The Avengers: Flames Of A Phoenix
Two
"Hello?" A female's voice answered
"Yeah, it's me. You at the house?" Charlotte questioned, keeping her tone casual
"Yeah, why?" The voice sounded suspicious
"We have guests. I'll explain the details later." Charlotte cut the Line, walking back to the group she told them to follow her if they wanted a place to stay for the night
"Yeah sure. Haven't been there in ages." Tony laughed, throwing an arm over her shoulder
"If you know what's good for you you'll keep your mouth shut." Charlotte seethed, getting on her new motorcycle, courtesy of Tony. She sped off with a laugh, knowing that the others would have to put up with Tony's complaining. Focusing her thoughts she tried to think of how she could break the news to her. Dragon had been her housemate since she bought her house. Bringing a bunch of people she had never met wasn't really the best idea. Snapping out of her daze she noticed she had covered quite a distance now out of the city and heading toward the outskirt that had not been destroyed by Loki's army. Shutting off the motorcycle, she walked into the house. Dumping her boots by the door she looked around toward the kitchen, where she heard said housemate shuffling around.
"Hey, are you a burglar or my housemate?" Charlotte called out, smiling as she felt a familiar presence behind her.
"If I was a Burglar, you would probably be unconscious by now." Dragon replied. Turning around Charlotte saw a striking young woman with sapphire blue eyes and curly light brown hair. Looking a few years younger than Charlotte, she was more mature in her outlook on life than her age
"That's not fair. You always warp before I can check anyway." Charlotte mock pouted, before erupting into laughter with Dragon, "Lee, we have guests."
"And why is that?" Dragon asked with curiosity, walking with Charlotte
"Cause I kind of destroyed half of the city with Stark and his new 'friends'" Charlotte flopped on her bed, sighing as she taking the smell of her own purple bed covers, not the sterile, white sheets in the helicarrier. Giggling at her own thoughts she struggled to talk until Lee asked her what the problem was.
"Go… Get the…the guest rooms… ready, my servant," Charlotte wheezed out between laughs. Hearing an annoyed huff from her Charlotte lifted her hands in surrender. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Besides you'll need help." Heaving herself up and off the bed she dragged Dragon through the Living room to the guest bedrooms. Half an hour later and a few pillow fights, they sat in the middle of the last guest room.
"So, is Akira showing up any time soon?" Charlotte looked up to see the mischievous face of tony stark.
"Depends on whether she is in the country or not." Charlotte shrugged, getting up and pulling Tony into a headlock in a sisterly way, not violently "Besides, why do you want to know, Pervy old man." Charlotte teased knowing exactly why
"Be…because I want … to give…her…a present." Tony wheezed out as charlotte dumped him on the ground.
"Sure, whatever. Just put it in the garage," Walking out of the room she found Steve and Bruce standing awkwardly in the living room. Noting that Dragon had disappeared, she sighed and walked to her room.
"Dragon. Come out here, I need the number for AK." She tried to coax her out, only to be let down by a piece of paper with a number on it slide from under the door. Shaking her head and smiling she picked it up and opened her phone. Walking out the front door she dialled the number, as expected the receiver picked up on the third ring
"What." It wasn't a question, more like a demand
"Where are you?" Charlotte played innocent, annoying the receiver more so than usual
"Out… I'm Busy. This better be good." The Voice was more agitated this time.
"Well, I expect to you to be home no later than midnight. And I don't care where you are. We have guests and I expect you to behave like a civilised person." Charlotte said, the tone in her voice daring anyone to argue. She lowered her voice, only slightly "And you will not argue with my rules." Charlotte disconnected the phone. Turning she walked back inside only to find four guilty faces staring at her.
"You were listening then." It wasn't really a question, but Dragon answered anyway.
"Well, I was curious. Why did you want her to come home? Last time that happened…" Dragon trailed off, remembering why they didn't mention Akira to anyone. Akira had been ten at the time she met Charlotte, she had run away from home in hopes of escaping her abusive parents. Charlotte however was mentally unstable, trying to deal with her duty of protecting Fenrir and dealing with the demon of her past by conjuring a second soul into her head. She wasn't really in control of her actions, and she was starting to develop a migraine. She really only happened to stumble across Akira, with her purple flecked grey eyes filled with tears and her waist length hair, Charlotte acted on instinct, hugging her she promised the only thing she could, To teach her how to get revenge on those who looked down on her.
