Eden was slightly surprised when Adrian answered her question but how he could tell she was about to use her powers, apparently the redheads eyes gave it away. She was more surprised that Adrian paid that much attention to know that. "Hmmm~" the redhead purred out, "Well now I know what to work on, so I can sneak attack you." She lightly teased, although no doubt that it was a slight threat to the curly haired male. As usual Adrian swatted her reached out hand away, "Why no touching?" She pouted, crossing her arms, "It's so curly and fun." She flirted, taking another step close to him, but keeping her hands to herself...for now. "It just begs to be touched, Adri~" she mock whined to him.
But that teasing of the Scarebeast male quickly became more serious, in that he brought up her JP. The redhead did not like the way this was going one bit, and Adrian apparently picked up in that. Yes, he knew of her going to Stark, she was sneaking Stark Industry plans to him after all, but Adrian was always good at catching her changing emotions about things. She hoped he hadn't catch on to the affection she was starting to feel for the brunette billionaire, but honestly Adrian knew her well...not as well as say Irene, but close. In fact, there was a phase in her teenage years that she was almost sure her and Adrian would end up together. But they were both too snarky and Adrian spent too much time with his toxins, that she enjoyed as well but she liked boys who fawned about her, which he never did. So instead the pair had a tense snarky odd friendship. She rose an eyebrow slightly as he suggested that they could easily find another technology genius aside from JP, that they did not need his help. "Oh? What villain friend do you have who knows as much about technology as the son of the man who, let's not forget, created Iron Man?" She questioned back, the snark and sarcasm clear in her voice. She could not allow Adrian to kill JP, like he clearly wanted, or rather wanted her too...at least not yet.
He called her red, making Eden's eyes narrow at him. He knew that was the nickname she hated most, that many felt the need to give her, as if she wasn't aware if her hair color. But it held more of a meaning that just being annoying for that reason--people called her mother 'Red' as well, which she made her hate the given nickname even more, and Ophelia had called her that since they were little, much like Harley had called Pam. It was just another annoying background reason to dislike the name, and Adrian was well aware of it. Red wasn't her nickname, it had been her mothers and Ophelia's old best friend, none of which mattered any more. She huffed, annoyance clearly showing. He began to list off red head super heroes, making Eden gave his words away in a sense. "First, I wasn't really expecting you to know any...you little hero lover." She teased him, if he was going to irk her every nerve about having JP as a plaything, she'd attempt to get him back a bit with this. "Second, didn't Gene Gray go bad then disappear to who knows where?" She questioned with a smirk, "And Black Widow was bad at first, so..." She gave a small shrug. "Besides, I'll be bad forever, bad girls do it best ~" she teased the toxin maker. She departed Adrian with a teasing comment, and a touch which he of course hated, to speak with Fae before their so-called leaders spoke to the whole group.
She made her way back over to Adrian, since Irene and Jack seemed busy with each other and Fae had drifted of to Kale and Ranka. He told her about some things he'd need to cause destruction, showing her a long list. She arched a red eyebrow and made the comment that any place that had the things he was asking for, was most likely heavily guarded. He asked if she was afraid, that smart a** smirk on his face. She scoffed, but said nothing as he continued, stating that the beast was ready to take down some guards, and that he doubted Stark Tower would have guards aside from JP and his 'goody-two-shoed' friends. She rolled her eyes, "Adri babe," she said, her voice sweet, "he also has a system that tells him when danger is nearby, oh and we might be a bit outnumbered. I'm not trying to die by the hands of the bat here, sweetheart." Plus she wasn't really up for going to Stark Tower with Adrian, he'd want her to harm JP, and she wasn't ready to do that just yet...or ever. but Adrian pressed and pressed the issue, the plan of his, she finally sighed, agreeing to it. Stating that she didn't care either way, she only cared about two things--the plants she held so dear and shopping. She smirked lightly at his treehugger comment, "You are too Adri~ that's where a lot of your toxins come from." She teased him. She tossed her long, red hair over her shoulder as the curly haired male commented about new outfits, "Gotta look good silly Adripop~ that's how you get what you want."
