Your Hero
"It will be okay Quinn" Rachel squeezed her shoulder as she walked past her "I need to go change my shirt" she needed to change into thinner clothing that was compatible with her suit and arc reactor.
Quinn felt helpless as Rachel wandered off, she was barely left alone for a few seconds when the garage door opened and Santana's car shot through the opening. She didn't bother parking against the wall with the other two cars, instead she just screeched to a violent halt right by the door.
The Latina hopped out the car and ran across the floor yelling "Where the hell is Rachel?"
Brittany was slower, as if she already knew where Rachel was and could feel the tension already in the huge room
"She went to change" Quinn casually waved toward the living quarters. She was too busy feeling disappointed in herself to show any emotion.
"Rachel!" well that shook Quinn back to life
"Santana" she scolded "You don't need to shout she'll be back in a minute" she explained "She wanted to change her shirt before she gets into the suit" she added finally
"She's suiting up" Santana asked, much calmer than before as she looked over to the far end of the floor, waiting for Rachel to show
"Yeah" Quinn let out a steadying breath and waited a few seconds for Brittany to join them before she explained "Fairchild picked up on some suspicious calls, 2 teens were kidnapped earlier today. It was definitely Purifiers, but that's not the worst of it, the vague description of the teens the witnesses gave fit Mike and Tina"
Brittany gasped while Santana's eyes widened
"You filled them in, good" Rachel breathed as she jogged back toward the group. She stopped not far from Quinn and opened up the top of one of the work benches and pulled a long box out "We're gonna get them back, do you think you're ready Britt"
"Yeah" she said quickly. Anything for her friends.
Santana had to blink herself back to reality "wait what" she scoffed "Like I'm letting Britt fight anyone. Nope, no way it aint happening"
"San, you might be my girlfriend but you're not the boss of me. If I don't go then you don't go" The taller blonde told her girlfriend adamantly.
Is that the main reason Rachel didn't want Quinn to go, because she cared for her safety. Or did she just not what Quinn in the way. Quinn wondered while the other couple argued out loud.
"Guys, guys calm down" Rachel yelled as she walked towards the verbal fire
"I don't want you hurt Britt, I've got Fire what have you got?"
"Don't worry about me San, I took down those guys who had me tied up"
Oh sweet. Quinn thought to herself sarcastically, they were now arguing over who was the better at killing people.
"Guys" Rachel managed to yell louder "We need to get moving"
"Yeah we do" finally Santana was agreeing with someone "I'm gonna burn all those sons of bitches for torching my house" she ground out through clenched teeth
"Santana?" Rachel furrowed her brow with worry "What do you mean?"
"We got to mine and the house was on fire, its wrecked, I don't know what the hell I'm going to tell my parents whenever they get back from where ever the hell they are but I'm gonna kill the mother fuckers-"
"Whoa, San calm down, you're alight" Rachel told her as she instinctually stepped back, while putting her free arm across Quinn and gently guiding her back too
"Sorry" Santana actually muttered as she withdrew the flames from her hands "What's in the box?" she nodded to the long item in Rachel's right arm
"Well" she stepped round Quinn and laid the box out on the desktop "Like you said Santana, you've got fire what has Brittany got?" she opened up the box to reveal two Katana, more recognisably none as samurai swords "These are for you Britt"
"Where the hell did you get these?" Of course Santana opened her mouth before anyone else could.
"I made them" she said like it was the simplest thing in the world
"Fucking hell Berry, how do you do it?" it was a rhetorical question, at least Rachel hoped it was as she wasn't in the mood to explain
"Is that why you disappeared all those nights after the past couple of weeks?" Rachel froze when she heard Quinn's voice sounding so timid behind her
Rachel slowly turned back to her girlfriend "You knew I wasn't there?"
"Yeah, I was worried" Quinn admitted
"Why didn't you say anything?" Rachel's shoulders dropped with guilt
"Because you're... you get distant in your work sometimes and I didn't want to come between you and that" she murmured lowly. Santana and Brittany were completely forgotten, but they were still there, watching while pretending not to.
