Playing Games (Stark's Daughter 4)

Chapter 3

I pull the metal sleeve onto my wrist and clasp it shut, locking the metal into place.

I then race my palm forward and the metal on my fingers open to reveal little bullets that shoot out like fireworks and smash through the glass in front of me.

Zeke sprints down the glass stairs, his hands over his head.

"What are you doing?" He asks, I've heard that question lots of times.

"Testing my new suit design."

"Really? While your 6 year old brother is here? You're impossible." He asks, shaking his head.

"I can't be impossible, I exist. You mean Im unpredictable. But you love me really." I tease.

"I do. I try not to do but i do."

My phone beeps in my pocket.

"Can you, please. I can't cause of the metal?" I ask, looking hopefully at Zeke. He smiles and steps forward, pulling my phone out of my pocket and answering it.

"Hello? Zeke Matthews." He says.

"Yes, I'll pass you over." He says and hands me the phone.

"Hello?" I ask.

"It's Thor."

"Hey, how's Idun?" I ask.

"Thanks to you telling the doctors, she's fine. You were right."

"How's Kara?"

"Kara is terrified and she believes we should go home." He admits.

"Home? To asgard?" I question.

"She believes it is for the best."

"But that's what Loki wants! He's in New York anyway so going home doesn't mean you're going to be safer." I point out.

"We very to discuss it."

"But Idun is okay?"

"Yes, she's stable but is sleeping." He explains.

"Okay, thanks for the update." I reply.

"I will talk to you tomorrow."

"Bye." I say and put the phone down. I pass it back to Zeke and he places it on my desk.

"He's going home?" He asks.

"Most probably. I tried to persuade him." I reply.

"Are you going to tell the Avengers?"

"Yep, tomorrow." I reply.

I spin around, twisting my arm around and blasting the shot glasses off the shelf on the other side of the room. I smile as they shatter into a thousand pieces.

"Yay!" I excitedly shout.

"Shush! Aiden is sleeping." He points out.

"Sorry." I reply, getting the screw driver out and unclasping the wrist brace and pull it off.

"Is Lucas and Hope asleep?"

"Lucas might be but Hope isn't." Zeke explains.

"I'll go check on Aiden." I say, placing through wrist glove onto the desk and walking upstairs.

I knock on one of the spare bedrooms, wait or a reply but don't get one so i open the door. Toy cars and toy dinosaurs scatter the carpet floor, Aiden is spread out on his stomach, his head facing me. Fast asleep. I tiptoe over and scoop him into my arms, then i place Aiden on the double bed and pull the blanket over his sleeping body as he starts to snore lightly. I turn off the lights and close the door behind me as i walk out.
