Separated by My Future
Chapter 1
A/N: I do not own any of the Marvel characters.
This is my first story so I would love to know what you guys think!
A scream ripped through my lungs as I sat bolt upright in my bed. My breathing was heavy and I was covered in a cold sweat.
"Miss Lahna, are you okay? Was it another nightmare" The AI asked.
"Yes it was another one JARVIS, I'm alright though, thanks for asking." I replied.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
"No thanks JARVIS I'm okay."
I crawled out of bed and looked in the mirror. My brown hair was all matted and stuck to my face, I decided it would be good to go for a shower. I stripped from my clothes and headed into the shower. I let the warm water stream across my face. I washed my hair using my favourite shampoo and got changed into some comfy leggings and a t-shirt.
"JARVIS?" I said.
"Yes Miss Lahna" The AI replied.
"Where is Bruce?"
"In the lab Miss Lahna"
"Thank you JARVIS"
I headed out of my room and padded down the corridor to the elevator and asked JARVIS to take me to the lab. I knocked on the door and heard Bruce say come in.
I stepped inside and went over to where Bruce was working.
"Oh hey Lahna. Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine, it was just another nightmare" I replied. Ever since my parents died I had nightmares most nights about them. So far I had only the courage to tell Bruce. Tears pricked my eyes as I began to think of the night it happened.
I was 7, the rain was pouring heavily and my parents where driving me to my grandparents for the night while they went out for their anniversary dinner. The car was silent apart from the radio which was blaring some horrible 90's tunes. That's when it happened. The car skidded and crashed into a lorry that had been coming from the other way. I blacked out.
I awoke in the hospital. The room was small but it had all the necessaries. I looked round hoping to see my parents but no one was with me, by then the nurse knew I had woken up and came to talk to me, I asked about my parents and she told me they were dead. They had been killed in the car crash.
Bruce came over and let me bury my head in his jumper while I cried. About a quarter of an hour later I had stopped crying and sat with Bruce.
"You know you should really get some sleep it is only 4am!" Bruce said.
"Yeah I suppose, But Bruce do you think you could stay with me for a bit just until I fall asleep?"
"Yeah, sure".
He carried me back to my room bridal style and laid me on my bed. He stroked my hair until I fell asleep.
