Clint's (Hawk's) POV:

Seeing my sister cower against the wall, like a scared kitten, was an odd experience to witness. Somehow, unnerving. Never once had she ever done that, not without reason, if I recall correctly.

It had been a week since we brought my sister here, hoping that once we woke up she could tell us what had happened to her, yet the only response we could get was her activating a force field to keep us all away from her. She had to have seen something that set her on edge.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I hear Nat say, as we sit in the lounge room of AHQ, in which Nat, Charlie, and I had been staying since my sister's accident, to be close by.

I look up in time to see Nat approaching with ten-month-old son, Charlie in her arms to where I currently sat lost in thought.

"Dada…" he called, reaching towards me frantically as Nat sat down next to me.

I smiled at him, before pulling him into my arms. "Hey bud." I said, smiling as he blew raspberries onto my cheek, while slapping either side of my face, before giving me a toothless grin.

"What were you thinking so hard about?" I heard Nat ask, looking at me worriedly.

I looked down at Charlie, staring at his big cheeks as I bounced him slightly, before finally answering her. "My sister." I replied.

"What about her?" She asked, looking at me, awaiting.

"I-I cant explain it. I just—I have never seen her cower against anything. She is not fearful, she is fearless. It makes me worry that she senses something, something that we can only hardly begin to imagine." I inform.

"You're right. Marie, even when she was Bella, hardly ever showed fear, even when she truly felt it." Nat conceded, looking at Charlie who had fallen soundlessly asleep in my arms.

"I can't help it feel like she is going to leave…" I whispered, swallowing around the knot I suddenly felt in my throat form.

"Leave? Why would she leave?" Nat asked, surprised.

"Call it a feeling I have, but she's going to leave to protect us." I explained, frowning.

Marie's (Bella's) POV:

Danger! Danger! Danger!

Something seemed to be going off on my head as if I had some sort of alarm in it.

I knew one thing for sure. Danger was coming. Not only that, but we were all in a lot of danger. Not just me.

Little Charlie, Clint, Natasha, Steve, everyone! I had to get out of here, I needed to direct the danger to a different location. Somewhere, where I could direct it towards myself, without anyone else being in danger too.

I had to leave.

I needed to get out of here. For everyone's own good. I couldn't let anything happen to them, not that last people in the world that I cared about. Not them.

As I opened my eyes I realized I was once again on the gurney of the room. An IV now placed in my forearm instead of being at the end of my elbow.

I slowly reach to rip it off, only for a firm hand to stop me. "Nah-Uh-Ah."

I opened my eyes to see Steve, and Tony staring down at me, expectantly.

"Bitsy, " Tony said, raising an expectant eyebrow at me.

"Stark." I replied, monotonously, even though I felt as if my world had been turned upside down.

"Care to share with the class what that was all about?" He asked, sitting at the foot of the bed.

"It seems some of the members of the Cullen family have abandoned the coven…" I said, watching as they began to tense.

"Which. Ones?" Tony asked, stiffly.

I stared at them wearily before looking out the window, "Alice and Jasper." I whispered.

"The psychic and empath?" Tony asked, amused.

"Yes, them." I replied, pinching the bridge of my nose.

"Well, explain why this is relevant to your reaction earlier." He said

"They are not the only one who left the coven. So did— So did Emmett and Rosalie."

The only ones left Edward, Carlisle and Esme in the coven. "Edward has gone down South… To meet with the Southern coven…" I explained.

"Southern Coven, who are they?" Tony asked.

"They are the one responsible for more than half the disappearances of people during the Civil War…" I finally say.

"Meaning?"

I sighed in exasperation of having to explain.

"They are the most dangerous coven in the world aside from the Italian Coven known as the Volturi. He plans to come here to kill us all…" I finally reveal.

"Son of a bitch." Tony said, shooting out of his seat and heading out of the room.

As soon as he was gone Steve turned to me, and sat down on the same spot Tony had vacated.

"Marie, there is something else you're not telling us...what is it?" He asked.

How could he have possibly—???

"Edward is coming to kill me and you. I don't know how he found out that we are together but he did…. Not only that but it was he who has been hacking the S.H.I.E.L.D database… Steve, he fucking knows everything that's happened between us." I say.

"Everything?" He asked, surprised.

I nod my head once, and look down at the chain that hung around my neck.

The beautiful, platinum, blue, heart-shaped necklace Steve had given me a few weeks ago in celebration of how long we had been together, before this accident, and the misunderstanding happened.

"Does that mean our suspicions were correct?" He asked.

"Yes, it does." I replied.

"What will happen now?" He asked.

"Now, we have to prepare for their attack." I tell hi, bringing up my knees to my chest and wrapping my arms around them.

"Which will be?"

I sighed, closing my eyes in concentration. "A month from today." I whisper, numbly.
