Aaliyah Cohen and Maya Hansen were in a hotel room for the rest of the night and would continue driving the next day, Aaliyah was sitting on the bed talking to Emma before hanging up, Maya was looking out the window before sitting across from Aaliyah.

"What happened? Fun fact. Before he built rockets for the Nazis, the idealistic Wernher von Braun dreamed of space travel. He stargazed. Do you know what he said when the first V-2 hit London?" Maya asked, not thinking Aaliyah would actually answer.

"The rocket performed perfectly, it just landed on the wrong planet." Aaliyah replied, it was her favourite quote even though she had family who died that night when the rocket hit London, but Aaliyah wasn't even thought of let alone existed during the war.

"See, we all begin wide-eyed. Pure science. And then the ego steps in, the obsession. And you look up, you're a long way from shore." Maya was saying, Aaliyah smiled softly. "You can't be too hard on yourself, Maya. I mean, you gave your research to a think tank."

"Yeah, but Killian built that think tank on military contracts."

"That's exactly what we used to do. So, don't judge yourself." Aaliyah still had this niggling feeling that she shouldn't trust Maya and made sure that if anything happened her suitcase would self destruct, she had her Mk 7 in deep storage anyway.

"Thank you, Aaliyah, I really appreciate that." Maya said, she locked eyes with Aaliyah, who saw guilt and sorry in Maya's eyes, causing Aaliyah to frown, when there was a knock at the door, the two brunettes eyes trailed towards the door, Aaliyah stood up and walked towards it cautiously.

Aaliyah peered through the crack and saw that it was a waiter, and saw no-one else around. "Evening, do come in." said Aaliyah, she moved out the way and the man started pushing the trolley in when Killian appears out of nowhere and snaps the poor mans neck.

A gasp rose from Aaliyah as she back away horrified, she then turned on her heel and made a run towards the dresser. "Maya, run!" she finally managed to get to the dresser and grab the gun that was sitting under her coat, she grabbed the gun and turned but Killian's hand was already enclosed around her throat tightly and lifting her into a wall, her eyes wide as she stared into the eyes of Aldrich Killian, who's eyes were blazing with anger and hatred, causing her to drop the gun, Aaliyah knew that she was most likely choke to death in an instant, unless Killian let go as he held her against the wall opposite to him.

"Oh hello, Liyah. So nice to see you again, my darling. If you calm down I might actually let you be there for Christmas and for your daughter to watch her grow up," Killian turned to Maya, who had rose from the bed, he narrowed his eyes at her. "So, you want to tell me why you were at Stark's mansion last night?"

"I'm trying to fix this thing, I didn't know you and the master were going to blow the place up. I've told you Killian we can use her and Stark." Maya narrowed her eyes at Killian, he got annoyed at the gasping noises that were coming from Aaliyah causing him to slightly loosen his grip so she could breath. "Aaliyah, Aaliyah, Aaliyah." Killian said shaking his head
