Chapter 92 - Come Here! (1/2)

(Outside Felicia's Apartment.)

”So this is the place?” Clint asked as he looked down the hall way. ”Yes that's what the doc.u.ments say.” Tony nodded as he rang the bell for the room. ”You didn't tell us she had such a nice pad.” Clint looked at the lavish hallway and couldn't help but comment.

Tony hadn't really check the details of her apartment when he was looking into the address. All he knew was that it was one of the best apartment blocks in the city, it made sense seeing as her parents were rich. Plus the security would be essential for a person living alone.

Having come down the fire escape the mismatched group of people would have been very eye catching if anyone had seen them, but they didn't run into anyone on the way down. ”Are you sure she's home?” Steve asked after the third time Tony rung the bell, it was around 1:12 so it was possible she was out.

Tony threw his hand up in the air. ”How am I supposed to know?” It was after another two rings before they all realized that she wasn't there. Tony looked at the rest, his back pack still slung over his shoulder. ”So what do we do now? I don't feel like waiting in the corridor for a teenage girl with a group of strangers. I have a rep to uphold.”

Clint snorted. ”What? Of the playboy billionaire that has slept with more women than Hugh Hefner himself? I don't think it will be impacted much.” Tony looked shocked at the words as he stared at Clint. ”There's a rumor like that? I'm flattered.” Natasha face palmed. ”Of course you are.”

Tony smirked in her direction. ”Why wouldn't I be? Do you know how much tail that old guy got in his time? That is most definitely a compliment.” Clint chimed in. ”He's got a point.” *Grr* Laura let out a small growl hearing all the useless chatter.

Walking up to the door, *Snikt*, one of her claws popped out and sliced the lock to the room, walking in as if nothing happened. The rest of the Avengers looked at the display in shock for a second. Steve frowned at the illegal act, while both spies just shrugged their shoulders and walked in. ”That solves that.”

”She does have claws.” Tony's eyes were still looking at the hand the claw came from, his scientific mind started to think over the application of how the claw worked, its benefits and disadvantages, seeing as it was made out of something as strong as Adamantium.

The rest crowded into the room, with Steve being the gentlemen and closing the door, even though it was busted. Turning back to look at Laura who was looking around the room, he walked up to her. ”You can't just break into other peoples apartments.”

His voice was stern and commanding. Laura looked up from what she was doing not really carrying about what was just said. Natasha noted the look of disregard on her face, so she also stepped forward. She knew that Laura had been through a lot, but they did want to get through to her.

Steve, Clint, her and maybe Tony all wanted her to open up a little for various different reasons. ”He's right; you can't just break into apartments. You promised to follow what I say while we look for Peter, don't go back on your word.”

Laura looked at Natasha for a few seconds before begrudgingly nodding her head. She didn't want to be on the bad side of the Avengers, not right now anyways. Being reprimanded twice she even started to feel a little guilty about just breaking into the place, just a little though.

The others didn't say anything else as Laura nodded her head, knowing she got the point. They started to look around the room for any clues, better than doing nothing while they waited. Laura looked around the room, with its 2 bedrooms, bathroom, lounge and TV. 'It looked like a nice place to live.'

In a small part of her mind, she couldn't help but compare this to the bench Peter used to live on, or the warehouse that she had been situated in. 'It really is an improvement.' Lost in her thoughts Laura walked over to the small entrance to the balcony and looked out at the city, it was just opposite the door.

She continued to stare out it as the rest came back to the main area. ”She's not home, but someone was living in the second bedroom. A boy from the looks of it, maybe Peter.” Natasha let those words slip as Laura turned back to them.

*Sniff* She sniffed the air quietly looking for Peters scent. Though it was maybe a day or two old she could just make out the familiar smell. She nodded her head to the rest of them, gaining their attention. ”Yeah Peter's scent is in the apartment, though it is a day or two old.”
