Project X

Part 31

Tony was fixing one of the pipes of Avengers Headquarters when he received the alarm. He was laying on his back in his iron man suit, welding two pieces of metal pipe together. Just then a loud beeping sounded throughout his helmet. "Unauthorized access i-into computer," FRIDAY glitched. Tony's eyes widened.

 "Oh god," he breathed. "FRIDAY, initiate lockdown of Stark Mansion," Tony remarked, jumping out from under the pipe. FRIDAY glitched and went silent. "FRIDAY?!" he yelled, no answer.

 "Oh no," he whispered to himself, and quickly flew to his house. Once he reached Stark Mansion he raced inside and ran down into the basement where his lab lay. The first thing he noticed was Morgan unconscious on the chair. "Morgan?!" Tony yelled and ran over to her. 

After he tugged and pulled the collar off her neck he laid her over to the corner. Tony turned and stared at Sarah who was just standing there as if waiting for something. "You know your daughter was insanely easy to manipulate," Sarah said, smirking, "such a shame that you added a self destruct ability to your house." Tony sucked in breath. "How did you-?" he muttered. Sarah's face stayed emotionless.

 "That's not the point, but you know better than I do that you have five minutes to get out of this house or it will collapse on you," she stated. Tony set his jaw. "I really don't want to do this, Sarah," he started. "but you left me no choice."

 Tony flew up and shot forwards towards Sarah and smashed her in the wall. "Ok you're going to do it this way," she uttered, " fine by me." Sarah turned on her jets and grabbed Tony by the arms and propelled him backwards.

 He attempted to blast her but Sarah dodged the attack. She hurled three electrical knives towards his suited chest. The suit electrocuted for a split second before Tony recovered control. He dived forward and pinned Sarah to the ground. 

Turning her jets off she quickly jumped out from under Iron Man's grasp and began to fight him on foot. Tony swung a few punches at her head in which Sarah dodged. She then thrusted two chords at his arms, circling around his fists the chords held them apart. Sarah jumped over him, landing on his back she began to force her vibranium knives through the back of the suit. 

Trying to pull free from the ropes, Tony blasted randomly in front of him. Breaking free from the ropes he threw Sarah off of him. Sparks flew from his suit in the back. "FRIDAY, damage report?" he asked but no answer came. "FRIDAY?" he kept on.

 "What did you do to FRIDAY?!" Tony yelled at Sarah, blasting her in the stomach. The blast pushed her back but barely affected her. "I think that is the least of your problems," she answered. Tony looked around as part of his lab was under flames and he could feel his house above him crumbling from the self destruction mode. 

Before he knew it a jolt of electricity ran through the suit. Sarah threw a knife right at the back where she stabbed at. He tried to blast her but nothing came out of his iron fist. Sarah looked above her as she felt the shaking of the house falling. "Nice seeing you, Stark," Sarah said and flew away.

Sarah flew a distance away, far enough to escape suspicion, but close enough to hear the sirens already enclosing the crumbles that once stood as Stark mansion. She then landed on the rendezvous point Felix assigned. Already there waiting for her were the usual black vans. Felix walked up to her and looked her dead in the eyes. "Mission Accomplished, X" he said, and which he normally now called her ,X, as a nickname she didn't understand. 

When PLEA trained Sarah, they trained to work solely alone. Once an assignment started Sarah would target her objective and fall into a disposition of complete focus towards her mission. Not taking in any other voices only the persons the commission was directed around. Growing stronger in the ability of this special training, she became more dangerous and powerful than ever. 

Sarah would then unleash from the mental hold with the two simple words, Mission Accomplished. Felix and the other PLEA members exclusively trained her to be this way for she can achieve the assignment with more speed and precision. Once the words escaped Felix's mouth, Sarah's muscles relaxed and she walked to one of the vans waiting for her to be medically checked.

Later that day the destruction of Stark mansion was found all over the news. Sarah was told to be in the boardroom for a synopsis of the former mission. She found a seat where she usually sat around the long metal table. Felix sat at the end with Ms. Carter beside him.

 "With the succes in this assignment we are ready to move on to a large step in the plan," says he, smirking. Sarah looked interested. "What step may that be?" she asked. Felix smiled, "I'm glad you ask. Meet suited in the control room tomorrow 8:00 am." Sarah nods.

 Ms. Carter looked uncomfortable. Sarah then stood up and walked out. Felix leaned back in the leather chair and looked as Ms.Carter. "She worked out perfectly did she not?" he asked and laid his hand over Ms. Carter's. 

She inhaled and pulled her hand away. "Yes I knew she would. I had no doubt," Ms. Carter answered and stood up. Felix also stood up and took her hand again. She looked down. It was silent until Felix moved closer and lifted her chin up with his hands and stared into her eyes. Ms.Carter tries not to look at his bright green eyes but couldn't help herself. "You're my favorite coworker, you know that, Sharon?" Felix whispered. 

She blushed but didn't pull back. "Well I'm the only intellectual one that's for sure,"Ms. Carter added. Felix smiled. She kept telling herself that he is the enemy, that he was only there to destroy the avengers, but she was slowly getting sucked in. 

Ms.Carter quickly looked away and tugged her hand from his grasp. "I think we should keep everything strictly professional ,Felix," she said. 

Felix tightened his jaw. "Well I don't think that," he responds and grabs Ms. Carter kissed her.She knew this was wrong, having romantic relationships with the enemy, but she let into the temptation and kissed Felix back.His hands rested on her neck and slid down to her shoulders. Ms.Carter then pulled back. 

She placed her hands on his and pulled them away from herself. She looked up at him. Her face full of shame mixed with comfort. She felt ashamed that she kissed the enemy but at the same time she liked it. Ms. Carter sighs and looks down. Felix was smirking. "I uh I should go," Ms. Carter finished and quietly walked away. He watches her go.
