It had taken Dax a few days to finally get everything in place. They couldn't screw this up. They only had one shot. Hannah had not exactly been...patient over the last few days. She had been pissed at Dax when she had realized he had lied to her about what he had overheard in the phone call between Isabella Stark and this Frank guy. She had yelled at him and threatened to leave him, but he had begged...pleaded with her to stay. Although she had told him she had another guy who could do his job, she really didn't. Dax had worked harder after that to get her suit ready and prepare to disrupt the energy field.The plan was for Hannah to climb up and phase into the elevator. She would then have to climb up the elevator shaft and phase into the living area. Today was finally the day and Hannah was determined to get blood payback for her father's death. She hated Serena Stark with every fiber of her being and would kill her with her own hands. She wouldn't make it a quick death though...she would make the girl suffer, just as she had suffered after her father's death.

Inside the Tower, Serena was going a little nuts being cooped up. She wasn't sleeping very well and not even working in the lab was taking her mind off of everything anymore. It was Thanksgiving Day and her mother and Kate were in the kitchen cooking. Peter and Steve were trying to distract her by playing a board game, but Serena's heart really wasn't into it. She was depressed and angry and hated feeling helpless to do anything.

Peter did enjoy being at the tower. He had missed being with Serena. Having her next to him night after night in her bed, playing board games and cards and video games. Working out, swimming and a few dips in the hot tub that they both really enjoyed. His Aunt May was very bummed out that he would not be spending the holiday with her but she had been invited to spend the holiday with friends so at least he knew she wasn’t alone.

He could tell Serena was about to explode though. She was always like this. Feeling guilty for something she had no control over. Once, when they got into a very bad argument she had said that she should leave the tower and face whomever this was on her own. That she didn’t want to be responsible for someone else being hurt or killed. Well, Peter flat out would not allow that. She had relented but he knew it still weighed heavily in her mind.

Monopoly was a long game and there was no clear winner yet. The smells that came from the kitchen were incredible and Natalya practically had to stand guard to keep Logan from snacking on everything before they were ready.

Tony had been working in the lab finishing up Serena’s suit when Jarvis told him that there was an issue with the satellite. And that ‘he’ was no longer in control of it. “Jarvis, so were we hacked or is it some kind of malfunction,” Tony asked as he stopped what he was doing. “If it was a malfunction, I would have been given data about it,” Jarvis said. “Sir, I’ve detected a malicious program and its trying to infiltrate me,” Jarvis said.

——————-

Dax has no choice but to do what Hannah said. She had physically hurt him and threatened him. That and he loved her so he hacked into Jarvis and took over the satellite. Is that he was in though he decided to help Hannah more. He locked out the elevator, disabled the energy fields and security.

———————-

Hannah’s suit allowed her to blend in with her surroundings and phase through matter. It was an upgrade from her father’s suit, perfected by Dax and herself. Once Dax have her the go ahead, she stepped into the building phases and then I phased once she reached the elevator shaft: she had a magnetic grappling gun and a host of other gadgets available to her as well as weapons.

———————

The low hum of the energy field suddenly stopped in the tower and all of the lights and power shit off as well. The emergency lighting turned on as well as the generators Tony had installed. Steve and Peter looked up from their game and everyone began to move to equip themselves for an attack.

“Damn, that Turkey smelled good too!” Logan said as he moved toward the elevator.

Isabella had been cooking for most of the morning and early afternoon. She had a very big turkey but also a ham and a variety of side dishes. Kate was helping her and thankfully Natalya was keeping Logan out of the kitchen. Although it was a holiday, everyone remained on edge and on high alert. Kate and Natalya were both armed and Steve kept his shield next to him at all times.

Serena was agitated, but tried to focus on the game. Serena was usually very competitive when it came to anything, especially games, but today her heart was only half into it. Then, the hum of the energy field suddenly stopped and the power went out. The backup generator did not come on. Isabella immediately pressed a button on her comm link and called her suit to her. Natalya pulled out her pistol, as did Kate, and Serena stood up and formed an energy orb in one hand.

