Chapter 5

Bothersome

(❍ᴥ❍ʋ)

I woke to the sound of laughter coming from the kitchen where everyone was probably at. I get up and rub my eyes before taking a quick shower.

I rub my hair and sit on my bed.

"Miss Ana, Mr. Stark has assigned you to go on a mission today," Jarvis spoke.

"Will I be going alone?"

"Yes."

"Has my ride arrived yet?" I asked as began to change myself into some random black clothes for myself.

"Miss Ana that won't be necessary, Mr. Stark has provided you with your very own suit, it has everything you need to keep yourself safe, he had asked to give you this and make sure you wear it because he knows how stubborn miss Ana can be."

I roll my eyes as something falls onto my lap, it was 2 small bracelets, I put them on and sigh lightly as I see small purple flowers on the side, suddenly they clasped onto my skin.

"To wear the suit, please press the two Delphinium flowers at the same time."

I stand up and do what I was told, I felt my body begin to tingle as the suit engulf me entirely, I go to my mirror and look at myself.

The suit was a mixture of latex fabric and metal, it covered my body entirely and hugged my waist tightly as well as my chest with a dark shade of metal like belts, I had my shoulder covered in a darker black fabric and as it went down to my wrist it uncovered to show a bit of skin, from the very bottom of the suit it showed black like vines and towards my hips showed more Delphinium flowers blossoming.

(Forgot the vibes but click on this comment to see the art!)

"Didn't really think of Stark to add these small details," I mumbled, I began to stretch into the suit thinking it was going to be a bit hard to move in but surprisingly I felt quite flexible "so about my motorcycle."

"Ah yes, it is outside waiting for you, also here is your new smart phone curtesy from Mr. Stark, he said to tell you to send a message to him as soon as you arrived and when you leave to make sure you are safe," Jarvis said as I nod softly before looking around my room for my helmet as I pick up my hair in a random ponytail.

"Well, I mean I need to know where I'll be heading and what exactly is my mission," I mumbled.

"Stark has added more things to your helmet, and you will see where you will be going as well as the rest of the information from your own personal Jarvis which he likes to call Clovis."

I say a quick thank you before I begin to walk out my room and pass by the kitchen which I can see the rest of the team gathered inside speaking to one another.

"Where are you headed off to?" I think his name was Steve, said.

"Mr. Stark has sent me on a mission," I mumbled before I put on my helmet and begin to walk away again.

"How come he didn't ask Nat?" I heard them begin to whisper as I exit the floor, as the elevator doors begin to close a large hand stops it, they open to Steve standing there with a stern expression.

"Stark hasn't told us about this mission."

I slide up the visor on my helmet and sigh "look I don't know anything else except that I need to leave and do what I came here to do," I reach down to press the bottom to the first floor which he blocked.

"Steve Rogers," he held out his hand, I looked down at it and remember how he treated me the day before, I shake it softly "Ana," I said and tried to release myself from his grasp.

"No last name?"

"Not that I know of," I lied.

"Can't you show a bit of manners to our cap?"

"Sam it's okay," Steve looks at me up and down "she just doing small talk, she does have to go on a mission."

He moves his body from the doors and pressed the button for me.

As I reach down the bottom of the floor, I notice a motorcycle that wasn't mine parked in the front of the building I just exited.

"Hello Artemisia, my name is Clovis, sorry it took some time to speak to you, I will be your personal like assistant that Mr. Stark has provided for you," someone spoke out loud in my helmet, surprised at the sudden voice I jump up lightly "Oh my I'm sorry Artemisia," they apologized.

"It's okay, Clovis, correct?"

"Yes Ma'am."

"Jarvis said my bike was up front- "

"Ah yes miss Artemisia this is your bike."

I look at the brand-new black coated with small details of purple and gray lighting motorcycle in front of me.

"This is not mine; my bike was-," I sighed before looking at the bottom of the motorcycle reading the brand.

"Mr. Stark has ordered us to find you a suitable ride, this is the Kawasaki Ninja H2R- "

"Isn't it just a track bike?" I asked confused.

"Well Stark has his ways, but anyways this bike of yours goes up to 260 mph, he has asked special designers to make this resemble your suit in many ways but also make it a blank canvas for you since he knows how much you love adding your own little details," I nod slowly and get on the bike.

