The Wielder Of Ember

Odd Signals Chapter 8

Rory was on the sofa eating Ice Cream which she had poured some Vodka into and was sulking over yet another failed Date

she just wanted someone to stay. wanted a partner... someone she could lean on and vis versa however no one wanted to stay longer for a night like tonight she was sulking, hurt and angry

she did have her older sister and the team who she has gotten close with over the last year since the battle of New York as people had taken to calling it

she hadn't really heard from Thor but knew at one point he'd appear and they'd go off to Asgard where she'd get her answers to the mystery that was her sword

speaking of her sword it had begun to get weird at times it lit up for no reason appeared when she just thought about it and even just flew across a room one time on a mission and killed an enemy she didn't even think or do anything it just threw its self

Rory wasn't even halfway threw her Vodka/Ice cream when her phone went off she pulled it out and saw it was Maria so she hit answer

hey bestie what's up -Rory

hi. how was the date -Maria

don't even go there -Rory

same as always -Maria said sadly

yeah. don't get me wrong I had fun but is it so wrong to want more than a little fun to maybe have someone an Equal or partner -Rory

no, it's not and one day your meet the lucky girl who will do just that she could just be right around the corner -Maria

well tell her to hurry up am sick of the heartbreak and mopping -Rory

your eating a tub mixed with Ice Cream and Vodka right now aren't you -Maria

it's kinda scary how well you know me sometimes -Rory sighs a little

how far are you -Maria

not even halfway... why what are you up to Hill -Rory

how about a distraction -Maria

Rory pauses in her eating

i could use a distraction -Rory

there are these strange readings we've picked up. we're not really sure what it is but its nothing good. i was gonna send some Agents but if your up for it -Maria

I'll do it. I'll suit up and go check it out. send me the Address -Rory

will do I'll send you a jet -Maria

a Jet -Rory

oh yeah. you're going to London -Maria

Rory hangs up and puts her Ice Cream back as well as her Vodka before going off to Suit up

A Few Hours Later

Rory was now on her bike driving off and her scanner picked up a strange Energy source and according to her scanner it was similar to Loki's scepter

Rory was driving at pretty high speeds weaving in between cars and wondering what the hell Maria had gotten her into and going where the Scanner was pointing her to go

Rory cursed when the signal dropped she pulled over and begin tapping away on her scanner trying to pick it up again

come on -Rory mutters working away when her phone goes off she sees it's her sister and pulls up the text
