"Guys we gotta hurry up!"
"WAIT WHERE'S MELISSA?!"
"I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA BUT I'M 95% SURE SHE'S FINE!"
"SHE FLEW OUT THE FUCKING WINDOW!"
"REASON WHY I SAID 95% RACHEL!"
Hi I'm Amelia, and you're probably wondering why I'm running down a hallway with a pistol, bleeding arm, a panicking bestfriend talking over an earpiece and another that flew out a window, it was just my lucky day. But how the hell did this shit happen? Well, we'll just have to look back to the beginning...
-A while back-
-AMELIA's POV-
"Amelia do you really think it was a good idea to bring your prototype to our cram session?"
Probably...
"Calm down Melissa, it's gonna be fine, I just have to do some tinkering here and there then I'll start studying."
"I doubt that you're even gonna start, you'll most likely start studying the day before the exams."
"Ahh you know me so well~" I said sarcastically.
My two best friends and I were currently in the grey walled basement of our public university that we studied at. How did we get in the basement? Well that's a whole other story that involved me, a 5,5 pale-ish, short haired brunette 21 year-old with light brown eyes, begging the 70 year-old university headmaster to use it for studying -cough-experiments-cough- but here we were.
The basement was filled with multiple old science tables, like the ones you'd get in middle school and other old things like chairs and etc.
I was standing beside one of the tables with my medium sized, experiment..prototype...thing.. Honestly I don't know, one day I just got a sudden idea and bam infront of me is something that looks like it kinda came out of an Iron man movie. It was a medium circle sized pad (in which resembled a helicopter landing pad) that had 2 curved poles on the sides that lifted and held a round metalic piece large enough to at least put your hand in and a small frask that connected to it.
"Hey Rachel throw me the screwdriver please."
"Gotchu."
I turned around from my project, thinking she would pass it to me but then in time to saw a screwdriver fly past my face.
" Um WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!"
"You said throw."
I crouched to grab it "Wow, thanks, you should've done that before exams."
"Does it look like I have money to pay your hospital bills?"
"Maybe.."
Seriously, we're just poor students trying to pay for our education and living expenses so I gotta find another way to make some profit.
I screwed in the last bolts needed to hold the poles to the pad.
"Hey Amelia, don't you have 5 exams to study for and why do you still have your lab coat on?"
I took off my goggles and put them on the top of my head then turned to look at my dear Italian friend Melissa. She had cream colored skin with dirty blonde long hair and grey eyes. But from the top of my head, I was sure she was around 5,0. Yeah, I know, pretty small for a 19 year old. The girl graduated last year from high school and I'm sure it's pretty shocking that she's already in Uni but doing dual enrollment during her high school years helped her a lot so it wasn't such a big shock that she was was a real smart person. It wasn't just her that was smart, it was basically all 3 of us, not trying to be narcissistic here.
But I met her through a friend back when she was a freshman and I was a junior. We had the same art class and bonded over Marvel movies, then that same year, we met our friend Rachel, the one that had thrown the screwdriver to my head (thank god she didn't hit it though). We actually all ended up bonding over Marvel movies. But then I graduated that same year (dont ask, I managed to graduate at 17 with all the blood, sweat, and tears I had) even after that bond ended up lasting a long time to now.
"I had lab just before this and plus I feel like a crazy fashion model." I made a pose and she laughed "Righttt.." I shook my head "Plus I want to finish working on this so might as well act like a mad scientist when I can!"
"Bro honestly, I'm pretty sure you're this world's last choice as mad scientist but instead of your big ass company like Stark Industries," Rachel made a pose with her arm out, looking like she was advertising "You got a shitty job at a library and run down apartment."
"Wow I'm deeply offended," I said "I'm just as ready to quit that job and go back to people paying me to hack. But hey, I'm not complaining, besides I'm busy taking all these majors fam."
"Bitch you chose 4 majors and 3 minors at once, who does that?"
"Says the one who chose 6 of them"
I turned to Rachel who was sitting at the one of the old science tables. She was a half russian, pale, ginger straight haired girl with hazel eyes. She was let's say around 5,4 so she was a kinda normal height height for her age in which was 22, meaning she's the oldest out of the group.
Anyways, she sat in a old black science table next to Melissa, books scattered and stacked on the table in front of them. Some of the books titled "Physics", "Biomedical Engineering", "Linguistics", and more. Next to me were my unopened textbooks that read "Nuclear Engineering", "Computer Science", "Computer Engineering", and "Chemical Engineering". Why do I have so many textbooks? Probably because I like to keep myself busy when it comes to school. I was aiming to be a professional in a lot of stuff since I didn't know what to actually have a career in, so here I am.
