E12 - Stress

No memes or gifs unless I find one that fits with something in the chapter

A few days went by, where nothing much really happened. There was no report of another attack like the ones we had recently dealt with. There was only the routine crime that the police sometimes couldn't handle. That's when Dad would go and quickly step in. Then there was the media, spreading rumors of my inactivity. So, that was fun to watch. I still had very little control of my abilities, but I started to get the force fields down.

It was starting to get late, and most of us were beginning to go to bed when we were all told of the attack. "Erika, I know it's late, but there's an attack happening in Livingston, New Jersey. Same M.O. as the New Haven attack." Zara informs me, and I sigh, changing into my suit. I lightly pet Uno before leaving my room towards the jet. Steve and Nat were running towards their rooms to change, as I entered the living room.

"Jarvis has already informed Hill." They both tell me as I pass them.

"I'll prepare the jet." I state, heading to the landing pad after checking the fuel and putting in the location. I double-checked everything else, and once everyone was here, Clint flew us off. They all gave me worried looks, and I sighed, knowing what they were thinking. "I'll be fine. I know my limits." I state, and Steve gives me another look.

"Jarvis actually informed Clint and me that Hill wants you with a separate SHIELD team." I give him a confused look, as does Dad and Bruce. "They found their headquarters. It's in Piscataway, NJ. She wants you to lead the infiltration, dropping you off on the way." He tells me, and I nod, understanding.

"That's so out of the way, though. It'll be over by the time we get there." Dad tells us, and I nod at that.

"I'm flying as fast as I can!" Clint yells to him, and I stand up as Dad goes to argue it.

"She might as well come with us." He says, and I sigh.

"Dad, we both know the reason why I should be with the infiltration team." I tell him, and he looks at me. I raise my eyebrow at him, and he drops it. We soon arrived at my location, and I got off of wishing them luck. Before I thought up a quick but malleable plan, the teams there went over everything with me. Once I put out the orders and everyone was prepped, we went through with it.

It definitely wasn't quick, as I was limited to my powers. Three teams and I went and created a diversion as one other went through the vents placing bombs. All of them were going to go off as soon as we were all out. Only half of the bombs were in place when one of the people in the vents spoke up. "I found their storage. They have at least ten dozen sets of these guns." They told me, and I sigh, knowing what had to be done.

I hid behind the wall while the other team was shooting at my team. "Anyone on the outside willing to come in with a grenade bomb? Agent Kelin found the stash of guns from the vents." I asked over to the outside team, and it was a few seconds.

"We're sending Agent June in." I'm told and nod.

"Agent June is coming in with a grenade bomb. If you have an angle of the doorway in there, shoot anyone that comes through." I tell them before going back to my current fight. I shot my photon beams at anyone who was shooting at us. After about ten minutes, the building shook a bit meaning the stash was destroyed. Five minutes after that, I was told that all the bombs were in place. "Start to move out." I order, and we head back.

After getting out with some difficulty of running into more gunmen and getting the word, everyone was out. The bombs went off, and drones were sent up to make sure everything was destroyed. Once it was called, we all got on jets. They had a separate one for me to take back to the tower. I had Zara start writing out a debrief for me, so I could just go to bed when I got home.
