Survivors

Plan of action

'As far as I can hear, the kids will be dropped tomorrow, their destination a military base called 'Mount Weather'. I say. 'That's in the midst of the Blue ridge mountains, Virginia' Scott says, 'I took the kids camping there once, thick forest surrounds, calm lake and solid terrain, there was tons of picnic and tent spaces, we could try and locate a patch and land there.' I look to Scott and nod, 'Okay good Idea'. 'Jarvis could you bring up a satellite view of the Blue ridge Mountains in Virginia. We all look to the live footage and notice it is untouched. 'Okay, Jarvis could you lock on to any movement from the arc and notify us through coms about any shuttles being dropped, please?' I ask, 'Yes I will notify all members present in this room' He replies. Everyone leaves the bridge.

I corner Tony and ask 'Since Loki can jump possibly to and from one ship to another I was just wondering If it would be a bad Idea to see if I could get aboard the ship with those kids, you know try to befriend them' I ask. 'NO absolutely not, that would be insane!' He tries to quietly shout, 'Oh come on dad, I could easily fool them into thinking I'm a criminal and get a free ride down, befriending them, giving you the thumbs up to fully land down there, we both know that my powers can discretely protect the ship from blowing up on re-entry' I state firmly. He looks defeated. 'Okay fine, but I want Loki to go with you and to make sure you get on that ship and then come back do you understand me?' He responds, 'Yes dad, I promise I understand' I say as I kiss his cheek.

I walk out of the bridge and try to find Loki. I roam level by level and everywhere seems empty, I close my eyes, breathe deeply and whisper 'Loki'. I open my eyes and look upon his face. Tousled black hair, green eyes and pale skin, his smirk on full display 'yes my dear?' He asks, 'How can I be of assistance?' 'Well...' I start. I explain to him my crazy plan, half expecting him to refuse.

'So what do you think?' I ask nervously. 'Can you help me do it?' He nods. 'Of course I can help you, It is just a case of making you seem like an average teenager' He responds. 'When do we leave?' He asks. I smile and head down to engineering. I locate Tony sitting at his workbench. 'Dad, you okay?' I ask softly, He picks his head up and nods towards me. He spins his laptop round and shows me that each delinquent has their own file, which links up to a barcode on their skin. He shows me the file he created for me including how my 'parents' were killed and how I stole medicine to save my sick best friend who later died. He shows me the kind of clothes to re create and he gives me a bracelet, similar to the ones created on the arc, so that instead of relaying information to the arc, I can use it as a communication band for home ship. I hug Tony tightly and kiss his cheek, 'I love you dad' I say turning around to leave.

 I find Pepper and walk straight into her arms, I am held tightly as she kisses my head 'Be safe, don't take too many risks, and be cautious around those kids, when you reach the surface, they may run around like crazy rabbits, so don't forget protection' She laughs and comments, kissing my head again as I turn bright red. I walk back to the bridge and notice the team is ready to meet me there. Steve holds out my backpack to me. I take it, put it on my back and start to say my goodbyes and hugs. 'What's in it?' I ask him 'Essentials' he states and hugs me again firmly.

'Ready?' Loki asks. 'Make sure we are invisible and not able to be heard okay?' I ask He nods his head grabs my hand as I wave to everyone.

I close my eyes and open them aboard the arc.
