***********

On a Friday night, Liz decides to visit Mike, to see what he is up to, since he is a crusader to help the innocent Metahumans and Metas. She rarely seen him for the past week, because of family related or Predator duties.

She enters the mansion, as the bodyguard allowed her to come in and she smiled at him, he is fearful of her, because not to long ago, she big the living daylights out of him, "Mike is in the office, he is expecting you"

"Why thank you," she reached into her black slug slacks pocket and took out a ten dollar bill, "Go get yourself a drink" he took the money and then went back to work. She walks down the hall and enters the office, "Hello Mike, are you physic or what?"

"Nope, I knew you would come sooner or later" he is too busy to turn around and said that in her face, because he is on the computer, just typing away.

"Ahhhh, that's true, I decided to drop by to see, how you were doing, since I haven't seen you in like a week"

He finally turns around and looks up at her, "I'm good." He smiled at her, "Would you care if you do a favor for me?"

"Sure, what is it about?"

"I need you to protect a man who is a former employee of Quion" He immedienly stops talking, because he can tell, she would interrupt him, most likely she would.

"No way!" She paces back and forth, then she stops and stared him in the face, "Okay, what is the main reason you want me to protect this cold hearted beast from killing him in a heartbeat?"

"He's in awfully in trouble"

"Gee, I wonder why? Kidnapping children for a living and then cause them severe pain?" she crosses her arms, "This better be good"

"It is, actually, he is on the eyewitness protection program and I want you to protect him, because someone hired a Hit man to finish him off, before he tell a soul, especially to a judge what he saw"

"So tell me what he actually did to be on the eyewitness protection program?"

"These special drugs, with scribbles with designs and he saw what the drugs contained and he didn't like it and told someone"

"Scribble with designs?" She thinks for a second, "An Ex-Quion guard saw the drugs, freaked out till the cops came, then he must have been in the warehouse the same time me and Helena beat the crap out of the people trying to sell it"

"So what does this mean?" He is mainly focusing on who wants him dead and why he freaked out.

"My guess Quion wants him dead and for ever what reason, why these drugs are so special, my guess to protect him and get information out of him, and hopefully I won't snap his neck"

"Liz, calm down, just protect him and do not kill him, then Quion will have a head start, what choices do we have?"

Liz know he was right and she is going to protect this man, "Okay, I will protect him and try not to kill him"

"Okay, he is held up in police custody, in a small abandon house, I'm guessing your special ablities will locate him on the dot"

"That settles that, my scanning ability very comes in handy, takes for the tip." She exits the mansion and she goes over to her black low rider motorcycle and she drives off to the abandon house.

While riding she did a lot of thinking, 'Maybe this ex-Quion guy changed or maybe it's the same guy that did a lot of pain to me, who regrets to die a lot, but sadly, I can't kill him, maybe torturing him would do, probably I have to do verbal torture, that sounds good' She zig zags across several vehicles and going at a fast pace. Her two eyes changes to clear red, which means she using her scanning ability to locate the right house. She looks at several houses till she found it. She drives near it, but not to close. Her eyes went back to normal and she sees enlarges her pupils and sees Quion men ready to enter the place and she makes her pupils back to its normal small size, she did that in one second. "Showtime" she revs up her bike and sped over to the wooden door and she knocks down the door with her bike, "Sorry fellas" she grabs the Quion ex-soldier and puts him on her bike and she turns her bike around and speeds off away from the house.

"Thanks, Miss," he holds on tight onto her, so he doesn't fall of the bike.

"Shut up!" she turns her head and takes one look at him and she began to have flash-backs at this man's face, who was guarding her cell and occasionally tazoring her, for his enjoyment, the flash-back quickly ends and she gives him a rude frown, to show him, she doesn't like him, "Were almost to the hideout" she turns around and she keeps on driving and driving.

About ten minutes later she reached to this mini hotel, called Pandora 8. She gets off the bike and she grabs his by the upper arm and they enter the hotel. "Ow, not so tight, but wow, you have an amazing grip" she rolls her eyes and lets go of him and went over to the front desk.

"May I help you?" said the man at the desk.

"Got a room?" The Quion soldier turns to Liz and smiled, Liz holds back her temper and looks at him, "We are newlyweds, any rooms available?"

"Yes, follow me" The two follows the man, "Any room service?"

"Ye---"

"No thank you, we will be alright"

"Very well," they stopped at the door, "Here we are," he walks away from the two and they entered the room.

"Man is comes with one bed!?" said the soldier

"Shut up and sit, I will take the chair and keep an eye out for you" she closes the door and locks it.

