I stayed here after we finished eating. The others went back to do whatever they did but I didn't want to. You know me. I don't want to draw to be honest, I just wanna go to the park and watch the ducks swimming in the pond. Maybe listen to some music. School starts tomorrow again. Another week where I have to feel the tingling feeling everywhere I go. School is worse than outside here. I really should explain to you how my powers work right?
Okay, today's the day. I'm gonna tell you. Ready?
I was 5. It was my birthday and mom, dad and I drove back from the zoo we visited. I was so happy, I remember that we laughed together in the car. My mom looked at me and saw me drawing in the backseat. I was pretty good for a 5 year old.
"You have the talent from your grandpa" My mother tells me with a smile
I giggled and continued drawing. My mother complained about the radio switching channels on its own, she thought I would do it but I didn't. Suddenly I stopped listening and I stared at the paper in front of me. I drew the elephant I liked so much today, but I couldn't care less in that moment, because I started to see something. I saw a truck from the other side of the road smashing into our car, sending us to the side. The car literally flew and rolled in the air. It fell on the ground and stopped upside down as it crashed against the empty steet. My parents were dead. I opened my eyes and one second later the exact thing happened.
So you see, I can see the future without having to draw it. I don't know how I ended up drawing it instead of just seeing it but I assume that the last thing my mind saw before the accident was the drawing on my lap. Maybe it's like a protective mechanism of my brain, to help me control and manage this power or something. Like it does when someone is traumatized. School is worse because you have almost every second a paper in front of you and I get the tingling feeling so often. When I'm somewhere else with this many people without a paper and pen, then it's fine because my body and I are accustomed to the fact that I only see the future or your destiny when I have a paper in front of me. So that's my story. I had a car accident with my parents, they died and that's why I'm in an orphanage because I don't have other family members.
I watch one of the 5 ducks put its head under the water, it's always so funny when they do that. New flesh starts playing. I sit on the edge of the pond and listen to it. The trees around me move due to the wind. People walk past me with children or their dogs, some alone. And every one of them has their own story, and it's always different. Now I have the need to draw. So I pull out my new notebook I bought and a pen and start drawing the duck. I wanna name it.
Ernie or Duck Norris? I'm not sure
I can't decide.. Ernie the Duck Norris. That sounds weird. Nevermind.
"Ernie the Duck Norris! Want a slice of my bread?" I ask the duck
Ernie doesn't even look at me.
"Yeah, Confit de canard is way better" I joke and smile a little
I look once more at Ernie before I start to draw him. After 5 minutes, I'm done.
"What do you think, Ernie?" I ask and look up only to see him eating bread out of another kids hand
"Traitor" I mumble and slowly pack my stuff back in my bag
It's time to go back before I'm late for dinner again.
🍪_____________________________🦆
The Avengers and Nick Fury sit in Clint's kitchen. The Avengers found out just earlier today that Clint has a wife and kids. Or as Tony would say, Agents of some kind.
"ULTRON took you folks out of play to buy himself time" Fury states as Lila Barton, the youngest gives Natasha a drawing "My contacts all say he's building something. The amount of vibranium he made off with, I don't think it's just one thing"
"What about ULTRON himself?" Steve asks, leaning against the doorframe. Behind him are the kids sent to bed.
"Oh, he's easy to track. He's everywhere" Nick answers "The guy is multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit"
"It still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans, though" Fury comments as Tony throws a dart
"Is he still going after launch codes?" Tony questions, preparing for the next throw
"Yes, he is. But he's not making any headway" Fury replies
"I cracked the Pentagon's firewall in high school on a dare" Tony admits
"Well, I contacted out friends at the Nexus about that" Fury states
"Nexus?" Steve asks
"It's the world Internet hub in Oslo. Every byte of data flows through there. Fastest access on Earth" Bruce explains
"So, what did they say?" Clind asks
"He's fixated on the missiles" Fury says as Tony pulls the darts out of the board "But the codes are constantly being changed
"By whom?" Tony questions as Clint throws a dart himself, flying past Tony and hitting the bullseye. Tony looks at Barton and he just shrugs with a smirk. He never misses.
"Parties unknown" Fury affirms
"Do we have an ally?" Natasha asks
"ULTRON's got an enemy. That's not the name thing. Still, I'd pay folding money to know who it is" Fury explains
"I might need to visit Oslo" Tony sighs "Find our unknown"
"Well, this is good times, boss. But I was kinda hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that" Natasha admits
"I do. I have you. Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere. Ears, everywhere else. You kids had all the tech you could dream up. Here we all are, back on earth, with nothing but our wit and our will to save the world" Nick explains "ULTRON says the Avengers are the only thing between him and his mission. And whether or not he admits it, his mission is global destruction. All this, laid in a grave. So stand. Outwit the platinum bastard"
"Steve doesn't like that kind of talk" Natasha jokes
"You know what, Romanoff" Steve growls and Natasha smirks
"So, what does he want?" Fury asks
"To become better. Better than us. He keeps building bodies" Steve announces
"Person bodies. The human form is inefficient. Biologically speaking, we're outmoded. But he keeps coming back to it" Tony explains
"When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed" Natasha states
"They don't need to be protected" Bruce says, looking at the drawing from Lila. A Butterfly "They need to evolve. ULTRON's going to evolve" Bruce realizes
"How?" asks Fury
"Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?" Bruce questions
