Magic can't solve everything (A Dr Strange x Oc fanfic)

Prologue

A tall yet slim man stood in a room, examining a large object that was emitting all kinds of energy from it. Off to one side, a small girl sat, playing with some toy animals. She had bright blue eyes and dark black hair that reached her shoulders.

The man looked at his equipment, the readings of the object showing high energy signals. Every movement was picked up by the object, causing a small Spike in its energy readings.

He noted down every single change that happened on a notepad. He turned around and walked over to some of his other tech. The girl looked up, now watching as the man did his work. She got up and walked over but before she could reach him, she tripped over one of the wires.

The wire tugged on the table as the object fell, hitting the ground, its energy levels spiking to massive levels. A blast of energy was emmited through the building, causing stuff to explode or break.

The man was sent flying back, hitting a wall and falling limp onto the ground. The young girl, curled up, covering her head with her hands as she let out a cry of fear.

When the energy had stopped, she opened her eyes and looked up from her crouched position. The building was being engulfed in flames as she could make out the man's body through the faint light.

Standing up, she walked over, shaking him. "Dad. Wake up" she cried. She continued to do this, begging for him to wake up but he didn't. Tears streamed down her face as some of the flames formed into a ball of flame in her hands.

She looked at it, a couple of tears falling onto the flames and evaporating. The flames then burst out of her hands before disappearing.

Soon the bregade arrived, putting out the flames as they found the girl sitting next to her father's body. She was lifted up by a woman and carried out to the fire truck where she was looked over but it was reported that she had no series injuries.

Amanda's pov

I walked behind a lady who led me into a room. A man with an eyepatch sat behind the desk as I tensed up. I had been living in an orphanage for a few years but I never stayed in the same one for more then a year.

It was because I kept hurting other people by accident. I couldn't help it. Somehow I would end up with some sort of element in my hand and then it would explode out at someone and hurt them. I had been brought here because I was told that someone wanted to see me because they had heard about this power I had.

I was ushered to sit by the lady before she left me alone with the eyepatch guy. I felt really uncomfortable since he was just staring at me with a rather scary look. "So. Your Amanda?" he asked. I nodded.

"You look very different to what the pictures show" he pointed out, showing me a picture on a profile. I looked down at my hair which was down to waist. After the incident, my hair had gone from black to white but the tips were different colours. Red, blue, yellow, black and a very pale yellow. My eyes had gone from blue to a pale white and I could no longer see in colour, only black and white.

"I know" I whispered, fiddling with a strand of my hair. "So what's this power of yours?" he asked, leaning on the desk. "I can control different elements" I replied. "To what extent?" he asked.

"I can take an element from somewhere around me and use it to attack but I can't produce the element myself" I replied. He nodded before calling someone into the room.

A man walked in and took me out of the room as I was led to another room. I was told to sit down and I did, seeing a girl sitting next to me. "Hi" I spoke, looking at her. She turned to look at me, pain in her eyes. "Who are you?" she asked. "I'm Amanda. What about you?" I replied, ending with a question.

"Ava" she replied. I reached out to shake her hand but my hand just phased right through it. "How did you do that?" I asked. "I got caught up in an accident that caused my body to take in quantum energy and be able to phase but it hurts" she replied.

"Oh. I was caught in an explosion. My dad was examing something and I caused an explosion which gave me the power to control elements" I replied, holding up my hands as a ball of electricity formed in them. "Nice to meet you" she responded. I nodded.

I wandered about the streets, looking for somewhere to stay while keeping my hood up to hide my face. S.H.I.E.L.D had fallen after they had been infultrated and I had been left on the run. I had also lost the gloves they had made me to control my powers.

I found an old abandoned building and walked in. There was no electricity so the lights weren't working but there was a fire place. I looked around for someway to start a fire and found a lighter. I used it to make a ball of fire in my hand and then made it explode in the fireplace, starting a fire.

I sat down on the couch, pulling my hood down as I pulled my legs up to my chest and buried my face into my knees as I wrapped my arms around my legs. Not long after I fell asleep.
