Indies's Story

Chapter Five: Problems with Indie's powers and abilities and meeting Bucky

The next morning after Indie woke up and got ready for the day, Steve asked Indie if she wanted to go on a run with him since they both had super speed and Indie was able to keep up. Once they decided where they were going, got their shoes on and told everybody where they were going, Indie and Steve headed off. Steve would always ask Indie if she wanted to come along with him and Indie loved going along with Steve. Steve and Indie would always have running races and of course Indie would always win each time. Steve and Indie would always run for an hour with breaks included since they both had the ability to not get tired or sore. 

After about only five minutes, Indie called out to Steve "hey Steve would we be able to take a quick break" "yeah of course" Steve replied. "Thanks, sorry, I just need a minute" Indie replied. "No worries, take your time sweetie" Steve informed Indie. Indie sat down and almost lost her balance as she was sitting down "Woah, woah you ok Indie, you almost fell there" Steve questioned Indie with a worried tone. "Yeah, well I think so" Indie replied. "That's so weird that you are tired already as it has only been five minutes." Steve said. "Yeah, I don't know what's going on" Indie replied. After a ten minute break, Indie let Steve know that she was ready to run again, and Steve helped her up and made sure that she was ok before starting to run again. However, after only a minute, Indie had to stop again, and Steve instantly went to see if she was alright. Just as Steve approached Indie, her legs gave way, but Steve was quick to catch her "It's ok Indie, I've got you. Are you sure you're alright? Steve questioned. "Yeah, I'm just feeling lethargic all of a sudden, and both of my legs are really sore, like really sore" Indie informed Steve. 

"OK well how about we don't do anymore running and go back home" Steve suggested to Indie. "Can you walk, or do you want me to carry you?" Steve questioned. "Would you be able to carry me if that's ok, just because my legs literally cannot walk another step sorry." Indie told Steve. "Yeah of course Indie, you don't have to apologize. "Steve replied. "Thank you so much Steve" Indie said. "You're very welcome, anything for you Indie" Steve replied. So Steve picked up Indie and carried her back to the compound as it was only a five minute walk from where they were to the compound.

Once Steve and Indie arrived back home everyone instantly knew that something was wrong as Steve was carrying Indie. Loki and Ella rushed over to their daughter and asked, "What's wrong baby?" "Indie and I were just out for a run and after five minutes Indie asked me if we could have a rest and almost lost her balance as she was sitting down. After a ten minute break Indie told me that she was ready to run again so I helped her up and asked if she was alright before continuing. However, only after a minute of running, Indie stopped again and as I was rushing over to her, Indie's legs gave way, and I caught her. Then Indie told me that she literally could not take another step." Steve informed Indie's parents.

"That is really strange as Indie has never and I mean never ever had problems with her powers and abilities before." Loki said. "Yeah well should we get Bruce to run some tests to see what is going on?" Ella asked Indie. Indie just nodded her head as she was in a lot of pain. Steve, Loki and Ella all took Indie to see Bruce and started to run some tests to see if they could find out what the problem was and what they could do to help. Normally Indie hated needles, however Indie was in too much pain to be thinking about that. After Bruce gave Indie some medicine to help Indie with the pain, he went to look at the results. Tony was informed of this as he saw Steve carrying Indie when they got back from their run. Tony was helping Bruce with the tests as well.

Once Indie's pain went away, Tony asked if she could do a force shield to see if there was more than one of her powers that was playing up. Indie started to let out a force field, however as soon as Indie did this her force shield flickered and disappeared. Everyone including Indie had a confused look on their face so Tony asked Indie if she could fly and when Indie tried to, she seemed to have no control and would have trouble getting off the ground. Next was invisibility, Indie's Invisibility powers were perfectly fine and last was shapeshifting which was also perfectly fine. Everyone now knew what powers and abilities were playing up however no one still knew what was causing this.
