Walking up the stairway for about the third time that day didn't feel so great for Margaret who was having troubling walking without having a partial limb seizure. At that moment nothing bugged her more than her hair. It was so long and so red, she wanted it all gone. Many other things plagued her thoughts such as the possibility that she could be found out, but nothing bugged her more than her hair.

Instead of going into the bedroom she and Margot entered a small bathroom directly opposite it. It was still big enough though to fit Margot, Maggie and another person if needed.

Margot sat the redhead down on the closed toilet seat and felt her forehead again. "it okay, your temperatures gone down, you still look pale though" motherly like worry filling her voice, as she rummaged in a cupboard above the sink.

"do you have some scissors?"

"Hmm, yeah on the windowsill beside you, wh-"

The girl's question was cut off by a low snip. Margot turned around just in time to catch her recent companion midway through cutting off half of her hair roughly.

"What are you doing!?" She reached and snatched the scissors out of the girl's hands as her beautiful locks fell to the floor.

"It was annoying me"

Shock was plastered plainly on the girls face. "Jesus Christ, if it was bothering you that much you should have said" Margot started to pick up the cutoff pieces of red hair scattered across the floor. When she stood back up, a small box of tablets was cramped between her fingers. She handed Margaret one tablet and a glass of water.

"Here take one, I'll get Meabh to clean up your hair"

ØØØØØ

The other girls had come upstairs loud gasps escaping them when they'd seen what she had done. They couldn't really say anything though, it was Margaret's hair and she could do what she wanted to with it. But in all honesty, she looked awful.

Meabh had attempted to clean up the rough edges but failed miserably, in the end the redhead giving her the consent to shave off all of her hair. The redhead looked into the mirror her hand rubbing her red-tinted buzz cut. What had come over her?

Now the need to have her hair gone vanished and she was left with a sick empty feeling when everything else came rushing back all at once. She wanted her hair back but when she had it, she wanted it gone. Why?

The flashes she had seen downstairs, what had they meant?

A long black car, a flash of red and blue and a grey ball hitting the ground. Right.

She had no clue what the hell any of that meant but what could she do about it? Nothing.

Jane spoke up. "I know we only met you and all, but you seem really out of it, I don't know whether you're like this all the time or maybe it's you trying to adjust but we all thought that maybe it'll be good for you to get some air, so like wanna go for a walk around manhattan?"

"Oh yes" She had no idea where Manhattan was but decided she ought to get some air. "Sure!" She was all of a sudden more excited about it. So they grabbed their coats and shoes and headed downstairs where Jackie was waiting at the bottom of the staircase. She wasn't the only person that helped around the home but she was the only one Margaret had seen.

"Are you alright now?" She asked.

"Yep I'm fine, all better"

"Okay, have you all got everything with you?" She looked at all five of the girls scanning handheld items and clothing too.

"Yep" they all replied

"Okay be careful and don't stay out past dark" she waved us off through the front door as she walked to the kitchen. "Like what you did with the hair Maggie"

ØØØØØ

They had taken a train into Manhattan before a short walk to Central Park. Margaret was admiring all the trees around her as well as the taller buildings that she just couldn't seem to wrap her head around.

Birds chirped and the sun shone, though not like it did back home, here it felt different, it was different. They had taken seats at a park bench and were just chatting about ordinary girl things but all Margret kept telling herself was, I'm not normal, over and over again.

She may seem normal on the outside, but If she was to let her true colours show a little longer than intended the girl could expose herself and that wouldn't be any good would it.

She didn't really feel like talking so she sat and listened to the girls and her own thoughts once and a while. They chatted for about twenty minutes, Margaret staying silent for most of that time before all deciding it was getting late. Their ride home would take longer since there would be people coming home from work so they took off at a fast pace.

"Do y'all wanna get something to eat?" Jane questioned. And off they went they, over to a small cute diner and ordered a burger each to take out while going home. Margaret had evidently never had one.

"you've seriously never had a burger?" Abby and Jane said at the same time shocked at this information

"There are your creepy twin powers working again to creep us all out," Meabh said sarcastically to the pair. Jane just stood her tongue out at her and Abby laughed at the response.

They hopped on a train directly back to queens that dropped them only two blocks away from the home. It had been a really nice evening with the girls and she felt content, that nothing could ruin this perfectly still moment. But often perfect things do not stay perfect or rather were never perfect, to begin with.

Meabh, Abby Ross, Jane, Margot and Margaret (I just realized that three of them have a name beginning with M which is really confusing lmao) turned their final corner and the tall building four of them were so familiar which stood over them.

"Come on!" Jane said attempting to hurry the girls. "It's already dark, Jackie'll be mad if we don't get in now"

On their way in, Margaret noticed a few cars parked out front. Jackie's red and white mini, two of the other staff's convertibles and one that stood out, a long black Audi. The redhead didn't pay any attention to it had she walked past and only had the others been goggling at it had she realized it was the same car she had seen in the flashes.

"Ah cac"(shit)

"What was that?" Meabh asked her.

"Nothing, nothing never mind"

ØØØØØ

Margaret and Jane eventually got them to turn around to go inside and to their dismay, opening the door just as they were about to go in was Jackie.

"Where have you all been! god you should really call or text me next time" she shouted

"Sorry" they mumbled and the woman just couldn't stay mad at their puppy dog eyes.

"You girls go upstairs I need Margaret for a minute in the kitchen" maybe her intentions for letting the girls getaway weren't due to their puppy dog eyes, she seemed excited almost too much.

Margaret followed her into the kitchen, which was converted back to this mornings state, the tv room cut off. At the end of a long table sat a man with a strangely shaved beard. The girl looked to Jackie and back to the man in confusion.

"ah finally she arrives," he said standing up and placing down the mug of coffee he had in his hands. "Tony Stark, nice to meet you"

"Who?"
