Not the week she asked for.

[poorgirlsarcee]

She had managed to survive the questioning from S.H.I.E.L.D. though she had a feeling that they weren't really done when she and the others were released, but not like they knew anything else. 

She was still trying to figure out how she had been grabbed from the mansion, though that wasn't where she had been asked to be dropped off in the early morning.  At this point she didn't care.  The agent that had driven her was still waiting, despite her telling him it would be fine.  Ringing for Vincent's place she waited for him to answer hoping he was still up.  

That was when her bike decided to try to reconnect with her.  It started as a light tingling in the arm with the band, which she shook, hoping it was just nerves.  Few seconds later it was burning, actually bringing her to her knees, biting down on her lip she leaned against the doorjamb cradling the arm with her other.  By then the Agent had left her, at least she wouldn't be poked and prodded by their medics.  She closed her eyes a moment reaching for her cell to try to call home, if Vincent didn't get there soon she was going to get them to pick her up.

"Please... cool it, I know you're angry so am I.  Just ease up the link."  The words were barely mumbled as her hand fumbled and she dropped her cell, the number for the mansion dialing.

"Arcade? Just really freaked me out. SHIELD? Just questioned me." She gave a slight nod. I'll still have to get my bike. Though should be at the mansion. I remember being there then waking up where ever I was taken."

"How complex are the systems? Are they tolerant of modification, or does it seem like it's all set just so? I might be able to help you with a remote retrieval system. Close enough to what I'm already working on."

[poorgirlsarcee]

"They're a bit more complex than most tech on Earth now. Though I'd be dead if it didn't allow modifications. I removed most of the heavy guns, stashed them in various parts of the country in their most basic components." She twitched her fingers slightly frowning a little at the pain. "I think we'd have to talk it over with him when he's not temperamental though. I'll just grab a cab when I'm about to head home."

[vincent_amora]

"It's a 'him'?" He blinks, stroking his fingers against the edge of her hairline.

"I never really thought of it being assigned a gender."

[poorgirlsarcee]

"It's a little needy war machine so I like to think of it as a guy. Not that all guys are it's just war machines tend to be more of a boys and their toys kind of thing." She grinned at him.

[vincent_amora]

"I think you need to broaden the scope a bit. War is hell; hell is other people." He smirks back at her, adjusting the pillow under her head. "Are you feeling any better yet?"

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Oh hush, I'm not feeling well." She stuck her tongue out at him. Though now that he asked, other than her arm throbbing a little she was feeling better. "Yeah, let me guess just gave me the medical equvilant to morphine? Not complaining."

[vincent_amora]

"Just herbal supplements. Kristoff told me about them, so I started keeping them on hand." He strokes her hair. "Do you think SHIELD told the Avengers you went missing? How often do you check in with them anyway?"

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Okay not as bad. Still drugging your girlfriend though." She giggled slightly at that. "They would have told them that they found me. I live in the building so most of them see me at some point durring the day. I was actually... on the way into the labs for something that morning. Woke up on a stage. So pretty sure the Avengers know I went missing.:

[vincent_amora]

"They already kicked me off the team once. I don't need them hearing that sort of thing." Vincent gives her an exaggerated scowl and rumples her hair. He furrows his brow, feeling a little twinge of judgmental disapproval over them not having found her already. Surely they'd been looking, right?

Damn it Skuld you're not Mira. *Throws muse in her box*

[poorgirlsarcee]

"So when they ask I'll remind them it was only medical." She mumbled. "And considering everything going on, I mean really I'm not even a field member officially so they probably think I fell asleep working on some engine." She had caught the look and figured that would have to be what he was thinking about. "If they're really worried I'm sure we'll see them here soon enough."

[vincent_amora]

"Wonderful." He says, somewhat dryly, stroking her hair again. "I think we're going to need to tell them we're involved with one another sooner than we originally planned. I don't want us to have to skulk around, or worry about them finding us together."

[poorgirlsarcee]

"I think they already know. They just haven't said anything about it." She did give him a small grin. We'll have to tell them anyway right?" At that she pouted a little, but knew that it was one of those things they had to deal with, after all he had been removed from the team.