"Is it to your liking Artemisia?"

I sigh lightly and hit my helmet "about my name, call me Ana, my name is Ana," I mumbled.

"That isn't the name Mr. Stark has given me to call you," Clovis talked back.

"Well, that was the name that was given to me by Fury," I rolled my eyes "and when did robots have their own thoughts? Jarvis didn't act like you," I said annoyed.

"First off we are artificial intelligence, we can learn from you and as Mr. Stark was explaining about your personality, he had asked me to not just be an assistant for you but a friend as well, and for the past time I've been on the web to see how friends should treat each other Artemisia," Clovis said.

"Hmmm," I hummed amused "still don't like that name," I mumbled.

"So how about Arte? I have heard Mr. Stark call you that while I was being programmed," Clovis asked "or what about Flower?"

My blood went cold and stayed quiet "Artemisia, don't ever mention that word again," I mumbled "just give me my instructions."

"Yes, so today you will visit a very well-known club, Mr. Stark wants you to go into the room of the owner, his name is Eric Wilde he is known to be a very well planned out man, he owns many world-renowned clubs and of course an underground meth lab. Unfortunately, we have found out they have also been dealing with some very powerful beings that aren't from this world."

"Of course," I rolled my eyes "this won't be called a mission if I didn't run into some type of alien."

"They have information we need; this mission will be quite easy because you have gathered information before right Arte?" Clovis asked happily.

"Yup in and out."

"Stark has provided you a hard drive in the sleeve of your suit, all you have to do is upload into the computer which will be in his office," I nod, in full honesty I can do this job with my eyes close, glad this mission isn't like the ones Fury has sent me before.

It was daytime and I knew I was going to have to be extra careful since the club is closed and I'm not sure what exactly they are doing right now. I turn on my motorcycle before Clovis sets up navigation to my destination, I take off and felt the force of the speed hit me lightly as my body holds on tight.

"Fucking hell!" I laughed as I squeeze the handles "Jesus, money I swear."

"Money isn't everything Artemisia," Clovis chimed in.

"I know," I roll my eyes lightly.

"If you keep rolling your eyes they might just fall out of your head," they joked.

"That was such a dad joke," I smiled softly.

"I don't understand the meaning of a dad joke?"

As I park far away from the club, I look around my surroundings, Clovis shows me a blueprint of the club, the best way to enter is the top there's a door directly to his office on the balcony, easy.

"Well, do you know what cringey means?"

"Cringey

adjective INFORMAL

adjective: cringy

1.

causing feelings of embarrassment or awkwardness.

2.

servile or timid; cringing."

"Okayyy," I mumbled as I grab onto a ladder in an alley before pulling myself up and running up a few flights of stairs "well it's a type of joke that isn't really funny and kind of embarrassing that it makes you, well cringe, these jokes are normally told by dad's or older people that sense of humor has not aged since the dark ages," I laughed.

As I reach the top, I realized I was a bit farther from the club then was I normally planned, I sighed as I began to leap over each building.

"So, my joke was cringey Artemisia?"

"Very much so Clovis," I mumbled as I jump on the building, I needed to get the information "as fun and how much I enjoyed this conversation I need me some silence," I mumbled.

"Yes of course, but would you like to take the helmet off now?"

"Shit I forgot I had it on, well it's too late now, plus I don't have my ski mask to hide my face," I sighed before looking around the building trying to find the balcony.

"I will notify Mr. Stark now to get you a mask- "I shake my head.

"What am I, some hero? No, my ski mask will work just fine," I mumbled as I jumped down on the side rail just in case anyone was inside the office, I flip up my visor and slowly lower my head seeing only one guard inside, I land on the balcony and open the door.

"Well, hello big boy," I mumbled as the man turns to me, he was like 2 grown men in one, he quickly grabs a gun from his waist as I run to him and kick it out of his grasp "Come on, that isn't really fair Mister, I'm just a week little girl." I jump over him and grab a knife from my pocket, but before I can land a cut on him, I feel his fist hit the top of my helmet knocking it off my head "That hurt," I groaned annoyed.