"What's your name, kid?" Charlotte grinned
"Kaikana." She answered
"Nah, that's not your real name. What's your real name?" Charlotte laughed
"Ah, A…Akira. Akira Ryuzaki, I guess." Akira smiled
"Great, well come on I know someone that can help us," Charlotte jogged off; turning often to make sure she didn't fall behind. "Hey, come on. You'll never get anywhere walking, you have to run!" 12-year-old Charlotte exclaimed, grabbing her hand and dragging her along. They ran for a short time, standing huffing outside a large building. Knocking on the door, a 15 year old male opened the door.
"Tony! Look I found a friend. Can she stay?" Charlotte hugged the boy, pleading.
"Sure, just help her wash up." Tony let them in, a smirk tugging at his mouth. They lived there for a few years eventually moving into an older Mansion, Tony had deemed to unfuturistic. On the way they acquired Lee, a Dragon with origins to Asgard, not unlike Charlotte. Renovating the Mansion to their needs and becoming a somewhat dysfunctional family they adopted a family role. Charlotte hated it but she for some reason became the mother, Akira the teenager who believed she knew everything and Lee, the quiet achiever, doing the maintenance. They really had no idea why they were together but it worked mostly.
Deciding there was no other option she sighed and smiled.
"I guess you want to put your stuff away now before all hell breaks loose." She received questioning stares but dismissed them. "I got vodka." Was her only answer. Showing them there rooms she told them to make themselves at home and left, pulling Dragon with her. There were quite a few things she needed to prepare.
"Dragon, please lock all entrances to the Armoury, and make sure that Akira's room is prepared." She ordered looking around to make sure no one heard she added quietly, "And pray to god she behaves." Walking to the kitchen charlotte made the split second decision to order fast food; after all she had helped save the world from Loki. Hearing the door slam, she rolled her eyes and sighed, this would be interesting.
"Charlotte!" An angered voice yelled from the lobby.
"What!?" An equally annoyed Charlotte yelled back entering the room
"Outside now. You need to learn what space is." Akira growled Charlotte smirked, predator instincts kicking in. stepping outside behind Akira she slid around her, throwing her across the front lawn.
"Bitch!" Akira growled
"Wanna-be assassin." Charlotte played along with her game
"E.T." Akira knew she pushed Charlotte over the fine line she was dancing on. Suddenly she was behind Akira, flipping and turning, countering every blow Akira tried to land, tripping her, Charlotte leaned down and straddled Akira, leaning down to her ear with a smirk.
"You're dead. However since you're a newbie to my 'Game' the first ten times you 'die' will be warnings, but the eleventh time, you really will be dead." With that hanging in the air Akira flipped their positions, sneering.
"Death number one." Charlotte kicked her in the stomach, causing her to cough up blood. Charlotte didn't realise that Akira had also landed a hit, wiping the blood away from the corner of her mouth she swore loudly.
"Screw it, why the hell do you always make my life so difficult. I feed you, I let you live here, and I pay the bills. Get the fuck down from your high horse and look at yourself, fighting your own sister." Charlotte couldn't stand it, she knew she was being a bitch but if that's all it took to get her to see he was arrogant, then so be it.
"Hole nine heaven's door" Charlotte recited the only spell Loki taught her to neutralise the current battle field. Akira finally noticed that there was a small crowd in the front door way, she laughed, drawing her hidden gun
"Obtener jodido, perra estúpida. No me puedes dejar de matar a quien quiero" She spoke in Spanish, earning a frown from Charlotte. Shooting toward the group more specifically the man with blond hair. Charlotte gasped, swore and used her most hated defence with the elements
"Grand Fang Fire Bird," Holding her hand toward the group and stopping the bullet. Bowing her head she said quietly "You do not know what you have started, Child." Looking up her eyes were a deep violet and her wings had resurfaced, as the ultimate Phoenix. Spreading her wings toward Akira she shredded her clothes and skin, allowing the blood to mix with the grass. Walking up to her she scowled as she struggled to get up.
"Disgusting, Get up. Go on, I dare you. Get up Bitch." Charlotte was past the point of Phoenix, she was purely the elements combined with the lethal force of Fenrir's rage, and No one could stop her at this point in the transformation. Pulling herself up, charlotte frowned; this was the only way Akira would learn.
"Please don't. Just accept that I care about you enough to teach you that sometimes staying down is best."
