Re: log: carnage comes home
The girl was quiet for a few long minutes. She tried to imagine the destruction of Stark Tower, and she couldn't entirely wrap her head around her culpability, not with the blanks that still remained regarding the symbiote's escape. Why did HYDRA want Carnage, and why had they been looking for it at Stark Tower? She comprehended that there were a lot of pieces of this puzzle that she didn't have. Things were missing, and the image that was coalescing wasn't complete. But there was time to figure things out, she reasoned. If there needed to be testing (and there absolutely needed to be testing), then there would be time for all appropriate research before a decision was reached about what she was, and any subsequent action required.
She knew Peter would go easy on her, whatever she was, and so she was glad Flash was there, being inflexible with that blink of white eyes and his concern about misused words. "You used surmised right, brony," she said warmly, and then she took a long shaky breath. "I don't have Chinatown, and if I'm potentially still being controlled by or comprised of the symbiote, then we can't trust me to conduct testing."
She was quiet a moment longer, thinking, because if HYDRA was looking for Carnage, then it was safe to assume that S.H.I.E.L.D. remained compromised. "Mr. Stark has a lab under the Bay. I have biometric access. There are containment units there, and it's independent of the Stark Tower. There's no reason to assume it's not still standing. It should let me in, if there's enough of m- of Gwen in my genetic makeup." She stumbled on those final words. No, no, time for that later, and she blinked away tears. "How do you feel most comfortable conducting transport?"
