Iron Woman, Part 19- The Crimson B!tch

The Russian secretary, Antonia Vanko got up from her chair, and turned off the TV screen, which she had spoken to the Mandarina earlier. She made a plan to stop the armored heroes from finding the leader. She looked smart, well-dressed, and ready to serve orders from the Russian president. However, the Russian president didn’t know that Antonia had a secret, the secret that she made an alliance with one of the most dangerous villains in the world. She had one of her scientists, designing the new armor for her. This armor could penetrate the armored heroes, and their possible shields. Antonia also made sure it had every upgrade to counterattack their moves. She was confident that her mission would become successful.

She left her private office, walked towards the elevator, and pushed the down button. The elevator propelled herself towards the secret laboratory, where the scientist was currently designing her armor. This wasn’t the first time that Antonia had worn it. She made countless attempts to wear it and fly off in the sky, so that she could be comfortable. Both tensions and frustrations didn’t affect her. She needed to have that confidence, relying on her armor to be the best as she could be. After all, she was a powerful secretary.

She reached down the laboratory, and went outside the elevator. The scientist was an old man, moving things around, and searched for something that could replace the previous broken parts that Antonia had accidentally caused in the past. She spent millions of dollars to get her crimson armor fixed. She thought to herself, that mistakes could happen in life, and you had to undo them by repeating the same process over and over again. This time, Antonia wouldn’t make that same mistake, and she knew that both Tara and Jamie could be stopped eventually.

Antonia went behind the scientist, and touched his butt. He turned around, smiled, and continued focusing his work, as if he ignored Antonia’s existence. After all, scientists these days were really busy, not being bothered about sexual harassment, without noticing that someone would want to disturb them, or talk with them for a while. Even though the Russian scientist was an old man, Antonia had sex with him from time to time. The scientist never felt like having an erotic affair with the secretary. He only wanted to work through his way to earn a Noble Peace Prize. The amount of work he had done in the past, was intended to get recognition from his peers and colleagues, which was why he had met Antonia in the first place. In exchange of the recognition, the red armor, which he was designing right now, would gain the attention of his other fellow scientists. He made some progress here and there, yet he had failed the previous projects, creating the red armor suitable for the Russian secretary.

“Is it ready?” Antonia asked. She wondered if the scientist listened to her. He had slight white hair, with glasses on, so he could see things clearly, especially the work he was doing right now. He wore a lab coat, which he sometimes hung it over the hangar, or put it somewhere else in the laboratory. He finally faced towards her.

“It is almost ready,” the scientist said. He turned back, continuing his work. The reason why Antonia hired him was because she wanted power as much as the Mandarina. It was true that the Mandarina held so much power than her. But she would like to get some of it. In order to reach that goal, she had asked the Mandarina if she could join her organization, the Ten Rings. People heard stories about it, wondering why the name popped up in the first place. It was because that the most, powerful influential people whom they had joined the organization, wore ten rings on their fingers, one for each.

The scientist made some adjustments to the crimson armor, hoping that it could satisfy the secretary’s needs. He recalled for the first time that he met Antonia after coming from a Science Fair, which was held in the Unites States of America. He discussed certain matters with Antonia, which he wanted something more that he could achieve than before. All the previous attempts of using the crimson armor had failed, yet he was still on board to try and fix the errors, and not making the same mistakes again.

The scientist stopped doing his work. He took out his glasses, wiped them off with a handkerchief, and then put them back on. He looked back at the secretary, still smiling. But Antonia didn’t smile back.

“It is ready, Miss Vanko,” the scientist said. Antonia was happy to hear it. Now, it was time to wear the armor and prove that she could defeat the armored heroes, once and for all.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Antonia Vanko stared at the armored heroes in the night. She planned to destroy them at this very moment, not losing her chance of victory. She noticed the pilot was behind Tara’s back. Antonia also looked at Jamie; her armor was pure grey, offering the similar look and style as Tara's. There was silence between them.

Tara didn’t imagine that another armored villain would enter the picture. The last name, Vanko indicated that this woman, the Russian secretary was somehow related to Ivana Vanko. But she felt it wasn’t the time to ask useless questions. She didn’t want to waste it.

