An Iron Fist for an Iron Maiden (A Danny Rand Fan Fic)

Chapter twenty: The Choices We Make.

Chapter twenty: Sam

"What do you mean she has her memory back?"

"Exactly what it sounds like Bucket Head. She remembers everything!!" I forced a smile, seeing as how Webhead thought this would be good news.

"So she's no longer under Dracula's control?" He shook his head.

"Nope. She's free and remembers everything. Fury said you could come up to the Helicarrier now as the threat is semi-passed. The Kabal is an Avengers problem so we shouldn't have to deal with them for awhile. Or anytime soon really." I nodded, grabbing my helmet.

"Alright. Swing ahead and let them know I'm coming. See how Joy is for me?" More importantly, see if Iron Fist knows yet.

"I'll meet you there Sam. Oh, and one last thing. Danny knows; he's the one who brought her memory back." Spiderman said, before jumping out the window and swinging off. I sighed, staring down at my helmet.

I was going to loose my girlfriend. Just when I saved up enough money for a nice date and everything.

Sighing, I put the helmet on and took off. Now wasn't the time to worry about this stuff. Joy could choose whoever she wanted...either the guy she loved in the past, or the guy she loves in the present.

You know what they say about not letting go of the past...

Trying not to move my shoulder to much, I still managed to at least jog down to the Medical Bay. I had to speak with Joy before...

They were kissing. Part of me wanted to kick down the door and blow stuff up in anger, but what the hell would that do? Just make me seem like an immature child.

Still, it was an odd feeling. Seeing Joy kiss Danny was like watching her cheat yet at the same time not cheat at the same time. If they never broke up, then she cheated on him with me.

Double cheat I guess.

"Sorry if I was interrupting something. I just wanted to see if Joy was okay...and clearly she is." I said dully, walking away. No way I was going to be able to stay on this hel...

And this is how Danny felt. Goddammit.

"Sam, wait. Please." I ignored her. Probably better for my safety that way.

"Samuel Alexander don't ignore me!!" She snapped.

"Why not?! I mean, that's what Danny wanted me to do!! Might as well listen to him now that you're offically taken by two guys."

"It's not like that. Just let me explain!!" I glared at her.

"Explain what Joy?! Explain that Danny is your true love and that I was just a place filler until you could remember him again?! Explain that where you might have "some feelings" for me, Danny is your true prince charming?! That you couldn't live without him?!" I snapped.

"Daniel and I were engaged!! We were going to get married a few months after my banishment but we couldn't because...well I was banished. You have to understand Sam.."

"I don't have to understand anything!! If you truly loved him as much as you act like you do then memory loss wouldn't have affected your feelings! A part of you would've remembered, but you didn't. You choose me instead and now I can see that maybe I was just a fun way to pass the time." I flew off, not really caring where I was going.

We weren't that serious...we didn't have the time.

But that didn't stop me from caring about her and hoping for more.
