"I don't know about him, Sasha." a 16-year-old Lexie told her friend, "He doesn't look like the a kind of guy you should be hanging around..."
  "What's so wrong about Justin?" Sasha defended, "Just because he actually notices my talents, that doesn't make him weird."
  "It's not weird that concerns me, it's shadiness." Lexie looked behind her just to make sure she wasn't being spied on, "I--I over-hear things he says sometimes, and it sounds like trouble."
  "You shouldn't be eves-dropping on anyone, Lexie. He could have been talking about anything. Besides, it's not gonna hurt me if I start working with him in Hammer Multinational."
  Lexie could have kept the arguement going even further, but decided she wasn't going to get through to one of her closest friends, "I hope you're sure about that.."


     That was the last time Lexie and Sasha spoke as friends. In 3 year's time, Sasha stopped accosiating with Lexie altogether. The closer she got to Justin Hammer, the less she cared about her ex-friend. He successfully managed to turn her against Lexie; and Lexie, in turn, convinced herself not to dwell on her loss and move on; she had college to worry about, and Hammer Multinational's secrets were also going to have her attention. But it was exactly that which would get her into more trouble than if she had kept bothering Sasha.

~~~~~~~~~~~~  
  Lexie's first year of college was about to come to an exciting end; she was more than eager to graduate. She flew out of the building and took out her cell phone to call her friend, Tony Stark.
  "Tony!" she greeted.
  "Hey, Lexie, what's up?" her friend responded.
  "Just wanted to say hi and stuff..."
  "Really?" he asked suspiciously.
  "Well, I also wanted to know if it was okay to come over and hang out. College is almost over and I'm too psyched to keep it to myself!"
  "Uhh....Sure, yeah, I'm free right now!"
  "Okay, great! Let me get to my place and I'll be there in 10, 15 minutes."
  " See ya then."
  "Bye!"

  Lexie made her way through the streets, her purse carrying defenses for if she's ever attacked. Securities or not, Lexie was always aprehensive about walking on her own, even though her apartment was close enough to the college. Today was a little more nerve-wracking for some reason. Perhaps it was concern for supervillain activity in New York; maybe it was the big lead she was following on Hammer. It could be college making her more excitable. Or perhaps it was how quiet it was...
  An expensive car pulled up behind her; it started her defense instincts and began to walk a little faster, looking for a nice public place to go inside in case she needed help. Then she thought of how likely it would be that someone in such a nice car would ever be concerned with the likes of her.
  A couple blocks later, Lexie reached her apartment. She put her hand up to the entrance's door knob, then stopped. She heard a car door slam on the other side of the corner. Cautiously looking both ways, Lexie tried to shake off the unnecessary fear and open the door.
  Two sets of footsteps were coming near her. She barely had time to see who it was, and let out a small gasp before she was knocked out with a gassed cloth. Lexie was kidnapped, and being driven away to who knows where.
I found a way to upload texts to dA through Facebook messages. :D

What suspense for a first chapter, huh? :evileye:

(If anyone has a better hammer idiom to use for the title, I'm open to suggestions. ^^;)

All characters except Lexie belong to Marvel.
Lexie is mine.
