Jayden nodded. "Perfect," said Naomi.
Everyone shot Naomi questioning looks but soon turning to worried as six people came into view from both sides. Those people were the Avengers.
"Uh-oh," Symphany-May whispered, Logan stepped in front of her. I'll tease them about that later, Jayden thought to himself, momentarily distracted from the threats in front of him. Naomi switched her flame on, Logan had prepared to blast and Jayden created a breeze while Symphany stood meekly behind Logan.
"Back down," Romanoff said threateningly and Symphany realized that Naomi had her hands on fire and Logan had created a snake of water, ready to break through the windows at any given time. A small light bulb appeared above May's head. She grinned before creating a Venus flytrap that rose from the floor, its angry mouth pointed at the Avengers.
"Well this is gonna be fun," Naomi grinned wickedly before attacking. Jayden sent Banner and Stark flying into a wall while Naomi was throwing many fireballs at Thor who shot bolts of lightning right back. Romanoff and Rogers were busy avoiding the flytrap that Symphany-May was repeatedly striking at them. Barton was shooting arrows at Logan who was easily shielding himself from them.
Jayden looked over at Naomi who was now fending off four SHIELD agents at once. He turned his wrist, the helicarrier turning in that direction. Realising this, Jayden jolted his arm forward, the helicarrier again following suit. Everyone, bar Jayden, slid across the floor, colliding with a wall. All except for Naomi, that is. She managed to keep her balance all while hurtling balls of fire at her opponents.
Stark flew up in his suit, shooting repulsor rays at Naomi who dodged them with fire.
The helicarrier levelled again, Romanoff immediately lunging for Naomi, tackling her to the ground. Naomi burst to flames again, but the distressed Natasha remained latched onto the burning girl.
Naomi, getting impatient, shrugged off Natasha, the assassin easily releasing her from her burnt palms. Naomi made her way to Jayden, cornering him and shielding him while he tried to steer the helicarrier. He forced the flying fortress downwards, sending it crashing into the sea. What he didn't expect to happen was for the ship to stay afloat. The four teens were momentarily distracted, allowing the agents to finally seize them.
Steve cuffed Logan, Tony got Jayden, Bruce captured Symphany, and several agents including Natasha piled onto Naomi. Natasha cuffed Naomi's wrists with specially developed cuffs that disable the use of mutant powers.
"Let me get this straight, you want to train us?" Logan asked for the umpteenth time.
"Yes," Director Fury replied.
"Don't listen to him, Logan. He's a spy. He's the spy. His secrets have secrets," Naomi insisted, "What he really wants is to dissect us, use us as his little guinea pigs."
"Look, kid, I really don't have time for this. Either you cooperate with us or it's your ass," Fury threatened.
"Give me one reason as to why I should trust you," she challenged. Director Fury opened his mouth to speak but Naomi silenced him by continuing, "You tried to take blood from us, you fought us, and to top it all off, you threatened me."
"I really don't have time for this, I have business to take care of and super villains to catch."
"Yeah, I thought so," Naomi spat.
"Why can't you just accept that we want to help you? And frankly, you wouldn't survive a day in the real world now that you're mutated. People won't accept you. People will despise the fact that you exist, Naomi, if they don't hate your guts already," Fury said, his voice raising toward the end of his little speech.
"Anything else, patches?" Naomi said with a smirk. She was not going to let him crack her. She wasn't going to give in.
"Will you ever just shut up?" Fury asked, clearly irritated out of his mind.
"No. Did the wittle piwate think I would?" she said in a baby voice. Oh, she was enjoying this.
Fury couldn't take it anymore. He was usually calm and collected. He could handle super villains and terrorist groups. Hell, he could even handle Tony Stark. But this girl? This girl got on his nerves so much he didn't even believe to be possible.
Jayden chuckled as Fury stormed out of the room and Naomi continued glaring in the spot he had been standing in, with a small smirk on her face. She knew he would be back but, for now, she won.
"So," Logan began nodding his head toward Symphany who was silently growing vines to unlock the cuffs, "Any plans for lunch? Or dinner or breakfast? Whatever meal it is, I'm starved!"
Naomi slowly lowered her cuffs to make it easier for Symphany-May. She let out a breath if relief as she felt the cuffs click open and drop off. May got the others cuffs off and Naomi was full out grinning, first things first, she thought, burn Fury.
"What are you thinking?" Jayden asked cautiously.
"Rule number one when holding prisoners with superpowers. Never leave the door open," she said, skipping out the door.
"Come on, before she does something stupid," Jayden said, running after her with Logan and May following close behind.
"Naomi!" Jayden called in an attempt to stop the girl, "Come back before you get us into more trouble!"
"Make me!" she called in reply.
Jayden turned his hands to face behind him, sending a gust of wind to full-on blast him forward. He tackled her from the air, sending them both crashing down. He flipped her forward, restraining her wrists tightly against the ground to prevent her from using her powers.
"Hey, get off me!" Naomi screamed, trying to wiggle herself from underneath him.
"No… no," he said as Naomi once again attempted to escape his grip, "I'm trying to stop you from doing something stupid. We don't need to be in more trouble than we already are!"
Naomi stopped struggling and said, "You're right. You're absolutely right." Jayden loosened his grip and Naomi was up in a flash, taking off down the hall again, on her mission to find Fury.