He looks down at me and grabs me by my hair, I laugh "hey Mister what's your workout routine, how did you become this strong? You just made me feel pain in my helmet that's fucking sick," I smiled before I felt him slap my face, I cough and look back up at him "Jesus," I mumbled as I feel liquid coming out nose. "You just slapped me, and I'm already bleeding," I laughed as he throws me to a wall.

"Artemisia forget about his strength worry about yourself and get the information," I heard Clovis from the other side of the room.

"Yeah, yeah that can wait," I mumbled as I stand up and grab the guy by his arm "hey mister can you give me an answer now, I don't want to kill you without getting your workout routine," I sighed.

The man looks at me with a confused expression that quickly turned into anger as he lifted his arm with me on it and then down where I landed on the ground with a strong impact "why don't you just die already," he mumbled under his breath as I stand up again.

"Why don't you just tell me your secret in getting that strong?" I yelled lightly "it's not that hard! We could've been done a long time ago," I ran to him and slid under his feet before grabbing my dagger from the ground and slicing behind his legs making him fall forward. "God you don't have to be so greedy about your strength," I rolled my eyes as I grab his leg and twist it hard, the man yelps as I continue to break the other "I could've just killed you and got the information I needed but nooooo, I decided to be nice today and let you have a few minutes to say your last goodbye so you can give me feedback on how to gain strength," I groaned as I head to the computer and stick the drive in.

The man cries out as I turn him over and sit on his chest, "I was also just gonna give you a quick and easy death, you know one shot to the head and boom you're done, but you have to be such a dick about my question," I sighed as I cut his face softly. "How much longer Clovis?" I asked.

"10 seconds left."

"Well, that is my cue to head out," I mumbled as I stand up and grab the drive and begin to walk away to the balcony, "oops forgot something," I mumbled before jumping over the man and grabbing my helmet and putting it on.

"You almost forgot me," Clovis complained.

"Sorry but before you existed my helmet was simply a helmet with no robot inside," I mumbled before heading over to the man and slicing his throat.

"I am not a robot Artemisia, I'm Artificial Intelligence- "

"Yes okay," I mumbled, suddenly I hear the doors open to only reveal even more men that looked like the one on the floor "as much as I had fun boys, I have to head home," I laughed before running and jumping off the balcony onto a flight of stairs to another building.

"Mr. Stark wants to talk to you so I will put navigations on and show you the way to his building," Clovis spoke as I was driving my way back home.

"I'll see him later just send him the information on the drive, I need a shower," I sighed.

"Okay, how about your bruises, will you heal yourself when we get back home?"

"I'm half human you know, I can't regenerate to the point where I won't have injuries maybe heal faster than regular humans but that's all, I just don't really feel the pain as much."

I asked Clovis to add a bit of music on the way before I stopped for a light meal, as I reach the building Clovis stopped me "you're covered in blood, shouldn't you hose yourself off?"

"I'll do that after I shower," I mumbled as I quickly unwrapped my burger and took off my helmet before taking a bite, I enter the building and the elevator.

The doors open to man with glasses sitting down on the couch, he quickly stands up "Uh you must be Ana? I'm Bruce, and Hulk," he stook out his hand, I look down at my arms as one is holding my helmet and the other my burger, I put my food in my mouth and shook his hand quickly.

"Nice to meet you," I mumbled as I was going to continue walking before he grabbed my wrist and I turn quickly.

"Sorry," he mumbled as he let's go "are you alright? I heard from Tony you went on your mission alone, I tried telling him you were just a kid and needed back up," he began to panic.

"I'm fine the blood on me isn't mine, I'm not kid either," I mumbled and took another bite of food "now if you will excuse me, I need a shower and to clean up my mess."

Hello everyone Author here!

So, I know this is very confusing since I'm not quite sure if there are a lot of Marvel fanfics but I would like to say hi and explain the timeline and my character a bit.

Well for starters the timeline will set during thanos area, my story will not go as the comics or the movies go, meaning some characters will be alive and others might die, this is how I want my story to go, but once again there won't be a huge change. The person you've been reading about is named Artemisia and she is an Original Character; you will know more of her past in the future. I wanted her character to be dark but sassy at the same time, she will be very closed off at points and others well she will act as she chooses.

If you have any questions please comment, I will gladly try to help.
