Okay hope you like this first chapter!
Chapter one- Kidnap Attempt
Looking up at the huge building I had to admit, it was quite impressive. But it held no beauty to me, it was simply another hospital, another attempt to find out what was killing me.
An hour later I was sat on the edge of the white hospital bed looking at another doctor who was supposed to be one of the best. And he was telling me the same as all the others had.
"I'm so sorry Macey. I don't know what's killing you. I can't find anything wrong with your organs, cells, even your brain scans came back normal. Your blood samples came negative for cancer or any other terminal illness." Another disappointment. Leaving the hospital I thought about what my councillor had said to me, "Live now while you still can. Make a list of all the things you want to do before you die, and do them." Jenna had been a councillor, kind, genuine, unlike so many of the others who hadn't really cared about anything except their silly lives. Oh well, I thought to myself as I took out that list.
Maybe I should explain. My name is Macey Jones. I am terminally ill with an invisible disease. I've been to doctors all over the world and they've all said the same thing. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with me. Except the fact that I was slowly dying, of course. Most of my family ignored my existence, my brother was the exception to the rule. He told me once that the others ignored me because they didn't want to hurt when I died. Hard as it may seem, I understood there reasons. Looking at the list I saw that the first one was something do-able.
- Shop in New York
Very do-able, considering I was already in New York. So off I went, I didn't see anything worth buying though. And then I was in this huge square and people were crowding around to see something. I craned my head to get a better look. It was the Avengers, and somebody else. I knew who it was instantly from watching the news report on the Manhattan incident. Loki. Then they started fighting and everyone started running, but I hung back. I figured I wouldn't see many fight scenes like this one, specially seeing as I didn't have much of my life left. I leant against a building in the shadows and watched. It was quite cool actually, much better than the cinema. But then Loki caught sight of me, and smirked. Suddenly he was right in front of me staring me in the eye. Before I even thought about running he had me in a head lock and was backing away from the Avengers.
"I'm leaving now, try to stop me and I'll kill her." I could hear the smirk in his voice. Bastard. I wasn't really afraid of death, I'm pretty sure it showed in my face to 'cause the Avengers looked slightly puzzled at my lack of screaming. I didn't really think about what I was doing to be honest with you. I just sort of rammed my elbow in the Loki's stomach and whilst he was weakened by the shock I ran to the side so that the Avengers could get him.
When he was all handcuffed and muzzled they came up to me.
" Wow you have no fear." It was Iron Man who was talking, he looked quite impressed actually, they probably didn't get many damsels in distress who fought back. I shrugged.
" I'm not really afraid of death to be honest with you." They looked confused at that. Then the Black Widow said,
"Look, I'm afraid we're gonna have to bring you in, you need to be debriefed." She looked all apologetic. Then I realized they hadn't got the meaning behind my words. Hell I was up for being debriefed any day of the week, I'm pretty sure it was on my list. So I nodded and they took me to Stark Tower where a guy in an eye patch was waiting.
"I saw what happened out there. Your one brave person you know that?" He said, he sounded really genuine, but I didn't think what I had done was brave. It was just an action. A pretty stupid one too. I said as much.
"Look your gonna have to stay here for a while because there's no-one here to debrief you at the moment- what?" Hawkeye looked at my angry expression, puzzled. They didn't get that they were holding up my time.
"Look can I just go now 'cause I have some things I wanna do?"
"What's the rush? You got the rest of your li.." I lost it, I practically screeched at the guy.
"I'm dying! I have 3 weeks left to live! So if you don't mind I'd like to go now!" I turned to leave but Tony Stark spoke.
"Why didn't you get chemo?"
"Because I don't have cancer!"
"Then what do you have?" Hawkeye had chipped in.
"I don't know..." I would have carried on speaking but my legs suddenly gave way beneath me. I collapsed to the floor. I knew it was best not to try to stand up just yet, I did that once, I broke my ankle, extreme agony for an entire week. I wouldn't be getting up for a while.
"Oh my god are you okay?" There was an unfamiliar voice beside me and when I turned to look I saw it was guy with brown hair and brown eyes flecked with illuminous green. He was cute.
"Ummm yeah, I'll be fine but I can't get up for a minute or so."
"Why not?"
"Well it's part of my disease. Sometimes my legs just give way and if I try to stand up I'll break my ankle again."
"Oh." He looked at Tony, Hawkeye and Black Widow for any more information, but they were just as shocked as he was.
"Look I'm Bruce, this is Natasha, Clint and, well, I'm gonna guess you know who this guy is?" he was so sweet… oh my god! Snap out of it girl! But he's kinda gorgeous…. Oh I had fallen deep….
"Look you're gonna have to stay here for a while okay? I'm really sorry about this but you just have to okay?" Tony was looking sympathetic as he stood and left the room, followed by Clint and Natasha.
"Here let me take you to a room."
And with that he scooped me up and carried me out of the room and all I could think was, Oh my god he's strong! And then it hit me that the guy who was the Hulk was called Banner, Bruce Banner. And I didn't care.
Tell me what you think and anyway I could improve!
