Passing the time (Open to visitors)
Anya paced back and forth in the small cell. She was bored. Lady Mandarin and Temujin were gone, but she was being kept here for observation for awhile. At least they had given her the (modified) Kindle she owned.

Though right now she was tired of reading. She just wanted her laptop. If she had her laptop she could be writing code and right now she'd worship the person who brought the laptop to her. She could at least distract herself a little better not to mention get some of the projects she had been meaning to do finished.

She had hoped Sarah would be down to visit so Anya could beg for forgiveness. It tore at her heart and her soul what she did to Sarah. There was penance that needed to be done and forgiveness that needed to be begged for.

They could have at least given her a cell phone so she could talk to people.

Anya grumbled and kept pacing.

	"No, Steve. Don't do this," she begged. "It's not your fault. This was my mistake. One I have to pay the price for, not you." The last thing she wanted was him blaming himself for this happening. This was squarely on her shoulders. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe not my fault," Steve said, when he found his voice, "but not yours either. You don't control what that bastard does." He quieted. That kind of talk wasn't why he was here. "So glad you're okay. I was so worried..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I was the one who got involved with that bastard without thinking. My fault."

She took a deep breath.

"But it's over. He's sitting in a cell and Lucas got him and the Lady Mandarin out of my head for good. It's finally over."

She tried to smile for him. "I'm fine. You can't get rid of a Stark that easily. I'll be out of here soon and then...well I'll be around. I can't go back to school and I can't be an Avenger, so I'm going to have a lot of free time."

	It was too bad, really. They could definitely use Anya on the team right now. He wished he'd had the guts back then to tell her how he'd really felt about her making such a stupid decision. But given the number he'd pulled, calling others on their boneheaded moves wasn't his style. "I'm glad," he said instead. "Not the free time thing, but the back thing."

	"Yes," she smiled. "We'll be able to see each other more than just the stupid weekend thing. Right now all I want is to be with you. I just want your arms around me and to hear your heart beating as I lay against your chest." She made a silent promise to make this all up to him. Even if it took the rest of her life.

	"Soon, Gorgeous. Soon," Steve assured her, with a small smile of his own. "Even if I have to bust you out of here. I've got a lockpick arrow here somewhere..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-02-21 01:51 am UTC (link)
	"Don't. They'll throw you in one for trying to bust me out." She smiled a little more. "It won't be long. Tell me what's been going on. What have I been missing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve frowned. "Yeah... about that..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's... it's not good out there, right now Anya. Toni and a bunch of the X-Men got captured by someone, I'm not sure who exactly..." He hesitated. "And your mom's gone missing too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-02-21 01:59 am UTC (link)
	Anya took a few steps back in shock. Toni. Mom. No. This could not be happening. "You have to get me out of here," she said when she managed to get some grasp on her thoughts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can do that," Steve said. And he totally would, too. "Probably got something that can break down the glass...." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't think you want to do that," Came the voice from the doorway. Charlie stood there, arms folded over his chest, shield slung over his shoulder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-02-21 04:09 am UTC (link)
	"Charlie! You have to help Steve get me out of here. I need to help my family and Toni." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-02-21 04:16 am UTC (link)
	Steve spun to face Charlie. "I will if I have to," he said. "Don't want to... but no way are we letting them keep Anya locked up during all this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	borntolead 2010-02-21 04:24 am UTC (link)
	Charlie sighed. "I will admit, I don't like seeing her in there anymore than you do, Steve. But busting her out isn't the answer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sarah...." Anya went quiet as the guilt flooded her. She looked away as the tears started to form in her eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-02-21 04:34 am UTC (link)
	Steve had only joined the team after Sarah had left, but he'd heard Anya talk about her before. "Big one, actually," he said. "We need Anya out of here. Her mom and best friend are missing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	borntolead 2010-02-21 04:37 am UTC (link)
	"You forgot to mention that getting her out of here involved you breaking down the glass and your ass tossed in a cell right next to her. After you got stopped by the riot squad that'd be meeting you at the front door, of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sarah calls up for Molly to see if they can get the codes to get Anya out.
"Everyone relax. Most of the X-Men are in New York. Something about a major kidnapping and terrorists holed up at the Statue of Liberty. It might take a few moments, but we can get her out. Missing?"

For now, she's all business, Captain America's daughter. She can't look at Anya, can't deal with that right now.

	"Guys," Anya said past the lump in her throat. "Go. The X-Men need you three and the Avengers. Just lower the EM field and I'll get myself out. I'll work on finding my Mom." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't like this," Steve muttered. "Don't like this at all." Oh yes, Steve was very much of the "ask forgiveness, not permission" school of thought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Join the club." No, Charlie isn't Very Happy Right Now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're working on letting her out. Most of the people with the right codes are in New York. I'm hurt, but good enough to help out. By the time we check to see if support is needed, they should have her out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
