*Author's note*

Not that really long of a chapter I apologize in advance but I promise you something big WILL happen and the reunion that some of you have been dying to know will take place in this chapter. Plus something really special will happen towards the end. Just one more chapter left after this and then that'll be it, Bad Wolf in Civil War will be complete :) The ending I took inspiration from a FRIENDS episode so I hope you all enjoy it in the end ;)

It wasn't until three days that I was able to get up and walk again. Apparently I had used too much Mystical energy to bring Rauri's mind back from the shadows that I over-exerted myself so much that I barely could even lift myself up without either Bucky's or my mother's help. But with some soda and chocolate I was able to make a faster recovery and get my energy back up.

Once I could walk again, I then went to the lab and found myself standing before Rauri. Shuri who was working on some new tech for Morowa and her brother took one look at me and I looked at her and she instantly knew what I wanted. She dropped her projects and left the lab in silence leaving Rauri and I alone. We both looked at each other in silence before Rauri began.

"Thank you for—"

"You don't get to talk right now, I deserve the truth Rauri. The whole truth!" Rauri sighed solemnly and he said.

"Look what I told you was the truth. Connor and I grew up in Ireland and then Hydra found us and—"

"That's not what I meant!" I snapped. I kept my arms crossed as I glared at him then I said, "What you said to me before you went into the jet, before you—you killed yourself......Did you mean what you said? Was all that time we spent together, our first date, our first kiss, was it all a game to you?" Rauri wouldn't look me in the eye but then he looked right up at me, got up and walked towards me and reached out for my face but I flinched back with a sharp breath as he said.

"It was Connor's plan for me to get close to you since we're both the Bad Wolves of Hydra, at first I was playing along but then.....something changed".

I looked at him in disbelief then turned and walked away. Rauri called out my name and chased after me before grabbing a hold of my arm and begging to me.

"(Y/n) please you've got to believe me! When I asked you out on that date, and danced with you in my arms, it didn't become a game, it became real. You opened up my heart, you've made me feel more alive than I could ever imagine".

"You used me to get to Bad Wolf, you tried to expose her once again to the world, and you broke my heart by telling me you loved me then dying right before my eyes, how am I ever supposed to trust you Rauri?" I raised my eyebrows at him just dying to hear his reply and like I suspected, he said nothing and just stared at me with broken eyes.

"I don't know......Please (y/n) will you give me another chance?"

"If I hadn't called Tony Stark up by now telling him that I forgave him for shooting at me and nearly killing my brothers, hell to even let him know that I'm alive, do you see me instantly on my knees saying that I love and forgive you. All my life I have had.....everything taken from me since I was 8 years old. And I am tired of being clobbered with that pain, and seeing you here it's just.....I can't do this Rauri, not again" I turned and immediately ran off with tears falling down my face.

A week later after I had gotten a training session done with the Chimeras, I went back to my room to find the same violet Wakandan lily lying right there on my pillow. I picked it up and just shook my head.
