"Shit is it really the 16th?" She said that I couldn't see if she was looking at anyone.
"Yea, why?" Clint asked.
"Because if it is then I hope Ashlee doesn't have that pain again.'' She seemed a little worried.
"Why?" Thor asked.
I slowly looked in the room and saw everyone was staring at her.
"It's her 26th birthday." She sighed "and on her 26th birthday is when she can find..." She trailed off sighing.
"She can find what on her birthday?" Natasha spoke from the island.
"Mate." Jessi put a hand up to her face "she has been dredging this year." Jessi threw her head back with a sigh.
"Why??" Thor seemed really confused. It was sort of funny watching him try to figure out what she was saying.
"Because she doesn't want to find him. She is scared that he will try to control her like Torren. Which sucks since she will keep having that pain till she does. Knowing Ashlee she will try to live with it.'' Jessi was staring at the ceiling as she spoke to everyone.
"How do you know all this?" Bucky asked.
"We wanted more information after Torren changed her and she came to me. So we found someone who knew more and got the information. She was cautious with him so he wouldn't know she was what we talked about but he didn't even ask. He just told us what we needed." She told them.
She was right, I remember that.
"Is it someone like her or can it be human or other things?" Bruce asked.
"I think it can be anything." Jessi looked at Bruce. "But she has to look into his eyes and touch him as she is in pain. She should feel a spark or a jolt of electricity. If the pain goes away then it's him, if not she has to look again."
Bruce just nodded. The others took turns looking at each other. I finally walked in and smiled.
"How was your cigarette sis?" Jessi also faked a smile.
I shrugged "same as always." I laughed and sat down.
Nobody said a word for a few minutes and I could feel another pain start to come so I stiffened a little and looked down at my hands in my lap. I was trying to focus on my breathing and the pain hit harder than before.
"Ash, you okay?" Sam looked over to me.
"Ash?" Jessi came over to my side and put a hand on my shoulder.
"I'm fine." I breathed out.
"Ashlee, is it another pain wave?" Jessi spoke. She crouched down next to my legs.
I know I couldn't get by her with this since I know she can see my face. I nodded.
"Shit this is the second one." She said looking at Bruce.
"No Jessi, this is the 3rd one." I stated as the wave slowly died down. I looked at her face and she had her mouth open.
"When?"
"Outside with my cigarette"
"Ashlee..." She looked up at Sam.
"Jessi, you need to tell her." Sam said. "She doesn't need to keep going in pain."
Jessi took a deep breath and made me look at her. "Happy 26th birthday Ashlee" She smiled at me.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. "Great" I sarcastically said.
