Thanks for the reviews and the follows! It really means a lot to me. I will be adding chapters, hopefully every weekend except when I have writers block.

Bruce really didn't need to do the EEG test after they found out Felicity was developing telepathic powers, but he did anyways, just to get an inside look of just what was going on in her head. He sat quietly at his desk, in the lab and studied the results. They were off the charts. Because of this, they couldn't just release her to whatever family she had left, especially when the majority of the population didn't understand this kind of thing. It was a bit worrisome to say the least. He didn't think a child should be subject to hear the thoughts of adults around her, however, he didn't know of a cure or reversal. If he knew how to reverse something like that, he'd be able to reverse what was done to him as well.

Since it had been a couple of days since Felicity was brought back to the Avengers tower and she was taking medication for the headaches, she was slightly more comfortable there, however it bugged her that she could not remember her life before H.Y.D.R.A. For all she knew, she had been a captive of H.Y.D.R.A her entire 6 years.

The child walked down the stairs after leaving her room. She smelled something really good cooking and wondered what it was. She peered into the kitchen to see Pepper and Tony. She watched how the two interacted.

Tony pinched Pepper's ass. Pepper laughed and playfully slapped his arm.

"Let me cook and go play with your toys," said Pepper, to Tony.

Felicity raised an eyebrow and walked over to the counter. She climbed onto a bar stool.

"Oh hey," said Pepper as the child caught her gaze. She wondered how much the child had seen.

"What are you making?" Felicity asked, curiously.

"Lasagna," said the woman. "That is, if Tony stops distracting me."

"Hey, not my fault you're distracted by this," said Tony, gesturing that she was distracted by his handsome self. He started making himself a martini.

"Do you have to drink around Felicity?" Pepper asked Tony.

"Hey, I am making it around Felicity. I'm not going to drink it around her," said Tony. "I'm going to go and play with my toys like you suggested," he said, referring to his robotics.

Pepper gave Tony a playful smirk and looked over at the child.

"Would you like to help?" Pepper asked the girl. Children always liked helping with things in the kitchen.

Felicity got off the stool and moved over where Pepper was about to assemble the dish in the pan.

Tony finished making his drink.

"See you ladies soon," said Tony. He gave Pepper a kiss on the cheek and ruffled Felicity's hair. Tony left the kitchen and headed towards his lab.

"Are you and Mr. Tony married?" Felicity asked Pepper.

"No," said Pepper, annoyed because Tony has never asked. "We're not. Not yet anyways."

"Oh," said Felicity. She watched as Pepper laid the first layer of the lasagna.

"Would you like to do the second layer?" Pepper asked.

Felicity nodded. Pepper grabbed the step stool. Felicity climbed on the step stool and did the second layer. She was slow at first, but got the hang of it after that.

"Wow, you did great. Go ahead and do the next one," said Pepper, keeping an eye on her. Pepper smiled. "Normally we would make two, but Thor had to go back to Asgard."

"What's Asgard?" Felicity asked.

"It's Thor's home. He comes when he is needed and will come to just visit sometimes, but he lives in Asgard," said Pepper.

"Oh. I like Thor. He's funny," said Felicity, smiling up at the woman. "He's really big."

"He is, isn't he?" Pepper responded, as she gave a laugh. "You're a natural at this," she said, of the lasagna.

"Am I done?" Felicity asked. The pan was full to the top. Once Pepper gave a nod, she stepped down.

She watched as Pepper put it in the oven.

Bruce entered the kitchen, after spending a couple of hours in his lab. He was ready for a break. He found out most of what he needed to know based on the test results. He walked over to the cabinets and pulled out a glass. Watching Pepper and the child interact brought a smile to his face. The girl was getting by quite nicely.

"How are you doing Felicity?" He asked the child as he poured himself a glass of milk.

"Okay. Ms. Pepper was teaching me how to make lasagna," the little girl responded, moving over to Bruce.

"Have you heard any of those voices today?" Bruce asked, referring to her power.

"When I woke up, but I covered my head with my pillow until it stopped," said Felicity. "Why do I hear them?"

Bruce put his glass down and got to her level. "What those people did to you back at H.Y.D.R.A made some changes to you. You can hear what people are thinking. I don't know if this is forever or just for a little while and I don't know what else you are going to be able to do, but that's what happened."

"Okay, is that why my head hurts?" She asked him, innocently.

Bruce gave a nod, "I'm going to help you with this. Okay?"

Felicity nodded.

"Hey, Mr. Bruce? Did you find my mom and dad?" Felicity asked, not that she remembered them, but she knew she must have had parents.

Bruce frowned, not wanting to tell her, but she'd eventually find out. "Walk with me," he said, taking his glass, heading out of the kitchen. Felicity followed as they walked towards the living room.

"Your parents, well, I know you don't remember them, but you should know this. There isn't an easy way to say it. There isn't a way to find them because they are no longer alive," Bruce said, sadly.

Felicity's breath hitched. She stopped in her tracks. If she had remembered them, she probably would broken down, but she was still saddened and overwhelmed by the news.

The two moved over to the couch.

"I'm so sorry," said Bruce as he moved closer to the girl, putting a hand on her back.

"I wish I remembered them," said Felicity, before burrying her face in her hands

"You will, someday," he said reassuringly, "I'll do what I can to help you."

Bruce looked down at the child as she had her face burried. The child leaned into him. In a way he was caught off guard, but felt compelled to put his arm around her. He had never been close to a child. This child trusted him. In a way he was worried being around children, because he can't always control the Hulk.

"I will say that we are looking for other family, such as your grandparents, aunts and uncles. Though, we do want you to stay here, at least for a little while, because of your ability," he said, looking down at her, keeping a comforting arm around her.
