Chapitre 15: Dazed
Michael got outside and saw a person standing at the gate.
He went near her and said with amusement, "Didn't know you had it in you Miss Daisy."
She chuckled, "It seems you do remember me."
Daisy was dressed in a red dress revealing her left shoulder and wore red lipstick on her plump lips.
Vroom!
A black car made its way to the gate.
The valet left the car and spoke, "the car's ready sir."
Michael nodded and then opened the door for Daisy.
"A new Ferrari F8 Spider. You've got taste." Daisy said and made her way to the passenger's seat.
Michael also got inside the car, "I just chose the best looking car."
Daisy looked at Michael, "You're real age is indeed a lot, but you forget you still look like a teenager, aren't the police going to stop you?"
Michael smirked, "Not if they don't want to suffer."
Daisy smiled.
Vroom! VrooooM!
A few minutes later as they were on the road,
"So what is this mission's detail?" Asked Michael.
"Rob Jackson, a corrupt state official. Recently Shield made a move on him and.. Threatened him to be a double agent. The one who bribe him are an organization that experiments on mutants and inhumans, and most of them are teenagers. But even with Rob's acting skill, the organization managed to find out. Our sources say that he'll be attacked today by members of this organization. It's our job to protect him and catch the enemy for further interrogation about their base, numbers and intension."
She proceeded to hand Michael a file with Shield's logo.
"Reformers? That's a petty name. But why am I exactly needed for this, I'm pretty sure you could have found a way to enter in even without my help" Michael asked, with his eyes on the road.
"True, but they have advanced guns that can cause destruction. With your help and my quake powers, It'll be easier to take down." She smiled.
Michael looked at her and tilted his head, "How old are you? If you don't mind asking."
"I just turned 21 last week, why?" Daisy didn't give Michael the 'you shouldn't ask a woman her age'.
Michael was curious because of the changes in the people and the timeline.
In the Agent's of Shield series. In 2013, Daisy is 28 years old. But here he she's only twenty in 2012. Meaning that she was born much later and entered the strangeness of the world much quicker.
"When did you join shield?" Michael asked.
"About six months ago."
"Good for you."
"Why is it good for me?" She asked.
Michael tapped the wheel with his finger and answered, "Would you rather stay ignorant of the world, or see it with your own eyes."
"I guess it is good for me." She laughed and then looked at Michael for a second.
Five minutes later, Michael and Daisy arrived at the location.
The location is a very cool club with the name 'Starshine' with neon lights.
Because Michael was written as an invited guest, he and Daisy had an easy time in.
As soon ad they entered inside, they were welcomed by disco lights.
People were dancing, following the rhythm of the music. Some had company on their dance, some enjoyed it lonesomely.
Someone comes close to them and ask, "Are you by any chance Mr. Michael?"
"Yes."
"Good, follow me. Mr. Dixon has reserved a VIP Room inside. He told me to bring you there as soon as you arrive."
"Lead the way." Michael said and looked at Daisy.
"Shall we?" He offered his arm, which Daisy took without a second thought.
They were led to a separate room of the building and entered inside.
As soon as they entered in, they saw a huge table, sitting around it was Chuck, Frank, Nora, some other people Michael didn't know and Rob Jackson.
"You're late Michael." Frank said.
"Shut it Frank. It seems he's probably late because of the beauty. Hahaha, my godson has grown." Chuck tapped Frank's shoulder as he amused himself.
Michael looked at Nora and congratulated her, "Happy birthday Nora, I brought a gift." Michael put his hand on his breast pocket.
Some of the other people on the room flinched. Making Michael to look at them amused.
He took out a dagger.
"Here, It's an ancient dagger. Chuck tells me you like to dig deep into history."
Nora is around 23 years old. She has fair skin with brown eyes, dark hair reaching down her neck. She looked at Michael and then stretched her hand to accept the dagger.
