the case of who are you? and

the avengers facility was extremely busy now, all of us under the same roof all working as one towards a common goal; bring everyone back.

but one thing that did change was my fitness, I had lost major weight in my eight year sleep and now I was making up for it in the form of punching bags and sit ups.

my tightly closed fist collided with the punching bag repeatedly until my brain zoned out. the more that I stuck around everyone the more the past eight years fell together like puzzle pieces. I found myself at a crossroad to where I was questioning everyone's motives, more specifically steve's.

my opinion became different on everyone but right now steve was not in my good graces and without really saying anything to me. steve has drifted away from me and I knew why. learning and understanding my magic had now become my main priority next to getting back in shape again.

so far, I mastered how to move physical objects and tap into people's brains without having to touch them. maybe now I could see what bru' was thinking. thor had also given me some background about bruidihilde, saying she was a valkyrie which were female warriors sworn to protect the king of asgard but they all died in a battle against thor's eldest sister 'Hela'. this knowledge lead to thor rambling about how valkyrie's were so strong then about how he was the last odinson in existence.

thor was severely depressed and it was extremely obvious as he continued to drown himself in booze and junk food.

"you seem angry," steve's voice called out making me look at him briefly before turning my attention back to the punching bag. "training not angry," I simply mumbled hoping he would just leave it at that.

but of course, he didn't, he was staring at me and I sighed looking at him. "need something rogers?" my tone was uneasy and irritated but my magic was tapping into his thoughts. he was uncomfortable and here for answers.

silence lingered in the facility's gym before steve finally asked, "how do you know what you know?" I snorted at his question finding it quite hilarious that he cared. "I'm a deity steve, I have powers. you're not the coolest anomaly in the metahuman zoo anymore," I bluntly said and he arched a brow at me. "your ego is showing," steve sarcastically said and I laughed walking closer to him.

"you can have a ego when you haven't broken up a team because it's 'morally' right," I calmly said throwing him a fake smile.

"without morals where would the world be?" his tone was agitated. I was getting under his skin. "in the same place."

"bullshit," he boldly stated and I snorted. "whoo, you're cursing at me. i'm so scared star spangled man," I taunted standing right in front of him. his eyebrows were knitted together as he stared at me.

"take away those powers and what are you underneath all that?" steve questioned as if it was the smartest question ever. "someone who's going to kick your ass rogers without my powers and you won't leave unscathed," I threatened watching his jaw clench. "face it rogers, you can't live without a war like stark said," my voice was firm and steve placed both his hands on my shoulders pushing me back gently.

and I, did the absolute unthinkable.

I threw a left hook into his jaw catching him completely off guard as it connected. my knuckles harshly popped as I pulled my fist back staring at my now reddened knuckles.

"I take away all the shields in the world then what exactly is captain america? it definitely isn't steve rogers because you don't even know who you is, spent your whole life running towards a fight because he thought it was the right thing," I balled my fist up again watching him do the same.

instead of throwing another punch, I swept my right foot under his feet making him fall over on his back. a groan emitted from his lips before he quickly scrambled to his feet.

his weak spot.

I had to beat him, I had to prove my point and I had to do it without my magic. I threw another punch towards his eye and he dodged it bringing his foot up to my stomach shoving me on my back.

mentally I cursed as he stepped closer to me and I thought really hard about my next move teetering on if it was the right one. right as he was in front of me I brought my foot up, harshly connecting it with his crotch.

"son of a bitch," he cursed holding his groin area and I took the time to get up and swing a right jab, bringing my elbow down against his left temple. which he blocked with his forearm.

he moved back and I followed suit throwing a sloppy punch that didn't land. steve threw a harsh punch towards my face and I stumbled, the burning feelings shooting up my nose as blood trickled down the top of my lip.

I paused, wiping my nose with the back of my hand, staring at the crimson color before my eyes cut to steve. "you won't have to wear a suit anymore because i'm about to beat you until you're red and blue," I threatened about to lunge at him before I felt arms surround me, holding me back.

"woah there lightsaber," tony's voice said in my ear as he moved away from steve while I glared daggers at the patriot.

maybe that sleep didn't help me, maybe it made me worse because I felt like the same nineteen year old back in brooklyn crying over her mom being dead. but my anger wasn't done.

I swung my head back harshly, hitting tony's forehead making tony's arms around me fall to his side before I ran and roundhouse kicked steve in his face before putting all my might in my left fist, connecting it with his jawline sending him backwards, slightly sliding.

"that's who I am without my magic,
now who the fuck are you?"
