Did You Know

6. Rhodey

You've been held up in the tower for almost a week, deciding upon following Rhodey along whilst he goes to pick up some files for Tony that he asked him to get.

"So are you like his wing man or?"

He looks at you as if your crazy and closes the car door behind him as you both get in

"Just because he designed my suit doesn't mean i'm his wing man besides, i'm way cooler"

He smiles at you and you laugh at him. 

Whilst driving the hour it takes to get to were you were going you couldn't help but think about the girl on the sofa and how she closed the door in your face before you even got a chance to introduce yourself.

"Who's the girl with red hair?"

"Who Natasha?" Rhodey looks confused for a second when you respond by shaking your head.

"She has long red hair and she tied it back in a hairband, yesterday she was watching TV in one of the lounging areas you know, the one that's closed of a little from everything else?"

He pauses for a second as if he doesn't know what to say and looks straight out of the window completely focused on the road.

"It's her isn't it..."

Your mind starts thinking back to her, sat on the couch looking completely exhausted and burdened with grief as you stare down at you hands and frown at the events that followed after.

He again says nothing and just stares out at the road and so you stare out of yours whilst thinking back to what Tony had told you a couple of days ago now. The one everyone had been so secretive about and no one had seen in days.

"Wanda... it's her isn't it?"

The car pulls over into a little gap and he opens his door to get out, you notice that he has stopped at a to get petrol but you look over on the scale that shows how full it is and realise he's still got loads left. You sigh, annoyed, and open your door next to you before getting out and walking around the car to face him.

"I know about my past with her. Tony told me everything.About how i grew up with her brother and her. and how theirs and my parents died from the bombs and hydra and- and how her and her brother moved into the tower but around 3 months ago he died"

You start talking too fast that it's frantic and Rhodey just looks at you with guilt and pity whilst you ramble on. You let out an annoyed sigh and wait for him to say something. You lift your arms up and back down again in defeat. Up until this point it's been easy enough to try and settle back in. You've been content with the amount of information you've been told. But now, already not knowing who you are and trying to figure out parts of yourself when no one will tell you is getting unbearable.

"What is it Rhodey? Because I just found out I was in a coma for 3 and a bit months. I have a whole past I didn't even know existed. Apparently the girl that used to be so close to me lost her brother who was also my best friend and like a brother to me.And that apparently she hates me because she slammed a door in my face. My parents that i don't even remember are dead.I was given powers by hydra and i still have no idea what they are. I have a bunch of friends who live in a tower, with a billionaire, that I used to know and now i have nothing. no trace. I don't remember who i am Rhodey. I... don't Remember anything. "

He take the plug out of the car and back into the machine before swiping a card that he probably also got from Tony.

"Please Rhodey...give me something to go off of here" You sigh in disbelief

"I feel like i'm going crazy trying to figure this out"

He looks at you for a couple seconds before looking away and sighing, You know in your gut that he isn't saying a word and you feel frustrated you even asked, knowing you weren't going to get anything out of him.

"Look kid, it's not my place to say anything. it's not Tony's or Sams or Scotts or anyone who is inside that tower that you have talked to. Just know we care about you, we all do, it's frustrating but there's nothing i can do about it."

He gets back in the car without saying another word and neither do you. You wish he'd tell you what it is that's on everyone's mind but you know the only person who is going to tell you anything is the one everyone keeps trying to avoid talking about. They don't want to say too much because it's not their place, meaning something happened. You have to ask her. Even if the fear of what you could find is almost enough to steer you away
