"What do you mean she isn't a threat? You spent 2 minutes with her!" Natasha exclaimed in a soft tone as she followed close to Fury in the halls of their base.
"I mean that she is harmless. The girl barely has a clue about where she is. I doubt she could be any danger and if she doesn't know our planet then neither will her enemies."
"I find it hard to believe that you can trust her so easily," Natasha said as the pair walked into the observatory where the rest sat.
"She's a warrior, fighting to save what could be billions of people of many different species. If you don't consider that a hero then what do you?" Steve asked giving Natasha a look of warning.
Natasha nodded back in understanding, and Tony took the time to stand.
"Well, I'm going to go make an introduction. She deserves at least one friendly face."
The group watched as he strutted out of the room some partially interested in what he might get out of her.
OOOOOOOOOO
"Hello, my name is-"
"Tony Stark." The man stopped in surprise. "You have an incredible mind, Mr. Stark," Niobe said, smiling at the genius to her left.

"How did you...?"
"Oh forgive me. While some might claim it's my Jedi abilities I've always explained it as a gift from my species. We can go further into a mind by simply sensing the presence of the individual."
"That must come in handy."
"No, in fact, I do not use it around my friends, and it ends up dulling these talents that Jedi do naturally. I try to work alone but I can't always." Niobe said "Why do your friends hide? Do they not wish to speak to me as well? I know they're curious."
Tony glanced at the two-way mirror and shrugged.
"Perhaps they're intimidated. Very few aliens have been kind to us."
"Why do you not communicate with your neighboring planets?"
Tony walked to the chair by her bed.
"Well, we try but we're a little weaker than the others out there. It makes us an easy target."
Niobe nodded in understanding as he sat down.
"So I hear you're lost?"
"Indeed I am, it is most unfortunate. My galaxy is dying, and I fear that I am too far to help." She said sitting up fighting Tony's efforts to keep her down. "I feel my brothers and sisters pain. Their deaths become my own and here I sit in comfort."
The pain in both her mind and chest grew. The Force was tearing. Everything was becoming unbalanced.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"My people, the Jedi, have a connection that allows us to sense one another. There is so much pain..."

"Can you tell if anyone is alive?" Tony asked taking a seat beside her bed.
Niobe frowned and let her eyes fall on the grey floor. Shutting her eyelids, she opened her mind and sought out Anakin. Planet after planet, her mind dug into the souls on the surface.
Tony waited in long silence before the girl let out a haunting shriek. He jerked from his seat. Heart racing as he stepped away. Niobe dropped to Tony's feet, the white of her eyes gone black.
"MY LEGS! WHERE ARE MY LEGS?!"
Tony, in panic, attempted to hold the shaking woman down while his companions ran to his side. He looked to the two-way mirror.
"I-I can't...breathe!" She gasped her lungs on fire. "An...akin..please..."
Tony watched in horror as her face twisted in agony, crying out for what he thought might be a friend. He watched her drop. His arms caught her before she collided with the harsh marble floor. Niobe's body jerked in pain. Tony shouted for medical assistance. He lifted her up, a chill moving through him as he saw tears along her face.
OOOOOOOOOO
"That was weird," Tony said, as he removed his hands from the unconscious woman.
"It was like she was experiencing someone else's memories or experiences maybe?" Banner suggested running a hand through his hair.
Fury nodded and concluded that they needed to find out who this 'Anakin' is. Steve felt himself longing to know more. The avengers stood in a cloud of confusion and concern. The strange alien had become someone they cared for.
"Is Thor aware of the situation?" Natasha asked.
"Yes, we contacted him a few days ago and he informed us he would be here soon." Banner said, adjusting his glasses and looking back at Niobe.
