The water rushed past my face, but I feel my stomach tense and strong, full of air. The air passes gently out of my mouth as I glide through thr sea. I must be about fifty feet below sea level. Yet I am free, no pressure like a human would feel. And I've been under for five minutes. Just one of the perks of being a super human.
The Sun casts light on the dusky ocean floor, dancing lights. But the light that I was told I would find is nowhere to be seen. My keen eyes dart around and I am searching my heart. The connection to a stone of such immense power is unmistakable. Damn it! There is nothing. I force myself to stay calm. Calm. Calm will allow clear thoughts. And clear thoughts make for effective action.
It's just that I've been searching for more infinity stones like the Tesseract and the Mind Stone for months. Ever since the Battle of New York. All has come to nothing. But Thor warned me that they were out there. It is not the only apocalyptic threat hanging over my head.
I am jarred from my thoughts by an insistent vibration on my wrist. Since Sokovia, I've always had an I.D. device attached to my wrist. So if the Avengers need me, they can call. My eyes squint. When I read his name, my frustration immediately melts away: Steven Rogers - T, need you back at the base. Somethings happened. Please come as soon as possible.
I smile sadly. Dear Steve. He's like me. Craves the conflict, craves the purpose it brings. And as an inevitable case, conflict always arises. And I must stand when it does.
One powerful kick sends me soaring up towards the surface. It's time for Nightshade to go home.
