Chapter SevenA Chapter by Fenix Flight Tease Screaming herself awake Fenix shoots up in bed, sweat dripping down her forehead. The nightmares of her kidnapping were back. Taking deep breaths she tries to calm her heart down. When her heart no longer felt like it was going to jump out of her chest she lays back down and turns to look at her alarm clock. The soft glowing numbers told her it was 3:00. A.M. Sighing she gets out of bed knowing full well there was no way she was going to be able to go back to bed after her nightmare. Pulling on her bathrobe and slippers she quietly slips out of her room and pads down the hallway to Tony's room, hoping he was sound asleep. Cursing out loud she glares at his tightly shut door, knowing that if she tried to open it to see if he was in there the squeaky door would wake him up. She spins around and quickly heads toward the stairs on the other end of the hallway, taking them two at a time until she gets to the main floor. Seeing that Tony wasn't on the main floor she goes down a second flight of stairs that leads to his lab. Voices coming from the lab alert her that she isn't alone and makes her stop on the bottom stair and hold her breath. Making no noise she slowly edges her way to the lab door and listens.
"Bruce you do realize that she is 15 years younger then you right? that's cradle robbing." Tony's voice floats over to her.
'What the?' she thinks, who were they talking about?
" Yes I do realize this, and do you see me making any form of gestures toward her? No, you don't." Bruce Banner says his voice much closer to her meaning he was closer to the door then Tony. " oh don't give me that look Stark,"
"My sister has been through hell and back, the last thing she needs right now is a relationship where she has to make sure she doesn't make her boyfriend turn into a raging green monster." Tony says making Bruce sigh in defeat. Fenix's eyes widen, they were talking about her! Almost forgetting that she wasn't suppose to be there she almost burst out laughing. Bruce Banner A.K.A the Hulk has the hots for Her! Well that did explain why he jumped to her defense so quickly. Figuring she would put Bruce out of his misery of being lectured by her brother she punches in the code to open the door.
"Hey Freaks I'm coming in!" She yells and opens the door to find Tony and Bruce frozen in whatever activity they were doing. "Jeez I know I'm awesome but I don't think you need to stop and stare." She sneers making them both jump.-
"Fenix how many times have I told you to give me a heads up?" Tony says crossing his arms. Bruce just quietly goes back to his laptop and what looked like blueprints to a new project.
"I yelled your name at the top of the stairs. Not my fault your going deaf old man." She snaps at him laughing at his reaction. "Anyway where are the other freaks, I mean avengers?" she asks folding herself into her desk chair. She takes her robe off and stretches, her tank top lifting slightly revealing her belly button ring, snickering at the sound of Bruce clearing his throat. Oh this was going to be fun.
"The rest of them are with Fury the almighty." Her brother says making her look over to him. His face clearly showed that he knew what she was doing to Bruce and he didn't approve. She smiles sweetly at him like she doesn't have a clue. "They are trying to locate the coward." He says shaking his head referring to Loki.
Its been a week since his escape and the Avengers have yet to find him, even though he was right under their noses in her cabin 40 miles away from stark tower. Trying not to giggle at the stupidity of her brother and the others she just nods her head.
"How is that coming along anyway? do you guys know why he broke out yet?" She asks crossing the room to stand next to Bruce who stills at her close proximity. She looks over the blueprints on the table and sees some form of weapon. "What the hell is That?" she says taking a closer look.
"This is a weapon that will defend us against Loki. He managed to grab the scepter in his escape, This weapon will absorb the tesaracts power that the scepter holds." Bruce says moving closer to her. She looks over at him and smiles her sweetest smile, enjoying the way he squirms under it. Tucking a strand of her dyed orange hair that managed to slip out of her pony tail behind her ear she turns around and comes face to face with a very angry looking Tony. She lifts one eyebrow at him challenging him to say something. Shaking his head he holds up his hands in mock surrender. "Did I miss something?" Bruce asks, confused at the exchanges between the siblings.
"Don't worry about it Banner. And no we don't know yet why he escaped. We are confused as to why he is waiting so long to attack. Thor says his brother is impulsive and impatient this behavior is not normal for him. From what I saw before this wacko is a total Diva and attention hog it concerns us as to why he is waiting." Tony tells his sister completely oblivious to her fist clenching at the insults to Loki.
"Maybe he learned that trait from you." She says loudly enough so he could hear, making Bruce drop the tool in his hand and laugh. Looking up at his team mate he tries to cover up his laughter with a cough failing miserably. " Hey the hulk has a sense of humor who knew?" She says teasingly bumping him with her shoulder.
"Fenix do you know how disgusting it is to watch you flirt with a man twice your age? why don't you go run off and play little girl." Tony says not able to handle it any longer.
"Don't tell me what to do Old Man." She says dropping the playful act. She strides up to her brother and stares him in the eyes. "I don't have to listen to a single word you say so don't even try it, you and I both know its pointless." She says in a deadly voice. Smiling at him she spins on her heels and walks out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Running up both flights of stairs she runs past her room to the room next door.
Slamming that door as well she leans against it and takes a few deep breaths. She slowly turns around and surveys the room she's in. The smell of fire assaults her nose and makes her eyes water, the walls of the room had thousands of scorch marks as well as the floor and ceiling. She was in what she called her Fire room, where she could safely use her ability and not hurt anyone or seriously destroy anything. Letting her muscles relax she lobbies a huge ball of fire at the farthest wall and watches as it ignites for a few seconds before fizzling out. She throws ten more fireballs at the spot until the smell of smoke became to strong for her. Leaving the room she literally runs into Bruce and almost falls backward.
"Easy now," He says gently, catching her with both hands. when she was on her feet he takes one hand away but keeps the other on her back a little longer then necessary.
"Thanks B, I'm fine. "She mutters indicating he can let her go. Dropping his hand he clears his throat.
"Um right, well Tony said you might be in here, I came to say that you don't have to pay attention to me for my sake. I know I'm older then you and that you probably have no feelings for me in that manner." He says rushed rubbing his hands together in what Fenix learned was a nervous habit. With that He smiles at her and turns to leave. Shaking her head she goes into her room and grabs the disposable Phone Loki gave her. She punches in his number and gets voice mail.
"We have a problem. half hour tops." she says vaguely and hangs up, knowing he would understand what she means. Stashing the phone somewhere Tony wouldn't find it she waits patiently for the right time to slip out of the house.
