Wide Awake and Dreaming
Tessa was feeling lost. Weapon X, the only family and home she had known, was gone. The team had disbanded and Tessa was left on her own. She hadn't been sure what to do or where to go. She wandered a bit and eventually found herself in New York.

She wandered the city a bit and found herself outside an apartment building in the Upper East Side.

The place seemed familiar for some reason, but she couldn't place it. She felt like she had been here before, but she /knew/ she hadn't been here before. It was a weird feeling. If she only knew why.

Misha arrived at his apartment building on foot, having walked from the Stark condo after a visit with his mother. Between his time as a woman, which was going to give him nightmares for years to come, and his intention to take a vacation with Lyta, a visit had been necessary. Mom needed to hear what happened with the Empress from someone who wouldn't break down laughing every fifteen seconds and about his plans from him in person. Dad was still chuckling.

The redhead in his path almost made him detour to the garage entrance, but there was something familiar about her from behind. As he drew closer he thought he was seeing things again.

He finally stopped ten feet away and stared.

	Tessa turned and saw him. She returned his stare. She had seen him once, Romanov was his name, but she swore she had seen him before that one time. Weird that she would run into him here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She seemed to be real enough. He moved a little closer but kept a healthy distance between them. "What are you doing here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know. Do we know each other?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You could say that," he said, his voice hard. "Where are the others?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2010-03-24 08:09 am UTC (link)
	"Gone," she said. "How do you know about them? How do you know me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-24 08:17 am UTC (link)
	"Because you kidnapped me and my brother." His look should have flattened her into the cement. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2010-03-24 08:20 am UTC (link)
	She wasn't intimidated by the look. She had dealt with Nicholas. "When?" she asked. "I don't remember seeing you before running into you at Xavier's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-24 04:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Considering you had no business at Xavier's, don't you think your story is a fraud? You know very well who I am and why you're here. I'm not falling for another story." He pulled his keys from his pocket. "You can tell your Creed friend that we aren't finished until he's in a cell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2010-03-24 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Creed is gone. He was on a special mission for Director Kane and never returned. I swear the only thing I know about you is that your name is Mikhail Romanov and the first time I met you was at Xavier's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-25 06:14 am UTC (link)
	"You didn't meet me at Xavier's. Visitors announce themselves at the gate." His face creased in anger. "I thought I'd killed you in that fight with Creed. I carried your body out of that wreck of a base because I promised to get you out and help you find a better life. Now this? You've got a lot of nerve showing up here alive!"

	ng_weaponx 2010-03-25 06:18 am UTC (link)
	"I don't remember that!" she protested. "I only remember seeing you at Xavier's. I don't know why I came here, but I felt like I've been here before and I don't remember it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He ground his teeth together. The last thing he needed was bystanders getting interested in the discussion because his temper was getting the better of him. He swallowed the next angry words and jerked his head toward the front doors. "Upstairs. Come on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2010-03-25 07:06 am UTC (link)
	At that moment he reminded her of Nicholas. She wasn't sure she wanted to go with him. She didn't move. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-25 07:12 am UTC (link)
	He took a deep breath. People would notice if he tossed her over his shoulder, wouldn't they? "Upstairs is private, as in out of the public eye. I don't hurt women, even when they try to kill me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2010-03-25 07:17 am UTC (link)
	She regarded him for a moment and then nodded. "Fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-25 07:32 am UTC (link)
	He gestured for her to go ahead of him. There was no way he would turn his back on her. Once inside, he went directly to the bar for a stiff drink of something alcoholic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tessa looked around. This place was familiar. Why? "Have...have I been here before? I know I haven't been here, but this place seem familiar." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-25 07:37 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, you've been here before." He swallowed it in one gulp and poured another. "We were friends, until you handed me and my brother over to Weapon X. That pretty much killed it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2010-03-25 07:37 am UTC (link)
	"Wh...when was that? I have no memory of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-25 07:44 am UTC (link)
	"Last summer." He put the alcohol back and filled a glass with ice and water, but not for himself. He held it out to her. "What did you think you'd find here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2010-03-25 07:45 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you," she said as she took the drink. "I don't know. I was wandering and just found myself outside." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-25 07:58 am UTC (link)
	"Have you eaten?" popped out of his mouth before he could stop it. What he should do was call SHIELD and ask if they wanted one of the Weapon X's test subjects. " (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2010-03-25 08:00 am UTC (link)
	She was confused. He was showing signs of hostility toward her, but he was offering her food. "I ate yesterday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-25 04:07 pm UTC (link)
	He sighed. "Let me rephrase that, are you hungry now? And relax, I'm not going to throw you off the terrace." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
