The hour after the confession had been quite awkward. To avoid everyone, I'd run to my room like a princess, petty I know, but so am I. Castor had been silent, occasionally pacing the room, most likely processing the conversation. After a little while she'd appeared by my bedside, quietly tapping her feet on the floor, waiting for me to finish my crying fit.

From the little I saw of her, she was dressed in a black leather jacket which was a contrast to her normal white dress. Of course she was barefoot and her blonde curls were wrapped to one side.

"Look Becky, crying isn't going to achieve much," her voice was quiet, I imagined her taking on the form of a diplomat. Calculating and cool, which wasn't usually her style, she was forward, driven. Maybe things might work in politics.

I didn't reply.

"It would be better to, you know, do something rather than cry,"

"It hurts," I whispered, "I'm scared of what he's going to do to me. To them."

Castor sat next to my trembling form.

"And that's ok, but you can't protect anyone by crying, do something,"

So I did, I sought advice. In the form of one alcoholic-fuelled genius.

"Stark!" I cried, storming into his lab, Castor followed me, dropping the illusion that we'd taken when travelling through the house. Even though it didn't fool Loki... "I thought you said he was going to be in a cell!"

"Moonshine, I said no such thing," he spoke, turning away from a mechanical form and tapping on the holographic screen.

"What's this?" I whispered in curiousity. The mechanical figures were stamped with the Avengers symbol, keeping in a navy blue and white.

"Peacekeeping stuff, just in case, I don't like not having a backup plan," he said as I looked through his files, "Moonshine," he said warningly.

"And this?" I asked. Motioning to the plans of a much larger suit, built to withstand I repeat; a hulk-sized force. "The Hulkbuster, built to withstand my brother,"

"Can I ask, how did that happen? I thought-"

"A long and complicated story, ask Bruce if you want, it's his choice to disclose the information that he may not want to give out of his assassin sister,"

"You must've had your reasons," Tony tried.

"And I did," I spoke softly, "even though I couldn't help you directly, I still tried to. Helping within SHIELD when they didn't know it, taking out people who tried to take out their agents,"

"Wait." Stark said, pointing a pen-shaped object in my direction, "you were talking to Fury that he knew what was happening. Am I missing a show? Because I'd like to purchase tickets for this, especially if it's Loki getting Hulk-smashed again, I donated money to that one particular scene especially,"

I let out a huff, "this does not concern you Tony, SHEILD can handle their own problems, sometimes though, they need a little help,"

"This means your innocent, if what your saying is true, then your not a bad guy,"

"Doesn't matter," I dismissed, not admitting that I was comforted by the fact that the cuffs restrained my power. Despite my abilities slowly breaking them down over time. "Your getting me distracted, it was implied that he was going to be locked up. You can't have someone, the likes of him just running around,"

Castor stepped out from behind me and grabbed my shoulder, "Is this because you were afraid of the confrontation? Becky, you've got to be kidding me,"

"Castor stop." I shouted, my emotions beginning to increase like the building pressure on a jammed tap.

"Woah, this sounds like a girl thing, so I'm gonna zone out," Stark said, backing away, his hands held in surrender.

"No! Your scared and afraid of hurting them," Castor spat scathingly, "which doesn't mean that you have to run away like a cowardly lion!"

"How would you know?" I shouted, "your a freak of nature!"

"YOU ARE TOO!" She shouted back.

"You don't understand," I spoke deadly low, "Your the consciousness of a stupid rock,"

"A Tesseract, more powerful than you could ever be. But hey! At least I won't be weak like you,"

And in that moment I did something that I'd never expect to do.

I slapped my other half.

Castor tumbled into the wall and slid down it pathetically. For a moment she didn't move and my angry demeanour wavered. Then anger filled her eyes, a hatred, which I quickly reflected.

"Leave me alone!" I cried, "I don't need you! All you've done is cause pain and misfortune for me. Your a troublemaker, a thorn in my side, a sickness, a poison and I don't need you, so leave me alone,"

"Fine." She spat, wiping away a trail of blood, a deathly glare in her eyes, "I will,"

She stumbled to stand then stormed off, fading as she did.

It was if someone had stabbed me, I could feel the blood seeping through my fingertips, my chest blossomed in pain.

I collapsed to my knees, swaying slightly ironically whispering, "Castor," before blacking out.

A/N: Contrary to the title, Tony does not manage to hike his little idea any further because of Castor's interruption. Sorry about that Becky, you're gonna be wearing them fashion gags for a little while longer.

Ok, some new story ideas that I've been trying to come up with, cause I've had like one reply so far.

A) Becky's profession switches from scientist to hacker, I can make it work into the story, don't worry
B) Becky is Bruce's cousin rather than brother. I know you like the relationship but I'll make it a really close relationship, like they grew up together etc. and it'll give me some more time to develop Becky's backstory. Plus, it makes the age differences justifiable.
C) Becky having a stronger love interest. So from what I could tell you guys liked the BeckyxPeter relationship however, you guys voted for her to be single in the first book... So, I don't know *confused face*
D) Anti-Clintasha. So as some of you might know, I am very big on sticking to the official movie storyline, just mostly to make the story more believable etc. however, in the new Age of Ultron there is no Clintasha, like nada, #spoiler but there's negative Clintasha. Like Marvel, you just can't go and make Hawkeye a family when the ship is so strong?! Jeez!

Anyway, please leave your thoughts. :)
