It was storming and you could hardly see past the rain. Annie was running through a forest as she was chasing a shadow in the distance, her heart beating faster than her footsteps. She then stopped and formed a spell just as something dark came out of a portal above her. Annie then shot the spell above her and the dark thing fell to the ground and was limp. Annie then formed a very dark spell and pushed it at the dark thing and it killed him on impact. Just then Annie started to feel dizzy and she fell to the ground.

"This isn't right." Annie sighed and then she felt something grab her by the neck and start to drag her. She was helpless in that moment as she struggled. Her shoes slipped off her feet from the fact that her feet were already soaked, from the shoe, to the sock, to her skin. There wasn't much holding the shoes onto her feet to begin with. After what seemed like forever she was dragged through a portal and Annie saw the portal close behind her as she stared at the dead body in the distance, and felt exhausted. She felt herself get thrown on the bed and soon she saw Quentin's face above hers and he got in her face and grabbed her chin as Annie felt an intense amount of a pain fill her chest. But she couldn't scream. She just shook her head as tears fell down her face.

"Stop fighting me." Quentin said and Annie nodded. "I don't wanna have to punish you. But since you left evidence last time we did this, I now have to go with you and make sure you don't make stupid mistakes. Now I find that you're starting to fight me this time. And so you have to pay for it so that it doesn't happen again." Quentin said and Annie felt an unbearable pain fill her body as she laid there unable to do anything but stay there...

Tony was sitting in Avengers Headquarters as he watched TV. Steve came in and sat down by him as he was covered in ash.

"I rescued some people from a burning building in Queens." Steve said and then he looked to Tony who just nodded. "How are you?" Steve sighed.

"Im alright." Tony replied.

"Annie way you could turn the channel to something more decent?" Steve requested and Tony snapped his head to him.

"What about Annie?" Tony asked and Steve looked very confused.

"I asked if there was any way you could turn the channel." Steve replied.

"Oh...yeah." Tony replied and he threw the remote to Steve and got up and started to walk away.

"What's been going on with you lately?" Steve asked. "I mean, we all miss Annie, Peter, and MJ, but you seem to be specifically fixed on Annie recently." Tony looked to Steve in slight worry.

"I had a dream about Annie and I'm worried that somethings wrong." Tony replied and Steve looked slightly interested.

"I mean, Peter made sure that nobody knew she was there. So what are you so worried about?" Steve asked and Tony shook his head.

"The dream wasn't about someone from here targeting her. This person has pink hair and he was dragging Annie through a forest. I called Peter afterwards and he told me that Annie broke up with Billy to protect him apparently and she's not really talking to anybody right now. He's already concerned about her and I didn't want to worry him more." Tony said this and Steve even looked concerned. "Then Peter said that a pink haired kid had a crush on Annie and tried to use his mind control powers to hurt Annie but she stopped him before he could." Tony explained and Steve looked shocked.

"You really think that's a coincidence?" Steve asked and Tony shook his head.

"I think a couple of us should go for a visit just to make sure everything is alright." Tony suggested and Steve nodded.

"Agreed." Steve replied......

It was 4 am and Annie went through a portal and she turned around as the portal closed and she formed a spell and sent it at her sleeping roommate.
