Astra breezed through the race track on her black motorcycle, the dark blue sky in the background of the illegal and broken-down race stadium. The adrenaline that pumped through her veins gave her some release.

Being away allowed her to clear her head and discover herself without a bunch of agents monitoring her every move. Or her brother asking questions all the time.

Though she missed her old life, she didn't regret leaving. She saw a lot of the world. And illegally racing wasn't the only crime she committed to get money. But everything she did was to help people. She was considered a vigilante by lots of people, other called her a hero when she saved lives. While her true identity stayed a secret from the public the name Asteroid became common among there common people.

While some called her 'vigilante' or 'hero' or 'white haired girl', the name Asteroid was everywhere when she made an appearance.

She passed her opponent one final time and she crossed the finish-line before he. She crossed to the sidelines, taking her helmet off. Her contender pulled up close by and the small crowd would groan or cheer. Either gaining or losing money.

Once Astra collected the money owed to her, she left the stadium. She passed a central spot for the homeless and took out the stack of money she recently won. Distributing it among the desperate people before making her way to her hotel room. A moderate and touristic room.

The wallpaper was a pale green with a tan stripe through the middle. The bed had white sheets on a steel frame. And the bathroom was white with the same green as the room.

She glanced out the window, the yellow sun rising in that moment. It wasn't a beautiful sight in this city. It was so polluted that you smell the trash from a mile away.

Changing into a navy blue t-shirt, leather jacket, jeans and black compact boots with heels, Astra gathered her things. Checked out of the hotel quietly and hopped onto her motorcycle.

But before starting the bike up, she took out her phone to check her messages. She hasn't been much into contact with anyone. The only people, really, were Chase, Natasha and Clint, who had been her support system. Not wanting to hear anything from her brother.

Looking through her messages she read Chase's sweet messages. And from Natasha, a missed call. Astra dialed her back. The phone ringing a few times before Nat finally picks up.

"Ash." She greeted in her smooth and calming voice, but still a dash of worry.

"Nat? What's up?" She questioned

"Coulson called, there's a global threat. We need your help/"

"You know what you just reminded me of?" Astra snickered, a childish grin on her pink lips.

"What?" Astra could hear the annoyance in her friend's voice.

"'Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.'" She quoted from Star Wars.
