You work alongside Matt and Foggy at the law firm. Of course, as one of the most successful lawyers in the city the one and only Tony Stark would recruit you. As you are trying to find a meaning of your life you find life in someone. It may be a rocky start for you two but maybe it’s worth taking.

Chapter 7:

I walked out a metal door when all the stairs were finished. Quietly I walk on the overhead squaring over the main floor. My back was backed up to the closest wall. I felt like if I just walk normally trying not to be seen or heard I would eventually fall on my face. Trying to clench the wall and feeling the cold concrete was what I needed to calm my heart down. I came this far, can’t turn around now. “Maybe I should take you and with that your team will leave me alone” A dark voice was heard. I look over and see a tall broad shoulder man who was talking to Nat. Fuck. Her head was restless, unable to pick up her head. Both her arms are tied with chains and hanging like arag doll.

“You killed an innocent person, you really think we will let you go that easy?” While they continued talking I walked down some stairs in the back, careful to watch if anyone else or anything else was in the room. In the back of the man who I am guessing is Kidd, there was a table. He emptied his pockets. I grab a gun hand and press it to the back of his head.

“I was wondering when you were going to show up” He turns around to face me with an evil smile on his face. I had the gun and the upper hand but he was the one who was calm. “I did my own research on you” Every step he takes I take a step back. “I know where you came from”

“Shut up” I take the gun closer to him. “You have nothing to say to me. Let her loose '' He chuckles, turning around and before I could do anything he pulled out another gun aiming it to the cieling and taking a shot. The glass crumbles down with dirt flying everywhere. I pull on the Nats lever and cover her.

“Y/N. The place is about to fall down. Take the door to your right. The yellow one! Hurry!” Maria pleas were the last thing on my mind. More dirt came down and I could hear the building crumbling over us.

“Nat?” holding onto her cheeks to make her face me. Her eyes were drifting and if I let her go her body would melt. “Shit. Nat. Wake up” Fuck. I get up, placing my arms under hers, pulling her towards the door.

“I got her” I look up and see Vision coming down. I nod. I see him carry her through the opening where everything was falling. I made sure they were gone as I ran safely past the door.

“Who has the upper hand now?” Goddamit. “ I should have done some research before targeting you. I thought you were going to be a normal person who if they are threatened they would always watch over their shoulder not involve the one and only avengers team." What kind of villain circles someone as the place is about to come down on us?

“Never did plan on it but since you literally tried to bomb me in the avengers tower, you kind of did that to yourself”

“Right now is not the time to be a smart mouth don’t you think?” He drew the gun closer to my face.

“So let me get this straight. Your boy fell for Jessica. Jessica was killed by the 3 suspects. Then your son committed sucide so you went on to kill the three suspects and Mr. Miller to cover up your tracks of revange?”

“Yes” He huffed, taking a look behind me. He lets go of the gun and starts walking away. “Now I know they won’t stop until I am captured but if you die here and I go to court for any of that, well lets just say corpses cant” He makes it to a covered door and locks it before I could stop him. Fuck. I run back to the yellow door and debris blocks the other side. What kind of ward, maze, or fucking warehouse is this?

“Y/N?” oh thank god

“Maria? How Nat?”

“Really? You are stuck underground. Mrs. Romanoff is a couple of minutes away from

the tower. Bruce is with her.”

“Thank god. Trust me I am freaking out. I don’t like being stuck in place more when its

underground.”

“You know what the good news is?” There's good news?

“My hair still look good?” I slide down the wall ready to collapse and stay there until I die

of starvation

“I can’t tell through infered but what I can tell is we have Kidd under custody and is on

the way to jail” another sigh of relief. “Are you ready to get out of there?” Before I could answer I hear a loud explosion and the hallaway I am in starts moving.

“What the hell is happening?” Please let it be an earthquake and not the ground underneath me falling.

“We cleared the ground above and now we are taking the enclosure you are in out to the surface” I could hear the container I was in hit the ground. Enclosure? What the hell am I, an animal? The sound and the smell of something burning was opposite of me. The metal rectangle opening fell, the light came through and an annoying and pissed off Tony did too.

“I should have kept you in here. Cut an opening on top and fed you like a hamster. That way you couldn’t get stupid ideas an act on them”

“Can we go home now? I did enough heroing today?” I know I didn’t help and probably interfered more than helping but I was tired and I hadn’t had anything to eat. No one got hurt and the criminal is underarrest.

“Yeah. Get in the quinjet” I smile passing by him. Never have I been so happy to touch the ground.

“You okay?” Steve says as I am walking up the ramp

“Next time I tell you to get out you do just as I say so I don’t have to come to you and have something like this happen again” I hear his slight chuckle. I take a seat and close my eyes.

“You saved Nat you know?” Lazily I open my eyes and see him kneeling infront of me. “We weren’t going to give up that easily. We have gotten into bigger messes before. As for you coming over that was a bad idea yes but if you didn’t we wouldn't have gotten to Nat in time” His smile always makes me feel better and he always knows what to say.

“Alright let's go home” Tony demands, walking into the quinjet. “And Bucky is, I would say angry at you but I don’t think that begins to cover it” Fuck! I forgot about Bucky. Fuck Bucky. Lydia. I am a horrible guardian. Leaving her alone with a guy who might have nice intentions but probably doesn’t even know how to take care of a plant. All the way I had two things on my mind. One Lydia and second Nat. When I told you I ran I ran to my room. I think all I saw was tunnel vision.

“Oh thank god” I pressed a hand over my heart seeing Lydia sleep soundly on my bed. His stare was very distinctive so when I felt a stare I knew it was him. I turn around and see him leaning with his arms crossed in the door entry. “Hey Tinman”

“Are you serious? Leaving me alone with a baby?! No. Leaving Lydia alone with me! To go to a mission that didn’t include you. That you could be injured or worse, died from!”

“Am sorry I wasn’t thinking” I walk forward tailing out the door so Lydia wouldn’t wake up. I knew saying sorry was enough when his face wasn’t angry but sad. “I understand-”

“You don’t understand anything! You could have died while under my protection! Lydia could have been harmed while I was with her. Goddamit!” I was looking at the ground like I was some little kid being screamed at by their parents. I didn’t know what to say and I guess he didn’t want to hear anything of what I was going to come up with. His footsteps moved quietly down the hall until he went into his room. The elevator dings and I see Wanda walking out.

