Nick Fury's POV

I was starting to question this whole experience, but I didn't have a lot of time before the next memory started.

Leo was sitting in a hospital bed, looking down at his hands and tears collecting in his eyes.

The door opened but he didn't notice, the doctor entered the room with a familiar face...

"What the fuck is she doing there?" Asked Bucky with a snarl

"Diablo (devil) how dare you!" Screeched Leo's Aunt,

"Ma'am! Please he is clearly in shock!" Exclaimed the doctor surprised with her yelling

The sound of Rosa's hand striking, Leo's cheek echoed through the room. Drawing a surprised gasp from the doctor as he rushed out of the room.

Leo raised his head, and tears streaming down his face,

"I-I'm sorr-" Leo tried to choke out but was cut off but the deranged woman throwing water on him.

"Don't try that on me, Diablo (devil)!"

Three other people entered the room and dragged the woman out, trying to calm her down,

"I warned your mother about this! Keeping you was a mistake!"

Her screaming died down as she was dragged down the hall out of the hospital.

Leo looked at his now soaked form and realize that the water that his aunt threw on him was... Holy water.

This made him sob, "I-I'm a-a freak..."

The room was silent and I took the time to study everyone in the room.

Loki and Thor looked shocked, also a little bit confused.

Natasha, Clint and Bucky looked about ready to hunt that bitch down and cut her. I'll admit even I wanted to help this child, not that I cared or anything (A/N: tsundere pirate).

Pietro had tears in his eyes, as did Peter.

Tony looked lost in his thoughts, Bruce was taking in deep breaths and Steve looked sympathetic.

"Holy water?" asked Loki,

"Some people believe that it expels and burns demons," I explained to the two gods.

"Ha, that is silly! This child isn't a demon! They are much worse!" Said Thor with a booming laugh.

"W-well maybe she knew about his powers?" stuttered Peter as he rubbed his chin in thought,

"He just lost his mother for god sake, and then that bitch pulls something like that," muttered Clint as the memory played on.

Leo was sitting in a black car with a plastic bag sitting on his lap, he was staring at his hands and twiddling his thumbs. The lady driving the car kept glancing back at him every so often.

After around 5 minutes on silence, the car stopped, and both Leo and the woman got out of the car opening his door.

"We are here Leo," Said the lady with a small smile, the boy didn't return it and grabbed his bag getting out and walking up to the door, that looked like it had been replaced recently.

The lady knocked on the door and it swung open to reveal an old greasy, overweight man. He grunted and glared down at the impish boy, 

"Hello sir I am Ms. Freeman and this is Leo, he will be living here with the other boys."

The man grunted again and jerked his head gesturing Leo in, but as soon as Ms. Freeman tried to step in the house he held out his arm to stop her.

"Excuse me I should be able to-" The door closed in her face before she could finish.

"Rude..." mumbled Loki.

"Your room is upstairs you will be sharing with the other boys, I don't really care about what you do just don't get caught by the police." Grunted the overweight male as he waddled over to the couch and sat down.

"I don't cook dinner, find your own food."

"Isn't the whole point of being an owner of an orphanage is to care for the kids?" Asked Steve with a raised eyebrow.

"Some people just do it for the money they get from the government," Said Bruce as he rolled his shoulder back.

Leo nodded and walked upstairs walking to the door which had sound coming from behind it. He opened it and four pairs of beady eyes were suddenly on him, all sound stopped.

"Hi..." Leo said meekly as he looked at each boy, a red-head, two brunets and a blonde.

"Hello I am Axel, 13 years old." Said the blonde, with a small wave and smile.

"I am Kevin, 9 years old." Nodded the redhead with a cheeky smile.

"Hi! I am Derek and this is my brother Harry we are both 5, Harry can't talk because he is mute!" exclaimed one of the brunets, while the other shyly smiled.

"I am Leo, 8 years old." Said the small child with a lazy smile.

"Well Leo," Axel patted his back, "Welcome to hell."
