Chapter Seven: Triggered

The Avengers alarm blared throughout the tower. Sadly, I was in the shower, in the middle of shampooing my hair. Well this is just great. I quickly rinsed out what was left and bended the water; another secret I had yet to tell everyone, from my body and hair. I changed as quickly as I could and made it to the briefing room just as J.A.R.V.I.S was going to talk.

I received a small glare from Steve behind his Captain America mask and a sympathetic smile from Tony. "So, what's going down?"

"Loki. He's decided to attack the heart of the city. More aliens are with him along with an unknown assailant." We all nodded and looked at Steve, who had a hint of a smile on his face, "Avengers Assemble."

>>>\<<<

I flew with Tony again, the rush of the air around my face exciting both me and Chaos. She was smiling within my mind and enjoying the feeling as well.

My feet touched the ground and my grip on Tony's hand loosened, allowing me to fall into a slight crouch. People were running and screaming from a few blocks up the street.

I guided them into basements of buildings and subway stations. I went to help a struggling Tony when someone stepped out in front of me, his face hidden by a white and gold mask.

"Who are you?" Water started snaking up my arm, forming a whip in my hands.

"Anglos." His voice was muffled by the plastic of his mask, but I heard him.

I flicked my wrist out, whipping the man with water. His masked face turned back to me and shot fire back at me.

My eyes widened as I watched in fear as the roaring fire serpent came towards me. "Move idiot! Move!" I ignored Chaos and only came back when Steve knocked my sideways, shielding both of us with his shield.

Screams rang in my ear. I could feel the fear and pain of the people screaming. My hands flew to my ears to block out the noises but to no avail. Even Chaos was freaking out, pulling at her hair and frowning.

"Isis!" I could feel myself being shaken, "Isis come back to me! Wherever you are isn't real!"

My eyes flicked up to Steve's face, fear written all over it. His mask lay a few feet away, disregarded and forgotten. "S-Steve?"

"Yes that's it Isis. Come on, fight it. Whatever's happening, you have to fight it. Come back to me."

My body felt like it was on fire. A pained scream ripped through my closed mouth, causing tears to flow down my dirtied cheeks.

Everything around me came to a stand still. All eyes were on me. Steve moved my face back towards his. "Isis come on."

"Try calling her-"

The rest muffled by another pained scream coming from my mouth. Even Chaos was screaming within my head.

"Rory!"

My eyes shot open and I sucked in a huge breath of air. Steve's face filled with relief and he pulled me towards him, "Thank god." His face was buried in my hair.

"What happened?" I looked up at everyone. "The last thing I remember was facing a man in a mask."

"Anglos had fire powers and he used them against you. You froze up and then you started covering your ears. You let out this pained scream. I tried getting you to come back, but I couldn't snap you out of it until I yelled Rory."

I sat up and lent against Steve, "I don't know what happened. The fire triggered something. I could hear screams and my body felt like it was on fire."

The Avengers looked at each other and then to me, Tony speaking up, "I think it's time we figured out your past."

I would've had this done sooner, but I had a major test yesterday and then a formal party to go to. So sorry.

Above is a picture of Anglos' mask. Creepy isn't it?
