The Forgotten Goddess

It's Not Just A Story

Possible TW: slight torture at the end 

"Well, I guess there's something I need to tell you both." She started nervously. "255 years ago, on a planet far from here, a baby was born..."

As Alexandrya told Steve and Bucky the story of Alexandrya Miadottir, their eyes grew wider and wider. They thought she was telling them a story, one she had made up, they didn't realize it was her life. After all, the idea of beings from other planets was completely foreign to them. 

"And finally seeing his opportunity to be rid of her, Odin charged her with the murder of her father and banished her to a planet called Midgard, or as you call it...Earth." She finished looking at the two boys nervously. They looked at her with wide-open eyes and big grins. 

"That was an amazing story, Hannah!" Steve complimented. Immediately her smile fell, they only thought it was a story.

"What's the matter doll?" Bucky asked, noticing her smile drop. She looked at the two boys and smiled sadly,

"It's not just a story, it's my story. There's one more truth I have to tell you. My real name isn't Hannah Lewis, it's Alexandrya Miadottir. That story was my life." She explained, "I would prefer it if you would still call me Hannah though, I'm trying to stay off of Odin's radar. I don't know what would happen if he found me." With that, she looked around, and once making sure they were alone, she dropped her illusions. Dirty-blonde hair returning to its original purple-black hue, round ears becoming pointed, chocolate brown eyes becoming lavender again, and finally, her beautiful pale-blue wings were visible once more. Steve and Bucky couldn't believe what they were seeing. They stared at her in awe until her voice broke them out of their trance.

"You can't tell anyone about this though, I don't want a lot of people to know. I'd rather stay hidden." Both boys agreed and promised not to tell anyone. They stayed there, talking and laughing, for a while until they heard footsteps approaching the alley. Panicked, Alexandrya quickly threw on her illusions, looking human again. A group of kids walked past talking excitedly. The trio couldn't hear a lot but they could make out two words "Stark Expo." Bucky looked at his watch and gasped,

"Steve, we've got to head to the expo. We're gonna be late." Steve looked at Lex and frowned,

"But Buck, we can't leave Hannah alone." 

"Well, she can come if she wants." Bucky smiled at the girl. "Wanna join us doll?" She thought for a moment and then shook her head.

"No thanks, I don't want to be around a bunch of people yet. I'm still unused to being around humans. I shall wait here and see you when I next see you." She smiled at them. Both boys looked conflicted, but her encouraging looks had them running off to the expo. Little did the trio know, they weren't the only ones in that alleyway.

As Alexandrya watched the boys run off, she smiled. She didn't hear the shot or see the dart until it was too late. She felt a prick and then nothing.

As he was headed home from the expo, Steve remembered that Hannah didn't have a place to spend the night. He decided to offer her a room in his house, he knew his mom would understand. But when he got to the alley, she was nowhere to be found. All that was there was a tranquilizer dart, but Steve didn't notice that. He assumed she went to find someplace warmer to spend the night. He decided to check back in the morning before he left, but she wasn't there. He didn't think twice about it though.

3rd Person POV (with Alexandrya)

Alexandrya awoke in a dimly lit, cold cell. The first thing she noticed was pressure around her neck and dull aching pain in the back of her neck. She reached up and felt a collar clasped there. As she felt around, she realized that the collar was forcing something in her neck where the pain was. Then she noticed that her illusions weren't up and her wings were out. She hastily tried to throw on her illusions, but it wouldn't work.

"Ahhhhh you're awake. Oh don't try to use your magic, it won't work. Don't think of trying to escape, you belong to us now." A voice called out to her. A man stepped out into her view. He was taller than average and he carried himself in such a way that she could tell he wasn't afraid to hurt or kill people if he wanted to. 

"Who-who are you? Where am I? What's going on?" She was terrified. She didn't know what was going on. The questions kept spilling from her mouth.

"My dear, calm down. My name is unimportant, you shall refer to me as Doctor. We are currently in Russia at my secret base. As for your final question, *chuckles* well that's for me to know and you to find out. Just remember, you belong to us and more importantly, me." He said with a smirk. She paled and tried to think of a way to escape. Suddenly shocks ran up and down her spine, emanating from the collar around her neck. She screamed as they ran through her body. After what seemed like hours, she collapsed on the floor exhausted, tears streaming down her face.

"My dear that was only the beginning. You will soon find that it is best to obey, lest you want to face worse consequences." Doctor said holding up a remote. He laughed dryly. 

"You will be provided two meals a day if you behave. You will obey every order given to you or you will experience worse pain than the collar. Know that that collar can only be unlocked by myself. Remember, you belong to us. You belong to me. Get some rest darling, you'll need it. Training starts tomorrow." He turned to leave. As he was walking out, he looked over his shoulder and smiled,

"Welcome to HYDRA, my dear." And with that, he left, leaving Alexandrya in complete darkness. 

As she lay there, a peculiar feeling fell over her brain. Sometimes it hurt, sometimes it just tickled, but it was there. Alexandrya didn't realize what it was doing, she just tried to ignore it. After a while, she fell into a restless sleep.

A/N: That's Chapter 3! Hope you liked it! I'm thinking of having the POV stay with just Alexandrya, but let me know if you want to hear from the boys as well.

Also, in case you didn't notice, I decided to have Alexandrya located in a HYDRA base in Russia instead of the one they take Bucky and the 107th to originally.