“Miss Stark,” Antonia said. “It is time for you and your friend to die. What shall you say?”

“I say, f*** this,” Jamie said. She unleashed her plasma blade, almost cutting Antonia’s crimson armor. But Antonia immediately flew sideways, which Jamie Rhodes missed the target. The Crimson Dynamiss shot several rounds at the War Machiness. Jamie almost got knocked over, and used her turret gun on her left shoulder to shoot the Russian enemy. Antonia got hit by the shots, but weren’t proving effective to damage her armor. She was glad that her scientist had made some progress.

Tara flew down the building, and dropped the pilot. She left him behind, and went to attack the Crimson Dynamiss. Who ever thought someone could come up with a name like that? Anyways, Antonia Vanko chose that name because it sounded sexy and vicious, including the fact that crimson was her favorite color.

Tara shot the repulsor beams at Antonia’s armor. She was able to hit it, but didn’t make a big scratch. Tara wondered how in the world she could design an armor like this. She was sure that she didn’t make it. Not like the ones she had right now.

The Crimson Dynamiss launched several, small missiles from the back shoulder of her armor. Tara Stark flew quite far away, just to avoid getting hit and then stopped. She activated a deflector shield immediately. The missiles hit her and exploded, showing tons of smoke, covering her.

“TARA!” Jamie cried out to her best friend. There was no way that the Stark woman could die in the hands of the Russian enemy. After all, she was a rich billionaire and a well-known scientist at that.

Then the smoke disappeared and there she was, Tara Stark who still stood in the air, being protected by her own deflector shield. Jamie Rhodes felt relieved. It was a good thing that Tara managed to activate her shield in time, otherwise, the missiles would have turned her into a meat loaf.

Antonia was surprised to see that Tara had her own tactical skills in order to survive the blast. Her missiles were supposed to penetrate the shields. She wondered how it was possible, even though her scientist claimed the missiles could do it. Without thinking too much, Antonia flew towards Iron Woman. She stopped, and hit her gut, and then punched the helmet with a huge impact. The Iron Woman flew backwards, shooting repulsor beams at the Crimson Dynamiss. Antonia hovered sideways, unleashing electrical energy on the Iron Woman. Tara felt the pain as she recalled how Ivana Vanko, also known as the Lash Mistress, had given her electrical sparks around her body armor. She wanted to release some of her own missiles from her back. But she didn’t want to risk, hurting innocent people in China.

Jamie flew behind the Russian enemy, slashing her armor with the plasma blade. It made a slight scratch on the crimson armor. Antonia turned around; emanating electric sparks through her armored hands on the War Machiness. Jamie also felt the rush of pain, as she closed her eyes and then fell down on the ground. Tara screamed for her best friend. She went towards her to see if she was okay. But the Crimson Dynamiss stopped her, caught her by the arm and flung her towards the billboard, which then lighted electric sparks around it.

The Crimson Dynamiss laughed out loud that even Chinese people may able to hear her. The chopper pilot down below, watched the action with amazement. He wanted to get out of here. But somewhere in his mind, told him to stop. How else, he was going to escape from both Tara Stark and the Mandarina? He felt like he had nowhere else to go.

After a few seconds later, the sparks around the billboard stopped. The Iron Woman got stuck with some kind of steel pipe attached to her armor. She knew that she got stabbed by one of the steel pipes through the side of her gut. She almost fainted, trying to open her eyes clearly, and see what Antonia was about to do next.

Antonia unleashed another missile that went straight towards her. The Iron Woman suddenly sprang out of the steel pipe with her mighty strength, caught it by hand. Antonia was shocked.

Tara Stark smiled at the Crimson Dynamiss. She then swirled the missile back at her. It missed the target, which the Crimson Dynamiss managed to fly away. Tara flew very fast, that she could catch up to her. She then shot a repulsor beam towards her helmet. Antonia screamed with pain, as she held her hands towards her eyes. Then Tara caught her tightly. The missile still flew towards them, hitting the two armored figures with an explosive force.