“Everything okay?” Why did I feel a sting in my eyes? I never liked people screaming at me. But it never made tears form like this before. Not since the last time I saw my mother. “Y/N you need to understand way better than the quick story” She is right. I don’t know who Bucky is but I really do feel sorry and I have to make him believe me. “I will stay with her. Go”

“Thanks Wanda” I walked towards the door but stopped before I could try the knob. My mind was a mess or words. Every word that I think has no meaning because I am scared it's the wrong ones to use. “Bucky?” He probably hates me more than he did before now. That's why he doesn’t answer the door. Even trying to take a deep breath was a mistake. My breathing was out of order now. I turn the door thanking it for being unlocked. The lights were off but the light from outside gave me enough to see the form of the bedroom. He wasn’t in bed and the bathroom or closet door was wide open with the lights off. Where is he?

“Normally when people don’t answer the door it is because they don’t want to speak to anyone” Shit. I turned to the dark corner his voice was coming from.

“Normally people don’t seat in dark corners in their own room with the light off” Everystep I took towards him I had a bad idea in my head. What if it wasn’t Bucky? What if it was a serial killer pretending to be him? What if it was my imagination or just a dream? What if I walk into the dark corner and get sucked in a different demination?

“For someone who has a lot of thoughts in their brain, you can’t make decisions rapidly” I stop immediately after bumping into him. I kneel infront of him. I don’t hear him even flinch in the chair.

“Tinman I came here to apologise and you are making it really hard” Fuck I can’t come up with words now and that basically in my job description. But I can’t help this feeling, I don’t want to hurt him or have him hate me even more becasue I don’t know how to apologise to someone. I have never been the one to show emotion or love towards somebody. Maybe a hug and a smile with friends but never this. With Bucky it's like a connection and as stupid as it sounds I just crave him more than a physical way. Wanda always said I would find someone who would change my mind on belonging to someone. Having to give everything to them no matter the pain. To make myself vulnerable to them. I would tell her she was crazy. If I did find someone they wouldn’t rule my life. I wouldn’t be someone who would do that. I thought I was strong but with him, it just feels different. Words can’t explain that. “I am not good at apologising because I don’t do it often” I place my hands on his knees. Why? I don’t know!. His muscles tense but I can’t remove them now. “You can ask Wanda. I hardly apologise to people one because I am hardly in the wrong and two because most of the time it is something stupid. I can’t even accept and thank you because I hate feeling like I have to keep up an act of being someone they like-”

“You’re rambling” His voice was above a whisper and If he wouldn’t have moved a little I wouldn’t have quit talking to hear him talk.

“Right. Look I just want to say I am sorry for leaving Lydia with you. I should have thought it through but when I saw that the team needed help, well I bolted. I know you, Bruce, or Sam could have been of better service but it was my problem to fix. So I apologise for that. I don’t know everything,” Shit. I feel a problem coming. “I just know that I am sorry for making you feel like a danger to someone.” more a baby. “ I won’t do it again” I hope he could hear my sincerity in my voice. How can he make me feel so vulnerable? Like I want to cry because I caused him some kind of pain. I met him not even a week ago. Yet he makes me feel like we have been friends for years.

BLACK AND BLOOD

Y/N L/N is the daughter of the Great Khal Drogo although she was raised by the king of the unknown lands. After finding out he died she travels and finds the one who caused his death. Along this adventure she meets the mother of dragons. Jon Snow. Night walkers. We will see if she really has the Dothraki blood flowing through her veins.

Chapter 5:

“Let's go!” I scream, continuing to run across the ice. The horde of undead is coming down the valley and I am not dying that way. We rush until we are stuck in the middle of the frozen lake. The horde surrounding us on the shore. The remaining of the ice still standing give way under the pressure of the undead and some fall into the cold water. The undead keep trying to come closer and each second they are closing on us.

“Thoros?” I hear them behind me. Beric calls out to him as he just lays on the ground. “Thoros!” I turn to see him cover Thoros with a cloak.

“I say it's one of the better ways to go.” The tall man says. Sandor. He kneels down taking his flask and drinking what was in it.

“Lord of Light, show us the way. Come to us in our darkness and lead your servant into the light.” Beric speaks. Sandor moves to take another sip but his flask is ripped away from him by Jon.

“We have to burn this body.” Jon pours the remaining liquid on Thoros body..

“And all the clothes behind him. Unless the Lord of Light is kind enough to send us a bit of fire.” We see Beric light his sword. “Come to us in our darkness. For the night is dark and full of terrors.” Thoros body starts to burn. Berics sword moves to another direction and we all turn. He points towards the Night King who sits on his horse at the distance. “We kill him. He turned them all. All of them will fall”

“You don't understand '' Jon moved blocking Berics view.

“The Lord brought you back, he brought me back No one else, just us. Did he do it to watch us freeze to death? I've been waiting for the end for a long time. Maybe the Lord brought me here to find it.”

“Every Lord I've ever met it's been a cunt. Can't see why the Lord of Light should be any different.”Sandor says, pushing him off. The tension lowers and now we are just stuck here. Standing in the middle of the undead, it seems like we are about to become some in a minute. Sandor hits it with a rock. Another rock is thrown and this time the jawless soldier starts to advance.

“Fuckin idiot” I move next to him warning him with my eyes

“Fuck it!” Sandor screams rushing to meet the soldier. I don’t know how long we have been fighting the undead but I know we weren’t close to being done. I slash one man. Push another to sink into the water.

“Fall back! Fall back!” I hear Jon scream

“Come on!” Tormund slashes the undead infront of me, pulling me by my hand. The brotherhood tries to form a line. Pushing back as much as they can but the undead are too much. I turn to see Tormund wrestle the soldier and as he slashes him two more knock him down again.

“Fucking hell” I rush over cutting the arms holding onto his legs trying to pull him into the water.

“NO!” is the last thing I hear when I feel a pull on my leg and the icy warm engulfs me. I can’t see but I start kicking until my leg is free and I gasp for air at the surface. “Did you know it was too cold for a swim?” I roll my eyes at Tormund as he helps me up. “Move to help pull that undead captive” I turn and see Jon moving in further back.

