Shifted Souls - Volume 2

Chapter 5: Ask Fatal Attraction What He Was Doing?

Tony was kissing her. She relaxed into the kiss and returned it. When he ran his tongue against her lips, and she opened to him she captured his moan and right then and there she really wished he wasn't wearing the Ironman suit. It was not conducive to this type of activity. Just as that thought went through her head, he pulled away from her and leaned his forehead against hers. "You are gonna be the death of me woman." She startled at his words and jerked back a look of horror on her face. "Please don't ever say that." Tony blinked at the look on her face and the way she spoke. He lifted a brow, "is there something you need to tell me Izz?"

Crap. Izzie shook her head knowing there was a whole plethora of things she wanted to tell him, but she had no idea what to tell him. These were the things that could not only change the future but could very possibly end whatever it was between them. Friendship, love, soulmate, none of those things would be able to survive the amount of lying she was going to have to do to not screw up things more than they already were.

Lizzie didn't realize she was looking up at Tony with large eyes in that expressive face he loved so much and was spilling her secrets, just with her reactions. "If you won't tell me what's going on do I need to head back over and ask Fatal Attraction what the hell he was doing?" He watched Lizzie blink and then she narrowed her eyes at him. "No." She lifted that defiant little chin he loved so much and stood waiting for her to continue speaking. "If you see him again you need to just avoid him. You know there are things I can't tell you yet. He is one of those things. He shouldn't be in our lives yet. That much I will tell you. All I can think that means is that I have screwed something up somewhere." She lifted her hands and held her head like she thought it would burst.

Tony had found out from the doctors he had hired that while she was in the hospital the last time that the only precursor they had to her seizure was an extreme headache. He watched her closely afraid everything that had happened might tip her into another seizure. Especially since they still had no clue why it had occurred. "Come on Izz, let's get you inside, we aren't going to solve anything standing out here." Her head nodded and she took a step towards the house and Tony's outstretched hand, before she took his hand she stopped, and she narrowed her eyes at him again. "Wait. Is this just a way to get me inside and out of the way so you can zip back over there and try to find Bu...the guy?"

Now Tony's eyes narrowed in suspicion. She was definitely hiding something. She knew who this was, or her hitch hiker knew who it was. "Speaking of 'the guy', who the hell is Bucky and why are you so hot to save him?"

Lizzie froze. This was not good. Her head was splitting, and she was still half way in the middle of the adrenaline high from the confrontation with Buck. She told Lizzie to tread carefully until they had a chance to figure out what to say that wouldn't screw things up. "Why do you think I'm so 'hot' to save him?" She groaned in their head, 'Wow Izz you suck at this.' Lizzie could literally see Kaitlynn roll her eyes. Wait... Lizzie doubled over and grabbed her head. Only Tony's quick movements kept her from slamming into the driveway on her knees.

"Izzie!" Tony's cry filled her ears as she was swamped with images from Kaitlynn's mind. Her body convulsed in his arms and blood was running from her nose and mouth. In her mind she could feel Kaitlynn having the same reaction. They were mirroring one another physically and spiritually as too much information swamped them at once. It was like something had literally blown a hole in the dam that had kept their memories to a slow trickle.

Tony screamed for J.A.R.V.I.S to contact emergency services. Pepper and Happy appeared in the doorway of the house and ran to see if they could help him keep Lizzie from harming herself during the seizure. "Keep her from swallowing her own tongue Boss." Happy was yanking off his jacket to put it under her head. Well, to keep Tony's hand from bouncing off the sidewalk as he tried to stop Lizzie from harming herself.
