"Who am i?"

I looked at Bucky and Steve who were looking at each other in worry. "i'm stood right here!" i said frustrated. "y/n" Bucky said stepping towards me. "don't" i said holding my hand out and walking past them.

During the time i'd been finding out who i was, the party had calmed down and there were few people left. The rest of the usual crew were chilling in the lounge area. "where have you been?" Sam asked me as i marched towards them all. "Agent" Fury glanced at me with a warning tone. "how long have you known who i am?" I said angrily as i slammed the file down on the table. I looked around the room to see the people i considered friends of mine. Tony frowned at me in evident confusion. Fury had turned his back on me with his hands behind him. He didn't want this to get out and i have no idea why but i'm determined to find out.

Sam looked at me worried as Clint and Natasha lowered their heads with guilt. Bruce placed his glasses on and looked at the file closer. "when were you going to tell me" i said, looking towards Fury. He turned around with a composed face and paced the room. "we weren't" He said and i clenched my fists in anger. "alright i've had enough of this performance. You better start explaining yourself" Tony said standing up and looking at Fury angrily.

"Eleanor Archibald! you've all heard of her. Well apparently i was once her" i said which caused Tony's face to fall.

The room was silent for a few agonisingly long few seconds before Tony cleated his throat and stood up. "SHEILD didn't want to let your skills and talents fade after you died. They started to develop a way to back up your brain and memories so we could implement you into another body. Or try to recreate your DNA" he said and Bruce took his glasses of angrily. "that's inhuman!" he exclaimed and i looked up at Fury with betrayal in my eyes. "so i'm the shadow of a women" i said. "a women who lost everything, endured pain, built up this god damn company with her two best friends who became her family all for you - to just take and use her 'skills' AGAINST HER WILL?!" i started to loose my temper as everyone began to feel incredibly sorry for me. "you knew? and you never told me!" i said angrily, looking at Tony with betrayal. "i thought we were closer than that" i mumbled to him and he looked hurt.

"Lady Y/N" Thor said placing his hand on my shoulder to calm me down. That familiar bolt of electricity ran through me once more as i grabbed my head in pain.

"this is a lot to ask i know but we need you alongside us" Howard said as i sat next to Peggy in one of his lavish houses. "you are both family, of course i'll help you" i said taking ahold of Peggy's hand. She smiled at me as Howard walked over to me. I stood up and hugged him tightly.

"he's beautiful" i said holding the baby in my arms. "we've decided on a name" Howard said happily. I looked up at him in hope. "Anthony Edward Stark" He announced and i smiled down at him. "well then, Hello Tony, i'm Elenor" i said as his small hand wrapped around my finger.

"i know i can't do anything to help your pain Tony, but i will wait out here all god damn night if i have too. I owe it to your parents to look out for you and i promise i will never let anything happen to you" i said sadly as i rested my head against his bedroom door. I wiped the tears from my cheeks as i slumped down the wall. "Howard was my best friend. And as for Maria, she was one of the best women i've ever met. How she managed to tame your father i still have no clue" i said chuckling to myself softly. "i'm hurting too Tony. We need each other now more than ever. When have you ever denied your Auntie Ellie a hug?" i questioned, using the old nickname he gave me when he was younger. I heard the doorknob twist and the door slowly opened. I stood up and was faced with a broken man. "we will get through this, together" i said softly as i pulled him in tightly, hugging him as he cried into my shoulder.
