Here's the next chapter. Sorry for leaving you guys on a cliff hanger, I try to make the story as interesting as possible.
Out for Blood
"Who the hell is Hamza?" Tony scowled at Thor. He was still in shock. But he was just able to utter.
"Lady Jessica's father, and ruler of Animalia Regnum."
"Wait but if he is the Dark Lord does that mean Jess…" Natasha tried to piece together.
"So you think my daughter is a follower of the dark path?" He chuckled loudly and the other dark forces did scared of what he might do if they didn't. "That princess doesn't know a dagger from a gun, and you think she's evil, she's a disappointment to the ten realms. She's the defect of her mother's gene pool. I only have one heir, she is nothing but a burden, a flea, a pest and some we must erase." He shook his and looked at one of the Lepardon's at his side, smiled and nodded. It got up and skulked to a devise on the ground.
"So everything you told my father was a foolish lie?!" Thor bellowed as bolts of thunder struck the lair. This got the Avengers scared, he had the guts to lie to the Asgardian's, even Odin. He simply shrugged and nodded and then looked over to the Lepardon.
"Send it to Avengers Tower."
Pepper was in the kitchen preparing for another excruciating day of conferences and meetings. Jess was good company to come back to she asked you what was wrong and listened whilst reading her book, then they just talked about random stuff. Pepper was looking over Jess's assassins robes, they had just been dry cleaned and Happy had brought them back. It was beautiful to say the least. It had armour as the base layer which was steel chain mail. Then came the fabric, it was like a long trench coat but made of white Egyptian cotton. The arms held snug to the user's arms but didn't restrict movement. The hood was shaped like a wolf's head but didn't cancel out the range of view. It also had a belt around the waist presumably for her swords and other weaponry. The sun shone on the pure white of the robes. It was a work of art.
"I like your assassin's robes, they're beautiful. Who made them?"
"My Brothers girlfriend made them about six months ago, it was birthday present and she needed a project to past the fashion university, well I'm off for my run." Jess sighed wearily. She got up from the sofa and took her assassins robes to her room.
"Ok see you, have a nice time" Pepper called after her. She watched her come back out of her room in her assassin's robes and used the elevator to go up onto the roof. Instead of running on the street she ran over the roofs of the skyscrapers. Jess didn't want to draw attention to herself, probably from the assassin training and the fact she didn't like big crowds. Anyway Pepper made toast and covered with butter.
"Hey, Pepper" Jane yawned and came into the kitchen. She sat on one of the bar stools. "Where's Jess?"
"Out for her run, do you want to go out for some dinner tonight?"
"Aaawww yeah, can we go to the one… WHAT THE?!" Jane screamed.
"Oh look there's someone there" His sly voice aimed directly at Tony and Thor. "It would be a real shame if someone… I don't know got hurt." He smirked.
"Don't you dare" Tony growled.
"Order him to get the Midgardians and bring it up on the big screen. The bots should be there." An image came up in the centre of the room showing the beast in front of Pepper and Jane. It knocked them to the ground making them bow.
"Why are you doing this!" Thor yelled at him.
"The Lepardon you see here is the pedigree of its kind and it needs the taste of Midgardian and Animalian blood. I will also need the knowledge of how defeat said enemies. It will absorb their brain matter and digest the information. There good enough explanation for you!"
"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch a wolf by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe." Hamza finished his sentence pointing to Pepper.
The weather was taking a turn for the worst. Wait… it was perfectly sunny a second ago. Also she had her instincts practically dragging her back to the tower for some reason… Weather changes, strange instincts.
"Oh…no" Jess whispered to herself, transformed into a wolf and sprinted to the tower as fast as her legs could carry her. She had to get there she was ten minutes away from the tower. If she sprinted she might make it.
"If you hurt her!" Tony screamed at him.
"You know screaming isn't the best way of negotiation."
"Sir Jessica isn't there" He glared at the person who had told him information.
"Well we're just going to have to search somewhere else aren't we! Let's wrap this show up then!" Hamza ordered. The Lepardon grabbed Pepper by the neck and held her up to one of the decorative pillars. Jane tried to get to pepper but was knocked down by its tail. She screamed in fright. The Lepardon held up his paw with intimidating long red claw at the end.
"NO… PLEASE" Tony was almost crying. Hamza smirked in his face but turned around when he heard nothing but Peppers whimpering.
"What is holding it up!?"
"Sir he appears to have spotted something else." One of the handlers reported. The screen became bigger and it focused in the direction he was looking. A black wolf was heading straight for him. Hamza's eyes widened and to everyone's surprise Jess leapt for the opposite skyscraper into the Avenger Towers glass exterior, breaking it with ease.
"Jess?" Pepper rasped.