"No, I will not accept defeat because years ago I was taught by the fiercest Assassin there was. She went by the Name of Phoenix." Akira spat blood staining her lips. Charlotte looked away, maybe she had been distant in the past year, shaking her head and sighing she knelt down and hugged her tightly, so as to not to let her gain an upper hand.
"I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." She unconsciously wrapped her black wings around the two of them. "I didn't even realise I changed, One of the targets was… was your brother. I guess I didn't want you to hate me. But that plan went to shit." Charlotte smiled, a genuine smile, not her usual smirk. Akira wrapped her arms around her neck, whimpering slightly as she accepted the information. Crying with and for each other, they laughed at the same time at the utter absurdity of their situation.
"Can I go get cleaned up, or are you going to suffocate me with hugs?" Akira asked, dreading the answer slightly. Charlotte just laughed and hugged her tighter; there was no way that anyone was going to take her happiness away from her, ever. Standing up she helped Akira limp to the front door. Letting her leave to go to her room she decided she needed to shower as well. Heading to her room she was pulled from behind into a light kiss, smiling she pulled away.
"Dragon will show you the house, I need to change and actually wear clothes that aren't revealing all my attributes," Charlotte said, blushing at the thought that everyone could probably see everything, literally. Finishing her shower quickly, she pondered on how she was going to tell her two housemates about him. Judging by the shooting incident earlier Akira already knew. Changing into a pair of faded gym pants and a black tank top, she made her way to the living room, nodding in recognition she got her half-empty vodka bottle and a full bottle from the kitchen counter, smirking she sat down and swallowed the remanets, motioning for them to form a circle. Spinning the bottle it landed on Tony, giggling she pointed to the microphones.
"There, choose a song, take a swig, and sing." Charlotte offered the bottle, Tony hesitated but took it anyway, turning the console on and choosing a random song, he took a long mouthful of the vodka, wincing slightly. Passing the bottle back he picked up a microphone and waited for the song to load.
"Why do I have the feeling this is very, very bad," tony said, earning a shrug from Charlotte.
Dirty mind, dirty mind, d-d-d-d-dirty mind
Dirty mind, dirty mind, d-d-d-d-dirty mind
She wants me at the party, she wants me at the mall
She wants me in the bathroom stall
She wants me at the party, she wants me at the mall
She wants me in the bathroom stall
Hey you, I know what you gonna do
I wanna be the person that you do it to
Hey you, I wanna be the person you do, you do, you do, you do
Charlotte giggled; maybe she shouldn't have had a whole half a bottle of vodka straight. Hearing Akira enter the room she turned around, tripping over Steve in the process. Hugging her she apologised, but was brushed off. Finishing the song, both girls pulled Tony away as Dragon took a swig and chose Linkin Park, New Divide. Belting out the tune, she got an encore and cheering. Akira and Charlotte had to leave to go and pay for their pizza and flirt for a discount which in all honesty wasn't hard. Charlotte stumbled up to the microphone, not bothering with the Vodka; she'd had too much anyway. Choosing her song, she giggled; this would show everyone what she was capable of.
I wake up to a call at 4 a.m.,
being asked "Where were you yesterday and who were you with?"
Using both evasive languages and excuses,
I'm actually having a lot of fun with this conversation
"I want to meet you in person and have a talk."
That's your one weakness that I always aim at.
As long as we fall in love, things will be just fine, right?
I unlock the door, and lead you into the labyrinth
Things like "I love you",
that's merely what I say to trap you.
In a love game, the one who falls first is the loser, right?
Laughing she handed the microphone to Akira with a slurred 'beat that'. Akira started to belt out with her worst voice Take me down town by Rouge Traders. After that came Bruce with Highway to hell.
"Next, the duets. You have… the choice of a duet, but you… don't have to. Guys vs. Girls though~" Charlotte sang. They gathered in to their groups, Tony and Bruce explaining to Steve what Sing star was. Firstly, the guys started, Belting out I'm a gummy bear. The girls applauded, Charlotte going all out, dancing around them. The girls stumbled up, Charlotte trying to hold her liquor, but failing.
My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
and they're like "It's better than yours"
Damn right, it's better than yours,
I can teach you, but I have to charge
By now everyone was drunk, eyes lighting up, Akira grabbed a bottle lying discarded on the ground.
"Spin the bottle!" Charlotte yelled, earning shouts of agreement from all. Giggling, she passed the bottle to Dragon.