He looks at her, "Feisty" he pauses and stares at her, "You look vaguely familiar. Do we know each other?" He has a weird feeling that he knows her, but he is waiting for her answer.

"The answers no!" she doesn't want to mention who she is, because he might be still working for Quion, plus she doesn't trust him, "Now sit"

"Okay." He went over to the bed and sits down and looks at her, she also sits down, but at the chair, away from this scumbag, "So, what do you do for a living miss?"

"Shut up, I don't want to hear your voice till twenty-four hours is up, then you can talk" She watches him carefully, like every move he makes.

"You know, I'm going to be bored for twenty-four hours," he looks at Liz, "Unless if you mind entertaining me a bit"

"Go to sleep." She really wants to strangle him badly, because he is starting to annoy her, but she can't, she can't kill and Mike and the rest of the people at the clock tower will be pretty unhappy.

"I can't sleep, unless we chat a bit"

She rolls her eyes and chatting is like the only way he would stop annoying her, "Speak." She looks at him in the eyes and she can tell he bit changed, like his personality, at least he proved that, but into an annoying scumbag.

"Okay, thanks for getting me out of custody, I knew my former men will kill me, if you hadn't rescue me and you probably have no idea what I'm talking about"

She knows he is talking about; this is her chance to get the information that she needs really badly about Quion and possibly Kane, "I know what you're talking about, tell me, what is going on at Quion"

He pauses and looks at her, "Quion? I have no idea what you're talking about." He begins to think to himself, 'Maybe she is a spy or assassin that is ought to get me.

"Oh yes you do," Liz knew she has to tell what she has to say to this enemy of her past, because she won't get nowhere, unless she gives him information about herself, "I was one of the escapees at Quion, the first escapee, does that ring a bell to you?"

"First escapee?" He thinks for a couple minutes and that caused him to have a flash-back at the night of her escape, he was one of the men who was trying to tazor her to death, but she took off and the flash-back quickly fades away, "Hey, I remember you, your Liz, how you been?"

She rolls her eyes, "That all you can say?"

"Sorry, its been a long time, since I last seen you, so um, how's life?" He is a bit amazed to see how Liz grown into a young lady, he is surprised she didn't attempt to kill him, not quite yet.

"Ducky, with Quion up my rear end, along with Kane," she pauses and looks at him, "Tell me why you got yourself kicked out of Quion and what is in the drugs?"

"Ouch, well, I didn't like what Ray buddy was up to and the drugs its some kind drug that permanents a form on a person or whatever, I have no clue what the drugs actually do, but it senses big trouble"

"Okay, that is all I wanted to know, now you can shut up and go to sleep"

"Well, a nice hot shower will help me fall asleep; I hope this doesn't bother you"

"Go ahead and get out of my sight," she is already getting a headache from this Quion soldier. He gets off the bed and enters the bathroom and closes it. Liz picks up a book off the coffee table and began to read it; she can hear the shower going off. She continues on reading. About fifteen minutes later she senses something wrong. She places the book down and went over to the bathroom door and kicks it open, finding it empty and notices a window is opened, "Ah great" she quickly exits the room and heads to the front desk.

She went down the flight of stairs till she meets to the lobby, finding empty, good, she went over to the front desk and sees the man behind the counter, reading a comic. She grabs the comic and throws it behind her, "Where did he go?"

"Who?"

She grabs him by the throat, "Don't play dumb with me! The guy I came with to the hotel!" She squeezes his throat a bit tighter.

"Your husband?" He thinks for a second, "He is at the local bar"

Liz releases the grip and she quickly exits the hotel. She went over to her bike and drives over to a local bar to get him back, quickly, before there are any Quion men are around.

Within minutes she reaches the bar and gets off her bike, "Ah ha," she gets off her bike and enters the bar, she starts to search the area, any sighting of him, finally she spots him, drinking a glass of beer. She taps him on the shoulders and he turns around, "Hello, we should go back home, you deserve a spanking"

"Oooo, sexy, I like it," Liz hits him upside the head, "Ow" he gets off the stool and finishes his drink and throws it at a customer hitting him in the head.

He stops what he was doing and he turns around and looks at him, "Hey, punk, what the heck was that for?"

"Because you're an idiot!"

Liz looks a bit ticked off, he is going to cause trouble, the man looks him and charges at him, Liz pushes the soldier to a group of people and she grabs the man and threw him into the wall. Another man saw his friend got beaten by a girl and he picks up a pool stick and tries to swing it at her head, she ducks and spin kick him at the legs, causing him to fall to the ground, she can tell another man is coming up and she leaps in the air and spins kick him in the face, knocking him out cold.

