Hi Guys! Sorry the last video was so short. The commentary section had gotten too long but I liked it too much to get rid of it! So here is a long video to make up for it. Love you guys!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the OC's….
My plan worked! I can't believe that it worked. I thought she would have read my mind sooner. But you know, even if it didn't work, she would have talked to me sooner or later. She can't resist my pouty face. Never could.
She looked at me irritated. Shoot. She heard that. I grinned and she rolled her eyes at me. "Well Red, it did work." I told her.
"Shut up Jase. I wanted to acknowledge you. If I didn't I wouldn't have. And don't look so smug about it. You didn't surprise me or anything." she said.
I smirked. "Sure Red. You practically jumped. I got you good. Don't deny it." I told her. She glared at me.
"Don't push it." she grumbled. I laughed and she shoved me playfully in response. "I'll start ignoring you again." she told me.
I gave her a pointed look and put my arm around her shoulder. "Yeah well, you only lasted about 5 minutes." I told her.
She looked at me amused. "Oh it was a lot longer than that. It was at least an hour." she told me.
"Fine. Fine. Just don't start ignoring me again. That sucks." I told her. She laughed a little before kissing me on the cheek.
We walked back into the room holding hands and Uncle Steve smiled at me. "Guess you didn't need my help." he said.
I smiled triumphantly. "Nope. I outsmarted Red." Red looked at me with an irritated glance.
"Don't get a big head. This was the first and last time." she told me. I laughed and poked her shoulder.
"You wish." I told her smugly, daring her to contradict me. Uncle Steve groaned and put his face in his hands.
"Well Jase, If you want to bet on that I'd be more than willing to make a speech at your funeral." she said hotly.
"Oh really? I'd thank you but I'm pretty sure that you'll be dead at that point so . . ." I replied.
She folded her arms. "Fine Jase. SInce we really don't have the time to take that exact bet, I challenge you to a sparring match. Meet me in the arena in 10 minutes. Everyone else is welcome to watch and JARVIS will be the referee. Oh, and Jase? Prepare to lose." she said, walking away.
I looked at her. "You never could beat me." I said matter of factly. She shot me a look over her shoulder.
"Yeah, but you never could beat me either." she turned back and went to get ready for the match. All the girls followed her and all of the guys followed me. The parents went downstairs to sit on the bleachers.
I threw on a pair of shorts and took off my shirt, grinning. It distracts her, I know it does. I won't admit it, but I'm going to need all of the advantages I can get. You just admitted it, doofus. she telepathically said to me.
I facepalmed. Great. Stupid telepathy. I heard that too. I rolled my eyes and went outside my room where Elliot and Tanner were looking at me.
"So. You have to win. Or at least tie. I will disown you as a friend if you lose. So here's the plan. You need to distract her at all costs. If that means kissing her then using at as a distraction, go for it." Elliot told me quietly.
I shook my head at him. "A plan won't work. Red can read our minds remember? My thoughts are constantly in her head. I have to wing it, totally be unprepared. Otherwise she will see it coming." I told them.
"Right, which is why I'm saying that I can hack JARVIS to malfunction, turning off the lights, which will give you somewhat of an advantage because you can sense people's locations through their emotions right?" Tanner asked me.
I shook my head. "Nope. I'm doing this the fair way. And also Tanner, she's telekinetic now, she could just fly things randomly across the room until she hit me. Also, she can hack JARVIS with her brain." I shot down his plan.
They looked at each other then back at me. "Good luck man, but you're screwed." they told me. I groaned.
"Thanks for reminding me. But we have to go now." I told them. We walked downstairs to see the girls facing us. Red was wearing an EXTREMELY fitted black catsuit. Apparently she had the same idea as me, which sucks.
All of our friends took their places in the stands. I looked at Red before holding out my hand. "Good luck." I told her. She looked at me smirking.
"Thanks but I won't need it. But you will, so good luck to you too." she said. I stuck my tongue out at her. She stuck her tongue out back.
