"You have it?" Pietro asked incredulously.
"Yep." Carol grinned coolly at him. She smiled at his obvious anger. He was practically seething. "Try and take it. C'mon, you know you want to."
"Logan! Cassidy! In my office ASAP!" Director Malloy bellowed from the door of his massive office.
Logan dropped the research papers he'd recently been faxed from one of his contacts. He turned to Sean.
"Ay, don't look at me."
When Logan and Sean entered the spacious office, Malloy gestured for them to sit down.
"Yeah?" Logan asked.
Malloy sighed. "Cassidy, Logan, what are you doing?"
"Listenin' to ye' talkin'" Sean cracked.
"Not funny. Gentlemen, there are hundreds of ways that you could be usefully working but instead, you're researching diamonds."
"Sir, we're investigating the radiation case," Logan said.
"Why? That's not even Weapon X's department!"
"We have lots o' information sir. This is very important and we may know what's causin' the breakout."
"Yeah," Logan piped up. "Check the TV. The mysterious radiation breakout is on every major news station. We have leads."
"So do the experts," Malloy countered, "the people who know what they're doing. Now if you two can't find something to do I suggest you help out Casey with his espionage case."
"But sir-"
"No buts gentlemen. Leave the radiation case to the people who are equipped to handle it. Dismissed!"
"No way I'm working that stupid espo case," Logan muttered as he and Sean left the office."
"I agre with ye'," Sean replied. He sighed. Now what?"
Logan was about to respond when his acute hearing picked up the words Eye of Death. He whirled around.
"What is it Logan?" Sean asked his partner.
"Logan turned till he saw Andrea Spencer talking to someone he didn't recognize. Andrea Spencer was a new agent with Weapon X. She was stuck up, rude, and snobbish, especially to Logan. On the flip side though, Andrea was a good fighter, didn't crack under pressure, and was drop dead gorgeous.
"Did you just say 'Eye of Death?" Logan asked.
She pretended not to hear him.
"Andrea." Logan said much louder. She turned around. "What? Can't you see I'm busy?"
"I need to know if you said Eye of Death." The man Andrea was talking to looked over at the pair with a look of annoyance on his face.
"Maybe, maybe not. What's it to you?"
"A case I'm working on. This Eye of Death thing seems to pop up a lot." Technically, that was a lie since Malloy had just kicked them off the case but hey, she didn't need to know that.
She eyed him very carefully. "This is Miguel," she said, pointing to the man she'd been talking to. "He's one of our informants. Usually we use him for drug busts but it looks like he stumbled onto a gang war.
"What?"
"Habia muchos explosiones. Habia una pelea. Alguien dijo, 'Eye of Death.' Eso es todo que se.'" There were many explosions. There was a fight. Someone said, 'Eye of Death. That's all I know Miguel blurted out in Spanish.
Logan paused for a moment.
"Need a translation?" Andrea asked.
"No." Logan turned to Miguel. "Donde estaba esto? Cuando acontecio?"where was this? When did it happen?
"Yo lo mostrare."I will show you Miguel answered.
"Hey, wait a minute," Andrea cut in. "You can't just whisk my informant off on a wild goose chase!"
"This is really important," Logan countered. "I promise We'll be right back."
"You will owe me so big," Andrea said at last.
"Gotcha."
"I mean," she continued, "you will be totally in my debt." She emphasized the word totally.
"Totally in your debt," Logan concurred, already heading towards the door with Miguel and Sean in tow.
"When Malloy finds out about this," Sean began.
"He'll have no choice but to congratulate us for solving the case," Logan finished. He opened the door to his Mercedes sliding in the drivers' seat. "OK Miguel, show me where you saw it."
Pietro narrowed his eyes. He turned to Rogue and she gave an imperceptible nod. Whoosh. He zoomed a Carol, hoping to put her out real quick. Unfortunately, that's where things went horribly wrong.
He threw a lightning fast punch at her, but when he connected it was like hitting a stone wall. It was the bones in his own fist that cracked, and she didn't move an inch.
WHAM Her punch was a lot more effective. It sent him flying through the air like a rag doll.
Rogue frowned when Pietro landed at her feet, obviously unconscious. From the moment when she'd first seen Carol fighting Remy, she'd suspected the lady was powerful. Now she knew.
Todd didn't seem to have realized this though. He leaped right at Carol, hoping to catch her off guard. He spat a glob of goo at her but she dodged it. When he landed, he shot his tongue out at her.
Carol hadn't been prepared for what came flying out of Todd's mouth either time, not that that stopped her from reacting. Her hand came flying up, catching the animated tongue just an inch from her face. I felt like she was holding a wet worm or something. She whirled around, smashing Todd into a brick wall by his tongue.
"Pathetic," she said.
"Freeze!" Everyone whirled around to see two men standing side by side, both armed. It took about three seconds for all hell to break loose.
Lance sent a miniature earthquake right at the two, Remy tackled Carol, and Rogue attacked Remy.
"Oooomph," Remy winced when Rogue hit him, knocking him off of Carol. He kicked up, sending her flying off of him. Remy immediately swiveled around, knocking Carol off her feet with a sweep kick.
Sean and Logan instinctively leaped to the side, the artificial shockwave barely missing him.
Bambambam. All of the sudden, bullets tore at the ground at the two agents' feet. Sean screamed, his mutant power creating a sonic barrier that the bullets bounced off of around Logan and himself.
"They've got snipers up there," Logan yelled. "I'm gonna go take 'em out."
Logan leaped out of the force field and out into the open.
A/N Sorry about it taking so long to update but I had computer problems. I know this chappy's kinda short but I have to focus back on my other stories. As always, review. Oh yeah, sorry if my translations are messed up, sorry. I got them from a translator site.
"Yep." Carol grinned coolly at him. She smiled at his obvious anger. He was practically seething. "Try and take it. C'mon, you know you want to."
