I do not own Marvel.
Hello my friends it has been a while! Im so sorry about being late. What i'm really sorry about is this USELESS chapter.
This overgrown piss of shit is just here to take up time while I think things a bit more.
So yeah, my grammar sucks and my story sucks!
Begin
"Agent Hermes, Agent Spider and Agent Ghost." Fury was talking but I couldn't hear him clearly. I could barely stand, and my vision was getting blurry. What the fuck was happening?! I could feel something, something was coming up from my stomach. I forced it down and tried my best to focus. "-and though it was blood and messy." Dear God I could feel it coming back again up again. "You finished the mission, good job." Good job, good job. Yeah I- we did a good job. It was a good jo- And I'm puking...
"Barry!" May screamed as she held me. "Oh my God are you okay!"
Yeah I'm perfectly fi-blurg!
Oh look that tooth I swallowed...
I my legs gave way but luckily May was already holding me.
"Take him to the med bay, now!" Fury barked, I was going to say something but I couldn't. I felt too dizzy and my stomach was doing flips. I wanted to puke but there was nothing to puke out anymore. My fast metabolism was fucking me over...
I felt myself move and didn't bother to struggle.
"Barry you're gonna be fine, I promise we'll get through this?" Such sweet words May was saying, if only my spinning head could come up with a reply!
"Blah blah blah..." The fuck was that?! I meant to say...I...Meant...to...say
"He's blacking out!"
...
...
...
"May it's been five hours," Natasha said softly. "Please you have to rest." The poor girl sat firmly next to her friend. Said friend was softly snoring.
"Mistress I...I made a promise," May said without turning to at her Handler. "When he needed me the most I wasn't there and I hurt him. I was weak and it cost me the boy I love. I will never be week again and I will never hurt him again, this I swear." May had determination in her eyes. The first thing May did was take off her uniform, take a shower and come to Barry's room. There she held his hand in her own.
"I...I know you and Ma think I should just give up on him but I love him. I made a mistake that hurt him and I will make sure that never happens!" May was openly crying and the Black Widow felt a ping at her heart. This girl was hopelessly in love...
Natasha Romanoff had made a decision that day, to help May in every way she could.
"P-please don't order me to leave," May cried. Widow slowly walked to the crying girl and held her shoulders.
"There there my little Spider..." She whispered. "You can take all the time you need."
...
...
...
For the past two days, I've been sick. My sleep schedule has taken a hit and I'm now a night owl. May has been taking care of me most of the time. I watch her sleep at night, stroking her hair as I drown in my emo thoughts. Next to me was a sleeping Laura, it seemed our plan worked.
The plan was for Laura to act Berserk every time she wasn't near me. The story is that she only wants to be near me because I saved her life. Tear us apart and she'll tear you apart...
Not really, I told her to hold back a bit...
So if she's not near me she won't talk and Fury's been very interested in this...The facility. Speaking of Fury, he came by this morning. Told me May and I have three months off unless otherwise. Cool right? Also to drain every single information the clone had. According to Laura, Fury had asked her about Wolverine. Of course, at the time Laura was in character so she couldn't answer him. So they dumped her in my room aboard the Helicarrier. Shield didn't torture her, just aggressively asked questions. I guess they want answers the easy way...
I get off my bed and gently put May in the space. She mumbled something before beginning to snore loudly. Laura was silent, though she did look cute sleeping...
Speaking of Sleeping, Laura can sleep! My speed force this girl only wakes up to eat, bath, use the toilet and then she goes right back to sleep.
Wonder why she sleeps so much...
Filling that for later, Right now I gotta take a shit.
Except I don't take a shit...
I start contemplating my existence in this vast multiverse...
...This better be a phase.
-Next Day-
"I want you to do me a favor," the Black widow says as I stare at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Is that an order..." I ask, I was currently in my room reading the pdf files on my tablet. I downloaded a couple of science books to help with boredom and the random burst of wanting to explore the universe.
"No,"
"... what's in it for me?" I ask as she stares at me before sighing.
"I made a grave mistake, May was not ready for that mission. Now she's... changed." Widow says as a soft look crosse's her face. "My little Spider is in pain and I can't be there for her. I have an undercover job I'll be going to. I want you to be there for her, make her feel needed, make her feel like she's your world. And I also want you to make sure she never has to kill again. For this, you will get ten favors from me."
"Favours like what?" I ask as I put the tablet down. She has my full attention.
"Whatever you want," She shrugs. "Sex, someone killed, or even information."
"...Sex?" Why is widow doing all this? For someone, she trained for a few months.
"I can give it to you right now if you want." She says it so casually.
"Information?"
"If I know it or if I can find it."
Holy shit!
"Does F-fury know about this?" I ask as she shakes her head no. "So any information, even infor on people?"
"Yes, but with an exception. Clint Burton. I will not give you any info on or related to him." She says sternly. "Other than that, everything is a free game."
"Okay I accept, and I would like to call in my first favor." I say and see her stiffening, she thinks I want sex. I do but now's not the time. I'm in a weird funk and might end up embarrassing myself. "Tell me why, why are you doing this?"
"...I don't know how to deal with emotion, deep emotion that is. I can emote, I have basic feelings like happiness, sadness, rage, and others. But I can not empathize with others, inside I feel nothing. I'm empty. I've killed many, and haven't felt a single thing. I sleep like a baby."
Damn...
"...I don't want May to become like me, she's got a heart of gold even a heartless bitch like me can recognize. Fury wanted me to beat that naivety out of her, I couldn't. At least not going to lengths that would scar her, turn her into what they turned me into. My little Spider wants to be a beacon of hope and I believe she can achieve that dream." Widow says as I scoff.
