Re-I Mayer was generally not an overly angry individual most would say shes apathetic to a lot unless it had to do with her boss. However today when Re-I Meyer walked into work everyone was running away in fear. It was a long standing rumor around the office that very few things could set Re-I Mayer off enough to bring out 'ReI' precautions were even set in place to prevent such an event. however something set off Re-I and that something was the attack on a Cirque Member that she had taking to watching for information by an associate of Mr. Xanatos. Her very person screamed death to those who tried to anger her today she even demolished half of the training room in order to vent enough to not break anything in her boss' room. As she came upon Mr. Starks door she slammed it open careful not to knock it off its hinges and bellowed "Mr. Stark we have a problem!" before stalking inside closing the door. "GLaDOS make sure no eavesdropping occurs between me and Mr. Stark I want this conversation to be between us three" she spoke her cold words not giving an inch of leeway.

To say that Tony Stark was stressed at the moment would imply he was facing a situation he could barely handle. This was far from it. Thanks to recent attack on the Cirque, any hopes he had of formulating his solution were highly jeopardized. Also, considering the Cirque's reputation in the public eye, if word got out that a government-affiliated task force was targeting a well-loved traveling circus, the PR nightmare would be astronomical. And there was still the matter of public opinion on Enchanteds in general. The response upon learning that the Cirque was harboring those very beings the public was so vocal about, the results would be just as horrendous. And it was all on him to figure out a fix for this. If he was honest with himself, he couldn't imagine anything making his mood any worse than-.
Just then, the door burst open, and Re-I Mayer stormed in without so much as a by-your-leave.
And, there she is, Tony thought to himself as he refilled his glass with more brandy.
"Excuse me," GLaDOS spoke from the walls, "but if I understand our relationship correctly, I'm supposed to be the one who-."
"Do as she says, GLaDOS," Tony said after taking a gulp of his drink.
GLaDOS was silent at first, then said, "Of course."
The lights automatically started to dim. The windows behind Tony were sealed with metal shield plating. Several unseen bangs from inside the walls indicated more plates closing off the entire office.
After a while, the bangs finally ceased, and a separate computer voice spoke, "Lock down protocols engaged. This room will remain on complete lock down until further notice."
"So," Tony said, feigning politeness, "what can I do for you today?"

"Tony...codename Diva has turned one of the enchanteds into a vampire!" she screamed her blue eyes blazing with anger that Tony would have normally only saw if a mission had gone terribly wrong "SHE FORCIBLY TURNED A CHILD INTO A VAMPIRE TONY! I know you said we shouldn't interfere with Xanatos' plans but by God Tony he let that that...THING! turn an enchanted that was in our jurisdiction into a vampire! who knows what chaos that's going to bring the enchanteds related to the girl turned are angry as hell someone would do that to one of their own." she started before turn around slamming her foot into the floor to avoid breaking anything in her bosses room.
"I know you told me not to do anything about Diva sir...But you can't exactly let me sit back and watch as a girl no older then 17 was forcibly changed into one of those things we are lucky she didn't turn into a Chiropteran else it would be the '99 debacle all over again"

Tony let out a deep sigh, he'd almost forgotten about Diva.
"I understand how you feel," Tony said exasperatedly, "and in any other situation, I'd be inclined to agree. Unfortunately, things have gotten a little more complicated."
As Tony continued to speak, he slid two photos of Raven and Kenoko over his desk towards Re-I, "Not sure if you've heard, but we had an incident involving the Cirque mission. These two are currently occupying our holding cell, thanks to your 'eager-beaver' partner. And once the Ring-Master finds out two of his own have been abducted, the '99 debacle will be nothing but a tiny skirmish compared to the storm we'll be facing."
Tony leaned forward, resting his elbows on his desk, as he looked Re-I square in the eye, "I'm sorry, Re-I. But for now, the Cirque mission takes a higher priority. For now, Diva's going to have to wait."

"Tony is Soujiro was going out you should have had me go with him he is my partner after all! you know he won't listen to anyone else but me in these situations... Well I will still watch her like a hawk Tony I will not have the company get put under the bus if shit hits the fan..." she said growling her anger diminished but still there before blowing out a big breath and sit down and folding her hands together "Tony... I think its time I let go of the power limiters we are going to need all the fire power we have for this if it is as bad as you and I DON'T want to be out classed by a child in case the worst occurs"

Tony looked at Re-I hard for a moment. His expression was hard to read as he deliberated his response.
"Normally," he said, "I would've told you the same thing I've told you countless times before; that the power limiters were placed to ensure you don't kill yourself, blah-dee-blah-dee-blah."
Tony then rose from his desk, picking up a remote and activating the view screen on the wall behind Re-I, "However, I've just recently made a break-through that might help you out."
As the screen came on, it showed a series of numerical equations and what appeared to be genetic displays, all centered around the image of a single vial filled with a blue liquid.
"Re-I," Tony continued, "the formula we injected you with, admittedly, an imperfect copy of a previously perfected formula: the Super Soldier Serum. The recipe for the miracle solution was thought to be lost, along with a number of my father's other blueprints, after the destruction of his lab at the end of the war. But, fortunately for us, I was able locate a specific DNA sample, and with it, re-engineer my father's old triumph, and finally make you whole."
Tony cautiously placed a reassuring hand on Re-I's shoulder, "As soon as GLaDOS is finished recreating the drug, we can-."
"Actually," GLaDOS interrupted, "you won't have to wait so long."
Just then, a syringe materialized on the table, containing a thick blue liquid; no doubt, the legendary Super Soldier Serum.
Tony looked confused at the syringe, "How did-?"
"Believe me," GLaDOS said nonchalantly, "I have a lot of time on my hands. Not to mention, the formula was quite easy to replicate after receiving the good captain's DNA sample."

