Rogue Solider

First Dinner

I walked back into the house laughing as Clint walked in behind me looking embarrased. I noticed Steve and Natasha sitting on the couch in the living room watching the door. " The funniest thing just happened. We were crossing the street and there was this one guy who was speeding and Clint yelled at him and said quietly " yeah that's right keep driving or you'll be in the hospital for a long time for speeding." We got across the street like right outside and as he was stepping onto the sidewalk he tripped over the curb. It was the best." My smile slowly faded as I noticed that they were glaring at Clint. 

" Are you guys okay?" I asked. Right after Natasha got up from the seat and gave Clint the we'll talk later look as she walked away. Steve stood up and while he was crossing his arms said " Where did you take her Clint?" Clint stood up straighter and went to stand a little in front of me as if he was protecting me from him. " I took her to the training center. Last I checked I was allowed to go to the center with whoever I wanted and Kena said that she wanted to work on her hand to hand combat more. Why does it all of a sudden matter?"

Steve stood to his full height and said " We were going to ask her all of our questions but we later found out that she wasn't here and neither were you so I put the 2 and 2 together. She has to answer our questions Clint. You know this already." I looked at Steve infuriated and said " Okay first of all you didn't ask if I was ready to answer questions that you have and right now I'm not. Second I would much prefer being better at combat than answering questions because people got hurt if I did answer questions. The last person that had all of my trust died because they kidnapped her and asked her a question that she refused to answer, so they shot her in front of me. I was only 12 when that happened Steve. I honestly thought you of all people would completely understand that"

I pushed passed Steve completely enraged and he grabbed my arm softly. " At least tell me who that person was." I glared at him with fire in my eyes and said " First I get kidnapped by Earth's Mightiest Heroes, then I am expected to answer THEIR questions while mine are neglected, and now I have to take orders from you?!" I said getting madder and madder by the second. I pulled my arm out of his grip and said quietly but loud enough for him to hear " Earth's Mightiest Heroes indeed." i started storming upstairs and then I heard Steve yell my name from the bottom of the stairs.

I turned around when I got to the top of them and said I'm just taking a shower, or do I need your permission to keep up on my hygene?" He didn't say anything so I rolled my eyes and when I opened the door I slammed it shut and got ready to take my shower.

TIME SKIPPY:::

I walked down the stairs and smelled Chicken being cooked so I went to the kitchen hoping it wasn't Steve and luckily it was Bruce. " Anything I can help you with?" He turned around and smiled at me " No I think I got it all. Thank you though." I jumped up onto the counter and sat on it swinging my legs and humming a STYX song. "How old are you Kena?" I looked at him surprised with the question and said "Almost 20." I was trying to hide the hurt in my voice that I had. I hate birthdays with a firey passion.

He nodded his head and said "What's Kena short for?" i started playing with my fingers and looked at the back of his head "Is this an interrigation?" He turned around chuckling and leaned against the counter "Not exactly good at hiding it am I?" I also chuckled and shook my head no. Bruce looked at me with confusion in his eyes.

"I could tell by the way you spoke that you hate birthdays. Do you mind me asking why?" I sat there just looking at him and then turned my gaze to the floor. "Because my family died when I was 8 on my birthday." He stood there looking at me with sympathy and he gave me a little smile and went back to the kitchen and flipped it again.

"About helping with dinner." Bruce pulled out a cutting board and knife as well as whole carrots "You can get the carrots." I walked over and started cutting them and then I looked up at Bruce and said "Terkena." He looked at me confused as he was placing the chicken onto a serving plate. " You asked what Kena was short for. It's short for Terkena. It was my mom's name." He smiled at me and said "It's very nice to meet you Terkena I'm Bruce." he said holding out his hand for me to shake. I looked at his hand and smiled taking it and said "It's nice to meet you too Bruce."
