WARNING: THE AUTHORS GERMAN IS A LITTLE RUSTY
enjoy...
It had been about seven minutes since Darcy, Winter and of course Michelangelo had found themselves locked inside the cage on board the SHIELD hellicarrier and already the two women had gone insane. The combination of the wailing siren and the pitch darkness had reduced the women to find a new form of entertainment, which sadly proved difficult as both Winter and Darcy had short attention spans.
"Let's have a sing-a-long!" Winter exclaimed her inner child having been released after being locked in a cage for over six whole minutes.
Darcy nodded in agreement whilst clutching Michelangelo to her chest "Sound like fun!" She answered.
"What?!" Winter exclaimed, having now hear Darcy's reply.
"Sound like fun!" Darcy shouted, grinning madly once Winter's mouth formed an 'o' shape.
"What song shall we sing?" Winter asked, having now given her amazing plan not much thought.
Darcy grinned before turning to face the silver-haired woman "I know the perfect song"
It seemed that all the SHIELD agents were currently irritated with the combination of the wailing intruder siren, the pitch darkness and of course the wailing singing which no one knew where it was originating from. However the most irritated was the one-eyed director of SHIELD as it seemed that all the surveillance cameras had gone down due to some sort of interference…which the director assumed was something to do with their silver-haired guest.
"When, Darcy called, saying that the place was dark…I never thought this dark" a familiar voice stated behind him. Fury turned only to be met with the blinding light of the arc reactor as it glowed through the material of Tony's shirt.
"Stark" Fury said however both parties knew that Fury meant 'stark what the hell are you doing on my hellicarrier'
"Liking the darkness and the wailing sirens it really screams 'protecting the earth'…I mean literally because…" Tony suddenly trailed off due to the glare he was receiving from the director.
"Darcy and… your guest are trapped in reindeer games' old cage" Tony said, a smirk clear on his face at the nickname and Fury had to resist the urge to roll as his eyes at Tony laughing at his own jokes.
"That explains the signing" Fury said dryly before the words 'Ich weiß, ein Lied, das auf die Nerven gehen wird, auf die Nerven gehen, auf die Nerven, ich weiß ein Lied, das auf die Nerven gehen wird, und das ist, wie es geht' slightly muffled were heard.
Tony cocked a brow at the singing "Singing in German?" Tony asked, slightly impressed at how the singing was even heard over the sirens. "Wonder what they're saying?" He muttered to himself
"Loosely translated it means; I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, the nerves, I know a song that will get on your nerves, and that's how it goes" Steve explained as he walked in behind Tony, dressed in his civilians clothing.
Tony feigned a look of mock amazement at Steve's translation "There's just no end to the level of perfection, is there?"
Steve merely shrugged "I try" He stated before walking out the room and leaving Tony confused.
"Did spangles just…joke…as in humour?" He asked, no in particular since Fury was loudly exhaling making it pretty clear that he just wanted everyone to leave him in peace and for the singing to stop.
However he frowned once more once they started singing in a different language.
"Я знаю песню, которая действует на нервы, действует на нервы, действует на нервы, я знаю песню, которая будет на нервы, и это, как она идет"
"Russian…well have fun Fury" Tony said with a sigh before walking out and leaving Fury alone to listen once the singing changed to Arabic.
"Hey look its Agent Galaga!" Tony exclaimed as they spotted the familiar dark-haired agent. Steve felt kind of sorry for galaga- as Tony had so graciously dubbed him ever since the battle of New York where said Agent was spotted playing the game on the hellicarrier.
"Tony his name is Agent Grayson" Steve pointed out to the genius.
Tony made a scoffing noise "I know that, Spangles…but galaga is more interesting" Tony grinned.
Said agent shook his head before using his card key to open up the door to the room where Loki's old cage was currently place and where the singing was residing.
Tony barely stifled a laugh at the sight before them, sitting in the cage were Darcy and the SHIELD girl…and a terrapin.