“Jon” Once I reach towards the back to him there is nowhere further to move. We are cornered and all I can do is look around, the amount of soldiers is too much to take on. Our heads turn as we hear a dragon screech. We see Drogon blast the army before us wiht fire. Her other two dragons trailing behind her continued her lead. They melt the ice sinking other soldiers. Drogon lands on the ice island inviting Jon to climb onto the dragon but the dead get to us first. We hear a screech not a pleasant one. An ice spear can be seen pierced into Viserion and he rapidly falls to the ice. “Everybody hurry!” The brotherhood continues moving until they are all in the dragon.

“Get on the dragon Y/N” I turn to Jon and see him trying to hold back as many soldiers. “Y/N! JON!” Jorahs voice screams. Jon runs towards us but is tackled by some undead.

“Daenerys’ leave! Now!” Jons body disappears underwater. I rush over taking care of some soldiers on the way to Jon. I jump into the water trying my best to feel around for him. I open my eyes and see a figure, hoping it was him. I grabbed whatever I could and swam up to the surface. “If you could get weigh less” I get up on the ice but trying to pull him up is hard. I look up seeing the night king back away but as they notice my resurface some of the undead start rushing towards us. I feel a strong pull from my side and Jon is on the ice now. The man drops his hood revealing his face.

“Get him out of here” He helps me mount Jon on his horse then rushes me to mount.

“Who are you?”

“My nephew never spoke of me? How sad” He pushes me up

“We hadn’t had that much time to speak.” I reach out my hand “Come with us”

“Go. I’ve got time” He slaps the horse making it get going. I see from the distance multiple soldiers surround him until I can’t see his figure any longer. The horse rides towards the wall. I check my surroundings making sure no one is around. I stop the dark horse and bring Jon down.

“Come on you can’t die on me” I push on his chest and the next minute he starts coughing. “Thank the gods” my body falls back taking a deep breath. He turns around surprised to see me.

“Did you-?” I roll my eyes helping him up.

“Yeah no, let's go. We are not talking here” We mount the horse and continue towards the wall. “A man with a hood showed up and offered his horse. He said it was your uncle”

“Ben. The last time I saw him was in castle black. Before I swore into the night watch” I heard his sad voice. “The last thing I heard about him was that he was lost and probably dead” well it might be more true now. The ride was silent until we got to the wall. The man up high could be heard screaming about a rider. My head falls back onto Jon. “Are you feeling okay?” I nod lazily. Other than the fact that my body feels warm and my sides burn hotter, I am great.

“Are you?” I can feel myself smile stupidly up at him. His face looks exhausted and I was probably making it worse by leaning onto him.

“Get them down” Davos' voice can be heard from the top of the stairs. My body is removed from the horse and brought to an unknown room. “Let's see what damage you caused to yourself” He removes my clothing enough to see my stomach.

“Am I going to die?” I smile but he is not amused. He removed the only wrap and prepared to clean up my wound. “So. Did Daenerys agree to help?”

“I am pretty sure when she saw it with her two eyes it made her realize the real threat here” That was not my question.

“Even if the queen doesn’t agree to put hold on their war?” I hiss, feeling the cold water touch my sides.

“Let's take a step at a time, we still have to give her the reason on why they shouldn’t go to war yet” I nod my head laying it back down.

“Can I close my eyes for a minute?” I hear his laugh as he continues to wrap me up. When I said a minute I didn’t mean it literally. Greyworm comes in and tells us that the ship is ready to sail back. Once Davos is finished I get up and make my way to the ship. All the way I stay behind while the unsullied and the rest ride in front of me. Jon was taken asleep. He must be exhausted. “When we get to King's landing we will be right in the front lines” I turned to Greyworm who stood next to me in the dock.

“Will there be a fight?” I shake my head

“No.” I hope not. “But we can’t risk anything. My dothraki should already be in King's landing.” He nods then excusing himself. The water became turbulent but not enough to cause me fear.

“You should get some rest” I hear Daenerys' voice to my side. “We have a long way ahead and you need your strength”

“As soon as I am done here” She smiles, chuckling a bit.

“Thinking or looking at the view?”

“Both” I speak plainly. Silence now fills us until she starts to speak again.

“Jon has bent the knee and swore to me” I would be lying if I said I wasn’t surprised. I am guessing Tormund really got to him.

“Good” I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t want to come out as sarcastic when I said something like congratulations.

“You should go rest, we will be reaching Kings Landing at dawn” The sun is setting at the edge line of the water. I am sent off with a smile. I walk into the cabin on the ship.

“Y/N?” A voice said while I crossed the slight open door. I walk up pushing it open to see Jon laying there. “Y/N” his voice just above a whisper. I turn to close the door and then walk to stand beside him.

“You don’t look so good, Your Grace” A slight smile on my face. I kneel down beside him and look into his eyes.

“Well princess you might not look as bad as I do but probably feel as exhausted as I am right now” My knees hit the floor and I stretch over leaning against the edge of the bed. I shake my head seeing him try to talk again. I know what he was going to say, his eyes were soft and his gaze was charming.

“You don’t have to say anything.” I move my hands to his face, caressing his features.

The scar he has is close to his eyebrow. Removing the curls that circled his face. His eyes close and I run my fingers through his eyelids paying close attention to his lashes. “I may not trust easily, but somehow I trusted you the moment you walked into Dragonstone.” My hands move to his jaw moving it to turn more towards me. “I trust in what you're fighting for.” His hand moved to caress mine. “I heard you bent the knee” I look down towards our hands as they move away from his face. He nods as he responds. “Seeing what you are facing I am glad. You need Daenerys help if you want to even stand a chance” I feel a tug on my hand. I look up and my body starts moving on its command without him saying anything. I lay beside him as his arms wrapped around me.

“Lets get some sleep Princess” He lets out a sigh covering me with some fur.

“You need to start calling me your Knight in shining armour” I hold in my laugh look up at him. Let's just say he wasn’t amused. “You can be the princess” I see him react to that. He closed his eyes and I moved my focus away, the last thing I saw was his smile.

“You can call me whatever you please” I rolled my eyes pulling in closer to him before letting my exhuastin take over.

Description

You work alongside Matt and Foggy at the law firm. Of course, as one of the most successful lawyers in the city the one and only Tony Stark would recruit you. As you are trying to find a meaning of your life you find life in someone. It may be a rocky start for you two but maybe it’s worth taking.

