Sasha's P.O.V

Wyatt steps through with caution, eyes narrowed.

Camden: Hi......
Wyatt: What's going on here?

Camden takes a deep breath and whistles. Artemis runs in and instantly jumps on Wyatt's legs.

Wyatt: Why hello girlie.

He bends down and notices the little note around her neck. My breath catches as he unfolds it.

Wyatt: Look up? Why-

Cam was on one knee, shaking slightly. He opens the ring box.

Camden: We have been through so much. And I don't want anything to change. I want to go through everything with you, good and bad. I love you more than perfectly popped popcorn, more than chicken nuggets. Will you marry me?

Wyatt was frozen. I roll my eyes and push his shoulder.

Me: Your supposed to say yes.
Wyatt: This boi said he loves me more than chicken nuggets. Chicken NUGGETS! Of course it's a yes!

He tackles him and kisses him. The girls and I awe, giggling softly.

Ryland: I'm so happy for you!

He joins in on the pile hug and I lean on Peter, eyes watering at the cuteness of them. We celebrate and tell stories of our lives.

Wyatt:*drunk* Remember when you were 13 Sassy? Got your first lover boy?
Camden:*slurs* You almost killed him!
Me:*hisses* GUYS!

Peter looks at me as I throw pillows at them. I sigh and rub my arms.

Me: He was most definitely not my lover. Prick was a predator, preying on a 13 year old girl.
Camden: Almost got his dick sliced off when he tried rapi-

I stand and my eyes glow very dimly, causing my power damper to shock me.

Me:*falls down* FUCK!

I groan and the two gay drunks look to have sobered up quite quickly.

Camden: Sasha I-
Me:*glares* Fucking leave it Cam.

I push past them and head to my room, slamming the door. I lean against the door as tears prick my eyes. But I refuse to let them fall. I rub my hand at the light burn. I wasn't supposed to have any of my powers. Was I really dangerous? Could I be putting everyone I love at risk? I start pacing. What if Steve was right? I barley can hold everything together. What if the dampener wasn't on? I could've hurt someone...hurt Peter or Kiara. I sit on the bed and finally let the tears fall.

UnKnown P.O.V

The plan was in motion. A grin forms on my face at the thought of having her in my arms once again. Her body under mine was a delicious thought. I go into my office and read of the plan once more.

Sasha's P.O.V

I avoided everyone for the next two weeks. Opting to hide in the vents or the park. I knew I was worrying everyone, but I wasn't willing to put them in danger. I was in my room, getting dressed since I got out of the shower.

Friday: Boss is calling everyone for a team meeting Miss Romanoff.
Me: Okay Friday. Be there in a sec.

I finish getting dressed in jeans and a tank top, a long sleeved flannel in Spiderman's colors on over top. I put my hair into a high ponytail before walking to the conference room. I pause before heading into the room, noticing everyone's glance to me. I slip into a seat in front, across from Peter.

Who ignores me.

I kind of expected it, but felt it sting all the same.

Tony: As most of us know, Peter's been getting some very strange phone calls.

My head snaps up.

Me: What? Why didn't anyone tell me?!
Peter:*mutters* Haven't been around to tell.

Its pin drop silent. My eyes sting. Tony clears his throat uncomfortably before continuing.

Tony: Uh, and today he received this.

He shows a letter on the screen and I tilt my head at the oddly familiar handwriting.

Clint: It says that Peter needs to show up alone tonight to talk.
Me: He's not going.

I stand and gesture to the letter.

Me: This obviously is a trap.
Steve: We can't be sure.
Tony: I'm not sending him alone.

We start arguing about what to do. Peter stands and slams his hands onto the table.

Peter:*glares* Its not your decision. Its mine.
Me:*incredioulsly* You can't be serious?! Peter this is a suicide!
Peter:*yells* ITS NOT UP TO YOU!
Me:*angrily* THIS COULD BE YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE PARKER!
Peter: How is it any different than what anyone here has done?! What YOU have done?! If I don't show up, who knows what could happen? He could come after someone I care about. And I'm not willing to take that chance.
Me: And if he kills you? What, its over?
Momma: Guys-
Peter: I'm willing to risk that if it means no one else has to!
Tony: Kid-
Me: Peter-!
Peter: NO! You don't get to waltz up in here after abandoning me and think its up to you to control my life! I've had to hold our daughter every night, hearing her cry and wonder when Mommy's coming home! DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT FELT?!
Me: I WAS-
Peter:*laughs mockingly* YOU WERE PROTECTING YOURSELF! YOU CAN SPIN IT HOWEVER YOU LIKE SASHA! BUT YOU ONLY WERE PROTECTING YOURSELF!

He walks to the door, but pauses. And somehow what he says next hurts more than anything has in my life.

Peter: You claim to want to be with me. But you push me away and you can't keep doing that.

He slams the door and I don't even acknowledge the ringing in my ears. I feel hands carefully turn me. Bucky hugs me and I cry into his shoulder.

Me:*wails* He hates me!
Bucky: No doll, he could never hate you.
Momma: Oh baby.

Bucky passes me to Momma and I curl up into her lap. Sobbing my heart out.
