Meeting of the Minds
Justin's phone got Misha's message not long after he sent it, but Justin had been busy seeing Tina off. Once she was headed off to work, Justin calls Misha back.

"Hey, I'm up to talk when you are. I'll be at the penthouse." Justin says, driving himself back there. Tina's apartment was too quiet without her.

He'll be waiting inside, working on one of his armor's gauntlets when Misha arrives.

It's several hours before Misha arrives by way of the balcony. Having started the pizza party and instigated the movie viewing, he stayed at the institute until it was over.

He used the touchpad outside the kitchen door to gain access. He removed the suit as soon as he was inside. It felt good to breathe. It felt confining and he knew he'd spent far too much time in it lately. He needed the break.

"I'm back!" he called out.

	"Right here." Justin says from the couch. "Got some designs you need to see, but we'll get to that. What's up?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Misha followed the voice into the library and went directly to the bar. It occurred to him, briefly, that he was drinking a lot lately, but it had so little effect on him that the habit wasn't interfering yet. As long as he stayed away from the vodka.

Beer from the bar fridge. Couldn't get safer than that. He disappeared briefly behind the bar to reach the small fridge, then straightened with a sigh to get an opener. "Hey. Everything going all right? I ask because I might be about to make it difficult on Stark's suggestion."

	"Yeah, more or less. My girlfriend is doing work in a place that might kill her, or seriously injure her and won't quit...but otherwise, I'm good." Justin says. Misha's comment earns him a look. "Did Stark do something to piss you off?" Justin asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not this time. We're actually in agreement on something and I expect the world will end any second." Dark humor, just what he needed to get through this talk. He got another beer and fell back into an easy chair. "You ever hear of Red Room or Weapon X?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Justin grimaces, taking a seat across from Misha.

"Red Room, no, but Weapon X, I know about. In my world, those guys were the Government's go-to guys for terror and torture of mutants. The guy that ran the place was a real piece of work. Commander Howlett.

Osborn sent my mother there not long after she was captured. Never saw her again." Justin says.

"They on Stark's radar or yours?" Justin asks.

"I'm pretty sure a government is backing them here, but which one is a toss up. It could be this one or Canada like it was in the past. My dad has history with the Canadian version, and it's carried over to now and with me and my younger brother David. I have some files i've put together on what I know and the two members I've had contact with. One of them is Nicholas Creed. Does the name Creed ring a bell from your version of Weapon X?"

	"Yeah, another real piece of work, there. Victor Creed. And you said these guys have been after you and your brother? When?" Justin asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Last fall. They used the oldest trick in the book, a redhead." He could joke about it now, barely. "Tessa Reece. She's a mutant. I'm not sure what she does exactly, but she can make you relive your nightmares. Creed's a mutant, too, and he has a real hate going on. I need to hunt them and Weapon X down. Before they make another grab for David and now Rose."

He held up his bottle to peer through it. "Weapon X appears to have climbed into bed with Red Room."

	"And what is Red Room getting out of this?" Justin asks. "You got anything on them?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Red Room used to be the Russian agency for their version of the Super Soldier that created Captain America. They also took little girls for their Black Widows. Do you know about them?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Not much. The only Black Widow I ever knew back home was your mom, and she never talked about herself much." Justin says.

"So, you've got one group that likes to kidnap mutants and experiment on them, and another group that snatches children to brainwash them to be killers. Both of these groups need to be shut down and anyone working with them needs to be shown a nice deep hole in the dirt somewhere." Justin says.

"How do you want to go about this, Misha?" Justin asks.

Misha held up a hand. "It's not that easy. Red Room is extensive and there are complications, staring with my mother's former husband using it as a method of revenge against her and ending up with Dad killing him for snatching me. Except he's not dead and his daughter is in a position to hurt people I care about if I make a move. It's another long story but the upshot is, Stark and I agree Mom and Anya are strictly in the dark. No one gets told."

"Right now I want to go after Weapon X. It's a start. I need help finding them and upgrading my armor to do it alone if I have to."

	"Yeah, I did." Misha checked the fridge for juice. The taste for beer was gone for the moment. "Probably because we're doing something. I called ahead and the prof is expecting a guest for awhile. Got you a room in the adult wing near mine. And Dad's, so don't forget the man can smell fear and hear any secret within fifty feet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can fly, or we can take my car, in case you want nap a bit more." Justin says. "The girlfriend totaled hers, and decided it would better if I drove the new one she bought until she felt okay behind the wheel again. If the logic baffles you, I understand. I'm still trying to figure how she rigged this up in her head." Justin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't question girl logic. The wives cured me of that a long time ago. We should probably take the car so you have normal transportation out there. We can't even get a pizza delivery." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Justin nods. "Car it is. Mind if we stop by Chipotle on the way? I need a burrito." Justin says. "Did Tony say anything about wanting progress reports or some such? I want to factor that into my time table as well if he does." Justin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
