A beeping noise brought me out of an unconscious state.

"What the hell." I muttered as I held my pounding head with one hand and tried to wipe my eyes with the other but my hand was yanked back.

I looked at my hand and what was on my wrist caught my attention.

Handcuffs.

No- the pink furry handcuffs.

Romanoffs perhaps?

The door opened and Steve walked in, he had a grim look on his face.

"What? What is it?" I asked slowly

"Fury doesn't trust you, neither does Romanoff or Tony."

I rolled my eyes "I never expected them too, what about Pietro? And Wanda?"

"I'm surprised you still care about Pietro, but Wanda she had been missing you a whole lot."

"I still love Pietro, even though it hurts a whole lot to think about what happened."

There was a pause before Steve spoke up. "What the hell happened Willow."

My breath had caught in my throat, my lungs felt tighter and my heart sped up.

"I don't know... Pietro and I... We had an argument, he left and I broke down, and then there was this girl-me."

"You?" Steve asked as he raised his eyebrows

I nodded my head "I know it sounds crazy, but it was me, wearing black makeup and a black clothing, so took over my body, I was trapped in the back of my head as she killed and destroyed all the places and people."

Steve let out a breath. "Willow, are you okay? Mentally?"

I knew he would believe me

"Yes I'm fine now, you can let me out of these handcuffs."

Steve shook his head slowly "I can let you out of those Willow, you're a danger to yourself, and those around you."

"Please, Steve, it wasn't me... okay it was me, but not me mentally."

"You sound completely crazy." Steve said

"Please. You have to believe me."

" I just can't, I'm sorry, as soon as you recover we are going to send you away."

"Away? Away where?" I asked

"I don't know, S.H.I.E.L.D has something planned for you, Fury won't release any details."

"So basically, I'm gonna... Disappear."

"Willow, it's not-"

"-don't finish that sentence! You know damn well what will happen to me! I'm gonna disappear until none of you remember me!"

"Willow, no!"

"Yes Steve, stop trying to pretend that nothing bad is going to happen to me, I'm either going to disappear or die."

Knock, knock

I looked past Steve and at the door.

"Come in." I said

The door opened and Pietro walked in, he looked like a mess, his hair was tossed in every direction, and his eyes bloodshot.

"Oh, I see you are busy right now." He said as he looked at Steve.

"Steve was just leaving."

Steve looked at me then nodded his head and left the room, closing the door behind him.

"Willow..."

"Save it Pietro. Why are you here?" I asked rudely

"I wanted to see you, I missed you."

I laughed sarcastically "I'm sure you did Pietro, I mean you left me... You ended our relationship."

"I regret what I did Willow, I would do anything to take back that day, to take back this last few weeks."

"Too bad you can't Pietro, you're stuck with the choices you made, just like how I'm stuck with the choices I've made, there is no do overs."

He rolled his eyes "I know that, Willow I love you and I realize that nothing was going on with you and Captain."

"Do you now? After I tried explaining to you? You believe me after everything that's happen? Well too bad, it's too late."

"Too late?"

"I don't forgive you Pietro."

"Willow-"

"-stop. You can't just waltz back into my life and expect everything to be alright, you hurt me Pietro, I hurt people because I couldn't control a part of myself-"

"-so you're gonna blame me, for all the people you and Alex killed?" He asked

"No, it's my fault, but I can't be with you Pietro."

"Willow-"

"-No Pietro, I just can't."

He nodded his head slowly "fine, but I'm not giving up on you Willow, I never will give up on you, I love you, and I will love you till the day I die."

He paused then took a deep breath "I'll wait for you as long as you want me to, hopefully, you'll want to be with me when the time comes, but I understand if you don't, I guess this is goodbye."

"For now." I said to him as tears filled my eyes

He used his speed so he was in front of me and wiped the tears that we're running down my cheeks.

"For now." He repeated

He pulled his hand away and in seconds he was gone.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in out and my heart stopped beating for a moment.

I no longer had Pietro in my life.

I looked around the white hospital room and frowned, I had no one.

T w o W e e k s L a t e r . . .

The door bursts open and two S.H.I.E.L.D agents walk in with Fury following in tow.

"Willow Darwin." He greeted me

"Nick fury."

The man had a simple look to him that I could quite tell was about, he had a scary look to him and well it was unreadable.

"So what's the plan? Are you guys gonna kill me? Or am I'm gonna disappear for a few years till everyone forgets about me?"

Fury walked towards me and uncuffed my wrist.

"You'll see what we have planned for you."

"Make them forget about me..." I whispered as we walked out of the hospital wing of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Is that what you really want?" He asked

"I don't want them to worry about me, I don't want Pietro to love me any more, I'm a monster that's not worth loving."

Fury didn't say anything until we reached a helicopter "as you wish Miss Darwin."

I nodded my head at him and he walked away.

The helicopter starts up and we began to fly.

"Goodbye Pietro." I whispered.
