Junior Agents of SHIELD (DemonicOne & Dbspock)

While Courtney didnt want to ignore the problem, dealing with it right now with her head throbbing was not likely going to result in solving it either. She walked away towards the bathroom where she quickly grabbed a couple of aspirin and popped them into her mouth before washing them down with a drink of water before going into her bedroom and closing the door to change out of her robe into her pajamas.

Once she was changed she lay in bed for a moment before picking up her phone since she was unable to sleep and she started to look into the Injustice League and the staff that had come after her earlier that evening.

*****************************************

Skye shrugged "Maybe, who knows. Its what I was taught and Ive never had anyone really correct me. Even though I thought it was a bit odd especially given that my foster brother was a bit of a pervert but I digress." She walked to the door of Barrys room and was about to go in and find what character he wanted but she realized he still hadnt told her how he wanted her drawn.

"I know I dont have to draw it but I mean you asked me if I would and you said you would pay me for it right? So why wouldnt I do it? Its not like youre asking me for anything absurd. Its just a drawing of a female comic book character that may or may not have clothes on."
 
All the internet had to show about the staff was an artist rendering from the 1950's in a scientific magazine. At least until the 1980's when a comics character called the All-Star Kid started using one in the comics.

Courtney's research into the Injustice Society was a bit more promising. There were several links pointing her to newspaper articles from the fifties and sixties, but every link she clicked on said either 'file not found' or an apology that the newspaper had no been digitally scanned before it was destroyed in a fire. At least until Courtney clicked on the site that brought her to a conspiracy board. There, among the claims that the President was an alien and your neighbor was a werewolf were a couple threads that postulated Hitler had teamed up with the Injustice League and had almost found the Spear of Destiny, which would have changed the course of the war if they hadn't been stopped by either a secret government program or aliens.

*****************************************************

"Your foster brother was very much a pervert and that's not at all normal." Barry couldn't help but feel he was losing out on a big chance here, but he knew it was wrong. This wasn't some little white lie with no real consequences...accepting any form of sex from Skye under these circumstances would have been the wrongest thing he could think of. he knew that better than he knew anything.

"Right." Barry agreed. He'd be happy to pay Skye for a drawing, but..."Only if you want to." He reiterated, then blushed as she mentioned the clothing thing again. "Uh...maybe in a bikini?" Barry suggested with a blush.
 
The more she looked at this the more she couldnt take her eyes off it. It was like a bad train wreck. You want to look away but its just so enticing that you cant. She wanted to learn more about this 'spear of destiny' so she posted a message on the forum under a fake name with a dummy email she had just created under yet another fake name. She decided to post and see if anyone knew anything more about the spear. What it did? Where it came from? And more importantly why would it be attracted to her and not anyone else in her family?


************************************

Skye shrugged "Yeah y'know I kind of figured that. Especially with what he did to me on my last birthday. But its whatever. So long as I cooperate and do what Im told I wont get in trouble and I wont have to go back so..." She shrugged. At this point she was still very much a broken young woman mentally. She had been indoctrinated by Lonnie into thinking that so long as she offered herself up for sex when it was asked she would be fine and never have to move away again.

"You keep saying that 'only if you want to' but I keep telling you I dont mind! Drawing is a passion of mine and its the one thing in my life I havent been absolute shit at." She said and picked up her paper and pencil. "Ill get to work on it and have you a rough draft by dinnertime."
 
The minute Courtney posted her message, she got a half dozen responses. Two just wanted to know if she was busy later, one promised her to tell her everything she might want to know about the spear if she sent them a nude photo, but one stood out from the rest. It used the handle 'Microchip' and told her the spear of Destiny was the spear the Romans used on Jesus Christ when he was on the cross, and it was supposed to have mystical powers. It was also supposed to be in either the Pentagon, Ethiopia, or Area 51, he wasn't sure which.

