Split

Y/N had finally began to fathom what had happened as the woman spoke to her. She had been in this base for just over two weeks. Yesterday was the day that the woman proposed that y/n make everyone forget her, alter reality as if she didn't exist. Feeling her heart break at how hopeless she felt, she simply split. Y/N had managed to transport herself to a reality in which she managed to make the avengers forget her. What she didn't know was that she had created this false reality herself. Y/N was there for what felt like months but here it was less than a day. The woman also explained that if exposed to high levels of trauma, the human psyche can sometimes branch causing dissociative identity disorder. The woman told her that y/n had displayed dissociative tendencies and that instead of having different personalities, being the keeper of the reality stone, y/n made a separate reality.

Unsettled by how calm the woman was being, y/n decided to ask some questions.

"So none of it was real?"

"None of it"

"And how did you know?"

"You're not the only one with superpowers dear"

"When you first came here, you said that they wished to weaponise me meaning—"

"Meaning I do not"

"You don't work with Hydra?"

"No"

"How did you know that I managed to warp reality whilst in the false one?"

"Because I watched you"

"Watched me?"

"You're not the only one with superpowers. I knew as soon as you created the false reality because I felt it. I was curious as to what you would have gotten up to in it, I also knew that you needed an ally, a friendly face so I chose one"

"Strange"

"Yes. I must say, I was impressed when you altered our little conversation making you out to be the victim when you were literally technically threatening reality"

"But it wasn't real so why not let me"

"It was fun toying with you"

"What do you want?"

"Your power"

"Take it. I don't want it. I can't even use it properly."

"As tempting as that sounds, I can't just take it from you"

"Why not?"

"It's not mine to take. I can however force you to use it to its full strength and then extract the energy remnants"

"So if none of it was real, that means they all still remember me" she asked timidly

"Yes, your little clique still remember you"

Feeling relief wash over her, y/n quickly thought back to Loki's killing spree. She had to get out. She couldn't allow more innocents to die. If only y/n knew how to properly control this stone she'd be able to go home. Back to him. Back to Loki.
