LIA

"How are we supposed to take this without getting missiles fired at us again?" Aiden asks a great question as we get into an empty submarine. Thankfully, the Helicarrier is still a boat

"Simple," I reply, adjusting the SHIELD wetsuit we're both wearing, "we write a note."

"And you seriously think they're gonna read the note?"

"I guess we'll just have to find out." With that said, Lia uses her telekinesis to grab the nearest pen and paper and writes a note, which she leaves next to the submarine.

"Let's go!" she exclaims, turning on the submarine. I'm starting to regret letting Lia drive.

EMILY

More dark clouds are forming in the distance. "Call Aiden," I tell Jarvis as I hover in midair, watching them grow larger.

He picks up after 1 ring. "We're almost there," he says.

"You guys need to hurry," I tell him as I pull up a radar of the area, "another storm is coming, and it's looking as bad as the last one."

"We can tell thanks to our radar spazzing. The GPS says we should find you any second now."

I dive into the water and see a black shadow in the distance. "I think I see you," I say.

"And I most definitely see you. Is that one of your Dad's suits?"

"Nope! I made it for me out of a suit Dad scrapped," I feel my chest nearly burst with pride since so many people are complimenting the suit I spent so many secret painstaking hours building.

The sleek black submarine branded with the SHIELD logo comes to a halt about a yard away from me. A few minutes later, Lia and Aiden both emerge in scuba gear. I quickly hack my way onto their communication systems so I can still talk to them. "Woah!" I hear Lia exclaim. "That's quite the circle you found."

"Yeah," I reply, "even though it probably has nothing to do with Becca, it's still pretty cool."

Aiden was about to say something when we feel the currents shift around us. We start to get pulled towards the circle. "What's going on?" Lia frantically screams.

"Emily?" Sara interrupts my thoughts. "Have you checked out the radar? Do you have any idea what's going on?"

"I-I have no idea," I reply to both Lia and Saraas I struggle against the current that's growing so strong it's overwhelming my iron suit. "Grab my legs," I tell them, thinking of a last-ditch idea to possibly escape the currents.

They both immediately latch onto my gleaming white metal legs as I activate my boosters to go at 100%. We manage to break free of the ocean only to be faced with a giant waterspout. "This is exactly what happened when Becca disappeared!" I hear Aiden exclaim.

I hear staticky, frantic-sounding voice coming from my comms system. It's supposed to be Sara, but I can't hear a single word she's saying. "I'm going back underwater!" I tell Aiden and Lia as I cut off the boosters.

We plunge back into the water. I try to keep Lia and Aiden near my line of vision, since I know they're weaker with only some scuba gear. A bright flash off to my right distracts me. "Did anybody else see that?" Aiden shouts.

"Yeah," Lia replies, "I think it's coming from the circle."

I follow Aiden and Lia, who are succumbing to the currents, so they can get a closer look at the circle. "It's glowing!" I practically shout as my helmet's interface goes into sensory overload.

The elaborate designs on the circle are turning a bright gold color. They then begin to glow. I see some sort of vortex about 100 feet behind the circle. "It's the waterspout!" Lia shrieks.

Before I can reply, I feel myself get whipped into the vortex's hold. It slowly rips parts of the suit off my body. A blinding pain erupts in my left arm, then everything goes black.