"That's well and good but you yourself have seen first hand that most people can't be forgiven. They are rotten to the core and redemption is not an option for them." I say as she remains silent. But honestly, I also want to become a hero, not a type of hero that let the bad guy blow up a hospital or orphanage just to grab my attention. (looking at you Batman!) One that actually does something, makes an impact. But I don't want to show Mercy to people who don't deserve Mercy either. Spider-man is a great example of a Hero does good but rarely gets a happy ending. Do you know how long it took him to marry MJ?! Plus this one time his body was taken over by Doc ock, the guy messed up everything for Peter, his love life, relationship with friends, fellow heroes and even aunt May! Doc Ock later died but it was a peaceful death, one that come when the mad doctor found inner peace. When pete returned to his body, well he was left with the fallout. MJ his girlfriend at the time had separated from him(Doc Ock) and found love elsewhere with like some firefighter. One other time was when everything was going great, he and MJ were just about to tie the not when aunt May died. Long story short MJ and Peter made a deal with the devil to bring her back at the cost of...I forget but it's something to do with them forgetting they love each other and Peter is miserable. At least MJ is happy and about to marry Harry!
Moral of the story, I hate Spiderman comics!!!
"I don't want her to sacrifice her innocence over some low life scam," Wido-Natasha's face was stoic but I could see it. For a split second she was absolutely pissed. It was both arousing and terrifying.
"What about my innocence?" I ask jokingly.
"...I don't care for you," At least she's honest. "May has been taking care of you, she bathed you when you puked and fell in said puke. She's constantly by your side and-
"I get, I get! You don't have to use the guilt trip on me I'll do it." I say as she nods and gets up.
"Nine favours," She's says and I nod. As Natasha lives I can't help but gulp in absolute fear. Why are things going so fucking well for me?! I was already gonna do what she asked in the first place!
May has been taking care of me, tending to my every need. I'm like this cause I killed people May did the same and she's taking care of me...
She's burying it...
The sickness that comes after you kill someone.
I planned to comfort her. Plus I don't think I'll just randomly kill people now, this funk I'm in is not great I tell. Plus I think my powers are being affected by this and they're just making it even worse. I wonder if that's the same case with May.
The point I'm trying to make is that I have Laura Kinney aka X-23, Ava Starr aka Ghost and Now I have the Black widow as well. Things have gone so well for me and I'm hardly trying. The only thing I'm focused on is Project Oracle...
I genuinely afraid something bad is coming my way...
...

-Few days later-
"Do you think he'll like the banner?" Harriet questioned nervously. "Is it like, too much!"
"It is, but Liz and the cheer squad are a bit over-excited," Gwen answered as they looked up at a giant banner at the top of the school entrance. On it were the words...
WELCOME HOME BARRY AND MAY!!!
"You think they'll like it?" Harriet was nervous and excited. Her hands were shaking as she stood next to her friend. Gwen was giving her an amused look but she was just as excited.
"Maybe," Gwen shrugged. "We haven't seen them for six months, who knows what they like now."
...
...
"Harri..."
"Yeah..."
"So how's your mom?"
"She's fine, why do you ask?" Harriet raised an eyebrow at her friend, said friend just shrugged.
"No reason..."
"And mom says I should be more like you..." Harriet grumbled at what a weirdo her friend was being.
Just then, Liz Allen and the cheer squad came running out of the school with squeals of excitement.
"They're here!" And following behind them was the entire class. It was still a school day so other classes were in class. The class gathered at the steps of the entrance just as a black car pulled up.
Liz said something to her friends but Harriet could hardly hear. Her heart was pounding so hard and loud it felt like it was in her head. The car door opened and they stepped out. Her long-time friends she's known since middle school came out of the car. And she hardly recognized them.
"The fuck is in those meatballs over there..." Harriet muttered as she stared at her friends. She heard Gwen grumble something Sweden and Switzerland being two different things entirely.
Barry and May looked taller, and dare she say hotter. Barry's hair was short and he'd shaved it in the side a bit. May cut her hair short, it gave off a sexy tomboy look. And behind them was a teenage girl with black hair and a hoodie way too big for her silently follow.
"Barry!" Liz had all but leaped into his hands and the tall teen easily caught her.
"Hey cousin," He greeted as he gave liz a playful spin.
"My Gosh you look amazing!" Liz exclaimed as Barry put her down.
"Thank you," He smiled sheepishly. "Why's everyone outside?"
"We're here to welcome you back! Everyone was worried sick about you!" Liz said as everyone cheered. "Well the girls at least, the guys just wanted to skip class." The girls laughed while some of the boys jeered playfully. "Just kidding, but in all honesty, our star basketball player and upcoming star are very important to this school."
While Liz talked Barry's ear off, May silently walked towards Harriet and Gwen. The closer she got the more Harriet felt dread in her heart. May was in great shape and looked beautiful. How the fuck was she going to compete with that?!
"...Hey guys," May said as gave her two best friends a sad smile. "I missed you guys."
"Of course you did, your life would be boring without us!" Gwen grinned. She then nudged Harriet in the side with her very sharp elbows. "We both missed you very much. Both of us!"
"I...I know we fought but-" Harriet found herself in a three-way hug. May had grabbed both her friends into a tight hug.
"I...I love guys so much! I know I've been a bitch lately and I'm sorry!" May was openly crying into the hug. It truly was a touching scene, three childhood friends who haven't seen each other in six months finally reunited!
"Okay okay, we get it you missed us! Now stop putting snort and tears on my Metallica T-shirt!" And Gwen ruined it...
"S-sorry," May laughed as she wiped her tears. "I'm so happy to see you guys, plus now we can catch up on our daily gossip."
"Oh, I have so much to tell you, like which two guys were caught making out in the lockers!" Harriet fault she threatened by May. But at the end of the day, May was still her best friend...
"Gossip queens..." Gwen muttered with a slight smile. It looked like the Troublesome Trio were back!
...
...
...
"So much has changed around here," Harriet said as she dragged Barry by the hand. Before the Lunch bell had gone off she had grabbed him by the hand and dragged him out the door. The girl Laura following behind them. The homeroom teacher introduced the mystery girl as Laura kinney, a foreign exchange student from Canada. She's rooming with Barry since he lives alone in an entire three bedroom house. Why they let a girl stay with a guy in an entire house by themselves was a mystery to Harriet. And fell up to Barry to show her around, help her get settled in.
"Two people leave for a few months and an entire school changes because of it?" Barry said as the walked. "I call bull..."
