After leaving the mall, we started to head back to the tower. Happy, the driver, helped us with our bags. Wanda and Nat both got simple silk masks, which I argued about. But they ended up telling me that it's part of the night. I have a sneaking suspicion that they are pulling a Selena Gomez Cinderella Story on me. Like how she went to the black and white ball in red sort of thing. I watched Wanda's eyes avert away from me. Yup. Suspicious.

"We have a problem." Happy, the driver, announced. I sat up straight as did the girls. Peter looked around on alert. "Someone has been following us for a few miles. White Range Rover, two cars back." I glanced back and just like he said, the white vehicle was trying to be discreet. My eyebrows furrowed. Was this a coincidence?

"Pull over at that coffee shop." I told him. I was ready to test my own theory. Nat looked at me like I was stupid.

"What are you doing?" She demanded. Wanda knew though.

"She thinks they are after her. But how would they know you were in Tony's limo? You're not an Avenger, and no one has posted photos of you with us." Wanda asked. I looked at her. Then glanced down at my arm. Bucky told me it wasn't a scar from a car accident.

Flashback-

"I was in a car accident when I was 13." I told him. He turned my wrist around, staring at the scar intensely. Like he was analyzing it.

"That's not a scar from a car accident." He told me, sitting up. I sat up with him.

"What do you mean? Yes it is." I told him, pulling my wrist from his grip.

"No it's not. It looks like someone cut your wrist open with a knife on purpose." I looked at him as I stood up. I looked down at the scar and traced it. The long faded white line was still a bump in my skin. It was pretty straight, was he right? Did someone cut me? No. I was in an accident.

End of Flashback.

The man in my dream. Was he Hydra?

"Nat, give me your knife." I told her. She hesitated before handing it to me. I swallowed as I pressed the blade to the start of my scar and sliced my arm open. Peter squeaked at my bold move. But Wanda knew what my thoughts were. Nat was just watching intensely. Blood pooled at the cut, as I gave the knife back to Nat and dug two fingers and my thumb into the wound and found what I was looking for. "I was being tracked." I announced, holding the blinking bloody tech that was in my arm for so many years. "8 years... They could of came for me this whole time.... Why now?" I asked myself.

I looked up to see Wanda and Nat staring at the tech in my hand. It was small, almost like some nanotech that Stark had made. Peter reached over and grabbed it, ignoring my blood smearing his fingers. Wanda took a scarf and moved to sit next to me, grabbing my arm and wrapping it around it tightly, stopping the blood from oozing out.

"This is something I've seen before. I think Mr. Stark made this..." He trailed off, turning the piece over and spotting the small TS on the side. "How did this get in your arm?" He questioned, looking up at me.

"I was in a car accident years ago and everything was dark, I don't remember much of it. Just waking up a week later with this scar." Nat stared at me. "You don't think..." I trailed off, making eye contact with Natasha.

"That Hydra caused your car accident? Yeah I think so." Nat agreed. I took a shaky breath.

"Pull over." I demanded. Happy glanced to Nat who shook her head no. "I said. Pull. Over." I told him. He kept going. "I heard a rumor.." I started, Happy looked strained, "That you pulled over. NOW." I finished quickly before Nat or Wanda could jump in. Peter just looked amazed. He had never seen my power used. Happy pulled over instantly. I jumped out the door and threw up on the side of the road.

The information that Hydra had caused my mothers death was too much for me to handle. Wanda got out and pulled my hair to the side, Nat and Peter stood in front of us, waiting for Hydra to pull up, which they did. Gunfire rained in on us, which Wanda quickly redirected with her red voodoo magic.

I wiped my chin and looked over at the 4 Hydra agents. They made the worse mistake coming to me now. I grabbed the closes one and leaned into their ear.

"I heard a rumor..." I whispered, his eyes turned white with anticipation of my words, "That I blew your mind." I finished, releasing him as I took a step back and watched as his head literally exploded in front of me. Blood splattered on me.

"Holy Shit." I heard Peter mutter in shock. I was pissed. The feeling of revenge churning in the pits of my stomach. Or maybe it was the cheese steak I had at the mall that was still coming up. The three agents stared at me shocked, apparently they weren't informed of my power. Nat jumped forward and grabbed one, flipping them and landing a punch to knock her out. Wanda had restrained another. That left one. Peter wasn't jumping in, so I stepped forward, grabbing their collar of their shirt.

"Ella...Don't kill them...You don't want to have another on you." Wanda told me carefully. I shook my head.

"I already have enough kills under my belt. I told you guys, I'm no hero." I told her as I placed my hand on the agents cheek, creating that connection with my thoughts. Thinking about the car accident, the pain of losing my mother, then the pain of my step father taking advantage of me when I was pure. The pain of being stabbed and cut repeatedly at Hydra, the many injections I endured. I could hear the person screaming in pain. I felt eyes on me. They were watching me kill this person with just the pain I've gone through. The body went limp in my hands as I opened my eyes. I don't know if they were dead or not. But they were at least passed out.

I felt the tears on my cheek when I came back to reality. Peter put his hand on my shoulder carefully. Probably afraid to endure whatever that other guy did. He wrapped an arm around my waist and helped me back into the car as Wanda and Nat joined. With that, Happy drove back to the tower in silence. Peter kept his arm around me, trying to comfort me the best a kid could. Wanda was trying to avoid eye contact. She probably saw what I used on that man. The events I've suffered through.

"You're a Hero, Ella." I heard Wanda speak up. I snapped my gaze to hers. "You have gone through what most Hero's go through. You're strong, so strong. I am so sorry that you have gone through all of that." She told me, tears breaking her eyes. I sent her a small smile in appreciation. She sent one right back.

Once we got to the Tower, Bucky, Steve, Tony and a few others met us at the living room. Even my dad was there. He looked shocked at my appearance. As did the rest, but Bucky walked over to me and examined me.

"Was there a big sale or something?" Tony remarked. I looked over at him and then looked up at Bucky.

"I had a tracker in my arm. Hydra was following us." I moved my gaze to my dad who was trying to keep his distance for my well being. "Hydra caused Mom's death." I told him. His eyes widened in shock, then sadness.

"Lets get you cleaned up." Bucky whispered, wrapping his arm around me carefully, unsure if I was actually injured other than my arm. Bruce followed us so he could stitch me up.
