Giving the Devil His Due (tag Hawkeye

Mar 08, 2006 14:03

The Devil's Due took up the first floor of an older building just on the edge of Mutant Town. The building had been there since the early 1920s, and the ice cream parlor had been there since 1973. The 12 floors above the ice cream parlor were apartments that nobody officially rented ( Read more... )

Rowena looked blankly at Hawkeye for a moment before letting out something that sounded suspiciously like a string of swear words. "Agamemnon, deal with the children first!" she barked, her gaze swiviling from the undead archer to her son. "Abraham, do not argue with me, I'm not about to bleed to death! Our Eliza is a dab hand with a makeshift bandage. And somebody see to William, or his father is going to have a right fit when he finds out about this! It's probably just a bit of backlash or something."

Eliza shook herself, staggering to her feet. She cast one warey eye around. "Goddamn. I'll... tea. Yes." She made a bee line for the kitchen.

"SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU!"The yell echoed throughout the store, startling the more sensitive of those present, breaking through what was surely imminent chaos if the situation were left to degenerate further ( ... )

“[Patriot was cut badly.]” The Vision said. Eli shot him a dirty look, which the Vision caught and volleyed back at him. “[You did.]” The Vision turned back to the doctor. “[It seemed like he lost a lot of blood, but he didn’t pass out. Wiccan and Mrs. Xanathos healed him, but I don’t think that they were able to replenish his bodily fluids. Stature was thrown head first into a wall, and I believe that Wiccan was complaining of a headache and having difficulty standing before he transported us here. Hulkling was slashed across the abdomen, but he’s healed that himself for the most part, but it might be a good choice to take a look at him anyway.]”

The Vision realized that he was probably talking entirely too much, but it was a relief to have a doctor (who wasn’t an evil, magic-using, Nazi-bug) to help them. Such a relief.

“…Take good care of my friends.”

[I’m trying, Iron Lad. I won’t disappoint you.]

Rowena closed her eyes and let out the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding as her brother reluctantly left her side to fetch Eliza. That was her boy. She almost smiled ( ... )

Cassie steadied Kate and sat down on the floor, resting her head against one of the booths. She was tired, confused, and really wanted to change out of her wet suit before her toes died. She wiggled them, encouraging the blood to keep circulating. She decided not to think about anything for the time being, and just closed her eyes. They could wake her up when everyone was taken care of.

Cyrus was hustled out of the back once again, most of his body hidden behind piles of blankets. He carefully navigated his way around the room, giving thick blankets to those still concious and letting them deal with the ones out cold. He skittered away before thanks could be offered, keeping his head down and not speaking. He paused at Cassie, carefully tucking one of the blankets around the girl before quickly moving on. He looked as though he expected a blow from those he came near at any moment, and wasn't about to hold still for it.

He got to Eliza last, and tentitivly held out an old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cover to his cousin. She looked from it to the long haired albino, then back to the cover. Then she reached out, grabbing Cyrus by the arm, and pulled him to her. He made a noise reminicent of a rabbit just before being disemboweled by a hawk as Eliza put her arms around his torso.

"Just shut up and hug, you great big wuss." Eliza snarled.

Clint had decided to step back and stop trying to take command of the situation. He walked over to the corner and waited for things to cool down before asking where he could help. It had looked as if things got bad for the kids real fast. Just what the hell could have happened to them? He thought as put set his bow and Quiver down on the ground. He then decided to speak up.
"Anyone need my help? Or should I just stand over here for now?"

Cassie awoke from her light sleep when she heard Clint Barton speak. She opened her eyes. "If not, you could tell us why you're not dead." She shifted beneath her blanket- when had that gotten there? She hoped this was not a story that would give her worse nightmares than she had all ready, but that couldn't be helped. She would probably have some awful dream tonight anyway. being crushed by a giant bug or something.

Clint looked at her. She was still the little girl that her father would be proud of. It was time for him to come clean with her. She had every right to know about it ( ... )

Tommy considered lifting his head from its less than comfortable position on the table but in the end decided to just keep it down and try to do something about the queasy feeling still swimming around in his stomach. Oddly enough the coolness of the table helped and he felt a good deal less like throwing up. His toes were still wet and cold and he felt nearly frozen through just sitting there and no longer moving but, again, he didn’t feel like moving.

At least not until Cassie spoke. Then he cracked open an eye and eyed the guy as he explained something about something. Tommy wasn’t listening. He looked pretty good for a dead guy, in Tommy’s humble opinion. He would have expected more rot and stink and less moving and speaking without losing their lower jaw.

“I heard no one stays dead once they get a snazzy codename and costume, not that Hawkeye is snazzy." Tommy said finally, closing his eyes again. "But hey, that was very inspirational and heartwarming, really."

Clint pauses for a minute giving the young speedster a very nasty look. Was pietro ever that bad? He though to himself trying not to laugh. He remembered the days when the two of them would butt heads over the dumbest little things. Even though he'd only heard the kid speak a couple times he reminded him so much of Quicksilver.
"You shouldnt move there speedy, you'll injure your sunny disposition."

Cassie didn't know what to say. She wrapped her blanket closer around her, and shivered. She was going to ask what happened to Wanda- she must have lost control of her powers, from what she had heard and what she could make sense of- but she didn't think it would be good to ask about that with so many other people in the room.

She closed her eyes again. It didn't sound like her father could be alive, if he had to be far enough away from the Scarlet Witch. And if he was, he would have done everything he could to see her again. She would have heard from him by now.

Then Tommy spoke. "Shut up!" Cassie snapped, and wiped tears from her eyes before they could fall down her face.

Clint pauses almost breaking down. He had wished that the young girls father had never died in the first place. SHe hadnt deserved this at all. Why did Wanda take her father from her? What could she have been thinking to have done this to any of them? He could barely hold back the emotions.
"Cassie...I just want you to know that if Captain America will not train the Young Avengers, you guys have my bow."
He tries to smile to her but knows that thanks to what he said she wont be in the proper mindset again for a while.

Billy made a noise somewhere between a grunt and a moan. "god... my head...!" His whole body shuddered convulsively, and his head truely felt like it was going to explode at any moment, showering everyone with his brainmeats.

Or maybe he was just going to vomit again. He wasn't entierly sure. Either way, he just wished the world would stop spinning.

"You awake?" Teddy asked, ordering his hands not to squeeze his rather large armful of William Kaplan; even if he was in full human form now that they were out of possible harm's way at last, there was no reason to add any super-strength-aided bruises to his boyfriend's arms ( ... )
