Chapter Ten
"Jeez Jade, what happened to you?" Jan asked, removing the bandages.
"I got shot." Jade said dryly. Jan and Tori looked at each other, and then they both flicked her on the head. "Hey! What did you do that for? I'm wounded!"
"Not on your head." Tori said, glaring at Jade.
"Be serious Jade, what happened?" Jan asked, inspecting the wound. Jade sighed.
"I was stopping a bank robbery, and one of the robbers pulled out some kind of Stark rifle. The result was…this." Jan frowned and grabbed a pair of tweezers, then reached into the wound and pulled out a piece of metal.
"It looks like the bullet shattered inside of you." She said, frowning.
"Well, I was solid stone at the time." Jade said, shrugging. Jan shook her head, pulling out another two pieces of metal.
"No, you don't understand. It looks like the bullet exploded purposefully, like a frag grenade." She told them.
"Why would you make a bullet like that?" Tori asked, confused. "I mean, shot is shot, right?" Jan frowned.
"This sounds like something I heard in a meeting once. A man named General Ross hired Stark Industries to make a bullet that could bring down the Hulk." Jade and Tori both frowned at this.
"Looks like they failed." Jade said. "It didn't even bring me down, how was it supposed to bring down the Hulk?'
"I asked Hank about it after the meeting." Jan said, opening up her surgery case. "From what I understand, the idea was to put the bullets in a special Stark Industries automatic rifle, and then just open fire on him. Eventually there'd be so many bullet fragments in him that he wouldn't be able to keep standing."
"Death by a thousand little wounds? Makes sense." Jade said. "Why didn't they go through with it?" Jan shrugged as she began threading the needle.
"They produced a few bullets and rifles, but then Tony went through his epiphany in the desert and Stark Industries stopped making weapons." She turned to look at Tori. "Are you sure you want to stay for this? Stitching someone up isn't pretty, and I've got to do this for the exit and the entry wounds." Tori shook her head.
"No, I'm staying." Jan looked at her for a moment, and then nodded.
"Alright then." She turned back to Jade. "You sure you don't want anesthetic? This is going to hurt."
"I don't think I should." Jade said. "My powers are biological, so I'm probably not completely human anymore. I don't know what anesthetic would do to me."
"Alright then, in that case, I'm just going to apologize in advance." Jan said.
"Apologize for wha…Ow!" Jade gasped as Jan began to stitch her entry wound back together.
"Sorry, sorry!" Jan said, not looking up from her work. Tori walked over to the other side of the table and took Jade's hand in her own. Jade squeezed her hand, biting her lip to keep from crying out again.
Thirty minutes later
"Well, there you go." Jan said, putting her equipment away. Jade sat up and turned at the waist a few times, inspecting the stitched up wound.
"Thanks Jan." She said, wincing a little.
"You can't go out right away and be a superhero again you realize." Jan told her. "You've got to wait until the wound is completely healed, or else you'll tear the stitches and we'll have to do that again." Jade nodded and pulled on a shirt.
"Yeah, I'll be sure to do that." She said, walking over to the computers and pulling up a holoboard.
"Make sure she stays inside, okay?" Jan told Tori.
"You're acting like you don't trust me to listen to you." Jade called over her shoulder, pulling up the plans for her costume."
"That's because I don't." Jan said, folding her arms.
"I'll do my best, but she does have powers." Tori said, shrugging helplessly. "I can't exactly guarantee that I'll be able to keep her inside."
"I can get you some handcuffs if you want." Jan said. "I'm sure we can find some that'll keep her in bed."
"Kinky." Jade said, turning around and smirking at the two women.
"E…Excuse me?" Jan asked, confused.
"You realize you just told Tori to, in essence, handcuff me to the bed so that I can't disobey you." Jade pointed out. Jan and Tori's eyes widened and they both blushed as they realized the implications of what they'd just said. "Of course, I always pictured that I'd be the one handcuffing Tori to the bed, but I suppose we could take turns." Jade continued, her smirk growing wider as the other two women began to blush more fiercely.
