The Phantom

Prologue

Natasha's POV                       

    James and I were both home witch doesn't happen often, so we enjoyed each other's company and went to sleep. For once, James was sleeping soundly, so I let him sleep while I thought about the red room and how far we both had come as actual people from where we began. I was deep in up to my neck in these thoughts when I heard a Friday, Stark's new AI, tell me there was a visitor for James. I left the bed quietly, to let him sleep, god knows he needs it with what he was going through. So I left a long to see the"visitor".

     When I opened the boor I already had the safety off on my Glock, but all I found was a ragged teanager at the door who looked like he hadn't eaten or had sleep in weeks.

"I need Sargent Barnes" was all he weazed out before passing out at the door. Him falling made enough noise to wake up James. He shuffled out sleepily but was a wake as soon as he saw the boy. It wasn't till now that I realized there were stab, slash and bullet wounds all over him to the point were I was surprised that he made it to the tower. It was when we put him on the couch to clean his cuts out that we saw that his left arm was bionic and almost identical to James'. His legs were the same. I was confused and shocked at that, dust more at the look on James' face, which was a mixture disbelief, confusion and horror as he looked at the boy. Then as I looked at the boy, I realized that it was gong to be along night.....
