Hey everyone, just wanted to thank you for the comments. I love hearing from you all. I got this one done and it's a doosy. I just wanted to warn you that there's smut towards the end and fluff right afterwards. So enjoy
After I blacked out, I was back at the house and Aya was waiting for me.
"You are a magnet for trouble." She said.
"You send me places and I roll with the punches." I answered.
"You're getting sloppy. You should have been able to block that bullet without thinking." She chastised.
"My hands were a bit busy." I said.
"You don't need your hands to created shields or project energy into objects. It helps you focus but they're essentially training wheels. You should have this mastered by now. It's been two years, three and a half if you count the time you sent in the 1940's."
"Haven't really had a chance to practice lately. There's no impending doom. No IED's to shield myself from." I said.
"We need to start training, you're nowhere near ready for what's coming."
"What is coming?" I asked.
"You'll find out. I hope you enjoyed your vacation because it's almost over." She said before everything started glowing and it all faded away.
I opened my eyes and I was in a white room. I was hooked up to an IV and a heart monitor. I was wearing the same jeans and socks as before but was just wearing a simple tank top. I sat up and slowly removed the IV and took of all the wires attached to me. I moved off the bed and felt a bit light headed but that was probably from getting up too fast. I found my boots and slipped them on.
The door opened and the last person I was expecting to see walked in.
"How many times have you been shot now?" Sam Wilson said as he walked in.
"I don't know about me in this time but for me it's the second time." I said.
"When was the first time?" He asked.
"France 1944. I actually died that time." I said.
"Might not want to tell your dad that." Sam said.
"Wasn't planning on it. We met before, in Afghanistan." I said.
"We did. It was a pretty bad day. Never got to thank you for what you did." Sam said.
"I was just doing my job." I said.
"Not what you did for Riley, What you said after, that made all the difference."
"I just told you the same thing someone once told me." I said. "How've you been since?"
"One day at a time right?" Sam said.
"Yeah." I said.
"Come on I know a lot of people who want to see you." Sam said.
"Where's Steve?" I asked.
"He had to go take care of something really quick he'll meet us in the common room." Sam said giving me a small smile. Something's fishy. Sam seemed a bit tense and uncomfortable not with me but when I asked where Steve was. We walked down the hallway when I finally remembered the last thing I said before I passed out.
"Sam, please tell me no one told my Dads." I said.
"Dads?" he said confused.
"Nora Eliana Stark How the hell did you get shot?!" Rhodey yelled.
"Dads." I said.
"Dad its okay. I'm fine. See?" I said gesturing to my shoulder where there wasn't even a scar.
"How did you even get shot in the first place?" Rhodey said.
"Ten year old assassin in Belarus." I said.
"I'm sorry what?" Rhodey said.
"This I need to hear." Sam said.
"This should be good." Natasha said as she walked in with Wanda and Vision.
"Okay so after I pulled an all nighter trying to find out whether Wren was okay or not which ended in me kind of blackmailing the Secretary of Defense to get rid of a certain general." I started,
"You did what?!" dad said and he walked in.
"Oh boy, I never told you that?" I said.
"No What the hell Nora?!" Dad said.
"I didn't have much of a choice Dad. I was skyping Wren when the call cut off because of gunshots and an explosion. I freaked out and needed to know he was okay so I hacked into the US Military's server and tracked him down. Turns out general fucktard assembled a team of enhanced individuals and forced them to complete black op missions. Missions the secretary of defense had assigned him but had no idea what he did to complete them. Wren was apart of that team and there was no way I was going to leave one of my best friends in that asshole's grimy hands so I got all the evidence and had Jarvis send the Secretary of Defense an encrypted email telling him that unless Ross was taken off active duty and the entire team given early honorable discharge and compensation those files would hit every news outlet in the world." I said.
"And that's why Wren got back three weeks early." Dad said.
"Yup, it was all for a good cause." I said.
"You blackmailed the Secretary of Defense." Natasha deadpanned.
"It was a bluff, well kind of. I didn't want that info in the wrong hands but desperate times call for desperate measures. It's in the past. What's done is done can we move on." I said.
"Okay after that…" Sam said.
"I had lunch with you two and Doctor Banner. I went home and caught up with my shows when another time jump started. I appeared on a snowy road in Poland 1946. The commandos found me and we met up with Peggy and a team from the SSR. There was a weapons deal involving some of Gramps stolen inventions. We snuck into the compound, which turned out to be some sort of Russian boarding school, but it was weird. We got to the dormitories and there were handcuffs on the headboards." When I said that Natasha tensed and looked a bit scared.
