The Dark Witch: Fallen (Avengers Fanfic)

Chapter 4

Something's... wrong.

I-I can't remember.

I feel like I'm floating.

My body does not obey and I don't know why.

Help.

Please.

Save me.

I think I was screaming. But no one hears me. No matter how much I struggle, no matter how much I beg, no one comes, no one helps.

I'm alone.

I will always be alone.

The lights are crackling, the blue and green enveloping my body whole. I sense the gold line my chest, swirling at my heart, burning me, searing me, making me realize I am made for something more--

A piercing siren, shoot straights into my brain, proving too much for me to handle as I'm startled awake, brutally ripped away from the earlier feeling that paralyzed my senses.

I gasp, choking.

My neck felt like it was on fire and my wrist burned like the 4th of July.

"Blues, Blues, hey!"

A pair of arms circle me upwards so I'm sitting up and melting onto my brother's warm embrace, feeling his warmth as it seeps into my bones.

I fought against the disorientation, feeling unbearably dizzy.

"What happened? I-I can't remember..." My voice sounded like chalk. Like I have not drunk water for days.

Prying my eyes open, I noticed I'm in my room and everything around me was in disarray as though an earthquake had rocked it.

Without a doubt, I knew it must have been me.

How did I get here?

Didn't I just leave the Tower?

Why were my memories so hazy?

"Tony, what happened?" I demanded, forcing him to meet me. He shakes his head and reaches for a cup situated on the counter.

It's filled with a weird teal looking liquid.

"Do you expect me to drink that?" My gaze narrowed at it in suspicion.

Tony rolls his eyes and hands it to me more forcefully. "Drink it, or I won't speak."

Reluctantly, I obeyed and swallowed it on go, feeling my throat burn at the intensity of how bitter it was.

"Ah, shit!" I coughed hard, the liquid freezing my veins.

All at once, something like coldness began to shadow me, melting into my bones and filling my veins. I felt my whole body relax.

The pain disappeared and my headache cleared.

What on earth?

"How did you...?"

"That's something I've been working on for your abilities." Tony hummed as an explanation, setting the glass down on the work table.

"It numbs your powers so you're able to clear your head for a while."

When did he do this? How did he even engineer it? As far as we know, there is nothing on this Earth that can ever fully control the power that runs through my veins.

Unless...

"You used the sceptre," Looking up at him, I waited for his confirmation, gaze burning. "If Thor finds out--"
