Me?! An Avenger?!

Chapter 15: I can't be her. Can I?

I woke up with a start. I sat straight up ready to fight whoever was around. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust to what was around me. But what I saw was unusual. I saw men and women busying themselves around me but they were all wearing Cloaks. They hung off of their bodies to where you could not tell the gender they were unless you got a side profile. One of them had notice I was awake.

"Prince Thor is in Heimdall's Observatory. Go out the door and make a left. If you get lost just ask the guards." He acted as if he was instructed not to talk to me more than to tell me where Thor was. I thanked him and got up to go and find Thor.

I went out and down the hall just as I was told. I continued to follow the path. I had been walking for about 10 minutes when I saw I giant dome that kind of reminded me of a bird. I figured that must be where Thor is. So I continued to follow the giant observatory.

Once I had arrived at the entrance I saw Thor talking to an older gentleman. I walked through the entrance, and the guy saw me I'm assuming he's Heimdall. I glance at Thor, then back at the man. But he hadn't taken his eyes off of me. He looked like he had seen a ghost. I was starting to panic. He was staring too long and I get anxious and start panicking around people who are older than me.

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked looking at Thor. I watched him look at Heimdall. I glanced at him. He looked as if he had seen a ghost. I hear him mumble something as he steps closer. I start to tense up the closer he gets. Our eye contact never broke. There was something familiar about this man, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

Then he was right in front of me. He placed his hand on my cheek so softly as if he fully touched my cheek he would break me. Then I hear him mumble something to himself along the lines of

"No, it..... it can't be." I was starting to freak out. Without thinking I grab his hand that was on my cheek by his wrist. I flung his arm around in a circle and flipped him over onto the ground. It happened so fast I didn't have time to register what has happening. By the time I did Heimdall was laying on his back on the ground.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry you scared me. I don't know what happened. I never learned that, it was just instinct. I'm so sorry." I explained starting to hyperventilate. I was profusely apologizing to Heimdall as I could barely breath. I watched Heimdall slowly get up with Thor's help. He still didn't take his eyes off of me. I could barely breath by now I felt so bad I was hyperventilating and I couldn't focus and my vision was starting to blur around the edges. I hear some yelling in front of me, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I grabbed it and flipped then forward over me and onto the ground. I instantly realized that it was Bruce and I started shaking and stumbling.

I fell down on my knees, right in front of Bruce. By this time he had caught his breathe and was on his knees in front of me. He was trying to get me to calm down and relax. All I heard over and over again was him just saying over and over again.

"Hey it's ok. No one is hurt. Don't worry, it will be ok." after a while Bruce was holding my hands caressing them softly as a way to come back to being ok. It took Bruce a while to get me to the point to where I could at least communicate with them. I was still shaking but I was able to talk and breath regularly for the most part.

"I'm sorry I flipped you on the floor... both of you. I just started freaking out and I was scared. But I don't know how I knew how to do that. I was never taught how to do that." I explained looking down at my shaking hands.

"Maybe I can clear some of that up Lady Amy. I was informed by the Healers that you have the same bodily composition as my fallen friend Lady Sylvia. I didn't believe it at first. But then I started thinking, you both look identical, same personality, bodily composition, and now the fact that you just took down Banner and Heimdall without breaking a sweat. Lady Sylvia used to flip me over like that when ever I snuck up on her like that or when ever she was bored. I think you may be a reincarnated version of our dear beloved Lady Sylvia." Thor tried to explain to me.

"NO. That is not possible. From what I heard about Lady Sylvia she is great and courageous and amazing and can fight off anyone she wants and can defend herself. She had a loving father and family and everything sounds great. But I am the exact opposite of her. I can't be her. I can't. No one loved me no one was there for me. She had everyone I AM NOT her... I can't be her. Can I?" I rambled.

Heimdall knelt down in front of me. I moved back into Bruce on instinct. He just put his hands out in front of me as to say ok I won't move anymore. "May I take your right arm?" He asked me in the most non threatening way he could. I nodded my head. I gave him my arm. He pulled up the sleeve of my short sleeve shirt a little. There was a faint scar there. He traced across it gently as if reliving the memory of it. "This Scar right here. It was when Sylvia was practicing with Thor and he got her arm. He nicked her Brachial Artery. We had to rush her to the Healers. She was 10 at the time. Can you lift your shirt a little to expose your stomach? If not that is ok." He asked gently. I lifted my shirt enough to expose my stomach. He put his fingers on a 2 inch scar just below the one I got from Gram. "This was her first real battle scar. She was fighting an ice giant and got ran through by one of their spears." I put my shirt down. He looked into my eyes. " Have you ever felt like you don't belong? Do you have the feeling that something is missing no matter how hard you try to fill that hole you can't?" I nod silently to myself and look down. He puts his hand under my chin to make me look up at him. "It's because I am your father. I know it might not seem like it but over time you will realize and remember your past life. But If you will let me Lady Amy I would love to get to know you better. I hope you know I am just one word away." With that Thor, Banner, and I were back on the Helicarrier in the Lab.

Everyone looked like they hadn't slept in days. Steve looked the worst. He looked stricken with worry. But they instantly noticed us and rushed up in a roar of questions.
