Hello my fellow writers and readers,
A little Authors note here! I have written several chapters of this story already, But I am only planning on posting one once a week. The reason why is because I have school to deal with, and a new job to fit into my schedule. I would like to say thank you in advance for reading my story, and I hope that you like it. Feel free to leave reviews and tell me what you think. I enjoy reading what people think, and could use some ideas if they are thought of. No I do not own Avengers or any of Marvels Characters. If I did I wouldn't have had Pietro die in the second Avengers (tear).
Thank you and Enjoy
Scmax
"Professor Xavier are you in here?" I ask peeking into his office.
I wait in silence for a few seconds before opening the door wider and slipping inside. I haven't played this game since for a couple of months, since power has gotten stronger. Standing in the middle of the room, I closed my eyes and opened my senses. The room was empty of emotions, but I could feel the residue of the emotions that were in the room. This was new to me and surprised me but made me happy too. I couldn't wait to find the Professor and tell him.
An advancement to my empathy power made me run out of the room in excitement and search for the Professor somewhere in the school. I followed my senses till I found the Professors emotions and followed them to the cafeteria. I ran into the room forgetting about it being full and straight over to Professor Xavier and the other Professors at the school.
"Professor Xavier, Professor Xavier!" I squealed running over to his table.
"Miss Elissa, calm yourself." Professor Scott says smiling at me softly.
I smile back at him and take a minute to catch my breath and calm down enough to tell the Professor my good news. Professor Xavier waits patiently until I look up ready to tell him about my discovery.
"My empathy power has advanced!" I squeal jumping and clapping my hands.
"That's wonderful Elissa. What did you notice has changed?" Professor asks.
"Well I was looking for you in your office and thought you were playing that game with me. But when I sensed the room I could only feel the residual emotions in the room." I say bouncing on my feet.
"That is good dear. Soon you will be able to read emotional imprints left in the environment and objects." Professor Xavier tells me.
"Oh wow."
My eyes grow wide in wonder and I leave the cafeteria drifting away in my thoughts.
"Hey Elissa your brother is here!" Professor Storm called out.
I was in the kitchen at the current moment cutting up some fruit for a snack when Professor Storm called out to me. That's when I discovered a separate ability from my empathy ability. I got excited and forgot what I was doing and ended up slicing my finger open. I hollered out in pain and had my big brother and my favorite Professor running into the room. My brother stood there in shock and Professor Storm dove into action. She pulled me over to the sink as I stood there numb with shock. My hand was covered in blood and the pain was had me whimpering. Once Professor Storm placed my hand under water the pain started to go away until it was completely gone. She pulled my hand out of the water to find no sign of a fresh cut on my finger, which was really fascinating to me. So much that I grabbed a knife and was about to cut my palm when my brother stopped me.
"What the hell are you doing Elissa?" He asks prying the knife from my hand.
"I was about to test a theory that just popped up." I say looking up at him innocently.
"You were about to slice your hand open." He points out.
Professor Storm takes the knife from my brother and puts a hand on his shoulder.
"I think her theory might prove to be correct, and if it is not. We have the best doctor here." Professor Storm says handing me back the knife.
Before my brother could say another word, I took the knife and cut my palm open. I held my hand out to them and we all waited for it to heal up.
"Huh… Oh I know." I say making the two of them jump.
I run over to the sink and turn on the water to place my hand underneath. When I couldn't feel the pain anymore I pulled my hand out to see no fresh cut again. I grab the knife, cut myself again, and walk over to the stove.
"Elissa, don't you dare." My brother warns glaring at me.
I look at Tony for a minute and stick my tongue out at him, before turning on the stove. I stuck my hand into the flames and waited till the pain was gone again. When I pulled it out the cut was gone, just like with the water.
"Elements, I can heal using the four elements. Possibly more, but I won't know for sure without more test." I say looking at my palm and ignoring Tony's look.
"Ma'am can I see your ticket please?" The flight attendant asks breaking me from my thoughts.
"Oh yes, Sorry." I say handing my plane ticket over.
"Thank you, we'll be arriving in an hour." She says handing my ticket back.
I thank her and slip my ticket back into my purse. Time to put on my music and relax until the plane lands. I'm not new to traveling by plane, I've just never been a fan of the landing or taking off part. I went back into my mind and blocked the emotions of the people on the plane.
"Elissa, are you sure you want to travel for that company? You don't know anything about them, except that they will bankroll your clinics." My big brother says worried about me.
"Yes, I want to do something good with my abilities and I know that they need help in other countries. Besides I read through the entire contract with a fine-tooth comb. You taught me well brother, you have no need to worry." I tell him rubbing his arm.