"You first, Dragon." Charlotte could barely contain herself. Not only would she have to kiss somebody, she couldn't not accept. Spinning, the bottle slowed and landed on Tony. With a horrified look both kissed and gagged, earning various slurred insults from Charlotte. Tony laughed her off, spinning the bottle, dreading what would happen.
"Karma's a bitch, ain't it?" Charlotte smirked. He had landed on Banner, of all people. Banner paled, whereas Tony smirked and pulled him into the kiss, after about thirty seconds, Charlotte walked into the kitchen, emerging with a fry pan, hitting Tony over the head, her aura darkened.
"No gay stuff in front of the kids, asshole." She glared at him. Signalling to banner that he could skip a turn, he spun the bottle determining the next player. Akira, was unlucky, sighing she spun the bottle, mumbling about various ways to kill everyone. Making a horrified face, she shook her head.
"No, I refuse. I want to live." She barely manage to get out before Steve kissed her, it was odd, for him at least. This game really did confuse him. The kiss was cut short by a blur of red and black as Charlotte flung Akira across the room once again.
"What the fuck was that for?" She growled out, barely audible.
"You bitch. How dare you influence the bottle and read my mind." Charlotte looked offended; she hadn't thought Akira would go to such measures to find a weakness. She threw a kick her way; this kid had to have a death wish. Lost in thought she didn't realise she was pinned against the wall, Akira at her neck
"Death Number Two." She told her, snapping her out of her daze.
"Fuck." She mumbled, when had that happened? She was sure she could have beaten her. She was pulled back into a reassuring albeit drunk kiss. Smirking she showed off, only slightly. Akira would pay…Eventually. Shit, now her thought process was being affected. She wasn't sure whether the door slammed closed or not, but did it really matter? Yes? No? She wasn't sure any more. Maybe the whole Loki's my dad, whoopdie fucking doo. Shit was getting to her. Pulling back for much needed air, she turned and waved to Natasha, throwing herself at Clint, who had both walked in to everyone shitfaced and kissing each other. Their expressions mirrored each other's in a What the fuck do you guys get up to? Kind of way.
"Long time no see!" she exclaimed raising another bottle of vodka to her lips.
"We saw each other 6 hours ago." Natasha stated, a smirk dancing on her mouth. Charlotte looked at her for a moment, contemplating her odds. Shaking her head, she spun around, skipping toward the kitchen. Pulling her already very revealing tank top up, over her head, and revealing a lacy black bra, she followed suit with her gym pants, showing a matching pair of panties, Earning drunken wolf whistles from the guys who had followed her into the warm night of the backyard. Pulling a face at Natasha and Clint, who made sounds of disapproval, she ran to the pool, laughing as she dived in. resurfacing she swam to the edge and pulled Tony in by the ankle, earning a surprised laugh from Tony.
"All right, that is quite enough now." Natasha tried to get the redhead get out. Charlotte was having none of that,
"Aww, but why, Aunty Tasha? Can't I stay in a bit longer?" She whined, using the nickname that Natasha had forbidden, that under no circumstances was to be used. Her expression darkened, beckoning Charlotte over, she swam over like an over exited puppy. Wrenching her out of the pool, she dragged her inside, along with AK and Dragon, leaving Clint to deal with the rest of the group who were mentioning something about spin the bottle and both girls. Shaking her head, Natasha led Charlotte to her room, pushing her inside and locking the door from the outside. Sighing she looked at the clock. S.H.I.E.L.D had ordered them to watch over the avengers, and make sure that Tony and Charlotte didn't do anything to crazy, and make sure that the area was secured if Bruce was to lose his temper. That order had been issued at around Ten P.M, now after the hour long journey to the mansion; Charlottes façade with the pool, it was about five minutes past One in the morning. Glancing toward the door that was between them, she wondered why there wasn't any noise emanating from the door. Assuming she fell asleep, Natasha walked into the living room where everyone had changed and were playing various video games. Whipping her head around behind her she saw a blur of florescent orange and black, sighing she cursed herself of course a highly trained assassin heavily drunk would know how to get past her unnoticed. Huffing an insult Tony's way, she tried to find Dragon, giving up she knew that Dragon had disappeared to the depths of her room to have some quiet time, for the pounding headache accompanied with a hangover.
"Ah, stop fucking with my head, AK." Charlotte giggled playfully; she was going to have one hell of a hangover the next day.
