I See Hell in your eyes.
Chapter six
Emma sat on the table for a minute playing with her hands. She didn't really want to talk about it. "You think you know monsters." She said looking at Bruce. "You haven't seen a monster until you've met mine." She slipped off of the counter and walked out of the lab. She didn't know where she was going but she just kept walking.
Emma tried not to think about her past. She hated most of the things that she had done. But she couldn't stop thinking about it. She was 7 when it had happened. Her father stumbled into the house, slamming the door. Her mother was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen when her father started shouting. Emma was terrified. When her father was mad he was abusive. Throwing bottles and anything he could get his hands on. Emma was trying to shut out the noise of her father and mother fighting by playing with her dolls when she heard her mother scream and then a loud bang. Emma froze in place clutching her doll to her chest. Then another bang and then another. The sound of her racing heart was throbbing in her ears, her entire body was shaking. Tears escaped her eyes as she tried to calm herself.
The sound of foot steps made her jump. She quickly hid under er bed taking her doll with her. Emma curled herself up in a ball trying to hold back her sobs. She had no idea what was going on or who was coming down the hall.
Emma was brought out of her thoughts when she ran into something hard. Letting out a slight gasp of surprise she looked up to see Steve. He looked down at her at first giving her a smile, but it faded when he saw the look on her face. It was a mix of anger surprise and terror. "Emma are you ok?" He asked placing his hands on her shoulders.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Emma couldn't bring herself to make eye contact with him. Steve was to nice and would surely pry with out trying, but Emma still didn't want to talk about it.
"You're a bad lair. If you don't want to talk about it you don't have to." He said placing his finger under her chin making her look up at him. "Is there anything I can do to help?" Emma couldn't help but give a small smile.
"Thank you Steve. And do you know if they keep alcohol on the ship?" He looked at her slightly surprised.
"I'm not sure. But I can help you look."
After Emma left Tony looked at Bruce. "Well then." He said before fighting with what was on his screen. "I think it has something to do with her past." He kept moving things around like he was digging for something.
"What are you doing?" Bruce asked as he looked at the other man over his glasses.
"I've been using JARVIS to crack into S.H.I.E.L.D's data base and I came across her files. I wasn't going to read them unless they had any of her pictures from being an art model. But this seems to be interesting." Tony looked up at Bruce giving him a small childish smile. Bruce shook his head.
"You can't do that. If she wanted us to know then she would have told us."
"Well then she'll never tell us. We'll have to find out on our own. You don't have to take part in this." Tony gave a slight smirk as he looked back at Bruce. "But if are any pictures then you wont get to see them" Bruce thought about this for a little before walking next to Tony. "I knew you'd come around."
After 2 hours of searching for alcohol Emma gave up and decided to go back to the lab. When she walked in she saw Tony and Bruce looking at Tony's computer screen. Neither of them noticed her come in. They were reading something. As she walked over to get a closer look at what they were looking at. It was her files.
"Find anything interesting?" She asked as she crossed her arms.
