all rightly then, he next chapter is up and ready. Ug I got this chapter finished between my shifts and did a proof read before posting it here after my day of work. Hopefully everything is correct but if not then my excuse is that I am only human. To all who are reading thank you for sticking with this story!
I do not own the Avengers team they belong to Marvel and Stan Lee (god bless him)
"What do you want Tyler." Alisha asked, taking the ice pack from her eye.
Tyler saw that her right eye was all black and mentally kicked himself. His father had yelled at him for hitting her, even if she had started it. He was just so angry that she was getting all this attention and no one els was. But that was untrue. She was giving them just as much as they were giving her, being respectful and saying thank you. Doing stuff for them like helping Dr. Foster with her projects. She had even built her friends wings so they could fly and go from place to place without having to wait, she even built a pare for a jerk like him. He felt like a real jerk after he had calmed down. She also saved his little sister today, saved one of the most important people in his life. And how did he repay her, by giving her a black eye and some bruises.
"I just want to talk" He said. He wanted to apologies but he didn't really know where to start.
"Ya, well I really don't want to talk to you right now. I'm still pissed at you for saying what you said and I don't want to start another fight because I will hate myself for herting someone I have known my entire life. Even if that person is a jerk" She said, sliding off the table and walking over to what Lance had been working on.
"Could you please just listen Alisha?! I am trying to say something and I really need to say it now before I back out!" He begged, urgently.
Alisha glared over at him then sighed. She was about to answer him when her serum alarm went off. She looked down at it, surprised. She then looked at the sky and could see it turning orange and pink. "Hold on a moment ok, I will get back to you" She said turning around and reaching into her bag.
Tyler balled his hands when he saw the needle and the green liquid she always had with her. He marched over and grabbed them both out of her hand, holding it up out of reach. "No, not later. Now" He said firmly.
Alisha stared at him, and then laughed humorlessly. "Haha that's really funny Tyler, now give it back to me." She said firmly, holding out her hand.
Tyler shook his head. "Not until I am finished saying what I need to say."
Alisha jumped up, grabbing for her serum. He was so tall she could just reach wrist. Tyler kept holding it out of reach and pushing her away. "The more we do this, the longer it will take. It will only take a few moments." He said, continuing to push her down.
"No Tyler, I really need that now. So give it back." She said in a slightly panicked voice.
"After I say what I need to say, then I will give it back"
"Tyler, PLEASE I really need it now. Please give it back" She begged, still trying to get it. She could feel her body beginning to shake. "PLEASE TYLER!"
"I promise, I will give it back when I say what I need to say!"
Alisha stopped trying to grab for her serum and leaned against the table, holding onto the edges.
Tyler took that as his cue to say what he needed. He started by listing off things that he had done to her so many years ago; failing to see that Alisha was trying to hold onto the table while her arms and legs shook.
Her breathing was becoming strained, her body becoming a bit hard to control, her mind and sight going a little fuzzy. She was beginning to panic while trying to stay calm. She could feel herself loosing the battle to stay concise. She turned around to face him. "Tyler" She said in a week voice.
"I am almost…" He said, and then looked at her "Are you ok?" He asked, seeing that she had gone pail and that she was crying.
"Help me" She sighed out then fell to the ground, bringing down some equipment and glass with her, making a huge crashing sound. Her body began convulsing and jerking everywhere while her eyes rolled to the back of her head. Blood began coating her mouth while she was gasping for air.
Tyler just stood there, looking down at Alisha's spazzing form, completely shocked and slightly scared before a noise brought him out of it.
"ALISHA!" The twins yelled as they came running into the lab. Tera punched Tyler in the face, and took the needle and the serum from his still raised hand. She handed it to Tia who gesstimated that Alisha just needed a little more then she had been getting in the Alps. Tera was holding Alisha's head, keeping her from hitting it hard on something. At that point Lance and Halder had come barging in because they heard a crash. They saw Alisha's convulsing form, Tia and Tera holding her down and giving her something in a needle, and Tyler still in shock.
Once Alisha's body stopped seizureing, Tia asked her questions trying to get her to wake up and regain conciseness. Alisha had had a full blown seizure and had been 5 minutes away from dyeing because her oxygen levels where so high. Tera was yelling at the still stunned Tyler while Lance and Halder were asking Tia what had happened.
After 10 minutes of nothing but talking, Alisha slowly became conscious and very slowly sat up and quietly said. "If you will all shut up, I will tell you what just happened. And if you start a fight Teralin Barton I will take away your gift" She said.
Tera looked over at Alisha enquiring to why she had to shut up and hastily shut her mouth at the look she was receiving from Alisha at that moment. "Ok, sorry" She said in a small voice.
"Could someone help me up, so I can sit on the table and look at everyone?" Alisha asked. Within seconds Lance was on her right and Halder on her left. They picked her up and gently set her down while Tia got her a bucket.
She looked at the bucket and half heartedly smiled. "Oh joy, I do love this part" Alisha joked, placed her head over the bucked and puked blood and bile. Tera got something cool for her face while Tia got her a large glass of ice water for when she finished. The boys just stood there, unable to help, not knowing what to do. They waited patiently for her to stop, a little grossed out.
15 minutes later Alisha took a big breath of air and groaned. "I really do hate it when that happens. I think you gave me too much of my serum Tia. I feel even more tired then I normally would be."
"Hay I'm not an expert. I would have asked JARVIS to help but I didn't think I had enough time." Tia said, handing her the glass of water. Alisha gratefully took it, filled her mouth, and washed down the taste of bile and blood.
"So are you going to explain what just happened, or are we going to have to ask someone els, hm?" Lance said in an annoyed voice. "Because from what I can see, it almost looked like you where poisoned." He said, glaring at Tyler.
