The consequence ( sequel to the price of love)

Chapter 18

LUCY'S POV

The party upstairs was already in full blast, but I didn't care.

I needed to read this file.

I took the tiny USB from my pocket and pulled out my laptop, sticking the tiny piece of metal into the side.

As soon as it was in a red light flashed and the screen lit up.

I thought for a moment, trying to remember the passcode for the SHIELD protocol.

Suddenly I remembered, typing it in quickly.

It opened up to various folders and cases, filled with the stories of all of us.

Every single agent that worked for shield was here , their background, their family, their home land. You name it. They had everything on them.

Searching down lower into the earlier entries I found it.

" yes. Finally." I muttered softly.

I clicked on it and the face of my enemy stood, a still small smirk on his lips as he gazed at the camera.

I read the article aloud.

" Johan Smite. Arrested for treason, murder, burglary, and kidnapping and experimenting. Was arrested for sixteen years but escaped and his location is now unknown. Some say he rests in northern Germany.

But. Our spy's have found him recently in New York City. It was kept from anyone else who would try to find him. Ex. Lucy East.

He is in his mid thirties and is highly dangerous after experiments on himself went wrong. But, he was not his only experiment. Young Lucy East at the time was kidnapped as a child and through ten years of her life, she was experimented on.

She escaped only ten years ago, finding herself here.

But, kidnapping and experimenting is not the only thing that Smite is charged for .

He is also the leader of the well known, indestructible , organization called HAWK. "

I jumped from my seat and fell down again, realizing my broken leg.

" I knew it!" I whispered.

In my blindness and deafness I never heard the door open.

" Lucy."

I whipped around and closed the computer, taking the USB out as fast as I could.

" yes?" I asked with a sweet smile.

Steve sighed." It's Christmas Eve Lucy. And there's a party going on upstairs. Come on."

I shook my head." I'm not really one for parties."

He chuckled softly and took my hands in his.

" neither am I. But I can stand it if your with me." He said, pulling me to my feet.

I giggled softly and blushed.

" fine." I started limping towards the elevator.

" wait? Aren't you going to change?" Steve called out.

I turned around and smirked." Naw. I don't think so. You love me either way don't you?"

His eyes widened and he ran up to me spinning me around.

" you doubted my love for you?"

I shook my head frantically." Of course not. I know you love me."

" and I know that you love me." He grinned, putting me down and kissing me softly.

" I love you so much." He whispered.

" I love you too." I whispered back, kissing him on the nose.

" come on we should go." He says, pulling me towards the door.

" what were you looking at in the computer?" He asked suddenly as we rode up.

" nothing. Just a file." I shrugged innocently.

He put his hand on my arm." You can tell me who."

I shook my head." You'll find out soon enough."

That was enough for him as we walked out onto the floor to the pounding music.

Steve walked over to tony and started to talk.

I stood awkwardly, not just because of my cast, and looked around.

Suddenly I saw nick, holding a small box in his hand, gaze around quickly.

As soon as he saw Brittany coming he closed it and stuffed it in his pocket.

" OMG." I whispered.

I knew what he was going to do.

And I knew that we would have some......wedding news by Christmas morning.
