"Well, that's no way to talk to a lady," Ellen deadpanned with a single side of her lips curled upwards, her arms crossed.

“Actually, I thought you were dead.” Lifting his eyebrows, Tony shrugged his shoulders the next second as if it was nothing. “Well, more or less, hoping you were dead.”

"Still so sure AIM will pull through?" She nearly let out a chuckle, but held herself together. Her face fell at Killian's advance, pulling back immediately. Ellen knew this was inevitable, but that didn't mean she couldn't fight it. She sneered at the blond man, "You really don't want to do that." Her voice was low, her accent twisting her speech.

“Congratulations on the downgrade.” He smirked. “Too bad I’ll have to take back Extremis. You see, I don’t let people leave and keep it.” He said stepping closer. All he had to do was hit her with the antidote he had in his pocket and it would be gone from her system.

"I know," Ellen's French accent was much more prominent, her face hardening, "And I'm prepared for that." She wasn't confident in her words, which was audible in their delivery. Ellen looked away from Savin, mentally cursing herself for the mistake. "I've been fine so far, okay?" She forced out, glaring. A realization hit her instantly, and a spike of fear rose inside her. Eric wasn't going to tell Killian, was he? Could she trust him? Ellen balled her hands in fists, a nervous habit, and contemplated making a run for it.

"I moved to New York. Kind of a hot spot for freaks nowadays," She shrugged, "I fit right in." Ellen gave a tongue-in-teeth smile, "What about you? Still on board with the whole AIM thing?"

Eric gave her a friendly smile. “So, what have you been up to?” He asked 

[coursingextremis-blog]

"AIM, Savin. The Extremis project, Killian, AIM... Everything." She specified, crossing her arms at Eric's trademark expression. "I need to detach myself. Move on. Killian's chasing his tail. It's over." Her eyes met with Eric's again, "Besides, I'm actually doing well on my own. Kind of made a name for myself here. No shame in being a hitwoman; at least, none I can find."

Ellen gave Eric a knowing look, then relaxed after he'd confessed, "Well, you're not wrong there." She agreed with a smile, "And if I really must say it, I guess I missed you, too." Ellen revealed, stressing on the words 'really' and 'guess'.

“Eh not at all.” Eric teased back. “Course I missed you.” He said honestly “Only other person on the team with a brain.” He shrugged

"Haven't you heard?" She mused, ignoring his comment entirely, "I'm on my own now. Got involved with all the right kind of wrong people." Ellen told her former boss with a flash of a grin, a hand placed on her narrow hip.

“What’s wrong? You seemed to enjoy yourself trying to kill Stark.” He asked rhetorically. “So what are you doing here?”

[coursingextremis-blog]

"What, and you thought I got the Extremis electrocuted out of me?" Ellen gave Tony a look, eyebrows raised, "C'mon, Stark. Use that big ol' brain of yours." She smirked.

“You ended up on a few power lines.” Pointing that out to her with a tilt of his head, Tony thinned his lips and just quirked up the corners.

She rolled her eyes at the teenage girl, slipping a breathy laugh out her straight-toothed grin, "Kid, don't make me shoot you. I really don't want to put effort in body disposal."

“I beat you to it, so boo for you.” She paused and smirked. “Oh wait- I did forget, fuck you. And your entire organization or conspiracy or whatever the fuck that is.”

[coursingextremis-blog]

She huffed a laugh, her lips pulling back in a smile, "I know it is." Ellen bit the side of her lip, narrowing her eyes teasingly, "Tell me, Savin, did you miss me?"

Eric let out a laugh. “I said, good to see ya Ellen.” 

[coursingextremis-blog]

"Mmmh. Really know how to flatter a girl, don't you, Killian?" Ellen deadpanned, arms lazily crossed over her chest as she bit her bottom lip.

Hello Ellen, I see Extremis has treated you well.

[coursingextremis-blog]

"You know me too well," She teased, meeting eyes with the taller man. His gesture confused her, Ellen's eyes glancing towards his hand briefly while he gently clasped her shoulder. She decided to let is slide, pushing it out of her mind entirely. Her face faltered, though, "I'm not 'back'. I'm here. If you think I'm going back to Extremis you're definitely mistaken."
