Nora PoV:
I ran onto the bridge to find Maria or Phil or Nick but they were no where. Where the heck were they!
Agents were running around left right and centre trying to fight the people coming in.
Just then I heard trench coat,
'Xs we could use some back up upstairs like now'
'On my way'
I ran as fast as I could upstairs. Stopping at the armoury on the way. What! I needed something. No I was not going to kill them. Just maim or seriously injure.
When I got there I saw three of Deadstones army in Maria. I ran over and knocked them to the ground.
"We need a way to get them out of here!" She shouted, "any ideas?"
"Nope!"
Then Phil and trench coat joined us.
"There's a dampener in the main control room that turns on power dampening signals that run through the building." Shouts trench coat
"If you can get to it it will stop their powers. Make this a fair fight."
I nodded and sped off.
I got to the control room and was about to phase the lock to get in when a bullet zoomed past my head and missed me by like a millimetre. I whirled round and saw... BARRY!No Nora get your brain in order it's not Barry it's another version a doppelgänger.Before I could respond he put his hand to his ear and then ran off towards the roof. He had super speed just like Barry! I shook my head and entered the control room and turned on the meta damper. All of a sudden I saw all the metas powers stop working but mine didn't. I guess it's cause I'm in here. I stepped out and I lost them. Oh well. I can still kick ass! I ran toward the roof following all the sound. I reached the roof to see Fury, Maria and Phil along with a few other agents standing before Deadstone and his army. I walked forwards.
"Ahh Xs I see you got your director out of his trap."
I glared at him.
"Get out of here Deadstone" I say. This is SHEILD not camp shit show."
This time he growled.
"Watch your tounge Xs or you will loose it!"
He paused and then said something in his earpiece. Then Barry no not Barry stepped forwards.
"This is my deal Xs," he began "fight Mr Allen here and win we will leave, if you don't you all die."
Oh lightning bolts. Everyone steps back and Barry and I begin to circle each other. Then he lunges throwing a punch to my gut. I retaliate by punching his nose and kicking him where the sun don't shine.
It went in like this for a good few minutes punch after punch until I couldn't do it any more.
Then I remembered the gun in my belt. I pulled it out and aimed it at him. He looked me dead in the eye.
"Do it" He says
"I really don't want to" I reply
"Please" he pleads "do it I don't want this to go on"
"No we can help you." I choke back my tears.
"Look at him. At them they all want this life you can't help them but please help me shoot me."
Then a shot rang out and Barry hit the floor. Looked in shock and saw deadstone with a gun in his hand.
"He was useless anyways." He brushes it off.
I scream.
"YOU MONSTER! YOU ABSOLUTE MONSTER!"I scream in anger and pain.
"Well our work here is done. Come along" all the metas turn with him and head off. Just then he turns back to me
"See you soon Xs."
Once he leaves I scream again. Maria runs over and pulls me into a hug. I fight it at first but eventually give in and sink to the floor. She follows and just holds me. I sob and scream. I don't know why I was hurting so much. He wasn't Barry. Maybe it was just hearing Barry's face say those things or maybe it was seeing him dead but it hurt like hell. It was a good 20 minutes before I could breathe again and Maria helped me to my feet. Coulson came over and gave me a hug and surprisingly so did trench coat.
"He will pay Nora we promise" says Maria. I smile and nod. Don't really trust my voice right now.Maria PoV:
Seeing Nora scream was a sight I never want to hear or see again. Ever. She looked broken. In her eyes that was her brother. And she just watched him die. She wouldn't even speak. I pulled her into me as we walked back through the hallways full of agents cleaning up the mess and aftermath. Hardly any agent bodies so that's good. All three of us got the impression that Nora really didn't want to be there so Fury let me take her back to her room. We went in and I sat with her. We sat there for a while and I just held her she leaned into me and just sort of sat there. After a few minutes she spoke,
"Sorry"
"What for?" I asked confused.
"Falling apart like this," she whispers.
"It's ok." I say "we all have to break sometimes."~~~time skip 4 weeks~~~
Nora PoV:It had been about 4 weeks since Deadstones army and we were back on our feet and running. Ha! No pun intended. Shut up Nora! Stop talking to your head Nora! Ugh!
Anyways, we were working on tracking Deadstone but it was harder than it looked.
And guess what? I was bored! Again.
So I decided to go for a walk seeing as between trench coat and the army I hadn't really been outside. I told Phil where I was so he knew and went off on my wander.It had been about an hour and I had reached the park where I saw Iron man all those weeks ago. It felt so strange being part of that world now. All of a sudden that feeling of being followed came back. What was it about this park!
Suddenly I felt a hand over my mouth and everything went black.When I woke up I wasn't at the park or SHEILD or my apartment or anywhere I knew. And that gave me a bad feeling.
I was in a tank. Glass soundproof and meta proof. I didn't have my powers. Crap!
Not good not good not good!
I heard footsteps and turned to see the door open and in walked... Deadstone.
Of course! Great! FanTASTIC!
He smiled his sinister smile.
'Well Xs I said I would see you soon.'
