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. I got the really short condensed version of what's been going on. They rushed out of here to go fight before I could ask any questions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He ground his teeth a moment before responding. "So you were kidnapped along with your dad. Mom's disappeared. Did anybody mention if James is still around?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya rolled her eyes a little. "Yes. He was kidnapped after me. All I was told was that Mom was missing. I assume James is okay. I don't know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, her concern was heartwarming. "I'll be back," he said abruptly. "I'll see if you can be let out of your cage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They didn't stick around long enough for more questions," she grumbled. "Can I at least get a goddamn cell phone?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll check," he said sharply. Then rubbed his forehead with his uninjured hand. Not a really good day for any of them. He softened his tone. "I'll be right back as soon as I get this hand set. It hurts when it has to be re-broken because I waited too long. If nothing else, I'll bring my phone for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He shook his head at her. "Brat." Then he was gone.

He was back inside a half hour, grim faced and still unshowered. The only thing different about his appearance were the sneakers and the sweat jacket he grabbed on the way. His hand hadn't needed much work. It was in a temporary splint. He'd been given a hefty shot of painkiller that was already starting to wear off. The pain only added to his mood.

He handed her his phone. "Let's go. I forwarded an email to my phone. Check it on the way."

	"Yay! Freedom! Now I can run amok." She grinned and then it faded quickly. Big brother wasn't in the mood for jokes or a little levity. "Things will work out, Misha. Mom will come home safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Look at the email." He grabbed her arm to hurry her out of the lower levels and through the mansion. That he wasn't giving her much chance to do just that wasn't getting through his head. "Somebody has a real sense of humor, and as soon as I find out who it is I'm going to shove it down their throat and out their spine. You still have a suit at the condo or the Avengers' mansion?"

	anyastark 2010-02-22 06:35 am UTC (link)
	"Condo," she said. "We can grab you a suit too." Eh. She'd get in trouble of course, but it wouldn't be the first time she didn't listen. It wouldn't be the last either. She tried to read the email, but the pulling her through the mansion wasn't allowing her to do that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He practically pushed her into Darlene's passenger seat. "They're images. You'll have to scroll around, but one of them is Mom. Can you track an email back to its source?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-02-22 06:53 am UTC (link)
	She frowned at the way he man handled her, but didn't comment on it. He was stressed and she understood. "I can't until we get back to the condo. I need my computer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Later he would apologize over and over again for manhandling her. Right now he was focused on the fact that his parents were being held somewhere and god knew what was happening to them. Except he had a pretty good idea.

He started the engine, put Darlene in gear, and tore out of the garages and down the drive. In a few minutes they were out on the road and speeding toward the city.

Now that they were in motion his chest eased a little. He gestured to the phone with his splinted hand. "Call ahead if you need to."

	"I've already sent the email ahead. Goddard's already working on it and I sent Dad a text letting him know we're on the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Misha let out a breath. As usual, Anya was six steps ahead. "Thanks. I'm sorry if I got rough. I didn't expect that when I went to shower." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's okay. It's a tense situation," she said. Sadly kidnappings and abductions in the family were becoming almost normal and routine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What I'd like to know is how they got her. I thought she had protection from the Winter Guard as the second in line." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-02-22 07:23 am UTC (link)
	Anya shrugged. "They probably ambushed her. Get the right person for the job and you can get to anyone on the planet. No one is totally safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know, I know." He was thinking out loud again. "I didn't even notice Dad was gone. We all should be fitted with GPS locators." He mashed the accelerator down, practically making the car leap ahead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-02-22 07:33 am UTC (link)
	Anya suspected that Mom already had them outfitted with trackers, but the problem was Mom was one of the people missing. Anya doubted she implanted herself with one. That would allow people to find the Black Widow and heaven forbid that happen. "Yeah," she agreed. She wanted to say hi to Darlene, but it was just not the right time.

	"If you want to call Steve to see how he is, I don't mind," Misha said after a few minutes. "It was a brutal fight on the island today." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled a little. "We've been texting each other," she said. It was easier when you didn't have to actually type. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