Chapter 8:

After that night, well I should say day. After that day things changed. Kidd was going on trial for the murders and you bet your ass I was going to be there fighting for Mr. Miller. I moved back to my apartment and with a little help from Wanda and Karen I organized my schedule with Lydia. It has only been a day and I feel like dying. I moved back in the morning and by lunch time I was back in the office with the team. That afternoon after getting everything situated on things I missed Karen picked up Lydia from Wanda and brought her to stay in the office while we started our case on Kidd. Lydia was typically a good baby but when the attention was all on her or when she was sleeping. I had to leave early so now I am stuck at home with a baby. Nat was okay. A little help from Bruce goes a long way. Tony offered to extend my stay but I explained to him there was no need anymore. “Yes you can have Lydia while I see her” Wanda called me as soon as I got home. Talking my ear off and now she offered herself again to keep an eye out on Lydia so I can go to therapy. I am so thankful for her and Karen but god, it's 7 and it's been a long day and all I want to do is lay down and sleep.

“Great. I will be there at 9 to pick her up. After your appointment can you accompany me to mine?”

“Of course Wanda. Now get some rest”

“But it's just-” I hung up the phone before she could continue talking. “Ready to go to sleep?” I ask an already asleep baby. She skipped her nap thankfully so she was out like a light once I placed her in her playmat. I grabbed her and gently placed her on my bed and created a fort around her. It feels nice spending the night back home. I took a quick shower and went to bed.

In the morning of course Lydia decided to wake me up at 7 in the morning. “You are messing up my schedule, did you know that?” She responded with a cry. “Okay, okay. Let's get you some food.” a quick change and on our way to the kitchen we go. “I don’t have a chair for you” Can’t have her on her playmat, she might learn how to crawl and it's not safe for a baby here. “Guess you are going to be my suchef” I place a 2 slice of bread in the toaster while holding her bottle with my shoulder so I could use my only available arm to make my breakfast. A strawberry toast will be enough for this morning.

“Hey-” I am grateful my friends have a second sense. “That baby on your hip looks out of order” I roll my eyes at Matt. I kind of hope now the knife I threw at him wouldn’t have missed.

“Shut up. You scared me. Here” I extend Lydia to him and push her into his arms. “Let me wash her bottle so I can get ready” With the scare I dropped her bottle. “What are you doing here?”

“Just checking up on you” I know by his look that there was more to his story but I didn’t have time for it right now. I hand him the bottle and as he begins feeding Lydia I start on my toast. “Haven’t seen you in days other than yesterday, just wanted to check in.”

“Well everything seems to be back to normal, other than the baby of course.” She is such a good baby. Ugh.

“What's wrong?” I shake my head ignoring him as I walk into my room. I go into my room to get ready. Once I am done I pack up Lydias diaper bag and grab her some clothes so I can change her into some more appropriate summer clothing. By that time the clock hit 8:40. “I should get going. Someone has to do all the work in the office”

“Tony invited me over for lunch. I will be in this afternoon so show you I can do all the work you did in a week in just an hour” With a laugh he walks out the door just in time for Wanda to show up.

“Is the little girl ready?” Before I could get her up and hand her over to Wanda she dropped all her things to pick her up. “Aww where did you get this dress?” It was an all white with white flower detailing dress.

“Long story. It's a keepsake.”

“Umm. Ok” I don’t know if she just didn’t want to ask or if she just wanted to get back to Lydia but usually she would persist until I tell her.

“She already downed her first milk. I will be back around 10:30. So if you just want to give her a snack in the span of that”

“Got it” I chuckle, grabbing my things and saying my goodbyes. Took my 15 minutes to be at her office door knocking.

“Goodmorning Y/N please take a seat” I feel like a little kid waiting to be told wrong everytime I am on this couch. “How are you?” I hate this conversation starters

“Good. Can we get through this please?”

“Very well” she opens her notepad and prepares her pen. “I hear the latest on your case” fuck.

“Yes. Bad guy tried to kill me just like he killed innocent people. In the middle of all that I got the guardianship of Mr. Miller's baby, that is until her grandparents come and picked her up. Bad guy is in jail. The end”

“Are you doing okay with all of that?”

“Yes. Bad guy in jail so no more threats to my life. Baby is an adjustment but in a couple days it will be resolved” There it is, the first note in her notepad. I think we spent the whole session talking about the case and how I was feeling every second until now. I know how I felt. Maybe I didn’t take the right actions towards every feeling but I have to admit taking the time to associate myself with what has happened in the past days was good for me.

“It seems like the baby bothers you more than the whole threat towards your life” that is crazy. “Remember you have a difficult time understanding feelings” Bullshit. “Also remember to listen and not denie or fight against my words” Fuck.

“The baby will be off to her grandparents soon, no need to care for it if it's stay is temporary” it's true. I like the little baby but I am just her pitstop to people who will love and care for her better than I could ever do.

“You are correct but you also know this has to do with your feeling towards change?” How dare she ask me. Ain’t she the therapist to figure this out? “With the session you have taken you have shown aggression but at the same time sadness at change. You can’t accept it.” Wrong

“Okay I will work on that” Check. The topic is getting frustrating and I tend to let it out with words so to save her and me of any embarrassment I prefer changing the subject.

“Alright we will move on” Another note to her notepad. “So last time we spoke about your past. You didn’t want to get into it a lot but you did tell me something I didn’t catch on until now” Fuck. I said too much. “You don’t want to go back home, why?”

“I have a life here already. Nothing is waiting for me back there and if this is all about honestly well, that place is not my home. It's just that, a place”

“Even a place can hold a lot of answers. I think for this session you can take a visit back home. Take your time but I don’t want you to come back until you do” Hell yeah. That can be days, weeks, mon- “Never mind. I will give you till this weekend to do that” She rushes me to the door and I couldn’t even talk back as the door meets my face. What just happened? There is no way in hell I can do that this weekend. I let that go to the back of my mind. It's Tuesday and I still have 3 days until then, I will figure something out before then. I drive down to my house and see Wanda playing with Lydia on the ground.

“She didn’t want to take a nap”

“As long as she is not crying and grumpy” And no she was not. “Ready to go?” Wanda nods, placing Lydia in her car seat. “Where are we going anyways?”

