My eyes fluttered. Memories flashed through my brain. Me running. Someone I supposed was my sister chasing me while I laughed. Where did that life go?
I didn't open my eyes. Every assassin knew that don't open your eyes unless you know where you are. I felt something metallic gripping me. That's when I opened my eyes, and I let my power flow through me. I was not going to be taken again. I knew that this can be my path to freedom. And I will take it.
"Woah Woah relax", a man's voice filled the cold, empty air. "Tony take it slow. She's only a child", someone else replied. I raised my eyebrow. Why did these people look oddly familiar? Not like I knew them but I had seen them somewhere. My hands still had my power and my eyes were still glowing.

(Arti's power except it has a hint of blue in it. Plus it's like more bright. N looks more terrifying. Its also not like Agatha's power from WandaVision)
A woman wearing all red slowly walked up. "We don't want a fight. We want to know who you are and why you are here", she tried to tell me.
I raised my hand and everyone flinched. Instead, I brought it to the cut on my cheek at the moment I made contact with it, and it healed. The man in green, black and gold slowly approached me. "You know magic? The one you are using, its aura is too much for me to handle. How can you wield it?", he questioned.
"That's my little secret.", I replied. "I'll do anything you want. But just don't hurt me."
Everyone looked heartbroken at what I said, especially the person with a metal arm. They immediately said that they won't.
"But I'm not giving information about me, not until I can trust you. The last I did it without thinking, I lost someone dear to me."
They all nodded and slowly asked me to come on their jet. I pulled my magic back and slowly stumbled towards them. Let's just say, I'm not the best with people. I learnt not to show my weakness. They can use it against me.
The man with a bow walked up to me to help me. I flinched so hard when he touched me.
"Please don't touch me. I don't mean to be rude....... but I have...."
I was hesitant to tell them. What if they used it against me? But it was the one thing I can't stand.
"I have thixophobia."
Everyone looked at me with confused expressions, except for the guy who had turned from a big green dude to a man. He had a look of realization. "You are afraid of human touch?", he asked hesitantly. I nodded in confirmation.
Wanda POV
I felt numb. This girl had been through so much. While she was talking, I went into her mind. I knew it wasn't right but like, her defences were low and since her power was a bit similar to mine but wayyyyy more powerful than mine. What I saw was horrible. No wonder she was telling us, no, begging us, not to hurt her. I wanted to murder everyone who said "Hail Hydra". She looked far younger than me, so I wanted to make sure she felt safe and welcome with us.
Nat POV
Artemis reminded me of myself when I was younger. She was vulnerable. She was just like an assassin. Everything about her was making me want to protect her. I don't know how this feeling came but I'm in mom mode.