**************************************

It certainly didn't sound like whatever to Barry, but he didn't want to push her. It sounded like she had too much of that already in her life. "You won't get sent back." Barry rushed to assure her. "As for cooperating...well, yeah. Mom and Dad have rules you are supposed to follow, but its stuff like going to bed on time and doing your homework. They'll probably assign you chores, too, but it'll be stuff like doing the dishes or taking the trash out. Nothing...like what you were thinking earlier." He nodded when she assured him she didn't mind making a drawing for him. "All right that's cool, but...could you make it a picture of us? Maybe as superheroes or something?" Barry grinned at her, quite enjoying the thought of having a drawing of the two of them on his wall.
 
Courtney was smart enough to weed out the creeps who only wanted to get into her pants and didnt have any real information. It didnt take long to do a mass block on all of them either. Eventually she got a message from a user names 'Microchip' who mentioned that the spear was what the Romans used to kill Jesus and something about mystical powers? {Something to look into later. If this thing has mystical powers then why is it in my house and not locked up somewhere?} She put her phone down, pulled on her sleep mask and proceeded to go to sleep. Whether she slept soundly or not though was an entirely different story.


*****************************************************

"Well," Skye started off "Ill do whatever it takes to avoid going back to that place. Theres so many kids there and not enough beds or food to go around. the only reason I didnt run away was I dont have anywhere to run. I was constantly moved from town to town so I never got to make too many friends because the moment i did it seemed like that was the end of that home for me and I was going back the next day." She shrugged it off not wanting to think about how many friends she left behind in other cities.

"Hm? Us as...superheroes? I thought you wanted that one lady? The one from your comic? I mean if you want me to draw us then sure I can do that too I suppose." She shrugged as she was just confused why the major pivot from wanting her to draw a comic book character to wanting to make them into comic book characters.
 
The next morning, when Courtney woke up, the small of pancakes and sausage was in the basement. If Courtney checked, she would discover Pat, Barbara, and Mike in the kitchen eating said pancakes and sausage. But the first thing she would likely notice is that the staff was laying in bed next to her.

*********************************************

Barry nodded when she talked about the problems with her foster home. He'd heard about such issues, but never from someone who had lived it. "No matter what you do, you won't be sent back there." Barry told her firmly. Sure, he'd told her that before, but it seemed she needed all the reassurance he could offer. He shrugged and smiled sheepishly when she questioned his new choice of a drawing. "I already have comics full of Scarlet." He pointed out. "All I have of you is a picture I haven't even printed out yet."
 
Courtney woke to the smell of food coming from upstairs as she yawned and removed her sleep mask before looking next to her as she felt something else in her bed though she wasnt sure what. She looked and saw the staff in her bed. "What the hell?" She said to herself as she shifted up in her bed. She looked at the staff and decided to pick it up this time and see what happened.

**********************************

Skye smiled softly when Barry reassured her she wouldnt be sent back and before she could get any more words out her stomach audibly grumbled. "Sorry about that." She laughed awkwardly. "Guess Im getting hungry. Ill get started on your drawing after food yeah?" She said as she looked at Barry "And thanks by the way. For making me feel so welcome. Its the most like home any place has ever felt like to me."
 
The staff lay there totally inert until Courtney picked it up, at which point it began to glow, not brightly, but if the room was dark it would have served as a night light. It also began to, not hum exactly, but vibrate at a frequency Courtney could feel more than hear. It also began to gently tug her in the direction of the door of her bedroom.

******************************************

Barry actually giggled a bit as he heard Skye's stomach growl. "Yeah, I guess so." He reached out to take her hand, then quickly thought better of it in light of their previous conversation. He didn't want to push her boundaries. "Well, you should feel welcome because you are." He assured her, then turned and headed for the stairs. "Come on...it's my turn to cook dinner, so we're having spaghetti, and you're going to help." He teased her, then turned red as he once again thought better of it. "I mean, if you want to." He hastened to add.

(Sorry about that...I thought I posted this)
 
Even though Courtney was practically starving, she was more intrigued by the staff and what it was trying to show her. For once her curiosity got the best of her as she felt it tug her in the direction of her bedroom door. She walked over and opened the door with the hand that wasnt holding the staff. "Okay you, lets see what you're trying to show me..." She said and followed the tug and the vibration of the staff.


