Yelena was moved back to her room where she was on bed rest for the rest of the week. Shuri and Izzy stood in the midst of projections as Shuri explained to her why Olivia shouldn't have her powers, and the damage they can leave behind.
"With one more blast, Yelena could be dead..." Shuri explained. Izzy sighed and nodded.
"We'll get rid of them."
The two spent the afternoon scribbling down notes and working together. They ultimately came to the conclusion that they need to remove the green pigment from Olivia's shield, as that's what's generating them. Izzy was apprehensive, but went through with it.
The lab door opened and Olivia walked through, seeing her shield hanging up and her face all over the projections. Shuri froze and ran out of the room, leaving the two girls.
"What's all this?" Olivia asked, gesturing to the projections. Izzy didn't answer, just took Olivia's shield and attempted to get out of the room. Olivia held her arm out and had the shield fly onto her arm, making Izzy fall to the floor.
"Izzy..." She whispered, looking down at her friend as she stood up. "Why is my face everywhere?"
"It's nothing, Liv."
"Then tell me what it is."
"I can't-"
"Izzy-"
"We're getting rid of your powers!" Olivia stepped back slightly and scoffed under her breath as Izzy set down all of her notes, fanning them out. "You could've killed Yelena."
"But I didn't." Olivia growled, standing in the middle of all the projections and looking around. "You really think I could cause all of this?"
Izzy slammed her hands on the table in frustration and stormed over to Olivia. "I don't know, you've caused enough destruction so I have no idea what you're capable of."
"What I'm capable of? May I remind you that I'm not the only person who has powers here!"
"You could've killed Yelena!"
Olivia huffed, "Only one of us has killed in this duo."
Izzy looked taken back, tears springing in her eyes. She turned her back on Olivia and sniffled. "It was either us or him."
"So why don't we take away your powers?"
Izzy spun around quickly and growled, "Because I know how to control them."
Olivia stepped closer so their faces were close, "No, it's because without those powers you're nothing."
"You're just mad because I know more than shagging and fighting."
"I'm angry because you're wanting to take my powers despite the fact that they could save millions." Olivia has her shield come onto her arm and threatened it. Izzy scoffed, unphased.
"So what? You're going to threaten me now with the thing I created?" Izzy smiled slightly, watching Olivia's face contort with anger. "I made you, you son of a bitch. Everything special about you came from my lab."
"You mean the lab that daddy funded for you? The lab that is full of daddy's knowledge? You are nothing but facts. Behind that, what do you have?"
"My dad is Tony Stark and my boyfriend is Spider-Man. I have a lot."
"You have a lot of people you can benefit from you mean?"
"What do you know? The only benefits you get is a shag and a shield!"
"I can fight! I can take down hundreds with just my bare hands, you give yourself up!"
"I saved that child!"
"You took the easy route and played victim. Again!"
"Oh because I'm the one who threw themselves off a cliff just so they could have the attention!"
"For once! For once, Izzy! The attention was on me! I had to die so people would look my way!"
"You have two girls shagging you! What're you complaining about?!"
"Oh you're mad cause you can only get one?"
"I'm mad because you ruined my relationship with him!"
"Do you know how ridiculous you sound?!"
"You're pathetic!"
"And you're not taking my powers away!"
"Oh yeah?" Izzy beamed her powers down on the shield and a white beam erupted through the lab. The two girls covered their eyes until the light died down and looked at the shield, a large crack running down the centre of it. Olivia gasped, and Izzy clenched her jaw.
"Are you happy now?" She asked, looking to Olivia with pained eyes. Olivia shook her head and walked to the door of the lab. Before she left, she turned to look at Izzy in the eye.
"You were the one person who I thought would never ever do this."