"You'll see," Harriet said as she grabbed Barry shoved him behind a corner. "Let's watch..." All three hid behind a corner.
"Ah what are we waiting for?" Barry asked as Harriet shushed him.
"Just watch," She said and they did. The lunch bell rang and students begun walking out the door, chatting animatedly about one thing or another. Soon a tall blonde walking by himself came out, only for a nerdy looking teen holding pile of books to bump into him.
Some one had just bumped into Eugene Thompson,the King of Mid-town high! Oh the poor fool.
Barry was about to go rescue the poor nerd when Harriet stopped him. He gave her a raised eyebrow and she, in turn, motioned for him to keep watching.
"Sss-Sorry about that!" The poor boy cried as he tried to scramble to his feet. His bumping into Eugene's large frame made him fall.
"It's cool," Eugene shrugged as he helped the boy up. Eugene then knelt and helped him pick his books. "Just be careful next time, bro." The blonde said and was on his merry way.
Harriet couldn't help but laugh at Barry's expression. His mouth was open and his eyes were wide.
"The fuck was that?!" He asked, shocked at what he had just seen.
"Yep, things have changed around here," Harriet said. Truth be told Harriet had paid the nerd off. He was willing cause he knew Eugene wouldn't do anything bad to him. In the past six months, Eugene has...turned his life around. He helped whenever he could, and no longer complained a lot. "Eugene has turned a new leaf, no longer the bully you left," Harriet explained.
"Is it some kind of play, is he pretending?" Barry asked as he narrowed his eyes.
"I don't like the guy," Harriet confessed. "But these past months, I've seen him go through a lot. When he changed, from being a rich kid jock who only liked to party and throw around money." Barry gave her a look. "Don't look at me like that I actually do well in school!"
"So you don't throw money around?"
"...Let me finish my story!" She pouted as he laughed. "When he stopped partying and throwing money around. All his so-called friends left him, Brad, and the guys barely talk to him outside of basketball. Sure he has a few friends here and there but the guy is kinda lonely. He stopped being a jerk and he now genuinely looks happier. He's once failing grades are now up there with best, well not you and Gwen best but still pretty good."
"Why?" Barry silently asked. "Why'd he change?"
"Because of you," Harriet answered. "Imagine picking on a kid and the next day he dies. The guilt must have been unbearable. Then when they told us you went to another country to be treated...
...
...
...
The more things change...
The fuck did Fury tell everyone at school?! That I was dying and needed emergency treatment?! What the hell!
So I spent most of my time spying on Eugene, yep he's changed. But just to be sure I had Laura spy on him as well.
"... he's just a guy. He doesn't necessarily go out of his way to help people but when someone in front of him needs help he'll help," Laura says with a shrug. "People usually say hi to him but not many people go out of their way to seat next to him. I saw him eating by himself at lunch."
I blinked.
So by giving me Black widow the universe has taken something, my revenge. Technically it was Barry's revenge but still, I had plans! Plans that involved a 10-inch dildo! But now the guys changed, turned over a new leaf and he's going about life like a regular person. These past six months must have been hell. His so-called friends abandoning him and he finally getting a taste of what it feels like. Physically he is fine, but mentally...
Now shoving a dildo up the ass of someone who is trying to change will make me be the very thing I hate. A bully...
Not only that but a bully with power...
I'm a hypocrite with power, I'd rather be that than a bully.
"Hellooo earth to Barry!" I blinked at the hand waving In front of my face. I know it's Gwen, she's been trying to get my attention for a while. By a while, I mean few seconds. I was so deep in thought my powers kicked in and I was thinking in over drive. It's pretty cool but seeing everyone in slow motion or just paused just doesn't feel right.
"Gwen," I say with a raised eyebrow.
"Ah what's with you?" She asked as I shrug. "So me and the girls are going to Harriet's place for a sleep over. You up for it?"
"You want a guy at you're sleep over?" I ask as she Shrugs.
"What, it's not like you have anything planned for the weekend." Gwen says as I go to protest.
"Of course I do..." I say pathetically. "I...I have to show Laura around town."
"You just thought of that right now..." Gwen stares blankly.
"No?"
"Okay fine but Harriet got us VIP passes to The STARK EXPO this weekend. You better not have an excuse to ditch!" Gwen states with a glare.
"I won't," I say with a nervous laugh. She stares at me for a few seconds before nodding and walking away.
I would have loved to catch up with them but I have someone to talk to...
...
...
...
"You sure he's changed?" Rosa asks as she hands me a white hoodie with a neon green lightning bolt on its front. After school, I decided to go straight to Rosa's, cause where else am I gonna go?
"I...I think he has," I say as I put on the hoodie. "it's a bit too tight. I like my hoodies loose."
'kay," Rosa says as I take off the hoodie. "Try this one," I hand her the white one while she gives me a black one with a neon blue symbol. "So what are you gonna about it?"
"I don't know," I say honestly as I put on the hoodie. "Fits me well."
"Cool," Rosa nods as she grabs the white hoodie from the table. "Laura you want this?" The girl standing at the corner of the room Laura stares with blank eyes.
"No thank you, I like mine. " Laura says as she hugs herself. The black slightly oversized hoodie she's wearing is one of mine. She saw it, took it and said it was hers.
"I can tell it's eating you up inside," Rosa says as she sits on the table. "You had this plan to get back at him but he's a good guy. You want to get back at him but some part of you knows it's wrong. Life's kinda funny that way."
"Since when are you this wise?"
"I just tell it like I see it," Rosa says with a shrug. "You should talk with the guy face to face. And just let it out."
...
...
...
-Next day-
School Gym.
"H-hey Barry," Eugene says with a nervous wave. "Haven't seen you in a while."
I had dragged him to the gym as soon as I saw him. Eugene and I had some stuff to work out.
"I've been busy," I reply, I'm trying to get a read on the guy. He's nervous and I can use that. "And so have you it seems."
"I don't know what your-
"Cut the bullshit Eugene," I cut him off. "Tell me the truth, you owe me at least that much."