***********************************

Skye laughed a bit when she was told Barry wanted her to help make dinner. She put down her pad and pencil and got up grabbing Barry's hand. "Lets go then. Ive never been asked to help make dinner before so sorry if Im not very good and end up getting in the way a bit too much." She laughed softly as the duo headed tot the kitchen to start making spaghetti
 
The staff actually seemed to wait patiently as Courtney opened the door of the bedroom, then if she kept following it it would lead her through the basement, up the stairs and pass through the kitchen.

"Courtney?" Pat called out as he saw her enter the kitchen, and his eyes widened when he spotted the staff. "What's going on?" He asked her, but the staff didn't pause as it tried to lead her outside.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barry's eyes widened in surprise when she grabbed it. He hadn't expected that. But he soon smiled and squeezed her hand. "You won't get on the way." He promised her as he walked with her up to the kitchen. Once there, he released her hand and pointed at a cabinet. "Would you mind getting the big pot out of there and filling it with water, then put it on the stove? I'll get started on the sauce."
 
Courtney heard her new stepdad calling out to her but she was much more transfixed on following what the staff wanted her to see. After all it seemed to have its own agenda and it involved her and it wasnt going to take 'no' for an answer for much longer. She continued to follow it outside to see where it would lead her even though she was hardly dressed to be out in public.

*****************************************

Skye nodded and pulled out the pot he had asked for and began filling it with water. "You seem really excited that I was willing to help." She laughed "I figure the least I can do is help out since you guys were kind enough to take me in and you seem to be eager enough to keep me here and not just send me back at the first sign of trouble." She finished filling the pot partway with water and then put it on the stove and turned it on so it could eventually start boiling. "Anything else I can do?"
 
If the staff even knew what she was wearing, it gave no sign of it. The staff kept guiding her outside, down the stairs to the backyard, and once it was clear of the building and trees, it stopped tugging at her. Instead, it darted back towards her and tried to get between her legs so it could lift her up off the ground.

*************************************

"Hey, its more fun to do it with you than by myself." Barry claimed as he watched with approval as she put the water on to boil. For his part, he took some meat out of the refridgerator and placed it in a pan next to the water where he began cooking it. "And no ones is sending my siuster back, got it?" He told her firmly, then gestured at a cabinet in response to her question. "Well, you could start settign the table while I cook up the sauce." He suggested.
 
As she followed the staff's pull outside she suddenly felt it stop and then dart back ending up between her legs. "What the.....OH!" Her eyes went wide as it started to lift her off the ground from between her legs like a witch's broom in the movies. "Where are you leading me you stupid thing?"

*********************************

'No one is sending my sister back' hearing those words made Skye feel more welcomed as part of the family than any amount of reassurance or anything else ever could. "Yeah I get that. Having help and having company makes things go so much easier." She said nodding as she grabbed the bowls and silverware from the cupboards and began to set the table as she felt her stomach grumble.
 
The staff gave no answer, if it even understood her question, but it simply carried her higher into the sky until she was over the top of the house. She could see over the fence into the backyard of the house next door, where she saw a boy about her age stare at the strange sight before the staff flew over hsi head, picking up speed as it carried her out of town.

********************************************************

"Well, usually. I'm sure we'll fight over the TV or something at some point." Barry teased her. He had no idea what his words had meant to her, they just came naturally, but he shot a look at her when he heard her stomach rumble and he realized he had no idea when the last time she might have eaten was. "Dinner will take about half an hour." he warned her. "Want an apple or something in the meantime?" he offered. He figured it was a healthy enough option Mom wouldn't complain he was trying to ruin her dinner.
 
"Ugh. I should have at least out some real clothes on!" She said as she was flown out of town to God only knows where while wearing just her pajamas. No bra, no socks, no shoes, just her pajamas. She fortunately had a hair tie on her wrist so she was able to at least tie back her hair and keep it out of her face. "I guess this is one way to travel out of town...Mom and Pat are going to have a freak out when I get home though..."