"Oh Quinn" Rachel sighed "I didn't mean to keep this behind your back, I just..." she arranged the words in her head, her point was that she was protecting Quinn, but really she wasn't sure why "I don't know how you feel about all this, if you're comfortable with everything yet"
"Right" Quinn nodded and avoided eye contact with her girlfriend "You guys should, you know, get ready" she backed away and dropped herself onto the sofa behind her. So it had been her own fault, is that what Rachel meant. She had this new life thrown at her a few weeks ago and apart from reading up on all she could about her family and her friends family she hadn't done much else. She'd resisted the hammer that still sat in the corner of her room, fearful of what might happen if she wielded it again. Was she ready?
She could see Rachel out the corner of her still watching her
"Rach, you made these for me?" They heard Brittany ask, disturbing their awkward silence
Rachel inhaled a sharp breath before turning suddenly to the other blonde "Yeah, there's a double sheath in their too, that sits across your back" she'd already given Brittany an outfit identical to Santana's a couple of days ago.
"We should get ready then" Santana encouraged as she cautiously looked between the silent blonde on the sofa and the short brunette
"Yeah, you guys suit up. Fairchild do you have a location?"
"Yes Miss, I'm downloading the address to where they took both teenagers and a third to the Iron Girl Suit and Miss Santana's cell phone"
"They kidnapped another one?"
"I'm afraid so Miss"
"Okay" Rachel sighed as she started to try and formulate some kind of plan. All she could see was Quinn though, sat their un moving.
Rachel bent down to kiss Quinn gently on the corner of the blonde's lips, as she pulled away Quinn leaned up and reconnected their lips, for real this time. She kissed her, forcefully, as if she was reminding her to come back in one piece
"Be careful" she whispered as she pulled away
"I will" she whispered back.
In a flurry of movement Santana and Brittany were both changed and ready to go. Rachel had been ready in seconds and Brittany had taken a moment to get used to the swords
"Is that why you made me watch Kill Bill" Brittany asked with that usual simplicity in her voice
"Yeah Britt. Now lets go, I'll fly above, Santana you follow in your car with Brittany" she looked back at Quinn who still hadn't moved from her spot "We won't be long" she hated how that sounded like she was going out shopping or something "See you later"
Quinn actually looked to her as she nodded to show she'd heard. The corner of her mouth turned up in a worried half smile. Rachel didn't know what else to do so she just lowered the face shield and left.
Quinn watched them, Rachel first as she walked out of the garage door and Santana as she turned her car round in a giant circle before zooming out the door too. And then silence.
After a moment Quinn thought she heard something on the baby monitor, she quickly got up and grabbed it off the desk so she could hear it better... no there was no sound, maybe Beth had stirred for just a moment but she was peaceful again now.
Quinn dropped onto the desk chair with a heavy sigh. She lazily swivelled the chair down to look a the screen, the computer had been left unlocked. She curiously scanned her eyes over the shortcut files on the desktop. The files Agent Hill had uploaded onto the computer were still sat there. She'd looked through them all already, but she wanted to look again. Well it wasn't like she had anything better to do right now. Beth didn't need her and her friends and girlfriend didn't need her.
She clicked on one of the files and scrolled through the pages on the screen. They were full of information, things she'd read over and over again and pictures, that she'd often glanced at.
Many of the photographs were amateur, taken by people in a moment of intrigue and panic. They must have been crazy to be taking photos in a moment lie that, with the world falling down around them. But here they were, the photos they'd taken. Photos and even recordings of the man, no, the God who was apparently her father.
He stood tall, very tall, and strong. But he made it look natural, like that was what he was born to do, to fight a scary alien race and to protect people.
"Sorry Beth" Quinn whispered to herself before rushing away, toward the living quarters.
...
