Dragon girl

Chapter 13

"Follow me and I'll show you something." I said walking towards the hall with all of the bedrooms.

Sam followed along with the rest of them. We walked til the end of the hallway and went up through a door that led up to the roof. It was the same door that Bucky used to go up on the roof at night. We got up on the roof and I walked until I was on the very edge of the roof, the others were about a few meters away from me. I turned and looked at Sam, put my arms out and fell off the roof. Sam ran to the edge to see what just happened but when he got ot the edge I flew back up in as a dragon. I landed on the roof and walked up them, Sam was terrified, Bucky and Steve were impressed and Peter was in awe. He walked up to me and I let him feel the scales and horns on my head. My eyes were a bright emerald green and when I lifted my head up I roared which seemed to surprise them cuz they looked at me with big eyes. I shifted back and kinda stood there waiting for them to say something. Bucky was the first one to say something.

"I may be a hundred years old and I have seen a lot but I could never imagine seeing a real life dragon." he said and chuckled.

"Agreed." Steve said and put his arm around me.

I smiled happily and looked at Peter for a response. Maybe he thought that I was a monster after all, seeing me so close. My smile fainted and I now felt a bit unsure.

"That..was SO COOL!" he exclaimed.

"A real life dragon! I can't believe I just saw that!"

My mood immediately went back up and I giggled when I heard his reaction.

"Hey, can we go down and eat something? I'm starving!" I say and head towards the door.

The others follow me down to the kitchen where I made a quick meal and chat with them as I eat. I tell Sam a little about my past but it's harder to talk about it when you have been unstable. When being unstable all you do is lose control and keep remembering your past, the good and bad memories. So even though I act like everything is fine I'm still being tortured with my memories. I'm not sure if Bucky and Steve can see that I'm not fine because they keep looking at me if I stutter or pause. We all hung out for the rest of the day and Peter had to go home so they said goodbye to him and I walked him down to the door.

"It was really nice of you to talk to me even though I didn't respond."

"Well I didn't want you to be lonely."

I giggled at his sweet dorky self.

"Well I should probably go now." he said.

I nodded and hugged him, while hugging him I whispered in his ear.

"I've missed you to."

He smiled and I kissed his cheek before closing the door and going back upstairs. My cheeks were heating up a small bit as I went to the common room. I said goodnight to everyone and went down to the lab where I knew Tony would be. I could hear music blasting from the speakers as he was working on his dad's old car. I entered the room and slowly walked up to him knocking on his shoulder.

"Oh, hey kiddo. What are you doing here?"

"Well I wanted to apologise for all of the trouble that I caused."

He stood up pausing the music as he wiped his hands on a dirty cloth.

"Trouble?"

"Well running away when you were taking tests on me, being away for a few days, then showing up again. Being a burden to you, I mean you have to keep checking in on me and spending money on me. And then I suddenly got unstable and destroyed your lab with equipment worth loads of money just because I couldn't control my shifting. I've..I've just been a mess causing problems that you need to fix and I feel really bad for not being able to repay you in any sort of way." I was completely

rambling and a tear had escaped, making its way down my cheek.

"Hey, hey it's okay. Come here." Tony said hugging me as I softly cried on his shoulder.

"It's okay. You're not a burden at all, quite the opposite actually. You make this team complete and you make everyone happy without even trying. And I don't mind spending money on you, I mean it's not like I can't afford it because I am after all a millionaire."

I giggled at his response.

"What I'm trying to say is that I don't mind spending money on you because you're like the daughter I never had. And you made Bucky feel better about himself even though he's a former assassin."

He let go of me, held me by my shoulders and looked me straight into my eyes.

"You make us happy and complete. We love having you around."

I smiled and nodded hugging him again, I closed my eyes for a second.

"Thank you." I whispered.

He nodded.

"Okay, I think it's time for you to go to bed now." he said.

I let go of him and went out from the room but before I closed the door I thought of something.

"Hey Tony?" I called.

"Yes Cassie?"

"You're like the father I didn't have for many years."

I saw him smile to himself before I closed the door behind me and walked up the stairs to the hall where the bedrooms are located. I went into my own room and changed into pjs before hopping into bed and falling asleep.

I was in the shape of a dragon flying through the sky over miles of forest towards a pillar of smoke, as I got closer I could hear the battle cries and metal clashing against each other. Soon enough a field was in front of me filled with men in armour fighting for their king, land and lives. I dove down and landed on the enemy side biting their heads off and striking them with my claws. I took a deep breath and could feel the burning fire inside me dwell up in my throat and spewing out as I breathed the deadly fire on them. Soon the smell of burning fleash was thick in the air as well as a iron smell from all the spilled blood. It was a clear victory for the other side after I had killed the enemy, but what they didn't expect was me turning on them. I slaughtered every single one of them, and when I was done the field that had once been gloriously green was now blood red with thousands off bodies scattered around the field making it a graveyard for unburied bodies.

I was sitting in my bed crying, I was hugging my knees trying to comfort myself when I heard a knock on the door. I cleared my throat and wiped my eyes.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Bucky."

"Did I wake you up?"

"No, I was up on the roof when I heard a noise from your room so I'm just making sure you're okay." he spoke in a low soothing voice.

I bit my tongue to not let out a sob but I couldn't.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, you don't have to worry." I tried reassuring him.

"Can I come in?" he asked with a sweet voice.

When I didn't answer he gently opened the door and walked in, he saw me crying on the bed he sat next to me and put his arm around me. I leaned my head on his shoulder and cried.

"It's okay. Nobody is going to hurt you here." he said trying to calm me down.

"I'm not afraid of someone else hurting me, I'm afraid of me hurting someone else." I said in between the sobs.

"Was it a nightmare?"

I nodded. He looked at me then continued to soothe me until I stopped crying. We sat there holding on to each other. After a while I fell asleep in his arms and he laid me down and put the cover over me.

Aonther day another chapter! Finally, a longer chapter! I have been sick the past few days so I've had quite a lot of time to write, which is why this chapter is longer. I don't know why there is a dot at the start and I don't know how to remove it so I guess it has to stay. Btw THANK YOU for 1.3k reads!! You guys are amazing!! Love you <3
