(Takes place during the 1st avengers movie)
Andromeda's pov :Holy shit. How the hell did this happen? Like mate this cant actually be happening right?
You're probably wondering what the hell I'm on about, well , basically my parents decided to finally take us on holiday to the USA after years of asking right
, we aren't very well off so I understand the predicament of finance and savings, but aside from that we thought 'oh great new york lets go' and now we are here. Forgot to mention I'm British , from the south to be precise, so America is mad to me since i grew up with a shite prime minister and fields of manure filling my nostrils , its a bit of a bloody big change to come to some big city since the biggest city I've seen is london. But i haven't really pointed out the elephant in the room, i was NOT informed that America has massive flying alien things, like bro, what the hell is this mad whale thing flying through the sky we do definitely not have this in England.Humouring this situation is really not a good idea considering im about to be fucking speared in the chest by some mad looking lads who keep falling from the sky , quite frankly . I'm terrified. My knees buckled and my nostrils flared with anxiety, cold sweat dripping from my forehead as my skin was gradually paling . I wanted to run , i wanted to do something, anything, but my accelerated breathing and agonising fear evidently brought on a panic attack, this really aint it chief , my parents were dragging me like a rag-doll down the dystopian streets that have been annihilated by these , these monsters. I don't know how much time had passed before i was shoved behind the body of a car with the heat of my parents bodies suffocating me as screams and cries were heard. I made out a distant figure of a man? Or was it another creature i wasn't quite sure , he had a blue suit ,the I realised that was in fact a man , quite tacky suit idea if i might add, fighting off these ambiguous species.
As a 7 year old I clearly did not swear this much but this is just a reminiscence of what trauma has decided to poke at my mediocre lifestyle, id appreciate if it pissed off but we cant always get what we want can we? So i sat back into my cradled position in my mothers arms as the weight behind us seemed to be lifted . Oh my fucking god theres a big green man holding the car what the hell, no like actually what the hell. The only man I've seen like that is the green giant on that peas advert is this him? Obviously not andromeda are you stupid , he was also helping the strangely dressed man so i guess thats ok? Yeah everything is ok, everything is fine ill just close my eyes and it will be fine right?please? , no of course not because this is real life. No matter how many times my eyelids slam shut it wont change the fact I'm in mortal danger. Im overthinking yet again, too busy in my own mind to realise that my mums grip had weakened and resulted in me falling from her arms, um excuse me mate what are you doing , well she along with my dad are lying down, what are they doing! They need to get up i need to help them but my stubby legs are so damn useless , they were passed out from clear exhaustion , my eyes studied them , their hair to their shoes I memorised each detail as if this was the last time id see them , no it couldn't be the last time they promised they'd watch me grow up, get a job ,a house and I promised to pay them back everything they done for me I can't let them go this easily because i love them.
But them amidst the screams there was a large clanking of metal and an explosion of orange flames of fury throughout the main street, the large creature that roamed the skies had been brought down by the green giant ,
While the team of supposed superheroes were safe they failed to realise that the leftover metal from this beast had been scattered , specifically it decided to load its weight onto my knocked out parents backs. Im sorry but what kind of twisted coincidence is it that MY parents are the ones who get hit, the only people who have loved me my whole short life , brought me toast in the morning, gave me medicine when i was sick, forgave me for drawing on the walls , how is it that they deserve this? This sort of sick punishment of death? I refuse to accept it , their eyes flew open and bored into mine pleading for my safety and evacuation but i just stood, i stood and a sobbed at the shame of not being able to lift the dead weight on their backs , a hoarse voice filled my ears as it was my dad , he looked at me with the same eyes that i have , you could tell the love that filled those eyes were dying to get out as he desperately told me that it was going to be ok , that he loved me and him and my mum are so proud of me but I couldn't handle it I couldn't bare to face this alone , how would i get home? I cant swim yet i cant swim home , i have no money they cant leave me here , "please, please don't leave me alone" i begged but he cried and his ever growing weak voiced faded as he let out a last "i love you Andi" , the nickname he gave me with his dying breath lingered as i finally dropped to the floor in melancholy .
The dust around me picked up as my gaze heightened on a male in a suit , a suit of iron, his helmet retracted and a hard face came into view , softening at the sight of the wreckage and where my parents lay tranquil. His eyes trailed to me as he slowly grew closer trying to calm me down with words that didn't reach my ears. I was busy , busy wondering about how this will effect everything, what will my cats back home do , i didn't even get a proper goodbye , all i have is the memories of their fluffy tails and rounded eyes , what about my friends? What are they going to do when they find out? Will they find out? My clear panicked state alerted the man as he picked up my figure, my desperate moves to wriggle out of his grip failed as i melted into the hold , i needed comfort , i needed somebody to hold just anyone, he carried my figure further away as my eyes grew heavier , "no! Stop! Take me back i need to bring them back."
"Kid" his hazy voice clawed at my ears but i payed no mind as my screams went on
"Kid!"
"ANDI!"My eyes flew open and my body jumped into a sitting position as sweat ran down my forehead , eyes darting around the room until it found the familiar figure
"Kid ive been shouting you for a while now" his voice grew concerned
"Was it the nightmares again?"
"Shut up tinman"
His straight face grew into a glare and he threw a pillow at me
"ACK"
"You deserve it , breakfast is on the counter ,hurry up you lazy ass"
"Shut up you fucking melon" i said as he left the room
"Language!" He shouted , yo hold on thats caps saying that swine , you thought.Jesus how do i feel like a 30 year old in this 15 year old body , my joints are cracking like that fucking cereal, what is it ? Snap crackle and pop , yeah that one. Whatever time for another day in the 'avenger' house with some middle age superheroes on meth.
As Andromeda Stark now.
