Silver Heart

"Wait, what?" Phoenix said as she dropped her whipped cream onto the floor.
"Damn it!" She scolded herself. She wasn't expecting the news.
Sarah was crying into the phone. "He will be leaving next week. They need him in Qatar." She cried.
Phoenix wanted to bang her head against the wall. It hasn't even been a month since Will came home and was told the news that Sarah was pregnant. He received a letter yesterday and he will be stationed over there at the US base.
"How long will he be gone?" Phoenix asked as she grabbed a rag and started to clean her floor. She hated the fact that she cleaned the floor before she even started working on her Fuji apple pie. It was a new recipe too.
"He'll be gone for a year and a half. He won't even get to hold his first child." Sarah cried into the phone.
Phoenix was suspecting that Will would have been stationed somewhere in the Middle East some time, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Okay, do you want me to come over to the house with Vanilla and chocolate ice cream?" She said as she tossed her rag into the laundry bin. She heard Sarah whimper out a yes.
"I'll be over in a bit okay? I just need to take care of the animals." She said as she gave out a good-bye, before she hung up.
She finished up putting the whipped cream on her apple pie and she took a step away before she decided to have a little snip of the whipped cream and put it in her mouth. She was a damn good cook, and she wasn't going to let her pie go to waste. She took care of the animals outside and quickly wrapped up the pie and grabbed a tub of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. She was just about to grab her keys when she felt a sharp pain in her head and ringing in her ears.
She fell to her knees in pain and writhed on the floor as bright light flashed behind her eyes. She heard the voices again. A blend of voices of a different language that made her head hurt. Symbols flashed across her vision and her body felt like it was over heating and she couldn't scream. Pain blossomed from her heart and it spread everywhere. Then as suddenly as the pain came, it was gone. The voices dulled to a quiet whisper and she opened her eyes. Her vision blurred and she was panting hard. He lungs felt like they were burning and she struggled to get up. She looked at herself and she saw the glowing veins on her arms. This time, the glowing lines were more prominent and for the first time in her life… she felt scared. She never had this happen before, so why is it happening now? Is it a prolonged side affect?
"Maybe I should go to Sector 7 and see what they can do for me?" She froze. She did not just think that.
She felt her anger surface and she pounded the countertop and frustration.
"Why should I care? They were the ones who made me like I am. I owe them nothing." She seethed.
She took a few deeps breaths and let them out slowly. At this, she could feel her body cool down and the glowing faded away. She shuddered. This was the second time this has happened to her. The first time was when she got out of the shower 5 weeks ago, and then now. She shook her head fiercely. She had time to think about this. She'll figure it out later. Right now, she had to go and visit Sarah. She was probably crying her eyes out by now. She grabbed the bag of ice cream and her apple pie and left the house, wondering what she should do with herself.
Sarah was now in bed. Her hormones were raging when Phoenix came over and she wouldn't stop crying. She ate half the tub of ice cream and half the apple pie that she made. After watching the Titanic, she made Sarah go to bed early before Will came home. She was cleaning up the kitchen when he came in. Since the Lennox's met Phoenix, they enjoyed having her company whenever she would come over. Will dropped his duffel bag onto the floor before sighing and sat on the kitchen stool over the isle counter. She put the last of the dishes away and turned around. Will had his face in his hands and she shook her head.
"I heard everything from Sarah. How long will you be gone?" She asked as she laid her arms on the isle. Will didn't speak as he looked up at Phoenix with empty eyes.
Then, "They said that I would be gone for about 10 to 14 months. I…don't want to be gone that long. I'll be missing Sarah's…" He trailed off. Phoenix nodded. She understood. Will laid his head on the counter.
"Hey Nyx…what would you do…I mean, you may not be married, but if you were and you had to go to war, what would you do?" He said in a quiet voice.
Phoenix tilted her head. "I would most defiantly make sure I spent time with my loved on before I get deported. Last I checked, you had a lot of vacation days. Why not go to Vegas or somewhere for a short time? I'm sure you and Sarah need the time." She said as she smiled.
The light in Will's eyes sparked and he smiled a little.
"I'll have to do that." He said as he slid off the stool and started to leave, but he turned back and looked at her.
"Thanks Nyx. I'm glad that Sarah and I have a good friend like you." He said as he left the room.
"No problem. I'll see myself out. You can have the rest of the pie. I have to go home anyways. See you later." She said as she gathered up her stuff and went over to the door.
"Take care, Will. Enjoy your time with your wife!" She said smiling before going out of the home.
As she got to her car, she looked back to the Lennox home. She envied the Lennox's yet again. Will was a good man and he would do anything to take care of Sarah. He wanted nothing more than to support her and love her. Sarah would make sure he has a good head on his shoulders and keep him grounded. She had that once…but she didn't dwell on that part of her past. She got into her car and went back home. Thinking about what she should do to help Sarah after Will left for Qatar.
