The Tale of a Midgardian Frost Giant

Chapter 11

(Trixie's PoV)

The memories repeated in my mind. The shots, the fall, the burn. Shots, fall, burn.

Shots,

Fall,

Burn!

"Are you sure your alright?" I heard Steve asked, but I ignored the question. Steve put his hand on my shoulder, but I merely pushed it off.

"I'm going for a walk," I said as I quickly stood up and walked over to the elevator. I hit the first floor button before anyone could say anything. My breath quickened in pace, and I tried to calm myself down but it wasn't working. I had to try thinking of something to calm myself down, but I couldn't think of anything. At least not anything besides that terrible night. Shots, fall, burn. I tried erasing the thought but it didn't work, I quickly walked out of the lobby as the elevator doors opened. As I walked outside there was hardly anyone walking around. Everyone was either at home, or somewhere besides the streets. I saw a few people walking on the streets, but only three or four. I walked a few blocks until I came to an old apartment complex. Behind the complex there was a large lake that my brother and I used to play by. I went to the edge of the lake and sat down. The thoughts of that day vanished as I thought of the times my brother and I would play here. I thought of how sometimes I would freeze over the whole lake and we would just slide around the whole night. As I thought about freezing the lake, I thought about how I froze, well burned, part of Adam. The memories came flashing back. Shots. Fall. Burn. My breath sped up again as I started to have a panic attack. Whenever I had a panic attack a lost all control over my powers. I tried to calm down, but the memories raced through my mind. Shots. Fall. Burn. I couldn't think of anything that would calm me down. I tried thinking about good times I had with Adam, but as soon as I thought of Adam I thought of that terrible night. My breathing got faster, and when I went to stand up a stumbled back to the ground.

"Come on, just think about something besides Adam that can calm you down!" I whispered to myself. But Adam was the only thing that could ever calm me down if I got upset. I saw a flash of the memory again, but then I started to think about something else. I thought about what Loki said to me, and it actually calmed me down. I thought about it more and my breathing slowed back down. I looked at my hands and the blue faded. I stood back up, and starred at the lake. I began wondering what was going to happen to Loki. Would he be locked up, or killed? A better question is, why did he say nothing about my skin turning blue? Seriously, who just watches someone's skin turn blue and then says nothing about it at all? The thoughts raced through my head  as I stood there.

We all sat there in silence, after watching Trixie leave. The past few days, had been very hard to take in. First Loki comes, then he killed Phil, then he kidnapped Trixie after Furry lied about her, and now I was finding out a lot more about Trixie than I thought I ever would. I knew she didn't like socializing with people who are a part of SHIELD but I can't really blame her for it. Not only did they basically lock her up for no real reason, but they killed her brother, in front of her when she was only eight years old. I'm not even sure how old he was but I knew he was younger than her. Why would you do that? Why would you kill a seven year old, especially when they didn't do a damn thing?!

"You think she's ok?" Clint asked.

"I don't know, it looked like she was getting ready to have a panic attack," Bruce said.

"I think I know why she left after you asked that," Steve said to Clint.

"And why do you think she left?" I asked.