"Damn it Puck, answer your Cell" there was no hope it just kept ringing, that was the 6th time she'd tried. She had Beth in her holdall slung over the arm, dangling from her bent arm, the phone in her hand held to her ear. In her other hand the hammer, Mjölnira. "For god sake Puck the one time I'm relying on you" she grumbled to herself. She abandoned the phone as she got to her car, letting the hammer fall to the ground as she strapped Beth inside.
"Fairchild, send that address to my cell phone please"
"Of course Miss"
She then picked up the hammer again and opened the driver's side door, she threw her phone onto the passenger seat and put the hammer in the foot well before getting in herself. She sped out of the warehouse, Fairchild opening the door for her, and out across the junk yard to her first destination. She could only think of one other person that she might be able to rely on right now, it was a long shot but she needed their help.
...
"Quinn, what's up?" Mercedes asked as she answered the door to the girl who used to live at this house
"Hi Cedes' I'm really sorry but it's kinda an emergency" she sort of offered Beth forward as she cringed "could you look after Beth for like an hour"
"Um, Kurt and I were actually..." as she trailed off the boy himself appeared next to her in the door way
"Please, I really need someone to just keep an eye on her just for an hour, I need to- I need to go somewhere" it's not like she could explain the truth right now, she'd just have to hope they'd help
"Um, well" the female diva turned to the male one, he wanted to say no as much as she did but Quinn looked desperate, as if someone's life depended on it
"I'll pay you" she added "$30" she felt sick haggling for someone to look after her daughter but hse was desperate
"$30 an hour" Kurt bargained
"Deal"
...
Mike relied on his feet to hold him up as he was continuously shoved and sometimes dragged along god knows were. He had handcuffs tightly on his wrists and a black sack over his head. If he didn't know any better, he would have thought his captors had watched far too many movies.
But he did know, he knew he was a mutant and he knew one day the purifiers might try to get him. and no matter how fast he ran they could get him. He wasn't sure what he was going to do right now, he just begged that Tina was okay.
He knew he was being led into a new room now, they'd already helped him struggled blindly up some stairs and down a winding corridor, now through a door way. He only guessed the last part when his shoulder collided with the door frame.
"Sit down" Mike wasn't sure why they told him to sit down when they forced him to by knocking his feet out from under him anyway. He heard a door shut and the little amount of light he could detect fade.
"Someone else there?" he flinched when he heard the timid voice next to him
"Tina" he gasped "They got you too?"
"Yeah" he suddenly felt a pair of hands on his arm, then trail up to his head. The black sack was removed and his eyes adjusted to the darkness. He was just about to make out Tina's outline next to him "sorry, I didn't even have a chance to get away they just grabbed me"
"Don't be sorry, it's not your fault"
A groan from the other side of the room let them know they weren't alone "Ow, shit" they heard shuffling as the other person sat up "Oh shit, damn handcuffs. If I ever get free I'm gonna kill them all" the voice grunted
"Puck?" Mike asked when he finally realised who's voice that was
"Who's there?"
"It's Mike, and Tina" he added for his girlfriend
"They got you too?" he asked rhetorically "I didn't know you two had mutations"
"You know what's happening?" Tina asked surprised. It wasn't often that teen mutants were aware of the main threats and their working in this world, or even aware of their powers and the fact it was called a mutation.
"My Mom's been trying to get me into that school in New York for a couple of years. I keep not showing up to meet the principal at my house. I think my Mom's been scared since the day I ripped my bedroom door of my hinges" he explained with a slight exhaled laugh at the end
"So your mutation, its..." Mike trailed off leaving Puck to fill in the blanks before the asian teen could assume, in case he was wrong
"Super strength, yeah" he let out a strained breath "Damn I can't break these cuffs
"None of us can use out abilities while we're wearing them" Tina explained "They send little electric pulses through our body's, its targeting the mutation and almost separates it from us. Like in our brains so we can't connect with the part that controls our mutation"
"Geez, you know a lot"
"It's best to know our enemies" it was like they could hear the defensive shrug in Tina's voice
"So what you two in for?" Puck felt he might as well ask
"Super speed" Mike answered
"I can turn invisible" Tina told him
"Cool" he muttered "Got any idea how we're gonna get out of here?"
