Queen Bee
Sydney stared as her own reflection in the full length mirror. Gray skin, green hair, weird yellow eyes, wings, three-toed feet, overly jointed fingers, wings, tiny antenna... And there was more there too, she could tell, things waiting for her to figure out. Little trace of who she had been, physically, remained.

She wondered if she was even technically human anymore.

But for the moment, she could forgive it all.

Because she was walking. Without mechanical assistance of any kind.

	Things had settled down somewhat since they got back, but Anya was still worried about Sydney. So she went to check on her. She knocked lightly on Syd's door. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Sydney broke from her fixation at the sound of the knock. "Come on in. It's unlocked." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-07-27 02:32 am UTC (link)
	Anya opened the door and poked her head in. "Hey. I just wanted to see how you're doing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Surprisingly well," Sydney admitted. "I mean... I feel like I should be panicking, only... I'm not." She considered her reflection again. "It's not that bad, really." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's good to hear." Anya opened the door wider and stepped into the doorway. "It's definitely different and a unique look. It works though. You're moving around quite well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's... yeah," Sydney admitted. "No pain, no numbness... nothing." She fluttered her wings. "Though I am in serious need of more low-backed shirts." She considered. "Should I be worried I'm not more worried about this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-07-27 04:11 am UTC (link)
	"That's good." Anya smiled. "Shopping for clothes is not a problem. I happen to be an expert." Anya shrugged. "I don't think so. Everyone handles things in different ways. You just happen to be one of those that handles things well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe. Or it hasn't sunk in yet," Sydney replied. Or, of course, there was the more horrifying possibility that the changes had been more than physical. "...Just how badly did we piss off SHIELD?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Point," Anya conceded. "Though if you find yourself needed to talk to a professional about this I can recommend someone. He helped me through the Lady Mandarin stuff."

Anya shrugged. "I think it's in the superhero contract to piss off SHIELD at some point. Double if you're a Stark. Let's just say I got a few very angry voicemails." There had been the one from her mother asking what happened, but Mom seemed more amused than anything.

	"Yeah, well... thanks," Sydney replied. She couldn't remember the last time anyone had really gone to bat for her that way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't mention it. United we stand, divided we cause more chaos, or something like that." Anya grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Outside of the Thunderbolt's HQ, a SWORD shuttlecraft touched down. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-07-28 02:40 am UTC (link)
	Shuttlecraft weren't exactly quiet, so it was quickly noticed. Anya accessed the external security feeds and saw the shuttlecraft. Shit. "Thunderbolts! We got company!" she said into the comms. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Victor narrows his eyes with concern. The old gang had run into SWORD once or twice, due to Karolina and Xavin. They hadn't exactly been cordial affairs. "We'll have cake after we deal with the pendejos." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Among the SWORD agents was the one who'd been on-site command days earlier. A small headset mic broadcast her voice. "Thunderbolts! On SWORD authority, you are here-by ordered to turn over the infectee!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-07-29 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	Anya slipped into her armor and lead the Thunderbolts outside. "You are not taking her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly folded her arms over her chest. "Like hell she's going with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As she spread her wings and felt her fight or flight instincts surge, Sydney felt a strange tingle along her skin... as an armored carapace spread up and over her exposed skin. "Definitely not happening." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Weapons were raised and pointed in the T-Bolts direction. "We're not giving you a choice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't make us do this," Iron Girl said. "This is your last warning." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And we are not giving you a choice, either." Elise lifted her hand and readied a concussive blast. If they fired, she could at least semi-deflect. "Go away. Now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dont_bug_me 2010-07-30 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	The carapace that had formed was armored and spikey, but flexible and lightweight. Sydney wasn't entirely sure what this new body of hers was capable of, but she could already tell it could fight. "This is why I hate big government," she muttered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_sword 2010-07-30 06:19 pm UTC (link)
	"All right, they had their chance," the squad commanded barked. "Take them down." The SWORD agents opened fire. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
