For the first time in the history of Newyorker group and Newyorker Mansion, Danny had woken up early. He was wearing his usual blue hoodie jacket and a blue tie-dye shirt with a white lightning bolt design. However, he wasn't the first one awake.
He walked up towards the storage room door, scanned his finger on the panel below the light switch and descended to the basement through the elevator. He walked out and was shocked to see pillows and blankets thrown around the room.
"Ava, start the deactivation process," Shuri said, placing a small piece of vibranium in a white and transparent machine on the table, which was covered in half of her lab.
"Of course princess," Ava's voice said in the speakers, and a small metallic arm with a glowing blue tip descended from the top of the machine. Shuri watched intensively as a blue pulse of sound waves shot out from the arm.
"Uhhh, Shuri?' Danny asked a little confused
Shuri flinched, turning on her bracelets and activating her gauntlets. She got up on her legs and spun around pointing her gauntlets at Danny, who now had his hand in the air. Shuri let out a sigh of relief, and the Nanites of her gauntlets retracted back into her bracelets.
"Did you sleep down here?" Danny asked, looking around the room.
"For a few hours yeah, but I don't think I'll be able to get a full night's sleep until I finish this," She said, getting back to her work.
"Speaking of, what are you doing down here so early, you're not usually an early bird," Shuri asked noticing that it was 7:43 am
"I'm working on something," Danny replied, putting his bag on the clustered table and pulling out a black pouch that contained the pieces of the broken emp arrow from their first mission. He placed the pouch on the table, sped into the armoury, grabbed the arrow that Monica brought him and returned only to see that Shuri's papers were now scattered around the table.
"Try to warn me next time you do that," Shuri complained.
"Sorry," Danny said and rounded up all of the papers at super speed before handing them to Shuri.
He sat down opposite her and placed the pieces of the broken arrow on the table along with Clint's arrow.
"Is that what I think it is?" Shuri asked to which Danny responded with a nod
"I thought the mech explosion destroyed it!" Shuri exclaimed, jumping out of her blanket seat to check it out.
"I managed to collect some of the broken pieces before we left," Danny clarified and placed the broken pieces in an order that somewhat resembled an arrow before noticing something on the arrow tip. The almost hollow head had been cut in half vertically, and on the inside was a small metallic rectangle with a blinking red light. A tracking device.
"Shit," Danny said, dropping the arrow tip.
"Don't worry, this place can't be bugged, I upgraded the security myself," Shuri reassured
Reluctantly, Danny picked up the arrow tip and removed the tracking device. He flipped it over, seeing two barely visible words covered in sud. He rubbed it off with his fingers and read "Bishop Security'' on the device. He remembered that name. It was on the trucks from the auction house. Did Derek Bishop help them destroy the mech? No, it wouldn't make sense. He wouldn't destroy his own tech. Danny promised himself he would figure it out later, and started disassembling Clint's arrow. From what he could tell the circuitry and build or the arrows were very similar.
"Hey Ava," Danny called out
"Yes Danny" She replied
"Can you run two simulations at once?" He asked