Eugene seems to think it over before sighing. "I...On the day of the trip when you caught May and me. You ran and May followed you. But I did as well, I was worried and running behind May when..." He swallows hard before continuing. "Your body was burnt to a crisp, you were nothing but a burnt corpse on the floor and it was my fault. Two days passed and I couldn't sleep, one of the butlers at home recommended I see a psychiatrist." Funny, you'd think it was his parents. "...So I did. I explained everything and she helped me out. In our sessions we found out the reason why I was keen on making your life hell." This should be good. "I-I was in-no I had fallen for you." Did not see that coming. "Funny right? I was having these feelings and I didn't know what to do. If I was gay, what would my parents think? What would my friends think? I didn't...I didn't know how to handle my situation and just lashed out. In my head it was your fault I was like this, so I lashed out at you. I...I regret what I did and I'm genuinely sorry. When you came back I wanted to make amends."
"By throwing a basketball at my head?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"That wasn't me, it was Brad," Eugene says as I pause. Come to think of it he was very nice to me when I first arrived.
"Soooo you're gay or..."
"No I was just going through puberty," Eugene says with a laugh. "Dr. Martin says it's something teens go through."
"Cool," I say as I stare at him. "I'm gonna punch you now."
"And I deserve it," Eugene nods as he spreads his arms out. "Whenever you're- I punch him so hard in the stomach he falls to his knees and pukes. "That ah...you have a strong punch..." He manages to say as I help him up.
"Come on buddy, let's take you to the nurse," I say as I help him walk.
"I...I should clean that up..." Eugene weakly says as he points at the puddle of vomit.
"Nah don't worry about it," I say as I drag his ass to the Nurse's room. "I'm sure someone will clean it up."
...
...
...
The class was the same as before, boring. I spent most of my free time studying, everything in highschool I know. I finished the syllabus and this is just a revision for me.
At least the girls made it fun.
The three have bonded, practically inseparable.
Good for them.
I left them to do their thing and just watched from the side.
Soon the school was over, the boy's basketball team had practice today so headed to the gym. Of course, Laura silently followed. She was seated in the bleachers, silently watching.
While I...I was benched. The new coach benched me, saying how they had practiced and had a game plan that didn't involve me. The new coach is a tall, very fit young woman. She had blonde hair, green eyes and was wearing a full blue tracksuit. When she spoke to me, it was somewhat monotone. But when she spoke to my teammates it was charisma that inspired them to push past their limit.
Feels like she hates me...
"Damn she does not like you," Eugene laughs, he was next to me on the bench because he has a stomach ache. I wonder what caused that...
"You noticed to right?" I ask as he laughs again, only to groan in pain. That's what he gets for laughing at me!
"Is it something you did?"
"Not that I know of," I say as Brad walks towards us. Great, what does this dick want?
"Hey, guys," He waves. You know what, let's not judge him by his old self. "How's the bench!" he laughs as we blankly stare at him.
"It's a bench..." I say as I look at Eugene. "Is it supposed to feel? Is it a high-tech bench that was made by STARK that can feel?"
"That's not funny..." Brad says as he glares at me.
"It wasn't supposed to be," I say nonchalantly. "So how's practice going."
"It's going great, it's a shame you're sitting it out bro." He says with a smirk.
"Don't I know it," He looks at me with a funny face. He thinks I'm gonna start some verbal war with him, well he's wrong. After what I did in my last mission, I honestly feel like dealing with schoolyard bully is... beneath me. If comes at me I'll beat his ass for sure but he's trying to lure me in but fuck him, I'm not in the mood. "I just wanted to throw some hops..."
"Wha-what is happening right now?" Ohhh his dump little jock brain can't keep up.
"Dude just takes a seat," Eugene says with a shake of his head. Brad looks at us before turning and walking away in a fit of rage. The new coach calls out to him but he angrily storms off. She then looks my way and glares.
"You're in trouble," Eugene says and I agree with him. "Maybe she misinterpreted the situation, I can help-"
"Don't worry about," I wave him off. I have a theory, but I need to confirm it first. "Laura looks bored so I'm gonna keep her company." I say as I stand.
"Cool, I'm gonna take a nap." Eugene says as he puts his legs on the bench.
...
...
...
"Definitely an Agent," Laura says as we watch the new coach.
"Called it," I mutter, I had a feeling she was an Agent of Shield. Though I honestly don't know why she seems to hate me.
"I saw her glaring at you a few times," Laura says as I laugh.
Damn, even Laura noticed. "She's not a very good Agent is she?" I ask, amusement in my voice as we watch the coach dismiss the team. "Attack her while I close the doors," Laura goes to jump her when I stop her. "Just hold back a bit and make it look savage." She stares for moment and I honestly think I offended her but then she gives me a double thumbs up. Looks like she's all in.
Just as the last player leaves the gym, Speed over to it and close the doors with a loud bang. The woman's head snaps over to me before a roar grabs her attention.
Laura attacks the Agent with a kick that the woman easily dodges. She then goes for a few punches that the woman easily blocks and then begins to counter with her own.
"Come on you little shit!" The woman growls as she begins countering and taking the offense. Then Laura jumps back and unleashes her claws. "W-wait-"
I quickly zoom over to her and grab her in a full nelson. Laura then goes in and points her claws at the woman's neck.
"Wait I'm on your side! I'm an Agent!" She says frantically.
"Name?" I ask lowly into her ear. Her hair smells nice.
What a creepy thing to say...
Moving on.
At first, she doesn't say anything. But Laura presses a little harder and she sings like a bird.
"Mockingbird, I'm Agent Mockingbird!"
Huh, an unintentional pun. More importantly, never heard of her.
"She telling the truth?" I ask Laura, the girl pauses for a moment before nodding and stepping back. I let the woman, Mockingbird go.
"W-what is wrong with you?! She cries as she huffs. "You just attacked me for no reason?!"
"You kept glaring at me so I assumed you were hostile," I say with a shrug. "What's up with that anyway?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Mockingbird says as she straightens her tracksuit. "You people are crazy-"
"Cut the shit Agent," I growl. "I want to why you were glaring."
