Tonight was the night. Sam heard wind of Karli's new attack site and now was the time to act on it. Let's just say the helicarryer was a stark contrast to the peaceful event of the night before. I tried to rid the thought of Luis' anniversary to focus as it was the only way. What? Some old people are adorable.

"You okay doll?" Buck massaged my thigh from next to me. I hadn't realised that my leg was bouncing until he did. Truth be told I was mainly just nervous to fight this kid. Reason 1 being that those kids were incredibly strong...reason 2 being that I don't want to hurt said kids and reason 3 being that I was exhausted. I know we had the calm before the storm at Sam's but I was still so tired. Thoughts of having a break were whirling around my brain trying to attack my mentality. I love my job don't get me wrong but I needed to take care of myself for a bit and I would always be on hand in case the world was going to end. Well you get what I mean. However the other part of my brain was telling me that that option was selfish. Confusing right?

"Yeah I'm okay...just nervous." It was wasn't technically lie...it just wasn't a full truth. Part of me was worried that he was going to be mad that I wanted I break. It may sound crazy to you but I just over think.

"Yeah you been shakin like you got hypothermia." Sam joked which very quickly earned a glare from Buck. "Sorry."

"You look good in the suit." I complimented gesturing at his red white and blue get up.

"You look good in yours." He pointed me up and down. Well the whole thing about the princess being bored was bullshit...good ol'e sergeant Barnes actully requested it. The suit was white with with black cutout on the sides. I believe it was made of vibranium. "Also as mentioned...Nat's staff is over there." He pointed to the box that lay atop another. It was weirdly ominous...I was almost scared to open it but despite that I felt the need to open it. The staffs have just lay around for years...and that's not fair on Nat. Nat deserved to be out and fighting and this was the only way I could think of.

I stalked over to the box and stood before it. I nervously drummed my fingers on the lid of the box. It might sound dumb to you that I was scared but I was terrified. Yeah it was a small piece of her and I was scared I would let it down.

"Want me to open it for you?" Sam offered kindly but I politely declined. Finally I worked up the courage to open it. In it lay two staffs but ontop of those lay a note. And it read:
