She\u2019d been looking for trouble honestly, for once. Depressed and frustrated, angry for no particular reason, and itching for a fight.<\/p>\n

Her taekwondo master would be ashamed of her.<\/p>\n

Summer just latched on to the dark beacons of similar anger and went hunting.<\/p>\n

But she\u2019d sated that need, leaving a few bodies sprawled in the darkness of unlit corners, aching and unconscious and unburnt for once, and she was deep into regret now. Regret for losing control, giving in to the shadows that haunted her heart. Not at all paying attention to anything much around her until she walked right into someone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry,\u201d the figure muttered, sincerity sliding off the word.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou might want to look where you\u2019re going, place like this,\u201d Summer replied mildly, half admonishing herself as well. \u201cIt\u2019s not safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI would hardly be here if I was looking for safe, now would I?\u201d The words came out a bit more snappy that Tony had intended, and internally, he winced: that\u2019s why being diplomatic and being drunk (and in pain, but that was the lesser of two factors) was never a good mixture to have when dealing with people. Like now, with the pain only adding oil to the fire of irritation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyway,\u201d the genius made sure he sounded normal this time, carefully\u00a0enunciating\u00a0every word – and just succeeding in sounding reasonably sober (well\u2026 just a bit tipsy, at most) \u201cShouldn\u2019t I be the one telling you that? Not to be sexist or anything, but you ARE statistically more likely to be attacked and all,\u201d Tony gave the girl a meaningful look, subtly noting her\u2026 somewhat ruffled appearance, and her overall posture. On the other hand\u2026 \u201cOkay. I take my words back. Guess you\u2019re one of those that can take care of herself?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Smart man,” Summer murmured. She returned the assessing glance and deliberately raised her eyebrows. “I definitely think I’m safer out here alone than you are — without your suit. Mr Stark. And that’s without using my powers, either. With those, I could walk down this street naked and nobody would bother me. It’s sweet that you’re so concerned, though.”<\/p>\n

She didn’t mean to sound quite so arrogant, and winced inwardly. But the words were said now, hanging in the air between them. She tucked the stray lock back over her ear and into her plait, watching Tony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
