Ch. 7

-Few Days Later-

A few days later Reed and Tony decided to have Comet and Jessica try their hand at the simulator room once again. And once again they ended up with fighting.

"You should've gotten the button" Comet said.

"No you should've gotten it" Jessica retorted angrily. Reed sighed and glanced at Tony, who nodded.

"Okay, to have you work together I'm going to allow Jessica to watch how Comet fights when teamed up with Johnny" Reed said. Johnny and Comet nodded and went into the simulator room while Reed set it to the highest level, level 15.

-Simulator Level XV-

Comet looked around the gray room, filled with shipping containers as a familiar red-haired woman steeped out.

"Johnny my man" Lavina said in a sugary-sweet voice.

"Lavina" Johnny replied with a curt nod.

"What do you want b****" Comet snarled, her body encasing itself in ice.

"Nothing with a w**** like you" Lavina sneered. Comet lunged at Lavina as Doom-bots spilled out of the containers.

-Watch Room-

"Wow those two work good together as a team" Jessica commented.

"Yeah. They are a good team" Sue said watching her brother and future sister-in-law fight against the woman who recently threatened their lives.

"I've never seen Comet fight with this much heart" Jessica said.

"Yeah. Comet hates Lavina. A few months ago Lavina was saved by them. She turned on them, almost killed Comet and turned Johnny against us. Of all of us I think Comet has be en affect the most. When we first got our power we were all almost killed, then Doom managed to kill me, but I was saved by a galactic being named Norrin Radd. After that Doom used us being sick to almost kill Johnny and last time Comet was so close to death that she will never forgive Doom, Lavina, or anyone allied with them, even though Doom 'killed' Lavina" Sue explained.

"Wow. I had no clue why she was such a cold person, other than her life had been threatened more times than most people" Jessica said slowly. Sue nodded and they turned their gazes back to the simulator room.

-Simulator Level XV-

Comet groaned in frustration and stomped her foot before throwing another ice-spear at Lavina who easily dodged it. She was about to curse when she felt a restraining hand on her shoulder. Comet looked up to see Johnny gently restraining her shoulder.

"Relax" he cautioned. Although she didn't wish to relax, she did because he told her to.

"I can't believe we were ever friends in high-school" Lavina sneered. Comet shook her head and said, "We still would be, if you hadn't tried to destroy my life".

"Destroy? Nah all I did was steal your boyfriend...who I see you are back with...again" Lavina said pointing a finger at Comet. A bolt of electricity flew from the finger to the ice-covered girl, who ducked and said, "Batter up". Quickly, Johnny took off to the ceiling, destroying any Doom-bots in his way Once he was in the correct position, he threw a fire-ball at Comet, who hit it with the ice-bat she made. The ice-covered fireball flew at Lavina and hit her in the face, knocking her down. Comet slid over as Johnny landed. After making ice-cuffs for Lavina, Comet and Johnny stepped out of the simulator room.

"Good job guys" Jessica congratulated the duo.

"Thanks Jessica" Comet replied, smiling slightly at the mutant. Jessica smiled back and went into the simulator room, followed by Clint.

"Okay guys, I'm setting it to level XV. You must capture the woman named Lavina and defeat the Doom-bots" Tony told them. The room changed as Clint and Jessica readied themselves for the fight.


-Watch Room-

"Why does Jessica act like she is so high and mighty all the time?" Comet asked Natasha. The red-haired assassin looked up and sighed.

"Jessica is very smart. She was top of her class all during school life. Valedictorian, 35 on the ACT, she really does act that way because it is how she was in high-school. Now here outside of high-school she is still smarter than 75% of the world. Understand that she knows her pecking order in the world and she knows she is in the top 25% of the world" Natasha explained. Comet was silent for a moment before saying, "I understand. At times it is...hard to get along with a person if they don't know that they are as smart as they say they are, but since she knows she is there...I guess I thought she was just overestimating herself.". Natasha nodded and they watched Hawkeye and Jess fight Lavina.


-Later that Night-

Later that day, during the night, Thor looked out to the sky. He was thinking about Lady Sif, his childhood friend and almost more. Sif and Thor were almost romantically involved but his fascination with Midgard, or Earth as it was called here, repelled her. He thought of the other, and of how they were with each other. The looks of love and devotion they gave each other pained him, when he got back to Asgard he would try to mend his relationship with his childhood friend.

-Johnny's Room-

Comet stepped out of the bathroom and into the room she shared with Johnny to see him sitting on their bed, deep in thought.

"Hey, whatcha thinkin about" she said softly. Johnny looked up and pulled her into his lap.

"Lavina" he said, "I don't think she is dead. Remember the voice we heard". Comet nodded and she really did remember.

Flashback

The Fantastic Five just deactivated Doom's force-field and grabbed him from his castle where he was apparently alone. They were leading him out when a female voice laughed, "They fell for our trap boss". Doom replied, "They sure did" and laughed evilly

End Flashback

"If she did survive, it won't matter. We will defeat her again" Comet said, pressing her lips to Johnny's neck...

-Jessica and Anthony-

Jessica looked up from her position in Anty-Cakes arms and curled in closer. Automatically Anthony pressed his lips to her forehead and kissed her gently.