***************************************

"I mean maybe eventually?" Skye shrugged "I usually tend to keep to myself and let others do what they want. Growing up I didnt have much say in what happened so I didnt bother objecting." She said once again having flashbacks to her last 'birthday' where she was spanked and raped by her foster brother. "Oh no, Ill be fine. Just a bit hungry. Nothing new." She laughed with a smile grabbing a glass for some water
 
The staff picked up speed as it traveled out of town and over the woods. Courtney was getting a nice tour of the countryside, and it was just as well no one was around as they also might have gotten a nice view of her as her top, clearly not designed for travel, caught the air and the strain began to tug at the buttons, beginning to undo them before the staff came to an abrupt stop in the middle of a field and began to descend.

**************************************************

Well, that certainly sounded like a good deal to Barry, gettign to do whatever he wanted even with a sister in the house, but it didn't sit right with him. "Well, you have a say now." Barry told her firmly, then shrugged. "Maybe we can come up with a schedule or something." He frowned when she mentioned being hungry was nothign new. "You don't have to ask for permission for a snack. Not in this house." Barry informed her.
 
"Oh fuck!" Courtney swore as her top lost a couple of the already very few buttons it had and would have given anyone nearby a very clear view of her breasts as she had to use her hand to hold it together as the staff lowered her down into the middle of an empty field as she began to look around. "Where the heck am I?" She said as she couldnt see anything for quite some distance.

***********************************************

Skye nodded "Yeah, once I get used to things a bit more maybe we can come up with a schedule. But Im really just as happy to sit in my corner and draw on my sketch pad and soak up the sun." She said as she sipped on her water. "Its not that I want a snack, its that Im used to being hungry. Not getting enough to eat when I do eat. Kind of happens when you grow up in foster homes that are clearly beyond their means and just using you for a paycheck from the government. Ive learned that water helps quiet my stomach until I can get some food so dont worry about me." She said with a soft smile
 
There was no response as the staff simply settled down to the ground and lost its glow, becoming a simple inanimate object again. The silence didn't last long, though, as armed gunmen dressed in body armor and with a symbol of what looked like an octupus on their shoulders suddenly burst into the clearing. "Hands up!" The man at the front demanded as he aimed hsi weapon at Courtney, clearly not caring she was holding her top together. Or perhaps he did, and that's why he gave the order in the first place.

***************************************

Barry could only nod at her statement. It didn't sound liek fun to him, but he didn't want to push her. It seemed that had happened quite enough in her life. "Well, if you ever want to play a video game or something on my computer, just let me know." He offered, then shook his head. "Mom and Dad aren't using you for a paycheck." He promised her. He wasn't sure exactly why his parents had picked Skye to adopt, but he was sure a paycheck wasn't the reason. "You don't have to be hungry here." Barry went to the fridge and removed an apple. He wasn't sure what she liked, but apples were his preferred snack so he figured it was a good place to start. "Here...try it." He offered as he held the fruit out to her.
 
Courtney raised the one hand she was not using to hold her top together as she looked at the armed men. "Look, I dont even know where Im at. This stupid thing...." She looked down and kicked the staff lightly. "Drug me all the way out here as soon as I got out of bed. Didnt even let me put on real clothes or even a damned bra!" She shouted. She had no idea who these guys were or why they were pointing their guns at her.

*********************************

She nodded when he mentioned playing a game on his computer or something. "Ill let you know but Ive never really played video games before so eh?" She said a bit unsure. She appreciated his efforts to try and make her felt more at home but she was still not used to the idea of having this much freedom. When he offered her an apple she hesitated but then took it from him. "If youre sure. I dont want to cause any trouble for anyone." She took a small bite of the apple
 
Clearly the men were not impressed with her lack of compliance or her explanation as one of the men behind her hit her in the shoulder blade with the butt of his rifle. "He said put your hands up!" he snarled at her as he snapped a cuff around the one hand she had raised and tried to grab the other one.

The man in front, apparently the leader, slung his rifle as the other man tried to cuff Courtney. He looked at her outfit with interest...and maybe something else...and gave a slow nod. She cetainly looked like she'd just gotten out of bed, so her story seemed at least plausible. "And where did you find...this stupid thing?" He asked as he picked up the staff and looked at it with curiosity.

