based on jealous love plot ( x )

There she was standing across the way looking like she belonged on top of the tree instead of that cheap star topper. Stirring the ice in his glass, he stirred something inside of him just the same – jealousy. Why did she bring a date to this Christmas party? She could have at least told him; despite the fact he didn’t bother to tell her that he too had a date for the evening. Walking over to her once she was alone, he swiftly and gently took her to the side and looked at her as if she had explaining to do. “Um… why are you here with Tommy? You do know he’s a complete ass, right?”

Michaela didn’t really plan on having a date for the evening so when her sister’s brother-in-law asked her if he could tag along she didn’t think anything of it. It wasn’t a date per say he was just her plus one. It had been a pleasant evening full of good food and an open bar- a bar Michaela was all too aware of- and she nursed a Shirley Temple while Tommy went to speak with the party’s host. Probably to thank them for a lovely evening. When Luke grabbed her and gently pulled her aside, she blinked and looked him over curiously. What nerve he had talking about Tommy in that way. Sure Tommy could be an ass but he had been nothing but pleasant the entire evening. “For your information he’s my sister’s brother-in-law and he asked if I could come because I was in town for the holidays and he didn’t want me alone,” she said in a chilled tone as she watched him closely. “What’s it matter to you anyway? You brought someone along too, she’s kinda hard to miss with that skin tight santa dress she’s wearing. You gunna kiss her under the mistletoe or leave her standing there waiting?” Michaela countered gesturing to where the woman was watching them curiously, mistletoe hung over her head. MIchaela arched her brows and plucked the cherry from her Shirley Temple and popped it in her mouth.

“Oh shit…” Don said, looking at the other who was dressed up. “I forgot, didn’t I?” He asked, softly.

“You did but that’s alright,” Michaela moved around the couch and trailed her fingers along his arm and across his shoulders. “I wanted to dress you anyway,” she purred with a devilish grin as she headed for his bedroom.

Tallis frowned at her response, mostly from guilt. “No! No.. Dont.. Don’t apologize to me. It comes with the territory. Yeah it sucks to have to explain myself a lot, but that’s not your fault. Man I am just being all kinds of a dick to you. That has got to stop.” They listened to her next questions silently, then her admission as they followed her into the elevator.

“Nightmares no, but I do have insomnia. It’s not terrible though so I wouldn’t be too concerned. No changes in weight either. I keep to a pretty strict diet.” Isn’t exactly something I would want myself. They hung their head, momentarily unable to mask what was underneath. “Heh.. Yeah.. Well sometimes I don’t want it myself.” They held up their gloved hands and wiggled their fingers “Not only are these things annoying, they’re a real turn off to anyone outside of this base. Makes it hard to get close to anyone who isn’t used to it. And it’s not like I can just take them off willy nilly. Touch the wrong thing or wrong person and I’ll be passed out on the street corner.” They shrugged dismissively as their easy smile returned. “But I mean, it’s worth it to help people I guess. Someone has to do what I do. I can just do it better than most.”

Quickly they tried to cover up their moment of exposure by answering her other questions. “I wouldn’t worry about the medication. It’s only when I use my powers to do certain things. They don’t last abnormally long, as long as whatever I messed with wasn’t super ancient. As for current medications, I’ve got birth control and that’s about it. Other than the side effects of my powers, I’m fit as a fiddle.”

Michaela smiled as Tallis to her not to apologize, she thought it was rather sweet they seemed to care so much about her already. No one really paid attention to her the way Tallis did and it was kind of endearing. MIchaela shook her head, “You’re not being a dick and if you were I’d give it back to you ten fold. I’m an ass at times when people are being rude or dickish,” she assured with an airy sort of laugh. The blonde tucked a curl behind her ear and made the notes in her file.

“Do you get enough rest? I have some herbal remedies like melotonin we could try for your sleep if you feel you’re not getting enough,” she offered as the elevator started it’s ascent. She looked at the dark haired agent and then back at the medical file. “Hey as long as your BMI checks out you can remain on whatever strict diet you deem fit,” she said grinning wide as she shook her head slowly and wrote everything down. Michaela looked up as Tallis seemed to open themselves up a bit more and speak about their Enhancement. It broke Michaela’s heart to know it bothered Tallis sometimes and her smile softened. “Sometimes we do great things and other times great things are thrust upon us,” she quoted lightly as she studied Tallis with that gentle smile on her face. She blinked and shook her head of any thoughts she may have been having about her boys and the desert and the quote Romero constantly drilled into their heads during RECONs.

“Right I have your birth control written down here, do you know when you’re due for an update on that?” she asked flitting through her paperwork to try and find a date of expiration. “Is it monthly or yearly or-?” she asked trying to find where it was written down. “These records are a mess,” she sighed blowing at her blonde stray hairs falling in her face.

