You begin to feel warmth. Each sense burns as it is returned to your system. First is your sense of touch. You can feel the warmth through your veins. You can feel your blood begin to move through your body. You feel your neurons firing. You try to move but you are still frozen slightly. The next to return is your smell. You smell medical supplies, like in a hospital. You can smell what you believed is a freezer-burned type of smell. Your next sense to return is taste. You taste something metallic but cannot pinpoint what it is. You begin to hear faintly. Voices, men, maybe a woman. You can hear beeping and a dripping noise. You open your eyes. At first, everything is black. Shadows begin to appear. Suddenly everything comes back full force. You jolt into a sitting position.
"Woah!" You hear someone yell.
"Okay, kid take an easy."
You look around and see an IV in your arm. You rip it out and stand up.
"Tony she is freaking out!" A voice behind you says. "I can see that Bruce just gives her a minute. Hey kid," he says to you. "You're okay, you are safe now, you need to calm down. My name is.."
Before he can finish you grab the IV pole. You begin swinging, taking out a computer.
"Tony we need to get her under control!" A woman yells.
Tony yells back,
"What do you want me to do? She's been frozen and has no idea where she is! Bucky wait don't!"
You hear footsteps behind you, you feel a cold hand on one shoulder and warmth on another. You can feel the rage creep through your veins. You flip around only to see a familiar face. You can't piece it together and kick him through the glass wall. He falls back and crashes onto the floor. Bucky and you begin to fight. You kicking him down the stairs. He fights back. You flip him over your shoulder and put your foot over his neck. The others have followed you two. 
"Stop!" Tony yells.
Bucky choking through his words as you apply more pressure,
"Tony it's okay. Claire! Claire, it's me. You have to remember! It's Bucky!"
As he is about to pass out memories flood your head. You stumble back and catch yourself on the stairs. Bucky stands and walks toward you,
"Claire, do you remember who I am?" he asked.
You are shaking but nod your head. Bucky comes closer and places a hand on your shoulder. You look up at him. Seeing him sends a feeling of relief through your body. You pull him in for a hug. "Bucky, where am I?" You whisper.
Bucky pulls away,
"You are at the Avengers headquarters. This is Tony Stark, aka Iron man. He is the brains behind this whole operation." He gestures to Tony who is standing at the top of the stairs,
"I guess we got off on the wrong foot. Sorry about that," He says to you, stepping down to you to shake your hand.
You scan the room and see the damage you have caused.
"I am the one that should be sorry, " you say to him shaking his hand.
He steps away,
"It's been worse," he says looking in Bruce's direction.
Natasha and Bruce step up to you and introduce themselves. You look around to see the high-tech room you are in. You notice the technology and how different the building looks. Tears flood your eyes, you look at Bucky.
"Bucky, what year is it?" you ask, your voice cracking.
Bucky looks down. He then looks at the others in the room and then looks at you,
"Claire, you have been through so much. What I am about to tell you may come as a shock to you." He says softly.
Before he can continue others follow the broken glass to where you are.
"What the hell happened!? Tell me Loki didn't get out?" Thor asked, concerned.
"No, no he is where he needs to be," Natasha replies. Thor then looks at you,
"Who is this?" he asks, points his hammer toward you.
"Easy there god of thunder," says Bucky; "This is Claire and old friend."
Just then Steve walks down the stairs. He notices you and walks right up to you, "I know you from somewhere." he says to you.
"You must be mistaken," you say "I'm nobody."
He smiles. "Well, nobody, it's nice to meet you. I'm Steve."
You look up at him and admire the muscles in his arms, you notice the blue in his eyes. You can see him studying your face. He turns away and walks to everyone else. Everyone begins to chatter. You look at Bucky, but his attention is on the group.
"Excuse me! What year is it!?" yo u yell more angrily than you attended. Everyone stops, they all look at you with concern. Bucky turns you toward him. "Claire," he says "you have been frozen for a while now," he pauses. "it is now the beginning of 2018."
You feel the color drain from your face. The room begins to spin. You try to catch your balance but you slip and land on the floor. Bucky tries to catch you but fails. He reaches out to you but you yell,
"Don't touch me!"
"Claire I know it's a shock, believe me, but you need to calm down," Bucky says in a worried tone.
The rest look on, not to startle you but are there if they need to intervene.
"How have I been gone for 70 years!?" You say with tears streaming down your face, your eyes glancing to everyone looking at you, staring at Bucky's last.
"I missed 70 years of my life!? HOW?" you yell.
Before Bucky can say a word he begins to back away and stands up with worry on his face. The others take a defensive stance. You can feel every vein in your body burning. A sharp pain shoots through your head. You scream in agony.
"Bucky, what the hell is happening!?" Tony yells.
"I don't know!" He yells back.
"They tested her a lot, I've never seen her do this."

Your eyes are now glowing red. You stand up and hold your hand out. The fire appears in your palm, you begin to levitate.
Natasha yells "Take cover!" You throw fire at them, but miss.
"Friday! Activate fire emergency protocol!" Tony yells.
The sprinklers turn on. You feel the water crash into you. The fire diminishes and you crash to your knees weak.
Steve catches your head. Before you completely pass out you hear Bruce,
"We should put her in the cell until I run some test to see what we are dealing with."
Your eyes close.

Memories begin to flood your head. They are racing faster than you can keep up. Some don't even seem to be memories but visions. You see hands, with blood covering them. You can feel pain. You scream. You startle yourself to wake.
"You'll get used to those." A man says.
You don't react and sit there trying to comprehend everything that just happened, breathing heavily. "Looks like Stark thought I was getting lonely. Pity, I would rather be alone." The man says.
You look up and see a man sitting on the floor in the cell next to you reading a book.
"Where am I?" you ask.
"Oh, the happiest place on earth," he says sarcastically. When he sees that you are not amused by his joke,
"You're in a cell, they put the misfits down here. Out of sight out of mind," he said in a snarking tone.
You look around.
"And they think I am a misfit?" you ask.
"Oh, love," he replied not looking up from his book, "you tried to burn the building down on your first day. I would say that's pretty mischievous," he grins. "And who are you exactly?" you ask while you turn your body to him.
He looks up from his book and smiles,
"Darling, if you don't know who I am you must be living under a rock."
"No" you hesitate, "just been sleeping for a long time," you replied.
He sees the pain on your face.
"I am Loki, God of Mischief." He grins at you "and you must be?" he asked.
"I am Claire, Claire Porter, I am nobody," you say as you look away.
Loki doesn't reply but can see the pain that crosses over your face. Your eyes fill with tears. You lay back down on the bed and curl into a ball. You feel nothing but agony and a dark cloud seems to cover you. After a few minutes of silent weeping, you drift off to sleep.
