⎮Stark Tower- 1 Week Later

I was running. It was dark and there were endless hallways as I searched for my family. I needed to save them, if I didn't who would? I get to the end of the hallway and see a door, and I use my powers to kick it down. 

"Where is my family?" I growl, eyes glowing white as I get shot at. I turn the bullets back toward the masked man, allowing the bullets to hit him as he falls. "NOW WHERE IS MY FAMILY?" I yell.

"You won't find them in time." He says before he falls limp, I killed him. I run out of the room and focus my thoughts trying to find my family. I follow the connection and blast the door open, throwing the people around my family into the walls and knocking them out. Peter, Dad, and Steve were all on the wall, shackled. I put my hands up and blast the cuffs off, going to help my family stand. 

"Are you okay?" I ask my brother, helping him stand and trying to heal him with my powers. He coughs up blood and my healing isn't working. I start trying to freeze the injuries so that I can get to them later. 

"It's." Dad starts to say coughing. "Too late." He coughs out, eyes turning wide, no longer responding.

"You weren't quick enough kid," Steve says, falling limp as I rush over to help while holding Peter. 

"You were supposed to protect us, little sister," Peter says, going limp. I start freezing their bodies in hopes to save them as the door burst open, startling me. 


I shakily put my hand over my chest as my eyes shoot open from my latest nightmare that has been happening since my talk with Clint. I glance at the clock by my bed, sighing when the numbers read 5:00 AM. I get out of bed and pull my slipper boots on, before slipping one of Harry's sweatshirts over my head. I check my phone and see two text messages from Harry saying to have a good sleep that I hadn't read before bed, I lock my phone, grabbing my copy of 'Pride and Prejudice', and head out of my room, quietly going to the kitchen. The lights aren't on and there's no one around so I turn the lights on lowly, going to the coffee maker for a pot of coffee. 

"What are you doing up?" Steve says making me jump and turn around, staring at him wide-eyed. He looks over me, assessing my every move. "Are you okay?" He asks, glancing at the coffee cup in my hand.  

"I just woke up earlier and figured I'd get a head start on the day," I say quietly, giving the half-truth as I turn back to finish making my coffee. I quietly go over to the island and take a seat, watching as Steve slowly goes into the kitchen, having FRIDAY put his playlist on quietly as he takes out the ingredients for eggs. 

"Do you want some eggs sweetie?" He asks glancing at me. I shake my head with a small smile before opening my book and continuing to read for English class since I hadn't last night. "You need to eat something before you go to school, okay?" Steve says slightly sternly, sending me a warm smile. I nod, going back to my book, reading the rest of the chapter, and finishing my cup of coffee. I put my book down, and clean up after myself, putting my cup in the dishwasher.
