☆» All Queen Visaena Hightower wanted, was to protect her children. Being married off at a young age to a man three times her senior changed her. She was a sweet and kind girl in her youth, but every little experience forced her to toughen up. She...

Visaena was still standing outside of the hospital when Jace found her. Her mind was all over the place, still seeing the shooter, Fury dying and now she started seeing small visions of colored stones. Her breathing quickened as she went over every thought in her mind.
"Mother, you must breathe." Her eldest son spoke to her. He stood in front of her, holding her arms in his hands trying to ground her. He found it odd, having to ground his mother, normally it was his sister. Visaena never used to struggle with visions. She would have the odd one here and there but they never meant anything. But recently it's like someone turned the dial to the max for her dreams.
"Jacaerys, why are you here?" Visaena questioned, her voice wavering slightly.
Jace's expression softened slightly, a rare occurrence. "Mother, I heard about the attack, and how it connects to your's and Eliana's visions. I couldn't stay away knowing you might need me."
Visaena took a deep breath, feeling a bit more grounded with Jace's presence. "Thank you, my boy. Your timing is impeccable."
Jace nodded, glancing back at the hospital entrance. "And besides, I needed a break from Celestria. The council meetings have been... tiresome." Visaena managed a small smile, appreciating his attempt to lighten the mood. She heard the hospital entrance open and saw her best friend rush out. Natasha barely glanced at her and Jace before rushing off to her car and speeding away. Visaena sighed, recalling the previous events. The woman decided she would go home, to check on her children.

The next day, after checking on her children. Visaena found herself at the hospital from the previous night, with Natasha. The woman picked her up, telling her to wear normal civilian clothing. Nat didn't tell Vis much, just that something was going on, and Steve knew something.
"What are we doing here Natalia?" Visaena asked with a sigh, crossing her arms. The redhead didn't answer. She put a dollar in the vending machine choosing a number. The gum dropped. She then chose the same number, but instead of more gum-dropping, a hard drive did. Natasha turned to Visaena a knowing smirk on her face. She pulled Visaena to the side, locking their arms together.
They waited in the shadows until Steve showed up. When he did Natasha revealed the two of them, standing in the reflection of the vending machine. Steve turns to the two women, Nat staring up at him, smugly chewing gum. Steve grabs the assassin by her arm dragging her into the dark room behind them.
"Where is it?" He urges. Visaena stands close to Natasha, with her arms crossed.
"Safe."
Steve looked between the two women, frustration evident in his voice. "Do better!"
Natasha, holding the flash drive, met his gaze coolly. "Where did you get it?"
