Avengers Legacy: Phase 1

Styx Part 1

When I was a young girl, 10 years ago...

It was 7 AM, on Monday morning, time for school. Groaning, I jump out of bed and start to make my way downstairs. Something was wrong and I didn't know what. How could I? I was 6. My mom was on the phone, with tears in her eyes and a hand over her mouth.
"Mommy? What's happening?" I asked her.

She turned to me and with a sympathetic smile, put her hands on my shoulders. "Oh, honey. Everything is going to be alright. There's just an... inspector coming to see how much you can control your abilities."

"But mommy, I can easily control my abilities! See?" I teleported behind my mom and tapped her on the shoulder. "Behind you!" I laughed.

"Alright, my little devil. Let's take you to school." My mom said, now finally smiling.

At school, all my friends were looking at me funny, while my mom walked me into school. I started to feel uncomfortable, which my mom noticed. "Don't worry, It's nothing bad." She told me. I noticed the head teacher of my school was stood outside his office, staring at me.

He turned to me and bent down, next to me. "Don't worry, this will be good for you. There is no way this can go bad." I nodded slowly, not believing him.

Inside his office, I noticed a giant machine was situated in the corner, with a hooded man stood next to it.

I was terrified, I tried to run out the door but my mom grabbed me and held me still. "Hey, it's ok. You don't have to do this again after this." She told me, looking in my eyes. "Now, do you want to do it?" I slowly nodded, it couldn't be that bad, could it?

My mom held my hand as I walked back into the office, when the hooded man started to walk towards me. I stood still, although terrified, as he placed his hands on either side of my head.

Suddenly, I saw a vision. A woman, who looked like she was in her twenties, was hovering in the air. Her eyes were solid gold, and a shadow was cast on her face, making her look menacing. Behind her, a whole city was burnt to the ground. An army of skeletons were crawling out of the fire, below this woman, as if they were working for her.

I screamed, as this man took his hands off of me. He also looked shocked. "I saw it... the devil was in her. She will cause destruction to this city. Get her out of here." The hooded man said. Was that me I saw? The headmaster nodded and dragged me to the metal machine. I kicked and screamed, while I heard my mother shouting, crying that I was being taken. Suddenly, my eyes turned bright gold, like in the vision. Suddenly, my shadow started to move by itself and it broke the teachers shadows neck, killing the teacher.

I didn't mean for that to happen, but my mother was stood over me, horrified. I started to cry, as she stepped back from me. "See? The devil has taken over her!" The hooded man told her.

"Corrina..." My mom started, I looked up at her for help. "I'm sorry." She nodded at the hooded man. He moved his hands in a circular pattern, and some sort of portal appeared behind the machine, as the machine opened, revealing it to be some sort of pod. He pushed me in the pod and everything went black.

A while later, I woke up with seven people stood over me. A raccoon, a tree, a man covered in red tattoos, a woman with antennas, a blue robot, a pirate and someone who looked relatively normal. I couldn't tell where I was, but I guessed th inside of a spaceship, due to these funny looking beings.

"Who... Who are you?" I quietly asked. Most of them looked shocked or upset that I didn't know them.

"Who are we? We're the fricking Guardians of the Galaxy! We helped kill Thanos, 10 years ago!" The raccoon stated, with his hands on his hips.

"Well... You didn't do much did you? It was more me, Tony, Carol and Nebula." The pirate argued back, pointing at the blue robot.

"Thanos? Who is that?" I asked, intrigued.

"You don't want to know. He haunts me, and your only a child." The robot who I now know is Nebula, mumbled from the back of the group.

"Alright, back on topic. My name is Peter. What's your name and where did you come from?" The man said. I guessed Peter was the captain of this ship as he was stood next to the pilots seat.

"Umm... My name is Corrina and I'm from Missouri."

"I am Groot!" Shouted the tree. Looks like his name was Groot.

"Yes Groot, i know I'm from Missouri too. So your from Earth?" Peter replied.

I was confused. I just told him where I was from. I guess he never heard me correctly. "No, I'm from Missouri."

"Yeah, that's on earth." Facepalm. I was so embarrassed. "What about your parents, where are they?"

"My mommy sent me here because I hurt someone." I stated, starting to cry.

Suddenly, the pirate walked forward, and pulled Peter aside. "I have a friend on Earth, she lives in Greenwich. She would love to adopt a daughter. But its too dangerous for her to stay here, maybe when she grows older, I can train her." Peter nodded, and the pirate walked towards me and bent down to my level. "Hey, I'm Thor. So your mommy sent you here?" I nodded. "How about we find you a new mommy." I shrugged, not knowing what to say.

After a week on the ship with the Guardians, Thor took me to a small street in Greenwich, England. The street looked nice, small little cottages were scattered down the street. We stood outside of one of the houses, with Thor knocking on the door. It was quite a loud knock, even though he was barely touching the door. A woman, who was about 48 years old opened the door.

"Thor?" The woman asked, sounding shocked.

"Hey, Jane."
