Chapter 7: Weapon X and Goddesses

There was a short silence while everyone processed that piece of information, then Black Widow went on to explain about Weapon X.

"Weapon X is a part of the Canadian military and specialises in mutant experimentation".

"Yes it is" chimed in a new voice.

Everyone's heads turned in the direction of the bed. Sitting upon it was a woman with hair the colour of fresh soil, bright blue eyes and a face that looked like many statues had been modelled after it. She was wearing an ivy-green dress with a forest green rope tied around her waist. In her hair, she had flowers and jewels twirled within and on her face she had a kind expression but sorrowful eyes.

"Who are you?" demanded Fury.

The woman smiled at him, "I am known by many names nut you would know me best as Gaia".

"A-as in the ancient earth goddess?" asked Reid, from somewhere in the crowd.

"Correct. Maybe we should all go to your briefing room for me to explain more" said Gaia.

"But what about the Weapon X woman?" asked Doctor Strange.

"Get Richards and Pym to put her in the infirmary. We'll interrogate her when she wakes up" ordered Fury to Black Widow. Black Widow then pushed herself through the crowd as said crowd moved towards the briefing room. Fury ordered two SHIELD agents to watch over the unconscious woman.

Briefing Room

"Now, I do not have a lot of time so I shall keep things brief" said Gaia after everyone had taken a seat. "The woman's name is Ingrid Bylitt and as you already know, she was a Weapon X operative. Therefore Ariana Howlett was never a part of the FBI's BAU. Information that I have gotten a hold of, tells me that Weapon X may be interested in government secrets".

"Government secrets? Sorry lady, but that ain't their style" said Wolverine with his arms crossed.

"I trust my sources" replied Gaia.

"And just who are these sources?" demanded Fury.

"It does not matter but my sources are not corrupt and are totally loyal to Ariana" answered Gaia calmly. When Fury moved to respond, she raised her hand. "I do not have enough time to argue with you. Ariana will explain everything in time.

"As I was saying, my sources believe that Weapon X used Ariana's identity for government secrets. We believe that they were going to arrange it for 'Ariana' to 'die' during a shoot out between FBI and SHIELD forces and some mercenaries employed under Weapon X. The resulting 'body' is signed off for burial but actually taken by Weapon X. My sources have also located the third woman in a warehouse downtown, but it is heavily defended by Weapon X operatives. You will most definitely need Ariana's help" stated Gaia.

"How are we supposed to get a missing woman's help?" asked Siryn.

"Ask Ariana's three children for help" said Gaia.

"Wait, since when has Ari had three kids?" questioned Sabretooth. "I didn't even know she had had one, let alone three!"

Gaia was silent until she responded with, "I do not know why Ariana did not tell you but she must have her reasons. You must trust her to give you the answers you seek."

"That aside, what good will she be anyway?" questioned Captain America.

At this Gaia smiled pleasantly. "I believe that Ariana has certain... talents that are most useful for your situation."

"What is this? Give Confusing Answers Day?" wondered Spider-Man, throwing his arms up in exasperation.

Gaia ignored him, stood up and put a piece of paper on the table. "On this note, this is the address of the warehouse where the woman is being held. Also the name of Ariana's firstborn is on there". She turned and said without looking over her shoulder "You might want to cover your eyes now". She than began to glow golden. Everyone except Bast and Thor covered their eyes.

A few seconds later Bast said "You can look now".

"What the hell was that?" asked Morgan after moving his hands away from his eyes.

"When gods transport, they turn into their original form which is pure energy. If any mortal looks upon a god at this time, then they burn up" put in Bast. "This can also happen when gods transform form one form to another, which is why I went out into the hallway."

Deadpool's eyes fell onto the note that was still on the table untouched and grabbed it.

It read:

26 Pearl Street

Brooklyn, New York

11201 USA

M. Howlett

Scotland Yard, London

England

Siryn read it out to the group after Deadpool refused to and muttered something about 'Finders Keepers'. Suddenly, a SHIELD agent came into the room and spoke to Fury. After the agent left, Fury said "Apparently the woman who pretended to be Ari Howlett, Ingrid Bylitt, is insane."

"How?" asked Hotch.

"It seems that Howlett's memories were a bit too much for the woman and she snapped" answered Fury.

"What are we going to do about Ari, her firstborn and the third woman?" asked Reid.

"Go to bed and we'll figure it out tomorrow" replied Fury, walking out the door.