"You're not my-"
"I am," I interrupt her. "Every Agent in this school is at my beck and call. Or I could go talk to the Director if you want. Tell him I don't feel safe with Agents glaring at me..."
"Fine," She huffs in annoyance. "You're given power and you misuse it, playing sports, robbing wine c-Hey where you going?!" Yeah, I already did this with May, not planning on doing it a second time. As soon as she said misuse I was already walking away.
"If it's mine I can use it any way I want," I say casually, Laura is next to me. Silent as always. "You don't know what it's like to be me."
"Get back here!" Mockingbird yells as she runs towards us. "I have powers too but you don't see me misusing them!"
"Sounds like your problem!" I say with a laugh as I hold the handle of the gun door.
"Dammit if you didn't play around then Woody wouldn't have died!"
I pause.
What. the. fuck.
Did this bitch just say?!
...
...
...
She'd fucked up.
The moment those words left her mouth he was already upon her. The entire gym was bathed in a bright yellow glow that came from one source. Lightning, yellow lightning covered his entire body. She only had but a second to take all this in, her super fast reflexes that allowed her to dodge bullets did not help her whatsoever. He held her by the neck, showing impressive strength as he lifted her off the ground.
She tried clawing at his arm but it did nothing, the claw marks she lift just healed instantly. All she could do was look him in the eye as he choked the life out of her. His eyes were pure white and glowing with power as he glares at her.
Woody was a dear friend of hers.
And a dear friend of his it seemed. Tears were flowing from his eyes as he choked her to her death.
He then grunted and let go of her.
Mockingbird fell to the ground and gasped for as much air as she could. Her red tear-filled eyes watched as the girl removed her metal claws from the side of Barry Allen.
"T-Thanks Laura," He said as the girl sheathed her claws and wiped the blood on his basketball jersey. His eyes landed on her before looked back to... Laura. "Let's go..."
In an instant, they both vanished from her view.
Maybe she acted a bit rushed.
...
...
...
I put Laura down and just stood there. Rosa already knew it was me so she didn't react, just going about her business. When she turned she gasped. I must have look like shit for Rosa to actually gasp like that.
"What happened?" I...I couldn't even answer her. I was ashamed, I almost killed someone. For no good reason mind you. I mean she said some harsh things but my first reaction shouldn't have been to kill her!
"He almost killed someone," Laura says from behind me. I flinch and look down. What would Rosa think of me? Would she hate me? Would she-hug me?!
I felt her pull me in a warm hug. "Talk to me," Rosa says. To be honest we didn't actually talk about what happened in Alfganishtan. I've been avoiding it, thinking I'm no okay but it's clear I'm not. I can kill people now, I wasn't able to before. But now with this power, I can kill people so easily it actually funny.
I spilled my guts to Rosa and she listened attentively.
"I want to be a hero but I don't want to give up life to that cause! I know someone who's given up so much and I don't want that. I want to be a hero that gets to save everyone and everything he wants. is that so much to ask for?!"
"Then do it," Rosa simply says. "Apply yourself to this goal you want. Work for it, grind and grind until it's in your hands! I wouldn't even begin to know what you're going through but I know what it's like to want something so badly. Barry you're not some old fart that's gonna die in a year or two. You're still young, there is still so much for you to do. It seems impossible but you can do it, you have people every step of the way with you. Put in the effort this needs and the results will be worth it, that I can promise you."
She's right!
I can still be a hero and not lose the things I love. In saving a country from an invading terrorist I lost someone I considered a friend. I don't want that, ever!
I just have to get stronger!
"Thank you, Rosa," I say as she smiles.
"You're welcome you big idiot," she says with a grin. "Now go out there and do your thing."

"Ms. Barbara, convince why I shouldn't ship your ass to North pole brunch."
Mockingbird or Barbara flinched at that. The people in the North pole brunch complained of the cold. It was literal freezing hell. "Sir, I let my emotions get the better of me." Being in the Director Fury's office almost felt like being called to the principal's office, except much worse. The man was seated behind his desk, said desk only had a laptop which he was slowly typing on.
"You're goddamned right they did," The Director said in his ever calm voice. "Lucky for you that shit worked out in the end."
"Sir?" She was now confused.
"He's motivated," The Director said as he pressed a few keys on it before he turned it towards her. She blinked at what she saw. Agent Hermes was running, on fucking water. She saw him clear almost the entire Hudson river before he fell into the water. He was running on water?! "I sent you in there to be his friend, be the person he confides in so Shield can have feedback. The only person he confides in is not a shield agent. And if I even lay a single hand on that person...well I don't even wanna know. We need feedback, so we know what agents need if they are in the right mind for a certain mission. If not we give time and help where can." The damn shield was way better than the CIA. They just didn't care...
"He needs someone with the same problems as him, Rosa knows a lot but she ain't no superhero. And that's where you come in, be there when he whines about hero stuff. He's a teenager they whin a lot. I don't care how you do it, just get it done! Heck, you can even join his weird love triangle thing he has going. It's like he likes Rosa but then Harriet is a thing and May poor girl in love with him-
"sir-
-But then Gwen isn't showing any interest anymore? The suspense is killing me."
"Ah, sir?"
"Oh, right you're still here, dismissed." He casually said as he went back to typing. She hoped it wasn't fanfiction on what he just said. Barbara nodded and walked out of the office. When she was transferred to shield by the CIA, it was to spy on Nick Fury. The man had a thing for the weird and after she got her powers she's been anything but normal. But the first day on the job he points at her tells her she works for him now. He knew about the mission...the mission she would have failed cause honestly, who the fuck could read Nick Fury.
Badass boss one moment...
Superhero enthusiastic boss the next...
The job change was welcome honestly, shield was much better to work for than the CIA, those guys were dicks.

"That was insane!" David says with a grin as I smile at him. We were currently on a boat taking us back to the docks. I requested for David to help me with keeping track of my speed and to give advice. The only reason The Flash was good with his powers was that he was a genius. He knew what he could and could not do. My intelligence is now above average but nowhere near where I want it to be yet. David is a genius, he works for the shield but he is still a genius.