"There was a girl there. DumDum got close she stabbed him before she grabbed his gun and shot us before she got away. I got hit and I was back here." I said.
"Wow, a ten year old got the drop on you." Rhodey teased.
"She was a mini assassin and my hands were a bit busy, I couldn't put up a forcefield." I said.
"Since when do you need your hands to put up a shield?" dad said.
"You too seriously? I just got the you're slacking off lecture from Aya and now you. It hasn't exactly been easy to practice considering I've been a bit too busy trying to hide them from you two." I argued.
"Wait, where exactly are you in the timeline?" dad asked.
"A day after I found out I passed the Board exam."
"So you're still in New York?" Dad asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"That's good." He said
"I'm sorry I didn't stay. I really wanted to, I just couldn't. It wasn't the right time." I said.
"I know. We had this chat already. It'll happen when its supposed to happen." Dad said.
"The waiting sucks though." I said.
"It does but at least neither of us was alone and you got Wren back early." Dad said with a wink.
"For the hundredth time we're just friends." That made everyone laugh.
"You don't blackmail the secretary of Defense for someone who's just a friend." Dad said.
"I know Wren's family. What don't we do for family? You got kidnapped, I didn't sleep for three months and broke how many international laws and hacked every intelligence agency in the world." I said.
"That you did kid." Dad said. "You disappeared and I hacked everything I could. Would have found you if you hadn't covered your tracks so well."
"What can I say I learned from the best." I said. There was a camera flash. We turned to look at who it was this time.
"Had to get that one. You two were side to side making the same face." Rhodey said.
"What's with you guys getting all the pictures every time I show up?" I said,
"We're making a scrap book." Wanda said.
"Cool, I'd ask if I could see it but that's probably not a good idea." I said.
"It isn't." dad said. At that instant I started getting the chills.
"Oh Shit." I said. "It's starting again. Tell Steve I'll see him next time." I said before the glowing started and I was gone.
I appeared back in the penthouse. I looked over at the clock and saw I had only been gone a little over an hour. I looked at myself and saw that while most of the blood was gone it had still seeped into the black tank top and bra I was wearing. I got up and took a shower before grabbing some pjs and getting under the covers.
I turned on the TV and started watching reruns of How I Met Your Mother. Somewhere around the second episode I knocked out.
I woke up the next morning and did my normal routine. I got up got dressed and went for my run. I got back and showered. Knowing Wren he was going off that plane traumatized and starving. Then he was probably going to want to either get some rest or want to go look around.
I picked out some clothes. I grabbed a black long sleeve and some black skinny jeans. I left my hair down in loose waves. I grabbed a black scarf and some black heeled suede boots. It matched both of my necklaces perfectly By the time I was done it was time to go. I grabbed a black purse and a red wool and black leather sleeved coat as I walked out. Happy was waiting downstairs.
"Wow, you're looking good." He said.
"Thanks found the coat in my closet thought it was time I brought it out." I said.
"Red is your color, makes your eyes pop." Happy said.
"You're in a good mood." I said.
"It's a beautiful day, I got that hot nurse's number, and I'm officially cleared to go back to work at the office." He said.
"That's great." I said. "I hole you have DVR, don't want to miss out in the lives of the Crawley family."
"No I do not." He said.
"Oh ah one thing, my friend that we're picking up he's British so whatever happens to try to fake an accent. He doesn't like it when people do that." I said.
"Wasn't planning on it but good to know." Happy said. "We're here. Need me to go in with you."
"It's okay, take the time to sing along with Taylor." I said as I opened the door.
"It was one time and you promised not to bring it up again." He said.
"I didn't say anything but you've been tapping along to the song that's playing for the past minute so sing it out." I said stepping out of the car.
I walked into the airport and looked up the arrivals. Flights from Frankfurt just landed gate fifteen. I walked in that direction and got as close as I could. There were soldiers everywhere meeting up with their families and cries of joy everywhere. I got closer and saw people coming through until I spotted a very familiar reddish blonde head. Wren looked around and finally he saw me and he couldn't help but grin. He walked out of the gate and came over to me.
"Hey stranger." I said I got a closer look at him and saw he had a black eye and a busted lip. "What the hell?" I said.