Phoenix was pacing back and forth in her home. She received a call from the Katsilomete's. Apparently they will be returning earlier than expected. They will be home in a month. Sarah was 8 months along and Will was in Qatar. She did not need this. She now has to find another home before the Katsilomete's come home. She grew attached to this place. The farm animals had a new addition to the farm, a little white calf she called Neva, and she enjoyed being here. Of course, she usually wouldn't be so attached to a place like this, but she loved the rustic feel of the home she now has lived in for the past 9 months. Her contract with the Katsilometes that owned the house will be terminated in 4 weeks. She had to find a home that was at least close to here. She didn't want to leave Sarah here alone.
She was searching on the web for a home in Tranquility, A small city about 346 miles away from the Lennox Farm. It wouldn't be too much of a drive; she has enough time in her life to make the best of it. She found a home that would be nice to buy. It was a nice home, two stories high, 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large kitchen and basement and a living room. She could do that. She looked at the pricing of the house and thought it was so-so. It was a pretty good price for the house. So she set up an appointment for an agent to help her look through the home. She does not want to leave Sarah, and she couldn't take on the offer of living at her home.
She looked back at the picture of the house on her computer and nodded. It would be for the best anyways, but she will always keep in touch with Sarah and Will.
It was two weeks before the elderly couple would be coming home. She went to Tranquility to look at the neighborhood and her new home that she will be buying. It was a pretty simple Suburban town. It was quiet as can be. She met up with the agent and showed her around.
"Not very many people would be in this house. The neighbors next door are a bit…eccentric." The agent said cautiously.
Phoenix tilted her head in confusion and wanted to ask why…until she heard a crash.
"RONALD WITWICKY! THIS TV SUCKS!" She heard a loud screech as they went into the back yard.
"Judy, we'll get a new TV, it was bound to crap out anyways." Another voice said.
The agent and Phoenix looked over the fence and saw a couple on the porch. A skinny woman had her arms crossed and had a stern look on her face. A man, her husband most likely, was explaining to her that they would be getting a new TV in the next month.
"Okay fine, but we get TVIO for this, I want to keep watching my Soaps and you can't say shit about it!" She said as she stormed back into their house, her husband following her soon after.
Phoenix slowly backed away from the fence…and giggled. "They seem like fun neighbors." She said as she walked back into the house, the agent giving her a strange look as she did so.
She bought the house and paid in full. She didn't mind spending the money, just as long as she moderates the money and doesn't let the feds know about her, she'll be fine. As she went back home, she was about to take a nap when she received a call from Sarah. She heard screaming from the phone.
"NYX! MY WATER BROKE! THE BABY'S COMING!"
Phoenix had no time to spare. She quickly got her keys and tore out the door and stumbling on the last step and crashed into the ground. She didn't pay any mind to the dirt on her as she jumped into the car and tore up the road as she went to Sarah and took her to the hospital, pushing her bronco to the limit. The nearest hospital was 30 miles into the city. Let's just say that she had cops on her tail and didn't stop until she parked right there in front of the hospital.
"Hehe, sorry officers." She said smiling shyly.
She was speaking to twenty cops that were on her tail and Sarah was currently in the labor room delivering her child. One of the cops, the chief, was glaring at her.
"You see, my friend and I live out in the country, that's why I had to speed so much." She said as she looked down in embarrassment.
She was let off with a warning, only because Sarah was in labor and threatened to kill Phoenix and anyone else with a frying pan. They expected Phoenix to follow the law from here on out. She was currently outside of the doors to the labor room and she was sitting down fidgeting. Without Will here, she was the only person that Sarah could rely on for now. She took out her iPhone and started to hack into the Army database to see if she could get Will to skype when Sarah gets home. She smirked when she found his army email address and sent a message to him saying that Sarah was having his kid now. She wondered what his reaction would be.
The doctor came out and went over to Phoenix. "Are you Mrs. Lennox's friend?" He asked.
She nodded. "Yes, is she okay?" She asked in a worried tone.
The doctor smiled and nodded.
"Yes, she is fine. She delivered a healthy baby girl, she is up for visitors now." He said as he let Phoenix pass her and she went into the room.
She saw Sarah on the bed holding a little bundle. Phoenix for the first time felt shy. She never had born a child, so this was an experience that she will take for granted. She hesitantly took steps toward Sarah; she was currently glowing with happiness and tears. She looked up at Phoenix and smiled brightly. "She's beautiful. I named her Annabelle. Will and I decided that if it was a boy, we'd name him Joshua, if it were a girl, it would be Annabelle. She so…perfect." Sarah choked up. Phoenix stepped a little closer to the bed and looked at the swaddled infant.
She couldn't help but smile and coo over the newborn.
"Wow, she so cute! And she has a lot of hair too." She gushed.
Sarah chuckled. "Yeah, I guess she gets that from daddy huh?" She said as she kissed her newborn daughter's head.
"Yeah, you made a good looking baby that's for sure…she looks more like you though." Phoenix giggled.
Sarah nodded along, happy that she delivered a healthy baby girl. Suddenly Phoenix felt her pocket vibrate and she took out her phone and answered it.
"Is Sarah okay? What about the baby? There hasn't been any complications right?" Will was spouting off all sorts of questions and Phoenix had to slightly send a shock to her phone to get Will to calm down.
