Chapter 10

"What?" Anne asked incredulously. "Your eyes are grey. Slate grey like the fog." Anne took some shakey breaths, "No, no! Not again!" 

"Wha-what? What can I do? Whats happening?" Kylie asked, scared half to death. Anne hands started to glitch out like she was in the wrong universe, "Kylie, you need to leave! Get everyone and get to the tower! Now!" Anne tried to stand but had no strength, "Go!" She screamed.

Kylie started crying as she ran towards her house. She opened the door and saw Loki sitting next to- no, there was no time to worry about that. Her best friend was outside on the street corner, probably dying. "Anne'sglitchedoutandhereyesareglowinggreyandshewantseveryonetogettothetower!" Kylie screamed and she collapsed onto Clint. "Slow down." Bucky said, "Explain again." 

Kylie took a breath, "Anne's gliches out and her eyes are glowing grey. She wants us to get to the tower.

"Sir, we're picking up some strange pressure readings on the radar." A control room worker radioed Nick Fury, "Is it a storm?" Fury replied. "No sir. Its on the ground." 

"Send a team out for investigation." Fury told Maria, "You go with them and keep a sharp eye out for the cause of this."

"Sir, it's on the move." The man radioed back, "Its moving at  2 miles per hour and the pressure system is increasing." 

"Maria, cancel and access the street cameras." Fury commanded. Maria tapped the key board for a moment, "Director Fury. You're going to want to see this." Fury looked over her shoulder, "What is that?" He asked. "... Anne..." Maria answered.

Clint ran into the room, "Fury, we need help." "Let me guess, your friend and one of our trainies is on the loose creating a pressure system and you need to know why."

"Yes." Loki said, "Whats going on?" "We cant know anything unless we bring her here and figure it out that way." Maria answered.

"Then do it." Brook said, "Get her in here and fix it." "And how do you suggest that we do that, Miss Stark?" Fury questioned.

"Do anything you can." Kylie said. "Miss Johnstone, she is a dangerous threat as of right now who poses a threat to everyone in this city. She is our target."

Everyone fell silent. Target. Their friend was now their target. "Drop the net over the top of her from the chopper and bring her in." Fury said into a radio. "Yes sir."

Everyone sat still, waiting to hear the report of what happened to her. "Sir, the net is deployed, but shes unconscious now and the pressure has dropped." Maria said. "Bring her in and put her into a cell." Bruce said.

"What's the cause of this Bruce?" Clint asked, the one the most worried. "Could be a reaction to stress or worry or simply something shes purposely triggered as a terrorist act. The probability of the first option is the most likely, but we wont know till we run some tests." "Your calling her a terrorist? My Girlfriend is not a terrorist!"

"Clint, 20 minutes ago, you said it was over, and she left the house in a huff, but now shes your girlfriend?" Brook asked.  "I never said it was, I said I thought it was." "She heard you! And now she thinks it's over!" "That isn't my fault!" "She's destroying herself because of you!" 

Clint fell silent. He realized what he had done. In his desprate attempt to follow orders, he had fallen in love with a girl he didnt want, and then he lost her because he was so afraid to. "She's waking up." Bruce said. Everyone left the room to go see her, everyone except Clint. She probably didn't want to see him, and it hurt. Clint sighed and followed everyone else.
