-BEYOND- A Marvel Fanfic {Stark Saga #1}

71: Lilly Stark

The plane landed in Missouri late at night. I was half asleep by this time and I felt almost a little sick. I took a deep breath and shook myself awake. The warmth was sickening and I was still pretty drowsy. I stood up shakily and moved my way out of the plane into the cool night air. I was followed closely by Alyssea, Connor, and Razilee. Alyssea moved to my side, took my hand and gently pulled me aside to talk to me in private. "Lil..." She started and put a hand up seeing my expression, "...I just want to talk... I'm not mad at you for saying that to me but what the fuck was that all about? You never have talked to me this way and... like I am really worried about you. What happened to you in the span I was gone in HYDRA?" She asked softly.

I shook my head. I didn't remember, "...I'm sorry but I can't tell you that. Aly, I am so sorry for what I said. I'm just... so angry all the time and I lash out. I'm trying to not do that but it's really hard."

Alyssea squeezed my hand gently and lovingly, "Hey. Lilly. I forgive you. But, we need to figure out what is going on."

I nodded and took a deep breath, "Yeah. I agree."

"But, while we don't know... we should find a sign to tell us when you are getting pissed. So, we can at least try and get away before you punch one of us." She said slightly laughing.

"...Yeah. You are right. How about..."

"Flipping me off." She interrupted me joking as she sniggered a little.

I rolled my eyes, "No, not that. How about... I make two fists."

She nodded, "I guess that could work."

"Yeah. Now that is agreed upon... let's get back to the other two." I said, smiling. I lead Alyssea back and nudged Connor a bit playfully with my shoulder, "So, hotshot. What happened after... I left Wakanda?" I asked him cheerfully.

He raised his eyebrow at me, "You want me to catch you up on everything?" He asked.

"Yep."

"Well... that would take a lot of time... but, I could give you the short version?" He suggested.

I nodded, "Yes, please."

"Alright. Let's sit down here. I can tell you guys while we wait." Connor replied, amused slightly. We all sat down on the bench outside of a hospital. Connor took a deep breath and then crossed his arms thoughtfully, "After you left a lot of things happened. I started a small company with the help of T'Chaka... then I found out I had living relatives. I confronted my adoptive father about it and he said that he had known but my uncle hadn't wanted to adopt me. This was when I was fifteen. I got angry and left Wakanda and headed to where my uncle lived to question him myself. He lives in Hell's kitchen."

"Hell's Kitchen?" Interrupted Razilee confused.

"It's what they call a neighborhood in Manhatten. Now, sush." Connor answered, "Anyway. His name is Matt Murdock and-"

"HE'S DAREDEVIL!" Alyssea interrupted this time, "Oh my god! YOUR uncle... you are related to Daredevil??"

A twitch began to form visibly underneath Connor's left eye, "...Yes... he is. I fanboyed too but for all that is the fourth wall! Stop interrupting me!" He looked up at nothing, "Can you believe them, people?"

"I am not gonna ask..." I sighed, not really caring anymore that he was being coocoo again, "Keep going. If we need to duck tape their mouths we can." I said grumpily.

"Right..." All three shifted nervously and then he continued, "I fought alongside him against an evil organization called The Hand." Alyssea almost interrupted but a look from both me and Connor shut her up, "...That went on for about a year and then Fury showed up. He asked me to do a mission for him. Said it would be a one time deal so I accepted and then all of a sudden I'm a S.H.E.I.L.D. agent and doing missions regularly. Then, well... here I am."

"THAT was the short version?" Razilee asked in disbelief.

Connor rolled his eyes, "Yes, Razilee. It was."

I took a deep breath and took in everything he told us but before I could respond there was a flash of blue light and suddenly we were in a weird black ship.
