Kiara Stark

Chapter 37

As Steve is sleeping with Sarah by his side i sneak out the room... I am done being vulnerable and broken. I am done being scared and weak. I am done waiting... I want this shit resolved... And as i am not sure if i want to go back to our home, i am sure that i want this shit to be over...

I walk to my dad's lab... I find him there running his hand over his face... When i walk in he looks up surprised. "She is alive!" He says overly dramatic and i roll my eyes... "Yeah, yeah, yeah... Let's just pretend i did not have a baby that i have to take care off..." I say and he smiles... "How is the little one doing..." He asks and i smile... "Doing great... Eating, sleeping and pooping..." I say and he chuckles... "And how are you doing?" He asks and i sigh... "I am done... I am done being scared but above all i am done being in the dark. I know it is my own fault but i need this resolved..." I say and dad smiles... "There she is... My tough girl is back. Good to see the fire in your eyes again." He says and i blush... "I blame the hormones..." I say and dad grins... 

"It is just tiring to not know who you can trust..." I sigh and he takes a deep breath... "Show me what you got..." I ask and he gets the biggest smile on his face. As we go through the evidence i try my best to make sense of it all...  We are doing our own thing dad studying some data while i go over the many, many pictures... I see a man... Something is off about him to me... 

"Who is he?" I ask pointing at a picture of a man... Dad looks up and to the picture i pull forward on the screen... "He is nothing... According to Nat he is dead... She killed him and shut down his operation years ago..." Dad says not really paying attention, busy with his own thoughts... "Oh yeah... When did she kill him?" I ask having a bad feeling... "What's his poison?" I ask and dad sighs... "I dont know before she came to shield and from what i understood he trafficked girls or something to make them into little Romanoff's..." He says before taking his attention away and looking at his own data again... 

"When. Did. She. Kill. Him..." I growl getting annoyed at his avoidance and lack of attention... He sighs and looks up at me... "Before she joined shield so years ago..." He says giving me that vague answer again... I groan and roll my eyes... "Fine i will ask her myself..." I growl. "Jarvis... Tell miss Romanoff to join us in the lab asap..." I say and Jarvis sound through the room confirming... 

"Nat is not going to be happy..." Dad says in a singing voice and i give him a death stare. "I dont give a fuck... She can suck it up... I haven't been happy for weeks..." I growl and dad looks at me shocked... "Is being here such a bad thing?" He asks and i sigh... "No... But i am scared for my baby and feel like a prisoner... I should be able to go on walks and enjoy this time with my baby... Instead, i only leave the house with Steve and spend most of my time in my room... I am done living like that..." I say and he sighs... "I know. We are all working hard to figure it out..." He says... I sigh and hang my head feeling guilty as i know they do... "I know... But i am done... Please let me do this..." I say and he is about to say something when Nat walks in looking groggy... 

"Tony you better have a good reason..." She says angry but stops talking when she sees me... "Kiara... Hi..." She says and i force a smile... "Sorry i was the one to wake you... I need you to answer some questions..." I say and she looks a little hesitant... I pull up the picture... and point. "Who is he?" I ask and she sighs... "Dreykov..." She says and let the name run through my mind. 

"But he is dead... I killed him..." She says and i take a deep breath... "When?" I ask and she stands up. "Over 10 years ago..." She says stepping closer... "He is a dead end. Literally..." She says and i pull up another picture... "Want to change your answer because according to the data this picture has been taken 2 years ago... Tell me... Does he look dead to you?" I say and she stares at the screen with shock on her face... "No, that can't be... He is dead..." She mumbles and dad joins us. 

"Tell me about him..." I say and Nat starts talking... When she is done i look at dad... "Still think he is not the guy behind all this... He has an all-girl army... Dont you think he wants one who is part super soldier... Having her as a baby means he can shape her like he wants her..." I growl and dad looks a little hesitant... "But nobody knew she is part super soldier until a week ago..." He mumbles and i sigh... "Maybe but what if he assumed... What if he knew somehow... I mean doesn't it make sense..." I say and he nods... 

"Now... Let's find this son of a bitch and find out if my hunch is correct. If not, at least we take out an asshole..." I mumble and dad nods... I look at Nat... "You down with that?" I ask her and she smiles... "Definitely..." She says determined and i take a deep breath... "Good... Now let's get to work... Jarvis, get me everything you can find about General Dreykov..." I say and Jarvis goes to work... Information fills the room and i take a deep breath. "Time to get this shit over with..." I mumble knowing i got this right... My gut feeling tells me that this is the guy behind the attempt to take our baby...
