Heeey, long time no see... well you know, it doesnt really help that college gets in the way of literally everything I do -.- Gross... Anyway this was meant to go up 2 or 3ish weeks ago when Civil War came out on DVD/Blu-ray and whatnot but I mean, im uploading now so no biggy and plus it gives everyone more time to see it had they not seen it yet, so yes, there are spoilers later within the story, but i dont think its anything major.

Enjoy!

Chapter 1

I tacked a point on the map, every piece of evidence getting me closer and closer to the HYDRA secret location. I stepped back, looking at the wall of papers I had tacked and taped up. The door behind me opened, "Jessica, you need sleep." Coulson said,

"I don't need sleep, I'm fine."

"It's been three days, go to bed, that's an order."

I sighed, "Fine." I walked past him out of the room.

I sat on my bed and leaned against the wall, thinking about everyone who I had lost because of me. I thought about how I could have saved Pietro, and my sister. I looked at the bottle of vodka in my hand, not like alcohol did anything for me, the pain was always there. Out the window, the sun started to rise, I dropped the bottle and got up to go get food.

Tony nearly ran into me, "Jess... wow, you look like crap."

"Thanks."

He sniffed the air, "Long night?" I shrugged absently, "You should talk to Dr. Fleiss."

"Why? I am fine."

"Nope, you're not." He grabbed me by the arm, "Let's go."

"You're gonna have to drag me." I let my body go limp and fall to the ground,

"Jess, c'mon." He sighed, "Nah man." "Fine." He grabbed my ankle and dragged me down the cool tiled hallway.

"Well, it seems you are suffering from sleep deprivation." Dr. Fleiss said,

"Tell me something I don't know." I muttered. He was a new doctor, fresh from med school, but how he got stuck with diagnosing a freak like me, I will never know.

He gave me a look, that same somewhat stern look he always gave me when I would be a smart ass with him, "Be a smart ass all you like, but you need to take better care of yourself." He smirked, I stared into his light blue eyes,

"And what are you going to do if I don't?" I challenged, standing up.

He shrugged, "There's not much I can do, it's your health." He poured a glass of water and handed it to me, "But that doesn't mean I don't care."

"At least someone does." I said, taking a drink of water. My eyelids started to get heavy, "What the... did you just... drug me?" I yawned,

"I'm sorry Miss Parker, but you needed it." He apologized right before I fell asleep.

~Tony's POV~

"Did you know?" I asked Cap as I just watched the video of my parents getting killed by his 'best friend'. Steve nodded, "Yes." I held back tears, I was never close to my dad, but my mom didn't deserve the fate she was given, "Jess, did you know?" I asked, still staring at the monitor. From behind me I could hear her choke back a sob, "Tony..." She walked over to me, I faced her, "Tony... I..." She took my face in her hands and touched her forehead to mine. Tears were streaming down her face, "I knew..." She said quietly, "But I never told you because I didn't want to hurt you..." She cried. I put my hand on her cheek as she cried, I couldnt bring myself to be mad at Jess, she was the only thing I had to sibling. In the eight years that I have known her she had matured, but became more and more fragile, but she stuck with me through everything. Her powers werent making me feel this way because rage overwhelmed me and I moved Jess out of the way as I swung around to punch Steve.

Maybe it was best that I havent seen Steve since then, Jess didn't need that, she was having too many problems of her own that she had to deal with, he was just making it worse. Jess was losing sleep at night and she blames herself for everything that went wrong in the past few years, and it didn't help that she was slowly losing control, and she knew it. With a sigh I went to talk to one of the few people who knew Jess her whole life. Coulson was walking out of the kitchen, "Coulson!" I ran after him,

"Mr. Stark."

"I know it's not any of my business but I need to know more about Jess' powers."

"I can't show you that, it's confidential."

"I know you were there, cmon, just help me out here."

"Sorry." He started walking away,

"Listen, back when that whole ordeal happened between the Avengers a few months ago, Bucky attacked Jess, but when she got up she wasn't Jess, something else was going on with her. Something took control of her."

Coulson sighed, "Follow me." He led me down the hallway. We walked into an empty conference room, he started typing at the computer and a video showed up on the giant screen. Coulson played it:

June 28, 1994

Ten days after Jessica's birthday,

"The serum seems to be working well within her." The doctor said, "Nothing out of the normal?" Michael (Jessica's dad) asked, "Well, nothing abnormal besides the serum." "So when will we see results?" Elizabeth (Jessica's evil bitch mom) asked, "It's hard to say, it depends on how her body grows and adapts to the changes that the serum produces. It will definitely be within a few years though." Her parents both nodded as baby Jessica made a small cooing noise in her mother's arms. The doctor flipped through some charts, "Now there is one major thing you must know about this science experiment. Jessica will become increasingly stronger as she gets older, which means her powers will also get stronger, the fate of this world depends on her training. She can either save the world, or be the cause of its destruction."

No wonder Jess is the way she is, she is trying to stop herself from becoming what she fears. I stopped the video, Coulson was gone, but I felt that maybe, just maybe there was a way to help my closest ally and friend.
