1. Chapter 1

A/N: I haven't written anything in a good long while, but for now, I'm tinkering away on 2 ideas, and trying to reconfigure outlines for my previous WIPs that have kind of been left forgotten for some time, because honestly, I got burned out on writing altogether, plus my line of work took a lot out me, very stressful.

If there is any potential for triggers, they will be posted at the beginning of each chapter, so keep an eye out for those, as well as a summary so if you're not able to read a chapter due to the trigger warning, you can at least stay up to date without experiencing the chapter in full. Summaries will be up here after the disclaimer and at the bottom after the chapter, so you can take your pick.

If you have questions, or concerns, please PM me. Review if the mood strikes, and enjoy.

Asleep for thousands of years, she watched over earth and mortals, waiting for the day that the universe would erupt in chaos, and she was needed to protect this world.

The awakening came in the form of the Avengers fighting off the Chitauri, and a large, green monster with eyes drowning in pain.

She woke with a name and a face clear in her mind, and faded away from the lush, overgrown vines covering the ruins of her only home, that had kept her hidden from the world for so long...
