	Novikova just grimaced slightly. Knowing that there was an infinity stone in there with Sparky and Raynor just made things worse. She was certain neither of them had a suitable container for it, meaning that if they were to touch it, they would likely collapse into a pile of ashes - or a fog, she wasn't really sure what the Quantum Realm was like in terms of gravity. And even if she assumed that they'd manage to touch it safely, infinity stones had a tendency to corrupt anyone who held them or used them. The Sparky and Raynor they got back may not be the same. 

	[color=add3ff]"This is making me sick,"[/color] Novikova muttered. She had hardly touched her food and she stumbled out of her chair, barely making it out to the trash can by the kitchen sink as she sank to the floor and started to wretch. All of the stress, anxiety, and uncertainty was getting to her. 

	[color=7851A9]"Sci-Tech?"[/color] Hawkeye correctly deduced. Operations and Communications graduates tended to have a little firmer stomachs when it came to this sort of thing. The science types tended to keep an (un)healthy separation from things. 

	[color=f6989d]"Yes,"[/color] Bonnie said, before she nodded at Maria. [color=f6989d]"I managed to get a portion of her DNA from...from the recovered remains. Based on my analysis, she has a match to two subjects: Pietro and Wanda Maximoff. Wanda is currently imprisoned at the Raft and Pietro was pardoned for his actions. He's working with the X-Men in upstate New York at the moment... But given the description of her and her age, I can't imagine those two had a child naturally."[/color]

	[color=f6989d]"...What I'm trying to say is I think she was [i]made[/i] - that she's some synthetic creation based on their DNA,"[/color] Bonnie continued. [color=f6989d]"Von Bardas dealt with a lot of illegal tech - and cloning tech is out there...It's probably some variation on it that created Luminous."[/color]

	Hawkeye nodded, but he was more concerned with the immediate issue: the mole. If he was right about his thoughts, then it wouldn't take very long for them to be confirmed. Of course, it would be good to check everyone just to be sure. [color=7851A9]"I think medical should have the equipment to make a lie detector,"[/color] Hawkeye agreed. [color=7851A9]"Agent Chase, do you think you could set it up? Have Agent Bautista go first - once she's cleared, we can add her enhanced hearing into the medley."[/color]

	Bonnie nodded. [color=f6989d]"Of course - it shouldn't be too much trouble to assemble."[/color]

	Hawkeye then sighed slightly. Abercrombie had ignored what he asked. Sure, he wasn't the mightiest Avenger or anything but it miffed Clint to have her not even acknowledge what he had asked her to do. [color=7851A9]"Look, if you don't want to do a quick screen, then say so,"[/color] Clint said, rising to his feet as he headed to the north sleeping quarters - the quarters that housed Hawkeye, Bonnie, Jim, Tinley, Cass, Harry, Flynn, and Victoria. [color=7851A9]"I'll find out myself,"[/color] he said, notching an arrow as he vanished from sight. 

	Bonnie's face then paled. [color=f6989d]"The plans!"[/color] she then took off to bioengineering and research at a sprint. 

	[color=f6989d]"Oh gods..."[/color] Bonnie whispered, seeing the place practically ransacked and the plans nowhere to be seen. Only the data that Tempest and the others had recovered remained, since they had been kept on a flash drive on their persons for safekeeping.

	For whatever reason, Sparky seemed to have checked out of the fight and Raynor didn't blame her for it. Still, he would have appreciated a little concern after he got shot. He loved her - didn't she at least like him enough to go [i]oof?[/i] or something? He gritted his teeth, pulling the bullets out of his chest and he screamed in pain. Pressing his palm on his chest, he cranked his light manipulation all the way up and cauterized the wound. 

	[color=d86615]"Thank Thor,"[/color] Raynor muttered. He then raised his hands to blast light at the other guards, but in the time he had taken to deal with his life threatening injuries, they were ready for him. The guards sprayed him with bullets, hitting Raynor repeatedly and the Asgardian lost consciousness. Most of the bullets had exit wounds and he was bleeding, his clothing stained with his own blood. 

	His last thought before he blacked out was [i][color=d86615]Lana...[/color][/i]
