Flairess Ninetales, Criminal Gone Good. (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 8

Tonys POV:
We sat in the living room, waiting for Fury to arrive and help us handle this mess. I looked over to Flair, who was sitting silently on the couch next to me. It killed me to see her like this. Her eyes were dull and there was evident despair in them. Her normally confident posture had been replaced with her new, slumped over one. And then the way she sat. She normally was so fidgety when she sat, but now, she sat so unnaturally still. I put a reassuring hand on her leg and she looked at me with those dull, sad eyes. I looked over to Loki and nearly winced. His eyes were red an puffy from where he had been crying and his eyes held that same look of despair that Flairess' eyes held. I actually felt sorry for the guy. I could only imagine what he was going through.

I sighed and nearly jumped when Jarvis called to me. "Mr Stark Director Fury and Agent Coulson have arrived." I looked to the others in shock. Loki looked confused while Flair just sat there. "Jarvis, there must be some mistake, Agent Coulson is dead." The elevators opened and Fury walked in, followed by none other than Coulson. "That's where your wrong Stark. He is very much alive." Natasha stood up shakily along with Legolas and they slowly made their way over to him. "But we saw the cards, they were covered in your blood... the medical team made the call... You died!" Coulson smiled wearily and shook his head. "Well, technically yes, but they brought me back. And then I spent a wonderful recovery in Tahiti." Fury nodded and motioned over to Flairess.

"That's Agent Ninetales, who is currently moping about on the couch." I bristled at his words. "Moping?" I shouted. "Her sister and brand new baby nephew were just kidnapped by Hydra and now they're doing who knows what to them. And you chew her out for moping?" Fury glared at me. "Yes. Flairess, stand up and suck it up. Stop your moping your not 5." Flairess looked up at him and slowly stood up. "You think I'm moping?" Her words came out quietly. Fury nodded. "That's what it looks like." She chuckled darkly. Uh oh.

"I'm not moping patchy. I'm just experiencing an emotion on a level that I have not felt in a long time." Fury clasped his hands behind his back. "Well then, do share Agent Ninetales."
Flair growled. "Fear. The last time I felt fear on this level was when Shadow was kidnapped the first time. Before this I had taught myself to lock up all emotions. Emotions made you weak. They made you vulnerable and able to be taken down. But then you guys came into my life. You became my family and convinced my soul and heart to feel again. But now, because of it, I feel fear on a level I have not experienced before."

She sniffled. "And there's nothing I can do about it." I just stood there in shock. I couldn't believe what I just heard. Fury sighed. "As touching a that was we must get to business. We decided that we were going to call in some professionals to help us get back your sister and nephew." He passed out some information packets. "We have reason to believe Hydra is working with a man named Thanos," Loki shivered at when Fury said his name. Do they know each other?

"Anyway, the guys we called in know how to deal with Thanos, if he's involved, since they've dealt with some of his goons. "Who are they?" Bruce asked. Phil smiled. "The Guardian of the Galaxy."
