"Then I found her crying out in the garden saying she failed over and over again" Clint explained to me about what happened while I was away in a secret meeting with Fury conserning Zaida and her temper. I rubbed my temples "Have you talked to the tempermental child'' I asked feeling annoyed with all of this, shes almost 20 she cant act like this. "I tried but she just locked her self in her room. She hasn't came out in four hours." Clint sighed.

"Hey guys whats up" Wasp said as she walked into the mansion. "Zaida has locked herself in her room" I replied. "Oh, maybe I could talk to her, girl to girl ya know" she shrugged.

Clint laughed "Didn't she just shock you this morning" he asked. "That's water under the bridge" she shoved it away. "Ya but you tend to tick her off most the time without even trying" Clint said under his breath. "Well do you have any thing that can cheer her up that won't back fire and have her be pissed off at me more. I thought for a moment then I remembered a charity event I had in two days to raise money to repair buildings damaged during the new York City battle.

" I have just the thing" I said then I told her "I'm holding a charity formal ball thing peppers idea if it was my choice it would be a full out party but peppers the head of the company so her choice. Any way you could see if Zaida would like to go" I said.

"That sounds fun I'll go ask" I said running up the stairs to Zaida's room. I paused before knocking then I knocked. "Come in" said a calm voice. I walked in expecting to see a trashed room when I saw a room with black a white sheets and a tiety desk and Zaida sitting in a grey arm chair reading a book. "Hey Zaida-" I stopped when she looked up, she had scars coming from her eyes that looked like tear streaks. I couldn't help but stare "Hi Janet" Zaida said happily. "I was wondering, well me and Tony and Clint to be correct was wondering if you would like to go to a charity ball in two days" I said quickly preparing for a blast of energy but none came.

"That sounds interesting, sure" she said going back to her book. I let out a sigh of relief turning to leave "Oh Janet this is a formal event right?" She asked. "Ya I believe it is" I said. "Then would you like to go shopping for dresses with me, I don't own any" Zaida asked I could see a little red coming to her cheeks. "Oh I would love to how about tomorrow because it's already really late tonight" I said yoaning. Zaida turned to the clock that read 9:14 pm "Oh I didn't realize it was already night. Good night Janet" Zaida said closing her book. I waved bye leaving her room with a pleased smile on my face. That went well.

The blankets felt like liquid on the skin. I smiled tomorrow was a clean slate with Janet and I'm going to make the best of it. My eye lids felt heavy yet they refused to close. I stared out at the night and the stars. There are so many, some would say that it makes them feel small and alone but to me I stared at the bright power they had to light up millions of light years away.

At least when I'm tiered the voice of my father from the past stops talking and I can think for once. The silence in the room though was unnerving it almost makes life seem normal. I pulled out my headphones and put some music on tho put me to sleep. What came on was dust land fairy tale by the killers. I sighed and feel into a deep slumber.

I have to say that shopping with Zaida was more pleasant than I thought it would be. Ok a lot more pleasant, she wouldn't stop smiling, never snapped at me or lit things ablaze, it was like finally having a little sister.

We went to a shop that specializes in dresses, I couldn't decide between A long v neck black dress or a short yellow dress with white butterflies on it. "You know, I think you take that whole wasp thing a tad bit too far" Zaida said grinning showing a tad with her fingers. "Ya but at least I have a name" I teased, she faked a hurt look.

"I do have a name It just hasn't reviled it's self yet" she said winking. "It doesn't come to you, you just have to come up with something catchy ya know" I said looking at the dresses again ugh why is this so hard. "I saw the yellow one, it looks pretty with your eyes" I threw the black one and went to pay. "Wait we need to get your dress, almost forgot" I face palmed, she just laughed. She went off with many dresses but never came out. "Do you want to show me" I said calling over the stall.

"No this is the one no need for opinion" she said walking out bag in hand, we went and payed. "Now let's go get our hair done" I squealed at her. Her face turned into a scowl. "No one touches my hair" she growled at me. I backed off "Ok only my hair" I put my hands up.

I walked into the salon leaving Zaida sitting on a bench. I guess she's protective of her hair who knew.

It's not that I didn't want my hair done in fact I needed to redye my ends it's just I saw a familiar patch of blond hair. When Janet went into the salon, I looked back and then ran towards the blond "Louie" I yelled whipping around a corner to an alleyway. "Shh Zaida over here" Louie whispered from behind a dumpster. I ran over wrapping him in my arms.

"Zaida I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry" he said crying. His eyes had bags under them and his hair one could tell hadn't been washed for a while. "I missed you so much Louie" I said still squeezing him. He pulled me off him "No you don't get it, I told them I told them" he whimpered. "Who, what? Louie I don't understand" I looked at him, I've never seen him so broken, he was always strong for me but this, this is a whole new side I've never seen.

"I told your dad where you are" he started crying again. My heart was filled with joy at the thought of my father but was soon replaced with hate, he betrayed my test. He did the one thing I told him never to do. The lights of the whole outdoor mall started to flicker. "You sold me out! Did the one thing i told you never to do, go to my dad! Heck I don't even know where he is and so you sought him out? For what dumb goal did you hope to accomplish?!" I screamed at him.

That's when every light in the mall blew. Sparks rained from street lights. People screamed and ran about, for some unknown reason I cackled. Louie ran off when the lights blew. My laughter echoed through the alleyway as I watched Louie run.

Driving back with Janet I couldn't help but glare, Louie and sold me out. "That was some black out don't ya think Zaida" Janet said while keeping her eyes on the road. "Yes it was quite amazing, I've never seen so many lights burst all at once" I said in a daze. Blackout, it has a nice ring to it.

Janet parked the car and we walked inside. Janet started to head off to her room "Hey Janet I think I know what I want my name to be" I told her. "Real what is it" she asked curiously. " Blackout "

I will love the light for it does me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars. ~Og Mandino
