The wind brushed against my skinny jeans, the sky was a perfect blue, to make anyone smile. Not today. Not for me. In a few hours I'll be freezing my butt off in Anchorage, Alaska, thousands and thousands miles away from Jax, and Levi. I stare at the gray asphalt ground of the S.H.I.E.L.D base. No matter what I say, I'm still going to Alaska. Of course, New York is freezing in the winter, so I hope it's like that.....come on Kerry, you know it all ends here. Everything you tried to hide, everyone you tried to save, all ends. No more being alone, you'll basically have S.H.I.E.L.D crawling over your back. No more important work, Dad will probably go insane now.
I'm sitting on some wooden boxes, all alone, when a figure sits across from me on a box. I look to her, she's about my age, dark hair, maybe blue or....green eyes. She wore a puffy coat, and some kind of pants that hugged her body tight like....spandex? I looked at her. "Hi." she said. I waited a minute to reply. "Hi." I looked away, but she kept talking.
"So....Kerry....right?" She asked. I looked back once more and nodded. "Riley," she said with her hand out, I shook it and as we did, I looked down to the ground. Her hand dropped from mine.
"Relocation stinks, huh?" Riley asked. I nodded. "Well, hey, you get to meet polar bears!" She said. I looked at her, maybe a bit too rude. "Uh...I am not good at this, aren't I?" Riley said. I looked at her.
"I don't want to give you my full opinion." I say. Riley chuckled quietly to herself and looked down. I looked away, but then she said,
"Are there friends you're going to miss?" I bit my lip from bursting. I looked at her. "Yes."
"Anyone else?" She asked, probably waiting to get details. Well my boyfriend, Jax, who's also my one and only best friend (besides Levi) who totally understood me. Riley must've knew it was someone close. "Boy...friend?" She hesitated. I nodded. She leaned down to look at my eyes. "It's okay, I had someone like that." She said. My eyes traveled to her, she had a very gloomy expression. "What happened to him?" I asked. She shrugged. "It...didn't work out." There was a silence, until I finally spoke. "I'm sorry." I said. Riley gave me a weak smile.
"It's okay." She said. Then, a faint voice called out for her. "I've got to go but, hang in there Kerry." Riley said, her hand on my shoulder. I faked my smile and she got up and walked away. My eyes traveled back to the ground, I played with the string of my jacket, rolling the aglet between my thumb and forefinger.
I then felt a hand on my left shoulder. I jumped a bit, and saw Dad. Dad gave me a smile. I smiled at first, but it turned to a frown. Dad sat next to me, with his arm around me. "Its okay," He said, "Its okay." I sniffed and leaned into him. "I don't want to go." I whined. Dad kissed my forehead. "I know, I know. But we're okay Babe, don't worry everything will be alright." Dad soothed. I sighed as I saw a few agents getting a quinjet ready for us. I nestled into Dad as he held my hand. "Come on, we gotta go." Dad whispered quietly. He helped me up, and we began to walk over, the propellers twirled the wind making my hair fly a bit. I was looking at the ground the whole time, mostly because there were a ton of S.H.I.E.L.D agents surrounding us. Well, not a ton, but a good handful. We were still making our way to the quinjet, Dad had a soft but still firm grip on my right arm, (probably because of the agents) and I heard car noises sounding towards us. Half of me was scared I was about to get ran over, so I looked up. I saw other jets and cars, and I looked back to see a military jeep.
The bodies of agents were in my way, but I could make out half of one person. His features were all too familiar to me. That light brown hair, brown eyes, and voice,
"Kerry!"
Jax.
I turned to Dad. "Dad! Dad! There's Jax! Jax is here!" Dad looked back, but we all had to keep moving. "Dad I-I've gotta talk to him!" I cried.
"I'm sorry you can't."
"But Dad-!"
"Natasha," Dad said. Natasha, that red head assassin came to my side, taking my arm just like Dad, so both adults had strong grips on my arms. I looked back to expected to see Jax, except I saw the mass bodies of the agents. "Jax!" I cried, "JAX!"
"KERRY!" I could hear him over the propellers. I can only think to thrash my body, and that's what I do. Dad stops as he tries to pull me forward. "Kerry!" He cries. Both adults are tugging on the jacket, which gives me an idea. I bring my arms in front of me and turn as I pull my hands away. No guards expected me to run so none caught me in time. I maneuvered my way around two guards, they were big, and it was an awkward squeeze through them, but they didn't stop me.
"Jax!" I cried. I could see him perfectly now, he was running towards me. I kept my eyes locked on him, running, feeling my heart increase, my heart rate monitor beeped rapidly, but I didn't care, all I know is that I have to make it to Jax.
It all just seems to fit into place.
I jump into Jax's arms, as he hugs me and lifts me up, twirling just a bit. He hugs me tight as I do the same; after a minute of holding me, he sets me on my feet gently. I look up at Jax, as he looks at me, mouth open as he's about to speak.
