A/N: Thanks to JoMiSm for reviewing!
We do not own the Avengers
It has been 2 hours since my since my mother came to visit. I almost had a panic attack! I sat on my bed, knees up to my face, I sat there shaking. How could this be happening my memory... was I wrong? I remember mom and dad talking about how they didn't want to give me up, the mother that walked into that room wasn't the one I vaguely remember.
Then again... I was an infant how good could my memory of been? Maybe I saw a movie and was convinced that was what happened. It's what I wanted to believe. I've had the dream countless times, of my mom and dad coming back and we being a happy family; but that dream only became half true. I may be a skilled fighter and can turn into a wolf, but I was still young none the less and the evil grin and uncharming look of my mother shocked me back to reality.
Tony and Clint had kicked her out seeing the shock Blair and I were in... Blair... she is my half sister, how could two totally different people come from that same mother who seems cold and heartless. Our fathers may be two totally different people but how could we all end up together like this. Destiny? Or a weird coincidence, how did she find us... was she actually looking and why has she come back? What is she trying to prove?
Kenton sat next to me passing me a drink of water. He suddenly seemed very different. Not in a bad way but his eyes showed concern and worry.
"Here, drink this." he said handing it to me. I took it still a little shaky and took a sip.
"What's up? You seem... different" I said looking at him. He rubbed the back of his head and looked forward.
"I know I may be a goof but I see how shocked and taken off guard you are. I thought you were gonna faint back there... I don't see why you are worried about me. I'm worried about you."
I couldn't help but smile a little bit; I looked down at the water in my glass feeling stupid. He was right I did think of him as a goof, but now that I have spent more time with him I have really seen the real person in him. Then again what do I know about being normal, I can turn into a wolf and fight someone twice my size. Looking at him now I see a kinder caring side I didn't see before.
"Do your brothers ever see this side of you?" I asked. He shook his head.
"No, I'm usually the goof of the family, can't take anything seriously, at least that's how everyone sees me. I haven't showed this side in awhile. Not since I was with my mother."
Now that if think of it. I never did hear about his family. He knows about my dad and now my mother but his never really came up.
"If you don't mind me asking... what happened to your mother?"
His compassion soon changed to sadness as he told me about his mother.
"She died when I was young. I was maybe 5 at the time; she took great care of me and loved me. She was very ill and my birth father was a drunk who treated her poorly. He would smack and yell at her every day, but she put up with it for me. If she left him he would take the house and we would be on the streets. she had a weak heart so one time he pushed her to hard and she had a heart attack... I ran to her side pleading for father to help but he said she deserves to die she's nothing but a bitch so I couldn't do anything but kneel there as she died..."
As he finished his story I felt almost in tears, not only me but Kenton almost did to. He went through so much watching that happen to his mother.
"I... I'm so sorry Kenton... that must of been hard to live with your whole life..."
"I know... it's not your fault very few people know about that day... I've always been scared to get close to others after that." he said looking down. He has been so honest with me that... I should be honest with him.
"Meet me outside in 10 minutes… I need to show you something."
Kenton looked at me confused but he nodded. I went outside into the woods. There was a slight chill as the wind blew through the leaves. I know what I was about to do was risky but I now know that I can trust him... but how he will react is something I don't know.
Letting my body sink into its wolf form I looked around, everything now in black and white, my ears twitched as I listened to all the sounds of the forest. I may have wolf like hearing as a human but in my wolf form its more controllable. Hiding behind a bush I waited for Kenton to come outside... it's time he got to see the real me.
