Chapter 16: "The Fire Elemental"

The next morning, I was getting out of the hotel, I was really tired I didn't got any sleep last night, I talked for hours with Fury and Aunty Hill. I approached Peter and Ned, they were talking about how glad Peter didn't have to go to Prague, until the teacher said we were going

– you Jinks it – I said to Peter, it was obvious he was going. Dimitri was riding our bus. As soon as I got into my seat, I fell asleep, I was so tired. That was until the bathroom stop

– Petrol and toilets. Ten minutes! – the teacher yelled, everyone got out, Peter stepped out before me and Dimitri stopped him, getting me stuck on the bus, Dimitri pointed to the bathrooms to Peter, and he went that way, than he gave me a necklece

– for your head, if Barton finds out we involved you in this, we are all dead – he said

– true, nanotech? – I asked

– yes, we only had enough for a mask, so Peter has a normal suit – he explained

– okay, can it connect to Chris? – I asked

– yes, you only need to ask her – he answered

– thank Fury from my part – I told Dimitri before going to the store, I went to a corner and put on the necklace, it was shorter than the heart one Tasha gave me

– Chris, you there? – I asked her

– always, you never let me take a rest – she answered

– yeah, yeah, can you connect to the necklace? – I asked her

– magic word? – she asked

– please? – I tried

– that's not it, but I already connected it – she answered

– thank you – I said taking a package of cookies nearby. I pay for them and got in the bus to fall asleep again, I know you may be wondering how I fall asleep again, but I was up all night talking and catching up with Aunty Hill and Fury, so don't blame me.

When we got to our hotel in Prague, we entered the reception, it was a really nice hotel – Everyone get settled in, rest up because tonight, big surprise, is Prague's annual... Carnival of Lights – the teacher said, but honestly, I stopped paying attention, Peter got a call and I wanted to know who it was from

– hello? – Peter said answering, and I just realized I can't eavesdrop the call because I can't hear who's calling

– Uh, yes, ma'am – Peter agreed after a while and then hung up, Ned went to Peter but at this point I got bored so I just started paying attention at the teacher. I went to my room, and if Peter thought I didn't knew they were meeting, he was really wrong, I would have gone with him, but I was honestly tired and neither Fury or Aunty Hill told me I needed to come in, so I just slept a bit more. That was until I got a call, stupid phone, I reached for my phone and answered

– You know Hill, I was sleeping so this better be important – I said

– Sorry for waking you up – she said

– you aren't sorry – I said – just go to the location we gave you and make an excuse – she said

– yeah, yeah, I'm on my way – I said hanging up, I got out of bed and opened the door

– Chris what's our next excuse? – I asked

– Clint need you? – Chris suggested

– no, we can't, he's one of my emergency's contacts, they can call him – I said
