Life has never been relatively easy, I thought to myself. While walking through the hallowed halls of the hospital's critical care unit. A few weeks before I was born my father passed leaving my mother alone, with me. I used to ask to see a picture or even get a name. I was always told no. It bothered me a lot when I was young. What did she have to hide? I always thought. It wasn't until Carlisle came into our lives I started to forget. I stopped caring about the one who was never here. And thought about who was. My Moms boyfriend. They started dating when I was 8. And soon after he started to bring out the best part of her. The part of her that enjoyed life. The part that made me enjoy life. A few years later we all moved to Washington Dc to be closer to Carlisle's work. He works for the government in research. And everything was fine, until…
"Carlisle!" mom cried out in pain from her room. We dropped the deck of cards we were using to play blackjack and ran to her room.
"What is going on? Are you ok?" I said frantically.
"Scarlett can you give us a minuit?" mom said. I sigh and say,
"Yeah." as I walk away worriedly. I knew this was serious because she never calls me by my full first name.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"I don't know, I just don't feel right."
"Let's go to the hospital, just to be sure. Your health is important to me Jas.(Jasmen)".
"I know." she said smiling. As they left the room and went to the hospital. We just assumed she has broncidence or the flu or something like that. We never expected the words that came next. It hit us all like a ton of bricks.
"I am so sorry but your mother has a new type of cancer." he paused and said "It's terminal." the doctor said.
"Is there a cure?" Carlisle asked heartbroken.
"We don't know. It's so new, they are testing cures in certain states." the doctor said.
"How long?" mom asked.
"Two years maybe." he said.
"Oh god" I cried out and ran out of the room. I heard someone behind me and I turned and crashed into Alex (a friend from school whose parents work with Carlisle). "Um hey." I said trying to make it look like I wasn't just crying.
"Are you ok?" he asked concerned.
"Yeah, yeah." I said trying to brush off the news.
"No, your not. Scar i've known you forever I know when something is wrong." he started.
"Why are you here?" I asked just wanting him to go.
"I volunteer here. Know what's wrong" he said. I sighed and replied
"My mom." was all I could get out.
"What happened?" he asked worried.
"Um, she was diagnosed with a new type of cancer. Terminal, two years if were lucky." I said heartbroken.
"I am so sorry!" he said hugging me as I try to push him away he says. "You don't have to be strong, you can let people help you. Catch you when you fall." he said
"Not all people, you." I said.
In the hospital room
"What are we going to do?" Jasmen asked.
"I don't know but we are going to get through it. He replied.
"What about Scarlet?" she asked worriedly.
"I will never let her down. You two have been the best thing to happen to my life. She is like my daughter." he stated.
"That's what I am worried about" Jas said.
"What are you talking about?" he asked confused.
"Do you remember, when we talked about marriage when Scar was at a friend's house?"
"Yeah why?" he replied.
"That was when I told you Scars dad is alive." she said.
"Yeah, you said he didn't want her and you decided to tell her he died." he said.
"I never told him" she stated.
"He doesn't know?" he asked.
"No he doesn't. Because at the time he was a playboy. Kind of a jerk. But now because of this when Scars DNA goes through his name will be the first thing that pops up." she said.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"Carlisle" Jas started to say when he asked again,
"Who is it?"
"His name is Tony (Anthony) Stark" she stated.
"Tony Freaking Stark! Iron Man!" he said completely fanboying.
"Yes, Tony Stark. Fanboy." she said smiling.
"Sorry, but that is really cool," he said.
"The problem is neither of them know. He's engaged and Scar is finally happy with life, she was before this." she said.
"This is not your fault!" he stated.
"What am I going to do? Scar just donated blood the other day. When her DNA goes through, the media will go crazy. And they both will find out through the internet. I can't believe I didn't think about her donating!" she stated.
"We can get the blood back" he said.
"No, it doesn't work like that.
"So we tell them. Both of them. Tony is engaged he won't want this getting out."
"That's not the only problem." she said.
"What is the other problem?" he asked. She sighed and said.
"If something goes wrong and I.."
"You can't think like that!" he stated.
"I have to, if something happens and I die. Tony is next of kin." she stated.
"She won't be able to stay with me." he said worriedly.
"No, since this is my condition. I won't be able to put you as garden because they question mental state. It will take years." she said.
"What do we do?" he asked.
"We call Tony." she stated.
Nine months passed and we decided to go to New York. They had type of experimental Chemo that they were testing. So we went. Alex came along. We had gotten close in the recent months. We actually started training together (both were in mixed martial art) and after a while we started dating. We took training a step forward when started going out into the world, more like the city and helped people. Some people call it vegalantism we called it hope. It started about five months ago when we witnessed a robbery. We ran to help and took him down. It gave us an idea. To pick a city around DC and help. We thought it was funny when we chose Forks Washington. But it turned into something so much more. I became Black Star and Alex became Nightfury. I used throwing stars and MMA and Alex used MMA. We rode into town with our bikes (mine a 2012 purple motorcycle and his was a black 2011 motorcycle.) We took the plates off to avoid the police even though what we are doing is helping a broken city. According to the police and the law we are vegelanties.
Tony Stark's POV
"Tony!" Happy yelled as he burst into his office holding a folder that was labeled classified.
"Happy if I don't answer the first 3 times you called me it means im working." Tony said annoyed.
"Yeah I know and if this wasn't urgent I wouldn't have called you!" he said annoyed as he dropped the folder on his desk and said "you have to see this!" he said as Tony picked up the folder and read it. "How?" Tony said.
"I don't know. I just found out through Vision we but a blood tracer algorithm that matches your blood DNA in case you were ever taken and it popped up as a teen blood donor named Scarlet Black."
"Black that last name sounds familiar. Jarvus find out if she is somehow related to a Jasmine Black." Tony said.
"Yes according to her birth record she was born October 25, 2002 which makes her close to 15, the mother on her birth certificate is indeed Jasmine Black and the father said unknown. But Scarlet has a man named Carlisle as an emergency contact."
"Why didn't she tell me?" Tony asked himself as Happy said.
"You know this girl?" Happy asked.
"Yes, we dated for a long time and I left I had no idea she was pregnant. She didn't tell me! I have missed the first 14 years of my child's life! How could she not yell me?" he asked.
"Sir that's not all according to medical records Jasmine Black is terminal with a new type of cancer that could cost her, her life in the next year."
"I won't let my child become an orphan Jarvous can you get me her contact information please."
"Of course sir."
