Chapter 03

- Blake -

I was sound asleep, when I felt turbulence, making me fly out of where I was.

- "Are we there?" - I asked, half awake.

- "We're here." - I got up from where I was, and we waited for the gate to open.

The hatch opens, and an employee comes in to get the bags. With them distracted, we get off the plane and leave.

We went to the terminal and went unnoticed by the guards. We left the airport and could be quieter.

- "I hope they don't realize that we're here."

- "I just want this to go smoothly without being chased." - Whispers Grid so that people who pass by wouldn't hear him.

We walked for a while until we saw a restaurant and went in to eat something. A waitress came to ask for our order. - "What would you like to order?"

- "Some scrambled eggs with bacon." - The waitress nodded and left. - "Okay, I want breakfast."

- "Excuse me, can I sit here?" - I hear the voice of a boy, I turn to him, and it's a boy of about 18 or 20 years old... or maybe he looks like that, and he is already about 30 years old.

- "Sure, it doesn't matter." - I say, looking away from him, he sits down in front of me nervously.

- "May I ask what you're doing here? Someone your age shouldn't be out on her own."

- "I can take care of myself, I appreciate your concern though." - I said without looking at him. After a while my order arrives, the waitress leaves and I start eating.

- "What's your name?" - He asked curiously. I sighed and continued eating.

- "Blake, Blake Fixgard." - I said seriously.

- "Oh, your name is very nice."

- "I exchanged something with you, now you share something." - I said curtly, to which he hurried to say something.

- "My name is Peter, Peter Parker." - He said with a smile.

- "Well, it's nice to meet you, Parker." - I said, looking at him with a half smile.

- "You too, Blake." - I finished eating and paid. Don't ask where I got the money.

I got up and headed for the exit, but not before Parker stopped me.

- "Are you sure you want to go alone?"

- "I've been like this for a week already, we know how to take care of ourselves." - I let go of his grip and walked out.

~ You confused the boy. ~

'What are you talking about?'

~ You said 'We know how to take care of ourselves.' You said it in plural. ~

'I'm aware!'

We continued on our way and I saw Iron Man flying through the city, he was heading for Stark Tower. So I didn't think twice and followed him.

We went to an alleyway to transform and followed him through the buildings without him noticing we were following him.

- Tony Stark -

I was about to get to the tower, but I felt like something or someone was following me. The radar didn't pick it up, so it could be my imagination, but the feeling just kept going on and on. This can't be my imagination. 

- "Jarvis, can you scan the place?"

- "Yes sir." - Jarvis scanned the whole place, but he didn't find anything. - "The area is clear, there are no threats nearby."

- "Maybe it's my imagination." - I looked all over the place until I saw something running on top of the buildings, but it didn't last long and disappeared - "I just saw something and I don't think it's my imagination" - I arrived quickly to the tower and walked while the suit was disassembled and put away. The first person I ran into was Pepper.

- "Hi Tony."

- "Hi Pepper." - I walk past her and head for the lab.

- "Did something happen?"

- "Something was following me. When I saw it, it looked more like a..." - I was silent as I remembered what I saw it look like. - "Damn it."

- "What?"

- "And thinking I'd get out of the patch job." - I said to get through to Steve. - "Capsicle, I have a problem."

- "Don't call me that Tony, what's the problem?"

- "Remember when Fury gave you that special assignment?"

- "Yeah, why?"

- "Because, apparently, it's stalking me."

- "WHAT? DID YOU SEE IT?"

- "It was for a moment, but it disappeared. It must still be out there."

- "Sir..." - I pay attention to what Jarvis was about to say. - "There's an intruder near the area." - When he said that, I didn't know what to do. Steve was still on the line.

- "Tony? Is something wrong?"

- "I need you to come as soon as possible, while I take care of your TASK."

- "TONY, DON'T..." - I hung up on him and started looking around for the intruder.

- "Tony, you're scaring me, what's going on?" - She said worriedly.

- "We have an unexpected visitor. Jarvis, look for it."

- "It's in the building across the street."

- "Damn it. Jarvis, get the Mark 6 ready."

With Blake.

I was near Stark's building, but I saw he already noticed us.

~ What do we do now? ~

- "I hope he doesn't find us."

- "ONE, TWO, THREE. I FOUND YOU!" - We heard a familiar voice that startled me. I looked around, and it was Stark in his Iron Man suit. - "What the hell, didn't your mom tell you that spying on people is bad?"

- "Well, I guess not, because I was only with her for eleven years, and with being missing for four years I don't think she would have told me that." - I said sarcastically.

- "Wow, what a genius. Wait, four years missing? I can't take any more shit. What's your name, girl?" - I didn't want to answer his question and I started to run, while he was coming after me.

But the speed difference was too much, and he stopped in front of me.

- "It's no use running. Do it the easy way or the hard way."

- "I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU MY FUCKING NAME!"

- "HEY, THAT LANGUAGE IS NOT GOING TO BE TOLERATED BY THE POPSICLE!"

- "Well, tell him to get used to hearing bad words."

- "Well, you asked for it." - He goes towards me and I back away, as long as he doesn't grab me I'm good. But it was useless. He grabbed my arms and lifted himself a few feet off the building. You would not believe how fucking scared I am now. I'm glad I don't have vertigo, otherwise I'd be done.

- "PUT ME DOWN, YOU FUCKING CAN MAN!"

- "Just say your name, and I'll put you down."

- "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!"

- "I'll give you to the count of 3. If you don't tell me, I'll let you go."

- "You son of a b..." - I felt him slowly letting go of me.

- "One more insult and I'll let you go."

