The Secret Sister

Chapter 38:Nightmare

The group got back together and headed back to the hotel for the night, everyone had enough excitment for one day.  Once I got back to my hotel room I was right Peter was standing, waiting for me to come in "What" I said closing the door and crossing my arms

"I saved your ass" he said smiling

"God" I said putting my hand on my head and walked over to the bed where I flopped down laying on the bed "You know why I didn't save myself and the others" I gave him a look that shows I was tired and didn't want to be here

"Hey don't be mad at me Tony is the one who said you had to come with me" he said putting his hands in the air in defense

"I know, I know" I said making a gun with my fingers and pretending to put the gun away

"Okay goodnight" he said leaving my room

"Night" I called back while sitting up and looking around the room looking for Steve but he wasn't here.  Right now I just want Steve to lay in bed with me and cuddle but hes back in New York and I'm here in DC all alone and hes alone, actually he's probably with Sharon.  But not that it matters because I left him with the choice to choose what he wants to do with his life and I'm going to be gone for another seven days so I won't know his answer anytime soon

I changed my clothes and layed down on the bed trying to fall asleep but I couldn't so I called Steve hoping he would answer "Hey" he said his voice all groggy and tired

"Hey did I wake you?" I asked nervously if he was sleeping I'll let him be

"No your fine" he said which caused me to smile

"Whats up babe?" he asked through the phone. He called me babe maybe that gives me hope but it's probably because he's tired and not in his right mind

"I miss you" I said trying to hid my breaking voice, I don't like being away from the people I love because it reminds me of my past and how alone I was back then

"You'll be back home soon and then I wil hug you forever" he said which made me smile

"Really?" I asked for clarification

"Yes" he said and I could tell he was smiling too

"Okay" I said feeling my eyelids getting heavy by just talking to Steve "I'm falling asleep so lets get to bed and I'll talk to you tomorrow" I said yawning

"Okay you'll be okay" he said right before we hung up the phone 

I placed my phone on the nightstand and rolled over closing my eyes trying to get through this night, all I wanted was to make it through this trip and go home to the love of my life

I was sleeping when the first time in a long time I had a nightmare about the Red Room but this time it was different, all the Avengers were there and looking at me like I was a monster.  No this can't be happening

"Guys" I said taking a step back and they took a step forward

"You are a traitor" Tony said which shocked me

"What?" I asked confused the word getting stuck in my throat

"I trusted you" Steve stepped closer saying this

"You guys--" but I was cut off

"Don't you play mind games and destroy us" Nat said taking out her weapon and coming closer to me

"No" I said backing up until my back hit the mirror, we were in the ballet room.  "No you guys its me Tori" I had tears falling down my face

"Our Tori is dead" Tony said raising his hand and his repulser was warming up to shoot at something or should I say someone

"No" I screamed putting my hands over my ears and now I could hear the words 'useless' and 'weak' 'disappointment' the Red Room words echoing in my head

"No, no, no, no, no" I was screaming

I was woken up by someone shaking me "No" I screamed one more time repulser blasts coming out of my ring and hitting every object in the room.  Sitting infront of me was Peter

"Hey its me your okay" he said lightly shaking me trying to get me to snap out of the nightmare I just had

"Peter" I said his name cracking as I said it

Peter pulled me into a hug and I cried into him, Peter shouldn't be doing this.  I should never have left New York, I should have fought Tony about sending me here "Peter I'm okay go to bed" I said pulling away after a few minutes

"No you need someone" he said not moving

"Peter please" I said wiping the tears from my face

"Okay" he said getting up and leaving the room

I pulled my knees to my chest and put my head on my knees and cried, I just want Steve right now.  I looked at the clock and it was 4:30 I wasn't tired anymore

"Oh Steve" I said laying back down closing my eyes hoping I could at least get a few more hours of sleep but it wasn't working, "I'm going for a run" I said getting up and throwing on some running cloths

I ran out of the hotel to burn off some steam, I ran around the monument pond for hours.  The sun was slowly coming up and I kept running, I ran until I couldn't feel my legs and then I ran back to the hotel

I had another successful day touring the city with the kids Peter had to fix a few mistakes I told and he made me look like I didn't know what I was doing but to be honest I didn't, I was just trying to make it through this trip alive along with all these kids
