"Let me take the commands and get some rest. It's 7 am there! I'll give them back to you when we will have to land off" I tried to convince Melina but it was aimless. She's stubborn. It's maybe a widow's thing.
"No I will not, I'll rather arrive alive! Plus the only way I'm giving commands to a child is if I'm bleeding to death and I'm perfectly fine, see." She answered back
"But I know how to fly. Mom taught me and I know you taught her"
Melina's face dropped. Did I say something wrong? Why would she feel guilty about flying?
"Melina, is everything okay? Did I say something wrong?" I asked worried
"No, no kid, you did nothing wrong. I'm just tired why don't you take over for a few minutes"
"You're sure you're okay? Cause you said you wouldn't let a kid take your place if you're not bleeding to death. You're not dying right ?" I was extremely confused about the sudden mood switch. She didn't answer but gave me a sweet smile in answer and slumped in her chair.
I focused on the sky but still checked on her from time to time. She really seemed upset. The last thing I want is to make her feel bad.
She eventually fell asleep, she seemed more peaceful than she was before. I made sure everything was under control before turning the autopilot on. It was the moment for me to face a reality I was hiding for a while now. I have powers and what do I want to do with them? I don't know what kind of powers I have specifically but I know I can make some lights with them. I focused on my hands and tried to do something else than just sparkle. I don't know how I'm supposed to do or what I even want to do. Do I want to bring an object to me? Do I want to form some kind of energy shield? Can I create things? And if I can do even just one of those things, how am I supposed to do it? There are no tutos on how to use powers on the Internet. How do I know that? I looked for some and the only thing I found was a stupid website on how to do magic tricks with a deck of cards. How to use real magic is probably one of the only things that are not on the Internet.
After a few minutes, the light around my fingers came again, it was pretty but once again not very useful. What's the point of being a glow stick if I can't even do something useful? So far my supposedly deadly powers can only be used to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night without waking everyone up. Other than that I don't really see how it could be useful in my daily life. I want to know what I can do. I'm probably being impatient here but I rubbed shoulders with magic users before and their stories about the beginning of their powers are a little more hectic. I don't mind taking off the killing people and being dangerous part but the actual knowledge of their powers I wouldn't mind having. From what I heard magic is connected with feelings, it's very cheesy I know but apparently, it's working like that. Are my powers so tiny because I barely feel emotions ? I mean I know some but they need to be really strong for me to acknowledge them. Most of the time I'm just emotionless, like moody weather. It's not sad it's not happy it's an in-between some people will call it sad some calm and others alright. I guess I'm moody.
At this point, I felt Melina moving. I turned to see that she wasn't awake. She was still sleeping but she was sweating and almost crying. I stood up to go close to her. I gently rubbed her arm to wake her up "hey Melina it's alright it's just a bad dream". When she opened her eyes she met mine. She immediately took me in her arms. We stayed like this for a few seconds. I felt her breathing calming and her heartbeat coming back to normal.
"Is everything alright?" I asked still in her arms
"Yes everything is okay it was just a bad dream" she answered letting me go.
She wiped her tears and took back the commands as nothing happened. I didn't want to ask what was this about so I just sat back on my chair and looked at her.
"Now that we're about to land off, do a little mission review. Who are we gonna see and what do I need to know about them?" Melina asked me
"Alright, so first Clint also known as Hawkeye. One of the original six Avengers. He handles the bow like no one else. He might be the greatest archer in the world, don't tell him I said that. He's always walking fast cause he thinks he is important but he is actually pretty insecure. He never wanted to be a superhero. He is deaf so if he loses his hearing aids the guy is literally seventy. Next, according to Peter, he is with a girl. Young, dark hair, tall, also an archer. We don't know more about her, just that she already met Yelena and that Yelena decided to save her during a fight and that she's apparently named Kate Bishop. Then, Yelena, you probably know more about her than me. In the last few days, we know that she tried to kill Clint twice but never succeeded. She removed Kate from a fight without killing her so it's obviously not her mission. And that's all we have" I blow out of breath. I saw Melina smiling a little and letting out a small chuckle.
"What ?" I questioned
"Nothing you just reminded me of Yelena"
