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.)
 

% Will try to get them to stop that... once again.

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..
 

% He doesn't have that much to gain from double-crossing a prospective 
ally, especially given his previous relationship with her father (and 
this would be a backward way of going about a ruse since he could have 
achieved the same thing by contacting her through more open channels.

�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.
 

But is it too obvious? Or maybe I'm just screwing with your head.

"Master mold" rings a dim bell of memory on the Marvel side; wasn't that 
a very large Sentinel?)
 

It popped out the original version of the Mark I Sentinals. It popped up 
a few other times, able to reconstitute itself from nearly everything. 
Assuming this is the same Master Mold, and in this univers whoc an tell? ^_^

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!
