i woke up in a hospital. uncle nick was sitting in the corner, his eyes were red from crying. i had never seen uncle nick cry, so something really bad must've happened. and then it hit me, i was the bad thing that happened. the memories of the last time i was awake came flooding back to me. my parents were dead, and i was the reason. my eyes began to water, but i pushed back my tears, mom always told me to be strong, and that to always show people that i was stronger.
"uncle", i said and he immediately looked up. "you okay kid?", he asked me as he walked closer to where i was laying. "no, it was my fault wasn't it? mom and dad? that's the reason theyre gone, and I'm here?", i asked. "it wasn't your fault-" "lies", i cut him off. "i wish i wasn't born with this curse", i said and looked at my hands. "its not a curse, its a gift, I'm sure your mom and dad made that very clear", he said. "if its a gift, then why arent they here?", i asked and clenched my fists. "kid, this wasn't your fault, its just that some bad people dont like that you are special. youre special, just like your parents", uncle nick said.
"ok", was all i said. i kept quiet for the remainder of the day. some doctors came in to check on me. i answered their stupid questions, but what shocked me was when they called me brave for surviving the fire. i looked at uncle nick, and he gave me an expression that was just like they don't know. i hope he was talking about the stupid powers instead of something else, like uh i dunno, the fact that i killed people?
but i shoved that thought away. just think positive is what dad would've said, if he was here of course. i felt worse when i thought of that.
later agent maria hill came in. i call her miss maria, and I've known her for a few years. one time uncle took me around s.h.i.e.l.d and showed me around when i was younger. maria was nice to me, but she told me that this wasn't a safe place for kids like me. at that time i didn't realise it, but she was right. everywhere i looked there were weapons, it was like they were preparing for a war, when obviously there would never be one. it felt kind of pointless to have so many weapons, very scary too. many people there looked like they had been through a lot. the way they handled the weapons was like it was their regular routine. and they looked even scarier because many of them had many scars on their faces and arms, but most of them looked scary, but really weren't. the really scary people would smile at me and greet me with a handshake, which kind of scared me as a kid. but they truly were nice people, its just that their job was scary.
anyways, when maria walked in, she smiled at me. "are you okay?", she asked me. though i wasn't, i just nodded. then she took a seat on the side of the hospital bed i was laying down, and she looked at her hand. she had a small bracelet on it, and it had small silver charms of circles, like shields, and also tiny eagles. she took the bracelet off and gave it to me, i hesitated at first, but then took it into my hands. "that bracelet was a gift given to me a long time ago, it represents protection and strength, so i hope it can be a reminder to you to always be strong", she said and smiled softly. "thank you", i managed to say. i clipped the bracelet onto my wrist and asked her, "does it rust? it looks brand new?" "no, it doesn't rust, but it looks brand new because i take care of it, and I'm hoping that you will look after it from now on", she said. "i will", i answered.
then uncle nick came back with some snacks in his hands. he had left a while ago because i said i was hungry. sir, "i asked the doctors about her health and they said she was fine. all reports came back as normal, so i got a copper ready to take her home, the only place is where, will it be the extra room in your house sir?", maria asked uncle. "yes, would you take her there? there are some things i need to take care of at her parents home", uncle said.
a little later, maria found some of my clothes from home so i changed and met her on the roof. i was happy she brought my sneakers instead of those weird but pretty sandals mom would make me wear. my heart ached when i thought of my mom. but i pushed the thought away, better not to think about it.
i had to squint my eyes because of all the weather, it was very windy. i saw maria and ran to her. she was standing next to the chopper and motioned for me to get in, so i did. soon we left the helipad and it was so cool. i looked out the window and pressed my cheek against the window to see better. i could feel maria smiling at me, i didn't mind, she had like an older sister presence around me. i smiled when we flew over a big stadium that still had people playing on the field.
we flew around for a little while until i noticed that we passed the building where uncle nick lives. "wait, we just passed uncles house", i told maria. "i know, your uncle told us to fly around for a little while, to cheer you up. we also need to find a place to land", she said and i laughed at how she completely deflated at her last statement.
we flew around for a little while and i realised that there were storms forming ahead. i reached out my hand and touched the glass, and at that moment thunder flashed across the sky, but there was no rain. i quickly jumped and turned around to see if maria saw that, but she was looking down and reading a file. i relaxed, it better if she doesn't know.
can i control the weather like mom? i reached my hand out again and thought about rain. at first i wanted to pee, but then it began to rain. my eyes widened, did i really do that? i twisted my wrist and the rain suddenly stopped, but when i twisted it again, it started raining again. then maria looked up. "did it rain, and then stop?", she had a confused look on her face. "no its been raining non-stop this entire time", i answered but giggled to myself.
but then i remembered the stupid powers, and i remembered what happened the last time i used them, and i sunk into my seat. i didn't want to use this curse of mine anymore, i just wanted to be normal, so maybe i can at least try to act like it.
