Chapter Three: The Salvation of Paradise

[Solace]

The petite blond listened as Victoria spoke her peace about the dangers of these missions, nodding her head in agreement with much of what the pale skinned woman had to say. She could remember clearly in their last mission being flung across the room by Victoria, and Paige knew she never wanted to experience that again. Albeit it had been her own fault, she was bull headed and that lead to trying to prove she worth when she had clearly been in over her head. Moving away from Logan for the time being Paige mentally thought up numerous ways she could get through that icy personality, that is if she even wanted to waste her time on trying to get to know the man.

Can’t be any worse then tryin’ t’ get t’ know Spidey. Paige thought, momentarily wishing that more of the veterans of The Watch were tagging along on this mission. It was times like this that she realized just how much she’d gotten used to her teammates, and it seemed like Victoria could use Hank’s calming nature and Tessa’s loyal friendship at that moment. For it seemed their new teammates didn’t trust her for the mere fact that she housed the Phoenix Force inside of her. Shifting her weight from foot to foot, Paige’s features were soon set in a fierce glare as Iron Fist ‘threatened’ to take out Victoria if she got dangerous, the threat soon lead to the Victoria leaving the chamber, which resulted in Paige’s hot temper rearing its ugly head.

“Who the hell do yuh think yuh are?” Paige demanded her icy blue gaze turning to Iron Fist, and her petite hands were clenched at her sides as she fought with all her might not to attack him. She’d already attacked on teammate before and that hadn’t ended well for anyone. “Victoria isn’t a danger t’ any of yuh, so yuh damn well better apologize for yuh’re behavior just now.” She continued taking slow steps towards Iron Fist, “She’s saved our asses more then anyone of us could count, and ah’m sure before this mission is over she will have saved yuh’res as well.” Paige huffed as she now stood only mere feet from Iron fist, and soon she glanced around at everyone else in the room her gaze shifting from one new teammate to another, daring any of them to comment. “What nobody else wants to ramble on about how she’s a threat? Or how yuh’ll kill her if it comes down to it?” The young girl was pissed and she wasn’t going to stand for any of them assuming things about Victoria, or Barry for that matter.

“Yuh, do yuh have anything to say?” Paige demanded as her gaze landed on Frankie who had yet to say anything to the rest of the team.
