"You two don't have to hide anything from me. I already know what's going on here" Tony said with a sly grin.
Keiland's face turned from bashful red to infuriatingly red. "Just because you can read a picture book does not mean you can read people. Why don't you tell me what you did last night. I'm sure we'd all love to hear." She said in a teasing voice.
"Actually, I wouldn't" Bruce said almost instantly. His cheeks had turned thoroughly red. Keiland could sense Banner's embarrassment.
"Well if you must know…" Tony exclaimed in a modest tone.
Keiland held up her hand to stop Tony from talking. She had to agree with Bruce; she did not want to know what he did.
"Then explain to me what happened last night that had you waking up in our brilliant doctors room." Tony said with a sarcastic smile.
"I honestly have no recollection of what happened last night. I really don't. I went looking for you two in the lab and I blacked out with an overwhelming headache. When I awoke, I seemed to be in a dream. Then my instincts to over and I awoke in Bruce's room." Keiland stated, being sure to pronounce her words, speaking softly in the direction of the two men as if she was embarrassed.
"One of your powers?" Tony questioned.
Keiland didn't have time to respond before she got an acute, piercing pain in head. She fell into a dream like state where she saw herself and a man she couldn't quite make out. She was lying in a bed and was holding onto his hands. He looked as though he had just been asked a question with no true answer..
"I don't want to hurt you." he said his eyes brimmed with tears,
"You won't. " she said, her now pale hands grabbing the sides of his face.
"I could and then... I don't know if I could live with myself." he said, in one last choking sob before Keiland regained conciseness.
As Keiland regained her consciousness. She could hear the distant voices of Tony and Bruce muttering her name.
"Huh?" she asked looking up at the two brunettes.
"We asked if you were okay." Tony said.
"Did you black out again?" Bruce asked after.
"I guess, but this time it didn't feel like a dream. It felt so real. I feel that it may have been a vision of the future." She said looking at them skeptically. She almost didn't believe it herself.
"That would make sense with you having your other powers and all." Tony said sighing.
"About that.." Keiland trailed off looking guilty.
"What?" Bruce and Tony said at the same time.
"I may or may not be having some difficulty with my powers." She said looking at them men as if she were a child getting in trouble.
"What does that mean Sunshine?" Tony asked.
"I haven't been able to read minds or turn invisible since my first game night." she said softly.
"Oh Sunshine." Tony said wrapping her in a hug sympathetically.
"It's alright, Tony. I'm fine. It's not a big deal." She said hugging him back.
"So you lost all ability to use any of your powers? " Bruce inquired.
"Yeah. well, at least until last night. If that can even be called a power. I'm still not sure what happened." She sighed.
"Do you mind if I do some blood work?" Bruce questioned awkwardly. Keiland nodded and let him take the blood he needed.
"Well, I'm going to take a shower and get dressed for the day." Keiland uttered while wrapping an arm around Tony, and giving him a light peck on the cheek.
At this, Bruce got a feeling in the pit of his stomach. He couldn't quite place it. He shook it off and continued to work on the blood work. While Keiland left the room, he found himself watching her leave. He glanced up and got a look from Tony, that indicated he knew something that Bruce did not, to which he only responded by looking back down and getting back to work.
*Keiland's POV*
As I left the lab I bumped into Clint who looked fatigued.
"Have a rough night, Curley?" I asked with a playful smile.
"You have no idea, K.K. Your sister hogs the covers more than anyone I have ever had to share them with previously, and I've had to share them with you before." He said returning my smile.
"Firstly, I lived with her for more than twelve years. Secondly, I am not a blanket hog. Bed hog? Yes, Yes I am." I said winking at him as I continued to my ensuite bathroom.
I arrived in my bathroom and started the shower and let it get warm. Once it had warmed up, I got in and let the warm water cascade down my back and sooth my muscles. After I had washed thoroughly, I got out and dried off. I put on some clothes and smelled the shirt again, it smelt of Tony's cologne. I put on a necklace, a bracelet, and earring trio that Tony had bought me a few years ago for my birthday, and headed out to see if anyone wanted to hangout. I needed something to keep my mind off of the tests. Something about the way Bruce looked at me, when he said he wanted to take tests, frightened me.
I walked down the hallway to the elevator and pressed the button. I waited for about a minute and a half, before it opened and revealed Bruce standing there looking down, cleaning his glasses.
"Hi Bruce." I said walking in and standing at the other side of the elevator.
"Hello Keiland." he replied awkwardly. Just as he finished talking, the elevator shook and stopped.
"Jarvis, is everything okay?" I asked loudly.
"The elevators have stopped working." Jarvis replied.
"Why is that?" Bruce said practically reading my mind.
There was a pause and then Jarvis replied, " Technical difficulties, Sir". They will be resolved within the next half hour."
Just great an awkward elevator ride just turned into a awkward sitting game.
"So Bruce. Do you know how I got into your room?" I asked hesitantly.
He hadn't said anything for about five minutes before he sighed loudly and started to explain, "When you went looking for Tony and me last night, I had already fallen asleep and as you know, Tony was gone. From what I remember, I was dreaming of the woman who betrayed me and why she did. Then, out of nowhere, you showed up and calmed the other guy down almost instantly. I thought it was all a dream, well, until I woke up and you were lying on the floor unconscious and in the same thing you wore in my dream. That is when I figured that you had gained another ability. You looked so peaceful on ground that I almost let you lay there. And I almost did until you started to squirm, looking really uncomfortable. I picked you up and because my room was closer and I didn't want to have to answer Steve's questions about why I was carrying you, I took you to my room and let you sleep there." When Bruce finished I was silent. I couldn't form words. It was like I had just swallowed a lot of cotton. Then Bruce started talking again rubbing the back of his neck, "Keiland, it's okay if you don't want to be around me anymore. I understand, I overstepped the boundaries and.." I don't know why but I got on my tip toes and kissed Bruce, cutting his sentence off.
It wouldn't have been so bad if it was a cheek kiss, but I had kissed his lips. I pulled away quickly and I was thanking any God there was that the elevator had opened. I ran as fast as I could to Natasha's room and closed the door; leaving Bruce standing stunned in the elevator.