"Not now." He said. I pursed my lips but nodded. I hugged the idiot and he didn't hesitate to hug back.
"You and I are having a serious conversation when we get to the penthouse Flicker." I said and that made Wren freeze and his face gat pale. I grabbed his hand and led him out of there.
The car ride was quiet. At one point Happy got the hint and brought the division up.
"How did you…"
"We were in the middle of a conversation and call got cut off by gunshots and an explosion. You really think I was just going to sit around and wait for you to call back to let me know you were okay?" I said.
"Nora what did you do?" He said trying to stare me down.
"I did what I had to. You and your team are safe and Ross isn't a problem anymore. We're in the clear. That's all you need to know." I said.
"Nora…"
"Wren, not the time." I said looking to the front of the limo.
"I could have gotten us back faster." He mumbled.
"Appearances." I muttered.
We sat there being quiet until finally we got to the building.
"Thanks Happy, you can go back to the Tower. We'll be okay." I said with a smile.
"You sure?" Happy asked.
"Yeah probably just going to stay in, order take out." I said.
"Sure you are." Happy said with a wink that made me arch an eyebrow.
"Have a good day Happy." I said walking inside.
Wren and I got inside the elevator and the doors closed.
"These things take forever." He said.
"Yeah, the sinking feeling is a thousand times worse." I said just as the elevator started moving. It took us directly to the top floor.
We got out and walked to the door. I looked up at the camera and Jarvis unlocked the door.
"Welcome back Miss Stark and welcome Major Spencer." Jarvis greeted.
"Is he monitoring us?" Wren asked.
"Vitals and heat signatures. Listens for orders but doesn't record conversations unless ordered to." I said.
"Not taking any chances." He said.
"Wait," I told him "Jarvis, we're going dark. No one comes in. If dad asks we went for a walk." Then I turned to Wren and nodded. He put a hand on my shoulder and we were back at the ranch.
"What did you do Nora?" Wren asked.
"What happened to you?" I asked back.
"Nora"
"Wren. What happened?" I said glaring at him. We were glaring daggers at each other. Until finally he looked away and sighed.
"About a week after I got back I got put on the air rescue team. They needed someone with experience and they wanted to get as much out of me as they could. We were flying through hostile territory and our chopper got hit by an RPG. Chopper broke apart mid air. Instead of making it to the ground like the other half did I teleported myself and the injured soldier we managed to save out of there and safely to the satellite base. Only problem a certain general we both despise happened to be stationed there and saw the whole thing." Wren said.
"You've got to be shitting me." I said.
"He gave me a choice between serving out what was left of my time working directly under him or spend the rest of my life in a highly classified prison for enhanced where I'd be poked and prodded for the rest of my days." Wren said.
"Why didn't you say anything?" I said.
"Because Ross still doesn't know about you and we're going to keep it that way." Wren said. "There was nothing you could've done."
"Uh Wren obviously there was something I could do." I said.
"Okay, let me rephrase that there was nothing you could do that wasn't highly risky and put you on the shit list of a lot of powerful people Nora." Wren said.
"Well fuck them. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I got your six and you have mine. Consider this holding up my end of the promise." I said.
"You're so damn reckless." Wren said.
"Call me whatever you want but there was no way I was leaving you in Ross' grubby hands. Yes I acted impulsively but I don't regret it. I wasn't going to let him use you like that. That guy gives me a bad feeling and I'm usually right about these things." I said.
"What am I going to do with you?" Wren said.
"Nothing. I know what I'm doing I covered my tracks. All of the signals were scrambled and rerouted through servers around the world. I got all of our bases covered." I said.
"I don't doubt you do. I just don't want this to become a regular occurrence." Wren said.
"Then you may need to look for a new housemate. You're talking to someone who's had a double identity since the day they were born. I was raised to cover my tracks. The hacking and computers, my dad didn't teach me that as a hobby he did it so the day he couldn't do it anymore I could." I said.
"Then I just found the right housemate." Wren said with a small smile. "We should head back before your Dad notices you're gone."
"Jarvis has us covered but we should go either way, construction crew will be back any minute now." I said looking around the living room. They had taken off the wall paper and repainted.
"It's coming along nicely." He said.
"Yeah, it is." I said. He put a hand on my shoulder and we were gone.
We got back to the Penthouse and Wren showered and took a nap. I watched a bit of TV and by the time I started getting hungry Wren was awake.
