Everybody's got a past.
But Anna Lewis doesn't remember a thing about hers.
One moment she was at home with her husband and baby, the next one she found herself in a dark motel room with a metal-limbed man who tells her she's a lethal assassin. Tha...

I can see everyone marching towards the edge of the dome from the room we're in. The alien troops are already here and they're preparing for an attack. Apparently, there's this Titan, Thanos, who wants to collect six stones to kill half of the population in the universe. Vision has one of them embedded in his forehead, so we know they're going to go after him. Shuri is trying to detach the stone from Vision's body, while also trying to keep his conscience and his identity.
That, however, it's not easy at all. There's only two more of us apart from Shuri and Vision here. Wanda also stares at the battlefield through the huge glass. We don't say anything because we don't want to disturb Shuri, but the situation down there is not ideal, per se.
The alien creatures start slamming themselves against the doom, which kills most of them instantly. They keep doing it and I begin to wonder why would they basically sacrifice themselves, but just when it was getting repetitive, one of them achieves to get in.
Then, more follow the same steps, aggressively marching against our own forces. I turn to look at Wanda worriedly for the fate of our mates on the front.
"Shuri, is there anything I can do to help?" I say to the genius teen, who is working as fast as she can. I'm starting to feel useless here. "This is all so advanced. I'm a nurse, not an engineer. This kind of healing is way out of my league."
"I didn't ask for you to be here because you're a nurse." She says, not looking away from the holographic screen where she's constantly tapping. "I wanted you here because I know you're a great fighter. I know we'll be safe here if you're with us."
"Okay." I nod, then mumble, basically to myself. "I just hope they're fine without me down there." My gaze falls upon Wanda again, who I can tell feels the same way. She's actually the most powerful person I've ever encountered. I'm sure if she got down there, we'd win the battle in five minutes. Still, I don't say anything about that. She's up here, showing Vision her support. I've just recently learned that they're romantically involved and I know that if Bucky was the one laying on the table behind us, I wouldn't leave his side either.
Vision grunts as the machine above him keeps working. Right then, we get a rushing message from T'Challa. "How much longer, Shuri?"
"I've barely begun, brother." She tells him, moving her hands even faster, if that was possible.
"You might want to pick up the pace." If he saw her right now, he wouldn't have told that to his sister.
Suddenly, a loud sound rises among the yelling on the battlefield. A bunch of giant excavator wheels dig underneath the doom and emerge from the ground. If one of those starts moving, it would be the end of all of us.
"I'm going out there." I hear Wanda saying and I nod. She's possibly the only one who can do something about that. She looks for the nearest balcony to jump and get there flying.
