The Elemental

Heya, so I am practically brand new to this so sorry if there are mistakes or a lack of grammer (my weak point). I had this idea in my head for a while now, so I just thought, fuck it, let's do it. So here we are, anyway thanks for reading this! X

Daydreaming
Your p.o.v

"Ugh" I thought to myself. This had been the most boring day of my entire life, and I meant it. Usually someone would ask me if I wanted to get a coffee or grab lunch but today, nothing. It was a shame actually, considering that I had woke up feeling light as a feather and tackled the day with a positive demeanor, only to be hit in the face with a stack of paperwork that I was to finish before noon. Of course Fury was working me this hard, I had no reason to do this paperwork, that had nothing to do with me, but he was constantly assessing me, quite literally. He always grabbed the small black notepad out of his inside pocket as soon as he saw me and often wrote things down as we were in the middle of a conversation. I actually found this quite rude, but I never spoke my mind to him, he was the one, after all, that had given me a second chance.

"Rose!" I flinched and turned my head to the right with a bewildered look on my face. My mind must've wandered off as I was thinking about Fury because Will shortly said after reading my confused face, "I asked you a question Rose". Will was my best friend, he was also my equal and my partner. We did everything that we could together, from the minute I had arrived on the hellicarrier, he instantly warmed to me, whereas everyone else was cold and spiteful. I couldn't blame them though, they had every right to act like that toward me, but it still hurt. "ROSE! For gods sake!" I snapped out of my thoughts once again and saw Will staring at me with a frustrated look on his face. "Sorry" I mumbled, turned back to look down the empty hallway and flexing my stiff fingers which were rapped around the barrel of my M416. He replied by letting out a deep, heavy sigh. "Oh sorry, what did you want?". My thoughts caught back up to the present moment.

I turned my gaze to him and saw him staring straight ahead, he tensed and my brain went to instant panic. I quickly wrapped my index finger around the trigger of my gun and shifted my gaze back to the now, not so empty hallway. The sight half answered my question, because people (mainly agents) started bustling around, carrying stacks of paperwork and, bedsheets? That was new. I was about to ask Will what was going on until I saw what had caused the commotion. My jaw had nearly half dropped, but I faught to keep my composure. Two quinjets had just landed on the air strip and the doors had already started to open.

The avengers stepped out onto the tarmac as Fury bristly strided toward them. They then started to have a conversation, which I obviously could not hear. Fury pointed towards the general direction of the reception and Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff and Bruce Banner walked towards the reception. I watched interested as the second quinjets doors opened, taking my gaze off of the other avengers. Fury took a few more steps so that he was stood directly infront of the second quinjets now open doors. Out stepped an extremely muscled man, he was wearing armour made out of some sort of metal, vibranium maybe? He also had a red cape on, which flapped in the wind of the airstrip. He said a quick word to Fury and then used his hand to beckon someone out of the darkness of the aircraft.

A tall man with ebony hair and pale skin, strutted out and stood next to the blonde haired man. I could only make out some features of these new men because they were so far away. I knew instantly that they were not from this realm because they were taller in stature and their posture was immaculate, they also both wore bright clothes, almost looking as though they were royals. Fury had taught me next to no information of alien life species and of other realms until just over two months ago. When he adopted me, I was twelve, he had promised that on my eighteenth birthday he would teach me, personally, about the realms and all the wonders hidden inside of them. Of course he kept his promise, and although I wanted to start learning on the day of my birthday, he insisted that I enjoyed my day. It was sunny and I didn't have a stress in the world apart from the growing anxiety that it was the start of june and in just under a month I would either be dead or still stuck here on this stupid Helicarrier.

I gathered my thoughts once again, realizing the repeating pattern of diving back into my memories when bored. I turned my curious gaze back toward The Avengers who were now moving away from the poor, crowded receptionist who I saw had a furious red blush on her cheeks. I rolled my eyes at her colour, and her soft will towards any sort of man that approached her, especially when the man was Tony Stark. I had guessed that it was him that had made her blush and my bet was fulfilled as I saw the large, devilish smirk he had on his face as he turned the corner and headed into the lab, Bruce lazily trailing in behind him. Steve, Nat and Clint went into the training room and I smiled at myself as I thought of their productivity.

"Fuck sake" I muttered under my breath. I had done it again! Lost completely in my thoughts and paying no attention to my other surroundings. I yet again regained my thoughts, composed myself and cursed at myself one last time in my head. It was only after I was brought back to reality, I realized that instead of the empty space that used to be infront of the receptionists desk, the two new men and Fury stood talking to the receptionist. Her cheeks were now crimson red and her eyes were darting from the screen of her computer to the two men and occasionally to Fury who was giving her a disapproving look.

It was only then that I looked at the dark haired man again. More importantly, I looked at his hands. There wasn't anything in particular that was special about them, they were very large of course to match his body, but the thing that interested me the most, the thing that actually had me wondering more about who these new men were, was the silver bands that were around his wrists. They looked oddly familiar. Then it clicked. I looked down at my own wrists in disbelief. I saw the shining gold bands around my own wrists, the subtle icy blue wisp of energy that surrounded them. These bands stopped my powers, they protected me and others from hurting anyone, this indicated that he too, had done something terrible like I had.

Fury had taught me about the bands once, I had asked him why I must wear them. He was very gentle about his explanation which helped a lot. I was confused and scared back then. He explained that theses bands restricted powers and had different levels: Bronze, barely restricted any power but the person they were put on could not use their power at 100% and they would therefore give up after a while, Silver, restricted close to 70% of power and was used for terrible criminals who were classed as 'Insane' or 'Extremely dangerous', then there was the gold level. My level. Gold, restricted 100% of power, not one drop less. Fury never said it by I could see it in his eyes. It had pained him to put these around my weak wrists, but I had excepted them after a couple of months and constantly reminded myself that they were to save lives and to protect me from myself and death. However, I had only ever seen people on the hellicarrier with bronze bands. This mystery man intrigued me just oh so much more because of the tight silver bands on his wrists. I ached to talk to him and ask him what he had done, I had no idea why I craved this information so much, perhaps it was because I wanted to see if there was anyone else out there that had done something as monstrous as I had done?