Rachel shook her head "Just finish your shit so we can start studying." I smiled "On it~" I turned back to the small prototype I built and checked everything.
Alright all the bolts are in, and the flask is intact. But there was something I was forgetting on the top of my head. "You're forgetting the cords Amelia, the cords." Said Melissa who was fixing the black jacket she had on. I put my hand up and made the "okay" gesture "Thank you thank you." I walked over to my brown messenger bag that was sitting next to the textbooks and took out multiple black and red cords that I began to plug into the sides of the contraption. Yeah, they were old with multiple rips in the rubber covering it, exposing the wires on the inside but they were still durable. "Alright now all I need is one more thing." I crouched down to open a cabinet and grabbed a steel box.
I stood back up and put it down carefully "Alright guys, this is gonna be kinda dangerous...but I got it." I put on some rubber gloves and put my goggles back on.
"Amelia what the fuck is that?" I turned to the two and put my finger up to my lips.
"Amelia don't tell me you..." I smiled "Calm down Rachel, I got permission from one of the professors to use this,"
"It depends what professor... Professor McHuegan?"
I nodded "Crazy old man knows what I'm usually up to.."
I opened box to reveal another flask that was shut tight "This time it's liquid Curium."
"Curium?" Melissa asked.
"Curium is used usually in nuclear reactors, but very small amounts of it Melissa."
Melissa shook her head "Do you really think this is a good idea Amelia?"
Rachel chuckled "Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk."
I sighed "That's the 3rd Iron man quote today, looks like I owe you 5 bucks."
Rachel laughed "Damn right!"
I opened the flask with the silver chemical in it "Okay, let's hope this doesn't get out of hand, all I have to do is pour in a very small amount then I'm done.." I slowly began to pour the element into the other flask next to the pad. When I was doing this, I didn't notice the circled part of the top flicker a shade of purple. I was almost done filling it until suddenly there was something that sounded like an explosion coming from the other side of the wall that made all of us jump and making me accidently drop the flask onto the wires "FUCK!"
I jumped back before it had the chance to spill onto my shoes. At the same time the electricity suddenly cutting off, leaving us in total darkness besides the random purple flickering the project was doing.
"sHIT SHIT SHIT!" I took my gloves and goggles off then threw them somewhere beside me
"Guys I think we have to stand back.."
Rachel turned on the flashlight from her phone then pulled my shoulder back so I was standing next to Melissa
"Andd that obviously didn't work."
I frowned, I was pretty fucking pissed, not about the experiment but about the damn explosion that messed the whole procedure. WHICH would have worked.
"I'm such a damn dumbass, I forgot to do a whole checkup before I started...What the hell exploded?" I turned to face the both of them in deep thought. Melissa looked to me "The school's electricity boxes are in the room next to us right? If you said that element could power a nuclear reactor, when Amelia plugged in the cords, it most likely cooked the boxes, making them you know," She looked at the prototype that was beginning to create some type of portal thing in the middle "Explode."
Rachel turned her head to look at what Melissa was staring at "Is it suppose to do that?" I raised my eyebrow "What do you mean?"
I looked at where they were staring at, the damned project I was working on was shaking, a purple vortex looking thing was in the middle of the circled piece, which actually reminded me of the game Portal 2 or something.
Okay, okay, I'm sure that it's harmless... Unless the element used made the pad turn into a plasma cutter, then it'd be something like Dead Space.
So I'm kinda fucked.
But how would I know if I didn't do something? As I cautiously took steps forward ready to pull the cords out to shut it off from getting enough power, the prototype suddenly started to do something I really never thought it'd do. Just like a black hole, it started to suck things in. I quickly stumbled back to the girls.
"OKAY SO THAT JUST HAPPENED!"
"YEAH NO SHIT SHERLOCK!"
"GUYS LOOK OUT!" Melissa pointed to some plastic chairs flying towards us from behind, and in time we ducked as fast as we could. As the chairs disappeared into the vortex, we stood back up. "So what the hell are we gonna do guys!?" Melissa said, a worried expression on her face.
Rachel looked to the vortex "Where does it even lead to?!"
I stared at it in disbelief "I have no idea but I hope that it leads t-FUCK!" Suddenly a table from behind us slammed into our backs and with it being pulled to the vortex, we were with it. We screamed in terror as the vortex drew closer.
