Solstice

Chapter 10 -Little Irish Man

Summer's POV

As my sister made a dramatic entrance like the diva she is not, Natasha and I reluctantly followed while rolling our eyes.

"So what's the news?'

Bruce takes off his glasses and says "Good or Bad News?" like in all of those cliché movies where a worried Augustus Water asks about the health of Hazel Grace.

I say bad while my sister, of course, says good. We look at each other and I send her a telepathic message:

Are we gonna do this?

It's the only way to settle this.

And so we start the dreadful rock, paper scissors. The reason why I hate it is simple: we are telepathic and identical twins., it ends up in a draw every single time. After 7 matches (with a tie everytime) Natasha intervenes and says "Your choice Doc."

Bruce starts, but Director Fury interrupts him.

"Well the good news is that we have located one of of AW's main HQS, with the help of Mr. Stark's-"

"Tony," interrupts Tony. He gets pissed when someone calls him 'Mr. Stark' or 'Edward' which is actually his middle name.

"-Anthony's," ( forgot that one) continues Fury, almost breaking a smile, "newest technology."

"And the bad news?" Autumn inquires.

"Well," starts Bruce, "The locator in your neuro-cranial area has affected the CSF, which gives AW a highly accurate image of where you are. It is made up of an alloy of Titanium, Diamond, and Vibranium, which makes it nearly indestructible. The only way that we would be able to take if off is 100% lethal."

"Say what now?" Steve asks. I don't blame the fellow. I come from the 21st century yet I have no idea what Jolly Green Giant said.

I say, "You lost me as well."

Tony comes over to me and starts, "Well, the thingy-ma-bod that's in Autumn's neck has a GPS and it can't go boom! Capiche?"

"You know what else can't go boom? My fist as it goes through your face!"

Somewhere in the house JARVIS says, "I think that is a burn and you have to apply cold water for it to heal."

Natasha & Clint burst out laughing while Autumn say, "He got you there Tony!"

Tony snorts, tries to look cool (it works for him somehow, maybe because he is a quadrillionaire who is a world renown super hero) and then swears at JARVIS.

I burst out laughing and say, "You're swearing at your own invention, not helping your reputation at all!"

After an hour, Autumn ask, "So, Director, where is this HQ?"

"That is classified, we are sending the Avengers in."

At that moment, I was drinking some water and I couldn't control myself, so I spit it all out on the Incredible Hulk (whoops!)

"Why?" I ask, "I understand that Autumn can't go because she has the GPS thingy, but come on, why can't I go?"

"We don't know if the boys are working with AW and we don't want to take any risks of exposing yourselves to them."

"Fine," I state, "But if the Avengers can't handle it, don"t come back running to me!" I say, walking out of the room, slamming the door (by mistake, I swear).

Autumn's POV

As my sister walked out of the room, I could feel all eyes on me.

"Hey, don't look at me!"

"You know you should probably go talk to her before she destroys half of San Francisco," says Clint.

"That would be a great idea," I respond, leaving the attic.

Before going outside, I notice that the weather changed and along with it, a thick fog appeared. Now, I normally don't feel the cold, but something was different today, I ran upstairs, grab a hoodie and run outside.

As I'm walking, shivers suddenly crawl up my spin. Someone's following me. I turn around and I see a blonde bob of hair disappears around the corner.

Strange. I think.

Not wanting to meet my stalker, I cry out telepathically, Summer! Where are you?

I wait a minute before getting a major headache. I get a reply, but I couldn't make anything out of it, so I start heading towards the Bridge, where it came from. And suddenly my head ache gets worse. Ignoring my pain, I call a cab, thinking that I could lose my follower.

As I get to the Bridge, my head is throbbing and now my neck hurts. Great! I pay the taxi driver and cross the street, not wanting to wait for the light to change red and then green again.

I see my sister sitting down on the dock so I run over to her.

"Hey," I say.

"Hi."

"What's up?"

"The sky, genius. Other then that, nothing much."

"Oh really?" seeing that she didn't want to talk about what happened at HQ, I decide to change the subject, "You know you still haven't told me what happened at the beach club"

"I'll tell you."

"Okay." A moment of silence. "So, you gonna tell me?"

My answer is a killer silence.

"So," starts Summer, "What do you wanna do today?"

"I don't know what do you wanna do today?"

"Are we really doing this again?"

"I guess so."

"Okay, I don't want to start this yet again. Let's just go for a walk."

"Good idea."

As we make our way through the fog, my headache gets worse and worse, making me feel woozy.

"Hey are you okay ?" Summer asks ,concern written on her face.

"I'm fine, just a small headache," I say, flashing a smile.

"If you say so."

And suddenly, we hear a very familiar voice: "Shut up you mofo!"

Summer and I exchange glances, before she says, "Niall, you little Irish man!"
