My Marvel World

Chapter Two

Anna and Madeleine hugged Josephine tightly, standing on the jet platform. Serena and Anna had briefly checked in with Tony before letting Charlie and Josephine have their smallest jet, since it could maneuver the safest and look the least conspicuous. At least, that's what they hoped it would do.

"Be safe out there, okay?" Anna commanded Josephine, handing her a pocket knife with the words "Luck mit Ihnen" engraved on the hilt in German, a language that Madeleine and Anna spoke, which Josephine took gratefully and quickly tucked it in her boot.

Madeleine didn't say anything out loud, but everyone could tell that she was communicating telepathically with Josephine, as she handed her a loaded shotgun. Josephine nodded thankfully and placed it on the extra holster on her belt.

Serena even gave Josephine a small hug, even though she hated hugs to hell and back, uttering a quick, "Don't die out there, you still owe me that twenty bucks." Which was followed up by Serena's common mischievous smirk.

Then Anna turned to Charlie, giving him a hard stare. She handed him a Stark Taser, one of the weapons that she knew Fury wouldn't have given Charlie for the mission. Charlie took it, looking at Anna suspiciously, as if he expected her to have put a paint bomb in it or something. She actually had done that before, with the help of Serena, of course.

She watched as he attached it to the clasp on his 'weapons belt', as they called it, for lack of any better term.

"Don't get yourself killed out there." She stated simply, her hands on her hips firmly as she talked. "And watch your back. And Jose's back too. There's some crazy stuff out there in Rumlow's world. And, look, Jose might not say it out loud, but she trusts you, Storm."

Anna turned around and briskly walked towards the main hub area of the helicarrier, Serena walking right by her side. Even though Serena hadn't even approached Charlie to wish him luck or whatever it was that they were doing, he knew that Anna had said enough for the two of them. Plus, Serena wasn't all that sentimental of a person.

Madeleine didn't say anything this to Charlie, telepathically or otherwise, she just looked at both of the assassins, clapped Charlie on the shoulder with her gloved hand, and gave them one of those looks that she gave to her siblings. The one that just says, "Look, you annoy me sometimes, but I can't live without you, so don't you go off and die."

Then she turned around, snapped her fingers, and in a flash of red, was gone.

Josephine looked over at Charlie and simply said, "You better know how to fly the jet they gave us."
