"Right after they gave me the serum, I slowly lost my hearing until I could not hear anything. I have a feeling that the serum may have reacted with my system in a way that is unexplainable, and I probably will never find out why," I say as the others stared at me in shock.
"Tony told me that you would be coming, but he sure as hell didn't tell me about your disability!" Fury yelled. I hated the word, disability. It makes me feel like they think I can't do anything.
"I don't see my hearing loss as a disability," I say angrily, stressing on the word disability. "I merely see it as a lifelong challenge I will have to endure everyday. I grow stronger everyday because of my challenge. Yes, it does make things tough for me, but I don't give a damn. I refuse to allow anyone to tell me that I can't do what I know I can do."
The room was silent. I contuined talking.
"Growing up, I never had very many friends, mostly because of my dad being Iron Man, but I have also been held back from doing what I wanted. If any of y'all think you can stop me from participating on missions, think again. I don't back down from a fight."
I left the training room, furious that my dad's boss would treat me like that. I just kept walking until I reached an balcony that allowed me to look around outside. I stared out the window, wishing that my dad was here because he would know what to do. After a few minutes, I hear footsteps and look to see that it was Steve approaching.
"Are you alright?" he asks me.
I sigh. "Still kind of mad at Fury for treating me like that. I just wish my dad would hurry up and get here already. I'm already beginning to think that maybe I don't beling here on the helicarrier."
"That's not true. I honestly think you belong here on the helicarrier. Fury doesn't realize it, but I think we could use your help. I'm mad at him too for treating you so badly. I did not even know you couldn't hear until a couple of minutes ago," he replies, putting his hand on my shoulder.
I smile a little. "Thanks Steve. So... I hear that you were frozen in the ice for over seventy years." He sighed as the memories began to resurface.
"I- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring back bad memories," I apologize as I see his expression change.
"No, it's okay. Yes, I was frozen in the ice for over seventy years."
