"What way is there.. to let me escape?" He asks.
I shrug. I didn't really know yet.
"I mean, it's not like they'd believe you." I say.
He rolls his eyes.
"Clearly. I mean, would I be here if they did?"
I walk up closer to the glass, or what seems to be glass.
I'm about to punch the glass with my metal arm.
"No, STOP." He yells.
I don't punch it.
"Why?"
"First of all, that's stupid. You're on camera. Second of all, if someone tries punching through this, it will set off an alarm... or something like that."
"Shit."
"So what's your plan, now?"
I shrug. I didn't know.
"Oh, yes, what's your name, since you so graciously forgotten."
"Sarah Adams."
"That's a boring name."
"Do you want me to help you or not?"
He shuts up.
"If I were to help you, it couldn't be now. I'd have to come back a different time."
"Why so?"
"The cameras are always being watched. I'd have to break the security cameras and the computers without evidence it was me."
He nods.
I wanted to help him.
I may not be free, yet. But he has a chance.
Suddenly, the doors burst open.
"Sarah, don't you dare break that!" Thor says, trying to stay calm.
"I wasn't going to..." I lie.
I was going to try.
"Then why was it on camera?"
"It was a joke... I'm sorry."
Suddenly, Tony comes running in.
"I knew she was just like she always had been. She should be in there with him!" He yells.
"Stark, I think it was a joke." Thor mutters.
"What kind of joke is that?" Tony yells at me.
"He's dangerous!" Tony continues.
"What makes him dangerous...?" I mutter under my breath.
"He killed 80 people in 2 days just a few years ago!" He exclaims.
"Willingly?" I ask, now furious.
Tony and Thor both say nothing.
"He's a murderer. Once a murderer, always a murderer." Tony was angry.
I don't understand why he was always so angry at me. He was the one starting the feud.
"I guess I'm a murderer too, then." I say.
He doesn't say anything, he just stares at me.
"Yeah, you probably are. For all we know, you could be working with Loki." Tony yells.
"Stark!" Thor yells, now angry at Tony.
I stand there. Now watching them dispute back and forth.
"She's not a murderer!" Thor yells.
"Then explain more than 40 deaths by her over the past 70 years!"
"It wasn't her doing!"
"Oh, so it was a ghost?"
"She was under mind control! You are being foolish!"
I just wanted comfort.
I needed Peter.
They finally stop arguing and look back at me, trying not to well tears in my eyes.
"Look what you've done." Thor says to Tony, pointing at how I was about to cry.
"Nothing but a cry baby, I'd say."
I couldn't do it. I needed to scream.
"Why do you hate me so much? What did I EVER do to you?" I yell, loudly.
Both Tony and Thor are taken at shock by this.
He doesn't know what to respond to this.
I think he was shocked I said it.
"You'll probably end up killing someone's parents." He says, coldly.
I couldn't do this anymore.
He brought me so much pain in my memories.
"Is that what this is about?" I cry, "You're taking his unwilling actions out on me too."
He shrugs.
"Do you know, just how much PAIN I'm in everyday, and I have to act like I'm fine? Do you know how much I want to jump off this damn building and never come back? Do you know how much torture I was put through? It's bad enough I have to deal with the pain of my memories, but you constantly reminding me of what I've done makes it even worse." I yell, tears streaming down my face.
He doesn't know what to say.
I've scared him.
I've scared myself.
He would kick me out.
"Get out." He mutters.
"Stark." Thor says.
He holds up a finger.
"Get. Out."
I had been two busy yelling to realize that everybody had come barging in already.
Great.
I run off, heading up the stairs to the roof.
"Why is she going to the roof?" Clint asks.
"Shit." Tony says, starting to follow me.
Bucky holds out an arm toward him.
"You're not going after her. This is your fault. You're going to feel the guilt."
Bucky starts running up the stairs.
Tony follows him, even after what he said.
Everybody is eventually following.
I make it to the roof, grasping for air as I choked on tears.
He wanted me gone. So be it.
I run toward the edge, but pause.
I would die.
"Sarah! Stop!" Bucky yells.
I turn around and he's running toward me.
Sarah if you were going to do it, do it now, I thought.
I didn't know what to do.
I didn't want to be here with him anymore. Especially when he made my whole situation worse.
Bucky comes running up behind me, grabbing me, so I wouldn't fall. Or in this case jump.
I screamed and cried so much, my voice went hoarse and my vision blurred.
"Sarah, please, stop moving." Bucky says.
I gave in and stopped moving.
He picked me up and carried me to the center of the roof, where everybody else stood. In shock.
In fear.
Oh God, Peter.
He was a mess.
He stood there frozen in fear.
Crying his eyes out.
He was so afraid.
This made me cry even more.
I'd be putting others in pain.
I tried to let the words fall out of my mouth but nothing came out. I was choked up on tears.
"Have you lost your damn mind?" Tony asks, a little to loud. His whole tone was changed, though.
Fear. Guilt.
"Yes." I manage to choke out.
I was this close.
This close.
I was on the verge of ending it
Because I couldn't take the pain away.
Nobody could.
