THE LAST AVENGER

"The Beginning

-Are you sure about this? -

-Olivia relax, it's just a jump- I smiled

-The jump is fine but not from your roof, something is going to happen to you- she said as we climbed the stairs to the top floor

-Hey calm down- I stopped turning to see why she was coming behind me -Everything will be fine- I smiled

-Agree-

When I got to the top I went up to the roof and I could see so many people that there was hardly room to cross from one side to the other, the music was so loud that I could hardly think, the adrenaline was rushing through my body that I felt like I was going to explode .

"VERY GOOD!" I yelled making everyone look up at me. "ARE YOU HAVING FUN!?" I heard how everyone yelled in approval. "THEN LET THE PARTY CONTINUE!" I took a big breath of air. And I ran until I jumped right into the pool from the third floor.

When I felt the cold water hit my body, all the adrenaline shot up, it was a pure emotion discharge, which I enjoyed until the last drop but just at that moment under the water, all the music stopped, everything was so quiet that I swore to myself I had been deaf from the blow, when I finally stuck my head to find out what was happening I saw each person at the party looking in one direction, I followed everyone's gaze in detail until I connected with the center of attention at that moment and all the happiness and excitement turned into fear.

-MORGAN H. STARK- were the darkest words I heard -GET OUT OF THERE RIGHT NOW- her anger was evident so without protesting I got out of the pool and went after her -WHAT IS EVERYONE WATCHING? - she yelled -EVERYONE DIRECT TO THEIR HOUSES! - and without protesting, they all ran as if the place were on fire.

-Before you say something, let me explain ...- I tried to defend myself first but it was too late

-I leave the city for 3 days and you have a party? IT WAS 3 DAYS- he yelled

-Mom if it makes you feel better I would have done it if you left for just one day- I tried to make her smile, it always worked but it seems that today it only made it worse

-NO- she yelled -It's enough miss, you're punished- she said

-Punished? - A laugh escaped me -I'm not 15 years old mom- I crossed my arms

-Really? because your behavior tells me that if you have them-

-Okay- I settled down -Tell me what you want me to do? - I raised my voice -Wait sitting here thinking about when you are going to come? - I continued shouting

-Morgan- she was also starting to get angry

-Do you want me to stay in this jail? IT WAS JUST A PARTY MOM, I DIDN'T GET DRUG, I DIDN'T ESCAPE, I JUST HAD A PARTY- I screamed, my head got hot and it was too late -You should be grateful, half of my friends until this day believed that you were just as dead as Dad- but just when I realized what I had said a silence flooded the entire room

She didn't say anything, she just turned and went upstairs leaving me there with all the hatred she had released while I sat in the living room reasoning everything I had said to her, she was angry but I shouldn't have spoken to her like that, I shouldn't have yelled at her, much less tell him about dad. In a way it had hurt me too.

I hadn't talked about him for years and mentioning him in that discussion in one way or another opened the wound again.

-God, what happened here? - They said behind me

-I suppose you also want an explanation- I said covering my face with my hands

-I wish- I wasn't looking at him but I knew he was staring at me with those eyes that he was doing trying to look annoyed but only causing me to laugh

-I spoiled it all, Happy- I said, leaning my head back

-Yes ... I suppose you would say that- he said, handing me a bag -You fought with your mother, right? - He said sitting next to me

"I yelled at him ... I'm sure he hates me," I confessed while taking a bite of the cheeseburger. "Any advice?" i looked at it

-I would tell you to buy him something depending on how strong the discussion was- he said taking a sip of his soda

-I told him that my friends thought I was dead just like Dad- I said looking straight ahead while Happy was choking on what he had said

-Morgan- said barely

-I know ... I blew it, I'm a fool- I buried myself in the couch cushions taking several bites of my hamburger

-You know ...- he said looking at me trying to smile -When I met your father, he had a strange habit of always eating when he felt stressed or upset, rather he ate all the time, it was strange since he did not get fat- he began to laugh and I curiously began to do the same -You always remind me of him-

-Thanks Happy ...- I hugged him -I will try to think about how to fix the problem, thanks for listening to me-

-You know I always will ... and Morgan- I looked at him -You should call Peter, he also feels lonely sometimes-

-Of course ...- I said going up to my room

While I was changing my bathing suit I turned on the television, just to have noise since in this house what was most noticeable was the silence and everything was fine until I heard something that left me still

"This morning another group of terrorists was arrested thanks to James Rogers better known as the son of Steve Rogers or as we all know them ... Captain America ... this city could not be more grateful for his services, we went to the place of the facts where Nicole is interviewing him. "

"Thank you Laura ... James how are you feeling? Asked the reporter looking at him. -Fantastic, you are the ones who motivate me to be better every day, I do it for you and for my father, I know he is proud of me and of course I do too "he said giving the camera a smile and winking.

