Alone

All of them

I was in my treehouse feeling my face to see how badly injured I had gotten, my lip was cut, I had a cut, from my nose to my eyebrow, blood oozed out uncontrollably. I was certain that it was bruising too. I had been gone for a little while too long probably.

I had other injuries too but no where near as bad.

You see I ambushed HYDRA buying chemicals from a bunch of stupid people.

Sure I took them all down, but some of them got a few cheap shots. My phone has been confiscated so I hadn't the slightest idea of the time.

Ah, they probably are all still asleep won't notice me missing, no one ever notices me missing. Nobody actually cares that much. This is sort of a reassurance to myself. I'm pretty certain they know by now though.

After I gave in on trying to hide the cut, I walked into the lobby in my pyjamas, with my weapons and suit in my backpack left in my treehouse.

It was dark, no one was around or so I thought. I tip toed through, suddenly a light turned on, Bucky and Nat. Could be worse Clint isn't here. Suddenly Clint drops from the vents. Well guess I spoke too soon.

"Busy night?" Nat said not sounding happy

"Where the hell were you?" Bucky asked

"Out" I said hostilely.

I finally turn around, they look at me worried, Bucky gripped my chin turning my head.

"Gosh Harvey," Bucky said.

I yanked my chin away from him glaring at him.

"It's fine, just a little cut," I said

"That is more than a little cut," Nat said crossing her arms

"FRIDAY get Bruce," Clint said

"It's fine," I said about to leave,

"Harvey, we're going to see Bruce," Bucky says.

"Now," Clint said.

I sighed finally following them,

I sat on the table, as Bruce dabbed the cut, trying to stop the bleeding,

Now Tony was in here as well since Tony never sleeps.

"Goodness Harvey what got you?" Bruce said

"I think it was a machete," I said shrugging angrily rolling my eyes as I winced when he put alcohol on it.

"This is going to need stitches," Bruce said.

"No way." I said moving away from him.

"Harvey, don't make me get help," Bruce said sternly putting his eyebrows up making eye contact with Bucky.

"Do what you have to," I said in a dull tone not wanting to be manhandled.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Bucky said.

"I was thinking, I needed to hit something," I said

I heard Clint chuckle,

Bruce started stitching my forehead,

"We do have a training room," Tony said

"I'm not allowed in their alone either. Besides I needed a different outlet, not to mention I needed to think," I said

"Well you won't be doing any 'thinking' for a while. You already weren't supposed to be." Bucky said in his disappointed tone.

I just rolled my eyes,

"You might want to get some sleep, tomorrow first thing you and I are doing some intense training until you tell me where you were," Nat said

I just rolled my eyes as Bruce finished

"There that should do it," Bruce said

"Good," I said glaring around the room getting down from the table.

I started walking down the hall,

"Harvey are you going to tell us what this is about?" Clint said

I turned around to look at all four of them,

"Look I-" I began but stopped I don't trust them, I can't tell them.

"Forget it you wouldn't understand," I said walking away, but someone grabbed my wrist

I looked up and saw Bucky,

"What wouldn't we understand," He said glaring at me.

"Let me go," I said glaring back.

I have a  thing about being touched it triggers flash backs.

"Not until you explain," He said.

I felt my anger flare.

I was trying to be civil for once.

"I said... let... go," I said with venom in my voice.

Bucky saw the look in my eyes he let go.

"Good night," I yell clearly fuming before walking to my room.

Bucky's POV

I saw the look in her eyes, when I stopped her. Just as I think we are getting through to her, she puts that barrier back up, but the look in her eyes was a mix of anger and fear, I've never seen fear in her eyes before it's always the anger.

I get it, her Dad did a number on her, but we are trying to help, why is she still so angry, I thought.

Bruce put a hand on my shoulder,

"Don't worry we'll get through to her, tomorrow," he said

I nodded weakly. I really hope so.

You see we have a plan, Nat is going to train with her tomorrow but she's not gonna go easy on her, Harvey only responds with anger, so were gonna use that in our favor so she finally understands we want to help her.

"I just hope this doesn't back fire," I said

"It won't," Natasha said walking over to join us.

With that we all finally left to get some rest.
