Misunderstood

Twenty-One

Sophie folded her arms on the desk, watching a group on the 25th floor, start screaming as she released the traps. She couldn't help but chuckle at them, as hundreds of fake spiders, of all shapes and sizes, rained down on them from the ceiling.

She checked on the next group on the floor above, seeing that they were making their way through the offices... 'Tony will probably kill me, but I don't care..'.. She hits a code, and seconds later foam explodes out of the ceiling tiles, encasing the group. They all began to slip and fall about, as the sticky substance began to quickly dry on them.

She heard Bruce chuckle next to her, and she turned her head, giving him a kiss... 'Don't worry, no one will be seriously injured, or killed. I'm actually live streaming this to Fury right now. I wish I could see his face..'

Bruce shook his head, smiling at her. They two turn back to her screen, as she takes on the last group. They were on the 31st floor, the first of her lab floor... 'Do you have traps for every floor?'

'Of course. Tony doesn't need to worry about clean up or paying for repairs, I'll take care of it..'... She tapped another key, speaking for them all to hear her.

'Well then ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to surrender? Because I have plenty more to come. Hey Fury, how about you come face me yourself, instead of sending in your puppets?'.... She typed in another code and the third team were blasted with a gas from above.

She heard them coughing, shouting they were going to die, until their voices became high pitched. She covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing out loud, as the third team began falling to the floor, laughing hysterically, and blurting out a few home truths.

'What was in that?'... Bruce asks her, fighting back his own laugh.

'A mixture of laughing gas and truth serum I created. It's not actual truth serum, but it subdues certain signals in your brain, and when youre that high, you pretty much say what's on your mind..'... She watched the first team, drop down a floor, as if they were retreating.

She tapped into SHIELD, hearing Furys orders and she smiled triumphantly. The second team were struggling to walk, and ended up waddling down the stairs, so she spoke through the tower again... 'Don't worry you lot, it only lasts a few hours. Hope you don't need the bathroom before then...'

The third team had dropped their weapons, and were wobbling all over the place, laughing and joking. She could hear how pissed off Fury was, issuing more orders.

Sophie shook her head, and turned her chair to Bruce... 'You'd think he'd learn to stop underestimating me..'.. She turned back to her screen, and sat up straight. Getting into SHIELDs system was easy, and she connected herself to their monitors, waving at them all.

'Well hello you lovely people. I do apologise for pulling pranks on your agents, but your director has been warned. I am Dr Sophie Connors, I have an alter ego called Tia, and let me tell you, she is more deadly than Hulk, though I can promise you, she's not the one you should be worried about. And no, that's not a threat, that's just advice...'

She saw Fury give commands about tracking her, and she laughed... 'Oh Nicholas, you have been told before, how good I am. I'm already in your systems, I'm already uploading the footage of you breaking and entering into the tower, threatening my family, and also disobeying direct orders from the president. I've sent it across to him already. It's been lovely, getting to know you. As for the rest of you, I can assure you, you are in no danger from any of us, unless you come for my family. Harm them, threaten them and there is no dark hole you can hide in, where I won't find you..'