-This has to be a joke- I said turning off the TV to finally fall asleep

-You managed to give the best party of the year Morgan, no one has stopped talking about it ... Morgan? MORGAN? - I heard Olivia talking to me while she put the books in my locker

 -Sorry, what were you saying? - I tried to sound normal 

 -What happen? You've been like this all day- 

 -I'm sorry is that ... something happened with my mom- I said looking down 

 -With your mom? What happened?- 

 -Well is that ...- the sound of my phone managed to save me so giving thanks I took it 

 -Who is it? - 

 -It's ... an unknown number- I said still looking at it 

 -You are not going to answer? she asked 

 -No- I put it away again -I have to go- I said without letting her say goodbye to me Walking back to my house I could only think of what I would say to my mother to fix things, we hardly ever fought, but it was because we hardly ever saw each other and that did not affect me, at least until today ... 

Happy was the one who always took care of me but sometimes he took care, because well ... I was not the only daughter that my father left when he left. Peter was friendly, he also took care of me a lot but with all this bank robbers and vandals, let's say he manages to keep busy. 

My phone rang again causing me to look down to see who it was, it was an unknown number, was it the same? I don't know but I wasn't going to answer, my thoughts were interrupted by a kind of fight. 

 -Why don't you watch where you're walking, you i***t? - Said a tall and strong boy 

-Please Oliver not today ...- a thin boy kindly asked him to stop 

-What will you do? Will you talk to your friend Tony Stark? - He thought for a moment -I forgot ... he's dead- something inside me short-circuited and my anger grew -Please stop- he begged 

 -You asked for it- he smiled

-Hey- I raised my voice enough so that he could hear me -He said to leave him alone- 

 -Who are you? - He said approaching me 

 -The person who will teach you a lesson if you don't go and leave everyone alone, no one wants to have problems- the difference in height was exaggerated but still I stood firm 

 -I'm not afraid to hit a girl- he spat annoyed 

 -It's good that you say it- I smiled -Because I have no problem with hitting idiots like you- his smile disappeared and with his big hands he pushed me, causing me to fall to the ground.

People began to approach forming a circle around us 

-Get up- The anger was growing more and more within me. I got up but just when I turned around he pushed me again, this time with my face against the ground -Didn't you hear?- He yelled as everyone watched the scene. -I said you'll get up!- My anger exploded -TAKE ...- I put my leg between his and with all the strength and adrenaline I managed to throw him, I climbed on top of him and I punched him right in the face leaving him stunned. 

 I got up and everything was silent but then people began to applaud me. I didn't know how to feel, I was shaking from everything that just happened and my eye was starting to hurt from the blow he had given me. 

When my legs finally reacted I ran to my safe place. 

-Morgan? Is that you?- I heard my mom say when I finally got home 

-Yes ... it's me- I put the keys on the table and when I heard him approaching I steeled myself -Mom I'm very sorry for what ...-

-For God's sake Morgan!- She screamed in terror when she saw me -What happened to you!- 

-What are you talking about?- 

-Your eye- she whispered, taking me to a mirror to see myself and indeed a mixture of yellow, purple and a little green began to form on the right cheekbone. A huge bruise. 

-Mom ...- was the only thing I could say when he had already interrupted me 

-Who did this to you Morgan? - Asked annoyed 

-No one- I kept quiet for a moment 

-Morgan-

-I just ... I just fell-

-Did you fall? - His tone was confused

-Yes, in fact yes- I tried to convince myself -I was walking on my way home when I got distracted on the street and I just fell ... it was very embarrassing, everyone was looking at me and ...- my phone rang and I took it , again that unknown number

-Are you going to answer? - said my mom

-No ...- she looked at me doubtfully -It's Olivia ... she wants me to give her a task but I'll do it later-

-Okay- he turned

-Mom- I said before she disappeared -About the other night ... I just wanted to tell you that ...-

-Leave it Morgan, nothing happened- he tried to smile -Tomorrow I will leave the city but I will be back in two days- and without further ado he disappeared

I stood still and took a moment, I had so many doubts in my head.

I didn't know what was wrong with my mom, I didn't know who the unknown number was and my face hurt.

I went to my room but just when I was going to enter I heard something fall right down the hall, I turned slowly and went straight there, it was dark even though it was daytime and just when I finally arrived and lit up I was paralyzed.

-Dad- I could only whisper

I picked up the key that had fallen out of the lock and just for a second I would have liked to open it but no, I shouldn't and less so after what I had told Mom.

I turned around and just then my cell phone rang making me jump right there.

-I swear that if it's that damn unknown number again I'm going to crash the cell phone on the ground- I said as I took it out and to my surprise it was Olivia

-Hi, sorry for leaving quickly and not telling you anything is that ...-

-Turn on the TV-

-Olivia? -

-Turn on the TV!-

- "It seems that El Capitan America did it again, this time he stopped a fight a few blocks from Midtown High School" - my mouth fell open and he spoke

- "What can I tell you Katy, if a situation gets out of control, I can't ignore it ..." -

-Don't you dare say it- I whispered

- "But sometimes I would like" - I conclude with a wink.