Adrian seemed to be pulled into his thoughts, Eden watched him with an eye brow raised in curiosity. He looked up, then down then to her, she was sure a curious and confused look was on her face at the male. He then looked to Doom and Darkshied. He then spoke finally, not that his lab was by any means quiet, Kale was there of course, that guy did not have an inside voice it seemed...he said he was taking matters into his own hands. Oh no, this would not end well. He grabbed a few things, as the red head stood there, unsure before grasping her hand and pulling her along to gathering the rest of the villainous offspring. Kale expressed doubt about this, maybe he wasn't as crazy as everyone thought, he was actually making the rest sense to her right now, but Adrian growled out to him and Fae was quick to say she was in and few moment later Kale echoed it...Damn it. If. They had disagreed, maybe she had been able to talk Adrian out of this.
She needed to warn JP, she didn't care about the rest of those heroic idiots that he was friends with...except Ophie plus Jack would lose it seeing Damien and Ophelia on a friendly level together, didn't Adrian realize that revving Jack up probably wasn't the best idea?! She texted JP, without looking at her phone, her green eyes fixated on Adrian. Also apparently Ranka had lost it, telling no one to touch her brother, the room dropping in temperature making the red head shiver, she hated cold. But with that split second distraction from Adrian, the Scarebeast male had came to her, his green eyes narrowed. He hissed out her name, grabbing her arm, sending her phone to the floor. Damn it. She opened her mouth to speak, her eyes narrowed at the male, when all words died in her throat as Adrian's eyes turn pure black, he growled out at her but thankfully Fae intervened, shoving him back from her. She told the angry Adrian that they need to her alive, he knew that.
She was able to breath again, grasping her arm where he'd grabbed. She might have been shaking she wasn't sure, Scarebeast terrified her, honestly it was the thing nightmares were made of. Fae wrapped an arm around her, as Adrian stomped away, outside the lab. She was able to gather herself enough to call out to him that they needed someone like JP, who was good with technology since most likely Kale would trash it all in about ten seconds. This made Fae grin, but Adrian was too angry to even reply, she stuck her tongue out at the door as it closed behind him. Fae spoke to her then, saying that she had a technology geek friend, make the red heads heart sink but she simply gave the brunette a curious look. She then said that she knew she was worried about Stark, but that he could handle himself, and that she was sure his suit would protect him. Wow, the girl was psychic. She told her that she wouldn't touch JP, just for her and to not piss off Adrian again. She gave a small nod, " Thanks Fae..."she told the girl softly,as the brunette placed a kiss in her cheek, making her grin a bit.
She collect herself, grabbed her bag, and followed everyone outside where Adrian stood, most likely still seething about her actions. He started walking away from the lab, she stayed close to Jack and Irene, planning on avoid him or at least staying out of his reach as long as possible. Suddenly he stopped, turning towards Kale and Ranka, who honestly now sort of scared Eden with her ability to freeze thing, the red head didn't do well with cold, telling her to teleport them. The seemingly timid girl once again turned bold, making the temperature drop and basically telling Adrian off Asgardian style, it made the red head smirk, even though she was shivering. Ranka then agreed, stating that it'd be easier if they were all close.
The group moved closer to the petite brunette, and suddenly it was like the air had been sucked from her lungs. She felt completely confused when, just as it had begun, it stopped her vision was blurred, and she breathed in a large breath of air. She could faintly hear Ranka state that she had teleported them not to Stark Tower exactly but nearby, that this might effect some of them and they need to be aware. It was definitely effecting her. She rested against a brick build wall, regaining her sense. "Adrian..." She finally spoke, moving closer to him, so that he was really the only one(aside from those with great hearing) who could hear her, her green eyes narrowed at him, "Do not touch my toy, I don't like sharing my toys." She hissed out, in reference to JP. "Unless you want to find yourself under my influence." She took out a golden bullet of lipstick, uncapping it to reveal a bright red color that she applied to her lips. The threat of her words evident in her eyes.