Hannah phased through the elevator and found herself face to face with the entire Avengers team. She was wearing a suit similar to her father's, but it was red. "I'm here for Serena Stark."

Tony had wanted to make the last minute checks but there just wasn’t time. There were things he would have added but once again, he had no time and they were coming...for his daughter! In his newest suit Tony came out of the lab and moved up to Serena. “Put this on,” He said as Serena caught it. She had to disband her orb to catch it just as Peter’s suit began to form around him. Steve was just in his clothes but held his shield. “Good luck trying to move through this!” he said and tossed his shield at the woman just as she drew her pistol to fire at Serena. The shield his her hand and the pistol flew out of her grasp and she growled. The moment Serena put the new wrist comm on her wrist Tony hit something on his gauntlet. There was a woosh of sound from the lab and suddenly suit pieces were attaching themselves to Serena.

Natalya, Kate and Logan attacked the Red clad woman together…

Natalya picked up Steve’s shield just as the woman ran at her. Logan was close behind her with his claws out and Kate fired at her. Bullets went right through the woman, two had hit Logan but he didn’t stop. She looked like she was going to run through Natalya so she braced herself with the shield however the woman kicked her legs up onto the shield, flipped up into the air then dropped a small disk onto the floor as she used her mag hook to propel her up toward the high ceiling. Natalya covered the disk with the shield and covered it with her body. Logan fell on top of her and when the device exploded, the force flipped them over together and they landed in a heap. Peter shot webs at the woman but they just went through her. Tony and Isabella’s beams did the same. Finally Serena’s helmet attached to hr and the facemask closed over her face and the electronic HUD appeared inside her helmet.

Chaos seemed to explode within the Tower. The woman pulled a pistol to fire at her, but Steve disarmed her with his shield before she could pull the trigger. Serena looked over and saw her father as he suddenly appeared from the lab. He tossed her a new wrist comm and she put it on as he had instructed. As she did, Tony hit something on his gauntlet and Serena heard the unmistakable sound of a suit approaching her. She knew that sound well and she watched as her own suit began to form around her. The helmet attached last and as the face mask closed she saw the electronic HUD appear. She knew she could communicate with Jarvis through her helmet.

“Jarvis, can you detect any weaknesses in her suit?”

“I...appear...to be...having....difficulty,” Jarvis said in her helmet. “Diff...read…” He said and then nothing. Hannah had a helmet on ofcourse and she flung something quickly toward Serena. Before it landed on her Peter slapped it away with his hand. The small disk flew toward the living area and then exploded. The couch and recliners blew up and burned stuffing, fabric, leather and goose feathers filled the air. Peter jumped up to the ceiling near her and for the moment her attention shifted toward him.

“Get your your shield up and stay out of the fighting Serena!” Tony snapped and then flew up so he too was closer to her. He activated polaron beam and once it hit her the magnets in her feet, hands and grappling device failed. She fell toward the floor and to their surprise she fell through the floor and disappeared into the lower level. By then Steve had his shield and everyone was back onto their feet.

Hannah fell then rolled and ended up back onto her feet. She pulled a small device from her belt and then tossed them on the walls near the stairs. The devices stuck there and projected some kind of invisible beam between them. She releaded her grappling gun and drew her second pistol as she waited for them to arrive.

Serena was once again lucky that Peter had been there. If he hadn't slapped away that disc she would have been killed. She immediately activated her suit's shield and defense systems. She stayed back, but had no intention of running away. She wouldn't watch anyone else in her life suffer at the hands of this woman because she was after her.

Serena watched as the woman fell straight through the floor. Her suit was very much like her father's in that regard. Serena was fascinated by how it worked.

Kate looked at the others. "Ok, we need a game plan here. Tony, do you think there is any way to disable her suit?"

Tony did not wait around for them to plan or deliberate. He flew out of the room and maneuvered down the stairs. Peter and Logan were right behind him and Isabella was behind them. Steve did not follow. “We stay behind and protect Serena,” he said as he hefted his shield.

