Opening My Past

Chapter Fifteen~Help Me...

We were speeding down the coast in the speed boat Trevor told us about, thinking of a plan.

"But we also have to figure out this vice president thing, right?" ask Rhodey.

"Right. I wonder who I'm calling right now. Oh! That's the vice president." says Tony, I roll my eyes and wince rubbing my neck.

"You okay Spirit?" ask Tony, I look up at him before he pushes me down onto the bench "Get some rest."

"Can't I help?" I ask.

"What happened?" ask Rhodey.

"Nothing."

"Killian injected her."

"Tony!"

"Sleep! Now!"

I cross my arm turning onto my side and slowly my eyes begin to close drifting off into a deep sleep.

**********************************************************

"He's strung up over the oil tanker. They're gonna light him up, man." 

Those are the first words I hear when I wake up. I look around to see Tony and Rhodey crouched behind a crate. We were on an oil dock?

"Did you guys haul me up here?"

The two turn and look at me as I stand, before pulling me down "Get down!" says Rhodey.

"Why didn't you both just wake me up?" I whisper.

"We tried you were fast asleep!" says Tony.

"See this is what happens when you influence three hours of sleep on your sister." says Rhodey to Tony.

As the two bicker I look up past him "Is that the president?" I ask, two look at me and Rhodey hands me a gun.

"You ready, you okay?" ask Tony as we stand following Rhodey "Yeah I'm fine, I just, my body feels weird."

"Stay on my six, cover high and don't shoot me in the back." says Rhodey as we follow him. Just then a bullet is shoot as a search light shines on us, Rhodey and Tony shot back hitting the guy and the light.

"You see that? Nailed it." says Tony.

"Yeah, you really killed the glass." says Rhodey.

" You think I was aiming for the bulb? You can't hit a bulb at this distance." Rhodey fires a bullet and hits the bulb.

The three of us keep moving and then duck down behind some more crates, we have been spotted.

"I'm out. Give me. You got extra magazines?" ask Tony.

"They're not universal, Tony." I state.

"I know what I'm doing, we make this stuff. Give me another one." says Tony to Rhodey.

"I don't have one that fits that gun."

"You've got, like, five of them." starts Tony taking a cartridge from Rhodey as he protest.

As the two argue once more, I tried to think of a way of out this situation while I rub my neck in pain "Are you alright Darling?" ask a voice worried.

I turn to see Loki kneeling next to me "Oh thank god....don't all me darling." I say wincing "What happened."

"It's just an injection........that I could possible die from."

"Wha-!"

"Not the point I need your help!"

"Why should I?"

"I'll start ignoring you and you'll have no one to bother." I say, he considers this and nods "Okay I need you to look up and tell me how many guys are after us."

Loki sighs nodding before standing, taking a second, and kneeling back down "Three men, one girl, all armed."

I nod before turning to Rhodey and Tony "Three guys, one girl, armed." this breaks up there fight "You looked?" ask Tony, I shake my head "No, Loki did." I say turning back to him smiling.

"Loki?" ask Rhodey "Long, really long story for another time. We need back up." 

"Yeah, a bunch."

"You know what?" starts Tony standing, we do as well and look in the distance to see lights getting closer "No way." I say.

"Are those...?"

"Yeah." says Tony as dozens of Iron Man suits fly over. "Merry Christmas, buddy. JARVIS, target Extremis heat signatures. Disable with extreme prejudice." 

"Yes, sir." says all the armors at once.

"What are you waiting for? It's Christmas. Take them to church." says Tony, all the bots get to work as Rhodey runs off to get the president. Tony turns to me "Take a gun and find Pepper, stay away from the fight."

I begin to protest before Tony hugs me "We don't know what's happening to you and I can't lose you, but I can't let Killian or anyone else find you. Find Pepper and stay out of sight." Tony says pulling away, holding me by my shoulder.

He was right and I couldn't do that to him "Okay, good luck."

He nods planting a kiss on my forehead before running off jumping into an armor.

"That was sweet." says Loki from behind me breaking the moment. I turn to him reloading my gun "Think you can stay around a little longer?"

"As in?"

"Help me save my bothers girlfriend, my countries leader, let me punch Killian in the face-"

"Killian? I told you something was up, why don't you listen to me!-" I walk towards him causing him to step back "Look Greeny, I enjoy our talks and unless you want me dead help me find the lab and find a cure.....please."

I wasn't that treating Loki was at least a foot taller then me, but he looked me up and down really considering this. I guess he was deciding if his reputation was more important then my life, for all he cared it could be.

I step back and begin to walk away. I stop when Loki appears in front of me "Peppers that way." he says pointing behind me, I smile as the two of us start running in that direction.

"Greeny?" Loki ask.

"Give me time, I'll think of a better nickname."