“It's a surprise” This surprise didn’t last long. As soon as we parked right infront of it and she took one look at my face waiting for my reaction I knew I guessed right. How could she have kept this a secret? Does everyone in the tower know about this? She didn’t even give any sign of it.

“The doctor will be right in” The kind nurse said, closing the door as she left the room we were in.

“When did you find out?” She was laying on the bed calmly as possible

“3 weeks ago. I felt a little change the day I found out. Mine is not normal like everyone else but I decided that I wanted to enjoy it my way.” Lydia was looking around the dark room, surprisingly not scared of the dark. Most babies like to see their surroundings and get uncomfortable in the darkness.

“Does everyone know?” She shakes her head. A big grin appears in her face as she pulls out her phone.

“I want to do a reveal to everyone and I am going to need your help” I gave her a quick nod before the doctor appeared.

“Well let's check how the baby is doing” I look over to Wanda and for a moment I black out. I feel like the one who should be nervous is her, not me. She is having a baby. A human being is growing inside of her and she is going to be a great mother. That was the whole reason she wanted to spend more time with Lydia. That sneaky little thing. “The baby is doing great. Great heartbeat, strong” Wanda smiles proudly like if she had gotten an A in a project “ You are 18 weeks as of yesterday and you know what that means?” She can’t calculate dates right. “We can find out the gender today” She grabs my hands shaking it with excitement

“Can you write it in an envelope, keeping it a secret?” She really wanted to go all out on this which I don’t blame her. Now that I see how much she craves this I am starting to get excited too.

“Of course. Go ahead and change and the nurse upfront will have that for you” We thank the doctor before he leaves. Wanda changes and all the car ride home her smile still doesn’t fade.

“I want those confetti twisty things and this” She shows me her phone real quick so I can go back to focusing on the road. “ The color smoke for pictures” Her smile and picture showing didn’t stop until we were in the tower. She wanted it to be a surprise for everyone else. The envelope was saved in Lydias car seat pocket. “Vis is lunch ready?” Wanda screams walking out the elevator to the kitchen. That seems like a queue for Lydia to start crying. I didn’t want to disturb anyone so I walked towards the old room I stayed in. I close the door and take Lydia out of her car seat.

“Wanda and Vis are finishing lunch so no bottle until then okay?” I tried to calm her down but nothing was working. I changed her diaper and even tried playing with her toy but nothing helped.

“Miss Y/L/N. Wanda says you can come to lunch now” I thank Jarvis and god. Hopefully food helps calm her down. And it did. Atleast for some time, she went back to crying after eating.

“Did you change her already?” I nod “Play with her?” I nod “Maybe she needs another bottle” Tony was about to get up but I shake my head

“She just ate. That will upset her stomach” I don’t know how parents do this. “She has been missing her naps but everytime if I put her down she refuses to sleep”

“Well try again” What else can I do right? I excuse myself and take her to the room again. I read her a book but her crys are still going. I try to rock her to some music but she doesn’t stop crying. Maybe she is sick? I place her in the bed surrounded by pillows and I go into the bathroom. I know I could just go with Bruce to get her checked but a thermostat can help much faster. Bingo, the baby has a fever. Tony orders some medicine for her as I begin to run her a bath. The cries stop but I can tell she is exhausted.

“Just go to sleep. A good sleep will help you a ton” After a couple minutes of nothing. Her just staring at the wall will I talk to her like she was going to respond. I take her out and just put her diaper on.

“Here's the medicine” I thank Tony. He leaves me while I give her the necessary dose and there goes the cries again.

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

“My father fancied himself a real macho guy and he was hell-bent on turning my brother and I into more like him” We listen to him as I continue to clean him up. “ Unfortunately, his methods were a little unsound, he started working very hard on my brother that I knew at a certain point it was going to be him or my brother” I nudge him to sit up and when he does I start wrapping a bandage around his waist. “ When it did” he shrugged, his voice sounded out of breath but no emotion, like always “I decided it was going to be him” My eyes wanted to look at him. Somehow tell him that it was a brave thing to do. Maybe not the way it should have been handled but I know as young boy it was a hard decision he had to make. “I thought I did a noble thing but everyone else thought I should go to jail” I get up from crunching down and pulled down his shirt. “Then Fitzroy found me”

“Hand” I extend my hand towards him. I move the old rag he had around it off. “So you had a brother” It came out more playful than I wanted it to but it did make me smile knowing that he had someone he truly loved out there somewhere.

“Yeah” He nods. I start wrapping his had when he stops me by grabbing my wrist with his right one. “I would have said something-” I cut him off shaking my head

“We didn’t spend enough time together for that much trust” after such a long time this was the first time I was close to him again. This close. Where he can whisper anything and I would be able to hear. Where I am close enough to see his chest as he inhales and exhales everytime. To fill his aura surrounding me.

“Trust me, you’re in the top 3” I laughed louder than expected but it was so cheesy.

“Sorry” calming myself I removed my hands from his and finished wrapping his hand. “Lets go get our girl” taking an epipen he sticks it in one of his legs.

“And Fitzroy” My eyes look back making him stop in his tracks

“I know what I said” A little colder but he must know that I am only going for Claire. If it come to a decision I will do what I feel is right. He opened his mouth to speak but I turned around and got back into the car. The whole ride was silence. Dani took a nap but I could feel Six’s eyes on me. “We’re here” Stirring awake Dani gets out the car and opens the trunk. “I’ll distract you shoot” faceing the way of the men secuing the perimeter I see six already there. “Fuck you” I explaimed

“You want to” Dani runs after him, shooting the two guys. She gives me a smile before returning to pay attention to six. “Make sure is loaded”

“One time, and you ran” Six lift his arm in surrender.

“Who throws and unloaded gun to someone they are working with”

“Enough” I say opening the chest in the truck

“I get the big one” I laughed, grabbing a handgun and a knife.

“You distract them and we are going to go in a find Caire and Fitzroy” Dani nods walking to the front of the castle Lloyd was in. “Go ahead I will be right behind you” Its been a long time since I had gone into a mission. Let alone one who was this dangerous. “Lets get our girl and get out of here” Maybe it was because I was feeling the adrenaline kick in or because his words gave me feeling of feeling safe. Like if everything was going to be okay aslong as I was with him. I grabbed his face and kiss him. His arms wrapped around me pulling me closer. Although the feeling against him was enough it made me said the sound of a car exploding made us break apart.