"Hey we have anything to eat?" Wren asked looking through the fridge.
"No I was thinking of ordering a pizza or something what do you think?"
"Sounds good just make it a…"
"Meatlovers with mushrooms." I said.
"It's like you read my mind."
"Jarvis you heard the man." I said.
"Very well Miss Stark, actually your father would like me to extend an invitation to you and Major Spencer to join him and Colonel Rhodes for dinner." Jarvis said.
"What do you think? You up for an interrogation?" I asked Wren.
"It was going to happen eventually may as well get it out of the way." Wren said.
"Tell him we'll be there in twenty minutes." I said.
"A car is waiting for you downstairs." Jarvis said.
"No escaping now." I told Wren.
"I'll put on shoes and grab a coat." Wren said teleporting to his room.
I put on the boots I left in the coat closet and the coat from earlier. Wren appeared a second later.
"I'm ready." He said before helping me with my coat. We headed downstairs and saw Happy waiting for us.
I spent the car ride prepping Wren for the oncoming interrogation.
"Okay here's a few things you can't bring up. Don't talk about the six months I was in Afghanistan. Or the thing from earlier, I don't need another lecture."
"Anything else?" Wren said.
"They're probably going to grill you on our non existent romantic relationship." I said.
"They're still not over that?"
"We're moving in together." I reminded him.
"Good point."
"We're here," Happy said.
"Thanks happy." I said getting out of the car. "Get ready for the firing squad."
We got into the elevator and walked into the common room.
"Nora." Dad said coming over. "I knew you were going to like that coat."
"Someone knows my taste." I said giving him a hug.
"Spencer," dad said looking at Wren."
"Tony." Wren said with a nod.
"Good to see you. Quite a shiner you got there." Dad said.
"You should see the other guy." Wren retorted.
"Pizza's here." Rhodey said breaking the tension.
"Pizza." Wren and I said at the same time. I pulled out some plates from the cabinet and we dug in.
"How's it feel to be back Wren?" Rhodey asked.
"Great, being able to take a shower longer than five minutes." Wren said.
"Best feeling in the world." Rhodey said.
"You having trouble sleeping? When I got back the mattress was too soft, ended up sleeping on the futon down in the lab." Dad said.
"I was too jetlagged to notice. When I was here in December it felt like sleeping on a marshmallow. How've you been dealing Nora?" Wren asked.
"Wasn't too bad. The first few weeks I slept on the futon or on the couch. One thing I can't shake is getting up at five am. Even without an alarm I wake up at five o'clock on the dot." I said.
"Is that why you get your run in so early?" dad asked.
"Part of it. The park's pretty empty so no bumping into anyone and the cool weather helps too." I answered.
"You looking forward to moving to Dallas." Dad said not as casually as he was trying to be.
"Yeah fresh start, better weather than London, having friends in the area. The barbeque is amazing." Wren answered.
"Uhuh," Dad said. "So you don't think you're moving to fast?"
"Well I didn't have much to pack so I think it was just the right amount of time." Wren answered pretending to not get the double meaning.
"You've known each other how long and you're already moving in together?" Dad asked
"Dad…"
"Nora, let him talk." Rhodey said stopping me.
"We met about seven and a half months ago." Wren answered dad's question.
"What are your intentions with my daughter?" dad said glaring at Wren.
"None, we're friends and nothing more. Maybe some sibling affection but nothing more." Wren said.
"Why should I believe you?" dad said.
"You shouldn't you should trust her." Wren said looking at me.
"Why are you so willing to move around the world for a girl you're nothing more but friends with." Dad said still not trusting Wren.
"Because in the time I've known her she gained my trust and welcomed me with open arms into her home. I don't have many friends but those I do have I try to keep close." Wren answered.
They stared at each other for a minute before Dad caved. "Just know if you do anything that remotely seems like you're betraying Nora I'll ship your ass back to the mother country. Clear?" dad said.
"Crystal." Wren said and just like that the tension was gone.
"So how long are you in town for?" Rhodey asked.
"Not sure, I've been to the New York before just never had time to see the sites." Wren said.
"I was thinking we'd head to Disney world before we go back to Dallas." I told Wren.
"Never seen any Disney films. Well except for Bambi, and we all know how that ends." Wren said.
"We're going to work on that when we head back." I said.
"I need some air." Dad said getting up and going out to the balcony.
"Was it something I said?" Wren asked. I thought back to what we were saying and it hit me.
