AngelPrincess Fanfic Book 1

Chapter 3

Great, I thought. Here we go.

I put up my fists for a fight. A commotion rose from behind the men. Suddenly Bucky broke through the line and began throwing people aside easily. I started to attack with my hands. After a few goons were down they realized that we were dangerous. So they decided to bring in the guns. There was a BAM! and the world seemed to move in slow motion. A bullet whizzed towards Bucky, who had his back turned.

This is gonna hurt, I thought.

I reached out my hand and grabbed the bullet. Instead of searing pain I found that I was holding the bullet delicately between my fingers. Time seemed to stop and there was dead silence. My mind was still trying to figure out how I had caught the bullet between my fingers. I threw the bullet back at the guy but I used such a force that it hit the guy hard and knocked him unconscious. The rest of them ran off in different directions. I smirked, but when I turned around Bucky and Mia were stock white.

"What?" I asked.

"Do you not know what you just did?" Mia asked. "You caught a freaking bullet, Astrid. And you just turn around and smirk?"

"Uh, yeah." I answered. "What else was I supposed to do? Freak out and say I have superpowers?"

Mia raised an eyebrow, and waited for everything to sink in.

"Oh, my gosh. I have superpowers." I mumbled and passed out.

< ^ >

"Astrid? Astrid, can you hear me?" Someone called.

"Five more minutes." I muttered. "Five more minutes."

There was a chuckle. "You've been out for at least fifteen minutes. I don't think you need any more rest."

"Wait what?" I asked, sitting up and opening my eyes.

At first everything was fuzzy then Mia's face came into focus. As soon as my eyes came into focus Mia was really concerned.

"Are you ok, do you need to go to the hospital or something?" She asked.

"No, I'll be fine. But if you could help me up, that would be really helpful right now." I said, smirking.

She rolled her eyes and offered her hand. I took it and she helped pull me up. Bucky stood a little away, with his arms crossed. He looked at me with a new light.

"Ready to get back, soldier?" He asked. "Fury just called. It's time for you two to get shipped to Asgard. We're leaving in, three...two...one."

There was a sound as if time and space was being ripped apart and then a colorful tube came down and sucked up Mia, Bucky, and me. I closed my eyes and tried not to throw up. When I felt solid ground under my feet I opened my eyes. We now stood in what we called "the front yard" of our latest S.H.I.E.L.D. base. Fury, okay, Dad, came out and greeted us.

"Your mission will be to help find and exterminate the hiding Frost Giants, or what they call Jotuns." Dad said, not skipping a beat. "Thor and Loki will escort you to the palace where their father, Odin, will explain everything in more depth."

We nodded and walked away. I saw Mia look at me with a concerned face.