"Um..." Tina and Mike hummed together in thought
A sudden slam against the door to the small room made them all flinch. There was more commotion outside, with people shouting and what sounded like gun fire.
...
Quinn screeched her car to a halt in front of the address Fairchild had given her. The slight remoteness of the building and the size of it, as well as the open door and the scary noises coming from inside, let her know she was in the right place.
She grabbed Mjölnira and stepped out of the car. She stood on the front lawn and just like she had in her dream that had turned out to not be a dream she raised the hammer with the one sided bladed head above her head and simply did what felt natural.
In a millisecond lightning was striking the hammer, she felt the electricity run through her instrument of destruction and through her body. She could feel the leather and metal armour layer over her body, the cape drape down her back and the silver metal hoop with the silver metal wings either side settle onto her head.
With her power, weapon and armour she bolted forward, marching toward the open front door where she could already smell burning from within. As soon as she stepped inside I cloaked purifier charged at her, she simply knocked him away, with Mjölnira using minimum strength.
The body flew back narrowly missing a girl in a steel suit. Iron Girl sharply turned, repulsors raised, but when she saw who stood in the door way she dropped her hands
"Quinn?" she rushed over "What the hell are you doing here?"
"This is where I'm supposed to be right?" she smiled, then it dropped as reality kicked in again "Where are Blaze and wolf" she smirked slight, realising now was good as time as any to use their alter ego names
"I sent them to get the ones the Purifiers captured, I'm defending down here, this is where the weapons are" As Rachel explained Quinn saw a purifier hiding in one of the rooms down a long corridor throw a grenade their way. She shoved Rachel out of the way and with incredible precision she tapped the grenade with the hammer, sending it back down the hallway. It hit the floor before bouncing into one of the rooms.
A small scream was heard before the explosion. Quinn, or was it Thora now, looked to Rachel "Lets clear this place then"
"I'll take the basement" Rachel nodded. She was smiling inside but the suit hid that obviously.
That left Quinn with the corridor. She watched Rachel leave before fearlessly starting down the hallway heading into god knows what.
.
As she stepped into one of the rooms she found a purifier standing on the far side of the room, their hood up as htey looked out of the window
"We wondered if you'd show your face" he said lowly and immediately Quinn recognised his voice. He slowly turned, discretely keeping his hand behind his back, hiding the not normal gun from his unwanted guest "Nice Hammer, did you buy that at the costume shop with your cape" he smirked
"St James" Quinn scoffed in disbelief "You're part of this"
"I got promoted when you girlfriend killed your father" well at least he got the girlfriend part right "We didn't think you'd show, when your three friends did and you weren't with them"
"I was running late" she said cool-ly
He chuckled sinisterly, and she wasn't sure what for reason he'd done so. If it was to make her feel uneasy, it was working "Thora, daughter of some alien monstrosity. There is only one god"
"You know everything then" she gripped the hemmer a little tighter, readying herself for his attack.
"Oh don't worry Quinn Fabray, we've been watching you closely. Maybe its a good thing your father didn't find out what you really are, not a mutant but something completely different" this guy sure like the sound of his own voice, which wasn't surprising "You shouldn't speak of any of these things in public-"
"He wasn't my father" she cut in before he could blather on about things she didn't
"How can you say that, he's the man who raised you?"
"I lost my respect for him years ago"
"And now Rachel Berry's your girlfriend" he laughed "she's not a bad kisser right? How far did she let you get?"
Quinn didn't answer, she knew he was just trying to get to her, to weaken her before he could strike. She knew he wasn't stupid, he must have known how dangerous she was, that's why he was stalling
"She's not the best I've had" he smirked "But she was a good enough fuck"
Quinn knew he was lying and now he was being vulgar about her Rachel. There was no need for that
Words had no use here either, not for Quinn, not when she had the weight of Mjölnira in her right hand. And anger flowing through her veins. She swung the hammer round and brought it up to strike the very surprised young purifier right between the legs, crushing what very little he had there.