We got into position and JARVIS said go. I charged, letting instinct take over. I flipped her over onto her back and she flipped up and kicked me in the back. I whipped around only to find her on top of my back. Wait what?
She used her legs to flip me over but I braced my arms and flipped her over as well. She moved some stuffed animals with her mind and threw them at me as she got up. I got up and aimed a punch at her stomach, but she caught my fist and twisted it away, aiming her own punch at my stomach. I grabbed her fist with my free arm and we were full on wrestling now. She had the advantage of strength but I have the advantage of size. I
Suddenly though, without thinking about it, I leaned in and kissed her, planning on using it as a distraction.
But then I kind of forgot about the distraction part so she used it to her advantage. She pinned my arms behind my back and flipped over me so that she was behind me. I used my size to launch her upwards. I knew she would land right, so I didn't worry about it. She smirked and dived, landing on my back. I grunted in surprise.
She leaned in close and whispered in my ear. " You can't win Jase." she said. I smirked and looked back at her.
"But neither can you." and with that dramatic statement I flipped her off she she landed on her back. I aimed a training gun at her neck and when it looked like I had won, she moved the guns out of my hands.
"Jeez. How come she gets so many powers? She's completely human." I muttered to myself. I decided to use my powers now.
I channeled a wave of confusion into her and she seemed to falter for a second before realizing what I was doing.
She steeled her nerves and made me think about that damn catsuit she was wearing. Of course. Then I got it.
She looked at me curiously, a tiny hint of a smile on her face. I looked at her and charged, tickling her where I knew she was the most ticklish, right underneath her ear.
She fell from laughing so hard, partially because I was flowing happy emotions through her. Suddenly though, she unleashed a rainstorm of water spraying from hoses above us. Hoses, really?
The water was cold too. I faltered for a second and she took the opportunity to pull me down with her. I tickled her again as she protested wildly.
"Jase! Jase stop it! Stop! Oh my god, I can't breath! My stomach hurts stop!" she yelled breathlessly in between laughing fits. The ground was starting to accumulate puddles. I got up and accidentally slipped on one, landing almost on top of her, propping myself up with my arms. Talk about deja vu.
She apparently had the same thoughts- or heard mine- because she lenaed up and kissed me. We kissed briefly but stopped when we heard boos coming from the seats outside of the training room. Naomi was pretending to throw tomatoes at us while Tanner was booing us and giving us thumbs down. Elliot was yelling at me.
"Jason Smith! What do you think you are doing?! You should use this! You have her pinned down now! You are insufferable. Such a sap. You should've listened to me! Girls have cooties! Think about that!" he shouted at me. I stifled a laugh as Dianna whacked him on the head with her book. Jade made JARVIS shut the window to the room so that we were alone.
"Well that was an interesting fight." she said smiling, looking at me. "But just so you know, you didn't win. And tickling me? In my ticklish spot? That was low Jase. Really low." she shook her head in disappointment.
I gave her a look. "Seriously? You're the one that showed up in that." I said, gesturing to her outfit.
"Says the guy who turned up shirtless." she said, her eyebrows raised. "And TICKLED ME."
"Hey! That's hardly anything compared to what you're wearing." I said. She put her hands on her hips and glared at me. I raised my eyebrows questioningly.
Suddenly she grabbed a stuffed animal off of the floor and tackled me. She was straddling me and whacking my chest with a giant white teddy bear. It was kind of funny actually.
"Yeah, at least I'm wearing something." she muttered sarcastically. She looked at me and went red. I was blushing just as hard.
"Well, it's not like you haven't seen me naked before." I said, smirking. She whacked me again.
"Don't remind me. I'm still mentally scarred from that experience." she muttered. Last year she had accidentally walked in on me naked. Most awkward thing ever. But then again, I've done it to her too, so it's not like it's that awkward anymore.
She glared at me. "Sorry! It's not my fault what I think! It's your fault for hearing it." I said indignantly.
