"It doesn't matter, he's dead to me " I responded to Steve.

"Y/n..."

"Save it, I know you care about me and just want the best for me but you don't get a say in this." I said

"I know but y/n you can't run forever." Steve said

"Isn't that what I've doing my whole life Rodgers. Probably wouldn't have had to if he actually decided to be my father!"

"Director Fury has arrived." Friday announced and I look at Steve and the rest of the avengers who have now poured into the room.

"Does he know?" I ask Steve looks down and nods.

I paced around the room not knowing what to do my heart racing not knowing what to feel. I decided to walk out the room was stopped by a voice.

"Y/n." I hear his voice so similar to the flashbacks.

"You should probably go, or I will." I said not even being able to look at him.

"Y/n you're my daughter, I wouldn't do anything to hurt you." He said

"No, no don't give me that bullshit!" I shouted while turning to face him.

"Y/n I'm trying to fix this." he says I can hear his voice tearing up.

"You can't fix this." I responded.

"You're not letting me!"

"Because it's too late Nick!!" I screamed with anger tears escaping my eyes.

"You left me when I needed you! You fucking left me someone who really cares about you wouldn't do shit like that Nick!" I said as my voice was breaking.

"But it made you stronger." He argued

"I was a child!!! I didn't need to be strong!! I needed to be protected. To be loved. I needed a dad I needed my fucking dad and you weren't there." I said walking up to him as tears run down my face.

"You know my story right? You know a portion of the pain I've been through. Now think about how much of it could have been avoided if you had just stuck around." I said.

"He would still be here, your son, my brother he would still be here! Forget hydra, forget Odin...." I walked up to him to make sure he heard the words I'm about to say.

"You were the real villain of my story." I said. A tear rolled down his face.

"You didn't make me stronger, you left me for dead and I survived. No thanks to you!" I was about to leave and I stopped for a second I took off my mother's necklace and pushed it onto his chest.

"You know what the worst part was? That I actually waited for you." I said as another set of tears rolled out.

Grabbed a coat from a coat hanger and headed for the door. I see Thor standing at an entrance eyes fixed on me but I just ignored his presence and left the building.

I got into my car and had a full on break down. I was and, gripping the steering wheel. My chest tightens, and my breaths come in short gasps. It feels like the walls are closing in, and my heart races faster than I can comprehend. The world blurs, and all I want is to escape this suffocating feeling, but the air feels thick. Everything becomes overwhelming, and I just want it to stop.

Suddenly my door swung open and I heared a voice "You're alright you're okay, Breath y/n breath." I pulled myself together and tried to get my breathing under control.

"Y/n you're gonna be okay you're gonna be alright, you're having a panic attack." the voice said. I look to my side and see Thor. I remove my hand from his grip and I get out the car. "Y/n I'm here for you alright."

"You don't need to be here." I say coldly.

"I just wanted to see if you're okay, I heard everything that happened and...." Thor said

"Thor just stop with the act." I said frustrated that I have to deal with this right now.

"What?" He said nervously.

"You know I actually believed you, I respected your decision and in the end I felt taken for a fool. You're the last person that would make me feel better right now." I said

"Y/n what are you talking about?" He asked stepping closer to me and I took a step back.

"Did it even mean anything? Because it sure didn't seem like it when you answered that question during truth or dare or even worse when you went on a date right after you told me that you can't stop loving me."

"Am I a game to you? Is that what I am? A game?" I said but he stayed silent.

I scoff in disbelief. "I'm not dealing with this fucking shit right now!" I said getting into the car that just arrived this morning and driving away with tears of anger streaming down my face. I drove for a while not knowing where I was going. Until I heard a voice.

"Only those you love can hurt you, they are the only ones that can kill you." The goddess's words came back to me.

Guess she wasn't only referring to physical injury.

"You win more flies with honey but if you find a bee, sting first."

I hit the breaks and stop the car. Was that my mom's voice?

It is her and she's right. I start driving again now having a destination. Go to Strange's house and sneak a Sling Ring. Luckily he wasn't home which was weird but it worked out in my favor.

I opened a portal to Vietnam and I ended up in at the cemetery where my mom laid. I walked to her grave and sat by it.

"Hi Mom.... he's back and I don't know what to feel." I say hearing nothing but the wind.

"The reason you're not here with me, the reason we're all not together is back." I say my voice slowly breaking.

Yes my dad is Nick Fury director of shield a pretty tough person you can say but my mom wasn't exactly an angle. She's a force. She keeps moving. Nothing could ever break her, nothing except for him. She taught me to be a force I think it's time I take a page out of her book. I tried being open, being vulnerable but I guess it's time to maybe have my own back. Life is a game, it's time I start playing.

"Can't play defense forever, sometimes hun you have to attack."

Can't let my guard down anymore. Don't trust anyone. Sting first. It's the only way through.

I saw a box by her grave. The box looks familiar. I take it and open it up and see a baby pic of me and my brother with a chain. It's the male version of the one she gave me. "I'm going to find her mom -Cole." I read the note out loud. It was my brother. He put it there. I broke down feeling the weight of losing them.

"I'll get through this, for you mom for all of us." I said placing a kiss on her grave and taking the box with me.

Passion is a waste of time. Power is starting to look promising.
