The light dance though the crack in the curtains finding a place upon Ashleys skin. Illuminating every strand  of bright blonde hair the spread over the soft pillows. Peter looked in awe at her beauty. His fingertips dancing over her soft pale skin. The white sheets intertwined in their bodies the pleasant burn of the light dancing Over Peters chest made him smile. His eyes wandered to hers which seemed to open as his finally hit them. "Good morning" she mumbled giving her heavy limbs a stretch bones clicking as she did. Peter didn't say a word he hand running over the small red box laying it in her chest. "You promised me an awnser." The click of the box opening perked Ashleys ears as she looked at the diamond. She smiled closing the Box. "No." She sat up placing the box in his lap "what" she stood up looking at him. "I can't. Peter. Don't ask me this. We're not made to get married and have children. We're meant to protect those who need it. Something is coming. Things will happen that we don't understand. I can't be attached to you when it happens." She walked out of the room leaving the boy to his thoughts.

She sat in the lounge thinking about what she had seen in her thoughts. Blood. Screaming. Pain. All of it was coming. Ashley could only sit back and watch as it all fell apart. She was snapped out of her thoughts by Lena walking in. Ashley sat up "morning." Lena smiled. Sitting down. "You saw it didn't you?" Lena huffed running a hand through her hair.  "Yes. Have you checked?" Lena shook her head "I can't... if it's true..." Ashley got up walking down the hall. "Ashley please" Lena followed tears rolling down her face. "Lena if what was seen is true. God help us all." Lena closed her eyes in pain kicking the door open in frustration. She saw the blood on the walls. Her hand covered her mouth "no" she gasped out in pure pain. She broke out into a sob walking to the body on the ground. "No" she screamed grabbing his shirt. She screamed in pure pain dropping to her knees. A burst of energy was released sending Ashley flying backwards. The windows smashed. The draws cracking into a thousand pieces the cement walls cracked. A door burst open bucky ran down the hall. "Lena!" He shouted turning a corner. He gasped seeing the sight. Dick greysons body on the ground. Her best friend. His throat torn open. His blue eyes frozen open. Bucky stepped forward. "Lena." He placed a hand on her shoulder as she sobbed. "Come on" she shook her head the most heartbreaking whimper leaving her lips. Bucky wrapped his arms around her dragging her to her feet. "No!" She screamed once more clawing to keep hold of her best friend as bucky used all of his strength to drag her out. She was pushed into the arms of Steve.  "Take her. Please. Ashley go and watch Zachary. Now!" He screamed looking back at the body. He rubbed his face. "Shit... shit"

An hour later Dicks body was gone. The room had been cleaned. Lena was  on the balcony still shaking. Steve was sat with her attempting to calm her. Nothing would work. She wanted to scream. Just break everything in her path.

Ashley walked into the lounge "we need to prepare" bucky raised an eyebrow "oh yeah for what" Ashley looked out to her sister. "Her. Bucky. I've seen things. This could be her undoing" he stood up in defence "you have no idea what your talking about Ashley.  She's grieving. Not loosing her mind!" She looked up at his towering frame her jaw clenching "you have no idea what could happen if we don't treat this right bucky. It could break her" bucky rubbed his face turning away slightly "you think I can't help her... I know you don't like me Ashley but I know how to support her and my kid." It wasn't long before an argument broke out and a glass was sent at buckys head. Lena walked in. "What the hell are you two doing!" She screamed sending the both down onto the couch. They looked at her in fear stuttering an excuse. "Jesus! You can't stop arguing for 5 seconds!" She ran her hand through her hair. "Where is Dicks body. I'm taking it home. Zachary is coming with me. I think we all need to be aprt for a while" bucky looked at his best friend then Lena feeling sick. "Your what." She huffed walking away. "You heard me!" He stood up. "I heard you and it's not happening." She turned around slowly looking at him. "Oh?" Ashley rose from her seat feeling uneasy. "His father deserves his body... and I'm not leaving Zachary here alone..." bucky frowned crossing his arms. "He wouldn't be alone. He'd be with me." Lena laughed "same thing" bucky tensed looking at her. "What is your problem Lena." She looked around shaking her head. "Look I'm going. Now. I don't want to talk about it. I'll be back in a week." She turned back to the hall as bucky grabbed her wrist. "Don't walk away from me." She faced him eyes burning with rage. He let go looking at his metal arm as it began to twist. Bucky screamed as his arm completely unattached from his body. Lena disappeared grabbing Zachary from his room. By the time everyone had calmed down they were gone. Bucky sat as Tony reattached his arm just thinking. Feeling like shit. This time it was his fault.