***************************************************************

"Well, I can teach you." Barry offered. he had the feelign there was a lot Skye hadn't done. Hopefully he could remedy that. He shook hsi head at her worry about the apple. "The only way you will get in trouble for eating a healthy snack aroudn here is if you eat too much and make yourself sick." He promised her, then winced as the smoke alarm went off. "Damn." He muttered as he turned around and quickly stirred the meat. Thankfully it hadn't burned...just let off a lot of smoke. "Mind waving a pillow or soemthing in front of the smoke alarm?" Barry asked as he punched in the code in the alarm panel to silence the alarm.
 
"Thats none of your business!" She said refusing to tell them where she found it lest they try and go after her family for having it. "Lets just say I came into possession of it recently when I moved into town from the city." She said wincing as the man hit her in the shoulder with the butt of his rifle. "Ow! Ive got my hands up. Im not just going to let go of my top. It got damaged so if I let go of it something will be showing that I dont feel comfortable showing you." She said as she tried to fight back against the man trying to handcuff her. "Look Ill play whatever game it is you're playing but Im not letting go of my top. Thats final!"

***********************

She laughed when he talked about eating too much and making herself sick. "I dont think I could ever do that." She said quickly covering her ears as the smoke alarm blared. Fortunately she was able to read Barrys lips and went to grab a blanket to try and wave off some of the smoke that had been created from the food.

Once he got the alarm turned off she let out a sigh of relief. "That thing is really loud when you're standing right underneath it." She laughed some more as she had been directly under the alarm when it started to go off.
 
The man frowned at her response, then handed the staff to another of his men and approached Courtney. "Young lady...I don't think you realize just how much trouble you are in. not answering our questions is not an option. The response 'none of your business' is not an option. Refusing our orders is not an option. Your comfort is not relevant to us. THAT is final. You can either let go of your top, or my men will MAKE you let go of your top. The choice is yours." Two men also slung their rifles, clearly judging her not a threat they needed rifles to deal with, and approached Courtney on each side. If she didn't comply, they were clearly quite willing to grab her arms and force them behind her, not caring if that would expose her breasts to their view.

****************************************************************

Barry grinned when he heard her laugh, quite pleased she could still do so and that he could get her to do it. But before he could respond to that, the smoek alarm distracted both of them. "Yeah, well, when Dad installed it he didn't plan on people standing right under it. He wanted to make sure it got peopel out of bed, just in case." he told her, then gestuered at a cabinet while he started adding tomato sauce to the meat. "I think the water is ready. Go ahead and add some noodles." he suggested.
 
"If youre going to make me do it then you may as well make me do it because Im not going to just willingly comply with you. I dont even know who you are. All I know is you showed up here, wherever 'here' is and started pointing your guns at me asking me questions. Now if its all the same to you I would rather just take my property and leave." She said motioning toward the staff that lay motionless on the ground {Stupid piece of junk. You got me into this mess and now youre just going to lay there like any old stick.}

********************************************

"Well it certainly would have done that if anyone was in bed. I just hope we didnt disturb them from doing whatever it is theyre doing just because we stopped paying attention for a minute." She said before adding the noodles to the pot and taking another small bite of the apple. At the rate she was eating it she would be snacking on that one apple for the rest of the night.
 
The men didn't respond to her demand. Not verbally at least. But as soon as she dared them to make her comply, they took her up on it. One man already had control of one of her arms, complete with a cuff on the wrist. The other man reached out to grab hold of her arm, pullign it away from her body, and while there was really no reason to, the third man reached out and grabbed a hold of the neck of her flimsy top and yanked, trying to tear it off her shoulder. The leader simply watched as his men attempted to subdue the teenage girl.

************************************

"Mom and Dad aren't home right now, so no worries abotu that. And I canceled the alarm so the fire department won't show up, so no worries on that score." Barry promised her. He wasn't going to make the same mistake again though so he focused on making the sauce, not noticing how slowly Skye was eating her apple.
