2 years. 2 years since things were happy. All our lives were changed the day I was put in that coma. Everyone seemed to treat me differently around me, more cause. Like they would hurt me in some way. My wolf and I have been closer in a way, he trains me and tells stories of what he called the "KGB" era. He explained what I saw in my dream, he and my mother were in a very secretive relationship. We would train everyday for 5 hours. I needed to keep my mind off of Phoenix and everything that has happened because of him.

Dad had left his laptop open one day so I thought that I would take a look. I knew of an agent that released all the files on HYDRA but a very secret few remained a mystery. I thought I would look for anything on Phoenix. I knew his biological parents were, my "uncle", Peter Parker and his partner Wade Wilson.

I slammed the computer shut, throwing it on the chair I was sitting on. Is this why he is so messed up, why he snapped? Peter was murdered so that they could have his kid. But why? Everything about him fell into place. His action, the way he was afraid of us for a year after moving in. There was something that seemed so right about our friendship though. The feeling that we were meant to be friends keeps pulling at me, like I'm the one to help him through this. My mind was racing trying to take in this information.

Today was special though. Today Phoenix turns 18 and he would still be locked in confinement. I have lived 7 years of my life trying to figure out who he really was and now I know. All his suffering is because of HYDRA. They took him from a young age and tortured him for years. All the pain he holds is not his own, but the monster they created. I muse over this as I take the elevator to the floor that holds Phoenix's chamber. He's sitting on the floor, hunched possessively over something. I think it's a book of some sort.

"I remembered." Phoenix says it without turning around. I still get the creeps from the fact he can just tell who's around him. "My name."

"That's... good." I say, sitting down outside the chamber. "What was it?"

"Phoenix Wilson-Parker." He flips another page in the book. "Names and faces have been kinda piecing themselves together. Other things, too. Wanda thinks it's a good thing but Tony doesn't. It triggers..." He shrugs, still flipping through the book. "And I remembered you."

"You... remembered me, from when?" I look at him as I question what he was talking about. I can't think of anytime that I have known him except these 7 years.

"We were kids growing up here. My parents were really good friends with Tony." Phoenix closes the book, turning to look at me for the first time. "Tony wiped all your memories of me so you wouldn't be in any danger. But we knew each other. We were friends." I try to understand what he's saying. My Dad wiped all memory I had of my best friend? Is this why I feel like I have to help him? And... why wouldn't Dad have told me? I lean back, trying to recall anything, but I can't. I pull out my tablet, and then pause.

"JARVIS, are there any videos of me and Phoenix?" I ask, and Jarvis uploads several files to my tablet. I share my tablet screen to the screen in Phoenix's chamber, clicking the first file. Dad is holding a bundle, which I realize is me. Phoenix is trying to look in the bundle, Peter holding him up as he does.

"Wha's it do?" Phoenix looks at Dad, and Dad laughs.

"It exists." Dad says, and I laugh. Despite the how odd this situation is, and how strange it is to see these things I don't remember, it's such a Tony Stark answer. Phoenix seems entranced by the baby Me, and Peter picks him up, Phoenix putting his head on Peter's shoulder.

"Can I have it?" Phoenix asks, and Peter and Tony both start laughing. I can hear another voice, and I think it's Wade. He says something about not needing anymore kids. I hardly recognize this younger Phoenix, without all the scars. For a moment, I wonder what life would have been like if Peter and Wade weren't killed. Would Phoenix still be here, or would he have gone to college somewhere? Dad had told me that Phoenix is extremely smart. Would he have gone to school and been popular, with friends and a girlfriend? Would he have been friends with me as he got older, or... I shake my head, not wanting to think that.

Each day I come back to see how he's doing and bring him something new. Yesterday it was a picture of his parents that I found, and today it was just another book from his room. "How are you feeling today?" I wondered while walking into his "chamber" room. When I looked up I saw him just sitting there on the floor. He looked sad, he seemed to be distant or thinking about something.

"Phoenix, look at me. I promise I will find a way to get you out and fixed for good". He looked at me in the eyes and just whispered a small thank you. Running to my room I pull out my phone and try to contact Shuri. All those years ago she helped James and I need to see if she can help again.