The moment Tony made it down the stairs an arc of yellow energy struck him. The odd thing was it arced around his suit than shot out toward the nearest metal, the set of weights against the wall. Tony came straight at the woman but the woman shifted forward and ended up between him and those that came after him. From her wrist she spewed a flout of fire at Peter and he jumped back.

Kate sighed and watched as Tony, Isabella, Logan, and Peter all left the room and went down the stairs. She looked at Steve and nodded when he said they would protect Serena. "At least we have a plan."

Serena sighed and looked at Steve and Kate. "Can't I..." Before she could even finish her question both Steve and Kate looked sharply at her and answered in unison. "No."

Isabella was back behind Peter and she quickly extended her shield to go around him as well to protect him from the fire. When the fire died down Isabella shot a repulsor beam at her.

The moment Isabella’s beam passed through Hannah she shot several times back at her. The bullets bounced off her shielding. Tony grabbed Hannah from behind but as he tossed her back, the moment he let her go she phased then stuck to the ceiling. She drew her knife then launched herself at Logan. Her knife phased with her and as she flew by him she slashed him though most of her body remained phased. Logan’s claws missed her and he growled as fresh blood poured from the long slash wound that scored along his ribs. She kipped up and slashed at Isabella. The weapon managed to cut through her shield and armor and yet her attack passed right through her. Her knife pierced Isabella’s forearm. Tony moved up behind her and the 5 of them were in a heated melee where it was difficult to hit her but hr knife was able to hit them. Peter managed to hit her face with a web and Isabella managed to punch her but they all now bled from wounds they had taken from her knife.

As the others stayed upstairs they saw something use a cutting beam to cut a large, round opening in the glass doorwall. It looked like some kind of flying drone. “Well that doesn’t look friendly,” he said.

Natalya had a deep cut across her side, but she didn't even feel it. After Peter webbed her and Isabella punched her, Natalya managed to get her arms around Hannah to hold her. "Get the damn suit off of her!" She knew they didn't stand a chance if this girl could continue to phase through everything...including them.

Kate heard a noise and looked over to see what appeared to be a flying drone using a cutting beam to cut a round opening in the glass doorwall. She looked over at Steve. "Take it out."

The glass fell in and the drone flew in and rose up to the ceiling. When Steve flung his shield the drone dodged it and then fired some kind of energy weapon at them. Kate dodged away from it, Serena put up her shield and Steve tumbled to get his shield. Once he had it he turned toward the drone and used his shield to block the beam.

--------------

Hannah elbowed Natalya in the face twice and Natalya was forced to let go of her. Once she did she phased once again and her knife began to slash and her hands and feet punched and kicked at them. She was extremely adept at using her suit to great effect. Attacking and avoiding being touched by their attacks. As they fought with her and those upstairs fought with the drone Tony began modifying his polaron beam to emit a sustained burst that he hoped would nullify her suits phasing ability.

"Kate! Over here!" Serena yelled to get Kate's attention. Kate quickly got up and ran over to Serena and got behind her so she was protected by her energy shield. Serena waited for the drone to be facing away from them and then she dropped her shield and fired an energy blast at the drone.

----------------------

Natalya tried to keep a grip on Hannah, but she was forced to let her go before they could disable her suit. Natalya tried everything she could against this woman, but because she had the ability to phase the fight was truly one sided. Isabella spoke directly to Tony through their suits. "Tony, any ideas on how to defeat this girl?"

The explosion that shook the area made everyone glance up at the ceiling. “No!” Tony said. “Serena, what’s happening!” Tony said quickly through his comms. “Isabella just keep her distracted, I need a few more seconds!” Tony said as he frantically tried to modify his suit on the fly...in the middle of a fight. Logan was a bloody mess but was healing. Even so he swiped at the suited woman in a frantic frenzy. He growled as the woman twisted, slashed, then move and twisted again and slashed him in the back. She could phase and attack at the same time. Peter managed to catch her wrist with a web but when she phased it didn’t hold. Only when they were able to grab her was the person that had grabbed her able to phase with her and thus, possibly do harm to her. Isabella had several cuts but only one was bad and that was on her thigh. She felt the warmth of the blood that flowed down her leg inside her suit. Already though her suit injected her with a coagulant in hopes it would slow the bleeding. For the others she could do nothing however.

