Chapter 3
I know early. But this is just so Molly and I's story's line up. And I was excited. Enjoy!
"W...what you mean intruders?" Liz nervously asked Jarvis.
"There are three intruders on the sixteenth floor of Avengers tower, miss Stark." Replied the AI. Liz looked up at The Captain.
"Jarvis, do we know who they are?" He asked.
"I'm am currently checking SHIELD files now, but so far I have not found any thing, captain Rogers"
"What do they look like?" He asked as he pulled out his shield from his gym bag.
"There seems to be a man in a green hood with a bow and arrow, a man with a gun, and a woman in a black suit and mask fighting with a staff."
"A bow and arrow and a black suited women? This doesn't sound familiar at all." He said
sarcastically. "Is this a trick that Clint is playing?"
"Sir, agent Barton and agent Romanoff are currently on the other side of the Tower." Jarvis told them. Fear creeped into Liz's head. She looked up at the Captain.
"W...what the hell is going on?"
St...The captain looked at Liz sympathetically.
"Stay here." He said.
"What? Hell no! My brothers in danger!" Liz said trying to keep her voice steady.
"Elizabeth please. Your brother may be in danger but if you go out there you will be in danger too. Stay here!"
"I thought I made it clear. Hell no."
"Elizabeth your emotions are running to high and your not going to be able to handle this. Please stay here."
"No!"
"Huh. Fine. But your going to need this."
The captain handed her a gun. To be honest this just added to Liz's fears. She had never used a gun. And a 105lb girl didn't look very intimidating she was guessing. Liz swallowed and nodded before following the captain to the sixteenth floor.
···
When Liz and the Captain got to the sixteenth floor they saw Clint with his bow drawn, Natasha had a gun in each hand switching her target between three people, Tony was trying to reboot something on a laptop, Steve looked ready to throw his shield, a man in a green hood had a bow drawn and pointed at Clint, a bleach blond in a black suit with a bow staff stood next to him, and a darker skined man had a gun pointed at Natasha.
Wait what? Two different guys, with bow and arrows? What is happening to the world?! Is every one resorting to middle age weapons now? Or is that just a trend?
Liz shook the thought away.
"Jarvis what's going on?!" Tony yelled
"Sir I'm afraid I'm being cranberried" the AI replied.
"Wait some ones hacking Jarvis!?" Liz asked in shock
"Felicity focus!" The man in the green hood said.
What the heck is going on? Liz ran out of the room. She was going to kill who ever was hacking Jarvis.
"Nope! Your not going any where!" Clint says grabbing her arm.
Liz nodded and turned back to face the crowd. She swallowed and breathed out realizing she was shaking.
"Who are you?" Captain Rogers asked preparing to signal the team.
"Who are you?" The man in the hood asked.
"Um were asking the questions here because last I checked we didn't come and invade your tower." Tony said in an extremly ticked off tone.
"Who we are is none of your concern." The hood said.
"Arrow lets just get what we need and get out." Said the darker man.
"And what do you want from my Tower?" Tony said
"Tony your a billionaire. What do you think they want?" Clint said obviously shocked at Tonys idiocy.
"We're not here for your money Mr Stark." Hood said.
"Then what the hell do you want?"
"Thats not important!"
Every one was on edge. Liz was worried a fight would break out. And she would be cought in the middle of the it with a gun she had no idea how to use. Which considering her brother used to make this stuff was kind of sad. Liz swallowed again wiping the beds of sweat from her forehead. She felt like she was going to throw up. She held herself together and stayed silent.
"Give us what we need and we will leave Mr. Stark." Hood said making his point clear.
"And what do you want exactly?" Tony asked
Liz was terrified. She was trembling and praying that no one would notice. Shush looked around the room. Liz saw Captain Rogers mouth "it's ok" in her direction. She nodded and directed her attention back to Tony and the Hood.
"Arrow don't tell him!" The third party said.
The blonde had stayed silent the entire "face off". But to be fair so had Liz.
"Diggle fall back. Well finish up here."
The man nodded and left the room. Liz thought about following him but knew Clint wouldn't let her leave. After the man walked out every one looked back to the man in the hood, and the girl in the black suit. The two actually reminded Liz a little bit of Clint and Natasha. She pushed the thought aside. These people were trying to take over her tower! Stark tower, not Avengers tower, Stark tower! Her baby in which she got 60 percent of even though Pepper only got 12. Liz considered pulling her gun out. Every one else had weapons at the ready and it didn't look like they planned on lowering them any time soon. The face off was suddenly interrupted by Jarvis.
"Mr. Stark I'm afraid there has been a lab break in."
"What!? You sneaky son of a bitch!" Tony said.
"Well it's been lovely but that's our cue. Canary!" The girl hesitated. "Canary!" The hood called again. He nodded to the blonde and they jumped out the window and ran off.
While every one ran to the window Liz ran in the opposite direction toward her room. She burst through her door and stumbled into her bathroom. She closed the door and let her stomach empty it's self. That was terrifying. Although a real fight never really broke out but things had started to heat up. Had it only been seconds longer and a fight might have broken out in a fight. Liz was pretty sure she heard a couple gun shots after hood and blondy had jumped out the window they had already come through. That was the most terrifying experience Liz had ever had. And she never wanted to experience anything like it ever again. As she stood up her body shook. She felt dizzy and extreemly nauseous. She was on her was to lay down when she heard a knock at the door. She went over to open the door. When she saw Captain Rogers she flushed. She was probably a mess. She had thrown up, cried an insane amount, and was probably shaking like crazy.
"I figured you could use this. It helps with stomach aches." Captain Rogers handed her a ginger ale.
"Thank you." Liz said choking back a sob.
The captain looked at her his eyes full of worry and sympathy.
"Liz if you ever need any thing, even if it's just some one to talk to I'm here. And um once your feeling better let me know and we'll finish up that punching lesson."
"Thank you again captain. But how did you know I was sick?"
"Because believe it or not I could see it in your face the moment you ran off."
Liz looked at the captain. He looked back at her.
"Thank you again captain." She said.
"Your welcome." he answers
He walked off, and Liz closed her door and sat on her bead. She started at the soda that Captain Rogers had given her. She took off the lid and took a sip the bubbly ginger flavored liquid. Her stomach was already feeling better. Why had the Captain done this for her? He took her under his wing. Liz didn't know how to feel about that. Liz finished her ginger ale and laid down falling asleep.
···
Liz awoke to Pepper poking her head in the door way.
"Hey Pepper...Um what are you doing here?" Liz said embarrassed at the state of being she was in.
"Hey. Um dinner will be ready in about a half an hour so you know." Pepper said
"Oh, um, thanks. Ill um, get cleaned up then."
Pepper nodded her head and closed the door.
