Yay! Chapter two is up! I am excited! Enjoy.
Disclaimer: The only thing we own is Fia and Smitty and part of the plot. Just not Abaddon.
As soon as Thor's hammer made contact with Abaddon I foolishly assumed it would be over.
It obviously wasn't.
That thing began to struggle to get up. As soon as I saw him move I leaped onto his chest mustering up the creepiest frown I could and begged the question "And where may I ask are you going?" I got no response, not surprising really. Hawkeye eventually popped up and took over for me. Immediately I made for the table farthest away from the door. A boy with light hair lay on it. I moved his face to look at me and knew almost instantly that he was gone. I closed my eyes and muttered my apologies then looked at the other bed.
Loki was already looking over the girl. She looked identical to the boy and in seeing this I felt sick. Her hair was short and blond but it looked as if it was burnt off. And the blood, oh dear Odin all that blood I didn't know where to begin. The most noticeable wounds were the hands. They were gone and I dared not look for them. The other was the cut on her neck. There was a stitched up gash that went all around her neck and it was still bleeding. I noticed right off the back that something was on the front of her neck. When Loki picked her up I stopped him from moving any farther.
"Hold her still for a second." As I got closer I recognized it as a square steel tile and it held a red hue.
Without thinking I snatched it off her neck. It burned, but only for a second. The brighter my hands glowed the cooler the steel got. Then I opened my hand and just stared at it and the dark burn it left on my hand which was curious because it should have healed already.
Suddenly the girl started convulsing. Loki bolted out the door screaming for Tony. I could hear Tony fly off back to the mansion no doubt. Quite suddenly my face was introduced to the floor. I threw whoever was on my back away from me and twirled around to see...nothing.
"Where is it? Hawkeye what the hell happened!" Then I realized that it was Hawkeye that had landed on me. He groaned as he got up.
"I honestly have no idea. I heard a tearing noise and turned around. Then I just went flying, sorry 'bout that." I grew quiet.
There was no sign of the creature, just the open window from which I'm sure he fled out of. As soon as I heard Loki re-enter the room I whipped around eyes wide with shock and realization and ask with a shaky voice "Is it possible that just by that one-" I grimaced"-encounter you had with Abaddon he could now be able to use magic?" Loki's face drained making him look almost; dare I say it, frightened?
He didn't respond, just walked over to a table in the corner of the room. The table was covered with very little papers which only looked like profiles printed off a computer or even stolen. Mostly though it was covered with tapes and some hand held recorders. I took a piece of torn clothing off the floor and started piling all the records onto it, avoiding the thought of who's shirt this used to belong to. After stacking everything useful onto the ripped cloth I tied it closed and held onto it. I turned back to look at the boy and starred. I wished I could just avoid the moment when that poor girl wakes up and realizes that her twin is dead.
"Uh, guys? We got a problem..." Hawkeye was on the other side of the room looking under another one of those steel tables.
I slowly approached behind him then froze when I got a good look. A pipe bomb. With less than thirty seconds left and still counting. "EVERYBODY OUT!" Loki and Thor flew out at top speed. I being only slightly slower because I had grabbed Hawkeye with my free hand before flying as fast as I possibly could out of that warehouse.
When I reached the door I began to move up and farther away.
Suddenly the warehouse exploded sending shrapnel everywhere. I dropped slowly to the ground so Hawkeye could stand by himself. As I looked at the large fire I realized that unless these tapes give us anymore clues about this monster we were back to square one. When I looked up to my other Asgardians I could see in their eyes that they knew this as well.
OK We hope you enjoyed. Btw we being the (almost) Almighty Gods of this story. This story will be updated every Saturday and Tuesdays.