"I...I made, I made it." he said. After her did. I pulled on the collar of his shirt, and brought his soft lips to mine. Everything just seemed to fade out, like, it was only Jax and I just fading into the romantic atmosphere.
Maybe I could stay, would this change that?
I pull away from Jax slowly. My hands running down his arms, and finding his hands. I squeeze them as our fingers lace together. We just stare at each other for a little bit, looking into each other's eyes.
"I don't care how young we are, but I love you." I say. Jax smiles at me. "I love you too, Kerry Lynn Banner." I smile at him. His thumbs run over the backs of my hands. Then, I hugged him. He returned the hug, is head on top of mine as my head lay on his chest. "Please, don't leave." Jax said, as he pulled away a bit. I looked into those gentle brown eyes of his, as my eyes started to tear up. "I can't do anything about it, I'm sorry." I say, "I've disappointed everybody I love," there was a pause. "Im so, sorry Jax." His hands still hold mine as he looks down. There's a silence.
"Maybe we can try something." We both turn to see Phil, Fury, and Dad. "Would S.H.I.E.L.D phones keep this lovely couple in contact?" Phil smiled.
"It won't be recorded to the government," Fury said. I sighed. "But, I don't want to call him, I want to be with him." I say. Fury kept an expressionless face towards me. "Maybe we could relocate you-"
"Already doing that genius." I snap. Dad gives me one of his glares.
"I was trying to say, maybe we can relocate you closer to New York, I mean, if we still had all eyes on you." Fury explained. Closer to New York? That's probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard, I still won't be with Jax and Levi, and Dad and I won't live normal like before.
"So, what's happening?" I hear. I look to my right and see Levi.
"I couldn't help but overhear this conversation." another new voice comes in. To the far left of Jax, is General. We look at each other a bit, until Fury clears his throat.
"If, you and Dr. Banner have cleared up some differences, we could put you in Arlington, Virginia, army base." Fury says. My head turns to Dad, as do Jax and Levi.
I mean, it's not, New York, but, Virginia is close....right? I mean, it'll have way better connection than Alaska, and, I'll be at an army base! General could protect me from any other government like a hawk. And, I'll be with Dad, and he'll be with me, and I could watch over him, just to make sure no experiments or anything will happen. Maybe it is okay to be in Virginia, but, I'm still ticked off about the whole relocation and New York thing. I knew we should've gone to Africa to be with Jennifer. Then there's school....but who really cares now?
"Could....we drive to Virginia?" Levi asked.
"Not such a good idea, we need to keep the Banners safe from everyone." Fury says.
Greeeeaaaaat.
"And by the looks of it, we have to take them. Now." Fury says.
"Hang on." I say. General walks forwards a bit, and it's just me, and my two best friends. Jax is about to speak, but I pull him and Levi into a great big hug. "I'm not going to say goodbye, because I know I'll see you guys again." I say. I feel arms go around me. "When will you be back?" Levi asks. I sniff and feel the tears. "I don't know." I say.
"Please, just, promise you will come back." Jax said. I squeeze the boys tight. "I promise."
There was a silence for a few seconds, then I looked at both the boys. "I loathe you." I joke. Jax and Levi chuckle softly, and both say it back. I hug them one more time, as I hear Phil say it's time to leave. I don't want to let go, but I do. We three don't say anything, as I turn around and begin to walk.
"Wait," Levi says. I turn back around. "This isn't a goodbye, but see you later alligator." I smile at him.
"In a while crocodile." I say back. I look to Jax, and he smiles, and mouths, 'Love you'. I smile once more, and say quietly, "I love you too." Jax smiles.
One of my top things I'm going to miss about him. His smile.
How am I going to remember that.
Dad, General, Phil, and Fury lead Dad and I to the quinjet. The coordinates have been set now to Arlington, Virginia, where I'm now going to be staying with Dad, at my....grandfather's (I'm still not use to that) army base. As Dad, General and I enter, I look back out at Jax and Levi, seeing agents start up the military jeep, telling them to get in. Jax looks right at me, but then he gets covered by the closing platform. Goodbye Jax Porter.
"Ready for takeoff," An agent says, flipping some switches. Dad whispers to me that he's going to sit down. I stand and hang onto the top sides of the quinjet. General stands next to me.
It's getting pretty awkward.
"Why are you helping us?" I ask. General looks at me. "Because, I already put my daughter in danger once, so I'm not going to do that to hers." he said. I look into General's old ice blue eyes. "Thank you." I say. He gives a small smile, then he faces forwards, and I can hear him quietly say,
"Just like her mother."
I turn to Dad, who looks lonely, so I move my way around and sit next to him. We both look at each other and smile.
"Hey," I say. "You, me, forever dude." Dad smiles.
"You, me, forever babe."
