Odette Parker: My True Self

Chapter 54: Please excuse my mental breakdown.

Calling Bill and letting him know that I not only found my birth mother but she was on her way to him and the two need to dip out for a weekend was a fun conversation. I paid another year on my storage place in London since that is where we are heading after I take care of Fitz. I snapped all of our stuff to the storage unit and will snap the bikes after we blink. There are some perks to this Goddess shit after all.

I dressed in all black before riding over to the hotel Fitz was staying at. I asked the desk attendant to let him know his son's girl friend was here and that we're ready for dinner. He showed up shadowed by 3 men. I smiled as they walked towards me.

Dets: "Gentlemen."

I nod my head as I turn around and walk out the door. I walk back in to the garage and look back at them.

Dets: "If you want me or the soldier I suggest you follow me."

I hop on my bike and wait for them to follow. I ride out to the field I've used so many times before. As I dismount from my bike I hear a gun shot go off. Ducking out of instinct i snap my head around and see Fitz holding a gun up. His eyes are wide as I see the bullet on the ground. I smile.

Dets: "Did I forget to mention that I am a Goddess Fitz? Mortal weapons no longer hurt me."

I snap my dagger to myself and blink behind each of his men, slitting their throats, before I walk up to him slowly. The blood dripping from my dagger and the fear in his eyes is intoxicating.

Dets: "Just so you know, I found Sarah in Nevada. I have leaked every base location I have been able to find to the proper authorities with instruction on how to hack your network to find anymore. Hydra is finished. Do you have any last words?"

Fitz: "Hail Hydra."

Dets: "Well that is anti-climatic."

I snap my wrist and set my dagger free. It flies straight into his neck. I snap my Katana to myself as I walk towards him.

Dets: "I have no idea who else you included in your mad scientist experiments but I will take no chances."

I pull my dagger from his neck and swing. I do the same to his 3 friends just in case. I grab the lighter from my back pocket and set each one ablaze. I make sure the fire never hurts the grass below. Once the bodies are burned I ask the earth to help me. One by one the bodies are swallowed and buried in the field.

When I get back to the hotel room I jump in the shower. Cleaning myself off and relaxing for the first time in lord knows how long. Two more names to go. Church and Rumlow. Then we're done. My family is safe, I am finally free. At that point we can begin to work on a plan to bring Bucky back into the world.

I was sitting at the table tacking Church's movements when Bucky walked in. I threw myself a small victory party while I waited for him to come back. I had consumed copious amounts of alcohol combined with the pills and felt like I was floating on air. The comparison caused me to laugh out loud because I could literally float on air.

Bucky: "Someone had a party."

I turn around and smile at him. He has a hat on and a bandanna covering his face. Seeing him like that caused me to laugh a little more until I realized why. His illusion. I wave my hand and his arm goes back to a flesh illusion.

Bucky: "Want to tell me what happened?"

He takes his hat off and removes the bandanna. There is the face I love.

Dets: "Well Fitz all but pissed his pants after he tried to shoot me and realized it wouldn't work. His last words were Hail Hydra like a fucking sheep. LIL O has eyes on Church and we are tracking several men that match Rumlow's measurements. After this, we are done. We can work on getting you back to your life. I can be alive again, that will be weird. Not having to hide my face, or your beautiful face from the world. Can you imagine? Being free?"
