Chapter 13
Earth, 2014
The first thing I do when I get to the room is text Uncle Steve to tell him that I am safe. The second thing I do is text Peter to tell him that I am fine. After that, I pace in my room for quite some time having less and less control over my powers. Hours go by until the sun finally comes up and I stop throwing things around with my mind. I slowly gain back control of myself and since I'm not flickering anymore, I can finally video call Peter.
"Liv! Are you okay?" he asks immediately when answering.
"Yes, I'm hiding somewhere, waiting for Steve to come and get me. I won't be able to come to school for a while," I say, pacing around.
"That's okay, I'll cover for you. If Cap comes to get you, I don't think you should go with him, though," Peter slowly states.
"Why? He's my uncle," I reply.
"Liv, I don't know what he did, but he's now considered a fugitive. S.H.I.E.L.D. is after him. You should be careful."
"Well, if it's not him, someone else will come and get me," I answer, trying not to let the panic rush over me.
We continue talking, until I hear knocking on my door.
"Someone's at the door, I'll call you back," I say, hanging up.
I quickly make myself invisible and get into a wardrobe. I hear voices outside:
"Liv Rogers, this is S.H.I.E.L.D., please open up."
I stay as quiet as possible, trying to control my powers, as I hear them starting to knock the door down. I have to get out of here, or I will lose control again and blast civilians. Just as I'm thinking about this, I hear a buzzing sound coming from behind me. I turn around to see orange sparks form a circle. What is this? The circle opens to reveal a small Asian man:
"Liv Rogers, you're not safe here, please make yourself visible and follow me. I'm here to help, but they're not."
As he says that, the door breaks open and I hear them shooting in the room. Without thinking twice, I follow the man and go through the hole of light, and next thing I know I find myself in a sanctuary.
"Where are we?" I ask.
"New York," he replies. "I'm Master Wong, I'm a Sorcerer," he explains.
Looks like Earth isn't as primitive as I thought.
"How long have you had these powers?" he continues, as I accidentally knock down a whole shelf.
"I don't know, all I know is that it's getting worse, and I can't control them when I'm scared. I just make everything explode."
He nods:
"We're here to help you. We think we know how to help you gain control over them."
I don't know who this man is, but I hope he's right.
"But first, you should get some rest, you're safe here."
I don't know why, but I know he's telling the truth. I nod and follow him to a small room with a single bed. Shortly after, I fall asleep. I am woken up by Wong, a few hours later, who force feeds me before telling me that he is now going to help me with my powers.
"Before doing this, do you have any news about Captain America?"
"Yeah, I think you should see this," he replies, turning on a small television.
I see that Steve, Natasha and Sam are fighting a man with a metal arm, who I assume is the one who killed Fury. He's shooting everywhere, there are explosions everywhere. Civilians are running around. Soon enough, Steve, Natasha and Sam are surrounded by S.T.R.I.K.E., all of them with guns aimed directly at them. One of them has a gun directly to my uncle's head. They end up arresting all three of them. I have no one anymore, both Steve and Sam have been arrested. My heart sinks and I can feel my powers burning up in my blood. Might as well go back to Odin.
"Heimdall, open the Bifrost!" I yell.
"Don't be so dramatic," Wong replies, rolling his eyes.
As he says this, he lifts his hands to the sky, and I see what appears like a dome of crystal form around him and I.
"You're now in the Mirror Dimension," he explains, "everything you do here won't affect the real world, so you can use your powers as much as you want, you can't hurt anyone."
"I don't even know how to use them," I say.
"That's because you're scared, and you're trying to refrain from using them, instead of controlling them. You need to accept them and see how much you can do."
"I don't know how."
"Think about all the things that happened in the past few years. Your father faking his death a first time, then dying a second time. Your grandmother dying a day before your father. Your grandfather that never loved you. Your uncle who couldn't make time for you. And now, the only person you've ever felt at home with, is being held at gunpoint."
I can feel the pain build inside me as he talks, and once he's done, he exists the dimension as I hear him say:
"Let it all go, Liv. It's okay."
And I do as he says, I let it all go. I feel my powers explode as golden blasts of energy erupt from my whole body. Eventually, I start crying, and lay on the ground, still blasting golden energy all around me. That's when it hits me, it's beautiful. All that energy, and it's coming from me. Thor said my father could do the same, I wonder what color his energy blasts were. I'm sure they were green. After a few minutes, the rays of golden energy surrounding me slowly return to me, and I take it all in. I feel warmth go through my entire body as I lay there, breathing in and out. Wong comes back into the dimension with me:
"That was beautiful, Liv. How are you feeling?"
I turn my head to look at him, smiling:
"Good. Really good."
