"Theres a bottle of holy water in every room?" Gage sighed, following her around the house,ready to drive her to school. Tony watched from the kitchen as they walked past. "And Clint has the salt shotgun? And mom has sage ready?" Gage rolled his eyes. It's been nearly three weeks and in the time Luke came by at least once a week, if not more, mostly to annoy them but with the information Loki gave it made his visits all the more terrifying. "And theres salt stocked up in the lab." Gage sighed. "Yes, yes and yes. We'l be just fine. You have your necklace?" She felt her chest, just above the arc reactor. Along with the heart necklace he had given her so long ago there was an Irish cross necklace from her grandmother in Ireland. Having been blessed it should give her a good deal of personal protection from Luke and his son. She sighed. "Yes, I do. So your all good while I'm at school?" Gage gently nudged her to follow him, his arm around her shoulder. "Yes. Were fine. The house has two bodyguards, Iron Man plus your mom. We'l be fine. Now lets get you to school."
In many of the classes Quinn was writing out plans for her new suit. She was reaching a point where putting it all together made sense or had a revelation...whatever the right word is when she felt someone looking over her shoulder. "Thats quite advanced and dangerous. Nanowirelesss transmitter injected into the skin." She closed the notebook, looking over her shoulder at him. He was fairly handsome, blonde and apparently very smart. "And who exactly are you?" He smiled, holding out his hand. "Aiden Killian ." She glared at it. "Killian? Son of Aldrich Killian?" "You know my fathers name?" She glared, the bell ringing as she started gathering her stuff.
"Yes I do. I also know about the illegal experimentation's your father put on innocent people. Just where was the death toll? 100? 150?" Aiden cleared his throat. "You know as well as I there is always trail and error in the pursuit of science." "Mine don't put innocent people at risk." She started to walk away when he suddenly got in front of her. He smiled. "Now come now, do you really believe your creations don't put Innocent people at risk? Theres always a risk." She nearly growled, holding her books close to herself. "Not like yours." She walked away, fast, wanting to be very far away from him.
Damian was watching Quinn thru the mist, smirking while gently rubbing his tented black dress pants. He stopped a moment, watching more closely. He smirked before getting up and out of his large black bed that accented the red walls around him. He got to his fathers office, muffled screaming could be heard. He rolled his eyes. "Father, may I come in?" There was moaning heard over the muffled screams. Then the moaning stopped a moment. "Y-yes, son. But make it quick." Damian rolled his eyes, sighing before opening the door. His father had a young woman, blonde laid on on her stomach and legs stretched as he held them. Her fingers broken, leg possibly broken and all kinds of cuts and bruises including his claws digging into her bloodied back. She whimpered and cried and attempted to call him for help. Reaching out.
His father was still balls deep inside her. He saw her reaching out and quickly pinned her arm down, breaking it with the pressure. The poor woman screamed in pain. Luke took in a deep breath, controlling himself from continuing to ravage the young woman.. "What is it Damian? Make it quick." Damian looked annoyed. "I think we should stop bothering the Starks for a bit. Theres someone else." His father looked pissed, pulling out of the woman, standing, no shame in his nudity as he walked over to Damian, nearly growling. "Who is it?" "Names Aiden Killian and as much as I hate it, seems to have an eye for the princess but he and his family specialize in illegal extermination. He's trying to get Quinn to work with him. I think this will prove very entertaining, especially if we...help him along." Luke seemed to think about it before smirking. He heard the woman trying to escape, crawling pitifully, whimpering until he stepped on her already broken arm and hand. She barely could scream, letting out only a high pitched whine. Luke grinned. "I like that idea very much."
When Quinn got home she went right to the lab. She got the plans for her next suit and she let the family know she wanted to be left alone. Tony just gave an amused chuckled as she ran off. Kim gave him a worried look. He smiled. "New suit." Only her family didn't know what was involved in the suit. She locked them out, knowing they would stop her. She marked on her skin where the nano-wireless transmitters would be injected then got to making them. Once they were made she started making the amour. She didn't know how much time went by until Gage used the override code. Walking in, seeing her injecting something into her arm, holding the tourniquet with her teeth. He frowned, stopping the rock music playing in the lab. She looked up.
"oh. Hi." Her voice muffled before letting go of the cloth. He frowned. "Hi. It's time to get ready for school. What exactly are you doing?" She grinned, putting down the syringe. "I'l show you." She started rushing around, going to the platform in the room. He started at her, worried but let her do her thing. She sighed, letting out a breath before quickly sticking her hand out. It was a few seconds later the repluser hand flew to her, nearly nicking Gage in the ear if he hadn't dodged it. She grinned as it formed on her hand. "I only have the hand right now but I can have the amour anywhere I am. If I'm in trouble I just switch on the nano-wireless transmitters and boom! Amour!" He still looked worried. "How much coffee have you had?" She stepped off the platform. "I don't know. Does it matter?" He gave her a look.
"So I'm guessing you haven't slept." "Nope." He sighed. "Well it's time for school. Clean yourself up, I'l drive you." She frowned. "Someone is grumpy." He glared softly. "I'm grumpy because your injecting yourself with god knows what-" "Nano-wireless transmitters." "Into your body. Do you even know the effect they could have? Side effects?" She smiled weakly. "Yes I have and the benefits outweigh the side effects. Think about it, I can have my suit anywhere I am. I can walk outside like a normal person and not have to worry about being kidnapped." He let out a breath.
"You know I can teach you self defense? Already have? Your a good fighter but your reliance on technology, I don't like it. Your suit can break, lose power. Someone can hack into it, make it do whatever they want." She shook her head, wiping off some of the marker from her arm. "Look, I just want to feel safe when I'm out there. And you do do that but when your not, I'm not as good a fighter as you or TJ. And if your hurt. This inst just for me. It's for you and Clint and TJ and everyone I love." She frowned, moving closer, taking the repluser hand off. "I'm doing this, not just for me. If one of you is hurt and I can't help you..." Her eyes watered, looking away. "I'm doing this because I have to protect the one thing in this damn world I cant live without." She turned, looking at him, feeling small as she ever has. "Thats you. I could lose mom, dad, TJ and it would break my heart, I'd be devastated but as long as I still have you, I'd get thru it. But if I lost you..." Her eyes watered over before he could come closer to comfort her she wiped them away. "I'l go get ready for school." Gage turned, watching her leave the lab, sighing. He just wished he could know what the hell was going on in the mind of hers.
