Sorry it took so long to update! I was in Russia for the past month and had no access to the internet! :) Oh; and just to fix any confusion; Steepridge is just the name of the city they are going to. I just made up a name. :)
As soon as Fury left, Iron Fist looked up at the team. "I have a feeling that Fury hates not knowing anything. Obsession in finding something that does not wish to be found could result in dire consequences."
"Not now Fist." Luke rolled his eyes.
"Yeah Danny, I mean what harm could come from catching him and figuring out who he is?"
Raising on eyebrow at Nova, Danny asked. "Isn't your Master a raccoon? Don't you know what happens when you corner a wild animal?"
"He's not a raccoon." Nova muttered, but he did understand.
"What's the big deal?" Spiderman yawned. "He's not causing any harm, so why do we have to catch him?"
"Why do you boys just assume that the angel is a guy?" Ava glowered at them, hands on her hips. "I mean, he could be a she."
"A girl couldn't stay hidden like that! Everyone knows girls are terrible with staying under the radar." Nova scoffed and was instantly hit upside the head by Ava.
Before she could do any more damage to Nova, Danny lay a gentle hand on her shoulder. Turning to Nova, he rolled his eyes. "There are many parts between your mind and your mouth, you should consider using them Nova, and I know I've told you that before." Turning back to Tiger, he smiled at her reassuringly. "We assume that the angel is a guy because in the bible they never mention any female angels. All the ones mentioned are men; such as the angels Gabriel and Michael. But we don't know for sure."
"Thanks Danny." Ava smiled, Danny had always been able to calm her down. "Alright boys, Fury's right, hit the sack. We leave at dawn."
Nodding, they all went to their respective rooms and Peter went home to his Aunt May. Danny lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. Thoughts running rampant through his mind. I don't know why, but I do not want to go after Scorpion. How did he even get all the way to Alaska so quickly? I have a very bad feeling about this, and my feelings are rarely wrong. After what seemed like hours, Danny was able to calm his mind and drift into an uneasy sleep.
Shou Lou, the undying. A great twisting serpent with scars across his chest where his heart had been ripped out, the dragon Danny had defeated to gain the Iron Fist. "I am the symbol of your power, I am the undying one." The dragon hissed. "I am immortal, but you are not. Do not go on your mission. For five will fight, but four will return."
Sitting upright, Danny hugged his arms around himself, panting. "It was only a dream." He whispered, "Only a dream."
Unable to go back to sleep after his nightmare, Danny slipped quietly out of his room and into their kitchen. Opening the fridge, he began rifling around, looking for the soy milk.
"Whatcha doing?" The groggy voice startling him, Danny jumped and dropped the bottle of soy milk on the ground.
"Ava, what are you doing up?"
"Couldn't sleep, too excited. You?"
Danny quickly debated with himself what he should tell her, finally settling on the truth. "Nightmares." He sighed.
Smiling at him sadly, Ava walked around the counter and hugged him. "Thanks for telling me the truth. You don't tell us personal things very often, it means a lot that you would trust me enough to tell me." She ran her hand along the giant scar shaped like a dragon which curled across his chest. He had gotten the scar when fighting the dragon Shou Lou for the power of the iron fist.
"Whatever you dreamt about, it wasn't real. Don't worry, everything will be fine. The five of us together can defeat anything."