He's like my very own Cisco Ramon.
Though I don't trust him.
"You almost cleared the full thing!" David yells excitedly as he types on his laptop. "According to my readings, a bit of running on land should do the track. Every time you run past your limit that limit becomes your baserunning and a new limit is born. So just keep running."
It... Interesting to know I'm getting faster. But I already knew that.
Come on David think of something useful?!
"I wonder if you can make a hurricane..." David mutters as he types furiously. Now we're talking! "Maybe we can get clearance..."

-Day of the STARK EXPO-
"I'm so excited!!!" Gwen screams next to me. May covers her ears while Harriet looks irritated.
"Damnit Gwen play it cool," Harri says in a hushed whisper. She was dressed in a beautiful blue dress that stopped just above her knees, her hair was tied into a neat bun at the back of her head and she had on make-up that made her look flawless. She was dressed to impress. Harri was in the mood we were going with her mother. In the same car. So she's freaking out about everything.
"Relax, your mom's knows who we are," Gwen says as she leans back. Gwen was dressed in a dark purple shirt in some black jeans and blue/white converse shoes.
"Yeah but you know how she is," Harri was on the verge of pulling out her hair. "What if she-"
"Chill, I work for your mom at Oscorp and she approves of me," Gwen says nonchalantly.
"You're right, you have the worst manners among everyone," Harriet says as we all laugh.
The door to the limo (Course why not?)opens and in steps Norma Osborne. If you asked me to describe Gender bent Norman Osborne it would be, Milf and sexy strict liberian rolled into one. Dressed in a business suit with a short skirt, Nylons and high heels (As every respective milf should)She was hot. Though she'd look better in glasses, just saying.
Gwen instantly seats up, her posture straight as a pole. The fuck was that all about?
"Harriet, Gwendolyn." She greets as takes a sit next to Gwen. Norma looks May (who's sitting next to me) and I over with a raised eyebrow before speaking. "Bartholomew and Mayday, it's been a while."
"It has ma'am," May responds. May is dressed in black leather jacket over a red shirt, some blue ripped jeans and blue converse shoes.
"...Bartholomew?" Who the hell is that? I was dressed in a black zip up hoodie (The only one of my hoodies without a Flash logo) over a white T-shirt, some skinny jeans and some Nike running shoes.
"That's ah that's your name," May says as she looks away.
"And why am I just hearing of this?" I ask. May was looking away, Gwen was looking at the ground and Harriet suddenly found something interesting on her phone.
"You recently experienced an accident that led to you losing your memory." Norma observes with a thoughtful look. The limo starts off, with only five people (six if you're counting the driver) in it. "Your hair turned blonde and you body underwent a drastic change. Very interesting..."
"...So the Stark expo!" Yeah Norma was giving me a look that scared and aroused me.
"More like a dead man on his last line..." Norma mutters under her breath.
"I for one am excited to see the Ironman suit," Harriet says as Norma snorts.
"I can make one for you if you like," She says in amusement. "Though I don't think you'd want one."
"Why is that?" I ask as Norma just smirks.
"It's not my secret to tell," She shrugs. The limo is silent for a while before I turn to May.
"Do I look like a Bartholomew?" I ask, Gwen can't seem to hold it in anymore and just laughs and Harriet follows suit. May just chuckles and even Norma smiles. "Yeah laugh it up, Gwendolyn."
"Hey, Gwendolyn is a normal name!" Gwen exclaims. "If anyone has a weird name it's Mayday over there!" She says as she points at May.
"Mayday is totally a normal name!" May defends herself as Gwen smirks.
"Really, Mayday is an everyday normal name?"
"...yes?"
At the side, Harriet was staring at the floor with a blush as her mother gives her an amused look. What's that all about?
We go about this for a while, witty banter being thrown around. Soon even Harriet chips in, Norma is just staring in amusement. Soon we reach the EXPO and Damn it is impressive We don't get to see much as we are rushed to the VIP section. Damn this room is big, expensive-looking, and is only for the five of us apparently. There is a minibar at the corner of the room, with a flat-screen at the front and couches. Norma walks over to the minibar grabs herself a bottle of wine and glass.
Sexy milf drinking wine...
She takes a sit on one of the stools at the bar and crosses her Nylon clad legs. As if she can feel me watching, she turns to me, gives me a smirk, and sips her wine.
The glorious sight is disturbed by someone elbowing me in the gut.
"Ow, what was that for!" I exclaim, Harriet just pouts and looks away.
"So this is VIP," May says in awe as she looks around.
"Pretty neat right?" Gwen says as she walks by her friend.
"I've seen better," Norma says from her seat at the bar.
"Y-yeah!" Gwen quickly agrees with a blush. Funny, Gwen is always snarky, always has crude remarks, and is overall the kind of girl that doesn't give a fuck. But when she's near Norma...
Nah, couldn't be!
Right?
A man soon comes in clipboard in hand. "Excuse me, Ladies and gentlemen," He says as we turn to him. "Please follow me to the VIP section."
"Actually I would like to watch it from backstage," Norma says as she grabs the bottle and puts the glass down. She gets up and straightens her outfit. Damn, she's hot...and she's the green goblin, or is it gobliness?
"Ah okay then, the young ladies and gentlemen will come with and someone will come by to take you backstage." The man says as he turns the girls slowly following behind. I turn to Norma and then back to the girls, you know what fuck it.
"If you don't mind I'd like to join you backstage," I say to Norma as she raises an eyebrow. The girls turn back to me with curious looks. "I'll join you guys in a minute. Gwen shrugs and goes while Harriet and May look hesitant. "The shows starting you better go..."
May nods before holding Harri by the hand and dragging her away. Harriet looks at me with wide pleading eyes and I give her a smile.
"I take it you want to see Stark in person?" Norma asks as I grin at her.
"The man's my hero, of course, I wanna see him in person," I say, Norma looks at me intensely before looking away.
"...of course," She says. I don't think she caught my lie, right? The reason why I want to stay is because Norma said something to Harri. Can Norma Osborne make her own Ironman suit?
Irongoblin sounds really scary...