"Will! Everything is alright…here's Sarah." Phoenix said as she handed the phone to Sarah as she passed Annabelle to her.
Phoenix was looking at the little baby in surprise. She took a seat on the other side of the room while Sarah was speaking to Will with tears.
"She's so perfect…I wish you could see her now."
Phoenix tuned out Sarah and looked at the swaddled child in her arms. She felt her heart break a little. She always wanted a child…but she would never have one. But for now…she decided to just hold the little girl. Just to understand what it is like to hold a child in her arms. For now, she let her heart open and enjoyed her time with her dear friend and her new child.
The Katsilomete house was empty and the movers have already taken everything to her new home. She went out earlier to See Sarah and her baby girl before she left and Sarah said to visit whenever she can. She said that she would try her best to visit every two weeks and call whenever she could. She went out the back door with her backpack on and she went to the stables. The dogs, Goliath and Max, were wagging their tails at her. She petted them and made sure that their food bowls are full. She double checked the cows and made sure that their feed was enough for them. She even petted little Neva who licked her hand. "I'll miss you too." She said to the white calf as she finished petting it.
She went over to the horse stalls and checked to see if they need any last cleaning. Satisfied that everything is cleaned up, she moved onto Black Storm's Stall. The horse knew she was leaving. He was affectionately nibbling her hair and she giggled.
"Storm stop." She said smiling. She was going to miss the big guy.
"Hey, I'll see you next time." She said as she patted his neck. She will miss riding the horse. She gave a last goodbye to the stable and went to her car.
She turned back as she threw her backpack into her car and looked back at the house that she once occupied. She had a lot of parties in this house. The Christmas when Will accidentally gave Sarah spiked eggnog, she was singing karaoke show tunes all night long. The Halloween party when Sarah and Phoenix dressed up as Army buffs and Will being dressed as a snooty rich person, it was on a dare. The New Years when the three were enjoying a night with watching a movie marathon. She will treasure the many memories she had here in the country. She got in her car, trying not to cry.
"Life goes on I guess, but the friends you make will always be with you." She said to herself. She sent out a pulse of blue into her car.
"Okay, let's go to Tranquility, I wonder what adventures will be there for me?"
TAL21:Okay, so i'm going to get the ball rolling here! If it seems rushed, it's not. It's just little snippets of Phoenix hanging out with the Lennox's up to the point where we have Nyx meeting Sam. It's going to be AWESOME! Also, With Collage and all this other crap, It will take time for me to put up another chapter, so please be patient with me! And the REVIEWS that i have gotten since the last chapter, seriously guys, i really appreciate the reviews you send in, it really helps me to keep writing this story and other stories as well! You are AWESOME! :D Here are some SHOUT-OUTS to the people that have left great reviews!
Tori-da-Mutt: I'm glad that you enjoy this story a bunch! It was rough when i got a flame, but hey, if it weren't for the Reviews and follows that i have gotten, I probably would have deleted this story the moment i have gotten a flame. Thanks for supporting Silver heart!
General TheDyingTitan: I wouldn't say that my character is a mary-sue, i just took a completely different direction of the Movie and just incorporated my idea into this. Plus the definition of mary-sue is basically a character that is all powerful and can do a whole bunch of crap that no one else can do. Phoenic may have a sue-like name, but she has faults just like every one else. I hate over-powering my characters because i think it's just ridiculous. Anyways, thank you for your support and i hope that you enjoyed this chapter! :D
Bee4ever:Haha! Yes! There are a lot of stories where the OC's meet/know Sam since the very beginning. Personally, there is nothing wrong with that, but i wanted to take it elsewhere before she meets him. PLus, i think the Lennox's deserve a little love. Don't worry, there will be more Lennox interaction soon! THank you for for the support and I'm glad that you enjoyed this!
Well, i want to give another Shout-out to a new friend of mine that lives in my area that helps me out with my writing! OriginalWritingis a great guy to hang with and he may be older than myself, but he has helped me out a lot to keep me writing! He said that this story shows potential ad well as my other stories too! So in a way, he is my beta! Thank you! :D
Okay, now that we are done with shout outs, i shall continue on. My mind has been on the AVENGERS universe for quite some time and trust me, it bite when you have another fandom invade your stories and you don't get crap done, so forgive me is i don't update for another month. XD BUTi will be asking this, give my previews a shot on my profile. They are a Loki/OC and Bruce/OC stories. S.H.I.E.L.D's Hellhoundand Blind Frost. Give those a shot if you can and tell me on my polls which one you want to to work on. I probably won't get around to them until i finish TWOStories. Which would most Likely be Silver Heartand The Dead Tell No Tales.But give them a shot and tell me witch one i should do! Again, if i don't update in the next month, it's because i'm obsessed with the Avengers.
Seriously, Tom Hiddleston makes a great Loki and now i'm a Hiddlestoner. Yup..i'm that obsessed now! XD But that won't keep me away from writing! REMEMBER TO GIVE OPINIONS AND REVIEWS! They help me out a lot and it would be great to hear from you guys! Remember to keep on reading and Imagining! :)
