The Other Stark

No Comment

Steve didn't even reply to my little rant. We both knew it was true. He walked away looking at shelf's before saying, "If you are already in a secret bunker than why would you need a to hide the elevator" He then pulled back a self and sure enough there was a hidden elevator. So we all packed in and took it down. The room was dark and empty. When the lights turned on there was old school computers. There was also a port for USBs. Natasha plugged the USB that Nick gave Steve and the computer turned on. There was a weird video of an man who moved a camera on top of the monitor as it looked at all of us and stated our names and birth years. Natasha let out a "This is a weird recording" to my surprise the video answered back to her, "I am not a recording" on another monitor a real picture of the man popped up" Natasha looked to Steve as he began to walk around. "You know this man" I was already looking at the computers wondering how they are even functioning. It takes a whole room to power one computer and that requires electricity and A/C to keep them cool. Steve started talking about the man when the computer replied, "First correction, I am Swiss" This was bothering me like no other. I have never herd of a single person to basically download themselves onto a computer. The is no technology created yet. Someone wants us here. Why hide this? This location. "look around you I have never been more alive." He began to talk about how he preserved himself. This guy worked for Hydra.

 Hydra was theoretically gone but I herd about their spies. There was never a Hydra worker that didn't give themselves 100% to the cause. If even one survived, there has to be more. Who else could more the USP port down here? It clicked to me. I was not that hard to find. Someone wanted us here, or at least wanted Steve. Steve is considered a felon if they killed him no one would even look into it. His entire death would be covered up. Now I am positive. Hydra compromised shield. I ran back to tell the other two that he needed to get out when my Grandfather Stark appeared on the monitor. "Accidents happen" this accident they are referring to is the car crash the killed my grandparents and my mother, the one that almost killed myself. Hydra took almost everything from me. Now it is personal. I flipped the monitor onto its back, yet even with a broken screen it continued, just moved onto another monitor. "Guess we should of killed the baby" Images of me ran around the screen. Images from the EMT finding my mother to images of me at the battle of New York. I ran. I looked around for a plug, the main control panels. I am not letting this Nazi ass mother fucker live. I herd Steve throw his shield and I ran back. The elevator was closed. Natasha opened her cell. Thirty seconds till a missile hits us. Steve pulled up the top of a floor, and we hide. Concrete all around up came crashing. Natasha pushed me closer to Steve and she was knocked out. Men with gun and helicopters were all around. We ran and stole a car back to DC. With Natasha in the back Steve and I drove for silence. Finally I broke it when I asked, "Where are we going" all he did was focus on the road ahead, "Somewhere safe". We drove into a neighborhood and Steve knocked on a door. An attractive black man about mid twenties pulled up the blinds and opened the door. He greeted Steve, " Hey man" and Steve replied, "I'm sorry about this, we need a place to lay low." Natasha added on, "everyone we know is trying to kill us" he stepped aside and said, "not everyone" we made our way in and everyone got a shower. I was the first one in the shower and it hit me that Steve and I just broke up. I cried. I tried to make it sound not too loud. Once I was done I stepped out to see my newly cleaned outfit waiting for me. Guess I took longer than I thought. Looking in the mirror I saw someone broken. How did I turn out like this? I once was proud and strong, now I am just broken and pitiful. Passing by Natasha she gave me a nod, but Steve could not even look me in the eye. He knew I was broken. He knew that I could never be like Peggy. After my turn, I just laid on the couch in the living room. Steve was in the back with Natasha, normally I would have been jealous but right now I didn't care. I say that but I cared. It was like Loki was back in my mind whispering about what they could of done on all of the missions they were assigned together. It was no secrete that Natasha could be...excessive to say the least. The man, Sam had cooked breakfast and I nibbled on a piece of toast while he went back to get Steve and Natasha.

I still stayed laid on the couch while Natasha started brain storming. I didn't say anything. Not that I have spoken since I herd the news about Hydra and my family. I just listened. Sam was ready to join us. They set up a plan of attack, that I was ready to participate in when Steve pulled me aside. For a split second I thought he would say, "You were right and I am sorry, I love you Toni and want you by my side", instead the words, "I don't want you in this plan. I know you Toni. You are emotional and I wouldn't put it past you to go around my orders and kill every one in there" ringing in my ear. I wanted to cry but instead I rolled my eyes and groaned out, "Steve I am going to kill everyone even associated with Hyrda. I have no mercy for these people, all they are is a bunch of cockroaches. Now I am going to do this on my own, or with a team because honestly right now I don't give a flying fuck." One of the few times Steve yelled, "You arn't going alone"Then I looked around. It was being in a room where everyone saw you as weak, no one trusted you. "Actually Steve I think I am going to fly solo on this. Watch me." I began to walk away when he grabbed my arm. He signaled to the others to give us some alone time. It wasn't until they were gone did he speak up, "Toni I don't know what you are planning" I could feel my voice get louder, "I already told you Steve I plan on killing Hydra." He let go of me and his face fell a little bit, "I'm not going to stop you, I am not going to keep you locked up somewhere, but please, Toni I love you. Stay safe for me. You know I can't lose you." Half of me wanted to punch him, the other half wanted to kiss him. I had everything and yet nothing to say, so I did what I do best. I left. Out the front door i looked back at him watching him shake his head, "Always a way out with you" before I jogged down the street and stole a car. I know what I have to do. I just hope Steve does also.
