𝔊hapter 𝟜

It's been at least 2 days since the incident with Bucky and no one has come to check on since. Most likely they have forgotten about you. You formed a gateway to the kitchen, similar to what Doctor Strange does but just looks different and is opened differently. You silently watched Clint make himself a sandwich then places it on the island table and looks through the fridge for a water bottle. You took this chance to crawl out of the gateway and grab his sandwich then crawled back in and the gateway closed. You chuckled to yourself and took a bite of the sandwich and just read books all day.

✪✪✪✪

It didn't take too long for someone knocking on your door. Your heart dropped. Did they find out that you've been stealing food from them? It sure took a while. You got up from your bed and carefully opened the door. "Hello Nat, I thought the others wouldn't allow you to see me" you then left your door wide open to see a bunch of books piled everywhere except your desk and your bed.

"I couldn't stop thinking about what I saw and I'll only get answers from you" Nat crossed her arms and leaned against your doorway. "I wish I could but you'd never believe what I'll say and you'll just think that I'm trying to make you feel guilty. Plus you don't trust me" you smiled as if it wasn't hurting your feelings. "This is an exception because I need to know if you're really the monster you seem" you wrinkled your nose at that word. You hated people calling you such a word. "Just get in here before I leave you to answer those memories you saw" you growled.

Nat walked in and you closed the door and sat on your bed while Nat pulled up a chair and sat on it. Of course you had to move your books out of the way. "First question" you rolled your eyes at Nat for being straightforward with you. "Who were those kids?" Nat asked the million dollar question already. "Me and my youngest sister" you plainly said.

"And where is she now? I'd assume with your scared mother". You bared your teeth at Nat. "I have you know that my mother isn't the very best and fyi if you feel oh so great now, my youngest sister is dead because of my mom. That's how my ass got captured in the first place for killing my mother" you were officially down with talking with Nat. "Bullshit" Nat snapped at you. You grabbed her wrist and you teleported yourself and her at a graveyard. Nat tackled you down then was about to strike you with her fist until she looked at the grave that was above your head.

"Here lies Hailey [y/l/n], 

xxxx-xxxx, 

January 24th. 

Died protecting her sister in a fight"

The grave said. Nat slowly got off of you and saw a few dead flowers and moved it to see a picture of you and Hailey smiling together holding your ice cream cones. "Never thought I'd see a smile on your face. You seem so grouchy" Nat grabbed the dead flowers. You sat up and slightly chuckled and painfully smiled at the happy memories. "What you saw me turn into Nat...I created that form with my bad memories, I was so furious with the death of my sweet sister that I had created the worst form I have" you grabbed the dead flowers from Nat and carefully stroke them and they slowly started to look lively again and seemed freshly bloomed.

You then placed the flower down on Haileys grave. "Hailey wasn't those spoiled younger siblings or annoying. She was very independent and loved to collect keychains. Sadly I only retrieved one before I was captured" you pulled out a keychain from your pocket and it was a cute small box character that Hailey found in the garbage when hiding from the cops for stealing some boba.

"Ever since my father died, my mother has been blaming me and Hailey for his death so my mom took her anger out on me and I tried to protect Hailey as much as I could but my mom was too strong and the oldest seemed too scared to do anything" your voice nearly cracked from the nervousness of opening up to someone and tears were threatening to come out but you kept blinking a few times so you wouldn't embarrass yourself in front of Nat. "Soon we ran away and lived on the streets, stealing food to survive. Since all my sister could do was change her appearance, she often got sick so I learned to practice with healing the human mind, body, and soul. When we were teenagers, a lonely old woman took us in and allowed us to stay with her. We were able to go to high school but soon the woman fell ill and passed away and gave her inheritance to us since she had no kids of her own.

We managed but soon our mother found us and started to attack us, me having more abilities than Hailey, I protected her but my mother was too powerful and Hailey..." you stopped talking and touched Haileys grave marks and traced them while you slowly started to tear up. "Hailey jumped in front of me to stop the attack from hitting me...I held my sister in my arms and I couldn't heal her wound, it was too big of a wound to heal and I had to watch as my sister slipped away and all she said was that it was ok and smiled like it was nothing...

I couldn't control my powers and they spiraled out of control and I created basically my witch form and forced men to bury her and make a grave for her, it didn't take too long for S.H.I.E.L.D to find me and when they did I had managed to kill my mother" you quickly wiped your tears away.

Nat stayed quiet for a while. "I see why you hate heroes so much, because no one was there to save you or your sister. I apologize on behalf of the Avengers for not saving you both. I see now that you were never treated right and were treated like a monster. I can tell those S.H.I.E.L.D agents made you feel miserable with that collar of yours, you didn't look too good when I woke up" Nat chuckled. You smiled. Someone was finally listening.

✪✪✪✪

You and Nat returned back to the tower but you couldn't go back to your room since the collar was draining most of your powers. Everyone stared at you and Nat for a moment then got ready to fight and Tony held onto the pen that could activate the shock. "Stand down," Nat ordered firmly. "She brainwashed Nat" Clint got ready to fire his arrow. "Nat, I need you to cover your ears and stand 6ft away from me" you explained carefully to her. "What? Why?" you growled in annoyance. "Nat, just do it" Nat listened and backed away from you. You then put a barrier up between you and the Avengers and they all fired at you. Your barrier held them off until Tony clicked the pen. Your barrier went away and a high voltage was sent to you and you fell on the floor and started screaming. Everyone covered their ears from starting to feel pain from the screaming and some class broke. You clenched onto the couch and you felt yourself slipping. Tony clicked the pen and the pain stopped and you slumped down on the ground and puffed. Nat came to you. "Holy shit, this thing is much worse" Nat tried to take it off but you stopped her. "Don't, the same voltage will be sent to you and seeing as you're not a mutant...you could die" you managed to speak between your breathing. "I'm gonna rest now Nat so I expect you to protect me from these stupid boys..." you sounded as if you were slipping away but you were just tired. The collar injected something in your neck and you passed out into Nat's arms.

You woke up to Steve scolding Fury on the phone. Now a headache was threatening to start. You turned to see no one being concerned for you. The muzzle was back on and your hands were cuffed together. You slowly sat up and got out of the bed and dragged yourself to your room. Steve saw you and quickly told Fury that he had to go then ran up to you. "Hey you need to rest, you shouldn't be out of bed" Steve's voice was filled with worry but you kept walking. "I didn't know, I'm sorry" Steve spoke out. You turned to him and wrote in the air and flames floated. "I know" was what you wrote, then the flame disappeared and you walked to the elevator and waited for Steve to join you. He did and the elevator closed and started going up, "Let me take off the muzzle" Steve offered but you nodded your head no. You then wrote in the air again. "Hold onto my arm as if I was being taken to prison" you wrote then the words disappeared and the elevator dinged and opened. Steve did as you said and no one except Tony bothered to look at you. Tony just scoffed then turned to a worried looking Pepper. You went to a lab and brought out some items then tinkered with the cuffs and it broke off then you removed your muzzle. "Those cuffs were a gift from Fury to me and have the same effect with the collar. Try to remove it and it shocks you however this was like built the old way how they use to make it. You can go now, I'm gonna go to my room. Oh and how come you guys came to the tower early?" you asked Steve. "Oh, we were ambushed and had to retreat early, it was a trick" Steve explained. "Of course they'd play that game" you put away the tools. "Wait, have you worked with H.Y.D.R.A before?" Steve asked. "No but my mom was and I was hunting her down, how could I not notice the patterns with H.Y.D.R.A" you laughed a bit. "I think I could use your help [y/n]" Steve smiled and you just stared at him with disbelief.
