Finding Ida's sister

Oh... because with all the pages, I'd thought a lot had happened. On that note, here. (my writing may not be great, I haven't RPed in a while).


The sound of her heart beating muted her surroundings. A little girl was going to dig into her brain for memories. It was nonsense. Unheard of. As she paced back and forth, staring back out at the Cord's residence, she argued with herself. What if it didn't work? What if it did work? What if it works, but it's not enough to find my sister? What if I do find my sister? Does she even want to be found? Thousands of questions swarmed through her head like bees. It was just to much, and no answers. And there was only one possible solution... she just had to trust this people. With a soft sigh, she walked up to the door, and went inside. "If Liza is ready... I-I think I can do this." She said, with a crack in her voice.


 
The only people still in the living room are Faith, Macal, and Grin, as Alex has lead Sheena and Jason back towards the room where Jason will be staying, and Liza is arranging her stuffed animals for Grin to see in her room. Faith looks over, startled at her reappearance, and assesses her with a frown, then nods slowly.


"Okay...if you're sure. I know it's a lot to get used to...but we'll take all the precautions we can, Ida. Like we said before, you can stay with Sheena tonight, and if you want to do this now, before you lose your nerve, I'll go get Liza."
 
She nods, putting her hands into her pockets awkwardly. Now that she knew it was just gonna happen already, she wasn't as nervous. It was a good relief.
 
Faith heads down the hallway, calling for Liza; when Liza comes back into the room, her arms loaded with six or seven stuffed animals, and sees Ida, her eyes get big and she drops them all on the floor unceremoniously, running up and hugging her. "I thought you were scared!"
 
Ida chuckled a bit at the whole situation. "Yeah, I was pretty scared before. But the only way to stop a fear is to face it!" She glanced over at the pile of colorful stuffed animals, then back and the family.
 
"I won't even hurt you. Really. I'll just make you go back and that's all. Plus also you can hold one of my friends and I'll even let you pick which one," Liza assured her, gesturing towards the pile scattered on the floor. "They'll make you not scared. They're good at that."
 
Ida smirked. "I see." She looked over at the pile, randomly picking one out, without hesitation considering she was "adult". Everyone has a bit of child in them. She got a purple stuffed dog, much like those you get from carnivals. "Well, thank you Liza. Are we ready to begin?" She asked, not really sure what to do.
 
"Uh huh!" Liza nods, then looks up at her parents. "Um...what do I do?"


Hardly confidence building....Faith, trying to keep Ida here, looks at Macal for affirmation as she replies.


"Liza, I think you'll go with Ida and have her lay down, and you do what you can to get her to sleep, or in a state like sleep. Then you just edge open the barriers of her mind and meet her inner self- like Fay in my head, remember, Pip? You talk to whoever you find inside Ida's head- whatever representation she has of her thoughts. Then you grab on and take her- the thought Ida, not the Ida in bed- back in time with you. You know how to travel between dimensions. DO you think you can do that?"


Liza frowns, then nods solemnly. "Okay." She looks at Ida and takes her hand. "You can bring Pinkie May with you." Looking over at Grin, she adds, "Want to see my friends first?"
 
Ida kept her cool best as she could hearing the strange things that would happen. Well, she didn't really know what she was expecting. Not forgetting Pinkie May, the limp stuffed dog, she followed Liza down the narrow hallway, hearing the words 'Grin' along the way. She glanced back, waiting for a moment.
 
Not waiting for either, Liza bounds ahead, showing her to her room, with Faith standing as well; she's not sure if she should be there when Liza does this or not, but for the moment she'll follow. Liza opens her bedroom door, revealing a rather messy room with a pink canopy bed, stuffed animals littered everywhere, and both weapons and toys like Legos and games scattered against one wall. She gestures proudly. "You can sleep on my bed." It's a twin bed meant for a child. "Your legs might be too big though."


(gotta go, ttyl)
 
"Well, I don't know," said Jason, glancing down at what he was holding. He realized he still had the sandwich, and grinned. "I just write down what I'm thinking, I guess. If I want to say something, but don't have anyone to say it to, I just write it." He reached up to scratch his head- "Alley cats aren't the best conversation."


He bounced slightly on the bed, marvelling at its softness. He couldn't remember the last time he had slept in a bed... unless you counted that mangy mattress he had found in an abandoned storehouse, once. It was heaven after so many stone floors, and pavements, and tiles, with only a jacket for a pillow. Jason decided it was a good idea he had decided to stay.
 
Grin began to respond to Faith's words, then stopped as Ida stepped back into the room. He blinked, a bit shocked to say the least after her earlier exit. Giving a wave and a small smile, he hoped she still wished for any assistance he could give in finding her sister. After all, she had seen what he was.


As Faith went to go get Liza, the bearded man watched on in silence, not sure exactly what to say, if anything. As Liza enters the room and addresses him about the stuffed animals, he chuckles and gives a shake of his head. "As much as I would like to, this situation with Ida is more important. I promise to meet all of them afterwards, though," he stated truthfully, following the others to the doorway of the room at least. He stopped, a sudden fear holding him in place. "If Liza's healing had an effect on me, I can only hope this ability will not. I may not be the target, but everything seems to leave residual energies." He thought on this for a moment. "Perhaps I should wait outside. I would not want a clashing of abilities to cause any sort of issue in this whole process, little as I know about it."
 
She smiled back, then closely listening on what he had to say. She wasn't there to witness on what happened with Liza's healing, but the effects didn't seem to great by Grin's words. She simply gave a nod, and looked back and at Liza's bed. "I do believe this will be to small. I think the guest room would be better."
 