Natalya pulled her own knife but the woman was fast. As they came in she phased through them then slashed at them. Natalya was wise to that tactice by now though and managed to block her attack with her own blade. “Natalya, I’ve always wanted to meet you. I must say though...I’m very...disappointed,” She said mockingly.

The blast hit the drone but it was heavily armored. It had a middle ring and was shaped like a large orb. The middle ring spun and its main weapon blasted at her which only enhanced her power. In the control room Dax saw what was happening and decided that he needed to change the polarity of its cutting beam. As Kate shot at it and Serena blasted it again it emitted its cutting beam toward Serena. To her surprise she saw her power levels being drained from its weapon.

Natalya was cut in several places, one of them quite badly, but she didn't even seem to notice. Her adrenaline was pumping so fast that she didn't even feel the pain. She had been watching how Hannah would attack and she had started to figure out a pattern to what she was doing. This enabled her to block the girl's attack as she came at her. Natalya glared at her. "Take off that damn suit and fight me and see what happens! I bet you're nothing without it!"

Isabella told Jarvis a number to call...it was Frank's number. She didn't know where he was, but if he was nearby they could use his help. "Frank! We're being attacked in the Tower. You were right. It is Hannah Morley and she has a version of her father's suit."

Serena anticipated the attack by the drone and she was able to absorb the blast and increase her powers. She fired at the weapon again, but to her horror she she saw her power levels being drained by the weapon's beam. Clearly the person who was controlling it was observing what was going on and had changed something on the drone. Serena quickly dodged the cutting beam and left her shield up.

Kate had to take a chance. She was currently back behind Steve and his shield. She readied her gun and looked at him. "I'm going to try taking out the beam emitter." It was risky because she would have to step out from behind the protection of the shield to get a clean shot. If she didn't get the shot in time she could be hurt or even killed by this thing. She took a deep breath and stepped out and took aim and fired. Kate was an excellent shot and the shot flew true and struck the beam emitter cleanly.

The drone’s beam cut off right after the shot but even as it did another weapon spun around its weaponry ring and it began to fire explosive rounds at her. Steve had deflected one but the impact had knocked him back off of his feet. The impacts continued to force Serena back and Kate and Steve were forced to dodge out of the way. Serena’s shield was flickering, her suit had used its reserves during the devastating attack and the force of the explosions buffeted up against her and forced her to grit her teeth. If she put down the shield to shoot at the weapon she’s take at least one of those heavy explosive rounds on her armor. As she began to use her internal reserves she felt her balance give way and she fell down onto one knee as she forced herself to keep the shield up.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw a dark shape move near the doorwall where the drone cut its way inside.

-----------------------------

Blades and Logan’s claws flashed and all Isabella could do is try to avoid the woman’s combat knife. Hannah exalted in this kind of fighting. Close quarters and she had bloodied them. More and more the situation had grown tense, Logan flourished his claws trying to catch some part of her that wasn’t phased. “Got it!” Tony said just as the woman feinted toward Logan than spun, feinted again at Natalya than plunged her knife into Natalya’s stomach. Natalya though grabbed hold of the woman’s hand and for a brief moment her arm had materialized. Long enough for Tony to aim his arm at her and fire his polaron beam.

The moment the beam struck her suit her entire body had materialized. Long enough for Natalya to see Logan’s claws pierce through her from the back and exit in a spray of blood out of her chest. Hannah’s eyes grew wide at the feel of cold steel pierce into her body.

Natalya was not aware of any pain at first. She felt a little pressure but could feel her own warm blood start to flow down her hand. There was a coppery smell that filled the air and Natalya could taste her own blood in her mouth. However, she didn’t move. She held onto Hannah’s hand even as Tony’s polaron beam hit Hannah’s suit and she fully materialized. In that moment Logan’s claws went straight through Hannah’s chest. Natalya looked at them as they stopped just before hitting her. As Hannah’s body dropped to the ground, Natalya felt the dagger blade slip from her body. Natalya felt her legs start to give out from under her and Logan caught her just before she hit the ground. Moments later Natalya lost consciousness.


