Warnings: verbal abuse

Zoe looked around the room that Tony said was hers to use at the compound. The room with the on-suite bathroom was larger then her whole apartment in Boston. "Tony this is just too much...I can't take this room there has to be a smaller room in the compound that I could have this is bigger then my whole apartment back in the other reality" said Zoe tensely. Tony just looked at his sister and shook his head. "Hey Sis all the rooms in the compound are the same size, Rogers who share this floor with you is just across the hall is pretty much the same all that is different is you have a balcony besides you're a Stark" said Tony matter of fact. Zoe titled her head "What does me being a Stark have to do with anything?" questioned Zoe. "Well it does have it's certain advantages" smirked Tony.

Zoe frown "Hey Tony I am not here for anything other then getting to know you again... I just want a family for once please you have to understand that" said Zoe. Tony gave a small smile and nod to Zoe. "Well that's good to hear and it didn't cross my mind besides our Dad left you enough that you will be set for life and dad took care of his only daughter" replied Tony. Zoe shook her head "I don't want it, I don't deseve it I am just Howard Stark's bastard daughter, you on the other hand are the child from his actual marriage I am just nothing but a freak" said Zoe with a lot of pain thinking of the names Nicole called her through out her childhood. "I mean look at our own Dad was going to sent me away because he was ashamed of me and wanted to keep his good name free of scandal and not letting the world know that he had a bastard child" snapped Zoe. Tony narrowed his eyes "Don't you dare call yourself that Zoe and our father loved you with everything he had, I have admit I was jealous at times how your two relationship was but you would just smile at me and all of that was gone and I couldn't help but be wrapped around your little finger like he was" said Tony. Zoe bit her lip trying not to cry "But he was sending me away to that girl's school" said Zoe turning away.

"Zoe our dad wasn't going to send you too that school he was going drop you of at one his friend's house in France for a few months to keep you safe and then divorce my mom then come and get you" said Tony. Zoe took a deep breath "Tony how do you know that? and I ruined your parents marriage how can you even be so calm about this?" cried Zoe. Tony looked at Zoe "Because Dad told me his plan and while yes I was upset at first I saw how my mom and Peggy treated you and that made me even more upset so I understood why it had to happened, then the accident happened and you disappeared my whole world was just gone" said Tony looking down not wanting to look in Zoe's eyes. Zoe got closer to Tony "I am so sorry that I caused so much trouble for our family heck that damn Peggy Carter was right I was nothing but trouble to our family in the end" said Zoe closing her eyes. Tony looked at Zoe surprised "Zoe why would you think that Peggy Carter said that?" he asked.

Zoe took a deep breathe "Well a day before I came I had what I thought was a very weird dream of me and you playing and we were a little loud and Peggy Carter came and snapped at me calling me names but you stopped her. I stuck my tough out her well it seemed like she might smack me but dad came and yelled at her to get out and she yelled that I would be nothing but trouble for this family and she left I honestly thought it was a dream" said Zoe. Tony looked at her in disbelief "Oh Zo-Zo I am so sorry you had to remember that" said Tony. "So that was more of a memory then a dream?" asked Zoe. Tony frowned "Yes, Zo-Zo that happen, Do you have anymore flashbacks?" asked Tony. Zoe smiled at the nickname "I remember you calling me Zo-Zo and I called you Bubba and Tony did we ever watch Land Before Time?" asked Zoe.

Tony laughed "Oh my gosh you loved that movie so much and would make dad and I watch all the time, you were so weird you pretended to be Littlefoot and walk around the house with dryer sheets on your head saying they were your Treestars, and that song at the end you and I would sing that together" replied Tony with tears forming in his eyes and he pulled Zoe in for a hug "Oh how I have missed you Zo-Zo" said Tony. Zoe smiled and returned the hug "I think I missed you too Tony cause I would sing that song If We Hold On Together whenever I felt lonely and would watch the movie as well" said Zoe. Tony just pulled her closer "You know that you that nothing that happened was your fault if anyone is to blame that is Peggy Carter if she just kept her mouth shut you could have been here and mom and dad wouldn't have been in that car accident" snapped Tony as he pulled away.

Zoe pulled a face "I never did like the character I mean I don't see what Cap ever saw in her and she just always rubbed me the wrong way and I never knew why I guess now I do, she is just a bitch and Cap could do so much better then her" said Zoe bitterly. Tony raised an eyebrow and smirked "Do I sense a little jealousy on your part? Does my little sister have a crush on Capicle I mean you did comment on his ass what did you call it?, oh yes America's Ass" said Tony. Zoe turned a deep red but shook her head "I have no idea what you are talking Tony" said Zoe trying to avoid his gaze. "Whatever you say Zo just know Captain America's Amazing buns is right across the hall" teased Tony.

Zoe rolled her eyes and blushed again, Tony's phone buzzed he looked at "Hey sorry I have to go to the lab will you be okay?" asked Tony. Zoe nodded and "Yes, I am and thanks for everything Tony it meant a lot that we could have this chat" said Zoe. "Of course Zo-Zo I hope we can talk more" said Tony. "I would like that very much" said Zoe. Tony gave her another quick hug and left. Zoe say on her bed thinking of all the memories that she shared with Tony and it made her smile but then a dark memory came back and that there is one memory that she wouldn't share with him at least for now.

Deep in thought she was all of sudden snapped back into reality at the knock at her door. Zoe quickly answered to see Natasha Romanoff on the other side.
