Alright! So this is part 2. I hope that you like it. I got grounded recently, so I wanted to let you know how hard I worked on this. Last chapter was really short and so this is definitely going to be longer. I HAVE A NEW CHARACTER! I mentioned it in my notes in Part 1 but I don’t know how many people read those, I figured if it was in caps it would help a bit. So anyways I can put a profile of her up if you want me to but I need you guys to tell me. Also, I am still open for new characters. I normally reply to messages within 2 hours so feel free to send me one if you want a character in my story. Also, I would love to have reviews. I don’t care if you are telling me my story sucks, at least that means I have someone’s opinions right? I want to know what people think, what you like, what you don’t like, etc. This is going to have the Avengers in it soon. Also, I am planning on doing a little mini-series for Lýkos. In this story, I don’t plan to delve too much into her past so in the mini-series, I want to let you guys in on bits of her past, know why she acts the way she acts, her experiences, and people she has met. Now for the disclaimer… go on, say it!

“No!”
“Don’t you give me an attitude! You forget, I’m the boss!”
“Fine, fine! I, Loki Laufeyson, am here to tell you that the crazy female that writes this story *pauses dramatically for effect* owns none of us superior characters. She merely takes us without our consent and throws us in the middle of a plot that we may not even want to be in. She is a worse than that mewling qu-!”
“Okay! That is enough from Loki. He’s still a bit bitter about a certain incident that happened the other day… but I will give you a few details. It involved a certain silver-tongued male and a lot of glue and glitter…and a camera. But I swear! It wasn’t my idea; it was Clint and Tony’s! They made me do it; I was just the fall guy... err girl. Anyways! I sadly own none of them… no matter how much I dream I did. ONWARD HO TO THE STORY WE GO!!”

Recap: “Send in the Survey and prepare the Insurgence. I smell a war on the rise and I refuse to be unprepared.”
I’ll Be There to Catch You When You Fall Part Two
Lýkos POV These strange men made me feel oddly safe. I haven’t felt safe in years. I have always wanted to be safe, but I could never allow it. If I believed I was safe, I would let my guard down, and nothing good could ever come from that. I can’t help but wonder at what point I decided I could trust them
*Flashback* “Why do you wear the blindfold? How can you still see?” This man smelled like spring… and hair products. None of them had taken the liberty of giving me their names, so I had them in my head by scent. They were probably scared to give me their names; I mean really if you had just been shot at by your boss because of a mysterious girl, you would probably be scared as well. I was just surprised they hadn’t noticed my more obvious mutations yet. I mean they had surely seen the wings but those hadn’t come up in question yet. This means they probably knew I had that mutation, I can only wonder as to what else they know.
“HEY! Why aren’t you answering my question?” I had to stop myself from biting at the finger wagging in front of my face, it was quite annoying.
“I wear the blindfold because I’m blind. My eyes don’t work like your eyes do.”
“What the hell does that mean?”
“Jensin, calm down, we will have our answer in time.” Oh, so the man that smelled of spring was named Jensin. The man currently speaking smelled like a forest, it was a very calming scent. None of them smelled of deception, so I did not believe any of them held ill will, but that didn’t mean I could trust them completely.
“Alright, I am Reran, this is my team. The one driving is Terry” Coffee and Mint “the one next to him is his brother Arty” Blood, mint, and chocolate…though I suppose the blood is from a minor cuts he received when I shoved him down to cover him from the silenced guns. “the men behind us are Sven and Jensin.” Sven smelled similar to Jensin though he smelled more like autumn, they must have been very close. “Now I am going to need you to answer all of my questions honestly, agreed.” I gave a slight nod, and he began throwing questions at me, his team occasionally adding in their own. I made sure to keep my head angled down and my hands clenched on my thighs. I felt that if they saw the fangs and claws, they would easily be unsettled. While I decided to answer their questions honestly, I made sure to tell them as little as possible. I did not know if they were truly trust worthy or not.
*End Flashback* I was probably foolish for wanting to trust them, but I think I was tired of being alone. I spent most of my life that way, and I craved contact with others. These men seemed to be enamored with me. I could smell the curiosity rolling off of them in waves. They had stopped smelling nervous after most of their questions were asked. I could tell they still had more though. After the questions were asked, I heard Jensin and Sven’s hearbeats slow down and the breathing deepen. These men had to be tired, after they told me who they were, I felt a bit less wary of them. At one point, Terry turned on the radio. When Bohemian Rhapsody came on, all of the men were awake and singing to it... well singing may be too kind. Jensin, Arty, and Sven sounded like a mix between a dying cat and walruses. Reran sang along under his breath and it was surprisingly good. Terry actually had an amazing voice. It definitely made it easier for me to like them. After that, we pulled into a disgusting gas station. Everyone was hungry and thirsty, and we needed gas. I didn’t need heightened senses to know how disgusting it was. The bathrooms smelled of urine and cheap cleaners that didn’t work. I could hear the creaky pipes in the walls, some of them dripping a nauseating liquid. It was time like these that I wished my senses weren’t so strong. Being a feral mutant (A.N. INFO!!! Yes, she is a feral mutant, she has an extreme amount of power. She is an alpha level mutant and is believed to be even stronger which should be impossible. She has some obvious mutations that show her as feral that will be seen later in this particular chapter, though some have been stated like claws and fangs. She also has some mutations that are not normally found in feral mutants. Some are naturally hers but others were from experimentations. Okay sorry, back to the story) I had better senses than most animals, and being blind, meant that they were even stronger. I quickly went to the bathroom and regretfully didn’t wash my hands. I could smell that someone had recently had some… fun in here. I couldn’t even imagine though, this place was filthy, why would anyone want to have sex in here? I immediately blushed at the thought and walked out, using a paper-towel to open the door. I quickly walked out the door searching for Reran’s scent. I found it almost immediately and went to stand as close as possible to him. I didn’t like it in here, I felt extremely uncomfortable and light-headed. Damn those noxious fumes! I was probably making Reran feel awkward but I couldn’t be bothered to care. He smelled good (A.N. creepy -__-) and didn’t make me want to barf. Suddenly at the edge of my mind, I felt a stabbing pain. My ears started to twitch as a high pitch shriek was heard. It had to be at least 6 miles out but it sounded like it was next to me. I clenched my hands on Reran’s arm, my claws shredding his shirt and digging into his skin. I could smell his blood, but I still didn’t let go. Holding on to him was all I could do not to fall over.