Jess latched herself onto the beast's neck. The Lepardon reared backwards and landed on his back. Jess leapt off before he landed on the floor and stood between the beast and Pepper and Jane. She was like a sparrow compared to a golden eagle in height and size but not in strength. She then ran and tore off the arm that held Pepper. It squirmed on the floor as it waited for its leg to regenerate back. Jess transformed into her human form.
"Move away, now!" she shouted to them over the screaming of the Lepardon. Jane had to drag a dazed Pepper to a safe place to hide. Jess transformed into a wolf and went to attack the now healed beast. He swung at her and she dodged it with amazing agility. She then proceeded to jump onto his back but was meet with jaws around her shoulder. He rammed her into the decorative pillar creating a dust cloud. Jess was dazed for a second but quickly collected herself to dodge his three swipes that after made the pillar crumble. She then slid through his legs and was right behind him. He lunged forward with his tail, aiming it to where Jess was but hit the floor. She then rebounded off of another pillar causing it to collapse due to the weight of the Lepardon that followed. She spotted something and ran towards the towers electrical circuiting, the beast was gaining ground quickly. She ricocheted off of the covering and watched as the beast electrocuted himself. He snarled at Jess. His front legs and sword like tail were trapped in the wall. Jess spotted a perfect line up from the top of the three story hole he had made. She pinned his tail down and growled at him showing her perfect white teeth. He used his free leg he slashed at Jess but cut his own tail off in the process. Jess grasped the diamond cutting tail in her jaws and raw up the flight of stairs. By time she was at the top she was panting hard. She launched herself towards the beast weapon in tow. The bots had followed the whole fight.
"GET HIM OUT OF THERE!" Hamza demanded.
"Teleport 4%... 5%" He looked back to the screen to see Jess positioning the weapon at the beast's chest. The Lepardon roared as the weapon went straight through his heart. Jess jumped off the weapon quickly to see the battle she had just won. Jess then looked straight to the tiny robot and destroyed it killing the signal.
"HOW THE HELL COULD SHE FIGHT LIKE THAT?!" Hamza screamed at his small army.
"Xavier, t…t… trained her but she also taught herself a lot." One of the private stammered out.
"AND YOU FAILED TO TELL ME THIS?!"
"I assumed you knew with her being yo…" Those word were the last he would ever speak in these realms.
"Retreat back to the realm and set this place to self-destruct" Hamza walked to the teleporter and away from the body of the private.
"Yes sir"
They all teleported away and a countdown had begun. The energy, that held the Avengers, had depleted and Thor easily broke out of the force, he broke out Tony who then in turn helped get the rest out. They sprinted down the hallways of the base and made it out just in time. The explosion was loud and proud.
"Thor, Stark get us out of here!" Steve yelled as the roar of snow grew louder and scarier. Tony landed and Natasha and Clint Grabbed onto his armour. (One on his back and one being carried by him in his arms) Thor grabbed Steve and they flew to the campsite. Tony dropped Natasha and Clint off then raced to New York. Thor did the same however he effectively asked Heimdall to take him there. They didn't have time to pack everything so they just went in the jet.
"Tony!" Pepper cried as Tony emerged from his suit. He grabbed Pepper and kissed her. He hugged her tightly as if nothing could tear him away.
"Lady Jane, are you ok?" Thor shouted. She leapt to him and hugged him. He kissed her forehead and enjoyed the embrace. Jess who was now scowling intently at the bloody beast with her head on her paws as if she was waiting for it to come back alive. She felt a presence behind her. It was Tony Stark and Thor.
"That was pretty cool." Tony winked at her with a smile on his face.
"I have never seen in all my years of protecting your realm, never have I come across someone who could fight as bravely as that!" Thor hugged her tightly. "You will be honoured in Asgard as The Great Wolf Warrior." She jumped out of his grasp and shook herself as her deep black fur ruffled up. She sniffed the air and went over to the Lepardon. Looking at Tony then the beast and shrugged as best as a wolf could and raised an eyebrow.
"Jarvis, clear up that… thing"
"Yes, sir."
Jess transformed into a human and watched as a robot come with a rope to try and drag the beast away waiting for Shield to take it away. Another came and cleared the glass off of the floor.
"Yeah… sorry about the window." Jess smiled shyly.
"Don't worry about it." Tony patted Jess hard on the back.
"Thanks Jess." Pepper ran up and hugged Jess.
"Don't mention it, really, you guys were nice enough to take me in."
"Well, he didn't stand a chance from what we saw." Tony said as Steve appeared from the elevator, followed by Clint and Natasha.
"Well, if you need me I'll be in the library." Jess smiled and walked off towards down the hallway.
"Do you think we should tell her?" Natasha asked noticing Jess was oblivious to everything about her father and the prisoners.
"Later, she deserves a rest." Clint sighed.
Hamza was out for her blood one way or another.