Tony takes a minute to think my plan over and finally gives his consent. I jump into his arms and give him a big hug.
"Ugh, how is it that are rolls are always switched. I'm your big brother. I should be reassuring you about traveling all over the world." Tony sighs resting his chin on my head.
"I know Tony, but I am the more sensible one. You couldn't hide your emotions from me if you tried." I chuckle squeezing him before pulling back.
"Yeah, I know. But you can change them to make me willing to let you go." Tony points out.
I gasped and put my hand up to my heart pretending to be hurt.
"I would never do that to you." I say acting shocked.
Tony eyes me skeptically and then we both crack up laughing remembering the time that I did use my empath power to get what I wanted.
The plane landed with a jolt and everyone started moving around and gathering up their stuff. I stayed in my seat and waited for everyone to disembark. When the isle was clear I got up, grabbed my purse and carry-on bag, and left the plane. This would be my second visit to Calcutta and I was glad to be back. This is the only place where I felt wanted and really needed by the people. Besides the weather was fantastic here and the food was delicious. Yes, I am a little weird and I wouldn't have it any other way. I guess you could say that I was like my brother without the playboy aspect of his personality. But enough about that, I am back home where I belong. Now I just need to find the person that's supposed to take me to my new home.
I fished my luggage off the carousal and walked over to the front doors to look for anyone familiar. I didn't see anyone that I knew, but there was someone standing there with my name on a card.
"Hello, I am Dr. Elissa." I say to the man holding the card.
"Ah Dr. Elissa, welcome. Did you have a safe flight?" He asks throwing the card away.
"It was nice, but it's not my preferred method of travel." I shrug.
"I apologize about that Dr. Elissa. Would you like to see the village now?" He asks looking out the doors.
"Yes please. I have missed Calcutta."
He grabs some of my bags and I grab the rest and follow him out to his jeep. We get in and he drives off to the village. The man points out several changes in the village, and asks if I would like to stop anywhere first. I tell him that I just want to get to my new home and get acquainted with the village again. The man nods and drives to the edge of the village where two bungalows sit on the outskirt of the village.
"They said that you requested to live outside of the village, but not too far away from the people. We have one other Doctor that lives beside you. He is quiet and spends most of his time working, so I doubt you will see him much." He says stopping in front of the newer bungalow.
"Is he a mission Doctor?" I ask curious.
"No, he just came here a couple of years ago, and the people started going to him for treatment when they heard he was a Doctor." He says unloading my luggage.
"Well that's good. I'm glad the people had someone to help after I left." I say grateful for this Doctor.
"Yes, well do you need any help bringing your luggage in?" He asks after getting everything out of the back.
"Oh, no thank you, I can handle the rest from here. One question though. Will I be working in the clinic with this other Doctor?" I ask wringing my hands.
"No ma'am your clinic is beside his. The Doctor knows about you, but he prefers to work alone." He says rubbing the back of his head.
"Okay, that sounds fine."
"Alright, well you have a fine day Dr. Elissa, and if you need anything just call my supervisor Director Fury. He will get you whatever you need." He hands me a car and starts to get back in his jeep.
"Wait what happened to Mr. Coulson?" I ask worried for him.
"He is away on an assignment right now and couldn't be here. Director Fury is his boss. The big Boss." He says starting the jeep.
I thank him and step aside next to my luggage. The man waves and leaves with a trail of dust billowing up behind the jeep. I sigh in comfort and look around at my surroundings. I'm finally home and I couldn't be happier about it. My brother didn't want me to come here again, but what can he do to stop a 33-year-old woman. Well he could do something as Ironman, but Tony wouldn't stoop that low just to keep me home with him. Besides this is where I belonged, I could always feel something pulling me here. Especially these past couple of years since I left. I turned away from the view and was about to step into my new home when something stopped me. An intense wave of anger came over me making me stumble in my steps. I knew this feeling wasn't coming from me and looked around to see a gorgeous man walking my way. He was about as tall as Tony, but more muscular. He wasn't walking my way though, instead he went into the house next to mine without a word. He must be the Doctor that man was telling me about. I wonder why he's so angry, man I haven't felt this intense of a feeling since I was a beginner in my empathic ability. This is going to be fun.
After I unpacked and went shopping, I cooked some food and went to bed feeling satisfied. Tomorrow would be a new day, and I couldn't wait to see the villagers again. I fell asleep that night still feeling some of the Doctors anger, but pushed it to the back of my mind to deal with in the morning.
