The man gave a breathy laugh. “Your point? if you were even making an accurate point?” the man asked. Astrid rolled her eyes, arms crossed. She then began to watch Abigail. She was enticed and impressed by the seriousness the woman was playing.
“My point is we can help each other out. You tell us what we need to know and we will take care of whoever is behind this. Or we go with the other option and we make the offer to your buddies. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind protection, while we send you back to your boss who I bet will end up killing you,” said Abigail as she smiled. “Oh I’m sure you will tell your boss you didn’t say a word, but I bet this boss of yours will still kill you or torture you as punishment for getting caught.”
((In the case of Ultron and Whiplash torture would be used before killing him slowly))
The man had begun to mull over her words and he chewed on his lip. Astrid watched the man carefully, he must be in a pretty sticky situation. She thought to herself. She looked at Abigail, “She’s right. We can help. We are more then capable of protecting you guys. But we can’t until you tell us who they are.” She added.
Abigail noticed the guy thinking about her offer carefully. She knew he would have to tell them what they want to know if he wants to live. She knew humans will do anything to live, especially those who are afraid to die. This guy is no different and will want to live.
“So, what do you say? Yes or no?”
The guy sighed and looked at them, “This guy…..he just showed up out of nowhere. Dropping from the sky. He took our village out of rage.” He explained to them.
Astrid looked at Abigail her arms crossed with an expression of concern.
“This guy have a name or what he looks like?” Abigail asked wondering who could come from the sky to cause trouble.
Well, she is in a world where Vikings exist and recalls how they believe in Gods like Thor. She almost laugh at the thought of meeting Arthur’s dad or at least a version of him. If she did then she will need to be careful. She was told Thor was not exactly the wisest guy around back then.
The man hesitated in stating his name, “He called himself Whiplash” he said and Astrid suddenly showed an expression of confusion. She looked to AbiGail. “Who?!” She asked
Abigail’s expression soon changed to one of shock as she slowly regained her composure. She cleared her throat and replied. “Did this Whiplash happen to have a strange accent? One that sounds foreign?”
She is hoping he will give her a different response. Not confirm who it is since if this is who she thinks it is then they have a problem.
The man looked at the woman, “Yes yes, I found it quite strange. Nothing I’ve heard before” he said to her. Unaware how much of a threat he was really. Astrid looked with worry at the two.
This confirms Abigail’s concerns as she turns to Astrid before turning to the man. “We will provide you a map and let us know where they are at. We will take care of this Whiplash and make sure he won’t harm you. As long as you give us details about anyone else with him.”
She goes to leave the room as she begins thinking about what she just learned. It looks like the past comes back to haunt her family, but she didn’t expect it to find their way here.
Astrid did just that. She made sure to get the remaining details and location on the map from the man. Letting Abigail think things over it seemed to be a touchy subject and for serious reasons. When she finished up she released the man in questioning to join the others of his group. Then went to go find Abigail.
Abigail left and went back to work on her suit. If Whiplash is here then she has to get her suit ready. She knew how dangerous Whiplash is and how much of a grudge he has on her father. She knew though if he is here he will most likely have his weapons.
Something she doubts anyone here would be able to use. She managed to get the suit to work a little bit, but she knew it would not be in fighting mode for a little longer.
“Damn it. I wish I had my lab to help me fix this suit faster,” she said to herself.
Astrid walked as Abigail spoke. “Lap top?” She asked. “What’s that?” She added onto her question and walked closer to the woman she looked at the suit then back to the woman, “how bad is this guy?” She asked her.
She turns round to see Astrid following her. She should have known she would be asking her questions about Whiplash. She should have been more careful how she reacted. Still, sooner or later she should tell her about him.
“Let’s just say he is very very smart. And that’s a bad thing for you all, especially since it means he can make a powerful weapon out of what he can find in this time period,” said Abigail as she sets her tools down. “His dad was once an enemy of my dad. He blamed him for what happened to his family and wanted revenge. So, he built his own weapon to fight my father and almost defeated him, twice. His son, who is now the new Whiplash is just as dangerous and smart as his old man.”
We aren’t smart?” She asked. Trying to tease her knowing it wasn’t a statement out of ill will. She walked closer and listened to Her explanation of the man and nodded, “We will figure something out okay?” She asked. “We can do this. Just don’t get so caught up you stresstoo much. Then you’re no good to anybody including yourself” she said with a caring expression and a worried tone holding Abigail’s shoulders.
Abigail turns to Astrid and smiles a little. “You guys are pretty smart, especially you. Oh believe me I am not worried about that. I’m more worried about Whiplash. If he came here to your world then there is a good chance he also brought with him some technology from back home. Meaning even with your dragons you guys might not be able to beat him, especially if he is aware of the dragons.”
Astrid looked in worry at the fact of the dragons being in harms way. “We can’t fight him blind though. And he’ll find out about the dragons it’s inevitable I think” she said since dragons were such a big thing of their world.
“That’s why we need to know as much as we can about where he is at and how many soldiers he has,” said Abigail who knew better than to storm in to fight Whiplash. “He also doesn’t know I am here. So…” since she can’t fix her armor in time she will need to try something else. “I am going to try making some changes to my suit to see if it will help be better use for combat.”
“Well I have a location. I have all the info I could get from the guy. It’s all noted down or marked down. “You can look it over if you’d like. Since this guy is more your forte then ours” she explained
