I live for you.

Chapter 19- In a Split Second

Tony helped me through the door to the and along the hall way. As we continued down the hall I no longer needed his help. Though he still kept his arm firmly around me as if he were supporting me. Perhaps he knew as well that we wouldn't be able to have physical contact anymore. The thought of that hurt me and I wondered if it hurt him. Though his face was painfully blank. Giving no hints to his feelings. 

We emerged at the mouth of the hall way. Looking toward the control room. It looked to be rehearsed as all the people in the room slowly turned their eyes toward us. Tony helped me forward and glanced around at the people at the table. Steve took one of the chairs and pulled it out for me. Tony helped me into the chair and reluctantly let go of my hand. I noticed every ones eyes lingering on our slowly parting hands. 

I looked around at them blankly. They all stared back at me with different looks on their faces.Natasha stood up finally. Her face was etched with anger. She turned on Tony.

"You had no right Stark." She sputtered through her anger.

"Go complain to someone who cares."  He snapped.

She stormed off down the hall, the sounds of her boots clicking on the floor fading away. Tony turned back toward the rest of the people at the table. 

"Anybody else got something to say?" he asked 

I saw Banner across from me. Holding his head in his hands. He looked up at me and smiled. He got up and walked around the table, sticking his hand out to me. I shook it loosely. The cut in my hand was causing me quite a bit of pain now that nothing was holding my attention.

"Im Docter Bruce Banner," He smiled

"Nice to meet you," I smiled back "My name Is Evangeline Scagilla."

"It nice to meet you as well," He smiled warmly.

He looked around at the rest of the people and they all lined up and began  introducing themselves. I smiled each time and they each returned to their seats. 

"I see you're out here now," Said Fury clinking down the hall toward us. Natasha was just behind him.

I turned in my chair to watch him walk into the room. Tony stepped in front of me protectively. I smiled morning over the fact that I wouldnt see much more of that behavior anymore. Because he wasnt mine anymore. 

Fury stopped a pace back and examined me closely. He turned to Natasha behind him, she made eye contact and walked back over to the table and took her seat. I watched her as she went and then my eyes returned to Fury's

"So you've accepted the deal then?" He asked matter of fact like. As if when I might say no bad things would happen.

I nodded my head "I dont know where they are exactly, but I'm pretty sure I know where I could find them."

"And is that supposed to be good enough?" He asked threateningly.

I smiled and stood from my chair. Tony put his hand out as if to steady me, but I waved it away. I walked over to Fury nodding my head.

"It wont be hard for me to track them down," I said 

"What makes you say that?" He squinted at me

"How hard was it to find our base in Bermuda?" I asked 

"It took us the entire 6 months you were off the grid," He replied 

"Alright then," I smiled "Well, I know their habits, their wishes, their dreams, I knew them as people. Rather than as just simple criminals as you do. It will be much easier for me to find them than it was for you. I imagine they'll all be re-grouping somewhere. Perhaps the summer house we were staying at the past week."
