7. Age 18 (pt. 3)

We've planned out everything. How we're getting in, how we're getting what we need, how we're getting out. We have plans A and B where things go how we want, and plans C and D where shit hits the fan and we need to get out sooner than expected.
Hopefully we can stick to A or B.

And you'd expect us to be cliche and wait for night time, right?

Well we're not.

Dad used his nosey reported skills and found out that Stark is supposed to have an private press interview at 11am. So we planned accordingly.

Dad's gonna show up in a suit with his laptop hidden in a messenger bag and say he's there to do the interview at 10:30am. That gives him enough time to break into a maintenance closet and tap into the wiring that leads to their computers. He's been learning how to hack into computers and security systems ever since we first decided we would do this. He thinks it might take him ten to fifteen minutes to get through all the shit he's gotta get through without them noticing something.

That then gives him a few minutes to find the medical records, find mine, change it and get back out without being noticed.

That's plan A.

Plan B.

He doesn't get out in time, the real reporter shows up and security starts looking for him. If that happens Wade and I bust in and distract them while dad finishes and gets out.

Plan C.

Someone catches dad and Wade and I have to go and save his ass.

Plan D.

Plans A-C don't work and we have to use Venom.

Venom is last resort.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wade and I watch as dad goes into the building from the empty floor of the building across the way.

A few minutes pass before we hear dad in the coms.

"In. On route to maintenance."

"Good to go," Wade replies.

"Just don't look sus," I tease.

"No shit."

I laugh a bit as we wait.

My nerves finally start to sink in.

We're really about to break into the Avenger's computer.

I start to pace back and forth, waiting for dad to check in again.

Five minutes pass.
Still nothing.

"Hey," Wade gets my attention, "it's gonna be fine. This is gonna work."

I nod but my anxiety still builds.

"Found maintenance. Setting up now."

I sigh heavily in relief before looking at my watch.

"You've got twenty-four minutes," I inform him.

"Got it."

He keeps his com on to where we can hear him typing away.

"Wow this shit is impressive," he mutters, "it might take me a bit longer."

"Perfect," I groan before pressing my com, "just hurry."

"I am I am."

Seventeen minutes go by.

"Okay I'm in."

"Seven minutes, Eddy," Wade says, urgency in his voice.

"Shit. I'm looking I'm looking."

I keep pacing.

I glance out the window.

A woman in a white button up, grey pencil skirt, black heels and glasses heads right for the doors of the tower.

I squint my eyes and notice the lanyard around her neck.

Press.

"Dad you're out of time," I say quickly, "the reporter's here early."

"Fuck!" Wade shouts, "we were so close!"

"I've almost got it! I just need another minute!"

"Looks like it's time for plan C," Wade looks to me.

"Remember," I point at him, "no killing. They're the good guys."

"Wouldn't dream of it."

He opens the door to the balcony and we step out. I grab the Zipline launcher and aim for the fifth floor window, three floors below us.

It shatters the window and alarms and screams sound.

"Let's go!"

I take my katana, sheath and all, and jump onto the line, using my katana to slide down. Wade follows closely behind.

Guns start going off, bullets hitting us as we approach.

"Yeah saw that one coming," I shout as I land, rolling out of Wade's way.

I hit a few security guards in the knees with my still sheath covered sword, knocking them down.

"Eddy, you need to get out of here now!" Wade grunts overage com as he wacks another guy upside the head.

"I haven't found it yet!"

"It doesn't matter! Get out!" I shout as well, "we'll figure something else out!"

"Figure out something else for what?"

I turn and find Iron Man aiming his blasters at me.

Shit.

I manage to roll out of the way just in time to miss his shots.

"Dad! Stark is involved! Get out!"

"You know, you guys should have found a better com system to use. This one was really easy to hack your line," Stark comes over the coms.

"Shit!"

I can hear dad's laptop slam closed as he hurries to disconnect everything.

"Where's your dad, kid?" Stark asks still aiming at me.

"I'm not telling you SHIT!" I throw one of my ring blades as I shout, hitting him right in the mask, cracking it, and catching it as it comes back to me.

"God damn it," he says stumbling back a step, "I liked this one."

He shoots at me again, knocking me back through the wall this time and into the next hall.

"Well that hurt," I groan as I get back to my feet. I roll my shoulders and pop my neck, "WOOW! Ready for round two!"

"No plan D?" Venom asks.

"Nope."

I jump back through the wall but I'm not greeted with the tin man. Captain Spangles is there this time.

"Should have stayed down kid," he throws his shield at me, hitting me in my stomach, effectively knocking the wind out of me.

But I did something I didn't know you could do with his shied.

I caught it.

"Cool!"

I hook it on my arm and admire it a bit.

"Did she just catch your shield?" Stark asks in disbelief.

"Give it back, kid," Spangles comes at me swinging his fist.

I raise the shield, making him punch it instead before kicking him away.

"Really?" I say posing, "I thought it looked better with white. You don't think so?"

I don't actually want to fight them, I just need to give dad time to get out.

Spangles comes at me again. This time I throw the shield at him, bouncing it off his chest as he gets sent back again, and catch it.

"Eh, my blades are still cooler," I shrug.

"RIGHT IN THE EYES!" I find Wade with the Black Widow aiming a gun at him, "YOU STUPID BITCH!"

He pulls out his gun and aims it at her.

Shit.

I throw the shield again,bouncing it off the pillar near him and knocking the gun out of his hand and catching it once again.

His head snaps to me.

"No killing!" I shout.

He lets out a frustrated sound before continuing to fight.

One of Stark's blasts hits me from behind and I go flying forward, dropping the shield in the process.

"Marley!"

Wade runs to me.

"I'm out!"

I sigh as dad's voice comes over the coms again.

"Meet you at randevu!" I answer back.

I get to my feet quickly and Wade and I dash for the window, jumping out and down to the ground.

I can feel my ankle break beneath me.

"Fuck!"

Venom quickly heals it and I start running, Wade does the same in the opposite direction.

"Ditch the coms!" I say as I run as fast I can before taking mine out and throwing it.

That literally couldn't have gone any worse.