"GUYS IF WE DIE, I LOVE YOU ALL!" I screamed over the noise of things flying around, "SHUT UP AMELIA DON'T SAY THAT!" Rachel yelled back, "GUYS, GUYS, GUYS, LOOK OUT!" Melissa screamed. I quickly shut my eyes as we were sucked in.
Suddenly, I felt a strong rush of air hit me like I was free falling. That was until I opened my eyes and saw that we WERE free-falling in the sky, I looked down to see land, a forest and a building in the middle of it in a clearing. "AMELIA!" I looked up to see Melissa struggling to keep her body straight, making her fall more faster.
"MELISSA!" I tried to reach for her but that really just made me fall a bit faster "FUCK!" I spun myself and looked around "WHERE'S RACHEL?!" I looked back to Melissa.
"I DON'T KNOW! SHE WAS NEXT TO ME ONE SECOND AND DISAPPEARED THE NEXT!"
"WHAT?!"
"AMELIA ARE WE GONNA DIE!?"
"I SURE HOPE NOT!"
I looked back down to see that we were very close to the ground "OH GOD!" .
I braced myself as the ground came very close, it was until I felt the grass and a weird kick in my gut. I was too terrified to open my eyes until I heard my last name get called from a distance.
"Reyes! Reyes! Are you al-" The voice stopped. I slowly opened my eyes not wanting to see where my body parts were scattered, but came face to face with Rachel and Melissa. "A-am I still alive?" Rachel shook her head "Well your hands are on fire so..Sure you are?"
My eyes widened "WAIT WHAT!?" I brought my hands up to my face to see them engulfed in red and orange flames. I stood up as fast as I could, panic setting in as I waved them around, trying to stop the flame.
'Wait wait wait! Amelia, does it hurt?"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN DOES IT HURT, MY HANDS ARE ON FIRE!"
"NO NO, AMELIA I MEAN DOES IT HURT?"
It took me a few seconds to stop and blink in realization "N-no, not at all.." Looking down to my hands, I waved them around "This is wild! Guys I think I may be the next Human Torch yo." I realized my lab coat wasn't on me anymore, burn marks on my long sleeved navy shirt and blue jeans. I patted dirt off myself from the landing.
I then looked to the two "How did you guys get down?" Rachel rubbed her head "Honestly, I have no idea, I was next to Melissa one second in the air and then when I blinked, I was laying on the ground." Rachel did a look over of herself. No stains on her green turtle neck and black jeans but her hair was kinda messed up with her mini sky fall.
"Yoo Rachel I think you teleported." I said in disbelief, she nodded "I think so too." I saw her face change in deep thought when she turned to Melissa "Hey Melissa, how did you get down here?" Melissa fixed her light purple striped sweater she wore and patted down her blonde hair "Well, like Amelia, I crashed straight into the ground but instead of burning the dirt and grass," She pointed to where I laid a few moments ago, the grass scorched black that made an outline of my body "I ended up creating some kind of barrier for myself." I raised my eyebrow "So kinda like Violet from The Incredibles?" She nodded "Just like that, but I did feel when I slammed down to the ground, so I'm guessing the barrier just kinda cushioned my fall." I put my fingers under my chin, in a thinking pose "Soo we all have some kind of power, but I'm clueless of how we got them.."
"Can it be related to where we are?"
Melissa looked around "So where the hell are we?" I took a deep breath and looked at my hands, seeing the flame slowly die and disappear.
Rachel pointed to the large building "Hey guys, you know what that reminds me of? The S.H.I.E.L.D training facility from one of the Avengers movies." I looked to where she pointed to. "You know, you're not wrong.." I looked to the ground around us "Oh hey, look, the portal ate some of our stuff." I crouched down and grabbed my mp3 player "At least this survived." I looked up to the sky to see no sign of any portal "Well the vortex portal thing died off.."
"Hey look!" I turned to Melissa who was pointing at some gate on the building wall open. A bunch of people in black running out towards us "Oh fuck."
They had multiple guns up and pointed on us, multiple yells of "Put your hands up!" rang throughout the whole clearing. We looked at each other, not wanting any trouble, we put our hands up. They surrounded us, guns still pointed. My eyes widened when I caught sight of the word 'S.H.I.E.L.D' on all of their jackets.
"So, how the hell did you three get in here?" Said a voice coming behind from the ring of agents. Then low and behold came a person we'd never think to see in real life besides in the Avengers movie series, Mr. Nick Fury.
