Killer Instinct

Injury

Third Person

Lilly looked at the door as it opened. Lilly pushed Ariel out to the balcony forgetting about lacey.

Ariel was still very confused how lilly knew lacey but followed Lilly's demands. She climbed up tot he roof and stayed there.

Lilly turned back around to see Thomas an Dylan looking at her. She mailed innocently. "Why are you hands bloody? And why is Lacey Henderson laying on our floors?" Thomas asked.

Lilly chuckled nervously then bit her lip. "She uhhhh. She was a- umm. She was a black widow like me. And she kinda attacked us"

Thomas looked at her. "That's not her blood nor yours is it?" She nodded at his question and he raced out to the balcony to see Ariel leaning over the edge of the roof.

"Get down here Ariel!"

"No!!"

Ariel and Lilly sat on the bed as Dylan tied Lacey's unconscious body up to a chair. "How did you do this to her?" Thomas asked.

"Tranquilizer" Lilly answered. "And how did you get it?" Thomas asked getting right up in her face. She tiled her head as Dylan and Ariel watched.

"I stole it" Lilly muttered out looking away. Ariel looked at her. A lot of lies have came out of Lilly's mouth the past few months.

Ariel is starting to question her trust. Like she always does.

"You told me Clint gave it to you" Ariel said. Lilly looked at the ground.  "I lied" She muttered.

Dylan looked at Ariel's wounds and started cleaning them. "So, lacey did this?" Dylan asked. Ariel looked down at him and was about to reply but Lilly cut her off.

"Her names Sage. Not Lacey" they looked at her confused.

"How'd you know?" Thomas asked. "She was in the red room. She was in my Ballet and violin lessons. I went on various missions with her. She's the Emerald Widow" Lilly explained.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ariel asked. Lilly finally looked at her. "I-i-i didn't want to worry you anymore. You always fix my problems. I wanted to fix it myself" Lilly explained again.

Ariel sat up and walked outside. Thomas followed her. "you know she was just trying to he-" Ariel cut him off.

"Help?! Ever since she got here she's been lying to me! Over and over! She's supposed to trust me! She's supposed to tell me everything!" Ariel yelled out.

Lilly looked at her hands as she saw Ariel arguing with Thomas. Dylan sat beside her, holding her hand. She would've blushed but something in her suddenly shut off the stupid 'crush'.

She shifted her eyes to Sage who was still tied up. "Please don't tell Steve. Or anyone. They'll be angry and disappointed and I really feel connected ya know? I finally feel like I can settle down"

Dylan squeezed her hand as they heard Ariel full on yell at Thomas. Lilly started to whimper.

"She's like my little sister even though she's older than me! She's gullible! She's soft! She's a butterfly and I'm the fucking spider that Hunts their fucking prey!" Ariel yelled at thomas.

Tears were in her eyes and she felt weak that she was so stupid to cry infront of a boy!

Thomas just hugged her. She had no choice but to hug back.

"Me and Dyl will protect the both of you. Your not alone Ari"

After sending the girls to sleep and Sitting Sage in a closet, the boys strode down the hall. They reached Steve's room and knocked.

Steve answered it and gave them a confused look.

"It's the girls"

~

Thomas felt a weight lifted off his shoulders while Dylan felt like the world was crumbling on his.

"You ok dyl?" Thomas asked, holding Dylan's face In his hands. He and Dylan had suddenly flushed back on with emotion and love.

Ever since the girls came into their lives they've been distanced, but now their closer than ever.

It was cute.

"I just feel guilty" Dylan admit. Thomas hugs his boyfriend. He pulled away slightly and kissed him.

Dylan smiled into the kiss.

Steve watched from his room, smiling at the two gays. It was cringy watching the two 'flirt' before becoming boyfriends.

Now it's adorable.

Ariel sat in the infirmary as she watched the Screen. The avengers were with her while Lilly was being questioned about Sage or Lacey.

She was bitter at the boys but

"How long have you known her?" The man asked. "8 years" Lilly answered. The man pushed up his glasses.

Lilly shuffled her nose up to try move her own glasses. "What's her real name?" The man asked. He seemed sketchy to some avengers.

"Sage Wills" Lilly answered. Her eyes never left the camera that Ariel and the avengers watched from. It was a normal stare. It felt chilling.

Her eyes never left it's lense. "What Widow was she? Βιολέτα?"  Finally Lilly's eyes snapped towards him. Her normal nice social deminor turned cold. 'Violet'

Ariel's breath hitches. She knew the Greek language he was speaking but she didn't understand him. Lilly took the language classes for the talk.

She only took them for Lilly.

"How do you know about the widows? There's only black widows" her voice was laced Venom that not even Ariel has ever heard.

It's like a sudden switch went off in her head.

Ariel then realized what happened. "We need to get her out of there" She yelled. "Why?" Sam asked. Bucky then had a look of realization hit his face.

"She's got trigger words. Just like me" He mumbled and raced off, likely to Lilly's questioning room.

Ariel followed, with Pietro, Wanda, Sam and Steve. Natasha leaned into the screen. "Σκοτώνω. παραφροσύνη. λουλούδι. Φροντίδα. Ανοιξη. Φεγγάρι"

'Kill. madness. flower. Care. Spring. Moon'

The avengers gasp as Lilly snapped up suddenly. The man gave her a gun and spoke in a low hushed tone.

Her face trained emotion as she looked at the camera and pointed the gun straight and shot the Security cameras.

Each and everyone.

Then Natasha noticed something. Sage's camera's also went down one minute after Lilly's.

"They're going for Sage"