“Lets go” I say running in as Dani was outside. We walked in sneaking around not wanting to get noticed. “I think those scary men with guns have her locked in” I say pointing at the end of the hallway.

“Ladies first” I roll my eyes walking out the corner.

“Who are you?” one man spoke pointing the guns at me

“Oh am sorry I must have gotten lost, Lloyd didn’t tell me where the bathroom was” I gave them one of my smiles.

“He knows how to pick them” the guy on the left tells the other one laughing. “I will show you the bathroom” he takes a step coming close to me. I grab a hold of his gun turning it around with much force to start suffocating him with the band. Before the guy could aim I take out my knife targeting his head.

“Why do you always apologise?” I know he was being sarcastic but not was the time I noticed I was beingined like that.

“People underestimate girls, and more when hey admit they were wrong somehow” I shrug letting the man fall. Six opens the door and walk in.

“Took you long enough” I hear Claire says hugging Fitzroy tight. They probably thought Lloyd or one of his men where here to cause more pain.

“Am sorry. My flight was delayed, I was underequppied” Six closes the blinds handing Fitz a gun.

“I’d know you’d catch another one” He turns to me.

“What took you so long?” My eyes move behind him seeing claire with a broken lip.

“Apparently when you hand with some bad crowd they tend to come after you too” I smile giving her a hug.

“Am still mad you left” I laugh.

“Well I am here now and beggars can’t be choosers so let us save your and we will call it even”

“Promise you won’t leave like that again and you have a deal” I give her a glare but brush it off.

“Deal” We shake hands as smiles appears in our faces. I usher her to Six who gives her some plugs.

“Listen am really sorry-” I lift my hand up stopping him.

“I respect you enough not to leave you behind but understand I am only here because of her” Without an answer I walk towards the doors making sure it was okay. “Close your eyes” I tell claire grabbing her arm. We pass down the hallway to the right towards outside. Dani’s explosions stopped. “We need to go” They follow behind six and I cover the back until bullets are aimed at us. We hid quickly Six securing Claire behind a post.

“Lets go” Six screamed

“Yall go I will be right behind you” We turn to see Fitz resting against another post clutching his chest.

“We don’t have much time!” I yell motion us to leave

“I don’t have much time!” He removed his hand and we see the stain of blood getting bigger and bigger. “Take her and leave. Hand me a grenade and leave!”

My eyes were fighting to not let tears flow out. Claire can be heard crying and screaming. “We have to go” Six yells. I usher him off and see them jump off into the water.

“Take the gun and go. Safe her” I kneel down before him putting the grenade in his hand.

“You have to understand you took something that is worth my life and spreaded it like some petty news” He closes his eyes nodding

“I understand. You will do anything for them just like me. Can you promise me you will protect them? You and Six are all they have left and I would like for them to grow up and be as strong as you one day.” My eyes focuses on the noise coming in. “Go” he pushes me away as I see Lloyd coming closer and closer. I takes steps back where I can overlook Six swimming away with Claire. They need to get as far a possible.

“Never thought I would see you again and even working for the enemy” he laughs strutting closer taking a look at Fitz. “You think you are so good but in all honesty you are just as bad as me. The things you hate about me, you wish you could do. You hate me becuse you know that deep down you will not hesitate to do what I have done before. We all have our reasons”

“She is nothing like you” Fitz takes the pin out and I rush to climb on the the railings and jump into the water. I could feel the water suffocating me while the fire lit the surface. As soon as am out I look for Six.

“His moving with Claire towards the front” I hear my earpiece go off

“Thank you” I say, making a run for it. “As much as I like you in my ear I will have to let you go” the static sound was messing with my ear drums. I go up and see Six running towards the gardens.

“Lloyd has Claire” I nod following close behind into the maze. “Over here” we sprint hearing Claires screams until they stop. “Why did you stay behind?” I took it as a question but it sounded like a demand. Like if I was supposed to apoloise for something.

“I had to to clear my head”

“You left because of him didn’t you?” he looks at me for a quick second until he is back to looking everywhere else but me.

“Heres not the time, when we get out of here I will tell you everything” I rush past him until we see come to the middle of the maze. Theres a water fall pond in the middle with Lloyd and Claire on the opposite side of us.

“How did you like the swim?” He laughs moving just a little so we can notice the gun in his hand.

“Nice, I see you couldn’t afford another boat” Swimming was hell. Atleast Six took a boat with Claire.

“Well after this I might not have any, I still have to repair this historic building. Ha, who am I kidding, I will have enough left”

“Miranda doesn’t have a clear shot” Six says steady aiming at Lloyd.

“Let her go Lloyd, and maybe after this you can stay alive” I walk forward but he pushes the gun harder against her head.

“Now what's the fun in that? Now I do want to finished this quick, isn’t the kids bedtime?”

“We need to get her out” I say

“How about you throw your guns so I don’t give your little friend a new face huh? If your strategy relies on whether or not I’ll kill a child , you need a new stragety. You had no problem doing that right?” his eyes switch towards me. And anger rises. I take out the ammo in the gun throwing it towards him. “Seems like your partners didn’t tel you the whole things huh?”

“We don’t have time for this, let her go!” I scream.

“New deal, Tell him and the little one my favorite story, the one where all those people die, the hero kills and stays alone, at the end, well you know the ending and you tell it so well. Tell it and I will let the girl go”

I sigh looking down on the ground. “She doesn’t have a straight line shot” I groaned hearing six.

“Tell it” Lloyd says, triggering the flare gun to go off next to Clairs face.

“I was 16.” I started “My family and I were on Vacation. Turns out my father was dealing with the wrong people in the agency. He wasn’t an agent but he was getting classified information and when the wrong people noticed he was holding out they came and looked for him.”

“This is my favorite part” Lloyd has a smile plastered on his face. “Go ahead”

“They came in and when my father wouldn’t say anything they killed my mother right infront of my siblings and I. I had a choice then. My brother ran his voice and those people got angry. They told me because I was being so nice they handed me the gun first. Told me to shoot one of my siblings so I can save another.” my eyes burned with the tears threatening to fall. “I had 3 siblings. I had to shoot 2 so me and another sibling could be safe. I had not way out”

“That's a shitty excuse. You killed your brother and sister but when they told you to run you ran without look back. Forgetting the smallest to die. There's no reasoning behind that”

“Is that what Fitzroy had against you?” He whispered

“Okay enough.” We looked up seeing him let go of Claire and she rushed over to us giving Six a hug.

