Chapter 5
"Whoa Whoa slow down Laura, calm down what has happened?" Steve spoke into the mobile phone he had to his ear, a worried expression plastered his face.
"Clint and his friend Scott he went to meet today with the kids, they were attacked by some men and ….OH MY GOD I don't what I'm gonna!" Laura screamed in response down her phone as she sat at her kitchen table. Her left arm hugged around Cooper who was sat next to her, burying his head into his mums chest and sobbing.
" It's going to be OK Laura we will find them just calm down for me, are the kids aright and are they with you now" Steve quickly butted in.
Laura took a deep breath to compose herself "Yes the kids are safe and all here, even Scott's little girl is with me as well" The petit woman took her gaze off the table surface and looked into the other room. On the sofa laid both Lila and Cassie who were both peacefully sleeping, topping and tailing each with other with a pink blanket trapesed over them.
"The girls are both sleeping, took a while but they have finally dozed off and Cooper is right here with me" she looked down at her son, rubbing his arm to give the young boy some comfort.
"OK good now I need some more information from you can you tell me exactly what happened or do you think Cooper will be able to help if he is up too it" Steve questioned
"I'm not sure….Cooper sweetie?" Laura rubbed on the small boys arm even harder which made him look up at his mum. His eyes were completely bloodshot with fresh tear littering his face. " Do you think you can talk to Captain America for me and tell him exactly what happened, I can put the phone on loud speaker if it will make it easier for you"
"Can I have it on loud speaker" Cooper sniffed and with that Laura pressed the speaker button and put the phone down on the table in front of them.
"OK Steve you are on loudspeaker Copper is going to explain what happened to you" Said Laura
"Well done son you are being very brave. Now tell me in your own words what you can remember" Steve's soft voice came through the phone.
Cooper let out another sniff and then began to explain "We were at the park with dad and his friend and me, Lila and Cassie were playing in the playground together. Dad and Scott were sitting on the bench watching us and then some men came" The young boy began sobbing as he spoke
"It's OK Copper, your dad will be OK" Steve voice again came from the phone. Taking a deep breath Cooper continued
"They came out off know where and started hitting dad and Scott a lot, I tried to help….I was running to help them but Scott told me too get Lila and Cassie away and get help so I did" there was then a long pause " I should off stayed I should off tried harder and help but….. I ran away, I'm sorry" At this point Cooper broke down, he couldn't hold back the flood of tears as the whole ordeal finally hit hard. Laura wrapped both her arms arounds the small boy and began to sob herself. It was killing her to know the amount off grief her son was feeling and couldn't take his pain away.
"You have nothing to sorry for you were so brave and did the right thing, you got your sister and Cassie to safety and that was really important your dad will be really proud of you and don't worry we will find him and bring him home. Promise" Steve reassured the young boy. "OK son I now need to now speak to your mother for a minute"
Cooper rubbed his nose with his jumper sleeve and got up from his seat "OK" his voice came out in a small murmur
Laura patted her son on his back watched as he pushed back his chair so he could stand. "Could you go in the other room for me sweetie and look after Lila and Cassie for me, I'll come join you in a minute" Cooper shook his head in agreement and made his way into the other room without a word.
Once he was sat in the chair opposite the sofa that housed his little sister and Cassie. Laura picked up the phone, taking it off loudspeaker and putting it to her ear. "OK Steve your off loudspeaker now"
"Laura I don't want to worry you but I don't think it would be the best idea for you and the kids bot to stay there, not until the whole situation is sorted, in the meantime I am going to send for you all and bring you but to the Avengers facility until this is all over " Steve said in a calm but still serious tone.
Laura bit her lip and shook her head as she listened to what the Super Soldier was saying to her. "I understand but what about Cassie will she be coming to or do you want me too somehow get her to her grandparents' house or even find a way to contact her mum or something?"
"No the best thing for her is to comes to, no one in Scott's family know about him being on the team and we don't know who is still around. I will contact Hope Van Dyne who is Scott's girlfriend and inform her with what's happened. At least then Cassie will have a similar face with her". Steve replied
Listening to the man at the other end off the phone Laura then began to pinching the bridge off her nose, still trying to process what was happening "OK" she answered back
"Good in the meantime lock the doors and don't answer them to anyone OK, I will be sending my team mate Sam Wilson to get you. He will inform me when he arrives and I will call you too let you know he's there" the voice again came through the phone again. "And Laura…I promise you Clint will be OK we will find him and bring him home safely. I never go back on my word"
At this point the grieving woman finally broke down and let the tears she had been holding back finally reflow. " Please do Steve I need him, the kids need their father and Cassie needs her dad too . You've gotta find them and bring them home, back where they belong"