Re-I Mayer was practically bouncing out of her seat "So with this we could potentially help with the gaps in my memory and such? because I doubt Tony wants me randomly forgetting what the actual fuck I am doing in the field" she said smirking at GLaDOS "Also GLaDOS did you have time to analyze the video I sent of the turning? maybe if we can figure out who she turned we could figure out why she didn't turn into one of those rampaging monsters"

"It might," Tony said in response to Re-I's first question as he looked thoughtfully at the syringe, "it very well might."
As he stood mulling over his own thoughts, GLaDOS responded to Re-I's second question, "I'm afraid that's going to take a little more time. The video quality is not the best, and it's going to be a while before we can get any definitive answers from it."
Tony stood silent for a while, looking over the serum in his hand as his mind worked over the current situation with Re-I. It didn't take him long to make his mind, as he then went over to his desk, pressed one of the icons, and activated a secret compartment in his desk, which contained a small, black remote with a red switch.
"This," Tony said, picking up the remote for Re-I to see, "is your 'safety switch'. It's remotely linked to the limiters installed in your body. Just flip the switch down, and you'll turn the limiters off."
Tony then held up the syringe, "However, before you turn the limiters off, you need to give this a full 24 hours to do its magic. Your body's going to be undergoing some radical changes. Your bone and muscle density is going to increase, as well as your lung capacity, and your heart-rate. And your body is going to need that time to become adjusted to the new you, otherwise you run the risk of causing serious injury to yourself, if not worse."
Tony then walked over to Re-I, looking her square in the eye, "Do you understand everything I've told you? Once we do this, there's no going back."

"I understand the risks Mr. Stark and I have full trust in both you and GLaDOS' abilities in perfecting it" she said looking back into his eyes inwardly keeping her emotions in check around him. She smiled softly at him before rolling up her sleeve in preparation "Tony...where should I stay for the next twenty four hours? my...room is a bit of a mess because I didn't want to come here when I was first as angry as I was..."

"If I recall correctly, there should be a free room next to Alpha-7's quarters," Tony said, "GLaDOS."
"Confirmed," GLaDOS spoke, "Living Quarters 102 is currently unoccupied."
"Good," Tony responded as he rolled up Re-I's left sleeve.
Tony took his time as he prepared to inject the serum. He still had his worries on how this would affect her. But, considering the effects of the drug on Steve Rogers, there was no reason to suspect it couldn't do the same for her.
Tony finally mustered up some courage, and moved forward with the procedure. After taking Re-I left arm, and using his thumb to find a vein, he stuck the needle on the right spot, and injected the serum into her blood-stream. A faint blue glow from the liquid was barely visible as it traveled into Re-I's arm. After the syringe was emptied, Tony took in a deep sigh as he removed the needle.
He then took her left hand, and placed the safety switch into it. A part of him wanted to again remind her to wait twenty-four hours, but another part reminded her about how sensible of a woman she was, and told him not to be too pushy.
"You better get to bed quick," Tony said with half a smile, "I'd give the serum about 30 minutes before...well, let's just say you're in for a rough night."

Re-I winced lightly before standing up after everything was done "Understood sir I will go to bed...and Tony...." she said looking him in the eyes before doing something slightly out of character. She hugged him careful not to press the button "stay safe sir I don't want to have to pull another '01 to save your happy ass alright" she said waving as she left to go to bed.

Tony was a bit taken back. It was probably the first time he'd seen Re-I hug anyone. He certainly never would've predicted being on the receiving end of such a gesture. It took him a few seconds to register the gesture, and returned with a hug of his own.
"Take it easy," Tony said as Re-I exited his office. Seeing her like this, and considering the benefits she would soon be receiving from the serum, help put his worries at ease.
"You do realize you've given her a larger yield on her leash, don't you?" GLaDOS asked, "Once the Super Soldier Serum is fully engrained within her systems, and the limiters deactivated, she may decide to take care of Diva herself."
"I'm hoping her better judgement will prevail," Tony answered as he went back to his desk, "She's a smart kid. She won't do anything too rash."
"If you say so," GLaDOS said.
"Anyway," Tony spoke as he keyed in some commands into his keyboard, "let's get back to the Cirque issue. What do Xanatos' files have on the animal trainer?"
The screen quickly changed, bringing up an image of a young woman with dark brown hair.
"Belle Leroux," GLaDOS explained, "age 21, Animal Keeper for the Cirque, records available suggest a royal ties to a kingdom known as Hyrule."
Tony rubbed his chin as he focused on Belle's image.
"Tell me more about this 'Hyrule'."