"Like I said. I don't want to listen to your pervy teenage boy mind. I have to deal with it." she told me.
I pretended to look offended. "I am not pervy." I protested. She rolled her eyes at me theatrically and I pouted.
"Sure Jase. Whatever helps you sleep at night." she said. She got off of me and I stood up, getting the cotton filling off of my chest.
She looked at me strangely. "Jase? You know I love you right?" she asked me. I was a little surprised. Why would she ask that? And why now?
"Yeah. But you know that I love you more right?" I taunted her. She glared at me.
"Well. As much as I love to win, I think I like kissing you better." She said.
I nodded. "Yeah. Way more fun." I agreed. I leaned in and kissed her.
I think everyone is right. We do make out wayyyyy too much. But I really couldn't care less.
This time she deepened it putting her on the back of my neck and pulling me closer. Can I just say, that for a girl that has never kissed anyone but me, she's pretty good at it.
I put my hands on her waist. She smiled and opened her mouth slightly, my tongue invading her mouth. I remember when we used to call this French kissing.
I smiled lightly into her lips. When we finally split apart she gave me an odd look.
"You have weird thoughts." She said. I laughed a little.
"Not my fault." I said. She grinned at me and hopped on my back. We walked out of the gym to see everyone glaring at us.
Eddie came up in my face. He was a few inches taller than me so he looked down at me.
"Jason! I'm never helping you again. You guys freaking closed the windows so you could have your make out session. Get real. This was a fight!" He blabbered. I was about to retort but Red clamped her hand over my mouth.
"So Elliot. Would you like to fight Diana? You guys would probably take it way farther than we did." She said concisely, the couple in question went bright red.
The parents ignored this, knowing which of their children have done what. We went into the common room to watch another video. I dropped Jade on the couch and sat down next to her.
Jade and Jason were sitting in the conference room staring at a certain man with an eyepatch. None other than Nick Fury himself.
"Listen Fury. I don't think I can do that. I only recently got control over my powers and I am really done with life threatening situations." Jade told him warily.
"Well, I'm not going to tell you any BS about it getting better. It doesn't. Use your new abilities for this. Nobody else can do it. You would automatically be updating to level 6 security clearance." he said flatly.
"Do my parents know about this?" she asked uneasily. He gave her a pointed look. "I'll take that as a no?"
"I'm not crazy. Your parents, especially widow, would never let you do this. The only reason I even told Jason is because I'd rather tell him myself than have him blow up my office because you told him. I will tell your parents once you are already on site and they can work the comms along with Jason over here." he said. "You leave at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't be late."
"I didn't agree to anything yet." she said stubbornly. "I'm not going. I'm done risking my life. I'm done being traumatized. I AM DONE." she said.
"You won't be in any life-threatening dang-" he replied, only to be cut off by Jason, who had been silent the rest of the time.
"You say that, but how many times do things ever go according to plan? Especially when they concern us?" Jason said hotly.
"Ok. I can at least promise that you won't die." he said. They looked skeptical. He shrugged. "It's the best I can offer you kid. Take it and save lives or leave it and let them die. Your choice."
"Oh ok. Sounds like a great deal. I won't die, I'll just live with mental trauma for the rest of my life. You need to wrap your head around the idea that I am 15. I have never gone on a mission before, let alone a risky solo mission. Yes, sounds brilliant." She said sarcastically.
"Well then. Let everyone else die. I told you it was your choice. Now hundreds of people will die at your hands. I think that will cause more mental trauma than anything else." Fury said, looking her in the eyes.
Jade's face twisted. He had a conflicted expression on her face. After a few minutes of silence she turned to Jason and had a short mental conversation.
"Fine. I'll do it." Jade said quietly. Jason looked pained.
"Red . . ." He said. She looked at him sadly. "I'll come back." She reassured.
"Be careful. Don't do anything stupid. I'll be on the comms the whole time. Can you at least wear one of those eye camera things so we can see things from your view?" He asked her.