No One’s POV Lýkos shook her head rapidly, trying to make the noise stop; she felt her eardrums pop and couldn’t move as she felt blood start to come from her eyes and ears. She couldn’t hear anything. It felt as though her eyes were burning. She made a little squeak and Reran grew extremely worried. He hadn’t minded when she had come to stand next to him. He actually felt a bit protective over her. He knew she wasn’t telling them everything, but he understood. He felt her shift a bit closer to him and he glanced at her, her nose was twitched and the top of her head appeared to be moving. Thinking nothing of it, he turned to look back at the snacks available in the decrepit gas station. It was only when she grabbed him did he start to worry. He either didn’t notice or didn’t care about the claws digging into his skin. He immediately turned to look at her, putting his hands on her shoulders and trying to speak to her. As he looked at her, he noticed her mouth was wide open, it appeared that she was trying to scream but all that came was a quiet, muffled whine. As he truly started to pay attention to the twitching on top of her head, he noticed blood start to slide down her face. Reran’s face immediately became serious and he took on a more commanding frame. He stood straighter them before and yelled out to his men, telling them to get to the car. Terry and Arty heard him first and without a hesitation scrambled to the car. Terry carried 3 bags of snacks and Arty had 2 bags of drinks and another bag loaded with candy. They rushed over and Terry started the car while Arty started scanning the area for anything dangerous. As he looked on the screen, seeing nothing at first, he then noticed that every 3 seconds there would be a static blip in the lower left hand corner. It was barely noticeable, but to a tech genius like Arty, he knew it was bad. Terry loaded the car with gas as quickly as possible and drove up to the gas station’s doors. Inside, Jensin, finally realized Reran was calling out to him. Sven had been tapping on his shoulder repeatedly. He took out his headphones and heard Reran ordering them to the car. Sven and Jensin rushed out looking back to see Reran bend his knees and swing his arm under Lýkos’s knees. He picked her up holding her in one arm and tossed a wad of cash at the sales clerk who looked like he could care less what was happening. Reran rushed out behind them and climbed into the car. Terry immediately took off and drove the opposite way they came. As Jensin turned to look back at the gas station, which was quickly turning into another dot on the horizon, he noticed a row of black SUVs driving into the parking lot. He immediately told Reran and Terry sped up, the trees and pavement turning into nothing but blurs on the seemingly abandoned highway. Reran sat in his seat holding Lýkos close to his chest, she had still not let him go and he finally noticed the pain in his arm. As he looked down, he noticed that she had claws. He was barely shocked at this point.