——————————

Serena tried desperately to remain on her feet, but her body’s energy levels were waning quickly. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a dark figure. She didn’t know who it was but she couldn’t worry about that right now. She felt she had just enough energy left to fire again at the drone. She knew there was a risk but she needed to take it. She dropped her shield and fired an energy blast at the drone with the last strength she had.

Serena’s blast hit the drone but its armor held. It shifted to her attack but it did not fall. She heard it load another magazine of those powerful explosive rounds and knew it was going to shoot them at her. However before it shot the figure just outside the glass shot at the drone. The weapon was loud and had a low metallic sound as it rattled off round and after round at the drone in quick succession. Very fast. The spray of armor piercing bullets tossed the drone about as it tried to remain where it was to shoot her. The rounds continued to pound at it as barrel flashes flickered in the dim light of the area. Pieces of metal began to fall off of the drone and then it turned sideways and fell to the floor with a crash. For just a moment there was silence and a small tendril of white smoke came up from the drone as the large, red eye embedded in its body winked out.

----------------------------

Hannah fell to the floor but managed to turn onto her side. “Sounds like...I’ve killed her...anyway…” she said weakly. She chuckled, a weak, pathetic chuckle and then sighed as she took her last breath.

“Serena!” Tony yelled terrified that all the shooting and explosions meant what Hannah had said. Logan took Natalya straight to the infirmary why everyone else clamoured up the stairs. As they passed by the doorwall Isabella saw a dark figure remove his mask. He was tall and broad and he dropped a very large weapon down onto the concrete at his feet. It was Frank, he had come after all.

The floor around Serena was badly damaged. The steel supports underneath had been exposed. Kate and Steve were both wounded but he had protected them with his shield. Peter ran up to Serena. “Serena...Serena!” he cried as he fell to his knees before her.

Serena knew there was nothing she could do as her attack failed. She didn’t have enough energy to get her suit’s shield back up. She was completely exposed and vulnerable. She began to tremble as she heard the drone load another magazine and prepare to fire at her. But then, just before it could start she heard shots being fired and looked over to see the mysterious figure holding a large weapon that he fired at the drone. The drone didn’t stand a chance. The rounds were fast and furious and Serena protected herself as the drone suddenly fell from the air and smashed into the ground.

She looked over at the man as she removed her helmet. The man removed his mask and Serena was relieved to see it was Frank. Suddenly, Peter and her parents came rushing upstairs and Peter ran over to her. “I’m fine,” she reassured him. “Just feeling a little weak.”

Isabella made sure Serena was alright before she moved over to where Frank was. She put her arms around him and held him for a moment knowing he had saved Serena’s life. “Thank you.”

Peter hugged Serena to him and kissed her over and over until she made him stop. “Oh god I was so afraid,” Peter murmured to her. Frank panted heavily as he looked at Isabella. “Did you ‘have’ to make the tower so tall? It took me forever to climb up here!” Frank said. Tony came over and extended his hand to Frank. “Thanks Frank, for...Everything,” Tony said with difficulty. But he had said it and Frank shook his hand. Steve and Kate had gotten to their feet but they were very shaky from all of the concussion from the explosions. “I’ll take her down to the infirmary,” Steve said. “Isabella, you go to, your tracking blood everywhere,” Tony said. “How bad is it?” Both he and Frank asked at the same time.

Serena was physically alright, but was shaken up and very tired. She let Peter help her to her feet and they headed back to her room. Isabella had known she had been injured but didn’t realize just how badly until Tony commented about her tracking blood. She looked down at her thigh and then back up at Tony and Frank who had asked her simultaneously how bad her injury was. She glanced from Frank to Tony before responding.

“I’ll be fine. I need a few stitches is all.”