She studied the dagger in her hands and said, "Judging by how it's made, I'd say it's from the 15th century, probably made by greeks."
"Indeed." Michael nodded.
"Thank you. I'll be sure to add it to my collection." She thanked Michael.
"Oh, by the way, this is Daisy." Michael coughed and presented his plus one.
Rob on the other hand was feeling suffocated. He had already recognized Daisy.
Michael rolled his eyes at his blatant idiocy and thought, 'so much for acting skills..'
"Oh, since we're suddenly introducing new guests, this is Rob, one of my old pals." Chuck pointed at Rob sitting next to him.
Rob nodded and sat up, he stretched his hand at Michael and said, "I've heard great things about you."
'At least you have potential' thought Michael as he smiled and then looked at the other unknown guests.
"And who might you fellows be?"
Rob coughed and then said, "They are with me. They're old friends of mine."
Daisy looked at them suspiciously. She looked at Michael, who was also looking at her and they shared a knowing look.
They understood that these five people might be their targets, but the question on their mind was, 'Why did they come with Rob, if it's not an assassination?'
From this, Michael and Daisy concluded that it might be something else they were after.
Michael and Daisy sat in the seats near Nora.
"So this is why you said I shouldn't eat dinner?" Michael asked as he looked at the dishes in front of him.
"Yeah. This is one of the rarest steaks. So I wanted to make a surprise." Frank said.
Michael was deadpan, but didn't comment.
Michael and Daisy joined the others and started to fill their stomachs.
In case the food was poisonous, Michael could destroy it inside his body with dimensional energy or with his healing energy. And Quake also could use her vibration powers to dissolve the food.
As for Frank, Chuck and Nora, Michael hoped his healing energy could save them. But this was all speculation incase the food was indeed poisoned.
After another ten minutes, everyone finished their plates.
"I told you it's the best stake." Frank spoke when he heard Chuck's suppressed burp.
"I know. I'm the one who pays for it." Chuck drank some wine.
"Did you find anything weird on the food?" Michael whispered at Daisy as he leaned towards her.
"No. Nothing I know at least." She whispered back.
"So, Rob, what do you think of our robot in New York?" Frank asked Rob.
"Robot?" Rob was confused.
"Yeah Iron Man."
As if he was enlightened, Rob said, "I think he's a nice guy, even if he doesn't follow the law too much."
Frank and Chuck laughed, "Probably nobody here follows the so called law."
"I do." Michael raised his hand as he sipped soda, which he mixed with whiskey. However nobody was looking at what he was drinking, as they had their eyes rolling. Only Rob and Nora was exempt from this as they looked around, confused.
"Yeah. As if killing is legal." Chuck played with sarcasm.
"Doberman kills people, not me." Michael said.
"Who's the one who orders Doberman." Frank asked, slightly mad that Doberman had chosen Michael over him.
"How do I know? He has a mind of his own, he keeps whining on how he's being treated as an errand or something."
Crank!
"I believe that's enough." From one side of the table, an irritated voice came out.
Everyone looked at that direction and saw one of Rob's friends with a knife impacting the wooden table.
Daisy had her palms open, ready to blast him away, while Michael was looking at him silently.
"So you are from the Reformed Organization?"
"Yes, we are. And I'm afraid we'll have to end this birthday party early and take what belongs to us." The one speaking has black hair and blue eyes, while the others looked like they are latino.
"And what belongs to you?" Daisy asks.
"She." The black haired man pointed his finger at none other than Nora.
The moment he said that, green gas, started to pop from the corners of the room. With its speed, it was guaranteed it was going to fill the room in matter of minutes.
One of the men quickly grabbed Nora under the eyes of Michael.
"Not on under my protection!"
Paw!
Chuck shot the man, but the bullet didn't do anything.
The man had a bulletproof suit that glowed with electricity.
Michael arrived in front of the man and punched him right in the face.
"It seems your face isn't protected" Michael smirked.
