A Million Reasons - Under Editing

Chapter Three

My phone smashes against the wall and shatters into a million pieces. Barnes looks at me and sees the warm tears streaming down my face as I press my fingers to my temple. I'm pretty sure someone was trying to kill me. He pulls me closer to him and rocks me softly. Steve, Clint, Wanda, Vision, Tony, Pepper, Pietro, Bruce, and Sam rush into the room. Just in time to see Barnes place a kiss on my temple. They must have heard my phone smash against the wall after I screamed.

Wanda tilts her head and then cries out in pain as she reads my mind. She must have heard the sound that makes my ears ring. Pietro and Vision rush to her side as she also holds her temples. Tears stain her cheeks as well. Steve frowns at the smashed phone.

"Not to butt in on any of...Whatever is happening but the phone is gone beyond repair," Steve says hesitantly after watching Bucky pull me into his lap. I wipe away the tears and try to put on a strong front. Pietro has led Wanda out of the room. Tony picks up some of the broken pieces of the phone.

"Yup, Red. It's broke." I glare daggers at him and slide down next to James instead of being on his lap.

"What was I supposed to do?"

"Hang up," Tony laughs back at my question.

"It was rhetorical," I snarl back and get off, storming down to my room. I have a feeling that Molly was the caller. It doesn't make much sense although that is where I'm thinking.

There is a knock on the door. It opens and James pops his head in the doorway. "Hey," he says sheepishly. "Tony is trying to fix your phone."

I go over and open the door for him and pull him into a hug. That could have been risky. "Someone's targeting me. I think that it's Molly. Call in Katie please." He nods and leaves. Moments later Clair sticks her head into the door.

"Hey, Agent Romanoff."

"Hello, Katie. I need your help."

"Oh?"

"Okay. So I need you and Blake to go down to the prison Molly Romanisk is being held at. Then I need you to check on her. I'm pretty sure that the most recent attack was because of her. It doesn't make much sense but I fell that you can do it," all the words rush from my mouth. Katie nods and opens her mouth to reply.

"I can do that," she replies. "But I should see if Jason is free. When do you want us to go?"

I think for a moment. When is a good time? "Today. Around nine tonight." She nods.

"Okay. I will make sure you know her exact whereabouts."

"Thanks, Katie. You can go now." I watch the blond disappear around the door before I pull out a laptop. I search up the name of the S.H.I.E.L.D prison and look up Romanisk. There is nothing on her at the moment. Now I'm not even sure that Molly is in the prison yet. This might not turn out well for Katie and Jason. They might as well be dead.

I need to hope for the best, otherwise--screw it. They are probably either going to find nothing or find something worse. As long as they get home safe, it's okay. Janes comes into my room once more and I smile.

"What are you doing?" He asks and narrows his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Why did you need Katie?"

"Why does it matter?"

"Don't be stupid," he questions. I shake my head and pull him over my bed to cuddle.

"You'll see soon..."
