Red Hand Annie

Dr. Death

Setting: another month later; the diner, late one night...

"You wanted to talk," I say, "so talk."

"..." Fury glares at me for a moment, "Your sister never showed up for her mission."

"She left,"I tell him, "Lucas and Howard were kidnaped by Witch and Winter, and Annie went off grid to God only knows where."

"..." he sighs, "she went rogue then."

"What's that?" I ask

"I may know where she went," Fury says

"Where?" I say leaning forward in my seat at the booth were in

"That's classified S.H.I.E.L.D. information son," he says, "I can't tell you; now if you were an Agent Mr. Stark..."

"It's Fares," I correct

"Then I could tell you," he ignores me and finishes

"Huh," I scoff, "I already know she went after Witch and Winter, let me guess; she went where ever the new Hydra base is right?"

"Classified," is all Fury says, "unless of course...you wanted to reconsider the offer of joining S.H.I.E.L.D."

"..." I glare at him, thinking for a moment, "you gonna let me go after my sister if I do?"

"..." he remains quiet

"Fine," I agree, "but on two conditions."

"What?" He says with a serious, unchanging face

"1. Its Agent Fares; not Stark," I say, "and 2. I never want to hear the name Winter Flames uttered or slip from anyone's lips."

"Very well Agent Fares, it would be confusing if we had two Agent Starks anyway," he says, "what do you want to be called then?"

"Instead of Winter Flames..." I say thinking, "call me Dr. Death."

"Why?" He asks, "your not a doctor last time I checked."

"Sounds cooler than Mr. Death," I say, "and because...I can set things on fire, dislocate my body parts and...um...I can..."

"Yes?" He asks

"I can...I can reanimate the dead..." I say grimly

"That little factor isn't in your file," he says get annoyed, "why?"

"It's not an ability to be proud of; neither is Annie's ability to control blood," I say sternly, "so I made sure it wasn't on my file...got caught before I could erase it from Annie's."

"..." he sighs irritated, "Anything else you or your sister are hiding Agent?"

"No sir," I say

"Does your controlling the deceased come with a split personality like your sisters control of blood?" He asks

"..." I go quiet and serious for a moment

"Well does it or doesn't it?" He raises his voice

"...yes..."I whisper, "hydra called it..."The Red Reaper," but I don't remember any of the time after words."

"And as The Red Reaper and The Red Winter ever...killed together?" He asks

"We're brother and sister; almost inseparable,"I say, "what'd you think?"

"Just answer the question," he says
