"Blake!" Uncle fury yelled rushing to my bedside. I was sweating, worse I was hyperventilating.

"Calm down blake, you're okay, no ones mad at you alright?" He sais trying to calm me down.

Tears ran down my face. I took deep breaths and sniffed. My nose was stuffy. I needed to know if uncle Steve was okay.

"Where's Steve?" I finally asked through tears.

"I'm here Blake," he said. Uncle Steve had a cast on his arm.

I was a monster.

I looked away before letting the tears take over completely, letting my body rack with sobs.

"I'm sorry uncle Steve...i-I'm so so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you," I cried out, I tried to stop but my body said otherwise.

I shouldn't have been able to hurt him, he was a super soldier wasn't he?

"Blake it's okay, you just don't know how to control your powers yet, something we can easily work on," Steve said rubbing my back.

"Carol should've taught her something before she sent her," Tony said.

Mom never got the chance to help me. She never will.

I started crying even more. My eyes were red from crying so much.

"Blake I'm okay, it's just my arm that's in a cast," Steve said trying to calm me down but I kept crying.

I couldn't let them know the truth. I couldn't, they'd take me to them. To the kree. Have what's left of my mom taken from me, from my body. They'd watch. They'd want nothing to do with me. Not with someone who hurt their teammate. Not with someone who has power she can't control. Not with someone who's being hunted down and putting them and all of what and who they love in danger. Not with a seventeen year old girl they didn't know they now had to raise as their own since she couldn't go back home.

"Blake it's okay," Steve said. I looked at him, my eyes were red and puffy. "I'm sorry," I said. I hugged him tight. He hugged me back gently with his good arm.

"It shouldn't take long for my arm to heal okay? So stop crying. And hey, maybe we train to get your powers straight first? Send you back home with your mom-"

"No. Carols on a mission. Didn't say when she'd be back," Fury said cutting him off.

Steve nods slowly as if he knew uncle fury was making it up. "Okay, then we'll have Bruce train her or one of the new kids," he said.

"New kids?" I asked, my throat was horse. Steve nods. "We can talk about it later mini marvel, get some sleep. You need it," he said.

"I'm not tired though uncle Steve," I said to him. I was a bit calmer down, my eyes were still red and my voice was still horse but I could talk clearer than before without sniffing.

Aunt Nat was wiping my eyes and cheeks free of tears and kissing my forehead.

"When you wake up we'll have a surprise for you okay?" Steve said. "Promise me you'll get some sleep blake and not stress over this," he said.

I looked at him then looked down.

"I promise,"

"She's asleep now, you want to tell us the truth yet fury?" Natasha asked.

Fury chuckled. "What the hell are you talking about Natasha?" He asked.

"She's saying cut the crap and tell the truth," Steve said. "Everyone else is asleep the only reason we aren't is because we'd worried about mini marvel," Steve said.

Fury sighed.

"Cap i can't," Fury said.

"What do you mean you can't? What does that even mean fury?" Natasha asked.

"I mean that I can't. Carols on a mission, it's compromised. I can't say anymore than that," fury said.

Steve sighed. "At least tell us where carol went to on her mission," he said.

Fury shook his head.

"Can't do that either, look, just help my Niece control her powers before you introduce her to the other kids, can you two do that without issues?" Fury asked.

Steve and Natasha were still on edge from fury not being truthful but they both knew it was for good reason.

"Fine," Steve and Natasha said.

Steve went out of the room going to his shared room with Bucky.

Natasha got up and walked to the door before turning to fury.

"Is the cat really missing?" She asked.

"Yes," fury said. "I plan on getting another one for her birthday coming up," he added.

Natasha nodded. "And you can't even handle telling me the truth?" She asked.

Fury sighed. "Natasha, the truth is...Blake's being hunted by carols home planet. Carol went there for her mission and we lost contact so her other mother sent her here for protection," he said.

Natasha nods and turns her heel.

"Now was that so hard to say fury?" She asked him before leaving.

Fury was finally alone. He put his head in his hands.

"Yes...it was," fury trailed

"because that's another lie for the truth I promised to keep," he said.

As Blake got into the car with her bag, Maria came up to me.

"Don't tell the avengers about carols death. I know it's not right because she was their teammate but it's only for their protection and for Blake's protection," Maria said.

"I understand maria," I said putting a hand up.

"Fury I'm serious. You can not tell them anything." Maria sais again.

"I know Maria I won't, I'm not going t-"

"Promise me." Maria said.

"Excuse me?" Fury asked.

"On behalf of carol. Promise me that you won't tell the avengers about this, promise me that you will keep my baby safe," Maria said to me looking me dead in the eye. "Promise me," she said.

"I promise," I said.

"Secrets are in place for a reason, I promise not to tell," I said.

* * *

I had my head in my hands before getting up and going to check on Blake. She was knocked out. I smiled and kissed her head gently. "Goodnight Blake, the secrets safe," I said.  I left closing the door, not even noticing that Natasha was in the chair watching Blake sleep.