"No, It's what I said." I got up and went to the balcony. Dad was sitting down on the ground next to the railing looking out to the city. I sat down next to him and we were quiet for a while.
"You don't like New York?" dad asked.
"I love New York. There's always something to do. Take out whenever you want. Great views." I said.
"You were never going to stay were you." Dad said.
"I wanted to I really did and I still do but I'm not ready." I said.
"Ready for what?" dad said raising his voice.
"Dad listen to me."
"No Nora this entire month has been amazing. We saw each other everyday. We had lunch and movie marathons and lab time. I though this was what you wanted." Dad said. "For us to be a family."
"Dad we are a family."
"A real family. One where we don't have to hide every time we see each other." Dad said tearing up a bit.
"Dad I want that I really do but you know what doing that would cause. I'd never be able to leave the pent house without the press hounding me constantly. I'd never be able to go on a morning run on my own. All of my friends would become targets for your enemies." I said.
"So this is my fault." He yelled.
"No, I want this I really do but this isn't a good time. I can't do this Dad. I love you I do but I don't want your life." I said.
"You don't want my life or you don't want me in your life." Dad said.
"Dad that's bullshit and you know it." I said crying.
"Is it? When is it ever going to be the right time Nora? When I die and you inherit Stark industries? Or when you get married and you have to explain to your husband your real name? Am I even going to get to meet my grandkids?" he said tears streaming down your face.
"Dad you're blowing this out of proportion? You'll tell the world before any of that happens just not now." I cried.
"I can't do this Nora. I'm trying to be the father you deserve but you're not letting me." He said.
"Dad you are the father I deserve and so much more. It doesn't matter whether the world knows because we do and at the end of the day that's all that matters." I said.
"That isn't enough anymore." Dad said.
"It has to be because I'm not ready for more." I said.
"Then what was the point of all of this." Dad said. "Because by the looks of it you had your mind made up before you got off the plane."
"I tried Dad I really did, It just didn't feel right." I said wiping tears off my face.
"I can't deal with you right now." Dad said walking back inside.
"I'm sorry dad." I said even though he probably didn't hear me.
I got up and walked back inside.
"I think it's time for us to go." I told Wren.
"Everything okay?" Rhodey asked.
"Yeah its fine, talk to you later dad." I said hugging him before making our way to the elevator.
"Nora what's going on?" Wren asked in the limo.
"Not now." I said.
We got dropped off in front of the building and as soon as we were in the clear Wren teleported us back to the penthouse.
"Talk. What's going on?" Wren said.
"Dad and I… uh crap." I said. The chills started running down my spine.
"Time Jump?" Wren asked.
"Time Jump." I confirmed as I started glowing. I closed my eyes and when the glowing finally faded I was at the compound.
"Nora's gone?" I heard Steve say.
"Yeah her time ran out she glowed and she was gone." Sam told him.
"Damn it, Was she okay. Her shoulder healed all right?" Steve asked.
"Not a mark on me." I said as I walked in.
"Nora." Steve said pulling me into a hug. "I thought you were gone."
"I was now I'm back." I said.
"I'll give you two a minute." Sam said as he left.
"Are you okay?" Steve said putting a hand on my cheek. "You've been crying."
"I got in a fight with my dad." I said.
"Want to talk about it?" He asked.
"Not really. Can we just get out of here for a bit? I need some air." I said.
"Yeah, Let's go." He said leading me out. We went to the garage and Steve led me to his bike. There was the same blonde woman from before and there were tears in her eyes as she glared at me. I really don't have time to care about her. I don't know how much time I had with Steve and I wasn't going to let anyone ruin it.
I put on the helmet he handed me and I put it on. I sat down behind him and wrapped my arms behind him and rested my head in between his shoulder blades.
We went up a trail that gave a pretty good view of the town close to the compound.
When we finally stopped we were at a clearing. Steve pulled out a picnic blanket from a satchel on his motorcycle and put it on the ground.
"This place is great. Reminds me of that one field we camped out in close to Amsterdam." I said.
"Yeah, missing the tulips though." Steve said.
"Yeah but the views better." I said making him smile.
We were quiet for a bit before I finally said what was on my mind. "I hate my life."
"What?" Steve said shocked.