The soldier looks at the two people between him, who were watching the bar fight, "That's my girl" they smiled and began to high five him, meaning like that cool wife he has.

The owner of the bar charges at her and she leaps in the air and lands onto the ground and she backs flips, kicking him hard in the back, he falls to the ground. She went over to the soldier, "Let's go!" The two hurried out of the bar, before more men decides to come and play.

A man standing in the shadows with other men whose eyes are all black and calls someone, "Kane, its me, she is stronger and much faster that we imagine, don't worry, we have plans to get her."

*********

Liz opens the door of the hotel room and throws him onto the bed, "Go to sleep" he gets off the bed, "Go to sleep or I will kick your rear end" he rolls his eyes and went onto the bed and closes his eyes, within a couple of minutes he fell asleep, "finally," as she said softly to herself and she takes a chair and sits down waiting till day comes.

Many hours passed, which resulted the next day, she went over to him and kicks him hard in the shin, he wakes up a bit startled, "Ouch, you didn't have to do that"

"Come on its court duty"

"Fine" he rolls his eyes and they exits the hotel.

*********

Liz got on her bike, then he went on, "Hang on" she starts it and drives off to the courtroom. As they got there, there are a lot of people waiting out, "What the?" She scans the cops to see what it is up, "Bomb scare, great"

"Let's sneak inside, so we don't have to be late, because of the crowd"

"Yeah, your right" she drives over to the back of the courtroom and they entered the back parking lot and she went over to a parking space and parked her car, "Let's go" she turns around and sees the parking lot door is closing, maybe the Feds or swat team is closing it, maybe just for precaution. Liz notices him hurrying over to the main door and she turns around, seeing a van opening up. "Soldier boy, lets get out of here" she turns around and notices him damaging the knob so she can't escape, "What the heck are you doing?"

He grins at her and went over to the group of men, "Sorry, babe, but I'm a bad guy and also I had my end of the deal to get you to them" he enters the van, "Now your going back to Quion, watching you get torture slowly, by me"

"You S.O.B!!" she hissed at him, "I saved your life"

"And I'm grateful, good luck, sweetheart." He closes the van door, while she has to tangle with these idiots, who are the followers of Kane, they are known as the Kanex.

She sees three men, who are built and buffed, coming out of the van, each of them taking out a tazor stick out, its low powered tazor, that only slowly weakens her, "This will be interesting, you should have brought more men, so I can tangle"

"You can come quietly back in the hands of Quion," said the leader.

"Bite me!"

"Or not," he went back over to the van and opens it, he takes out a silent pistol out and aims it at the soldier and fires at him in the head. He watches her, ready to attack his men.

They lunged at her and she throws one of them away from her, but two of them start to tazor her in the side. She sharply side kicks the guy in the gut and she back-flips to went to kick him, but the man tazered her, before she was going to deliver the painful blow to him and she lands sharply onto the ground. "One at a time boys." She quickly wipes the blood off her mouth and she leaps into the air and spins kick the guy in the gut.

Another man tries to tazor her in the stomach and she grabs the tazor, reversing the attack, so he get tazered instead. She flash-like speed in the air and kicks the guy in the face. She lands sharply back on her two feet and she flash-like speed at them, trying to make them dizzy, one of them grabbed her into the nick of time and threw her into a concrete pole and she goes right into the concrete and right into a glass car window. She rolls off the car, a bit injured, she changes into a T-Rex and she steps on one of the men and he is all smush and flat. She growls fiercely and she burst exit of the parking lot metal gate and shift shape back into human form and she tries to run off.

Mike passing the area, since of the bomb scare, he drives to near the back enterance and sees a huge hole, made by a large thing and Liz sees the car and dives into the open window to the passenger side, he turns around and sees Liz hurt, "What happened?"

"Soldier dead, Kanex came.." She quickly blacks out.

*********

Liz opens her eyes and she finds herself in the clock tower and she sees Mike sitting in the chair in front of the bed, "How did you know about the clock tower?"

"Never mind that, you were suppose to protect him, but he is dead, murdered by someone"

"The Kanex team killed him"

"Who?"

"Followers of Kane" she sits up and she felt a sharp pain on the shoulder, "Ow"

"They banged you pretty hard"

"Yeah and they must pay"

"A lot, but they are not going away, because they nearly like critical injured you and we must do something"

"Yeah, as soon, I feel better, enough to kick their rear end!"