He let out a short strangled yelp as he was sent upward, his head broke through the ceiling. His body stopped as his shoulders just broke through the plaster board too and then dropped back down to the floor in a heap, dead.
"That was too easy" Quinn whispered to herself. It was too easy to just take a life like that. But like adrenaline that readied you for fight or flight, there was something running though her veins that told her that kill was okay, justified.
She raised the hammer again and bought it down on his head sharply, just to ensure he was dead. Quinn didn't want anything else coming back to screw with them.
"Quinn" the Goddess heard behind her "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Iron Girl" she turned away from the body, hoping her own was blocking Rachel's line of sight.
"Okay, Wolf and Blaze have got Tina and Mike... Puck was with them too" Quinn's eyes widened until Rachel said "They're all okay, S and B are going to drive them back to the base"
"I have to get Beth" she added suddenly
"Where did you leave her?"
"With Mercedes and Kurt" she bit her lip with worry "I didn't have any other choice"
"It's okay" Rachel reassured her "I'll go with you if you want"
"No, you need to get back to the base, prepare for the others to arrive" it was strange talking to the mask that Rachel wore, and nowhere near as comforting. They could talk later though
"Okay, you be careful" Quinn told her before they went back into action, and started going their separate ways.
Quinn noticed Puck looking at her from the back of Santana's car. His eyes widened when he realised exactly who he was looking at. She'd have to explain later when she had Beth and was back at the base... Puck also had some explaining to do
...
Quinn pulled into the garage to find only Santana and Brittany, still in their 'uniforms' waiting. She saw that Rachel's car wasn't there but it didn't really register in her head that it wasn't there.
"Hey" she called when she got out, stopping briefly to grab Beth from the back seat, still in her holdall "Where is everyone?" she looked around to make sure she wasn't missing anything
Santana smirked at her before saying "Nice tiara"
"Whatever" she sighed "where the hell is everyone?" she tried again
"Tina, Mike and Puck went to bed. Rachel gave them rooms to stay in. The she said she was going back to her house, she wanted some of her clothes that were still there" Santana shrugged
Quinn wouldn't admit that she was disappointed that Rachel wasn't here, she just wanted to talk, explain why she'd shown up, ask Rachel if she was okay with that and then tell Rachel. She then noticed that Santana was still looking her up and down "What?" she snapped
"How exactly did you get Beth back from the two divas dressed like that?" she chuckled
"San leave Q alone, I think she looks cool" Brittany would think that. It didn't stop Santana though
"Seriously" she laughed again "What did they say?"
"Nothing" Quinn shrugged "I just told them I had to go into work"
"And you're a what... black smith now? Shakespearian actor?" Another mocking laugh from Santana, inducing another eye roll and sigh from an armour clad Quinn
"No... I didn't really elaborate" she then muttered the next part shyly "I may have let them believe there's a themed restaurant round here somewhere"
Santana still heard her and just cackled again, Brittany giggled that time too
"Shouldn't Rachel be back by now" Quinn huffed hoping to take the attention off herself
"I dunno" Santana just shrugged "Look, I'm tired and there's going to be a lot of explaining when those guys wake up, on both sides"
"What do you mean?" Quinn furrowed her brow. Brittany wasn't sure what she was getting at
"When we broke those guys out if that room they were only half surprised to see us, and... I dunno..." Santana trailed off with a confused expression all over her face
Brittany suddenly caught on "Oh you mean like, they weren't worried or surprised that they were there. They weren't scared" she added
"Exactly" Santana nodded
Quinn looked over to the windows, wondering what room they'd put their latest guests in "I'm going to put Beth in her crib, will you two keep track of the baby monitor in case she stirs?"
"Yeah... but why?" Santana asked
"I'm not comfortable, I need to go find Rachel, make sure she's okay" she couldn't settle until Rachel was back and she really hated waiting.
