Buried Secrets

chapter 13

Finally, I got this posted its short sorry I just can't think of what to write anymore idk- Avengersfan0987

Avery's pov

I slip off my hoodie and sit on the bed so Bruce can have a look at my wounds. I'm hoping he doesn't point out my self-harm scars. It's a hard battle to fight.

"Is it alright if you pull up your top so I can check your stomach?" Bruce says.

"Yeah that's alright," I say pulling up my top and tucking it under my bra.

Bruce immediately points out the bandages that are there from when I cleaned myself.

"What happened," he asks.

I fall silent not wanting to tell him anything. 

“It's alright you can tell anyone when you're ready,” Bruce says.

I give him a grateful glance. He checks me over then we are done. Bruce takes me to the living room where everyone is sitting. I feel a wave of anxiety wash over me but I hide it easily. They are never going to trust me. Who would after all the things I've done?

"Hey Avery, would you like some food?" Nat asks.

I think for a second it would be nice to have a decent meal but how can I trust them they could poison the food. What if they harvested my organs oh shit what if they did. No, they wouldn't do that, would they?. 

"No- no thank you" I end up saying but my tummy gives me away.

"Traitor" I mumble.

"It's ok we aren't going to poison it," Tony says.

"Or harvest my organs?" I say.

Tony laughs then notices my serious face.

"Wait, you're serious? Of course not"

I give him a sceptical look. Still not trusting anyone in this room. 

"You know you can trust us," Nat says

I narrow my eyes reading her. I give in.

"Fine" I sigh.

I walk over to the counter, sitting down I put my face in the cup of my hands. Sighing I look up meeting the gaze of my sister. I quickly look away. She passes me a sandwich. I stare at it. It looks so good. I take a small bite then another, the food quenches the hunger in my stomach. I'm taking a sip of water when Tony yells that a hydra base blew up. I choke on my drink which catches everyone's attention.

"That's my doing" I smirk.

"How," Rhode asks.

"Self-destruction button nearly died doing it," I reply, shrugging.

I take a last bite of the sandwich then stand up. My eyes dart to Thor who is smirking at me. I raise an eyebrow at him.

"I like this one," he simply says.

I'm not happy with my writing lol like I said my mental health is shit it makes me write poorly oh well