She smiled lightly. "Yeah. I'll be ok Jase. I'll be fine. But I will wear that camera of you want." She said. She gave Fury a hard look.
"You are telling my parents and my friends as soon as I leave tomorrow. No later than that." She said, a terrifying glint in her eyes.
"No. They'll follow you. It'll compromise the whole thing." He said, being equally stubborn.
"Fine then. I won't do it." She said, folding her arms and glaring at him.
"You are hardly in a position to make negotiations." He told her, standing up. He looked terrifying but she stood up and held her ground.
"Actually, you need me to do this. So I am in a perfect position to negotiate. Do it or find someone else. I know you aren't used to getting ultimatums as much as giving them, but try to catch on." She said.
"You are naive if you think that you have ever dealt with an ultimatum." He said darkly.
She scoffed. "Oh really? I've dealt with too many to count. You need examples?" She asked him. He rolled his eye.
She slammed her has down on the table. "I had to deal with ultimatum of being tortured or giving up everything I know about shield and the avengers initiative. And, for your information, I know everything there is to know about shield. I can read minds." She snarled, and with that she whirled around and stomped out of the room. Jason stayed in the room for a few seconds, staring at Fury.
"If anything happens to her, I will find you and make you permanently blind." Jason growled.
"I don't doubt it. Nothing will happen to her." The man with the eyepatch said.
"You better be right. I don't want her to leave but I know that I can't change her mind. So either you put every possible precaution in place or I will show you what an ultimatum really is." He threatened.
"Don't make threats you can't carry out." Fury replied calmly. Jason glared at him harshly.
"Oh I'll have no trouble carrying it out. You need to stop underestimating us." She growled, walking out of the office. Fury stared at the door for a few seconds.
"Those two are worse than all four of their parents combined." he muttered, getting up and leaving the room.
(LATER)
Jade stood in front of the plane, her red curls blowing away from her face. Her face showed no emotion whatsoever, her expression stoic.
Jason came up behind her. "Be careful." he told her quietly. She looked at him over her shoulder.
"I will, don't worry about me. You will stay on the comms though, right?" she asked, her gaze softening slightly.
"Yeah I will. If Fury doesn't tell your parents as soon as the plane takes off I will." he told her She smiled a little.
"Thanks Jase. I'll come back. I promise." she said quietly. She stepped closer and wrapped her arms around him. "I love you."
"I love you too Red. I'll be there the whole time." he reassured. Jade looked up, tears glistening in her eyes. A single tear rolled down her cheek.
Jason wiped it off and kissed her. "Hey. It's going to be ok. I know that you want to save those people, but if there isn't a way . . . don't do anything stupid." he said quietly. He wrapped his arms around her again.
After a few minutes Jade pulled away and turned towards the quinjet. She took a deep breath before getting on and closing the ramp. Jason watched the plane take off and stood there, staring at the horizon as the plane drifted out of sight.
He sighed and went back inside. He went to the comms only to find everyone else already there.
Natasha looked at him. "Jason. Get over here. You can still feel her emotions from wherever she is? Good. We might need that." she said briskly.
"So Fury told you?" he asked. They looked at him skeptically and he shrugged.
"We saw you two outside. You made quite a lot of noise before going out. I'm assuming you did that on purpose?" Steve said.
"Yeah, it was an added measure in case Fury decided to be a-" he cut himself off, cutting a glance over to his parents who were giving him warning looks. "an idiot. We'll put it that way. Although I want to call him much worse things at the moment." he muttered the last part.
"You aren't afraid of him? I think he's terrifying." Juliana said, shuddering. Everyone laughed lightly at that part.
"No. He's just a- um, a very bad word, that is used to getting his way without being questioned." Jason growled. HIs powers were getting a little out of hand. He took a deep breath.
"Wow. Remind me never to get on your bad side." muttered Tanner, as he tried to recompose himself.
"I've landed." Jade,a voice came over the comms system.
"Ok can you set up the camera?" Jason asked her immediately.