-He said it- I said with the phone in my ear and the control in hand

-What are you going to do?-

"Nothing, what am I supposed to say?" I stopped in the middle of the hall. "Did Captain America steal the fight I stopped?"

-Yes, something like that- said obvious

-Olivia ...-

-You're Morgan Stark-

-Y? The fact that he bears the last name Stark does not mean that he is a friend of Captain America ... besides as far as I know -I said opening the door of the living room -Captain America and my dad weren't even friends-

-Yes but ...-

-Olivia- I sighed -Why don't you tell me where we're going to sit this time-

The classes were normal, of course Olivia did not despise any moment to ask me about Captain America as if we were best friends and sat down to have tea.

My head was busy with other things, I wanted to talk to my mom, Happy kept insisting that I please talk to Peter, I kept getting calls from the unknown number, without a doubt it was starting to bother me and my eye was starting to hurt more and more.

We were in a class to go out. Biology.

-Do you think the avengers are coming back? - Olivia asked as the teacher talked about the effects of climate change

-I don't know Olivia, let me hear the subject- I said almost grinding my teeth, I was already very tired

-Of course- he walked away for a moment and I gave thanks for that although I knew it would not last and it did.

-But do you think that if they got together again they would call you to be part of the team? -

-No- I said quickly putting the pencil between my teeth, I pressed it so hard that I thought it would break

-Okay ... but it's just that if they- and that's when I exploded

-Olivia That's enough! - I began to raise my voice without realizing it -I'm not a stupid avenger, nor will I be an avenger, Okay? That's my father's thing, not mine, so please do me a big favor and shut your mouth NOW! - I said knocking on the desk where my things were

-Miss Stark- they said from the blackboard -Is there something you want to share with the class? - Everyone was looking at me and Olivia was just holding back the urge to cry -Miss Stark? - the teacher repeated

-I ...- my cell phone rang, I took it out in the middle of all the commotion and my anger grew even more -IT'S EVERYTHING! - I got up, took my things and left there with my head about to explode

I walked quickly towards my house, I did not want to talk to anyone, I did not want them to even look at me why I was sure I would hit him, my head was boiling inside, my hands were sweating and my feet were cramping.

When I got to my house, Happy was there and when he saw me he got scared

-Morgan What do you ...-

-I don't want to talk- I didn't even look at him

I walked to my room with my heart racing at a thousand an hour, I don't know what was happening to me, I was becoming ... I didn't even know it, when I finally arrived I slammed the door and stood in front of the window touching my head , closing my eyes tightly and breathing as deeply as I could but then, that damn sound made my eyes pop open.

-Listen to me, you i***t- I said spitting each word with too much anger -If you call this number again, I will track you down and I myself will go kick your ass and I will not stop until you are on the pi ...-

-Do you know how tired it is- I turned suddenly before that voice behind my door that I had vaguely heard before -Being listening to the waiting bell of a phone? - He began to approach me to which I backed away -It is very tired. Besides, nobody sends me to the mailbox- he crossed his arms

-Who ...- was the only thing I could say

"Who am I?" He almost came out with a sarcastic tone

-I know who you are- I said walking forward showing bravery -It's Nick Fury, you created the avengers-

-Morgan ... your father- I cut him off right away

-I meant who let him in here, the house is supposed to be far from everyone ...-

-It's a house in a forest- he said looking at me obviously -It's literally the only house that ...-

-Because you better not tell me what it came to ... my mother is not here, Happy is in the kitchen and my father well ... I think he already knows that story better than anyone-

-I know Morgan but I did not come to that ... I need your help-

"My help?" I laughed trying to make the sarcasm notice. "Do you want me to pull a cat down from a tree?" I don't know if you already realized it but we live in a world where there is Spider man and Captain America- I crossed my arms

-Morgan listen ...- he tried to speak

-No- I blurted out -You listen to me ... I understand that you and my father were friends but I did not, if he wanted to fight and do this is his problem, he took a risk and lost ...- a tear fell from my eye - I will not do the same-

-But...-

-Whatever you need to tell Peter or James- I turned my back to him -I'm not interested in that ...- I looked over my shoulder -My father's legacy died with him-

I could only hear a door slam, 10 minutes later I left my room and walked to the hallway playing with a small ball to release all the anger I had

-Morgan? -

-Please Happy ... just go- my head hurt even more than an hour ago

-Your father ...- that detonated me

-HAPPY IS ENOUGH! - I got up suddenly -MY FATHER IS NOT! HE DIED AND FOR THEM! DO YOU UNDERSTAND IT? - He just nodded and left

-stupid, stupid, stupid- I repeated over and over again, I saw the ball for a moment and I threw it away with all the anger I had until I only heard something crashed on the floor, the only thing I was missing ... I got closer to better see the door that was noticeable in the distance, I thought it would be closed but when I opened it my heart accelerated and my body paralyzed

-This ... is this real? - was the only thing I could articulate
