Lost

Chapter 1

When I slowly regain consciousness I'm completely bewildered. There are voices all around me, mostly male, but I make out one or two females as well. It sounds like they're arguing about something. "How do we know she's not a threat?! An agent planted by Hydra?!" an angry voice yells. "Maybe because she was unconscious and barely breathing?!" an equally angry voice retorts. I try to shrink into myself, away from the voices that are scaring me.

"She's awake," a soft feminine voice says next to me. "Finally, maybe now we can get some answers," a gruff voice murmurs a little further away. Slowly, I manage to open my eyes, wincing against the sudden intrusion of the bright overhead lights. Once my eyes have adjusted I take a look around the room, absorbing my surroundings. The walls are a mix of dark grey and wood paneling, with a white ceiling, glossy slate grey tiles, and a myriad of medical equipment stationed around the spacious room. I am lying in a hospital bed, but it is much larger and more comfortable than any other bed I've ever been in.

"Hello miss, my name is doctor Banner, can you tell me your name?" a man next to you says. His voice is soft, gentle almost as he speaks. Doctor Banner is dressed in black slacks, a purple button up shirt and a crisp white lab coat, his eyes are a warm, comforting brown and he smells faintly of coffee and mint.

"Y/N...My name is Y/N," I manage to rasp out, my voice hoarse. I look at the people spread out around the room, all of them holding a tenseness to their posture, almost as if they expect a fight to break out at any moment. After struggling for a moment I ask "Who are you people, and where am I?"

"We're the Avengers, and you are at the Avengers compound" the tall, well-built blond in the black sweatpants and a blue t-shirt that's about two sizes too small for him answers. "What's that? Like a band or something?" I'm feeling confused and start to panic slightly, or at least, I was panicking until a red haze overtook my vision and I could feel myself relaxing.

The next time I wake there is only two people in the room, doctor Banner, and a petite brunette girl with black skinny jeans, a red top, and black sneakers sitting next to my bed. "Hello, I'm Wanda," she says in a soft voice, she sounds foreign, but I can't place my finger on where at the moment. "Hi" I whisper back.

"Hello y/n, it's good to see you awake again. I'm sorry if we might have overwhelmed you earlier. From your reaction, I gather that you might not be from here, can you tell me where you're from? What do you remember?"

"I'm from Manhattan..." I search my mind for any memories and remember the running, the fall... and then nothing. "I was running away from someone...I was scared and didn't see where I was going...I fell from a cliff...then I woke up here."

It is dead silent for a few moments before Wanda gasps, her eyes widening exponentially. "Bruce, that weird storm we had right before we found her, you don't think that might have anything to do with it?" Bruce removes his specks from his eyes, rubbing them before looking back up. "It could be a possibility, but we would need to run more tests to be sure. In the meantime, I'll talk to Tony about getting a bedroom set up, that is if you don't mind staying here a while longer?" he looks to y/n as he says this.

"Well, it's not like I have anywhere I need to be, so sure. Use me as a guinea pig doc, let's find out why I'm here," she shrugs and gives them a small smile.