"Oh come one, I may not like her, but I don't want to kill her. I mean, who els would put up with my shenanigans all the time if not her." Tyler protested.
"Shut it, both of you!" Alisha said firmly. "I will explain when I am good and ready to." She then took another gulp of water.
"Ok so you want to know what happened. I just had a spike in my Oxygen intake all at once because my heart and lungs are large for my size and they took too much in for my body to take. So in a way, yes I was poisoned Lance. But more importantly this" She said, holding up the serum "Is what keeps the functioning of them on a lower level so I can breath normally and not have to wear anything or have surgery. This serum is something my dad invented, a way for me to take in less oxygen so it's not leathl for me. Tia and Tera have known for a while because I had an episode at their place a long time ago and I had to tell them, like I am telling you now. I am small because I was born that way and also because while I was growing I had to move to higher elevation so I didn't have to take as much serum. With that I could grow more normally then on sea level. I still wasn't getting a lot of oxygen so I couldn't grow as big as others but eh, it's who I am. And if today wasn't an example that size isn't everything thenI don't know what is." She said looking at Tyler.
"So that's why you where so animate about getting back to the cabin all thoughs years ago." Lance said "Back when we were stuck in that blizzard, trapped in a cave." He said looking at Tyler and Halders confused faces.
"Ya, like I said I was dead ether way. It wasn't a figure of speech" She said shrugging.
"And what was with the coughing blood?" Tyler asked. Halder nodded his head in agreement to the question.
"When I have too much Oxygen in my body, it's lethal. My body tries to get it out somehow" She said shrugging.
"You should have told us Alisha. We wouldn't have been so hard on you" Halder said, placing his hands on her shoulders.
Alisha shook her head with a half smile. "And that is mostly the reason why I didn't tell you. I don't ever want special treatment if I can avoid it. The reason I was getting special treatment was because it was a way for me to live and grow as normally as possible. I also didn't tell you because I wanted you to learn for yourselves. It makes more of an impact if you learn it yourself then if you are told."
"Ya no kidding" Tyler said.
"Kids, are you all in the lab?!" Director Fury said over the lab intercom.
"Yes we are all here" Tia said into her com link.
"Ok, the Avengers and I have been in conference about what transpired today and have come to an agreement. We are on our way down now to talk to you so stay where you are" Fury said before the come went out.
Tia grabbed the waist basket and replaced the bag with a new one. Alisha took the last little bit of water and swished it around, whipping the rest of the blood from off her lips. Tera handed her some strong mint gum.
"What are you doing now?" Lance asked, looking at the girls fussing over everything, cleaning up the mess. But at that moment all the parents came in.
Tony took one look at his daughter and rushed over. "Alisha you are so pail, are you ok? What happened? Did something happen." He asked, eyeing Tyler. Steve stared at his son as well, judging his reaction. Tyler cringed away from the stare and sat down in a corner.
"I am ok dad. I just took a little more of the serum then I needed I guess. I will be ok" She said with a smile.
"Well, now that that is settled here is what is going to happen." Fury said, stepping out to the middle of the group. "Since the guys and the girls don't get along very well. Some more than others. We have decided to have the girls spend time with the guys at their homes. Starting tomorrow Tera will be with Tyler, Tia will be with Lance, and Alisha will be with Halder on Asguard. I want each of you to spend as much time together as possible without it getting to personal. Get to know each other." He said, eyeing each of the kids. He then looked at Halder. "We have already asked Odin about having a human on Asguard and he has agreed that this situation is for the best. You will spend one month with each of the three members. After this first month there will be a rotation. Tera will spend the next month with Halder, Tia with Tyler, and Alisha with Lance. After that month, the last rotation. After that we will see where everything stands at the 4th of July party. Do we all understand?" He asked the kids.
They all said in unison. "Understood."
Alisha raised her hand and spoke. "Don't you think it would be weird to send the girls to the guys places?"
"We thought about that but then thought that since you are already packed and Tera and Tia's stuff are already here, this would be the easiest and quickest form of action. Now get some sleep, we all have a big day tomorrow." And with that Fury turned and walked out the door.
"Father, do you think it is a good Idea bringing Alisha to Asguard with her condition?" Halder asked his father quietly.
Thor smiled at his sons concern. "So you finally know about her condition. I thought that as well but I also thought that this would be good for her, a way to help her grow stronger even if it is only for a month. Odin agrees with me on this so it has been decided."
"And just when I thought I would have a longer break from my training, I have to go back in one day. Wish I could have spent more time with mom." Halder said gloomily.
"Ay, me too." Thor said looking over at Jane. She smiled back at him, walked over, and wrapped her arms around him.
"Are you sure you are ok Alisha. I could get something to help." Tony said, absentmindedly rubbing Alisha's back.
"Its ok dad, I just need a good night's sleep." She said with a smile as the twins came over to her.
Tera and Tia helped Alisha down and to her room. "Well, get some sleep. It's going to be a very interesting 3 months." Tia said to Alisha.
"You wana know what I wished for, for my birthday?" Alisha said, pulling the blankets over her. "I wished I could spend a lot of time with everyone. Guess I really should be carefully what I wish for because I got it" She said sarcastically and closed her eyes, wondering how the next few months where going to pan out.
Out of the shadows appeared a man with slick black hair and a green and gold outfit on. His smile almost hypnotically sinister as his observation proved his hypothesis right. "So it is the Stark child that keeps them together after all. Perfect, I shall be getting two birds with one stone." Loki said and without a sound, vanished.
you didn't expect that did you, did you, no! Hehehe, well things are about to get more interesting and my creativity is about to go wild with this next part XD! Tell me what you think of this new twist and as always please review!
LOVE TO ALL
