Chapter 92 - Come Here!

(Outside Felicia's Apartment.)

"So this is the place?" Clint asked as he looked down the hall way. "Yes that's what the doc.u.ments say." Tony nodded as he rang the bell for the room. "You didn't tell us she had such a nice pad." Clint looked at the lavish hallway and couldn't help but comment.

Tony hadn't really check the details of her apartment when he was looking into the address. All he knew was that it was one of the best apartment blocks in the city, it made sense seeing as her parents were rich. Plus the security would be essential for a person living alone.

Having come down the fire escape the mismatched group of people would have been very eye catching if anyone had seen them, but they didn't run into anyone on the way down. "Are you sure she's home?" Steve asked after the third time Tony rung the bell, it was around 1:12 so it was possible she was out.

Tony threw his hand up in the air. "How am I supposed to know?" It was after another two rings before they all realized that she wasn't there. Tony looked at the rest, his back pack still slung over his shoulder. "So what do we do now? I don't feel like waiting in the corridor for a teenage girl with a group of strangers. I have a rep to uphold."

Clint snorted. "What? Of the playboy billionaire that has slept with more women than Hugh Hefner himself? I don't think it will be impacted much." Tony looked shocked at the words as he stared at Clint. "There's a rumor like that? I'm flattered." Natasha face palmed. "Of course you are."

Tony smirked in her direction. "Why wouldn't I be? Do you know how much tail that old guy got in his time? That is most definitely a compliment." Clint chimed in. "He's got a point." *Grr* Laura let out a small growl hearing all the useless chatter.

Walking up to the door, *Snikt*, one of her claws popped out and sliced the lock to the room, walking in as if nothing happened. The rest of the Avengers looked at the display in shock for a second. Steve frowned at the illegal act, while both spies just shrugged their shoulders and walked in. "That solves that."

"She does have claws." Tony's eyes were still looking at the hand the claw came from, his scientific mind started to think over the application of how the claw worked, its benefits and disadvantages, seeing as it was made out of something as strong as Adamantium.

The rest crowded into the room, with Steve being the gentlemen and closing the door, even though it was busted. Turning back to look at Laura who was looking around the room, he walked up to her. "You can't just break into other peoples apartments."

His voice was stern and commanding. Laura looked up from what she was doing not really carrying about what was just said. Natasha noted the look of disregard on her face, so she also stepped forward. She knew that Laura had been through a lot, but they did want to get through to her.

Steve, Clint, her and maybe Tony all wanted her to open up a little for various different reasons. "He's right; you can't just break into apartments. You promised to follow what I say while we look for Peter, don't go back on your word."

Laura looked at Natasha for a few seconds before begrudgingly nodding her head. She didn't want to be on the bad side of the Avengers, not right now anyways. Being reprimanded twice she even started to feel a little guilty about just breaking into the place, just a little though.

The others didn't say anything else as Laura nodded her head, knowing she got the point. They started to look around the room for any clues, better than doing nothing while they waited. Laura looked around the room, with its 2 bedrooms, bathroom, lounge and TV. 'It looked like a nice place to live.'

In a small part of her mind, she couldn't help but compare this to the bench Peter used to live on, or the warehouse that she had been situated in. 'It really is an improvement.' Lost in her thoughts Laura walked over to the small entrance to the balcony and looked out at the city, it was just opposite the door.

She continued to stare out it as the rest came back to the main area. "She's not home, but someone was living in the second bedroom. A boy from the looks of it, maybe Peter." Natasha let those words slip as Laura turned back to them.

*Sniff* She sniffed the air quietly looking for Peters scent. Though it was maybe a day or two old she could just make out the familiar smell. She nodded her head to the rest of them, gaining their attention. "Yeah Peter's scent is in the apartment, though it is a day or two old."

They nodded their heads at the new information, wondering what to do next. While that was happening Tony was looking at the TV screen set up and reached for the remote, turning the TV on to a random channel.

"What are you doing Stark? This is someone else's apartment; don't act like you live here." Tony rolled his eyes at Steve's words. "Don't worry, I'll give her a few thousand bucks to pay her electricity bill, we got way too much time to spend, waiting for her to get back."

Just as Steve was thinking of a reply to that smug answer a sound from the doorway caught their attention. "What the bloody hell is going on here!" A brunet dropped the bags she was carrying as the door uselessly swung open.

She had an angry look on her face as she starred daggers at the group of people littering her apartment. "Who the f.u.c.k are you guys?! What are you doing in my Apartment! I'm going to call the bloody Police! If you're lucky they'll get here before I break most of your bones."

Everyone stopped as they looked at the enraged woman before them. The photos couldn't do her justice as her brown hair shimmered in the low light coming from the entrance. In blue ripped jeans and a white shirt, if it wasn't for the enraged scowl on her face it would be the perfect picture.

Steve was the first to react as he slowly stepped towards Felicia, holding his hands up. "Wait, before you do anything, let us explain." Tony had already turned off the TV and was starring at Felicia with an understanding look in his eyes.

"I can understand why the kid might like her, feisty personality." Felicia directed a piercing glare at the billionaire for his words. "Shut up Tony. Not helping." Steve shot back without turning. "Look, we just wanted to ask you about a boy you've been seen hanging out with."

Felicia's scowl came right back to Steve as she dropped into a judo stance. Her mind processed his words and instantly knew he was talking about Peter, and once it involved Peter, she didn't want to tell them anything. "Get the hell out of my apartment, before I make you."

Tony, who had walked next to Clint, quietly whispered to him. "I would love to see her try." He had said it in a low voice, but he didn't know that Felicia had enhanced hearing, easily making out what he said. She stepped into the room and prepared herself for a fight.

Steve continued to try and de-escalate the situation. "Please we really don't want to cause trouble. Our friend Peter went missing a bit over a week ago, we're just trying to find him and make sure he's alright." Felicia frowned again.

"Why wouldn't Peter be alright?" This time it was Natasha that spoke up stepping forwards a bit. "So you know Peter then." Felicia looked at the red head that stepped forwards and kept her lips shut. She realised that she had slipped up there a second ago.

Her mind also began to think back to when she had 'convinced' him to stay the night. It was just over a week or two ago. Plus there was something familiar about the people before her, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She had definitely seen them before though.

If she hadn't been so furious about them breaking into her apartment she might have realised that they were strikingly familiar to Captain America and Black widow she had been watching the other day, when shield fell.

Seeing that she wasn't going to say anything, Laura who had been watching everything from the same spot near the balcony prepared to move. She was sick of the back and forth between everyone. She wanted answer and she wanted them now.

Just as she was about to step forwards something caught her notice. *Sniff* Her nose twitched before her body suddenly locked up. *GRRRR* A loud growl ripped from her throat catching everyone's attention. They had no clue what was going on, but watched as her Claws slowly popped from her hands. *Snikt*

'What the hell are those!' As Felicia stared in shock at the deadly weapons she put her guard up even further. Laura eyes continued to shift as her nose twitch multiple times. Finally her eyes snapped to the door way, making everyone else look over.

With a black tank top on and dark hair, the tanned woman at the door smiled insanely as she stared fixedly at Laura. Laura felt her body lock up as fear overtook her mind. 'No!' "Come here bitch!" *Crash* Before anyone could react the woman sprinted forwards with insane speed and grabbed Laura in a body tackle. Flinging both of them out of the balcony and off the building!