And does she know Tony is dying?
A few seconds later a young woman walks in.
"Ma'am, sir if you would please follow me." She says Norma with her bottle in hand follows the woman while I follow her perfect ass.
Damn it Barry she's the enemy! Put Aside your milf and Nylon fetish and focus on the task at hand.
We reach the back Stage just as Ironman lands on stage, the loud music, the crowd goes insane as the machines remove the suit off Tony. Huh, it's RDJ but like he's taller and a bit more buff. The cheerleaders wearing Ironman-themed Bikinis dance on stage as Tony Stark spreads his hands. Dressed in a black suit the man begins his speech.
Damn his arrogant, like you know you can do it arrogant. He talks about how he changed the world and it's kinda true.
"Making a special feature from the great beyond to tell you what it's about, my father," Tony says as he comes back Stage.
"Oh hey, Osborne!" He says with a cheer. "My actual Rival you made it!"
"Stark," Norma drawls. "How's life as a... Superhero?"
"Oh you know," He waves it off. "So who's this, your boy toy?"
"Barry Allen," I hold out my hand as he shakes it. "Professional boy toy at your service, well more like at her service am I right?"
"Hell yeah, high five kid." He raises his hand and we share a crisp one. "Though you look like a Brad rather than a Barry."
"I get that a lot," I say with a shrug. Ironman is like on my top ten favorite superheroes.
"I like this one," Smirks at Norma who just snorts.
"You can keep him," She says. "By the way, you find a way to fix your little problem yet?"
Tony's smile falters for a bit. "I don-
"You said it yourself Stark, I'm your Rival. Almost anything you can do I can do, I said almost because I don't have a dick." Norma growls as she narrows her eyes. "Give me the respect I fucking deserve and answer the damn question!"
"... Again I have no idea what you're on about, Norma."
"Oh I think you do, the flying around in that coffin you call a suit, the random donations STARK industries has been making, and this EXPO. Some might mistake this for your ergo." Norma states with a glare. Tony just stares with a smile before Norma huffs and turns. "See you at your funeral then." She then walks away.
"She seems a bit backed up, you doing your job right Brad?" Tony asks just as his guard Happy walks in.
"Hey Tony I just saw Ms. Osborne, she looks pis-who are you?" Happy asks as he looks at me.
"This is Chad, Norma's human vibrator," Tony says with a snicker.
"I thought it was Brad?" I ask.
"And I thought it was Barry?" He says back with a smirk. "It's been real meeting you kid but I gotta jet. Here have an auto-" Tony goes to search his pockets, patting around his Armani suit covered body. "-Happy marker."
"Yes sir," Happy produces a marker and hands it to his boss. Said boss then proceeds to sign my shirt-covered chest. Good thing I wore white.
"Damn Brad, that's a hard chest you play sports?" He asks as finishes signing.
"Basketball," I say as he nods.
"Good, just make sure you don't focus too much on sports. The mind is also a muscle young padawan." He patts me on the shoulder and begins to walk away.
"Think you for your wisdom Jedi Master," I say as Tony turns and looks at me. I give him a bow before he chuckles and Happy drags him away.
That was fun.
I look around and sigh...I don't know where to next.
...
...
...
"Hey Ms. Osborne," I say as I enter the VIP room. I don't know where the girls have run off too so I came back here to wait for them.
"Bartholomew," Norma calls back, she was seated on the couch.
"So you and Mr. Stark aren't the best of friends," I say as I scratch the back of my head. I really don't know how to talk to this woman.
"You know, Gwendolyn speaks the world of you," Norma says with a frown. "How you're her Rival."
Oh, fuck me.
"Gwendolyn is one of my brightest employees and for her to call you her Rival. You must be pretty impressive and I saw that myself tonight." Norma says as she smirks. "And your acting is pretty good. Stark even fell for it."
I should be careful around her.
"Your acting is good but your eyes give it away," Norma says, she then slowly crosses her legs. Did she just pull a Basic Instinct? Jokes on her I'm into that shit. What's also a double whammy is that I saw it in slow-mo.
Black lance panties covered her mound and by the speed Force was it a great-looking pussy.
Oh yeah, I'm touching myself tonight.
"So are you gonna pull a Stark and deny everything?"
The right thing to do is deny everything. Right?
Wrong!
If I do what Tony just did there will be hell to pay. Norma might even stop Harriet from seeing me. Plus a mistake I made at the beginning has come back to haunt me. My success speaks for itself, loudly.
"Stark is dying," I say as Norma's eyes widen. She seems surprised. "The thing keeping him alive is what's killing him," May claims the night of the Oscorp fire she saw a giant green amazon woman thing on a glider. This woman seems actually to be a more dangerous version of Norman Osborne. She has the Goblin formula, figured out that Stark is dying, and might possibly be able to make her own Ironman suit.
"You actually admitted it?" Norma says, a hint of suprise in her tone. She uncrosses her legs and leaves them slightly open. I openly stare and Norma smiles.
She thinks she has me. The only way to make me talk is to apply to my lustful nature.
"...yeah," I say as I swallow. Honestly it's not hard, this bitch is beautiful. "Ah, why wouldn't I?"
"Hey, Barry we-whats going on here?" Harriet says as she walks in.
"Just small talk," Norma says as she stands, she straightens her suit and slowly walks towards me. "Bartholomew, make time and come over to Oscorp sometime. Maybe I can take a closer look at you." Norma says as she pats my face, damn she smells nice. She then walks away. "We should be on our way now, Harriet." She nods to her daughter and makes her exit with a sway of her hips.
"Barry," I turn to Harri and she's glaring at me. "Stop staring at my mom's ass, fucking asshole!" She storms out of the building. Damn teenagers!
"Harri!" I grab her arm and she looks back at me with wide eyes.
"H-how did you..." Oops used my speed. "Whatever just leave me alone!"
"Harr, I what's wrong?" I ask as she struggles out of my grip. "Damn it what did I do?!" Okay, this is starting to piss me off.
"It's what you didn't do you asshole!" Harriet screams with tears in her eyes. What? "You go away for six months and then come back like nothing fucking happened! I thought maybe we could be like a couple but you've been avoiding me and don't lie you have."
