Becoming Mary Jane

Prologue

Unknown POV
 

 "Good news!" 

 I look up and see Nancy, the nurse here at S.H.I.E.L.D Headquarters. 

 "And?" I ask impatiently.  

 "She's going to make it."

 I let out a sigh of relief. If we didn't get her here as soon as we could, she would have been dead by now. It's a miracle. It really is! 

 "So should we tell them then?" she asks.

 "Tell who?"

 "You know, the boy, and the girl's family."

 I was about to say yes, but something stopped me. I came into realization. She needs to be protected. That boy can do anything but protect her. She must stay far away from him as possible.

 "I don't think we'll be telling them anything," I tell her.

 "But don't you think they need to kno..."

 "They don't need to know anything!" I snap at her. "She's mine now. She stays here."

 "Why?"

 "Because I said so!"

 We're silent for a moment. I can tell she's confused why I'm doing this. I'm not trying to sound like a kidnapper. I just need to do this. It's for the best of everyone!

 She finally speaks up, "We have to tell them something."

 I hesitate for a moment. As cruel as this sounds, I say it anyway.

 "Tell them that she's dead."
