What's up?
I found your issue.
Well what is it?
I think you know. I had it too, in the past. Even pulled a gun on myself, pulled the trigger, it didn't work. My transition when becoming the hulk with the acceptance from the world, being know as a freak, a monster, it wasn't easy.
Thank god it didn't work.
How long have you had it?
12 years now.
My god, you're only 22.
Yeah.
Can I ask what happened?
Rape. I don't usually talk about it so you're lucky. Probably won't talk about it again.
I am so sorry.
You're not the fucker that did it, you don't have to be sorry.
You were diagnosed with depression at what age?
16.
When did you discover your powers?
The same hour, when I was 10.
Your powers are linked to a negative event which caused depression. Your depression is causing this auto-pilot energy intake. So what you have to do is treat your depression. It's not the easiest thing, I know. But that is the only way, besides another alternative but I suggest you not to try." I know what that alternative is.
Is that it?
We could drug you, but then you would be addicted to drugs.
It's better than the end of the world.
You are worth more than everyone on this planet, we're not going to do anything that will harm you for the likes of everyone else.
Isn't that part of my job? To save the world?
Yes, by this is different. You are not an alien army flowing through a hole in the sky. If it comes down to it we will do what we have to do, but it won't. We'll fix this.
No, Dr.Banner, I think I want to do this alone.
Are you sure? Other people can help trigger-
Positive. I've got this, I'll save the world, it's my job remember?
Right, well good luck Tiana.
Thank you Dr.Banner.
"Your bothering me tonight." Pietro walks in and hops under my white covers with me. No invitation was sent, no invitation is needed.
"How? There's a wall between us."
"I can feel you over there, I'm magical."
"Ha."
"You can't sleep, so I can't sleep. What's keeping you awake?"
"Dr.Banner gave me new info on my powers. I'm not taking it very well. I am... but I'm not."
"Want to go more into detail about this info?"
"No.
"Maybe I can talk you to sleep."
"Please do, I'm tired of running." Those last few words slip, but he doesn't acknowledge them.
"I thought really hard about a trip, were gonna take an epic vacation. Just me and you."
"Where will we go?"
"I'll show you the stars from Hawaii. Or Cuba."
"Yes Cuba. Where in Cuba would we see these stars? From the beach? Our rooms? On a roof?"
"I'll take you to a volcano, we'll sit at the top and watch the stars on a cold night with warm asses."
"Sounds beautiful."
"After this is all over that's where we'll run away to. Cuba, to see the stars. You could sing, I'll try to dance. We'd be together. You know your the closest I've ever been to someone besides Wanda, I've never really had a friend or a girlfriend even. Then I met you, and everything it better. Changed my life. Your just so happy, and bright, and... gorgeous. Fucking beautiful to look at." He stops and stares at me, finally at peace with my thoughts. Pietro smiles down on me and moves one of my curls from my face. "Even now." He quickly hops from under the covers and turns off the light closing the door behind him.
Too bad I didn't hear what he was saying, I needed them.