Reran’s POV
As I held Lýkos close to me, I finally noticed the blood running down my arm. I felt pain but it wasn’t that bad. I pulled her hand from my arm and noticed that she had claws instead of regular fingernails. Her blood from her face was all over my shirt and it was still streaming down her face. As Terry kept going a steady pace, I lowered her to the ground between our seats in the middle row. I had to find out where the blood was coming from and try to help her. I could tell the men were nervous as they stood ramrod straight and had clenched their jaws. Every once in a while they would glance worriedly at Lýkos. She still hadn’t moved and she was still making the quiet whining noises. As I got ready to pull the hood off of her I wondered if I should remove the fabric around her eyes as well. I knew it wasn’t a good idea, but she was hurt and I needed to get the blood off of her face. As I thought about my decision, she suddenly whimpered. Her face contorted into one of absolute agony. I quickly pulled her hood off and noticed how all of her hair was held back behind a wide black head band. I slid the mask off her face to see the much of the blood was coming from her eyes. As I looked closer, I noticed many criss-crossing scares going across her eyelids and the top of the bridge of her nose. There had to be at least a hundred. I quickly used the sleeve of my ruined shirt to wipe the blood from her face, seeing as there was nothing more I could do and tried to find the other source of blood. It had come from above her hairline. As I moved some of her hair away from the side of her face, I noticed something. She didn’t have any ears. (A.N. WHAT! SHE DOESN’T HAVE ANY EARS??? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE IF THEY KEEP TWITCHING? I am sorry if this part is boring, but it will come in later and this is where they discover more about Lýkos. The shriek that she heard was from a gun recently developed by a medical unit. They were originally made to disorient animals with lesser hearing than her. They were made only to be used in the most dire of situations. The gun was called Banshee and only ever made it to the prototype phase before it was stolen. I am saying this because I will not go into it too much later.)

No One’s POV After Reran saw no ears, he grew pale. He was extremely confused and worried for her. After he finished cleaning her face, her lifted her back up and buckled her into her seat. He didn’t tell his team what he discovered in fear of worrying them more. He sat back in his seat and thought about how it was possible. Eventually, he drifted off to sleep. In the seat next to him, Lýkos laid, barely breathing as her body mended itself. The blood vessels in her eyes that had exploded began the process of slowly knitting back together. Her blown eardrums doing the same as the eyes, the more she healed to more conscious she became. After about 2 hours, her ears and eyes were healed. She quickly woke up and checked her surroundings. She immediately noticed her hood and cover were gone and refused to open her eyes. Her ears hurt from being pressed down and wanted to be free. She quickly opened her eyes to find 5 heat signatures around her. 4 of which seemed to be sleeping. She recognized them immediately by their scent and looked them over as quiet as possible, wishing she could see more than a faint outline. She quickly started to search around for her cover, making sure to make no sudden movements. as soon as her hands brushed against the familiar fabric, she slowly slid it over her eyes. Terry hadn’t noticed she was awake yet so she stayed as quiet as possible and shifted back into her seat. She put the hood back on and quickly took of the headband. Her ears sprang up from the top of her head and she nearly sighed in relief. They were good as new but were extremely soar. They twitched and tried to capture every sound, from the animals living in the forest that surrounded the road, to the slight snoring sounds coming from some of Reran’s team. After she confirmed everyone was safe and no one was following them, she curled up in her seat and drifted off into a dreamless sleep. (A.N. sorry, the boring car trip is over now… sorta)
Lýkos woke up to the sound of harsh whispering between the men. She kept her breathing deep and listened in on their conversation, ears constantly twitching under her head. They were whispering about her, that much was for certain. She sadly hadn’t caught the beginning of the conversation though so she had no clue what they had been talking about. All she caught was them whispering about how they needed to get to B9O3 before anyone caught up to them. The lulling movements and darkness from her eyes made her grow more and more tired. She tried to stay awake to hear the rest of what they were saying but quickly failed. The last thing she caught was the hushed words of Reran whispering you’ll be safe.


4 Hours Later
The car pulled into the parking lot of a dingy little motel, the lights on the sign flickering and weeds growing over the walkways. Terry quickly got out, grabbing some cash from the center console and went to rent a few rooms for the night. The car sat in a calm silence, the only sound was the soft breathing of Lýkos. She sat curled up in her seat, head laying in the crook of her elbow and knees to her chest. Reran was tapping a pattern on his knee, Arty was staring at his computer screen, and Jensin and Sven were playing rock, paper, scissors while they waited. About 3 minutes later, Terry came back to the car and drove it to a building on the other side of the parking lot. It was late so they remained quiet as they unloaded the car, letting Lýkos sleep as they did. They quickly finished and Reran went to wake Lýkos up. As he opened her car door, she sprang up, eyes wide and alert and her ears twitching. Reran reached for her and she leaned back, falling into the little aisle between the seats. Her hood fell back revealing her ears to Reran and he froze, staring with his mouth wide open. He kept opening and closing his mouth, looking as if he was trying to say something to her. Lýkos grinned nervously and scratched the back of her head. “Soooo, I kinda have um not human ears…just thought I should let you know.” Reran gaped at her a second and blinked and saw that she wasn’t in the car anymore. He quickly turned to see her rushing to the motel room putting her headband back on and pulling the hood back up. She slowed right before she entered the room and took a quick breath then walked in, acting as if nothing had just happened. Reran stood back at the car for a couple more seconds trying to process what had just happened. So she does have ears? He shook his head and sighed, closing the car door and heading up the walkway to the rooms.

