A Stranger In A Strange Land
8 parts Complete MatureAbriel is the only survivor of a universe destroyed by a despot as bad as, if not worse than, Thanos. Once human with some empathic abilities, she has found herself not only a refugee in another universe that's similar yet also different from her own, but also possessed of strange new powers along with a great deal of mental instability. She has violent PTSD flashbacks and panic attacks that cause the Avengers to treat her with a good degree of wariness. Abriel is tired of their charity and sick of being treated with kid gloves but given her triggers she wonders if it is what she needs.
One individual believes he knows what she needs. He wants her the moment he lays eyes on her and decides what she needs is someone who will tame her rather than allow her to continue self-destructing. His motivations are not altogether altruistic, and he is honest about that from the very start. But he also knows Abriel is far from ready for what he truly wants to offer her. That's okay with him, for he has had centuries to develop patience and he is willing to wait years if not centuries to claim her the way he wants to.
