The Light in the Darkness

21: Sick

A/N if you don't like puking this may not be the one for you or you may want to skip
Some parts but other than that no warnings

I was sitting in the dark cold lifeless room. A small tray of slop in the corner. I was laying in the corner trying to get enough strength to eat. I pulled myself up and reached out to the tray. All I could feel was pain. Real pain. The worst pain you could imagine.

They had just injected something into me and it burned. It was unbearable. My body wanted to pass out but my mind didn't let it. My cry's were heard from all around the base.

"Jack. My baby." My dad entered the room worried. He sat down next to me and held me in his arms. "I'm so sorry sweets. I will get you out of here. I promise. For your mother." I looked up at him tears stained my face. I rest my head in his chest and let him hold me.

Wait. That's not what happened. He never did that l. Did he? No he wouldn't. He's a monster. My mind is playing tricks on me.

Again, I was sitting in that same dark cold lifeless room. A similar tray of slop in the corner. I was again laying in the corner trying to get enough strength to eat. I had pulled myself up and reached out to the tray. All I could feel was the same torturous pain.

Pierce walked in with his entourage. He sat down in front of me and reached out. He pulled my long hair back and inserted a needle in my neck. Then it went dark.

I woke up in a cool sweat with Carol asleep right by me. I curl into her more and take her hand. I interlock my fingers in hers and listen to her heartbeat. She most likely woke up because of the movement and looks down at me.

"Hey there, You've got some tears there. Bad dream." She asks as she wipes the stray tears away. I just curl into her and she takes yes as her answer. "Was it about the place." She asks trying to get me to open up. I nod. "Ok how bout we read another book and get that off your mind ok. She read another book and not even 3 pages in I was asleep.

I woke up in Carols arms in the halls of the compound. She was walking to the kitchen and bouncing me slightly. I rest my head in the crook of her neck and close my eyes. I had a terrible headache and light and sound was not helping. I also had trouble breathing in my nose. It was like it was plugged.

"Hey. There you two are how are my two favorite blondes." Maria approached. "We're doing great. Right Jack." I moan from the loudness of her voice. "Hey you alright there kiddo." Carols voice more concerned. I shack my head no. She sits me down on the couch and I whine from the sudden bright lights. 

"What hurts babes." Maria asks and I point to my head and my nose. She put the back of her hand on my forehead. "You're burning up. Just lie down and try and rest I'll go see if there's anything we can do." She adds. Carol sits down on the couch and lays my head down in her lap. Maria left the room and went to find someone to help. I all of the sudden felt my stomach hurt and I sat up.

"What's up monkey. What hurts." I point to my stomach and then I feel like I'm gonna puke. " I think I'm gonna get sick." I cry. Whenever I got sick in Hydra I would get a beating. 

"Ok. Let's go to the bathroom, kay." Carol takes me to the closest bathroom and I sit down in front of the toilet. I am crying hysterically, afraid that I would get in trouble and I would have to leave. Carol was rubbing my back and holding my hair so when I would puke my hair wouldn't get in the way.

I started to violently puke and couldn't stop. I could barely get any breaths in between. After about 2 minutes I start gagging but nothing is coming out.

"You're ok. Just breath. I think we may have some medicine coming." Carol spoke softly as I tried to stop gagging. A knock caused my head to throb even more than it was. "Hey I heard my baby wasn't feeling well." Wanda spoke softly. Walking in, she sat down by Carol and to my side and took out a book. I think she was trying to distract me from feeling icky.

After a chapter I started to gag more and the gross liquid came out. I hated it. And it tasted terrible. Wanda grabbed a wash cloth and wet it, wiping my mouth with it and then filled up a cup with water and told me to drink it.

"No. No. I don't want to." I cried. I was petrified of getting even more sick. "Shh it's gonna make you feel better I promise." Carol calmed me. And took the cup from Wanda's hand and moved it towards my mouth. I took a slow sip the refused to take any more. I then started to fall asleep on Carols lap.

Wanda's POV:

I was in a meeting room hanging out and talking with Clint Nat Pietro and Sam when Maria came in and asked if anyone knew how to take care of a sick child. Which obviously Clint did so he told her what to do and I said I would go check on her.

When I walked into the the main room Carol and Jack were nowhere to be found then I heard sobbing on the bathroom and then puking. My poor baby. I grabbed a cup and washcloth after she finishes getting sick and a old toothbrush from the cabinet. I walked in and waved to Carol. I saw Jack with her eyes puffy and red from crying and she started gagging and trying to get more sick but she couldn't.

She had fallen asleep on Carol so we moved her back into the main room and asked Friday to put the room into night mode. The room was dark and she was passed out on the couch. Surprisingly no one entered the room. And she slept for 3 hours before Bucky entered quietly to check on his little buddy.

She woke up and cried in Bucky's lap for a bit before she calmed down and asked for Nat.  Of course she did. I feel like Nat is going to be the cool aunt or the strict mom/older sister. I guess we will have to see.

Wow I'm on a role. I am super bored and it's my sisters birthday today so happy birthday @banananananannannah
