Tainting the well.

“So, Vision, what did you think of the flick?” Asked Jennifer Walters, walking side by side with the android and her cousin Bruce Banner after they left the lounge and made their way up to the first floor to the main hall. The tall green skinned woman had her hands folded behind her back with a smirk on her green lips, all while she watched the mechanical man scratch at his chin in thought.

“The premise was fascinating, though I did not understand why they hired a ‘psychic’ to hunt down the creature when everyone else on the team was sufficient to the task.”

“Yeah, I thought that was weird too… Not to mention he was too on the nose sometimes.”

“I sense she was here… Says the guy who finds a corpse in a hot tub.” Chuckling and shaking her head, Jen looked up to find Tony and Greer stepping out of the kitchen and gestured them to join them.

“Oh, hey guys, Cap called us all down here, said he wanted to introduce you all to someone he met this morning.” Explained the man, sipping from a drink in his hand as did Greer who leaned against the door frame and shivered while she took a sip. “Seems she knows how to brew a good cup of coffee too… Not my taste though. Could use some cream.” Scoffed Tony with a smirk.

“I don’t know… I kind of taste a little cream in mine.” Hummed Greer to herself, turning to enter through the kitchen entrance and join the others at the table. Waving Bruce, Jen, and Vision over to pull up a chair up at the table inside, they all gathered around the visitor Steve Rogers brought home. The woman was laughing while holding a mug of coffee in her delicate hands, quickly bringing a hand to her mouth to hide her laughter after Clint told a joke involving him and Natasha back in Budapest. The moment she noticed the new arrivals, the blonde woman smiled and extended her hand to them.

“Hello, I’m Lilith, its nice to meet you all.”

“Hi there, Tony told us that Steve was helping a visitor.” Responded Bruce, gently taking her hand to shake and looking surprised at her grip before she pulled away.

“I made a pot of coffee for everyone, thought it was the least I can do for Steve, after he helped me.”

“Well, who am I to turn down a cup of coffee.” Smiled Jen as she took up a chair and poured herself a drink. Everyone else by then had poured themselves a mug of hot coffee while the blonde woman eyed them all one by one as they took a sip. Drinking from her own mug, Jen gave the woman a closer look as Lilith watched everyone drink and chat with one another. A thought lingering in her head when she finally put down her drink. “Has anyone ever told you look EXACTLY like a friend of mine?”

“Who?” Asked Lilith innocently.

“Susan Storm, you look just like her.”

Shrugging her shoulders and combing a finger through her long blonde hair, Lilith smirked at that before rolling her eyes with amusement. “I’ve been told that, maybe I just have that kind of face.”

“Yeah, I brought it up when we met at the door.” Hummed Tigra, smiling into her drink.

“Your anatomy and facial features are a near 94% match with Susan Storm.” Spoke Vision out loud as he too sipped from his drink, surprising the woman as she looked the caped android up and down with a look of mild surprise. “However, I can conclude you do not share in her genetics.”

“Like I said…” Lilith smiled, returning to sipping at her drink. “I just have that kind of face. Mr. Rogers showed me a room to get dressed, I was going to head out, but I wanted to do this as a thank you.”

“Hey… Where IS Steve anyway?”

Just outside the kitchen in a corridor out of sight, Steve was making out with Carol. Having taken a sip from the offered coffee earlier, Carol found herself feeling flushed and aroused. So much so when she spotted Steve leaving the kitchen for the washroom, she put her mug down and followed him outside. The moment he stepped out of the washroom and looked up, she spun him around and captured his lips in hers, moaning into his mouth when she felt his tongue dart into her mouth and explored her teeth and coiled around her own tongue. She was pleasantly surprised to find herself pinned against the wall with his strong hands roaming over her thighs and back. Instinctively she hoisted one of her legs up to wrap around his waist while he ground his crotch against hers, the two practically growling into each other’s mouths as their kiss intensified.

She could not understand it, but every fiber in her being wanted him, right then and there. She wanted him to rip open her blouse and suck on her breasts, to pry open her pants and rip off her panties. She was so aroused, her heart was pounding in her chest and making it almost impossible to think while her heartbeat could be heard through her eardrums.

“Hey Steve! Are you OUT there?” Called out Hawkeye, making the pair break their kiss to pant and look down the corridor back to the kitchen. With their wits returning, the two still breathed heavily when Steve pulled away, only for Carol to pull him in for another kiss and whispered into his ear. “My room… 5 minutes…”

Nodding to the woman, Steve slowly broke away, wincing as he felt her stroke her hand over his crotch before she slinked away and walked out of sight, leaving him with a view of her rear as she deliberately sashayed away with each step.

Entering the kitchen, Steve bumped into Natasha, the woman looking up at the man with flushed cheeks and heavy breathing before she managed to step aside and move past him, letting Steve enter to find everyone else there enjoying their drinks. His eyes went wide with horror when he discovered they were all drinking from the same pitcher Lilith had brewed a pot of coffee, spiked with a drop of her blood she slit from her finger and had all by now imbibed the viral genetic material. He wanted to warn them all, scream at the top of his lungs just how much danger they were all in… Until his eyes locked with Lilith’s at the table while the woman sipped from her coffee, and once again his body betrayed him. Whatever she had done to him, she now had a will over his body and mind. So, when he tried to scream out the danger, instead he softly spoke. “Hello everyone, sorry for leaving so abruptly.”

“Hey there Cap, where did you run off to?”

“Yes Steve.” Smiled Lilith, tracing a finger around the rim of her mug playfully while maintaining eye contact with the man. “Clint here was telling me a funny story.”

“I… I just went to wash my hands, I’ve been… Been feeling HOT lately.”

“Do you want something to drink buddy?” Offered Tony as he reached for the pitcher of coffee on the kitchen counter. “Here, have some coffee, your girl here can brew a pretty good…”

Seeing the mug offered towards him, Steve realised something he had never seen before. His friends gave off an aura, each of them did. Like a thin pink luminescence just out of the corner of his eye, something that told him on some instinctive level that they were healthy… Except for Tony as he extended his hand out to the man and offered him a drink. Seeing Tony’s hand, the man’s skin gave off a dark blue glow, one that suddenly made Steve apprehensive. So much so he swatted the mug away and backed off to bump against the wall, startling everyone in the kitchen. “No!... No, I’m alright… I just… Just… Need…”

His heart was booming in his chest and his nostrils flared at the scents filling his senses. He could smell it in the air, the scent of Jennifer, Greer, Carol, Natasha and Lilith wafting around him, making him flush and aroused, so much so he was thankful he was wearing jeans or else everyone would be getting a sight of his erection threatening to burst his fly open. Looking up at everyone and back at Lilith, the woman made a facial gesture the man caught but was missed by everyone else, her eyes shifting up as if to point to the second floor. “I think I’ll lay down for a bit, if I feel better, I’ll… I’ll let you all know.”

“Okay Cap, get well soon.” Answered Tony, rubbing his wrist after the mug was smacked out of his hand. Looking over to Lilith still sipping her drink and eye the man leave, Tony smirked and leaned back against the counter, not realising Greer and Bruce suddenly gave him more space as if they were startled by his presence. “Sorry about that, the guy tends to forget how strong he is.”

“Oh, I don’t know…” Smiled Lilith. “He seems pretty strong and healthy to me…”

“Yeah…” Moaned Greer softly while taking another sip of her coffee. “I know what you mean.”
