Not a lot to say on this one.

Kodachi recognized him instantly. Hugh Jones was 
synonymous with Roxxon the company he founded, while remaining its 
primary shareholder.

�Yes, Mr. Jones?� Kodachi asked in flawless English.
 

FYI, smart quotes rather than standard ones (although it seems that 
fewer readers are bothered
by them these days.  I'm reading this in Mozilla Mail, and they show up 
fine.)

We�d like the Avengers to guard the piece until it can be dealt with. If 
you can arrange this for me, I would be more than happy to share some 
information that concerns KI.�

Kodachi had to admit, it was a tempting offer, one she couldn�t refuse 
for both reasons Jones had stated. Super-villains needed to be 
incarcerated and she needed to protect her company, especially since 
someone had attempted to kill her, as well as them probably killing both 
her brother and father. �I see. Very well. I�ll have Iron Rose broach 
the subject. If the Avengers are agreeable, I�ll inform you.�
 

I was half-expecting some sort of Roxxon double-cross which never 
happened.  Kodachi,
I thought, went along a bit gullibly here, but in a way suitable to her 
age.  An older Kodachi
would, I think, have verified Jones' information through a few more 
sources before agreeing..

�Damn! Only an intact Evil Eye would properly power the master mold 
unit. As it is now, it can only power one individual unit. A very 
powerful one, to be certain, but only one. We still lack a power source 
to mass produce the units.�

�We still have the two prototypes. And a third is being built by the 
German branch,� Roquat pointed out.

 

Heh.  Gee, I wonder what they could be talking about?  (The anime side 
is obvious.
"Master mold" rings a dim bell of memory on the Marvel side; wasn't that 
a very large Sentinel?)

And thus ends Act II of Avenging. Each character was focused on in a 
chapter, subplots advanced, and a little bit of humor and such. Next Act 
should be more focused (at least that is what the outline suggests. 
Tentative title for it will be �All You Need is Hate� but that might 
change. But there should be an on going storyline for it. In any case, I 
hope you enjoyed.
 

Indeed I did.  Thanks for writing and sharing!