...
Rachel had a bag packed with all the clothes she had left in the Berry house... well the ones she desired to ever wear again. She was about two steps away from the basement door when a high pitched sound whirred right through her head. She dropped the bag before she dropped to the floor, her back propped up by the wall.
She tried so hard but she couldn't move, only breathe. She could feel her blood vessels constricting under her skin. A pair of legs stepped in front of her. The person then crouched down to look into her paralysed eyes.
He switched of the device he held in his hand and then removed ear plugs from each of his ears "Nice little toy right, we stole it from your daddy's company" he said part of that mockingly "It was dismissed as its an unfair weapon, against human rights... they never said against mutant rights" he added evilly "Technically you're not one of those either... but you are with them"
"You'll be able to move again in a few minutes, unfortunately for you, that will be too late and you'll be dead by then" Leroy told her. He looked rough, really rough, like he hadn't been able to sleep for a number of weeks. Rachel felt regret and hate. She should have finished him, now he was going to kill her
"You ruined my life" he ground out through clenched teeth "you couldn't just be the perfect little daughter you already were. I took you in and this is how you repay me?" he scoffed "Hiram left me, because of you, you couldn't just leave well enough alone" he spat
If Rachel had been able to speak she would have been arguing back, but this time she really couldn't move. Not like in her suit before, when that was frozen she was just trapped inside the steel skin. This time she was paralysed, all she could do was think.
"You took everything I wanted, from me" She still wore the shirt she'd worn under her suit, it had a hole in it for the arc reactor so the shirt didn't come between the metal skin and the power source. "I have to work for everything now, and you will earn me my trophy, I will work my way to the top again quickly" he tapped her arc reactor "This is my trophy, I take this to the purifiers and it can do wonders to advance our technology, I'll be a hero... for exterminating you" he spat again as he reached for the reactor.
He pulled it out of its socket in her chest "And after all you already took from me, you went to the only place I had left and with your little friends you tear that. That alien killed the newly elected leader, St James" wait, Jesse was dead? "And then you're little friend killed Azimio Jr after killing his father" he detached the red wire first, otherwise he could kill the reactor "And then you, killing Azimio. They may have been young but they were proving themselves" and then the blue wire was un hooked
"Thanks for this" he sneered with an evil grin on his face... and a distance in his eyes. She'd never imagined she'd see him like this, so broken and desperate... and vengeful
He heard one strained word from her mouth as the sonic paralysation started to wear off "Bastard"
He lent in close, leaving the arc reactor on the floor "And you're dead" he said so lowly through clenched teeth, as he looked right into her eyes
"No you are" was the last thing he heard before electricity fried him. He was dead before he hit the far wall across the room. Quinn still dressed as Thora rushed forward, dropping Mjölnira next to Rachel as she crouched down in front of her the same way Leroy just had
"Quinn" Rachel's voice was strained as she was barely able to move her mouth
The fearless Quinn from a moment ago was gone "Oh Rach, what do I do, what do I do?" she asked frantically
"You need to get the wires" The fading Brunette breathed the tiny amount of instruction
"What wires?" Quinn was shaking, trembling, suddenly very unsure of herself
"You need to reconnect the arc reactor, reach inside and find two wires" Rachel put everything she had into talking, it was going to save her life
Quinn looked down at the hole in her girlfriends chest "I-I can't" she hesitated
"Quinn" Rachel breathed, still unable to move much but just about speak "My heart is slowing, its going to stop if you don't reconnect it, please" she sounded so calm but that was because she could still barely move
She nodded jittery "okay" she wiped a tear that had escaped from the corner of her eye before reaching out and cautiously threading her narrowed hand into the hole in Rachel's chest
"Careful" Rachel whispered "They're just inside"
Quinn nodded as she tried to stop her hand from shaking. She grimaced when she felt a cool goo hit her hand "Eww" she tried to keep that to herself but it kind of slipped out. She then gasped as her hand found what she was looking for "I got it"
"Now attach them, quick, blue then red" Rachel breathed, suddenly very tired
Again Quinn nodded frantically, calmer this time as the scariest part, reaching into Rachel's chest, was over. She found the wires and plugged them back into their colour coded counter parts in the actual arc reactor.
