Run Away

Ch 50

It was Hayden's and Thor's turn to look after Scott, Bucky and Micky. It had already been two hours and they weren't back yet. Thor was eating poptarts and Hayden was watching TV when suddenly a metalic smell reached her nose. She frowned confused and turned to Thor and then to Bucky, Scott and Micky. Bucky's nose was bleeding. Hayden instantly shot up and rushed to them, Thor followed her with his eyes, confused at her sudden movements

"He's bleeding" Hayden said. Thor stood up and went to stand next to Hayden

"What do se do?" Thor asked

"I don't know. Call someone who knows" Hayden answered

"The avengers and the pack have been informed" JARVIS said. Soon, they all arrived

"What's wrong? JARVIS said it was urgent" Natasha asked

"The soldier is bleeding through his nose" Thor informed. Steve was instantly deeply worried, he didn't know what to do to help

"Take them out" Steve said

"No, if we do that they can be damaged, they have to come out themselves" Stiles said

"This happened to me when I did it. I was forgetting it wasn't real" Lydia said

"How do we remind him?" Clint asked

"Peter yelled at me. Maybe yelling at him. Calling his name" Lydia said. Steve rushed in front of his friend and crounched at his level

"Bucky! It's not real!" Steve yelled "Snap out of it! Bucky!"

The fight was tiring. Micky couldn't do anything, she was petrified by the fear, she only sat against the doors and sobbed as she watched her friends fight the monsters. Scott was doing great, he had fought all of them in real life and he knew what to do, but Bucky was struggling. His weapons wouldn't work and his arm was apparently not strong enough. The Kanima stuck his claws into Bucky's human arm making Bucky scream out in pain. Bucky's scream only worsened Micky's fear. He fell to the floor not being able to move anything. The dread doctor came to him and injected something in his neck. He screamed again

"... not real... out of it... Bucky!" a voice sounded in Bucky's mind. He recognised it as Steve and frowned

"Steve?" He muttered confused. Where was Steve?... in the Tower... where was he?... in Micky's mind but... in the Tower too. It was all fake. Scott had said it 'You die there, you die here' He had to remember that it wasn't real "This isn't real" Bucky turned to Micky who was still petrified. He used his metal arm to drag himself towards her, the monster's attack not hurting anymore. He was able to stand up and kneeled in front of Micky. He then grabbed her head in his hands and forced her to look at him "This isn't real! Micky! This is your mind! Your head! You can defeat them! They can't hurt you! You have control here!"

Micky stared at Bucky's eyes, he was right. She could do it. She had to face her fears. She stood up and walked towards Scott. She pulled him back and stood in front of him. The monsters stood in front of her in a line

"You're not real" Micky said "I am scared of you, but you are the ones who should be scared of me. This is my school, and you're not welcomed here!" She pushed her palms forward and a big rush of air and energy came from behind her making all the monsters fly away. Once they were gone, the sun returned and Bucky was able to move again. Scott approached her with a proud smile

"Well done" Scott said patting her shoulder. Micky smiled at him and then turned to Bucky

"Thank you" she told him

"Anytime" he said also smiling

"Facing my fears, that is the key to unlock my subconscious" Micky said thoughtfully

"Where's the door then?" Scott asked

"Not here. Those weren't my biggest fears"

"Then what is?" Bucky asked. Micky took a while to think, what was she scared of? She was scared of leaving her loved ones, of the monsters, of her powers... but she was mostly scared that it was real, that's why the monsters appeared instead of corpses or something like that, because she knew the monsters were real and that's what scared her. Her fear was that her fears become real... then it clicked, her saddest time was also her scariest memory, because it was a fear that had turned real

"We need to go to the hospital" Micky said

"To the hospital? Why?" Bucky asked. Micky turned to him with a grim face before answering

"I need to see my mom"

The avengers were all still watching the three peole still in a trance. They were all nervous. Specially Stiles and Steve. Lydia approached Stiles and gently took away his hand from his mouth to keep him from nibling at his thumb nail. Stiles looked at her and she sent him a reassuring smile

"She's gonna be alright. She's strong" Lydia said

"I don't want her to go through what I went through" Stiles admitted

"We know what to do now. It won't be like that again" Lydia said and squeezed Stiles' hand, Stiles squeezed back grateful for the support

"They've been like that too long" Steve pointed out

"This is not an exact science. We can't do anything but wait" Malia said. Stiles' phone rang and he looked at the ID

"Shit" he cursed

"Something wrong?" Sam asked

"It's my dad" Stiles said and took a couple steps away from the group before answering "Hey, dad" a chuckle came from the other side of the phone and Stiles froze, is was a female chuckle "Who is this?"

"You are the detective. Figure it out" the voice said

"Clarisse" Stiles said through gritted teeth. All the group heard him and instantly turned their attention to him

"Bingo" she laughed "Seems like you do have psychic DNA after all"

"Where is my dad?" Stiles demanded

"Now, patience is a virtude, boy" Stiles could hear the smirk on he face "I have a message for your sister, and if you want to see your dad again you are going to tell her exactly what I will tell you"
