Anya looked at the clock and blinked. It was nine am. More importantly, what day was it? Since getting her new toy she had been one busy Stark and had lost track of what day it was. She would probably get a lecture from someone, but hey shiny new toy.

While she wouldn't get her license back for another week, she could work on her new car. Sure it was nice and shiny and was a nice machine, but it could always be improved. She tore it apart the second after she had gotten it in the garage. Well, she tore the power system apart. The batteries were going to be replaced by the new nifty zero point energy module she and Justin had invented.

The problem she had run into and had been trying to solve for awhile now was keeping the car's power systems from overloading from the new power source. Power systems were not her strong point. Dad and Justin were better with them. She could always ask one of them, but she really wanted to figure this out on her own.

Anya rubbed her eyes. Maybe some fresh air would help. Sleep would probably be best, but since the nightmare the other night she didn't want to sleep. Not unless she really had to.

She had thought she was past Temujin and the nightmares. Apparently she wasn't quite yet. Lucas's help did a lot of good getting him out of her mind, but one couldn't control dreams. Though she did admit that this had been the first one in a few months.

She sent an email to Lyta. There was planning and plotting that needed to be done and they only had a week. Anya had an idea of what they should do, but she wanted to run it by Lyta and see if it would work with her. Then she sent another email. This one was a special request and Anya didn't think she'd be allowed access, but it never hurt to ask.

Back to work until she got a reply to her inquiry.

	Luna knocked on the door to Anya's lab. She hadn't seen the other girl since she'd gotten back, and Anya was always fun to talk to. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Anya smiled. "They could use the help. They had some leave for a mission and they don't know when they'll be back." Normally Anya would say we, but she still wasn't an Avenger again. Soon. Very soon. "Do I get to meet this friend?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Anya got a reply to her email and was quite surprised she had been granted access. S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't normally let civilians in to visit prisoners, but apparently they made an exception this time.

She didn't know why she was doing this. No, she did. She had to close the book on this once and for all. Lucas had helped her get Temujin out of her head, but she had to see him sitting in a cell and totally defeated.

Her actions and the associated guilt weighed heavily on her. She had hurt people as Lady Mandarin and it was something she couldn't undo or take back. It was her burden to bear her entire life.

Screwing her courage to the sticking pole she headed to the location S.H.I.E.L.D. had provided.

He isn't the man he once was. The entire right side of his face and the remnants of his right arm have the discolorations of skin grafts. He's completely shaven, and shows the atrophy of a lot of time in the hospital unable to move. Even now, he has hydration tubes. The need for the latter elevates his right arm, making it that much clearer than he has no right hand.

At first, he doesn't notice anyone has entered the room.

Her heart had to be racing at a million miles an hour. Blood pounded in her ears.

She looked at him and...felt sorry for him. Sad that he ended up like this because of some stupid unnecessary hatred for her father. He could have done a lot of good with his mind and abilities and instead he turned them to evil. All because his father hated hers and the hatred had been passed down to him.

She didn't speak. There was nothing to say. She had only wanted to see him and put him behind her.

He finally notices her. For just a moment, there's a spark in his eyes. Old hatred, old obsession. And then it clouds over. He's lost, he knows it. At some point, he's raged impotently, bargained, even made a thousand plans for escape that never materialized, and finally he accepted. The rings are gone, and with it, the Mandarin. He looks down, unable to face her any longer.

	She wanted to tell him to enjoy S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hospitality for the rest of his life, but it would be petty and she was above that. She saw the spark in his eye and she watched it fade just as fast. He was beaten. Even if he did manage to break out of S.H.I.E..L.D.'s custody, he would never be as powerful as he once was. He was no longer a threat. She turned to go.

	He retains one last bit of dignity. There's no parting threats, no venom. He lost his honor a long time ago in relentless pursuit of an obsession, and it cost him everything. He just looks away, and finally just lets Anya Stark walk out of his life. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Aine was almost finished unpacking, she was still amazed at how big the room was and the closet was bigger than some of the hotel rooms that Luna and her had stayed at in Europe. Aine couldn’t help but compare how nice it was to the room that her mother had back with her old superhero team. The only thing that could make this better would be if she could find a good place that they would let her set up a workshop so she could work on her gear.
