An Epilogue To George Orwell's Boyfriend

“He had it coming, he had it coming. He only had himself to blame,” Lily yelled at the top of her lungs as she laid her hand aimlessly on the caged bear.

“If you don't shut up, I'm going to-”

“To what?” Lily cut off, “Kill me? Beat me? Sing along? Go ahead.” She shrugged, “If you'd have been there if you'd have seen it. I bet you, you would have done the same!”

The guard groans in annoyance. Lily smiled as she began humming. The girl had a plan, and right now; it was working. She walked up to the guard.

“You know, when people are being locked up they get at least one phone call,” Lily said with fake disappointment, “You guys are doing your job wrong.” The guard's grind their teeth; but says nothing.

Lily continues, “You know what it's

like, don't you John. Not having someone you love to know the truth.” She sighs, “It's tough, no one deserves this.” She pauses before smiling widely, “How's your wife by the way?” She asked innocently.

“Oh, you little-”

“What is going on in here,” Sybll asked as she walked into the room. John and the other guard stand up straight and get back into their positions. Lily just smiles at her kidnapper.

Sybll doesn't look at Lily. Instead, she looked to John, “John go upstairs and take orders.” She whispered to him.

This caught Lily's attention, and as John and Sybll walked away. Lily followed the footsteps. She made her way to the corner of the room where a pipe was. Lily places her ear on the pipe and smirks at what she hears.

“Welcome to John's Hoagies.”

“And bingo was his name-o,” Lily muttered to herself.

Tony throws a book at the wall, making everyone in the room jump, “This is crazy.” He yelled.

“Stop yelling!” Bucky yelled back; He pauses in realization, “Wait, I just yelled.” He giggled.

Steve chuckles at his friend, “You need to stop eating candy so late.”

Bucky throws down a piece of paper and points at Steve with his metal finger, “You need to mind your god damn business, Steven. You little shit.” He slurred.

“I found something,” Bruce said; breaking up any arguments that would acquire. He puts what he found on a big screen.

Sybll Vanover

36-year-old Scientist in Russia. Worked in a large company before it burned down my her own experiment. Sybll has never been seen again.

“So what? She is crazy Scientist?” Wanda asked out loud, her accent showing through.

Jamie nods as he played with the sleeves of his Dolan Twin sweatshirt, “The real question is, Does she have Lily?”

Steve, who wasn't as against finding Lily as he was before; Stood up from his seat, “There is only one way to find out.”

“Where can I find the Infinity Stones?”

The shocks have been going on for hours and Lily still hasn't said anything besides her sarcastic remarks; yet even she had a breaking point.

“Fine,” Sybll said as she stood up and grabbed a needle, “There are other ways.”

Lily tries to pull away for the crazy woman, but she could only go so farm she screams in pain before falling limp on the floor.

When Lily opens her eyes she wasn't inside the cell that had held her for two weeks. She was in a home. The place smelled like firewood and the home itself was nice and clean.

When Lily walks curiously around she noticed the pictures lined up on the walls. One was with her and Tony; the two were at the beach. The other was Emily and Tony, they were holding hands as they held out a sign that read ‘It's a girl’ in big pink letters.

This was Lily's home.

Footsteps from down the hall broke Lily out of her state. Emily and Tony walked over hand in hand.

“There you are,” Emily said with a smile as she brought her into a hug.

Lily breaths in her mothers comforting sent and begin to let out a few tears. She didn't realize how much her mother begin gone affected her.

“What's wrong Tiger Lily?” Emily asked as she pulled away.

Lily shakes her head and looks at Tony, He seemed like the man that she had known before. He wore jeans and an AC/DC shirt. His hair was messy and he wore a big smile that reached his cheeks.

“Dad.” She said, more to herself than anything.

“Yes?”

Just his voice alone made Lily want to burst into tears of happiness. Sadly, Lily knew the truth.

Her smile morphed into a frown, “Your not my dad.” She turns to Emily, “And your not my mom.” Lily begins to back away.

Emily and Tony standby each other; wearing identical frowns, “What do you mean, Kiddo? We love you.” Tony said, causing Emily to nod in agreement. Lily wouldn't lie; She almost fell for it.

Tony takes out a present from behind his back; acting like his frown wasn't there a moment ago, “Happy Birthday.”

“It's not my birthday,” Lily muttered, taking the gift.

Emily elbows him with a chuckle, “Stop confusing the girl, hon. We wanted to get you something for completing your photography class.”

Lily opens the present and smiles softly as she lifted up the object, “A new camera?”

“The old one was getting kinda rusted,” Tony explained as he walked up to her; placing a hand on her shoulder, “I'm so proud of you.”

“You are?” Lily asked in disbelief.

“I've always been.”

Lily looks at her parents with a smile; flashing her camera around, making her parents laugh. Then a knock on the door broke her out of her state once more.

“I'll get it.” Emily smiled. Only a moment later did she let out a scream.

Lily jumps up and makes it to the front door; dropping her camera. “Mom!” She yelled as her mother turned around.

Emily's hair was dirty and a windshield wiper was impaled into her stomach, “Why didn't you save me, Lily?” Emily asked in

tears.

“I' m so sorry.

I'm so sorry, Mamma.” She cried, “Dad! Dad help.”

Tony walks I'm with a big smile, “What's wrong Lils?”

Lily looks to her father in fright, “What's wrong? What's wrong is that mom-” She turns back to her mother to find her gone, “Isn't here.”

“Lily.” Came the soft voice of Tony. Lily turns around and lets out a horrible scream, Tony falls to the floor with a gunshot to the head. Lily runs up to him and cradles his limp body.

“No, no, no, no. Please don't be dead. You're all I have left, I can't lose you too. Please wake up-”

“Wake up, dad. Please, I can't lose you too.” Lily muttered in her sleep.

Sybll looks down at her and smiles. John walks up to her with an uneasy feeling, “You said you wouldn't use it.” John said.

Sybll looked back at him with a sneer, “So what? We need answers and this is how we will get them.”

“But-”

“Are you questioning your leader?” Sybll asked harshly. John shook his head, “Good.”

Yet as Sybll walked away John looked down at the child's scared state. Lily was right in his mind; he wouldn't want anyone to bare something like this.

The doorbell rings causing Tony to stand up from the couch and make his way to the

door.

“Who the hell are you?”

And there stood John with a sad smile, “I know where Lily is.”