Reran’s POV I know I have to tell the team, but I feel like Lýkos should, not me. It is her secret after all. I have to admit I was shocked, it explained a lot though. Like how she heard the men before they shot, or the constant twitching at the top of her head. I went up to the motel room and walked through the door. The rooms that Terry bought had a door the conjoined them. It was unlocked and wide open so that we could walk through both. The boys were all huddled together watching Batman with Lýkos sitting at the edge of the bed. She looked out of place and stared up at me which quite frankly was extremely unsettling with the blindfold on. I nodded no to her and she smiled, getting sucked in the arguments over who would win in a battle between Iron Man or Batman. I went and sat in a horrible mustard yellow flowery chair. Many questions came rushing into my brain, each one still left unanswered. What happened at the gas station? How does she respond to physical movement if she can’t see? Why are so many people after her? Why does she really wear the blindfold? Why does she always sit sideways? Why do I feel so protective of her?(A.N. Reran’s questions could go on for hours, trust me, but I am going to stop; here just so I don’t bore you to death… hopefully I didn’t already do that. If you are wondering about the sideways thing, she doesn’t always sit sideways, it is only with seats that have backs on them.) I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard a girly squeal. Thinking it was Lýkos I looked up to find that it was actually Jensin being attacked with pillows. Terry then tackled Jensin yelling, “ FOR IRONMAN.” Suddenly the whole room sounded with war cries and everyone jumped at another, battling with pillows and laughing. I just sat and watched on in amusement until a pillow flew and hit me in the face. Everyone froze with comically scared faces and stared at me. I slowly stood and picked up the pillow, watching as they seemed to shrink under my gaze. Before anyone could blink, I threw the pillow into Sven’s face and tackled him into the ground. The ‘war’ quickly resumed and everyone was a part in it. It was times like these that made me remember the reason why I loved my team. We were extremely serious about our work but when we were off-duty we turned into giant man-children. We fought until everyone was a tired mess. Each of us took turns showers and decided where we would sleep. Arty and Terry would sleep in one room, Sven and Jensin in the other. I would stay awake and keep watch. Lýkos had already found a place to sleep next to the in-wall heater. She had taken one of the extra blankets from the closet and took a pillow from the bed. I prepared for a long night ahead and sat back down in the flower chair, watching the exits on my side and getting up every 10 minutes to walk to the other room. This was going to be boring.

Alrighty chickadees, I decided to split this into a three part thing. The next chapter is going to lead up to the part in the previous chapter and it should all hopefully make sense. So I got grounded because I had to go and be a Sassy Mc. Sassafras to my mom and get myself into trouble. Though I feel my sassiness was completely called for… she would probably have a different story though. Anyways! I missed you guys. I also got another new character to put into my story. I am probably going to end the new character thing when I get into the actual Avengers part in my story. But who knows. Depending on how long this story goes on, I might get another area where I want some new characters. I hope you guys liked this chapter. I don’t completely like it, I feel like it was too boring but I needed this part to happen. PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK!!! I love it, even if you are telling me that I should be writing anything. Bad feedback is better than no feedback at all... maybe. We shall see. I did my best to find any errors but I may have missed some, if so I apologize. I really am hungry though so I am gonna go find some food. I LOVE YOU DEAR READERS!!! (I was gonna call you some food item but I figured that wouldn’t be right since I said I was about to eat.)
“Say goodbye!”
“Why? I don’t want to.”
“Because I said so!”
“I take orders from no one, I am a KING!”
“Loki, I swear to Odin that I will shove your scepter where the sun do-“
“OKAY! OKAY! YOU WIN. Goodbye dear readers of this disguMMF!”
“Sorry guys I guess he is still a bit upse- DID YOU JUST BITE ME!? IT JUST GOT REAL”
“AAH GET AWAY FROM ME YOU CRAZY WOMAN! PUT THE BAGUETTE DOWN! NO, NO NOT THE FACE!”
*INTERMISSION*
“Hello, this is a message from Tony Stark, Ms. Writer and Loki are currently battling each other with bread right now so they will be gone for a while… it looks serious. She will not be back until the next chapter. *whispers* I have my money on Aurora, what about you? J.A.R.V.I.S. GET DUM-E TO MAKE SOME POPCORN AND CALL THE TEAM WHILE YOUR AT IT, THIS IS GOLD!”