As soon as she did Rachel gasped as if she felt her heart picking up rhythm again, and as the blood started moving round her body at a better rate she felt the paralysation fade.
Quinn just smiled wide with relief. When Rachel tried to stand she was up first to help her. Noticing Rachel was still unsteady on her feet she picked her up, bridal style
"Quinn" Rachel laughed "Put me down"
"No way, you nearly died" she said wide eyed, but still with a smile tugging at her lips "I'll carry you to my car, and get you home" she stopped in the open door way to lean over and press a gentle and caring kiss to Rachel's lips, surprising the exhausted girl before continuing onto her car. When they got to the car she reached out with her right hand, back toward the house, calling her hammer. Mjölnira flew from the door way straight towards her, handle first. She effortlessly caught the weapon as it found her hand. Now they could leave
...
When they got back Rachel insisted on walking back to their room. Quinn insisted on staying glued to her side just in case. They walked over to the living quarters in silence. When they got to Quinn's room Quinn pushed the door open silently only to find not only Beth asleep on her bed and not in her crib where Quinn had left her. But they also found Puck curled up asleep on the same bed next to his daughter.
"Guess we're going to my room then?" Rachel whispered
"Let me get my pyjamas" Quinn whispered back
"I'll be okay to get my room from here" Rachel told her as she cautiously peeled herself away from her girlfriend. Quinn watched Rachel before sneaking into her own room before sneaking into her own to get her clothes.
Once she'd changed in the bathroom she stopped by San and Britts room and grabbed the baby monitor so she could switch it off. She could have the night off if Puck was in the same room as Beth. She then went to Rachel's room where her girlfriend had already collapsed onto the middle of the bed. She smiled to herself as she wandered closer, she carefully pulled the bed sheet out from under Rachel then draped it back over herself and the brunette as she climbed into bed next to her.
Rachel woke for a moment just to wrap her arms round Quinn and pull her close, Quinn let out a playful squeak of surprise at how easily Rachel was able to move her across the bed. She wrapped her arms around Rachel too, never wanting to let go.
Quinn had almost lost Rachel tonight, and she'd saved her. Quinn realised that maybe she was strong enough for both of them. That had been an initial fear; Rachel had the brains and that metal suit to protect them. Maybe tonight she had proven to herself at least that she could be there for Rachel too, that they could be equals in this relationship
"Quinn" Rachel murmured against her collar bone
"Yeah Rach?" she hummed back lightly
"I love you" she muttered sleepily before drifting off again.
Quinn wasn't sure Rachel would hear it but she wanted to say it too because it was true "I love you too Rach" she whispered
...
In a Dark corner across several galaxies Loki was enraged and scared, not that he'd admit the second one. His worst fear had come to life, Thora had been awakened. He knew that of sure now, he'd seen it through Leroy's eyes.
That's all he wanted of the Berry Purifier, not to control him, just to see what he could see. That ability to see had faded with Leroy's life
"Loki" a crackly voice boomed from behind him. When the Asgardian turned to the Chitauri chief the alien saw the fear burning in his eyes "What have you seen?"
Loki shook the uncertainty away "Thora has been awakened" he said lowly
"We risked a lot freeing you" the Chitauri spat "We cannot accept another failure like last time"
"We will not fail" the Asgardian snapped "We're dealing with mere children this time" Nothing would stop him this time, nothing would stop him from capturing Thora, the daughter of Thor and Sif, with the earth girl name; Quinn.
He would succeed, he would capture her and bring her back to Asgard where he could finally end this and kill her.
Let us know what you think...
Well its officially the 25th here so: Proper Crimbo... unless you don't celebrate it in which case, happy day off... and if its not a day off in your country then happy Tuesday... have a good day whatever :)
