AVENGERS: Gemini.

1. A Frozen Heart

NEVE POV:
I'm laying on the infirmary bed, talking to my twin sister, her green eyes are lit up with excitement "So, do they work?" "I don't know, I've only been awake a little while, they said I have to rest a bit before I test my powers out." "You're gonna be super powerful, I can tell." "I hope so." "Dad'll love it and since I've had mine for a few months, I'll be able to help you more."

Just what I need, Aala teaching me how to use my own powers.

I sigh and her smile drops "You alright? Do you need me to sing?" I start to protest "No! I'm fine, I'm just tired, I-" But I'm cut off by her sweet voice, I try to resist her natural ability of calming people with her voice, but I fail. I almost start smiling but the door opens and Aala abruptly stops, a huge smile lights up on her face as we look to the door and see our mom. But she doesn't look very happy, she actually looks more miserable than me and that's saying something "Mom?" A tear slips down her cheek and she approaches the bed.

Oh no, what's happened? Is it me? Is there something wrong with me? Is it something else?

Aala realises something is wrong and drops her smile, Mom climbs onto the bed and we sit together "Girls, I have some bad news... It's your dad..." I grab Aala's hand "He's being sent to Russia." Aala speaks "But.. that's far away, isn't it?" Mom nods "I'm afraid it is, but he has to go." "Why? Why can't he stay?" "He has to work, they need him there more than here." I speak "But we need him." My sister nods in agreement "I'm sorry girls, but two 13 year olds and myself aren't enough to stop them from sending him away." "Does Dad want to go?" "He doesn't want to leave us, but he doesn't have a choice." "Can we say goodbye to him?" "Yeah."

We walk out of the room together, hand in hand, we're lead to the main entrance to the building. Dad is standing there with a backpack on, his brown hair is shielding his face from us right now, I pull my own brown hair in front of my shoulders. Aala calls out "Daddy!" He turns, his blue eyes searching for us, when he spots us, he runs over and pulls all 3 of us into a tight hug "I'll miss you girls, all of you." He kisses each of our foreheads.

Don't go... Don't leave us... Please.

He pulls back and places his hands on my shoulders, our blue eyes stare into each others, he gives me a small smile "Winter!" He quickly straightens up and takes a deep breath "I'll see you all again, I will." We watch him leave, then we all go back to the infirmary and keep each other company.

AALA POV:
It's early the next morning when I'm woken up by my sister thrashing about, I wake up our mom "Something's wrong with Neve." She gets out of her chair and we lean over Neve "She's having a nightmare.” “What do we do?" "I'm not sure, what do you usually do?" "Me!? I've never witnessed this before, I probably only woke up this time because of yesterday." "Yesterday... That's probably why she's having a nightmare." Mom starts gently shaking my sister, I climb onto the bed and wrap my arms around my legs "Neve, wake up! Neve!"

Wake up!

Neve starts to cry and panic, Mom tries to calm her down, but she knocks her backwards. I'm stuck where I am, panicking. She screams out "DADDY!" She spreads out her arms, the room gets cooler and I shiver. I notice the floor is changing, becoming blue, it's ice, it's creeping towards Mom as she continues screaming, Mom scrambles backwards "Sweetheart, sing." "What?" "Sing!" I start singing. The door opens behind mom, she explains to them what's going on. I finish the song and Neve lets out a gasp, ice shoots out of her fingers and I hear screams of pain, I bury my head in my hands, not wanting to see what happened.

Neve, please wake up!

I hear Mom shout "NEVIE!" The room gets slightly warmer, but still cooler than before, I feel a jolt on the bed and I look up to see my sister "Neve?" Her brown hair is now a white-blonde colour and her blue eyes are brighter, she lets out a gasp when she sees something behind me, and starts crying. I turn to face the door, the floor is covered in ice and there are ice spikes pointing up from the floor, 3 men in uniform are hanging limply on the spikes, blood dripping down. But what makes me burst into tears, is mom, she's been caught on one too, she's hanging limply.

MOMMY!

I don't know what to do, she's dead. I look to Neve. I crawl closer to her, but as soon as she feels me moving, she looks up and shakes her head, clutching her hands together "Don't come near me, I'll kill you." "This isn't your fault." "I killed her..." "Because of powers given to you, no one knew what you would be capable of." "I killed people." "You were having a nightmare, you got scared, this isn't your fault." "Yes, it is." I grab her shoulders and shake her "No, it isn't!"

I'm not blaming you, I could never blame you.

We break down in each other's arms. I hear the door open, followed by people talking, but we don't go quiet or look over. Eventually our tears are all gone and we lay together, we whisper with each other "We'll get out of here." "We can't." "We will. But we need a plan, we don't know our powers well enough, so we'll stay and let them teach us. Then when we're ready, we'll escape." "What about Daddy?" "We'll find him too." We fall asleep together.