"Yup. I'm going in now. He needed me because it's a maze. I need my abilities to find my way through it. I need my speed and strength to avoid the people chasing me." She said matter of factly, sounding totally nonchalant.
"Be careful." Natasha said worriedly. Jade was silent for a few seconds.
"Mom?" Came her shocked voice. "Is everyone there? Of course everyone is there. Ok don't be paranoid. I'll be fine. Just do your part." She said.
"Jade. Don't do anything I wouldn't do." Steve said.
Jade scoffed. "Dad, I'm practically your carbon copy except for the rebellious streak. That's all mom. Oh and my looks. That came from her too." She said. Everyone laughed.
It was true though, Jade has always been a leader. She is always the one to take charge and be the motivation or everyone else. Except she often risked her own safety for the others' welfare even when it wasn't totally necessary. That's how she got kidnapped. They had been out shopping at the mall by themselves, girls only, when they saw a few people being extremely suspicious.
Jade had followed the two men, telling the others to stay behind. Alana had gone after her after a few minutes only to find her gone.
"Ok. You are in. Be careful now." Coulson said, his voice oozing concern. He had no idea why Fury would do this.
(LATER)
"Ok, I dismantled the weapon. I'm heading out now." She whispered over the comms.
"Good now you have to-" they were cut off by Jade growling.
"What are you doing here?" She growled at a man in his mid twenties. He had stringy brown hair with evil green eyes.
"Why I should ask you the same thing." The man said.
"Don't avoid the question." She said coldly. The man smirked slightly.
"I see you are covering up your scars. Ashamed of them? Did you even show anyone? Of course not. You are too stupid to do that. Oh wait, you probably showed your fear Jaso didn't you? How far did the fake one go hmm? Did he ever get to-" the man taunted before being cut off by a sharp pain in his head.
"Shut the f*** up. Now. I don't really have time for this shit. So you are going to tell me what I need to know or this pain is going to get a lot worse." She said menacingly.
Natasha gasped from over he comms as she saw the man's veins bulging in his neck and his eyes bugging out.
"How are you- how are you doing this?" The man asked, clearly in pain.
"Why, I should be asking you that." She mocked viciously.
"You're a monster." He said, gritting his teeth. He was clutching his head.
"Well, that's what you wanted isn't it? So either you cooperate or I kill you." She threatened.
"Red. Control. Breath." Jase said quietly from across the comms.
"Sorry Jase. But I can't do that." She replied coldly.
"I'm not going to tell you what you want to know." The man said stubbornly. "You won't kill me. You haven't killed before." He said.
"Well then, I guess it's time for a taste of your own medicine." She said icily. They watched as the man's face contorted and he started screaming loudly.
"Do- do you enjoy my screams?" The man asked her.
She replied her with an emotionless voice. "No. I may be a monster, but I'm not like you. I finish the job." And with those final words the man let out more screams. They were loud and shrill and purely pain caused.
Eventually he went slack and slumped to the ground.
"Oh and by the way? I've killed plenty of people before." She said before stepping over his body and walking away from there.
"Red? What did you . . ." Jason asked, trailing off.
"I killed him. He deserved to die in a much more painful way than he did." She replied coldly, not flinching.
"Red. Are you ok?" Jason asked her. She flinched this time, visible from the way the camera moved.
"We'll talk when I get home." She said before pulling out her earpiece and smashing it on the ground and taking out her eye camera.
(LATER)
She walked back into the building and walked straight past everyone else. She went straight up to Fury and glared at him.
"So are you happy now? There were no lives at stake. The machine was going to malfunction on its own. You had an ulterior motive and I should have seen it. How dare you send me to get rid of him? You needed it done but not by me." She said harshly.
"It was the most efficient way to get it done." Fury replied stoically.
"Ha. Don't give me that. I am done. I just faced the man of my nightmares. The guy who freaking tortured me for a month. How about I stab out your other eyeball and tell you some bullshit about it being the me efficient way." She snapped.
