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.

Justin nods. "Yeah, this is a one-shot, one-kill sort of thing and we need to make sure we hit them so hard they don't get up the first time."

He considers working on things out at Xavier's and decides he wants to learn a little bit more about how the place is in this dimension, as well as Tina's work place.

"That makes sense. If you trust the place to hold on to your information, it would make a idea base of operations to plan things out from. And I've really wanted to take a look at the Danger Room since I was a kid. There wasn't a chance to do it where I'm from, so I'm looking forward to it." Justin says.

"I trust that place and those people with my life."

With that settled, his stomach reminded him that he hadn't eaten since breakfast in Moscow. His head went right back into the fridge.

"I'll clear it with the prof and get you a room in the adult wing. The story is that we're working on an armor project. If you mention Red Room or Weapon X to anybody, Dad will hear it. He's supernatural that way."

"Well, then I won't mention either one to anyone. Will I be able to work in privacy? Won't do us any good to keep a secret if people get curious and want to know who the new guy is." Justin says.

"By the way, how long do you think you can keep this information from your Dad? If he thought he deep-sixed this guy...are there any other ways he could find out said guy isn't dead? And what do you want to do about this woman you said could hurt your friends?

Did she outright threaten them? If so, we might want to lean on her early and get that Red Room information to start figuring out how to deal with them." he says.

"They'll only get curious if you hide out from them, but we can make the work area off limits. Not everyone has access to all the sub levels."

Score a take out pan of lasagna. He put that into the microwave.

"Red Room is all about stealth. They put out the best spies in the world. Look at my mother. The daughter won't come out and threaten anyone. I expect right now she's desperately trying to get them to trust her again, and they will because Red Room puts out the best. They don't have any real experience with a Red Room product. I warned Lyta, but I can't order her. They'll go with the blood tie and it'll all be better until she does something that gets somebody killed. She can also teleport into different dimensions as well as from place to place. We'd only get one shot at her."

Ding! A hot pan of pasta, cheese and meat sauce was removed and served up.

"Red Room's lasted this long because they're that good and they have government backing. I want Shostakov, but I won't find him unless his daughter lets me. Weapon X is my best bet now. Take away that leg and his current plan is screwed up. I don't want Dad involved until I don't have a choice. He's...cranky. They need him at the mansion, not off chasing a phantom until we can get better information and keep Mom, Anya, and Toni, out of the line of fire instead of running into it."

Justin is pleased that Misha picked the lasagna. Tina's lasagna is the food of gods and he's been meaning to have it since she made it a couple of nights ago.

"Well, I can rig up something to handle the teleporting if it comes down to it. And then...if we need to, we can find out where this Shostakov guy is." Justin says.

"I'll need all the information you have on Weapon X and their agents. If they're still based out of Canada and have the backing of their government...we'll definitely have to run this operation on tight schedule to avoid getting tangled up with Alpha Flight.

It would be just our luck to have Canada's premier super-team on our ass instead of the bad guys. You know where any of their facilities are? If we've got locations, I've got a little bit of an idea forming in my head." Justin says.

"Oh, and is there anything else you can think of that your armor needs? Best I know now so I can get it worked up and put together."

"I can get past information on Weapon X from Xavier's." Misha dished himself up a good serving and ate standing up. He thought better on his feet. "And what I've collected from the current roster. I'm not worried about Alpha Flight. They had their own run in with Weapon X when they pulled me and David out when we were taken. Their last two bases were either destroyed or compromised. I made sure the last one was empty before I called SHIELD in to collect the equipment so they couldn't use it again. We're starting from scratch on this, I'm afraid."

"Unless we want to start playing chicken and lure them out. Creed hates me so much you'd think I'd dumped him for a cheerleader. His leash isn't all that tight and he's itching to take me apart."

Yes, that certainly gives Justin an idea or two.

"This compromised base could be useful to us if Weapon X is still operating out of Canada. We can use their tactics against them." Justin says.

"This Creed guy might be able to help us, too, if we can get our hands on him. We get him to come to us, then we find a way to take the information straight out of his head. He's got to have handlers of some kind, so if we can get them to reveal themselves, we can use them to follow the links up the chain." Justin speculates.

"And somewhere along that chain, we might even find something about Red Room and Shostakov."

	"As for the armor, I might've taken a few hits on the last battle. It's getting me where I need to go, but kind of sluggish. Or it could be me. I'm a little sluggish. I need some sleep." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right. How about you get some sleep, and I'll take a look at your armor while you do. Between the two, we'll figure out where the problem is." Justin grins. "We'll bring these bastards down, Misha. We've got the tools and the desire. The rest will fall into place." Justin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I know you're right." Misha finished his snack and rose to rinse the plate to put it in the dishwasher. "I have a problem slowing down to get the details, but if I don't I'll blow it." He smiled a little. "Stark was right again, damn him. I need you and your cool head."

He turned to face Justin. "Thanks. I appreciate it. Everything. I'll sleep while you tinker with the armor and then we'll head out to Xavier's later."

	"No need to thank me, Misha. Just make sure you're on top of your game and we'll make this happen." Justin says. "I'll be ready to head out when you are." Justin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)
