Chapter 30
Violet snarled as she pulled a bullet out of her chest throwing it to the ground of the hotel room that she was staying in with Howard.
Howard watched with a concerned look upon his face as he heard her snarl. "I'm sorry." He said, holding his hands up in defeat. "I didn't expect them to fire their weapons."
"Howard, they took bad weapons from you, of course they're going to shoot." She said as she rolled her shoulders back as the wound in her chest healed up only leaving a hole now in her much ruined shirt. "Damn it I loved this shirt too." She said with a huff shaking her head lightly.
"It was my fault that this happened."
"Maybe next time that you get close to a lady don't bring her near your weapons… or anywhere near where you have information of where your weapons are hiding." She said rolling her shoulders once again as she got the feeling back to circulate to her chest.
"You know Vi, we never really got to talk about that." He pointed to her healing abilities.
Violet let out a breath shaking her head lightly. "You want to know about my healing abilities…" She said softly as she sat down. She knew that there was no way that she would be able to tell him exactly what was going on.
Howard nodded his head. "Yes, we never really talked about it…"
Violet let out a breath sitting down resting her head on her hands. "Honestly Howard, I don't know why I'm able to heal." She admitted softly before running her hand through her hair. "It's something that I never thought about going into… and neither has my brother."
Howard pursed his lips together in thought. "It is a mutation of some kind."
"But happening in the human race so soon? I was born in 1832 Howard. No human should have that sort of ability in that era." She said, shaking her head.
Howard let out a breath. "I want to thank you for coming out with me."
Violet let out a laugh shaking her head. "You know that I won't be around here for long." She pointed out as she looked at him.
"Oh you're not going to be around for too long."
Violet shook her head.
"Why is that?"
"I can't have people keep finding out about my healing abilities." She said, shaking her head lightly. "Besides… you have Peggy on the case of what happened to your bad weapons."
"But you can help with getting my bad babies back."
Violet let out a scoff shaking her head lightly. She looked down at the ground for a moment, her heart clenching in her chest. She always threw herself into any sort of work to keep herself from feeling. But what made her heart break the most at that moment was that she wasn't keeping herself busy as she normally did. Her hand went up to her cheek and wiped an offending tear away from her eye.
Howard swallowed the lump in his throat waiting for her to say something. His eyes widened when he saw her wipe the tear away. "You're still not alright." He said softly knowing that was a problem for the woman that he had grown to know so well.
Violet looked up at him. "I'm fine." She said softly, trying her best to play it off.
"Liar. I know you well enough to know that you're not over what happened to Sergeant Barnes."
Violet let out a breath as she wiped a few more tears away from her eyes.
"Letty I know it has been a short amount of time since Barnes passed… but the Letty I know wouldn't allow this to happen. You would be…"
"Howard, I'm trying…" She said cutting him off not wanting to hear it. "I would bury myself in work, but this can only go on for so long…"
"And you think tears are going to make everything better?"
"Howard." She snarled giving him a warning tone.
Howard let out a breath.
"I'm still mourning him, Howard. I haven't had much of a chance to mourn him." She said as she crossed her arms. "Which is why after today I'm done helping you on trying to get your bad babies as you call them…"
"I thought you would want to be working?"
"Howard chasing down your babies isn't something that I want to do. It's not something that will keep my mind busy… plus people were shooting at you earlier." She shook her head.
"So back to Canada with you?"
Violet nodded her head slowly. "I'm better off being in a quiet setting." She admitted softly rubbing her arms softly knowing that this wasn't the easiest thing that she was doing. But she needed to do it. "Just don't do anything stupid Howard."
"I'm the smartest man in the world…"
Violet let out a soft chuckle. "Says the man that blew his lab up with just touching one of Hydra's weapons." She pointed out.
Howard let out a breath. "That was the only time that it happened." He pointed out looking at her.
"Says also the man that picked up a blue glowing cube from the ocean floor." She said, crossing her arms.
"Hey, that cube could help with energy problems."
Violet let out a breath shaking her head lightly. "And that cube gives me a strange feeling. We're messing with something that we shouldn't be messing with."

Please leave a review and let me know what you think of this chapter. I'm going to try to keep up with my weekly updates. Reviews help me keep going when it comes to writing. Until next time.