Around us people were staring, I could hear them whisper and see them point. People loved fucking drama. But I avoid them and look Harriet in the eye.
"Harriet I was giving you space, you hadn't seen your best friend in months and I wanted you two to get closer," I say as Harriet wipes her tears away. Actually, I was in a weird funk, plus I wanted May to bond with her friends. On account of Black widow and her request.
"I-I on the phone you said we'd like up pick up where we left off," Harriet says as she hugs herself. "I've had the biggest crush on you and when I-when we you know, in the bathroom. I thought that maybe you wanted something like you wanted us to be a thing. But then things slowed down and- Barry I feel like you don't want us to happen. Just...just tell me if you want to be just friends or to take the next step. I want us to take the next, I really do. I just don't know what you want."
"I wonder what he's gonna say..." A woman in the crowd of people watching whispers.
"I messed up, I assumed you needed space and I'm sorry," I say as I take in a deep breath. "I like you Harri and I would really like to go out with you." Harriet looks shocked so I go in for a kiss. Our lips meet and Harriet deepens the kiss. I wrap my arms around her waist and she wraps her arms around my neck. The crowd cheers but I don't really care for them. It's just me and my new girlfriend. We separate and Harri has a huge blush on her face. She looks around and her eyes widen before she slams into me and buries her face into my chest. I think she just figured out that people were watching us.
"P-People are watching!" She mumbles into my chest as I laugh.
"Come on let's go," I say as I wave at the crowd. Holding Harri close I guide us to where the limo was waiting. "Harri before we go I have something to say." Harriet perked up her hold on me tightening. "May is in love with me and after spending six months with her I feel something for her. It's part of the reason why I've been distant, I have been trying to work things and get my feelings in order."
"I kind of suspected this," Harriet says with a sigh. "So what now?"
This is the part where she says we share. If it was that kind of story.
"I don't know," I say truthfully. "Maybe we should sit down and like talk things over?"
"Or m-maybe you can like choose?"
"Please don't make do that," I say as Harriet looks at the ground.
"Sorry, I guess we can like talk it over," Harriet says as I sigh. If I was to choose I would pick May, obviously.
"I know a place we go to for help," I say as Harri nods. "You can give Gwen and May the heads up while go set up a meeting."
"Okay, but-but you can't seriously leave me alone with those two and my mother!" Harri says as I laugh at her.
"Sorry but I have to go," I give her a kiss on the cheek before walking away. "Say buy to Gwen for me," With a wave, I leave.
I walk around the Expo which is supposed to be all year round. But we all know that's not gonna happen. I make my way out of the Expo and onto the streets. After a few minutes of walking and I quickly duck into an Alleyway. I then zoom out of the alley in a blur. Heading straight for Rosa's store.
I don't know what she's doing cause she has her back to me.
"Rosa," I say softly as I close the door behind me.
"Sup," Rosa responds without turning. I walk over to her and engulf her in a hug. "What's all this now?" She asks but all I do is hold her tighter. "Hey what's wrong?" her hand came up and started caressing my hair.
"I've been distant and I'm sorry," I whisper, I haven't talked much with Rosa and I feel like a dick about it.
"Don't worry you were going through a funk," Rosa says calmly. "I'm just happy you always come by to see old Rosa." She laughs.
"I... you're my best friend," I say and I honestly mean it. "And I'll never let anything happen to you."
"Barry you're my best friend," Rosa says. "And I'll always be there for you, whatever you need."
"Thanks," I say. "I need your help."
"Oh, buttering me?" I could practically sense the grin she had on her face. "So all that best friend crap was...crap?"
"No," I say, Rosa's soft hand caressing me feels really good. "I just need your help with convincing two girls to date me, at the same damn time."
"it's always something with you," Rosa laughs as she turns around. I wrap my hands around her waist and bring her close. In turn, she wraps her arms around my neck. "Can't keep it in your pants speedy?"
"Only for you," I don't even if that made sense, only that I was leaning in. Rosa's lips were slightly apart. She was also closing in.
The gap between us was slowly closing.
CRUNCH*
We turned to the source of the noise. Laura was seated in the corner munching on Doritos.
"Don't mind me," She says calmly. "It was getting good."
"Laura what are-" Rosa removes herself from me and steps away a bit. "Laura, what are you doing here?"
"I got bored at home," She shrugs."So I came by to see what Rosa was doing."
"Good for you," I say with a sigh. Turn to Rosa and she's looking at the wall. "Rosa I... I'll be going now, see you tomorrow."
"Y-yeah tomorrow," She replies but doesn't turn.
"Laura we're leaving," I say, before she could answer I grabbed her and was off.
When we arrived home I did not roughly throw Laura on the couch, no I did not.
"I...I didn't mean to, I'm sorry!" Laura held up her hands in fear, shielding herself from...a demon.
I flinched at the look of fear on her face. "I...Laura, I'm sorry," I say softly as I approach her. She flinches away. I take a seat next to her and sigh.
"I didn't mean it, I'm sorry." She says lowly. "Just don't punish me..."
"Laura I would never, I was just caught up in the moment." I say as scratch my hair. "I should thank you, you know?"
"F-for what?"
"From making a terrible mistake..." I say with a sigh as I lean back. "Tomorrow is just gonna be the worst."
Oh, you have no idea!
A/N hello my friends! I know I've been a little late and this chapter was trash. 10k trash. To keep you busy while I can up with the other ten thousand word chapter.
Few words.
Yes, this is a harem! Yes, it is my first story. Yes, I have planned ahead. I somewhat know what I'm doing. It's just that My writing skill is sucky! I sometimes have trouble putting stuff into words! But more importantly, I don't like time skips. I...have everything planned put just after he meets the Xmen. But I just don't know how he's going to going to meet them in a way that makes sense.
Thanks for the reviews, follows, and favorites. The last chapter didn't get much but response. I doubt I'll get more in this one, but thanks for the reviews, advice, and motivation. I have a lot to say but I forget and will probably say it in the next chapter.