"I don't have the time for this." He said and turned and walked out. Jade turned on her heel and stalked out of the room. Her eyes were burning with rage.
Jason followed her and grabbed her shoulder gently. She flinched visibly and spun around and glared.
Her gaze softened when she realized who it was. "Hey Jase." She said quietly.
"Are you ok?" He asked again. She looked away. Her eyes filled with tears. He wrapped his arms around her.
"I killed him Jase. I just killed somebody with my brain. I am a monster." She whispered quietly as tears spilled down her cheeks.
"No Red. You are not a monster. That guy deserved to die." Jason comforted. Jade sniffled lightly.
"I'm sorry. I'm being pathetic. I've killed before. No big deal." She muttered.
"You aren't being pathetic. Don't be sorry." He told her quietly.
"I- I didn't even know I could do that. It just kind of happened. I was so angry that I lost control." she whispered.
They stood there in silence for a few minutes, Jason keeping his arms wrapped firmly around her. "Thanks Jase." she said, pulling away and wiping away her tears.
She took a deep breath and dispelled all emotion from her eyes before walking back into the living room where everyone was. Natasha and Steve came and hugged her gently before pulling away. Juliana on the other hand, came and gave her older sister a massive bear hug.
"You could have died Jade! Don't ever do that again! Ugh. I keep almost losing my older sister. You need to stop risking your life." Juliana chastised. Jade snorted.
"Sorry Ana. I was very reluctant to do this. Mr. Efficient over there guilt tripped me into doing this. He told me that hundreds of people were going to die. They weren't. The machine wasn't even done yet. And they were lacking some key materials. It would have malfunctioned on its own. He just sent me to get rid of that- thing. And of course it worked. But to be honest, I didn't need the closure or whatever. That guy was a psycho, so of course I prefer him dead, but I didn't need to do it myself." she said bitterly. Not towards Juliana but in general.
"He should have consulted me first. I would never have approved this." said Coulson coldly.
"Uncle Phil. It's fine." Jade said. suddenly her expression contorted slightly, and there were sparks of anger in her eyes.
"You guys watched us? So I guess you don't trust me anymore? How dare you invade our privacy like that? I didn't want to go and come back like this. I didn't want to kill him. So what? Now that you've seen what I'm capable of you think that I'm going to go on a homicidal rage? Robert has been quite capable of doing that for a long time, but you don't invade his privacy. So what? I can kill someone with my mind. Big deal. Get over it. And just so you know? I can override any of JARVIS's commands. With my brain. So don't get any more ideas." she said coldly, her eyes burning in rage.
She punched the wall and left a massive dent in it before slamming the door open and walking out. She shut the door so hard that it fell off of its hinges.
Everyone winced except for Jason, who knew that she wasn't just angry. She was unexplainably sad and betrayed.
Jason went to follow her calmly, the only sign of his frustration being his eye twitching slightly.
Red had gotten up when she saw herself killing that man. I had followed her of course. "What's wrong?" I asked her.
She looked at me from the kitchen barstool that she was sitting on. "I don't know. I just feel so . . ." she sighed in frustration. "It hurt a lot more than I let on. Those things he said. He was taunting me in all the places he knew it would hurt. It's like he wanted to die. And he almost said- he almost revealed what had happened to me. I don't know. I just- I want- I want to feel okay Jase." she said quietly.
I took the seat next to her and put my hand over hers. "Red, look at me. Maybe he did want to die. He was practically asking for it. And if he didn't, he's even more psycho than I thought." I told her. She looked at me curiously.
"I love you Jase. What on earth would I do without you?" she said. I smiled slightly.
"I love you too Red." I replied. She leaned in and kissed me. We were kissing for a little while before we were interrupted.
"Ehem." came Uncle Tony's voice. "Am I interrupting something?" he asked. We ignored him and Red shooed him away with her free hand.
"Okaaay then. Have fun with that." he muttered before walking out of the kitchen. We ignored him once again, because honestly, I could care less.
