A Life Like Mine (Pietro maximoff x reader)

Part 2

After I had gotten all of the dishes put away I put my earbuds back in their case and back into my pocket.

I grabbed my blue lanyard that had my keys on it. There were only two keys on the keyring. One to the cafe and one to my apartment.

I walked outside and locked the cafe up and started walking in the darkness of New York at night.

I never needed a car considering I could just use my magic to either fly or teleport, and the fact that I never had enough money to buy one.

I was lucky to have this job. It was close enough to my apartment that I didn't have to waste my magic teleporting everyday and I could just walk.

I turned down the street when I got to the corner and I could see the apartment complex from here. It wasn't pretty it was old, rickety, and reminded me of a haunted house but it was all I could afford.

And hey at least I don't have to decorate for halloween.

I was only a few houses away when I felt my magic start acting up and my whole body froze and I couldn't move.

I started seeing flashes of an alley. I hadn't seen it before or at least I thought I hadn't.

In a couple of the flashes I saw a hooded figure I tried to look to see their face but the images were flashing by too fast.

When the vision ended I opened my eyes. I was laying on the cold concrete of the sidewalk and I had a small stinging pain in my head.

It had been a while since I had had any visions seeing as I only got them when I was in trouble and that worried me.

The last time I had gotten one was when I was back in California with my ex.

I got up off the concrete and rested my hand on my head to try and soothe the stinging in my head with my healing powers, even though I knew that they don't work on me.

I know right, what's the point of having healing magic if it doesn't work on yourself. stupid right?

After a few minutes I was able to soothe the pain enough and I continued towards my apartment when I looked across the street I saw it.

The alley.

The one from my vision except there was one major difference in my vision there was a hidden figure and now it was empty.

So what did I do?

I crossed the street.

I know genius right. Well I guess not because the second I got to the alleyway a pair of black gloved hands reached out from behind me and grabbed my neck cutting off my air, blood, and magic.

Yep all this amazing power and all someone has to do is grab my neck and its gone.

I tried to scream and fight but no sound came out of my mouth.

The loss of air and blood was starting to get to me and I could feel my head getting heavier with every passing second.

I kept trying to kick whoever had grabbed my neck and I managed to get a few kicks in but my head was extremely heavy and was getting heavier with every passing second.

And then It all went dark.

                                   ..............

It felt like it had been dark for ours but in reality it had only been a few seconds.

I felt my body slam to the ground and my eyes flew open at the impact.

My whole body shot up into a siting position and my hands grabbed at my neck trying to get as much air back into it as I could.

I could hear yelling and grunting coming from farther down the alley, but I was too concerned for my ragged breathing to try and figure out who was yelling.

I used my hands to push myself to the side of the alley and leaned against the wall trying to calm myself down enough so my healing magic could try and help me breathe more clearly.

After I got better control of my breath I looked over to where the yelling had come from to people handcuffing a man in black.

I recognized the clothes of the man to see that it was the hooded figure from my vision and the person that had attacked me.

When I looked closer at who the people were that were handcuffing him I recognized them as some of the avengers

Black widow was holding the figures hands behind his back and Captain America was putting handcuffs on him.

A little bit closer to me there were two more people standing there. A girl and a boy

I knew they were new to the avengers but I was having a hard time putting my finger on their names.

I pushed my brain back to this morning when Gary was listening to the news.

M.. it started with an M.

And then I remembered...

Maximoff

As soon as I thought that name the girls head whipped around to look at me

Oh no did she hear that.

I immediately turned my head and stared down at the concrete.

Is she reading my mind, does she know who I am, or that I have powers.

Crap Y/n stop thinking, how does someone even stop thinking. My brain was starting to spiral.

"Hey are you ok? A soft voice interrupted my brain's spiraling.

I snapped my head up to look at who had said it

It was the maximoff girl, she had her hand out and looked concerned.

I gave a small nod and grabbed her hand

She started pulling me up but the second I got to a standing position I felt a searing pain in my right thigh and heard the bang of a gun in the distance.

I let out a scream and fell back to the ground grabbing my leg.

I could feel tears running down my face but all I could focus on was the searing pain of the bullet moving around in my thigh.

I started to lose my sight and control of my body as I was thrown into one of my normal seizures.

I couldn't see or hear anything but I felt a strong pair of hands move me onto my side and I felt my head resting in someones lap as my body kept jerking and shaking.

And then I lost all feeling and my brain fell unconscious.