“Take her to a safe place” His voice was harsher than before. “Go, Miranda will be out there to help you” Claire nods

“Be safe”

“It's just another Thursday” Six waves goodbye to Claire as her hand wraps around mine and tugs me away. This is what I came for right? For Claire. She will be safe and sound after we find ourselves far away from this place. I just have to contine running towards the end of the maze and to Dani. Drive away and everything will be over. Relaxation didn’t hit me until Claire was in the car and I saw Suzanne’s crew outside.

“I have to go back,” I told Claire.

“He will be okay” Dani says, grabbing my arm. The cars are coming closer and closer each second. It was bullshit if I started believeing this will have a happy ending. Nothing ever does in my life and I am tired of it.

“I will be okay” I turn to Claire who only offers a smile and thats the only approval I need as I rush back into the maze. When I got closer Suzzene was holding a gun towards six and Lloyd was enjoying a little swim.

“We will blame it all on him.” I go behind her carefully and knock the gun to the ground. “You little-” before she could crawl to get a hold of the gun I grab her wrist tugging it back and knocking her out.

“We need to get out of here before they come and find us” I grab a hold of him and allowed him to lead against me for support.

“Where is Claire?” he groaned.

“Outside getting checked out. Camicheal is still out to get you disk or no disk. Suzanne will probably put in a bad word against me so there is no way of waltzing back into the agency and getting Claire the nice way.”

“I don’t like dancing anyways” he chuckles slightly as we make our way towards the front and into the woods.

“Me neither. We need to get you fixed and make sure Claire is good to go before we try to get her back.”

“And after that?” I turn to look at him not knowing what he means.

“I don’t like to plan ahead”

Chapter 2:

Chapter 2

The last seven days have gone by so slow. I spend my time taking a look at my watch noticing every minute that ticks by. Six is not a bad guy but he is very serious, more than me even, that's what Claire says atleast. I can see how Claire has gotten under his skin. She had a scare two days ago and he was alert and ready to do anything to keep her safe in the hospital. I stayed behind with Victoria. She has been to herself unless Six was involved. What is up with girls and guys way too old for them? At the moment we were outside, Claire was sitting in the shade reading a book while I was laying down on the ground resting my eyes.

“Your supposed to be inside” I groan as I hear his voice and hear claires stop.

“Are you always so serious” I chuckle keeping my eyes closed.

“I am working” he states it like it was all he has known and that was probably right.

“How many suits do you own?” I open one eyes seeing the stare he was give claire with all the questions she was asking.

“Are you sitting on my jacket?” I look over to Claire who just shrugged and takes it out from under her.

“You know, you would look better in dark blue” I sigh standing up. “Don’t you think?” I don’t know who she was asking but as i walked past him handing him his jacket.

“She’s right” It goes well with his eyes. “Claire don’t you dare read ahead” I scream making my way into the house. Six was right about being outside in the open area. Yet I know the girls were feeling frustrated being stuck inside and atleast for a little bit they could be reguler kids and spend some time outside. No danger has happened since the last time someone snuck in but you can never be too cautious.

The afternoon passed by and finally the clock hit 12. Midnight and I couldn’t sleep. I get up from my chair and move to the kitchen to make some tea. Six is sitting on the couch watching the cameras like a hawk. “You want a drink?”

“I don’t drink” he simply responded and I couldn’t help but chuckle. His eyes probably never left the computer screen since the girls went to bed, correction since Clair went to bed. Victoria is still up.

“Tea,” I groaned. “Although the thing you need is a drink” I whisper under my breath and if he heard me, he didn’t respond

“Didn’t see you much of a tea drinker, I have only seen you drink coffee” I hear the stool chair being pulled and his voice getting closer.

“Coffee is just something, tea calms me down” I place a cup infront of him watching his reaction. “I didn’t posion it” I place mine in the counter waiting for it to cool down a little.

“So, Meditation, Tea, have a touch on literature and life. Hippie?” Our eyes meet. I didn’t know what to say. Its not like I didn’t have a remark but looking into his eyes for the very first time like this changed my perspective of him. Of course I don’t trust him but I can form an opinion on him without knowing everything about him. How did he end up in the CIA? He doesn’t say much which is understandable but even the loneliest people need to vent to someone. Wonder why people don’t have even some many up stories about him. He is like a ghost. “Are you trying to read me?” A little smirk form but as quick as it did it disappeared.

I shake my head. “Goodnight Six” I take my cup and headed back into my office. There is someone who will help me out and she owes me. I sat my cup down and pull up my phone. I hear it ring for the longest until a voice answers on the other side.

“Hows it going”

“Sierra Six. I have my thoughts on him.”

“I know you never set ideas on someone but what you see is who he is” I stop a think. Maggie surly knows him, she worked close with Fitz and if he knew anything he would tell her and it goes the same for her. But she is wrong. Eithier she is lying or Fitzroy doesn’t trust her as much as I thought he did. Or maybe she doesn’t trust me as much as I thought.

“Okay” Before I could hang up she speaks again.

“Courtland Gentry. Goodnight Sierra Eight” My hand couldn’t move to set the phone down. The shock of not hearing his real name but of being called that again. Why? Another thing I hated.

“Hey, where is Six?” I look up seeing Victoria in her nightgown “He isn’t in the living room” I wanted to tell her to go to bed but I understand she is already 18 and doesn’t need me to tell her what to do.

“Let me check” I open my laptop and look at the cameras until I find him walking upstairs making his rounds. “He's making his rounds by the library” A smile appears on her face and she takes off. I finish my tea and I get up to leave towards the kitchen and am caught off guard when Six blocks my view.

“Liar” I sigh, holding on to my chest. “And Incognizant” I look up to him. Courtland. Nothing really special in his name. An English word usually used for a girl. I’ve heard of Cortland, but that was not him. It was like puppet work, he took a step forward and I took a step back. He had pretty features. I can’t do this to myself. Thankfully I started thinking clearly when he shut the door causing my cup to fall and break.