The confrontation was sudden, he hadn’t even noticed them before Michaela was pushing him aside and taking down the Hydra agent. With a quiet sigh he dropped his head,”Thanks.” Luca hadn’t worked walled off before, not like this and it was forcing him to tap into things he’d nearly forgotten. Had it not been for Michaela he surely would have been hit. Lifting his head to settle his gaze upon her as she assessed her shoulder he waved off her concern,”He missed me. If you’re alright we can keep going.” Noting she deemed herself well enough to continue he pressed forward.

“No. There is no way to tell who’s out here and all of us have pasts and fears to give into. Just dealing with my sister is dangerous enough. Should we run into my partner or Nat, or any of the higher up agents we’ll need to be together.” Scrubbing a frustrated hand through his hair he continued. “I’m more worried about our own people instead of Hydra’s agents.”

Luca knew how it could come across, how it probably did come across; Leah was priority and screw everyone else. At the end of the day she was all he had and the damage she could do to fellow agents needed to be prevented. If Wanda was under the influence of this Enhanced there’d be no safe space,nowhere to hide and he took comfort in the fact that she was much stronger than him. Luckily the Avengers weren’t in the building when this started, not to his knowledge at least and if they were he’d deal with it as it came.

“You’ve trained with my sister,right?”

The blonde shrugged her uninjured shoulder at Luca’s word of thanks. “You would’ve done the same,” she said before hissing when he examined her shoulder. She watched him and nodded her head once, shooing him off lightly as she said, “He missed the tendon and bone, soft tissue damage only, I’ll dig it out when this is over. We have to find Leah.”

Michaela wasn’t stupid, she knew Leah was dangerous and she knew things were bad. She had almost gotten lost in her own mind just minutes earlier because of a rookie mistake like running out into an open battlefield blind. She should have listened to Luca but she was a soldier and soldiers don’t wait for the battle to be over they end it. She wasn’t about to let Luca do this alone, he may not have been her partner but he was as close to a friend as Michaela got these days and she cared about him and Leah. Leah was a dear friend of Michaela’s too and she didn’t want Luca to have to face her alone.

She shifted past Luca and peered up the stairwell for more agents before ducking into the nearest hall and aiming her weapon. When she found it clear she motioned for Luca to follow her as she made her way slowly towards the armory. “Uh yeah I trained with her, I still do when I want a real good workout or need help with the new weapons. She’s increased my accuracy by like thirty percent, I’m practically a sniper,” Michaela said distractedly as she crept down the hall. “I won’t shoot her, Luca, if I do it’ll be to disarm. I don’t want to hurt her anymore than you do.”

Roux chuckled quietly, shaking his head and keeping his eyes forward with a small smile on his face. Though he had only just met this girl, he found her pretty easy to talk to. She seemed open and friendly and warm, and she was gorgeous of course. Maybe he was biased by that, but she seemed beautiful on the inside too, and that was rare these days. “Maybe not professionally, but when are people ever really good at karaoke? They’re just trying too hard half the time.”

Michaela laughed lightly and looked at the sandy blond with an bemused smile. She tucked her hair behind her ear and nodded lightly to what he was saying, catching most of it. “Wow sounds like someone is bitter about their singing ability,” she teased looking at him with a grin. “I’m sure you sound lovely, Roux, and if you ever wanna belt out Shania Twain to a bar full of drunken business men you do it because life is short and we need these experiences in life,” she added with a firm nod. “Hell, I’ll join you! We’re sing Baby It’s Cold Outside, a fun festive duet!”

Alice was further impressed the more Michaela spoke. This agent was well read and retained knowledge of fellow agents which she appreciated. Every language written. “Yeah pretty much.” She chuckled. More often than not she avoided disclosing that she was able to understand more than three languages as it often got her discredited outside of Shield. Alice smiled and absently waved off Michaela’s concern,”Rambling is fine. I find it intriguing to see what creates that in people. Yin and Yang. That’s a way to put it but I like it all the same.”

She didn’t miss the way the blonde seemed to need a moment before she was able to answer the question. There was a past there that would surely present itself in time. “An entire team at your back and someone at your side aren’t the same thing. While I’m not a fighter I am well aware of those differences.” Carefully she took a drink of her tea before continuing. “Pushing that aside do you like working for Shield? Do you enjoy your work?”

Michaela pushed her food around and sipped her water, straining to hear Alice’s question. The woman had a strong tone but the words were lost for a second when the ringing in Michaela’s ears worsened. “Sorry could- could you repeat that? My hearing isn’t what it used to be,” she said apologetically and with as kind a smile she could muster. She listened more intently, leaning a bit closer while her eyes followed Alice’s lips, forming words. Michaela was getting better at reading lips if she did say so herself and with Agent Barton kind enough to teach her ASL she was well on her way to being functional again.