Alex: *Quickly jumped up* Damn I almost forgot, we have our own bathroom so you can take a shower if you want and I'm a little bigger than you but help yourself to any of my clothes, just don't take my last clean uniform. *Grins at him* Hey maybe you could join S.H.I.E.L.D.


Macal: Liza remember take this very slow this is a very delicate task you're going to attempt but I have full confidence in you Princess and I'll be close so don't worry.
 
Ida wondered what it must if felt like to be a parent with a child like Liza. One with her... power. It quickly shook her mind, as it went back to the procedure ahead of her. It was more of excitement she felt now. She had confidence herself in Liza. Even though she was just a small kid, she was much more on the inside. She was looking forward to the information they would hopefully get.
 
Uniform? "What's Shield?" asked Jason, unaware that it was an acronym. He was a bit distracted, as he looked over his shoulder at the bathroom, with something close to awe.


A shower.... he thought. My God. A shower. It was like a miracle. He could take a shower.


Then he grinned. Exaggeration it was, but still- a shower! He felt like a pauper invited into the king's castle to take part in a feast, only more private and less tasty. He had tried to keep himself presentable, but the last good cleaning he had had had been a dip in a small pond. His fingernails had dirt under them, his skin was slightly mottled with marks and he probably stank to high heaven. He had also stolen new clothes every now and then, but he had had this white shirt and jeans on for at least a month.


He got up and wandered into the bathroom. For the first time in what seemed like a decade, he saw a clean toilet.


He paused in front of the sinks. My God, he thought again, smiling widely. Toothpaste.
 
*Leaning against the wall outside the bathroom* Well we work for S.H.I.E.L.D..well we do Macal actually runs the place since Fury is off planet or right S.H.I.E.L.D is Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. Sort of a secret military law-enforcement agency. By the way if you accidentally hit a wall panel and a gun rack pops outs don't panic that's kind of a normal thing here.


Anyway if there is time I'll give you a tour of my base someday. So I'm gonna leave you some clean clothes on your bed, while I go get a DNA sample from Grin so I can try to help him out. If you want to sleep just go ahead and settle in, just don't be surprise if you wake up surrounded by Liza's stuffed animals.
 
"Oh... Uh, right," said Jason. Secret military agency? What were teenagers doing in a secret military agency? He had the feeling Alex was pulling on his leg; but then again, this wasn't exactly the most normal family ever.


Secret agency.... Why would a secret agent tell him about that? For the matter, why would he think he'd be a good recruit?


He looked down at himself. Skinny, undernourished, weak, dirty. Not really agent stuff. Remembering Alex's thin frame, he decided that the boy must be one of the brains. Well, if he was telling the truth. Which he wasn't. Of course.


Jason looked around the shower. There was one thing about him. He had no ties. Perhaps, that was the sort of thing that got you recruited into a secret military agency? He was no genius, though. Like Alex seemed to be.


Curious, he poked some of the wall tiles. One behind a mirror looked suspicious- when he touched it, the tile was flung open, and a metal, framework contraption sprang out. Jason leapt back, then quickly pushed the thing back in and slammed the tile shut.


Blinking, nonplussed, he went back into the bedroom. Sheena seemed to have followed her boyfriend out, and a set of immaculate clothes were folded on top of the bed. He picked them up and examined them; they looked brand new.


Jason looked around at the alien surroundings. He didn't know what to think.
 
(Alex was a bit of a trouble maker when he was younger, he hacked a predator drone and had it buzzed one of his professors house, he didn't know it was armed and accidentally fired a missile blowing up his tool shed, sadly his wife got hit by the shock wave and is now in a wheelchair. Well instead of going to prison S.H.I.E.L.D force recruited him, he had to stay with them until he turned 20 or go to prison, they wanted him for his mind which was on par with Tony Stark and Reed Richards combine. Anyway After Alex turned 20 he decided to stay with the group, after Macal took him under his wing.)
 
As Liza and Faith both follow Ida into the guest room, Faith glances back at Macal, saying under her breath, "Does she seriously know how to do this?"


Sheena glances over at Alex, saying under her breath too, "Don't you have to have powers to get into SHIELD?"
 
Macal: I think she'll do fine as long as she stays calm and focus, this is basically a vision quest there is no serious danger to either of them.


Alex:*shaking my head* No you just have to be..useful, there are plenty of people in S.H.I.E.L.D that don't have powers, or military backgrounds, not saying it will be easy for him to get in but I'll give him a shot if he wants it..And to be honest he's a good canidate, he has no ties, no one to be exploited to compromise him. Sort of like I was minus the criminal record. (Sorry have to get back to work, I'll check in later)
 
With a deep breath, she lay on the guest bed. She looked up at Faith, then at Liza. "Well... this is it. I'll just try and sleep, yes?" She spoke, gulping.
 
"Yeah, don't mind us staring at you or Liza about to sucker punch you in the brain," Faith smirked, then shook her head, giving her a reassuring smile. "Look, I'm just kidding, Ida. It will be fine. Liza used to live inside my head, did she tell you that? Macal, my sister Kate, seems like everyone's been rooting around in the dark corners of my twisted skull. Surely yours won't be as bad."
 
She laughed at her joke, but it faded at the fact the Liza used to live in Faith's head. Just learning one unbelievable thing after another. "Sure thing." Ida said, closing her eyes... thinking good thoughts. So distracted in her own mind. that after just a few minutes, she fell asleep. Which was very strange, Ida was not an easy sleeper.
