Project W017 c21

It had been five days since they arrived at Spartacus, Coulson's team had arrived yesterday with Bobbie. Maria watched Alexa carefully noticing the way she acted around Natasha, who had come to her asking on how to act around Alexa. Maria had told her to be careful on how she talked to her to make sure not to make commands in conversations, but what had Maria concerned was that Natasha had come to her saying that Alexa knew exactly what she wanted before she did herself, to fix this Maria told her to try distancing herself and she did. Alexa came to her the day Coulson's team arrived confused on how to act around Natasha, the human side of her wanted one thing but the wolf in her kept winning, needing to please her, she saw Natasha was distancing herself from her and a part of her was glad but the other part hated it. Maria didn't know how to respond to that, well she did but she didn't want to say it.

"Say it, you have that look that you know something but don't want to say it."

"You won't like it, hell I don't even like it."

"Just tell me please."

"I can override the mark."

"You can?" hope gleamed in her eyes

"Yes, but…"

"Of course there's a but…"

"But I would have to mark you instead."

"That would be weird wouldn't it, I mean you're not only my alpha but my mentor."

"It won't be a romantic mark, it is a dominance mark."

"I don't get it, I am already submissive towards you. What else?"

"It's unheard of an alpha marking a loyal pack member, there could be any number of ramifications."

"But in doing so, the relationship between myself and Natasha would be less… awkward."

"Yes, it would break your mark of dominance with her."

"Would you have to bite me?"

"Yes."

"Do it."

"I…"

"Please."

"You're going to have to talk to Natasha and Sharon. By marking you my scent will be on you. They need to be alright with this before I do it."

"Fine. They should be fine with it, I mean it's not like I'm betraying them or anything." So she left Maria in search for her mates. It was going to be awkward to ask Natasha for this because in a way it did feel like a betrayal, as if she was saying she wasn't good enough. She found Sharon in the gym, she was sparring with Izzy. Izzy indicated to Sharon of her presence so they decided to take a break. Sharon came over to her carrying a water bottle.

"What's up pup? You look serious."

"I am, I need your advice and maybe your support."

"Shoot. I'm all ears."

"I think I have a way to get rid of my dominance mark."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"And are you wanting this?"

"Well yeah… it is too weird with it. I can't be myself around her, I be who my wolf thinks she wants. I'm a pushover. At least if I get it removed things will go back to a somewhat normalcy."

"Well if its something you really want I say go for it. I know Tasha would want this."

"There's a catch though."

"Of course…what is it?"

"Maria will have to mark me. I mean I'm already submissive towards her as she's my alpha, it shouldn't change the dynamic between us. A small price to pay is her scent will linger on me due to the mark. She says she won't do it unless both you and Natasha agree."

"I agree."

"Thank you Sharon." She said grabbing her into a hug. "Now I have to find Tasha long enough to explain before she tries to avoid me."

"You don't have to explain to her. She heard you." Sharon said looking over her shoulder, AJ followed her gaze to land on the red head Russian only to glance down to the floor once again getting overwhelmed by the feeling of betraying her. Natasha seemed to understand though

"Alexa, hey look at me..." She said moving closer to her once their eyes met she continued, "I give you my blessing. Let Maria do it." AJ nodded her gratitude then left heading back to Maria's office, she seemed somewhat nervous, it felt like walking the last mile. Maria was waiting for her already aware of the others decision. She pulled AJ over to the wall next to her couch,

"Alright this is going to hurt, I've turned this room on lockdown so nobody will hear you. Afterwards you will be asleep." Maria explained, AJ nodded she remembered. "Seeming that Natasha's mark is somewhat fresh it will hurt more so brace yourself." Maria continued, AJ still too nervous to speak nodded again. Maria moved over she held both of AJ's hands above her head with one hand while pulling the top of her t-shirt to reveal her shoulder. Looking one last time into AJ's eyes Maria bent over and bit into her neck. The sudden flare of pain had AJ revolting against Maria trying to push her off, but like Natasha, Maria held her firmly against the wall. It took everything in her not to scream, she couldn't contain the whimpers though of her wolf. She was completely freaking out, there was no tingling this time only sharp stinging sensations running through her body. That was when the burning started, this time she couldn't stop the scream. Her wolf took over trying every submissive gesture to make it stop, if she was in her wolf form she would have her tail between her legs, lying on the ground with her neck and stomach exposed. In human form she had her eyes cast down to the ground and trying to be small and less threatening, she had her neck exposed to Maria and now the screaming had stopped she was letting out whimpers. Her body language screamed submission, a part of her felt like passing out from the pain but the stronger part of her, the agent inside knew pain tolerance. She could feel herself getting drowsy and before she could stop herself she felt herself go limp as darkness over took her. Maria still holding onto AJ felt her go limp, so she finally let go standing up tall, she moved AJ to the couch and watched her sleep. She felt her pain as her mark overtook the younger agent, she felt her wolf go submissive but knew she couldn't stop, not until she fell asleep that meant the seal was complete. Watching AJ sleep looking so innocent and peaceful, she had no idea of the ramification that would certainly appear because of this but right now she didn't care.

"Ms Hills, Agent Coulson is trying to get in contact with you. Should I let him in?" ACE asked

"You can take my office off lockdown and let him in." Maria replied, there were beeping noises then the door opened and in walked Phil and May.