“I used to have people by my side, when I was in the Army. We were a group but there were a few I considered family, still do in some respects,” she said catching onto the tail end of Alice’s words. Michaela popped a round tomato in her mouth and munched while Alice asked her a question. Th blonde studied the other agent a moment or two while she pieced together the questions and smiled. “I love it, it’s much different than the army but it still has that military vibe I missed when I was discharged. I like the business of it all, the constant work keeps me in check. What about you? Have you worked here long?”

Early Morning Bonding | Leah & Michaela

Michaela came back down the hall with her hand around Arietta’s, the younger girl wearing a scowl if there ever was one. Michaela found it adorable and giggled lightly as she walked with Leah’s daughter to the kitchen table.

“Someone did have a rough night, but I think pancakes might perk her up, hm Ari?” Michaela asked pushing her hair back and smiling down at the little girl and then up at Leah. Michaela pulled the chair out for Arietta and then pulled a chair for Leah and helped put the plates down and then retrieved some silverware. “Breakfast looks so good, Leah, I’m starving.”

Arietta was not having any of it, grumbling the entire time though a smile tugged at the corner of her lips when they continued to bring up pancakes. She did enjoy her momma’s breakfasts. When the chair was pulled out she ambled her way onto it still very groggy mumbling a quiet ”Thank you.”

“That’s my good girl.” She praised as she watched her daughter move about. At least she had manners no matter how sleepy she was. Casting a look towards Michaela she smiled,a brightness in her eyes now that Ari was awake. “Thanks Michaela. Well I hope I live up to it. After breakfast we can do a late yoga session if that’s alright with everyone. I waited to see how she was feeling.” She questioned eyes shifting to indicate Ari. The little girl in question stopped with a slice of bacon to her mouth to make a comment. “Yoga’s fun. I wanna do that.”

#uxwantedheirs #c: Leah #it wouldn't let me trim it

Michaela popped a bite of toast in her mouth and smiled at Arietta as the little girl got ready for breakfast. The blonde sat on one side of the little girl and looked at Leah.

“It’ll help her open up, if she’s congested,” she said looking at Arietta. “Nothing helps a funk like yoga,” she added with a smile as she sipped her juice and started cutting into the pancakes, taking a bite and humming happily. “Yum this is stellar as usual Miss Brooks.”

Tallis let out a small laugh at her cheering. That kind sort of playful innocence never failed to be adorable to them on almost anyone. The laugh quickly died, however, and a short melodramatic groan replaced it with a roll of their eyes. “Yeah. I have had that. It’s part of my job.” The sarcasm was sharp in their voice, but again, this wasn’t her fault. They sighed and started over. “Yes. I have had migraines and dizzy spell. No seizures though. See, the migraines and dizzy spells are side effects of my powers. When I touch things that are as old as dirt, it takes a toll on me. It’s a lot of information at once. I almost always get a migraine. Sometimes those migraines come with vertigo. And sometimes, for alien artifacts or very ancient things, I have trouble distinguishing what’s real and what isn’t. Or rather, what’s happening now and what’s a memory. Ain’t that the coolest shit you’ve ever heard?”

Michaela felt bad about having to ask Tallis questions she probably had answered a million times, but she wasn’t as familiar with Enhancements the way the other doctors and medics were. She had met Alice and the Brooks twins but there never seemed to be enough information about them. Michaela was always feeling in the dark about this or that and every Enhancement was different and affected the person differently so there was no real standard to go by like with people. “Sorry for asking, I mean, you’re probably tired of answering,” she apologized genuinely as her lips twitched in a slight grimace and she made notes on Tallis’s file. “Have you been have nightmares or trouble sleeping? Any changes in weight?” she asked lifting her head and then stepping into the elevator. “I’m glad you don’t have seizures, but your power isn’t exactly something I would want myself,” she said with a light smile. “I can see about prescribing something for the migraines but anything more than a mild pain killer might interfere with your Enhancement,” she said looking over Tallis’s medical file as she perused the medical notes and clicked her tongue thoughtfully. “Are you on any medication currently?”

Early Morning Bonding | Leah & Michaela

Leah waved her off at the comment about her pancakes. She enjoyed the appreciation Michaela showed for her cooking. Leah never held her cooking in high regards even when she started taking better care of herself. “She’s got a small cough. If it gets worse we can give your mom a call.” That’s all she was going to say on the subject. If Arietta was still feeling under the weather in the next few days she’d take her to a doctor. When Michaela disappeared down the hall she began plating the food, two regular plates for her and her friend and Arietta got a small serving of eggs,bacon and two child sized pancakes. She filled Ari’s cup with orange juice before pouring herself a glass.

As Michaela returned with Arietta she smiled despite Ari’s clear aversion to waking up fully. “Good morning sweetheart. You’ve got pancakes waiting for you.”
