About You

You

"You," he whispered.

I furrowed my brows and looked around at the blue galaxy that danced around my floating body, "where am I."

"You are at the beginning of time," he replied.

I looked around and down at my hands, purple whisps firing out of them, quicker and stronger than ever before. The man stood in front of me, glowing blue with orange whisps leaving his fingers.

"And who are you?" I asked.

"I think you know who I am," he said.

I furrowed my brows and felt my body jolt back to reality.

I took a deep breath and sat up quickly with Wanda in bed next to me. I rubbed my eyes a looked around my bedroom in the tower. Taking a few deep breaths, I grabbed my hoodie and kissed my girlfriend's head. She groaned and opened her eyes slightly.

"I'm going to the lab, I'll be back soon," I whispered.

She nodded and puckered her lips. I kissed her and walked off slowly and quietly down the hallway of the tower, stopping briefly int eh kitchen to make coffee. As I got closer to the lab, Should I Stay or Should I Go was blasting from inside. I pushed the door open with my abilities and Stark turned down the music, giving me an unimpressed look.

"What are you doing here?" He asked as I approached his desk in the lab with two iced lattes and a smug smile.

I handed him a coffee and watched as he took a sip and hummed at the taste. I raised my eyebrows, and he rolled his eyes.

"Thank you," he mumbled.

"You're so welcome Tony," I smirked, "I'm here because Natasha lost a deal."

"Lucky me," he replied, turning back to his iron man suit to fix what was sparking.

I smiled at his banter and walked over to my old station, sitting down at the computer and projecting my work around me.

"Friday, narrow down my search to things relating to the power stone," I requested.

Watching as my search grew closer and images of me fighting throughout the years came up. Clicking on the video image from 2012, I saw myself in New York as the Chitauri invaded the city.

"Show me the history of the stone," I said, slightly quieter as I knew Stark could hear me over his music.

"It appears the power stone is a remnant of the six singularities which existed before the universe. It's known for its destructive nature and is incredibly powerful, capable of annihilating entire planets. Since your contact with the stone, it has been safely kept on Morag with the collector," she replied.

I hummed, "it can destroy planets?"

"Yes, Miss Y/L/N."

"How many people have been in contact with the power stone?" I asked.

"You are the first to touch it," she said slowly.

"Should it have killed me?" I replied.

"Friday, stop," Stark requested.

I turned around in my chair and furrowed my brows at him, "why did you do that?" I asked.

"Once you know everything, you might wish you didn't," he said, sitting down next to me.

"It's my life Stark," I told him.

"I know," he sighed, "but ... I don't think you're ready for it."

"That's my choice to make," I said.