- "You better let me go. At least I'll be in a better place than this world." - I said, forgetting that I was getting scared because of the height I was at. Well, my life was fun while it lasted. He got quiet for a while, then carefully placed me in the building.

- "Why do you say that? You're too young to have that mentality." - He asked with some interest, I didn't know what excuse to use. I think I only have two options: tell him the truth or attack him to give me some time to escape. I'd better go for the second one.

- "Here's why..." - Then, two of Grid's limbs come out and attack him so that we can run away.

~ WHAT A GOOD IDEA, HUH! VERY GOOD! ~

- "Save the sarcasm for later." - Stark on our heels, so I sped up to jump over a building and land on my feet.

- "Wow, what a jump." - I could hear in his voice that he was impressed - "CAP, A GIRL ATTACKED ME AND SHE'S ESCAPING!"

Does he think he can catch me? I'm supposed to have come all this way to stay out of trouble. Not to look for trouble.

As I was about to jump into another building, some kind of plane appeared in front of me. Oh, that's great. More fuel for the trouble we're in. A guy dressed in blue with a star on his chest comes out of the plane, walking towards me.

- "We don't want to hurt you. We just want to talk to you." - He spoke calmly. I don't trust him.

- "When they say 'just talk' they come to fight."

- "Not if one of us starts the fight." - I turn to look at Stark, who was behind me for a moment, and turn my gaze on the guy who just arrived.

- "Guys, you know that if you don't bring her to her senses, you'll have to fight her?" - We hear over the radio.

- "I think so."

- "She's a kid, it would be exaggerated for you to fight her."

- "You're right, whoever is behind the radio."

- "It doesn't matter, were you missing for four years by any chance?"

- "I don't know where you know that from, but I won't say anything other than to answer that question: yes. I won't tell you my name for anything in the world." - I said firmly.

- "You can trust us..."

- "You don't know what we've been through these past four years." - I interrupt him.

- "She's stubborn about not wanting to say her name." - Stark comments.

- "Hey, my name is Steve Rogers, can you tell me yours?" - He said and asked, approaching slowly, I just backed away from the two of them so they wouldn't grab me.

- "Whatever it is, I'm not going to talk, let alone go with you guys."

- "We're just doing our job. Fury wants to see you." - Says Rogers, still approaching.

~ Fury? Who is that? ~

- "I don't know either." - I whispered and saw the two men. - "I don't know him, and I don't want to know him."

- "It will be very complicated to make her trust us." - Says Rogers, turning to look at Stark.

- "Don't provoke her, she may help us." - When we heard that, we understood what they wanted. When will they stop seeing us as something like that?

- "I see... you see us as a weapon. An object for you." - I lowered my head in fury. - "WE CAN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO ADAPT INTO A NORMAL LIFE!"

- "What do you mean... 'we'??" - Rogers asks in confusion.

- "You see us as weak in appearance. But we're more than that." - I make my hand cover with Grid's biomass and turn it into a blade bigger than my hand, surprising those present.

- "We are more than just an assassin." - We said, pointing our blade at Rogers.

- "Put it down. No need to resort to violence." - Said Rogers, raising his hand indicating to me to lower the blade.

- "YOU DON'T GIVE US ORDERS!" - Grid pulls out four limbs and I get into a fighting potion, while Rogers and Stark prepare to fight us.

Grid hits Iron Man with two of his limbs, while the other two help me fight Rogers. He knew how to fight me well, dodging almost all of my attacks, but he couldn't dodge all of them because we always found a way to hit our opponent.

- "We didn't want it to come to this, But if we want to be calm, it is necessary to do it." - Rogers throws his shield at us, but Grid manages to get two of his limbs to stop the shield and I send it away.

I look at Rogers with a cold stare.

- "Don't try to do that. You've already lost one of your toys." - We feel a shot behind us, we turn to look, and Iron Man shoots an energy wave at us again. - "YOU KNOW THAT ATTACKING FROM BEHIND IS COWARDLY!"

- "It is difficult."

- "I'm going to help you." - Said a red-haired woman in a black suit.

- "NATASHA! DON'T...!" - He didn't finish speaking because I hit him with one of Grid's limbs. I turn to look at the woman and when she is a few meters away from us, she starts walking.

- "Calm down, we don't want to hurt you. We are just doing our job, we want to help you. You are not alone..."

- "I'm never alone." - She stops walking and her face changes to one of confusion.

- "What?"

- "I'm always accompanied." - Grid comes out from behind me, facing the woman with a dark smile.

- "Always." - Then I start to transform, and we look at her with annoyance.

- "Don't try to change our minds." - We said, approaching her slowly on all 4s.

- "It's worse to see it in person." - Natasha was backing away for fear that we would attack her, we roared and ran towards her, who started to run when she saw us coming towards her.

Iron Man shot at us but didn't do the slightest bit of damage, then knocked us down by force, rolling us to the ground. We rejoined and received almost instantly, a blow to the face, we turned our heads from the force of the blow and turned to see Stark, and spit sideways and grunt at him for what he did.

- "...Sorry." - We roared and hit him, sending him flying to the other side of the building.

We got on top of him and roared in his face again, some drops of blood were coming out by themselves.

- "BUT WHAT BAD BREATH YOU HAVE!" - We were going to remove his helmet, but a missile didn't let us do it and we flew off.

We landed near the edge of the building, we saw who was responsible, and it was Natasha who had fired that missile from that plane. We went after her, but they fired a tranquilizer dart at our neck and little by little we were losing strength until we were on the ground motionless. Grid de-transforms leaving us exposed, while the last thing I saw was the three of them approaching us with Iron Man and Natasha pointing their guns at us. Everything goes dark.