"Stop it!" Tori yelled. Jade laughed and turned back to her holoboard, and Angela made a whip cracking sound effect play over the room's speaker.
"What was that?" Jan asked, looking around in confusion.
"Nothing." Jade growled, scowling and manually turning off the speakers.
"What are you working on?" Tori asked curiously, walking up to stand behind Jade.
"New plans for my costume." Jade said. "I've got some plans in mind that'll let me do some new stuff with my powers. Of course, I've got to finish inventing that new Kevlar first…"
"Come on, let's go to the lounge and watch a movie." Jan said with a smile, grabbing Tori's arm. "Jade's not as bad as Hank, but I know from past experience what happens when a genius gets caught up in an idea." Tori gave Jade a quick kiss on the top of the head, and then let Jan drag her out of the room so Jade could focus on her work.
Eight hours later
"I did it!" Jade yelled happily, strutting into the lounge. "Tony Stark can kiss my ass!"
"What did you do?" Tori asked, pausing the movie.
"I made a fabric that can resist a direct blast from an arc reactor for a whole hour, it's bullet proof, and it's fire proof." Jade said, doing a little dance. "I have made myself Iron Man proof! Suck it Tony!" Tori and Jan looked around in confusion.
"Are you talking to Tony over some kind of speaker phone?" Jan asked.
"Of course not." Jade said, plopping down on the couch next to Tori. "I don't want him to try and get me to not make the fabric, I need that stuff for my costume and he'll be constantly bugging me, which'll be really annoying."
"I am pleased to inform you that it'll take four days to finish producing her costume Jan." Angela announced.
"Why four days?" Tori asked, leaning against Jade.
"I've got to make a tailor made costume using a newly invented fabric, with metal layered legs."
"Why are there metal in the legs?" Jan asked, frowning.
"I figured out a way to fly using my fire powers." Jade said. "I just needed a way to focus the fire downwards, like a rocket thruster."
"Ah." Jan said, nodding.
"So what are you guys watching?" Jade asked, laying down so that her head was resting in Tori's lap.
"The Mummy." Tori said, struggling. "Now get off of me."
"No, this is your punishment for planning on handcuffing me to the bed." Jade said, smirking up at Tori.
"My punishment? Really Jade, really?" Tori demanded. "You're not my mom, you're my girlfriend!" Jade just laughed as Tori tried to get her off.
"Don't make me separate you two." Jan threatened, laughing. Tori folded her arms, glaring down at Jade.
"Calm down Tori, you're acting like I turned my head into stone or fire." Jade laughed. "What's wrong?" Tori blushed.
"It just feels awkward having your head…there after the conversation we had earlier." She said quietly.
"Oh, you're going to wish you hadn't said that." Jan said. Tori gave her a confused look, but Jade cut her off before she could ask what Jan had meant.
"Oh, I can make this far more awkward." Jade said with a smirk, rolling over so she was lying face down in Tori's lap."
"Jade!" Tori yelled, shocked.
"Told ya." Jan said rolling her eyes at Jade's actions.
"And yet you didn't try to move me." Jade said, lifting her head up to smile at Tori. "What does that tell you?"
"That you're a pervert." Tori growled.
"Perhaps." Jade said, kissing Tori on lips. "But at least I'm your pervert."
Author's Notes
Okay, remember how I said that one character from a Marvel movie was going to show up in this story? Don't worry; Wasp isn't that character, largely because she hasn't shown up in a movie yet.
On a completely unrelated note, I've gotten a lot of really great feedback for my story Night, and several people have asked me to continue the story. I'm perfectly willing to do this, but I have a question for you guys. You see, I had no plans to continue that story, so I'm going to leave it up to you guys. Do you want the story to be lighter and fluffier like the original story, or do you want it to be somewhat more serious, like this story? Please respond soon so I can give you guys what you want the most.
Thanks for reading guys! See you next time!
