The cheater

The Present

This may sound like I have a problem, and in all honesty, I think I do but that's not the topic of discussion right now... it's much worse! A lot of people say nothing good ever comes out of truth or dare, especially when playing with a group of drunk superheroes and government agents who are all hiding at least 1 thing from at least 1 other person in the room. I can now confirm that is a fact...

Tony: "what do you mean you slept with Pietro!?" shouting at me across the room

Bruce: "Steve!? Nat why would you possibly want to kiss Steve!?" getting annoyed

Steve: "Bucky my head did not look too small for my body!" chasing bucky with magnets

Bucky: "Hey!? Hey!? Get the magnets away from me!!" getting chased by steve

Nat: "I can't believe Thor got stabbed by Loki!" starting to laugh with Loki

"ok I'm done"

Like I said: not the best move. I grab a bottle of cheap liquor from behind the bar and make my way up to the roof. I sit on the edge of the building with my legs dangling over the side, again probably not the best idea considering I was planning to get hammered and one wrong move could send me plummeting 3 stories, but then again it's not like it could kill me or anything.

I don't actually know how long I was up there, it was surprisingly relaxing being away from the team and the fighting everything was always so much hassle and there was always so much drama going on it was like living with a bunch of teenage girls all on their periods. 

Deciding to get a better look at the stars I laid down with one leg off the side of the building and the other clung to the ledge making sure I don't fall. I heard the door to the roof open and just assumed it was wind pulling it open so I stayed facing up at the sky.

"y'know drinking while taking the pills you've been prescribed by Bruce could kill you"

I let out a deep sigh and sat up to face tony sluggishly walking over to me 

"Good thing I'm not taking them then"

"why not?"

He says while taking a seat next to me.

"Because..."

I turn around so my feet are dangling over the edge again.

"Because?"

"Because I'm still not ready to accept that I need help"

"well hurry up and just accept it because those pills will help you"

"Why are you pushing me to take them so much?"

"Because..."

"Because?"

"Because I don't want life to get too much for you one day...you have this amazing gift and like I've said before it seems like every chance you get, you try to throw it away, and you may be able to survive a lot of injuries others wouldn't but there are limits to your survival which we came very close to a few weeks ago when you jumped off the building..."

"I'll be fine...you know me. I don't give up and I wouldn't leave you here alone with these idiots"

I swivel myself round and stand up to walk away but stumble when I take my first step
