On the Brink of Life and Death
Prolouge
When I first heard that eerie sounds of the night air, a small shiver went through my body. It was my first night in this big and rather strange city. My parents died two years ago in the midst of the New York alien invasion. They were in New York for work and unfortunately, they were among the few that died that day. The Avengers worked hard to fight the aliens, but not every citizen was fortunate to escape with their life. My decision to move to the city where they died was closure. I was supposed to be with them that day. They forced me to stay home at the very last minute. Without them, I was faced with the fact that I had no one else. It seems that I've lost everyone I've loved.
Turning my room light on, I observe to find which of the many moving boxes in my room contained my CD's. But I found my clothes box and became entranced. My body felt mechanical as I began taking out each piece of clothing and placing them accordingly in my closet and drawers. This apartment felt smaller compared to the size of my parents house. Yet, then again, the house felt entirely too big without them. Only when I finished with my clothes did I find my box of CD's. Opening the box, I took out my CD player and one of my mix CD's. As I let the CD play on shuffle, I felt a little calmer but my apartment felt densely hot. Once I felt the chilly summer air breeze into my room, I welcomed the sound of sirens to my ears. Though they were distant, it took my mind off of my parents. Looking up at the New York sky, I saw no stars. The lights were shining too bright in the city to allow it.
Ever since the day the aliens tried and failed to invade our planet, things changed. I trained in fighting more harshly, I would let any alien try to kill, control, or enslave me without a fight. Turning my head to observe the city, I could see the Stark tower illuminated a few block from my apartment. But I immediately noticed something was glass in the up-most portions of the tower was shattered and a metal figure was retreating fast into the dark night. In my gut, I knew that whatever that thing was, was not Tony Stark and that it is very dangerous. Stepping away from the window, I glanced at my clock to see that it was 12:42am. Tomorrow is a big day for me. I'll just ask about what I saw when I report to my new job at S.H.E.I.L.D.
I will update this story weekly or every other week if possible. I am in school and I have a lot of work to do. So if I don't post a new chapter each week, don't panic. Sometimes I will post every two weeks...or three. Updating times will vary. Enjoy my rendition (fanfiction) of Avengers: Age of Ultron and feel free to leave reviews. Eventually will fall into Captain America: Civil War.
