"What kind of shit is this?" You sit back on the couch with the other Avengers, raising your eyebrows in question of the show they decided to watch.

"Hey, if you want to sit out here, you can't complain about what we're watching," Clint said.

"Clint chose?" You asked knowingly and everyone nodded, just as confused as I was about the TV show.

Tony, Steve, Nat, Wanda and Bucky had all decided to come down for pizza and TV. Unfortunately, it was Clint's turn to choose tonight and you were all being forced to watch some weird show about dancing and aliens.

Pretty soon, you became captivated by the storyline.

"The blue one's going to betray everyone else!" Steve exclaims, and the you all were getting just as into it.

Clint sighs, bringing his hands behind his head smugly. "And you said I had bad taste in TV."

Eventually, the thrilling plot of the show came to an end and you sighed as you picked up your empty pizza box. You were exhausted and needed to recharge both your energy and your powers.

"Goodnight guys." They all chorused their goodnight's back as you threw the box in the bin and made your way to your room.

Changing into your pajamas, you couldn't help but clench your fists again, the mild aching in the bones of your fingers a constant reminder of your abilities... and the accident.

Pulling the duvet up to your chin you chew on the inside of your cheek nervously, trying to think about anything besides your powers. Eventually you fall into a restless sleep.

"Mom... Dad...," you sob as you dig through the pile of rubble that was once your house. Suddenly, there was a flash of light and a man in a red robot-like suit came down to face you. He held his hand out in front of him, as if ready to shoot you, before he noticed the tears streaming down your face.

"Hey kid... are you okay? Did you do this?" 

He questioned you as you nodded, kneeling in what was left of your home. "My parents..."

Though you couldn't see his face, his head movements let you know he understood and he turned to the pile of rubble and starting digging through it.

You turned as you felt a hand on your shoulder. A pretty red-haired woman smiled at you, crouching down. "Hey. It's okay. What's your name?"

Her voice calmed you as you tried to steady your breathing. "Y/N."

"I'm Nat. How old are you?"

"S-Sixteen," you stuttered, clenching your fists tightly. You had developed the habit as a kid and tended to do it whenever you were scared or stressed.

"Good. So you're old enough to realise that none of this is your fault. You lost control, you used powers for the first time," her voice continued to calm you, even if you didn't believe what she was saying.

The man in the red suit flew down in front of you. "Hey Nat, take her back to the tower. I'll stay here and look for her parents."

The red-haired lady nodded as she helped to stand on your feet. You couldn't stop your hands from trembling as you looked back at your house.

You sat up, shaking. You almost always got nightmares whenever you had to use your powers for a mission. The accident was almost five years ago, but your abilities were a constant reminder of what you had done. After that night, Tony wasn't even able to find their bodies. All because you got mad and lost control.

Looking towards the window, you found yourself relieved at the fact it was morning. You definitely wouldn't have gotten back to sleep if it was still nighttime. 

Convincing yourself to just forget, you make your way to the kitchen, eager for breakfast before an intense training session with Nat. You loved those training sessions though. Nat never held back, and you loved when you were faced with a good challenge.

"Morning, Y/N," Steve and Bucky enter the kitchen, dressed in running gear.

"Morning. Going for a run?" 

"Technically. But I'm going to beat this asshole today," Bucky says, pointing to Steve.

"Wanna come watch me beat him instead?" Steve asks.

You shake your head with a grin. "Thank you, but I'm training with Nat this morning, and I can't run to save my life so you'd be miles ahead of me."

Steve laughs as he grabs an apple and tosses one to Bucky. "Well, have fun getting your ass beaten by Nat," he says and you laugh as he leaves.

You finish your bowl of cereal before making your way down to the gym. Nat was already there, practicing a few of her punches.

"Y/N! Fashionably late as always," she says and you roll your eyes.

"The problem is, you're always early."

She laughs. "Sure, sure. So, I was thinking, why not use your powers to conjure a weapon or something? It may help you win for once."

You sigh. "I don't know Nat, they still haven't fully recharged from yesterday and I don't want to accidentally hurt you."

"Okay, fine, we'll do hand-to-hand combat today. But I am making it my life's goal to help you get over your irrational fear of yourself. If I had that kind of power, I wouldn't stop using it."

You sit down, rubbing your eyes. "I know, I know. But it's been five years and I still get the nightmares. I just hate the constant reminder that I can kill the people I love without thinking twice."

Nat frowns as she walks over to you. "Come on, stand up and let's fight. Take your mind off of it."

You nod in agreement as you take you position and start to spar.

You yawn, sitting on the couch with your cold leftover pizza. Tony and Bruce were in the lab, as per usual, Nat had gone somewhere with Wanda, and Steve and Bucky were sent on a mission. Which meant you had most of the tower to yourself, considering you never went in the lab anyways.

You were just about to put on the weird alien show from before when you notice a flash of color from outside. All of a sudden, Thor appeared before rushing into the tower.

"Lady Y/N! I need your help!" He sounded worried as he rushed out of the elevator.

"Thor? What is it?"

"There's a battle on Asgard, and I don't think we can win it without your powers!"

You stare at him, confused. "What about the others?"

"There's no time to get them, we must travel by Bifrost immediately!"

Still very shocked and confused you nodded without thinking, letting him drag you out of the tower after you left a note of your whereabouts on the fridge door.

Mjolnir flew into his hand as he wrapped an arm around your shoulders, before the rainbow light shot down from the above you.
