An Archer's daughter

Chapter 10: An Old Friend

Elizabeth's POV

I ran down to the basement. I always knew there would be a situation like this, when I would have to leave this little home of mine and and never come back..... Again.
I grabbed a backpack with a few clothes in it, and my phone. Yes, I know that it's risky to take my phone with me, but I can't leave it behind either. I quickly took out the Sim card, and broke it into half. The next thing I grabbed was a hair brush- even if I can't clean every single one of my hair in this house, the least I can do is to grab my hair brush and make the work of collecting my DNA a longer process for them.

I was almost done. I grabbed a few fruits and shoved them in my backpack. It's almost afternoon and I didn't even had my lunch. It's not like I am hungry- I have gotten used to starving ever since I started to live on my own. But I need food to restore my energy.

Speaking of which, I have to leave- right now. And I absolutely CANNOT use the main road, they are probably looking for me by now, given the fact SHIELD is the best secret agency in the world. Normally, I would teleport- but I can't. I was already exhausted from that run on the rooftop when I faced Hyperion, then I had to face Barton and teleport before he could stick an arrow in my ass. It takes me a lot of time to recover after teleporting once, given the fact I am malnourished. That means I have to take an alleyway and go hide somewhere before I go to Washington to find Inferno......

I left my home and went to an alley nearby. It was getting dark already. I sat behind a wall and tried to catch my breath. I need a hideout plan.....

I guess I have no other choice. I have to go to Inferno.

I sighed deeply as I remembered him. Inferno, a. k. a Dante Pertuz. Probably the only friend I have ever made.

Flashback

I was sitting under a tree in my school campus, with my lunch. As usual, no one was paying attention to me. I was looking at other kids.

I wished I had a friend as well.....

Suddenly someone patted my head. I jumped, slightly scared. I looked behind me, and found a raven haired boy standing with his lunch.

" May I sit beside you? " He asked, in a gentle tone. I nodded, surprised because no one ever talked to me at school.

He sat down and and we both ate our lunch. There was a comfortable silence between us, which was odd because I am a socially awkward person. But something about his was just different. He had a calm aura around him, and his eyes looked sad. Maybe, he doesn't have any friend, just like me......

" You are right. I don't have any friend." He calmly replied, and I froze. How could he say what I was thinking? Is he a ......

" A telepath. " He confirmed.
My eyes widened, that means he knows about my abilities?

"Yes." He said, again.

I sat in utter shock. I have finally found someone just like me? Then that means we can be.....

"Friends. Yes, that's exactly why I am here."

I didn't know how to respond. Then I felt the waves of happiness surging through me. I am not alone anymore!

We stayed like that together for just one year. I taught him marshall arts, and he taught me how to control my powers. We stood up for each other while getting bullied. We had a lot of things in common, like we were both the hated child of our family. Then suddenly one day, he had to move to Washington. We promised to work together in future and protect those who can't protect themselves.

End of flashback

It has been four years after that. I hope Dante hasn't forgotten me; I really don't have anywhere else to stay right now.

Suddenly I saw a bunch of black car come storming on the street. They flew past my hideout and went towards my house.

Shit.

Edited A/n
Infarno: another character from marvel's Avengers assemble show. He is a inhuman, who is capable of controlling fire. I am well aware that he doesn't have telepathy, but in this story he will have it, along with a few other powers. He will be partners with my OC, kinda like hawkeye and black widow.

Also, I am tremendously sorry for the late update!
I got caught up in homework and I  didn't exactly have an idea for the plot either..... I hope you don't mind......
Bye~