"I hate my life. Every time I get even the tiniest bit of happiness it all gets taken away. I spent my entire life thinking I was never going to meet you or Bucky and he falls of the train and you chose to die. I get the best month of my life in New York with my Dad and I end up breaking his heart. He can't even look at me right now. Why Steve? Why can't I be happy?" I said tearing up.
"Nora," Steve said pulling me into a hug. I bury my head into his chest and sob. "I'm sorry beautiful, I so sorry. You don't deserve this." He said kissing my head.
"I miss you." I said.
"I know, I miss you too." He said kissing me. I put my hand on the side of his head and the other on his shoulder deepening the kiss.
"I love you." I whispered.
"I love you too." He said kissing me and moving so I was lying on the blanket and Steve was over me. He kissed me and started grinding his hips into mine.
"Steve." I moaned putting my legs around his waist and grinding against him in the perfect rhythm.
"Nora," He said kissing down my neck." I moved my hand under his shirt feeling his abs and muscular back making Steve gasp.
"I need you baby." Steve whispered. He moved a hand under my shirt and squeezed one of my breasts.
"Steve." I gasped. "Ah, so good. Need…"
"What do you need baby?" Steve said sucking on my neck and squeezing my breast again.
"You. AH! I-I Need…ah you." I said kissing him.
Steve flipped us over so I was straddling his legs. He pushed my coat jacket off and helped me take my top off. "So beautiful." He said kissing my breasts.
"AH," I gasped as he pinched one of my nipples. I moved my hand to the hem of his shirt and pulled it off of him. Steve slipped my bra off and started kneading my breasts making me arch my back into him. He started kissing down my neck to my collarbones before kissing down between my breasts.
I started unbuttoning his pants and he got the hint and started with mine as well. We flipped over and Steve pulled my pants off and stood up quickly and did the same with his. He kneeled down between my legs and bent over to kiss me.
"I love you." He said kissing me softly. I pulled him closer and deepened the kiss. Steve put a hand on my hip and lined himself up with the other. I felt him rub against my entrance. I looked up at Steve and nodded giving him the okay to go ahead.
He slowly eased into me.
"Ah, Steve." I moaned. It had been a while and Steve was stretching me almost painfully but it felt amazing.
"God, you're so tight babygirl." He grunted.
'Ah Steve so good." I panted. I wrapped my legs around him and pulled him closer pulling him in deeper.
Steve took the hint and started moving. It was like we had never been apart. We knew exactly what the other needed. Steve kept a slow even pace, enjoying every second of it. I kissed whatever I could reach until finally my climax started building up.
"Ah, baby." I moaned.
"You're close babygirl. I can feel you clenching around me. You're so good for me. I love you so much." Steve said picking up the pace
"Ah Steve, I'm gonna cu-um AH!" I shouted and just like that Steve came right at the same time.
"Ah Nora!." He groaned as he nuzzled his face into my neck.
We stayed like that riding out our orgasms in each other's arms until it passed. Steve sat up and pulled me onto his lap and covered me with his jacket.
"I love you." Steve said kissing my forehead.
"Love you too." I said kissing his chest.
"I never should have left you." He said.
"You shouldn't have." I said.
"I'm sorry." Steve said.
"I know you are." I said moving out of his lap and picking up my clothes.
"I am sorry. Really." Steve said.
"I know you are. And I love you. But I can't forgive you for that." I said. "You don't know the hell I went through after you were gone. You don't know about the three times I tried to kill myself because for me there was no point in moving on without you or Bucky. Bucky died without a choice. You willingly crashed that plane and didn't even bother to think about what would happen to me. You didn't even try to save yourself even though you could have. And despite how much you broke me I can't stop loving you."
"Nora I'm so sorry baby."
"I'm not telling you this because I want you to apologize what's done is done. I'm telling you this so you can understand the shit storm I'm dealing with. You came back from the dead but I'm not allowed to be near you. I hack into SHIELD files everyday to make sure you're okay. The only constant in my life is my Dad and I just broke his heart so you tell me Steve how do you live with it?" I cried.
"The only thing that gets me through the day is the fact that you two would have wanted me to move forward and protect everything we fought to protect. You were given gifts for a reason and I have seen you used them for that reason. You're the strongest person I know because no mater what you always put others before yourself no matter how much it hurts you. You don't have a selfish bone in your body and that's why the stone chose you. Because you never let that power go to your head and you always choose the greater good. I know it's hard and it's going to get harder but it will get better." He said wiping tears off my cheeks.
Then the chills started and I was glowing.
