After all is said and done....
(takes place after the Champions plus Misha rescue the kids)

Lyta waited outside the Champions headquarters for Misha to return. After what had gone down when they were rescuing the kids, yes she'd admit that she was a bit worried about him. Then again, she hadn't known that Irina's father that had been the man, nor did she know that he was responsible for kidnapping and experimenting on the children. While every fiber of her being had wanted Misha to end Alexi right there and then...but the fact that he was Irina's father and her blood that stopped her.

Still, she could tell from the look in Misha's eyes that he was upset, enraged even. She couldn't just go to sleep.

And so, she waited, leaning against the wall, sipping on a hot cup of tea that she'd made.

He hadn't intended to go back to New Orleans. Everything he left was disposable. Except Lyta, and since he'd been part of the rescue operation under the Champions name, he would be a good player and check in before he went home.

He was in stealth mode when he landed a few yards away from her. Opting not to scare her with a sudden appearance, he opened a comm line to her cell number.

	Lyta's cell phone was something that rarely left her side. She took it out of her pocket, answering it. "Where are you?" Yes, she was worried and it came through in her voice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shut down stealth mode and took off the helmet. "How are the kids?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're a little shaken from everything, but they're fine. Corey's feeding them." A look of concern crossed her face. "How're you doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not good," he said quietly. "Bad. I found the computer rooms and labs in the base. S.H.I.E.L.D. has it all now. They'll go through it and see what information can be retrieved. Once they were done, I brought it all down. The suit has a lot of firepower." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She touched his cheek with her hand. "I didn't know. That who did that you...that who tortured those kids..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know. He's supposed to be dead. Dad killed him in Moscow the night Mom was took the throne. It was a shock, and then to find out who Irina is...and she protected him. That..." He broke it off and shook his head. It was far more than he could say at the moment. "Are you and the others okay, too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He is her father," she said, "There's something to be said for that, no matter how much of a monster he is. I don't believe that she knew what he was up to- why would she have helped us, then?" She sighed. "We're fine for the most part. We just want the kids to be safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-07-12 02:44 am UTC (link)
	He ignored the part about Irina. "Once the kids are settled somewhere safe, I'll ask Valentina Fontaine if SHIELD discovered any records to show where they were stolen and what happened to them. I'm also going to hunt down Weapon X. I'm tired of Creed jumping on me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not by yourself." It was a statement, not a question. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-07-12 03:13 am UTC (link)
	He ignored that as well. He wasn't the one that made it personal. "If I left anything, just toss it or give it to Good Will. Corey will probably already have one marked on a map." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I just won't let her touch me then, now will I? And I'll just have to avoid using my telepathy on you. I'm not letting you take down the entire organization by yourself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's Weapon X, Lyta. I'll never take down the whole thing, but I can do something about Creed and Tessa. You have the children. They'll be crippled for awhile. Now is the best time if I can get a lead on them."

He covered the hand on his face with his gloved one. "She doesn't need to touch you do that. Everyone was down on the floor, including their people. Besides, you have a team here to take care of." He paused. "Are you staying on the Champions?"

	"The others can look after the kids. You'll have a better chance if you've got someone to cover your back." "I'll be careful not to trigger it this time. I used my telepathy and didn't know better. Now, I do. Besides, they can spare me for a couple of days." She nodded. "Yes. I'm staying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-07-13 12:19 am UTC (link)
	His jaw tightened but he didn't say it. "You are more useful with those kids. If they're valuable enough, Weapon X will come after them. You have resources, contacts. I can't believe we're arguing about this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta pursed her lip. "Fine," she said grudgingly after some thought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-07-15 02:57 pm UTC (link)
	He leaned in to kiss her cheek. He wanted to hold her close, but not against the armor. The armor wasn't him. "I love you," he said quietly. "I want to keep you safe from this and I know I can't with that woman around. The best thing for us now is that I leave before I make things worse. If I find out something and need help, I'll call." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-07-16 02:44 am UTC (link)
	"I love you," she kissed him. "And you better call me. Or I'll have to kick your ass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-07-16 12:52 pm UTC (link)
	He let her words wash over him, the tightness in his chest easing a little. "I will. You watch your back. I don't trust Irina. There is every possibility that she's a Red Room plant." (Reply to this)(Parent)
