Power Thief

A/N - The picture attached is Dani's new identity as Jessica Green.

Dani's POV
So you're probably thinking, wait shouldn't Dani be dead? Well yes I did die and no I am not a ghost. After falling to my death I realized there was another way to end my suffering.
To start a new life.

I learned that anyone can make you smile, many people can make you cry but it takes someone really special to make smile with tears in your eyes and so far I haven't found that person. I love all my friends, my parents and Tony but I've always felt left out from the day I met them.

I'm different to them and not in a good way. I was not destined to be a hero like one of them or even join S.H.I.E.L.D, however it was my destiny to fall off that cliff.

Because I noticed I shouldn't care about what others think of me. I wasn't put on this Earth to entertain other people. I wasn't put on this earth to impress Peter.

*Flashback* (The cliff scene)
I knew none of them could save me, even the ones that could fly would be pushed by the wind at the bottom of the cliff.

I put my hands down and everyone ran forward to the cliff edge. I started to fall, the wind flying through my hair. I saw Max screaming which made me smile sadly. My head started to bang in between large boulders. I felt like I was being kicked around like a football, except my body was being torn apart.

I looked up and realized the sky had turned midnight blue and the stars were glistening gold but, then I looked down and suddenly splashed into the water. I tried to swim but, the water was too deep. I stopped trying and let myself sink.

I held my breath and closed my eyes. My hands began to shake which made me realize I had the power of the water. I let go of my mouth and started to raise my arms. I parted the water into two before beginning to breath again.

Keeping my hands raised I walked to what seemed like a cave. I dropped on the rock, hard ground and the water splashed back to the ground in the river.

A group of tourists saw me and ran over to me. They kindly to me to a hospital but the news I got from the doctors wasn't so nice.

*End Of Flashback*

I hardly had a face after that incident so I had to have plastic surgery. Now I look like a whole new person. I decided it was time for a change furthermore, I dyed my hair a red ombré and started wearing green contacts. I even changed my name to Jessica Green.

After changing everything, I returned back to the penthouse Nick had rented when we were all staying there.

Considering the owner was a friend of Nick's I tried my best not to give myself away. He said he didn't recognize me so, I had to tell him that I came with the others last time they came. He let me stay for longer once I had told him that.

Since Nick had already payed the extra week the owner said I could stay till then. I returned to the Hospital to sort some paperwork out about my surgery and accidentally bumped into a Doctor.

All of a sudden I knew everything that she did. How to treat different people, what medicines to prescribe and even how to perform several types of surgery.

During that time I got a job as a surgeon, as I did have all the knowledge now. They accepted me straight away as they needed more people working in the Hospital.

I managed to make a lot of money and  brought the whole building I was staying in. I had started a new life, a life where I knew I didn't live to impress.

I had heard about my 'so called death' on the TV. I felt terrible for pretending I was dead but I don't think I was ever meant to be friends with such amazing people. Amazing heroes who save people's lives everyday.

Now I had a life people would dream for. Having a high-class job, being wealthy and living in a skyscraper entirely for themselves. But the one thing no-one would've liked was the loneliness.

Max's POV
Not a day goes by when I didn't think about her. Danielle Stark. It was love at first sight which turned me to the person I was now. Without her, I would've still been at the VRA causing trouble and continuing to be a bad guy. 

I missed her so much it was unbelievable. It had been over four years and tomorrow would make it an official 5 years. Everyone had to continue with their lives but everyone still missed her terribly.

Every time I got happy I thought where's Danielle? I want to share this moment with her, then thought of her being dead hit me and it hurt every time.

Helping her kill one of the most wanted villains in all time or as I called him my 'father', I got a high role into the agency. At the moment I was sitting at the front of meeting room 1. After everyone had entered and taken their seats I began to speak.

"As you all know Danielle Starks remembrance day is happening in three days in Hawaii. In appreciation of the last time we were with her, we shall be staying in the same penthouse as we did last time. As well as that we will shall hold a service in memory of her." Nobody moved. It was such a sensitive topic, no-one had spoken about it in the last two years.

The ceremony had been postponed for a year because of how busy the agency was. We were finding villains from the base scattered all around the world causing trouble and mischief, yet half of them were still missing.

"Meeting dismissed." I was the first to exit the room. Not everyone was going to come to Hawaii with us. They were coming but only at the ceremony. It was only going to be Tony, Natasha, Susan and I.

We were selected by Nick as we were quite close to her. Returning to my office, I drank a sip of my warm coffee when Nick entered and took a seat in front of me.

"Max we need to talk. Peter Parker was supposed to rejoin S.H.I.E.L.D two months ago, but when he came back you almost killed him." He showed no expression on his face whatsoever.

"So badly he had to remain in Hospital for an extra two months." I smiled bitterly at the memory of kicking him to the ground.

"We all know what he did was disgusting however, we need as many agents as we can get to catch all these villains on the loose.  He's returning to the agency after the ceremony."

"He is the reason she died." I screamed. If he came back he'd probably cause more trouble, I shook my head at the thought of it.

"Max it has been nearly five years with him having to deal with all the guilt and blame. Just calm down, nobody said you had to like him." Anger burned through me as if my insides had caught on fire.

I couldn't bare the thought of seeing that disgusting rat again. Fire began to shoot out of my hands as I screamed furiously, Nick ducked as it burned through the door.

"I'm sorry Max." Nick stood up once I had calmed down by the slightest and walked out. Suddenly the door opened and he popped his head through the side of the door.

"By the way he's coming to Hawaii with you." He quickly pushed the door shut and I carried on burning the door until, the whole thing fell off the hinges.
