Arrows - Kate Bishop

Avengers

When I woke up I felt wires hooked up to me tangling around my body. The energy that was built up in my body disappeared , my mind was finally clear which turned out to be all the medications and drugs I was high on. I sat up from the bed I was laying on and took a glance at the room I was in. There were glass windows on every side of the room and when I looked out of the clear glass windows, my eyes fell upon the Avengers. The people I least want to see at the moment were now standing in front of me. My reflection showed in the glass and all I could think was “What the Fuck?” I had a giant ass scar on my arm and face. I noticed Kate was walking by the room and saw me in there. Looking like a caged animal begging and pleading to be freed from confinement. I yelled with the only hope I had “KATE, HELP!” I tried getting closer to the glass but was stopped by being pulled by the wires that were attached to me.

I saw a look on her face that I had never seen before, a look that I knew meant that she was feeling sorry. Sparing me pity. “I’m sorry Katana. They said you need to be alone while the test results come back.” The feeling of being alone in a place where I was at risk of getting arresting settled into me. My senses then started to get overwhelmed, feeling as if it is growing tighter and it became hard to breathe. My oncoming panic attack took over and I was submerged into the feeling of it. Bruce let Kate in to calm me down so I wouldn’t destroy the lab with my newfound powers. Her first words to me were like waves of relief to me. I finally felt safe in her presence. 

Relationships were something I was never fond of nor was it something I wanted to seek in life. I was just focused on surviving, not having a person to make out with. My parents also didn't have the best relationship, which is part of the reason why I left. And besides, who would want to date a wanted criminal?

Kate guided me through my panic attack. I have had panic attacks before but I always tried holding them in which didn't work. My mind was calm as it could after 5 minutes. She pulled me into a long hug.. 

The Avengers then walked into the room and told the powerful and painful truth to me. Bruce Banner said “ Your powers are too strong for this world, so you’re going to need to stay with us until you get your powers in check and under control. It’s going to be a long journey so you will be here for a while.”  His words escaped his mouth as if it were a barrel of bullets , each hitting my mind and heart one at a time, in slow motion. I was beyond crushed and angry. My life had finally toned down to something normal and now it was all taken away again. Why couldn’t the universe give me a normal life? Why is the universe never kind to me, yet so generous to those who don’t deserve a penny or feeling to their name. 

The ground started to shake once again gaining my attention. With anger and frustration I said “ YOU SELFISH ASSHOLES! I NEVER WANTED ANY OF THIS, I JUST WANT TO BE NORMAL FOR ONCE. YOU ASSHOLES BETTER LET ME GO BEFORE I KILL EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. PICKING AT EACH OF YOUR LIMBS UNTIL YOU ALL ARE NOTHING BUT BONES AND PILES OF TRASH TO THROW DOWN A OLD SEWER!” Out of caution and fear in their eyes they ran out of the room leaving me with Kate in the rage filled room. The feelings of anger and sadness lingered around of the room in a constant loop. I broke down crying in Kate's sorrowful arms. I tried speaking but all that came out was tears and whimpers. Tears climbed down my face as if it was a river. Mourning in my newfound home, I fell asleep crying in Kate’s arms.