The girl flung herself at Steve who caught her and picked her up bridal style, taking her back to the room where he was convinced that because there wasn't enough rooms, Natasha would have his room, while Steve stayed with her. Flopping on her bed Charlotte pulled Steve with her, curling her body around his, and yawning. Muttering a 'good night', she wrapped her arm around his neck, ensuring he couldn't leave.
"Please stay. And… and don't for…get…me." Charlotte fought sleep, eventually giving in to the inky blackness. Steve stayed awake a while longer, don't forget her. Why would she say that? She wasn't going anywhere if he could help it. He had already lost Peggy; he didn't want to be that helpless ever again. Drifting off he couldn't shake the feeling he was missing a vital piece of the puzzle that was Charlotte Juliet Aulin.
Waking up the next morning, Charlotte found herself lying on Steve's chest. That however didn't bother her as much as the distracting aching of her head, now that it was just her in her mind, she couldn't switch over to let Phoenix deal with the hangover. Quietly disentangling herself from the covers, she exited her room, deciding to let him sleep while she dealt with a problem she had put off for far too long, the after effects of Phoenix separating from her mind. The separation had left loose ends of sorts at the edges of her mind, creating a ripple of memories from Phoenix's past that would eventually become a problem if left to linger. Making her way the guest room containing Tony Stark she smirked as she backed up slightly, sprinting the short distance to the bed and jumping on Tony's sleeping form.
"Ah! Shit, what the fuck? Charlotte, what is it, like five in the morning. Urgh, my head." Tony swore loudly, pushing Charlotte away, falling off the bed in the process. She giggled despite her headache.
"I need it now." She peered down at him, the prototype of the drug wasn't quite complete but Charlotte had no other choice, save for suicide. The drug was similar to the one Steve had been tested with, the only difference was instead of inhuman strength and other qualities, it would enable Charlotte to continue living with only the single personality in her head.
"It isn't ready." He stated bluntly, rising from the floor.
"I have no other choice, I already pushed the boundaries." She whispered
"Fine, let me make a few adjustments." Begrudgingly he got up, following Charlotte through the kitchen, and gingerly stepping down the old stairs that lead to the basement's Laboratory. Swirling around the room on a swivel chair left abandoned by Stark, Charlotte tried to be patient; she didn't particularly see the drug as a cure, more like a… anti-suppressant.
"Done." Tony's voice came through as no more than a whisper. Charlotte studied his face for a moment. He looked like shit; his brown eyes had a glazed, dull look to them, and his hair not much better. Shaking her head she walked over, taking the syringe lightly from his hands.
"Thank you." She told him quietly, Tony having to strain to hear it.
"Charlotte, if this doesn't work-"
"It will."
"But if it doesn't, Promise me that you won't do anything harmful to yourself." It was hard for Tony to admit but he really did care about this crazy, insane woman who took on the world and told it to get fucked.
"Like kill myself." She stated, looking away from him, not expecting a reply and she didn't receive one. Offering him a small smile, she leaned against a table as she injected the liquid into her vein in her wrist. Wincing slightly she checked her vitals. 103 beats per minute, not bad for her heart rate. Breathing normally, No visible Physical reactions, so far so good. Hugging Tony, she gave him the permission to go back to the comfortable bed waiting for him. Deciding to join Steve in her own bed, she smirked as she wrapped her arm around him once again.
Opening her eyes, the first thing Charlotte noticed was she was alone. Sighing she rolled over; It was two p.m. Steve must have woken up and gone in search of food. Yeah cause you so wanted him to fuck you when you woke up. A voice Charlotte thought she would never hear again sneered at her.
"FUCK!" Charlotte nearly fell off the bed save for her scrambling to the ground amidst bed covers. Barely registering hearing the door open followed by the avengers, Charlotte eyes unfocused, Well, where is my welcome back. I hardly think you didn't miss me.
"H-How? You shouldn't be there, I mean here. Fuck It." Charlotte couldn't think. Phoenix was not supposed to be here, she should be in Asgard, with Fenrir.
"… Phoenix is back." Akira stated, smirking while the others stared in awe.
"Stop fucking with my head." Charlotte snapped out of it. "I…I need to call somebody, I'll be back. Maybe." Charlotte whispered the last part.
"It was the drug. Wasn't it." Akira taunted, Charlotte froze. No one knew about that, no one needed to know that. Stretching her arm back, she planned to backhand Akira, but was stopped by a pair of strong arms gripping her own.
"What drug, Charlotte?" Steve sounded hurt, looking up he averted his azure gaze from her emerald orbs.
