In Need Of Information
The lab's lights turn on and I search my dad's computer. I find a video that is from a couple minutes ago. I'm about to download it when I hear footsteps. I can tell it's six feet, so 3 people.
Victoria, Danny, and Ace.
I only trust Victoria and Danny because I told them about all of this. I'm not sure about Ace. I quickly download the video and take off my suit. Hiding it in my bag. I keep it in my hand. I press a button and the lab switches to my dad's fake office.
"Eris?"
"Victoria?"
"Oh my god! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
She wraps me in a hug. Danny and Ace are right behind her.
"What happened?" Ace says to me in a concerning voice.
"I think we got robbed. But it's fine."
Danny and Victoria give me the "Look". It's a thing we created since they know about my dad and all that stuff. I walk out of the office carrying my bag. They follow me. A walk to my room and ask Victoria to help me get some stuff.
"So, what really happened?"
"I came back here and he's. Gone... His room a mess but mine untouched."
"Then we have to find him."
"I know. I'm meeting the Storm on the beach."
"WHAT!?"
"SHH! Not so loud! I need information from her. She said she doesn't remember anything. She might remember why she attacked the woman. Just chill."
"Okay. Okay"
We grab some of my stuff and I pull on a black hoodie and a pair of jeans. The hood covers my face. I put my important stuff in my bag. I walk into my bathroom and press a stone in the shower. The wall separates and a tube comes out. I grab the tube and carefully place it in my bag. Victoria grabs some of smaller stuff and puts it in my backpack. I hear the boys footsteps.
"So Victoria."
They open the door.
"Yeah?"
"Are your parents going to be okay? With me staying over?"
"Yeah. Totally. When we get to the house, we can contact your dad."
"Okay. Thanks."
Danny grabs my bigger bag and Victoria grabs my backpack. I close my door and walk downstairs with Ace. I keep my head down, just thinking about this whole situation.
"Hey. You okay?"
"Hm? Oh, yeah. I'm fine."
"If you need anything, just ask me."
"Okay."
I look up at Ace. His green eyes stare at me. I put on a small smile. He smiles back. Then he turns his charm on and I just roll my eyes. He laughs as I jump off the third stair. We start walking to the car when I start talking.
"Victoria. I'll meet you back at your house. I just want to go to the beach to think. And to be alone."
They give me the okay and I walk down to the beach. I pull my hood up and sit down on the sand. I look out at the horizon. The waves crashing against the sand. Then I see her. She comes walking down the hill. I look her way. She still has her Storm outfit on. She looks at me and comes running over.
"Are you her?"
"Yes."
"Do you have a real name?"
"Yes."
"Can I hear it?"
"...Yeah. My name is Eris."
"Nice name."
"Thanks."
"Now. You wanted to see me?"
"Yeah. Sit down."
She sits down next to me.
"My dad wasn't here when I came back from our "battle". The house was destroyed, but my room was perfectly fine. I'm thinking my dad got kidnapped, but I need your help."
"M-My help? How?"
"You said you couldn't remember why you took that woman. But I know you remember who took you."
She looks at me. I've now noticed that she has soft hazel eyes and tan skin. Her black hair flowing behind her.
"Do you have a name?"
"Uhh... Yeah! My name is Venus."
"Cool name."
"Thank you!"
"Okay. DO you remember why you attacked the woman?"
"Kinda. I was just walking back to my apartment, when out of nowhere two men in black cloaks appeared. They quickly grabbed me and stabbed me with a needle. They left me on the ground near my apartment and my vision got blurry. I don't remember after that. But then I remember grabbing the old woman by the hand and flying her to the top of the building. I place her down and stayed flying in the air. That's when I started to get nice again. I couldn't just put the woman back down. That would just be weird. Then you came, and here we are."
"Did you hear the men say anything?"
"Umm..."
Her face scrunches up, thinking.
"I think then one said,'Now time to get Stark.'"