SHIELD girl had her arms wrapped around the reptile while her back was pressed against the glass cage while Darcy was loudly singing the lyrics to Jesus of Suburbia
"I'm the son of rage and lo- Winnie look its iron face and captain stars and tights!" Darcy exclaimed excitedly as she planted her palms flat on the glass of the cage.
Winter turned round to face Darcy confused "All I see is Tony Stark and Steve-oh wait that's what you meant" Winter sighed before said genius started to laugh.
"Don't just stand there, get us out of this cage" Winter hissed her annoyance clear in her tone.
Tony feigned a look of mock hurt "rude…maybe I'll just leave you there" He grinned
"Don't I need to pee" Darcy whined and thus initiating a short silence.
Agent Galaga let out a small chuckle before pressing some buttons on the control panel thus releasing the two women from the cage.
"Freedom!" Darcy exclaimed excitedly as she ran out of the cage, she then turned t face the agent with a smile "...Thanks Galaga" Darcy smiled as she walked towards Tony and Steve.
Winter frowned at said agent "Galaga…is that your actual name?" She asked confused, as far as she was concerned 'Galaga' was a game.
Before Galaga could answer, Tony had his hand on Winter's shoulder "No his real name's pretty boring so we're actually doing him a favour" He stated it seemed that Tony had actually convinced himself that he was actually doing the agent a favour.
Steve frowned "Or we can call him by his real name" He pointed out with a frown and Agent Galaga nodded in agreement.
"Where's the fun with that?" Tony asked and before Steve could answer Darcy had thrown both of her arms round the two men's shoulders thus ceasing the argument about to commence.
"So...I invited Winnie back to the tower?" Darcy declared with a grin.
Both men exchanged glances before Tony narrowed his eyes at the silver-haired woman "Winnie...she's given you a nick name too?" He asked whist trying and failing to stifle a laugh.
Winter sighed loudly "At least it's better than iron face" She muttered causing Steve to let out a small chuckle and respond with "Anything's better than iron face"
"Um...miss Snow" said the voice of Agent Galaga causing everyone to turn and face him, he suddenly stiffened at having all eyes on him and nervously cleared his throat.
"Spit it out, Galaga, we don't have all day" Darcy exclaimed as she narrowed her eyes at said agent and Tony laughed at the agents raised brow.
"Fury wants you in the lab" Galaga stated, causing Winter to involuntary shiver at the prolonged eye contact she was having with the dark-haired agent.
"Lab...For what?" Darcy asked, voicing every one's thoughts.
"What, does Fury wan to turn another bastard named snow into a test monkey?" Tony asked, thus earning a glare from Winter at the nickname and a look of confusion from Steve.
"Another bastard named snow...seriously?" Winter asked with a raised brow.
Tony nodded "Can't expect to have the last name snow and for no one to call you that" Tony stated as if the matter couldn't be helped.
The sound of Galaga clearing his throat attracted all their attention back to current situation "He just wants Miss Snow to be assessed by some of the SHIELD scientists" Galaga stated.
Winter stiffened slightly, the sound of doctors prodding her with needles didn't exactly sound flattering.
"Winnie isn't going anywhere...right, iron face" Darcy declared before turning to face Tony.
Tony nodded "Even though I just met her... we have already formed an unbreakable bond" He stated before ruffling her silver hair and earning himself a glare from said woman.
"Has Fury even asked Miss Snow for consent...or has he just decided to call the shots as usual?" Steve asked Galaga with a frown.
Galaga stiffened at the super soldier's tone before turning his attention back to Winter "This isn't compulsory, just to learn more about you and your abilities...completely at your own choice" Galaga stated in a monotonous voice however Winter noted the hint of kindness...it was almost understanding.
"Fine" Winter said after a short silence before turning to Steve and placing the terrapin in his arms "but can you look after Michelangelo...he gets nervous in labs" she asked, leaving Steve little choice but to look after the terrapin as she followed Galaga out of the room.
