Thorn #3 (Sequel To Hawkgirl)

XLVI

"Just a few more minutes and we will be there ma'am."said the co-pilot as he looked back at her.

"I can't believe Fury had a mission ready for you just before we got to the facility."Christopher mumbled under his breath as he tried to put on his parachute.

Valerie laughed lightly as adjusted her folded bow on her belt."You know how he is."

"Unfortunately yes."The blond nodded before zipping his leather jacket and then snapping all the parachute belts shut.

Valerie looked down at her phone once more.Nick Fury for once more had made the impossible possible for her to have a mission,surely a small one but still good enough for her.

A map appeared on the screen of a building that would resemble an old company.Her goal was to put out anything that was a threat.There were also more agents inside the building already trying to contain something that she wasn't sure about.But they weren't moving just yet.

"So the plan is,...don't die I guess."Christopher said as he came to stand beside her.He was holding a gun on his hand,loading it.

"That's my line,but I think you got yourself covered."she grinned at him,slightly surprised that he had a gun.Apparently he wanted to be able to protect himself as well.That was some progress.

Two other agents that were there with them from the beginning also stood up after getting ready.They all placed their earphones on."We spread out,the agents inside already know there's back up coming,"the dark skinned agent across from her said."In case of emergency,"he clicked his gun."Call out."

Valerie nodded as she looked at the map once more,despite the sounds of the quinjet it was airily quiet and she hoped nothing extreme would happen.Suddenly a last message came up and she stepped away from the testosterone in order to read it quietly.

"STARK MADE UPDATES.TOP DRAWER."

Valerie raised an eyebrow as she looked up from her phone.Surely in front of her was a small drawer.She quietly opened it,and took out a small black box.Placing her phone inside her pocket she proceeded on opening it.

A new pair of earpieces sat there,smaller and slicker with his name still engraved in the back.They were black with a single purple line running around it.

Taking out her own she placed them back to the box while putting on the new ones.She felt kind sad taking those out since she had those for quite a while.But also excited to see what those new babies did.

The moment she pressed the button for them to go on,clearer sounds came to her ears.The jet's engine was louder that she had thought and she could hear clearer the small talk the men did behind her.

"Stark you sneaky fox."Valerie said as she shook her head.

"Glad you like them,Katniss."said a familiar voice."I was waiting quite a while for you to actually find them but guess Fury had to help a little."Tony continued on."Oh by the way this is a recording I'm off to vacation with Pepper,careful with whatever you Barton family are doing."he said as she imagined him to move his hands around."Enjoy your toys,oh and congratulations on earning a new little one hope you name it after me.Bye."

And with that his smooth voice was cut off leaving her with a small smile.She didn't really got the chance of actually speaking with him either after the whole Ultron thing and felt bad that she hadn't apologized for almost shooting him with an arrow when Vision was created.But giving her new earpieces meant that they were on good terms.

Suddenly another voice spoke up making her jump slightly.
"Welcome,miss Barton.My name is JARVIS Jr.Mister Stark created me in order to help you on your missions."said the voice.It was almost identical to the one Tony had,along with its own British accent.
