An Archer's daughter

Part 12: We need to talk

Elizabeth's POV

I stood outside, looking like an idiot. It has been a little more than one year since I last saw Dante; and now I just can't recognize him anymore. He has become taller, and a little bit muscular. His voice changed, too. Suddenly I found myself at loss of words.

Seeing my dumbfolded expression, Dante raised an eyebrow, "Well?"

"Nice to see you, too," I replied,"but how did you.....?"

"Get in first. You never know who's listening."

I got in. There wasn't more than two shoes; I am guessing he lives alone, just like me.

"It's been a whlie, Ell. I must say - I was expecting you to show up any day, given your ability to get in dangerous situations whenever you can ; but Billy Gordon? That is one man I was not expecting you to collide with."

I dropped in the sofa. "I didn't actually provoke him myself, ya know. I suspect my foster family has to do something with this, as far as I am concerned, they dared to loan money from him out of all people."

"And then there's S.H.I.E.L.D", Dante said , "you have caught Thier eye in a pretty bad way ; they seems to to be having a hard time digesting the fact that the great Frost Archer is actually 16 years old....you wouldn't have a good time if they catch you."

"Any idea why Gondon wants me?" I said looking at the window. Must all the rich people be assholes?

"No, but there is one useful information. He has recently made connection with Ian Quinn, a guy who brainwashes young science talents and make them work for him at any cost."

"How would he know of me then?"

"I have a scenario in my head. When your family couldn't repay the debt, they talked about you, a commoner who go to St Peter's school all on her own; everybody knows how hard it is,. Getting there only based on your talents. Maybe he wants you for that case."

My blood ran cold. This is very, very bad.

I should have tricked my family into disowning me a long time ago. I thought about it but never took a step, because I hate orphanages. I regret that decision now.

Suddenly my stomache grumbled. Oh great.

"I know you've have a long day. Let's eat dinner and go to sleep now; we will hack into S.H.I.E.L.D's database in the morning to see what they know about your case. For now, you are safe. I have used my telepathy power to make sure that nobody knows about us; they don't know you are here. Come on, you've had enough for today." Dante said.

"I wholeheartedly support your decision", I said.

Let's hope Hyperion doesn't blow up anything while I rest for the night.

*A/N : I AM SO SORRY! IN FACT, my parents found out I had wattpad in my phone so they installed a stalking app in my phone; it was uninstalled by then only recently. I still don't use wattpad, though. I am updating this story from browser using desktop site. I will try as much as I can to update this story; I never expected it to be this popular ( let alone people requesting for update). Bye for today, and sorry again; I am glad to have patient readers like you!*
