Unlikely Match

Chapter 1: Special Guest

Today was supposed to be no different than any other day; you would get up, do your morning stretches and meditation, then breakfast and daily work out, some free time until lunch and after that studying your 'Magic Tomes' until dinner and then a bit more free time before your nighttime meditation, medication and finally back in bed to go to sleep. Everything seemed normal except for some reason everyone was running around like they were chickens with their heads cut off as you headed to get today's lunch. It was almost amusing to see everyone all flustered and panicky for once, well at least this time whatever was making them panic wasn't your fault. After a while, however, it was starting to get on your nerves; you were just trying to enjoy your lunch but all the loud noise and collective negative emotional energy everyone was giving off was starting to get to you. Of course, you knew that none of the agents would tell you a thing, well not none of the agents.

You headed straight for the Bridge to talk to your favourite I.T. nerd; Mr. Connor Riley. He wasn't your friend or anything, but he was so scared of you that he would pretty much do whatever you asked or answer any question you posed. As usual Mr.Riley was parked at some random agent's desk fixing whatever needed fixing. He was supposed to be on the other side of the Helicarrier where his desk and sector was, but for some reason, he was hardly ever there. You wasted no time with the usual pleasantries besides the standard greeting and then asked what was going on. He could recognize you just from your voice, he hit his head in surprise and most likely in fear as you spoke. He made his way slowly out from under the desk as he rubbed the spot where he hit his head. Mr.Riley suddenly remembered what was happening and quickly straightened up, looking at you a little bug-eyed as he could see you looked a little more pissed off than usual. You asked him again what was going on and before he could tell you, the answer came strolling in.

You turn to see the famous Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America, followed shortly by the timid but equally famous or more so infamous Dr. Bruce Banner a.k.a. the Hulk. "Interesting" you quietly say raising an eyebrow as you studied them for a moment before turning back to Connor. You thank him for his time and as you were about to say goodbye you noticed he was bleeding from his head. Without thinking, asking or even alerting him to his injury you place your pointer finger to his forehead using a bit of your magic to heal him. It takes less than 2 seconds to heal his injury but instead of thanking you or even a simple smile to acknowledge you, he loss consciousness. He hit the ground with a large thud, grabbing the attention of all the surrounding agents, as well as Director Fury, Dr.Banner and Steve Rogers.

You stared down in disbelief for a moment as you felt a bunch of things and thoughts all at once; why would he react this way? You were just trying to be nice, it's not like you were expecting a thank you from him but he passed out. The guy literally lost consciousness from you touching him. Were you really that scary? Was the act of having you touch him was so truly unpleasant and terrifying that he fainted? Were you really nothing but a monster to everyone around you?

"Clean up on aisle 4" you laugh, wrapping your arms around your torso, pretending it was the funniest thing that happened all day. "No, but really somebody's going to have to deal with the nerd, he's out cold," you say changing your expression and tone of voice from all laughs to stoic and serious. You turn around to see Fury glaring at you, as he sternly reminds you that you aren't allowed to use your powers outside the training room. He also says you're going to be late for your afternoon studies as the Captain and the Doctor just stared at you, more than a bit confused. You walk over in their direction, seeing as the way off the bridge was past them, but you paused for a moment to get a better look. "A Captain and a Doctor. If only I were a Priest... then we could walk into a bar" you remarked giving them a cocky grin. "Yeah, yeah I know, keep your eyepatch on, I'm leaving" you hiss, feeling the disappointed and frustrated look Fury was giving you from behind. You blow a kiss at the Captain and Dr.Banner before giving them a flirtatious wave and wink before walking away and flipping your hair. "You're looking extra lovely today Agent Romanoff," you say to the deadly red-haired beauty, making kissy lips and sounds at her while she just rolled her eyes at you like usual, she knew you didn't mean anything by it and would sometimes even playfully flirt back. But not today apparently, you found that you were a bit disappointed actually, as you walked by, out and off the bridge.
