Haven City

Cowl then holds out her arm. "This kind would be helpful."

Kieth looked at her arm "What am I looking at?"

"Well...I don't THINK I had a metal arm last time we had us a friendly chat."

James cocked his eyebrow looking at her arm. "I'll leave you to this Keith, I'm going to follow up on some of our leads with HYDRA." He said walking out.

Aleksandra stands in the doorway. "Techno-organic virus. Common in mutants rare in people unless frequently exposed to nanites...first case in Russia 1985...it was a big deal apparently."

"...I know where HYDRA is going to launch the attack. Of course by the time you're ready to mobilize it'll be too late. I don't know the grand scheme but once this here is taken care of I can get back in and feed you whatever leads I can. Telepathy doesn't work on me. Best infiltration specialist my...agency...has to offer."

"There won't be a cure for 15 years," Aleksandra says, turning her head.

Molly listens in from the door on the opposite side of the room with Lynx.

Cowl suddenly freezes. "Wha...how do you."

"Time travel is a very loose subject...nothing we can do."

James looked at Cowl. "Tell us where they will strike or we let that virus kill you. Russia may not have a cure but Swift Industries provided the Special Corps with one."

"Well the virus wouldn't exactly kill you, it'd just very slowly and painfully tear you apart until it turns you into a machine woman...and it's always adapting. That cure won't be good for much longer.

"I don't know an exact location just that it's somewhere in France. Think you can make it?"

Alex glances across the room seeing Molly and Lynx who quickly duck into the next room. "Hm...I'll be right back," she says on her way out.

James rolled his eyes at Aleksandra, she clearly didn't understand the cure had already been developed by SI. He looked at Cowl. "Find out where in France exactly, it's a pretty big country."

(I actually had an idea about the cure that involve Molly's 13 year old thing but it requires the cure to not yet exist)

Aleksandra walks into the other room to find Molly and Lynx pretending to watch TV. "All right, what are you two up to?"

(Well I know HB had them develop a cure for a techno-organic virus awhile back, but okay)

(Maybe it could be a different virus?)

Cowl shook her head. "They launch tomorrow. No way I'd be able to find out in time."


"What's time travel?" Molly asks Aleksandra.

"Then you're pretty much useless right now." James said walking out to tell Frank France was the target country.

Cowl then got up and walked to a rest room, looking in the mirror as her scars have grown larger. Meanwhile Alex attempts to explain to Molly and Lynx how Time Travel really works.

Arthur went off to get some food until he was needed.

James walked into the kitchen seeing Arhtur. "Hey." He said.

Frank was informing the higher ups about the attack.

"Evenin' sir", Arthur said taking out a pot and a pan.

"Sir?" James chuckled a little getting a water bottle.

"Ah, sorry, I mix you and your father up", Arthur said

"Not sure if that's a good or bad thing." James said opening his water.

"It won't happen again. It's been a long day. Like every other day", Arthur said almost sadly as he started frying some bacon.

Cowl notices as the lights in the bathroom flicker and thinks of it as nothing then has a revelation, dashing around the mansion until she finds the two in the kitchen. "PARIS! I heard a HYDRA goon mention something about really 'lighting up' the place. City of Lights, Attack on France, it's Paris. Where's Frank?"


After Aleksandra leaves the two in the living room with the TV on, Molly turns it off. "Time Travel sounds fun. Would I get to see my mommy when she was my age?"

"Sure sounded like it to me," Lynx ponders. "Why don't you try it, she said with a little practice you might be able to do it."

"She said a LOT of practice."

"Then practice a lot. Easy!"

James sighed and leaned on the fridge. "You good man?"

Arthur looked at James before listening to Cowl.

"He's in the command center." James said.

"Thank you. Oh and James, here," Cowl says, tossing him her belt. "Do me a favor and torch that thing, would you? Wouldn't want anyone else being subject to...THIS," she says, looking over her arm before running off to the command center.