"Ah, Um, Tony will explain. I really need to call this person." Charlotte mumbled desperate to escape
"You mean Loki." Akira cut in, silencing everyone in the room
"Stop fucking with my head, Akira Ryuzaki. Or I swear to god there will be nothing for the authorities to find." That shut her up, Charlotte felt guilty though drawing on her one weakness, her fear of being forgotten and nothing of her to remember. Dragon sent her a look, but Charlotte brushed it off, walking briskly out of her room to the kitchen, looking under the sink she pulled out an ancient box, containing a fragment of the tesseract, enabling her to call Asgard if there was a disaster, emergency, or in worst case it would send out a SOS of sorts if she was to die. Hissing one last 'Fuck' she called her Father, Loki Laufeyson.
"My Lady, Why do you wish to speak to the prisoner?" Heimadal questioned, he was quite aware of the loathing that was mutually shared between them.
"I have something of his; I wish to give it back." She stated simply. The projection shimmered, revealing none other than Loki.
"You motherfucking trickster. What did you do, Why the fuck is Phoenix in My head?" Charlotte let rip, letting her anger surge into her voice creating a powerful and Deadly mix.
"Oh, I didn't do anything; In fact I think my son may have been responsible for that." Loki replied coolly. The drug, dipshit. reversed the situation.
"Bullshit." Charlotte was aware that the people in the next room jumped and cringed away.
"My, My so quick to blame others. Here is an interesting thought, what if Phoenix wanted to come back? Now, wouldn't that be intriguing-" He was cut off, for Charlotte had thrown the fragment across the kitchen, embedding it on the wall adjoining the guest bathroom. She sunk to her knees and whimpered, she didn't need this, this wild card after all that had happened. Pushing past Dragon who had come to see if she was okay. Running up the stairs to the entertainment room, she slammed Akira's door, unlocking the hidden door to the armoury. Heading toward 'her' corner, she pulled on a pair of fingerless gloves and started her usual warm up with the punching bag. Stepping out of her routine she let herself relax and break the bag. Sighing she pulled another one over and hooked it up. She let her head fall against it, bruising her forehead slightly. Squeezing her eyes shut, she let tear fall freely. Hoping that the stress and pain would fall with them. Crying harder when a pair of familiar arms pulled her into a hug as she was pried away from the bag and onto the ground.
"Why the fuck is this so hard?" she pressed against the warmth
"Because you never accept any help, you always pit yourself against the world." Steve replied, kissing her hair.
"Do you hate me now? For not telling you what would happen, the drug based of yours, for the call to Loki?" Charlotte whispered.
"No, I don't blame you. Even I probably wouldn't have told anyone." He tried to reassure her. She didn't reply, just curled up into Steve's shirt.
"Oh, and by the way I think there may be a pomegranate cheesecake that Tony has claimed is his. I'm not so sure." Steve mentioned innocently, betrayed by the mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Anthony Stark. You. Will. Die." Charlotte flashed him a grin, running down stairs, followed by a metallic thud, most likely from a frypan.
"Jesus, Get out of my house, or I'll start charging rent." Charlotte laughed, They had stayed for two more somewhat uneventful days of Akira being Akira, Charlotte and Phoenix arguing with themselves, after coming to terms with the drugs failure, and Tony and his new best friend, The frypan, getting very intimate.
"But how come He gets to stay." Tony pouted, pointing to Steve.
"Because he was better behaved than all of you." Charlotte narrowed her eyes at Tony, who cringed away from her.
"Yeah sure. Were you a good little wife then, Stevie-boy? Why would you like a demon like that?" Tony smirked, nudging Steve, who looked more than puzzled.
"Get the fuck out, or I will fucking escort you to the violence layer of hell." Her smirk contradicted her threat. Throwing his hands up in surrender, he pulled Banner to the car, abducting him to have a science buddy. Hawkeye and Widow left to do S.H.E.I.L.D and assassin-y things. Turning to AK and Dragon, Charlotte smirked, throwing the keys of two expensive cars at the,
"Have a joyride, There is credit cards in both cars, my treat." Winking at them, she hoped they got the hint
"I fucking hate reading minds now, I'm scarred for life." Akira started to drag a clueless Dragon away
"Then stop fucking with my head." She smirked, "Come on, I want to play a game."
"What kind of game?" Steve looked down at her
"I've got one in mind." She pulled him inside the door.
