The Lost Queen Card

Chapter 15: History

I kept laughing at myself until finally I heard my phone ringing. I took it out from my bag and answered it.

"Hello?" I answered this time I calmed and went back to normal.

"Luce Where are you it's time to go home. I'm at the parking lot." Cap said on the other line.

"On my way Dad." I hung up and went down to the parking lot. I saw Captain Rogers already sitting on his motorcycle waiting for me.

"How's your day dad?" I asked him as I started my motorcycle which is next to his.

"It was great but I have some problems with the system." He said and started his motorcycle as well.

"Why is that?" I asked as I put my helmet on.

"Just something about taking care of you." He said and did tbe same thing.

"Say kid if you want you could leave your school stuffs at home and meet me at the museum."

"Sure after all I am done with my school works." I said and drove off.

I did what I was told and to the museum. I looked at the displayed historical informations about Captain and smirked. Show off.

I looked at one of the glass displays that has an information on Bucky Barnes, his best friend.

I wonder if Captain hid something from his best friend before. I kept reading about him until I felt a soft pat on my shoulders.

"Show off" I said to him and hugged him. I just want to cry in his chest and ask why he lied to me. How I wished I am brave enough to ask.

"You know if you were really my daughter during the war I could've introduced you yo him." He said and pointed out Bucky Barnes.

"He's handsome." I said and smiled.

"Uhhhh sounds like you have a crush on him." He pinched my cheeks. "Perhaps if he were alive now you could marry him."

"What no!" I lightly slapped his hands that were pinching my cheeks and massaged it.

"That's disgusting! I'm 17 and he is like 30? 28? And probably 100 if he were alive now. And the way you tease me is creepy!" I made a disgusted look. Captain continuously laughed and I just gave him a poker face.

We went to a small theater that showed a short film of what Captain did during the War. I suddenly wondered why he brought me here. I still can't be believe I am connected to Captain in the mind but didn't really go deeper to his memories although I took the copy of his superhuman strength and growth power that I could probably use. I got lost in my thoughts from awhile ago which is still fresh to me.

I felt a hand waved in front of me and that is when I got snapped out of my thoughts.

"You imagining Bucky Barnes?" Captain gave me a cheeky smile but I just rolled my eyes and followed him. We walked to a home for the aged which was not far from the museum.

"Why did you bring me there?" I asked him while walking.

"Just a little reminder from the past and to get you to know me better." He said with a little sadness.

"Why now? Why not before? You know me better right?" I asked as I get a bit more confused and nervous on what he will say.

"Nothing..." He said. "Dad... You're hiding something from me..." I said and frown as we entered the elevator.

Captain pressed the button for 3rd floor and silence filled us as we wait for the slow elevator to bring us to the chosen floor. The elevator suddenly stopped in the middle of the second and third floor.

"Ladies and Gentlemen sorry for the interruption but we will fix this problem immediately."

Captain sighed and inhaled deeply while I groaned in irritation and confusion. He sensed that I knew something, after all he knows how to read me just by my external action.

"Your parents are alive... the Batman of Gotham and S.H.I.E.L.D. took you away on your 7th birthday... that's all I know.." He said and I stood beside him with a broken heart but thankful as well for his honesty.

"What kind of child am I?"

"A villain's child but we both know that you're different." He said and hugged me. The elevator was fixed and finally we were in the 3rd floor. I wiped my tears away and fixed myself before we entered a room where an old woman lays on her bed.
