MORNING CAME AND I was quick to get out of bed once my alarm went off. The videotape replayed in my mind the entire time— I want to know why dad had been fighting Uncle Bucky and mom. But no one would give me an answer. And that really sucked. I decided to skip school and hunt down Uncle Banner.
Which wasn't hard at all.
"We can't bring James back," Bruce says.
I scoff. "Why not!?"
Bruce sighs. "Because you'd be creating a timeline without James... and they need him."
"Well, I need my dad!"
"Natasha, you're smarter than this. You need to let go of your past." Bruce softly says. "It's what he would've wanted you to do."
"No! You got to say goodbye! I didn't. Why do I have to grow up without my dad?" I shout, I was growing angry and annoyed. "Everyone keeps telling me to let go, but I can't! Mom created a whole new reality with him and made us and everyone was fine with it? It's not fair!"
Bruce frowns.
"I'm sorry for raising my voice," I say, as I lowered my voice. lI-I just I- miss him. There are so many questions I have— the world needs James Rogers. I need him."
"I know."
"Just let me have at least a few months with him, that's all I ask."
Bruce hesitates but nods. "Fine. But it'll take me a day or two to finish setting up a new suit and stuff. So until then— just go to school."
I glance at my watch and notice it's still only eight in the morning. "Fine," I softly say before hugging the green man. "Thank you, I love you."
"Love you too, kid."
With that, I ran outside and made my way to the car. I then drive back to school and realized I made it back just on time for 2nd period.
"Where the hell were you?" Jessica huffs, she comes walking towards me.
"Dealing with family shit." I simply reply.
Jace hums, he comes from behind as well. "You ready for tomorrow?"
