*Angela's POV*
Peter left that night to go home since Aunt May would be home early in the morning.

"Are you gonna be okay tonight?" Peter had asked me worriedly.

"I'll be fine. Besides, I'm living in a building full of superheroes and people who want to protect me." I tried to convince him.

"Alright, but I'll be back tomorrow." Peter hugged me tightly before leaving. Now I was sleeping in my bed, but ,sadly, I was having a nightmare.

There was rubble and bodies laying around me. Familiar bodies. My heart sank as I looked at their faces and unblinking eyes.

The Avengers were laying at me feet.

"Guys?" I called out, but was greeted with a deafening silence.

I kneeled down by my dad's body. His brown eyes looked at the sky, having no idea I was there. His hair that was turning gray in places was messed up and his light purple shirt was soaked in his own scarlet colored blood.

"Dad? Wake up," I shook him in a sad attempt to make him breath again. "Daddy?"
My heart sank as tears threatened to spill and I felt like an orphan as I gently closed his eyes with my trembling fingers. I did the same with everyone, silent tears streaming my face as I paid my respects.

My eyes landed on four more bodies that weren't there before.

Pepper. Peter. Mikey. Loki.

I did the same as I did with the others and closed their eyes.

Loki's green eyes were dull and lifeless. There was no mischievous sparkle that I've come to love so much.

Only when I was next to my brother did a sob escape my lips. He was my little brother and this shouldn't have happened. I should have protected him the way I promised myself I would.

"I'm sorry that I didn't protect you. I didn't prevent this," I stopped for a few seconds as another sob climb ,y throat and forced its way out of my mouth. "Please, come back." I tried to yell but, instead, it came out in a whisper. My face was buried in his chest as I kept my hands on his shoulders.

"See what you have done." A voice said, sending a chill down my spine.

My head turned just enough to see a man towering over me. He had gray-bluish skin and black eyes, he was wearing a blue uniform. The same cloth that I had found in my room after that first night.

Rage filled me as I stood to my feet. My body trembled with fury I didn't know I was capable of.

"You!" I pointed a finger at him accusingly. "You did this!"

"No, child. You did. You did not follow my orders. I had no choice." he said calmly.
How could he be calm after murdering my family?

"No! You did this! And you're going to pay!"

I lunged at him, knocking him to the ground. This surprised him, but he quickly recovered. He threw me off of him and stood up, casting a huge shadow.

My body took over as I backed my in a crab walk, my hand hitting something in the process. My eyes looked to see the object that I had come in contact with. It was huge piece of metal that I recognized as Steve's shield.

Not wasting any time, I took it in my hands as I got to my feet. Suddenly, I found the strength to throw the shield at the man (if you could call him that, he was more like a monster).