“I was just off for a moment” I scoffed and reached for the broom to pick up my mess but he caught my hand.

“Your eyes look at me differently” I scrunch my nose feeling uneasy. He stared at me like I was the stranger here.

“I have never looked at you like I knew you” Something flicker through his eyes. I slipped my wrist away only to have him grab a hold of it again and pull me closer. My head got dizzy and my body wanted to just let him take hold of me. His smell was everywher and it filled my brain and it only allowed me to focus on his face so close to mine.

“After a couple days, you know me better than anyone” My eyes seal close as his nose traces my jaw. He hoovers and moves down my neck

“Its my job to know who am working with” I tried to fight his hold on my wrist but I knew I was just kidding myself. If I wanted I could have him on the floor in a second, in any position I wanted.

“You know that is not want I was talking about” he grabs a hold of my jaw making my eyes open and focus on his. His attitude changed, he was playful and calm just a second ago and now I can’t see any emotion in his eyes. “I am not one to do this.” He moves closer with every word he lets out and I can’t move and inch. “You intrigue me and trust me when I say that no one has before. And I know this isn’t right but goddamn at this point it feels like the only right thing to do is kiss you”

So kiss me. My body and hands were on him but our lips didn’t touch. “You’re right” I whisper. Its like I was burning inside and the only thing that could put me out was water. But I didn’t want to be put out, I wanted to burn even more. In any way I could have him. I reach out to his wrist, jerking him to the wall and opening the door.

“He wasn;t in the library” Victoria says standing with her arms crossed right infront of me. Her eyes checked me out like, she knows I was lying but I know she wouldn’t understand why, and before you think about it no, it wasn’t because I was Six for myself.

“Oh” I look around acting like I was thinking. “ Maybe he moved on to the rest of the house before you got there” I shrug, giving her a smile. I reach back, grabbing the door knob and closing it behind me.

“Right,” she say annoyed. I thought it was the last of the words from her but she stood her ground. There was nothing I was scared of. If I died, so be it. If they killed any innocent person in the world who wasn’t the two girls I could live with that. Hell if I had to kill them I would. But what came out of her mouth wasn’t fear, far worse, it was worry. Fear is upon yourself but worry is upon that one person that you can’t help. “He said you would never lie to your girls”

I turn around and look back with no emotion. “He was right” I was looking for any sign of her giving anything away. I never reveal anything but to one person. She promised.

“Guess I'm not part of those girls.” I think her lips said goodnight. My brain was on fire. I walk back inside grabbing my phone and placing it in my pocket.

My mind was doing laps. Figuring out what Victoria knew. “What's got you twisted” This is the last thing I need. I look up from staring at the table to the door frame where Court stood. I forgot he was still here.

“You do” I get up from my chair walking towards the door to get as far away from him as possible. Every step felt like I would fall onto my knees. The feelings when he gets too close and help me god it didn’t help that he now put his arm inbetween me and freedom.

“Well let me fix that” He stood up straight taken a step towards me and one thing I won’t do is ever take a step back for someone. But no matter what kind of feelings I have towards him that make my mind disappear. My whole body feel tingly and my heart beat faster and faster every time his eyes are on mine, I have to ignore it. Before he had a chance to touch me I moved away walking out the door. I didn’t have time for this. I pull out my phone and dailed the only person who could give me answers.

“Eight”

“Fitzroy” I say stern hoping his smirk or smile will disappear. “I have something to pick with you” I sat down on the kitchen stool making sure no one was around. “And am guessing you know by the silence in your voice” I chuckle, not an amusing one.

“Listen”

“No, I have done enough listening. I took this because it was you. And out of all people I would have thought you would understand. I confined in you, and no reason behind it will be good enough”

“She didn’t trust you!” he cuts me off making my blood boil a little hotter than it already was

“She doesn’t get a choice! Her life's in jeopardy. Does she really think she has a say?”

“Victoria is 18” I shook my head in disbelief. “She's an adult”

“Then I guess she can take care of herself. You had no right, I chose to trust you and that was bad on my end.”

“What are you going to do leave?”

“As a matter of fact yes I am. And after I end this call you won’t have a way to find me.”

“You can’t just leave, you made a promise to my girls”

“YOU MADE A PROMISE TO ME! I don’t take those lightly. Your girls will be safe with Six.”

“You can’t leave, you won’t leave, you care to much for the girls” deep down I know he was right. I cared for them. No matter which way I put it, It wasn’t the girls fault. But I just couldn’t stay.

“You know I cared about my girls more than anything”

“They are Dead!” I always had a short temper. Whenever I was young I would find the closes thing and try to match in with my fist. It hurt like hell but it was distracting from the pain in my heart.

Smashing the phone to the floor I took off to my office. I feel someone staring at me as I walk past the living room. Six was probably looking at the security cameras like always. Thankfully the sound was filtered. I close the door quietly and looked around. This has been my home for almost 4 years. Going back and forth everywhere but when I came back here it was a relief to me. I went to the computer and erased what I needed. My life was always a risk to I only kept what I knew would not come back a bite me. Every writing and note and picture in this room was unimportant and not useful to track me. Like a disposal camera, you take memories but at the end of the day if it get lost or trashed it won’t matter because those memories are engraved in your brain. I grab my backpack and headed out the door. I took a look at my watch and seen it just hit 4. It should be morning soon and I can’t risk anyone seeing me, for the safety of the girls. “Where are you going” Six walks from around the corner stopping as I got to the back door.

“I have a couple errands to run. I will be in a couple hours” You would think it would feel so bad to lie so well. Things will come out of my mouth and I would not evaluate them until I think of what I said later on. Maybe it's because I believed them too.

“Fitzroy didn’t say anything-'' He stopped when I placed my hand on both his cheeks. I felt a little tug in my lips. But of course disappointment made it go away.

“It was a last minute thing. I have news on Lloyd. I will explain it when I come back” With that I move out the door and across the hills until I reach my getaway. I didn’t know where I was going after getting on the train. I knew that the sun was coming back up when I moved out on some random street. I reach a telephone and dial Maggie’s number. “Maggie you know I respect you but you had no right. They only reason I am on the phone right now is because of the respect I still have for you, but this is the last time you will hear from me.” Before she could say anything I hung up. Now to get back on the train, on a plane and to walk a couple miles.