"He is kind of cute once you look past the wrinkles'" Tony stated after a short silence as he patted Michelangelo on the shell.
Darcy felt a wave of sadness go through her as she saw the expression of pure fright on Winter's face. Her silver eyes had widened to an extent that he dark-haired woman was worried that they would actually fall from the sockets.
Never before had she seen someone look so nervous- scratch that she had seen Bruce look this nervous when he was worried that he would 'hulk out' in the middle of Disney land...but that is another story.
"This won't hurt a bit, Miss Snow" The SHIELD scientist announced as he prepped one of the syringes for taking a sample of Winter's blood.
The sound of the latex gloves snapping against his skin echoed through the room causing Winter to jump slightly.
Slowly, Winter placed her arm on the chair rest, getting it into an easy access angle for the scientist.
"So...you done this before...you know shoving things in people..." Winter asked and Darcy had to resist the urge to burst into a fit of giggles.
Darcy had her hands covering her mouth in order to muffle out her giggles "Shoving things into people..." she muttered under her breath before giving a small and discreet laugh.
Winter directed a small smile at Darcy before turning back to the scientist who had already finished taking his sample from Winter.
"What are you hoping to find from tests, doctor?" Winter asked the scientist as she he started prepping the test to take Winter's blood pressure. (hella fun)
"Well to be honest Miss Snow-" The doctor started before Darcy gave a loud yawn thus interrupting him "We're hoping to find the case of your...gifts" He explained.
"You think that it may be the x-gene?" Winter asked hopefully.
Darcy suddenly sat up, genetics and mutation always fascinated her "Like the X-Men?" She exclaimed excitedly.
The doctor rolled his eyes causing Darcy to pout "Yes like the X-Men, but to be honest, Miss Snow...I don't think that it s the x gene"
Darcy frowned, if Winter's powers where part of her then that would mean that it was a result of her DNA making her a mutant.
"Miss Snow you said yourself that you had these powers from a young age, sufferers of the x-gene come into their mutation abilities during the adolescent years...during puberty, meaning that you don't' have the x-gene" The doctor stated after a slight hesitation.
Winter nodded in understanding her silver eyes exhibiting a hint of sadness "I was afraid you would have said that" she said before the heart monitor suddenly started sparking causing Darcy to jump slightly.
"Whoa...calm down with the fireworks, okay, Winnie" Darcy gasped causing Winnie to glare at her due to the nickname.
Darcy watched as the doctors eyes widened at the sight, he started scribbling little notes down onto his notepad and then immediately started typing on the small holographic screen that had appeared in front of him.
"Fascinating...Miss Snow, it appears that your powers are linked with your emotions...may I ask how you're feeling right now?" He asked whilst never taking his eyes away from the screen.
Darcy exhaled loudly for it seemed obvious to her how Winter was feeling to her. n
"Um...scared...confused" Winter said between shaky breaths and the doctor nodded before typing more notes down on the holographic screen.
"Most fascinating..." He muttered once he had finished "Perhaps on a later date we can bring you in for further testing to determine the extent f these powers" He suggested causing Winter to stiffen slightly.
"That sounds great, doc...really..." Darcy started as she stood up and started pulling winter out of her chair "But Winnie and I are going to be really busy so we'll give you a call sometime" Darcy said before slamming the door to the lab shut and leaving the doctor very confused as to what just happened.
"Now..." Winter started once she turned away from the lab "What exactly are we supposed to be doing that is really busy?" winter asked with a raised brow.
Darcy shrugged "Game of Thrones marathon?" she suggested with a grin.
Winter nodded "Game of Thrones marathon" Winter answered with an identical grin.
So what did you think of that?
I gave Galaga a name as in the Avengers movie the poor soul was just a nameless agent.
The languages roughly mean 'I know a song that will get on your nerves and that is how it goes?' something like that but my Russian dictionary is a bit meh combined with my mediocre german skills.
Stay tuned for the next chapter which will be full of a Game of Thrones marathon and hidden Oreoes
