The Secret Sister

Chapter 23:SHIT

Its been a few weeks and I've been locked up in my room working hard with Mason on what he can help me with. I've been late for a week now and I'm thinking its just because I'm stressed. I tied off all loose ends that would come looking for me, I would say Tony and Steve were the hardest. I couldn't do it to Nat because even if I did she would still come looking for me

Everyone else on the Avengers I didn't get to attached to so it wasn't that hard, I just had to use a weakness against them. Clint not being a good enough father to his family, Bruce his anger issues, Bucky the winter soldier, Wanda being a monster, and Peter being dumb and never good enough for Tony

Which I knew non of those were true but they had to believe I was truely betraying them and never going to be my old self again. I only needed to be here for a few more days before Bruce said I could start walking again and moving around like before

He wasn't to happy with me when he did that check up after I lashed out at him about him and the Hulk. But again that was and wasn't my fault, I need to betray everyone I love so they don't look for me

Bruce was told to run some tests on me to make sure I'm really healthy before returning to action. I know I'm fine but I'll let Bruce do the tests because even though he doesn't want to and he probably hates me I'll be out of everyones hair soon enough and then I won't be a problem

I was called down to the lab and I sat letting Bruce take a few X-Rays of my foot and then doing blood work and a brain CT scan. "Well the scans are clear so you have no more injuries and I'll get your blood work back in just a few minutes" he said looking at the computer screen never meeting my eyes

"Thanks Bruce" I said feeling all the shame he is feeling right now. I'm the reason all of a sudden he became self consioucious, I told him he is nothing but a big hidious monster that nobody will ever love or care for. I could see in his eyes in that moment that he knew what I said was true because he had known it for a while and then me saying it confirmed it

"This can't be right" Bruce said taking another vile of my blood and running it again

"What can't be right?" I questioned getting worried

"I'm just double checking something really quickly" he waited for the second pair of results to pop up and his expression didn't change "Okay this might be a problem" he said turning to look at me all the hate leaving his face and a worrying expression taking over its place

"Whats a problem?" I asked waiting for an answer

"So your blood test..." he took a deep breath "I don't know how to say this but I found traces of HcG in your blood. Since, you were part of the red room that rules out pregnancy. Which means you probably have cancer" My face went blank this can't be happening not right now

"SHIT" I said looking away from Bruce quickly. Why do I always have the worst timing

"But don't worry we probably caught it early so I can help treat it and beat this thing" he said putting his hand on my leg

"No Bruce you don't get it I never was steralized" I turned back to face him and his face went blank

"So that means that your--" he couldn't finish the sentence and my mind was still wrapping around the fact that inside of me I am growing a little human

"Pregnant" I breathed out quietly

"Is it Steve's?" he asked snapping me out of my quick daze

"No its fucking yours. Of course its Steves" I snapped at him

"Okay well I'll go get him" Bruce turned around but I grabbed his arm

"No you can't, you can't tell anybody about this and I mean no one. Not Tony, or Nat, or Steve" I said pleading with him "This is our little secret" I looked at him tears filling my eyes for the first time in weeks

"Why?" he asked confused by my sudden outburst

"Bruce if you want to prove me wrong on what I said to you a few weeks ago I need you to trust me and not tell a single soul. My life and the baby's depends on it" I don't know why I'm trying to convince Bruce he can tell Tony if he wants, Bruce can tell anybody he damn pleases but thats not sitting well with me right now

"And how would I prove I'm not a monster by keeping a secret from the team?" he asked looking me directly in the eyes, confusion flashing all over his body

"If you keep this child a secret it will prove that the rage inside of you can be tamed and that you care for people and will protect them in a life and death situation" I looked up into his eyes saying everything. I meant every word I just said, this really is life or death for me and my child. There are bigger problems in this world than anyone can fight with me, I need to go this one alone. "Please" I begged putting my hands on my stomach thinking about all that could go wrong if Bruce tells anybody that I'm pregnant

I will protect this child with my life and I won't depend on anyone else to help me because at this point I don't know who I can and can't trust anymore but I do know one thing and nothing will stop me this time. I need to leave this place and get as far away as I can and I need to do it tonight
