Your POV

"Have you been alright? Feeling well?", Bruce says as he pierced my skin with a silver needle, extracting blood.

I lay my hand out to create small swivels of black magic, showing Bruce, his eyes on my hand.
 
"My powers are normalizing. I feel myself getting better I guess. Sooo what's this for?", I say, as I make the swivels vanish.

"Hmm interesting. Oh I'm just taking some blood samples for a few tests Tony wants to run. He wants to make some research on your powers, if that's okay with you.", Bruce turns to me.

Research on my powers? What for?

"Oh that's alright with me, I don't really care. It be interesting to study my powers further more." I pause and ponder.

"Can I ask you something?", I say when curious eyes. He nods his head in agreement.

"How did you become.. well the Hulk?"

"I got exposed to some radiation and it transformed me into a green angry ticking bomb. Although it took a while for me to take control, it has changed my life for good and well here we are now.", he said with a chuckle.

"What about you? How did you get such powerful abilities?"

Faint memories I didn't want to remember began to play out in my brain, causing me to drop my expression.

"Everything alright Heather?", Bruce layed his hand on my mine, waiting for me to answer.

I can't tell him, at least not all of it. He'd notify Tony THEN they'll definitely want me out of their lives. I can't have that happen. Fuck. What the hell do I say?

"..I wanted everything. I desired power so badly, that in the end I got what I wanted, yet now I feel cursed with what I wish for. I can't take it back now or at least not now.", I looked at him with gloomy eyes.

I didn't want him to see me like this. I know he'd get suspicious about me hiding something. I couldn't possibly show him the  atrocities I've committed or what I've done in my life back in my dimension.

I turned away and snapped out of it. Changing my face to a more serious one. I quickly stood from the seat was in and lost my balance causing me to fumble towards the floor.

"Careful!", Bruce quickly leaned in catching me on time, his green arm around me now.

"When was the last you eaten?"

Oh shit.

"Um last week?", I say knowing he's about to get mad I haven't been eating anything.

"And what was it?", he said raising an eyebrow.

"Thor's poptarts..", as soon as I said it Bruce slapped his forehead with the palm of his hand.

"C’mon Heather you need to eat!", he says aggravated. "Nutrition is essential in order for your powers to stabilize!".

I'm guessing everyone knows my name now, good.

"Alright, alright DAD I'll eat.", I giggled.

"Oh God, please don't call me that. Get out you weirdo, you're good to go." he says in a playful manner, opening his lab door for me.

"Bye-a Bruce, see ya later", I say, giving him a small hug before running off.

Thor's POV

I'm being a fool.
I need to apologize to them.
I haven't seen Loki yet, he must still be in hiding here somewhere, furious. He's not allowed yet to set foot outside of the Stark Tower, meaning he's safe from doing anything idiotic. To make things worse  I crossed the line with-
