Disclaimer: This is a new idea that I decided to write along side my other projects. It's kind of like Torn Dimensions, but not really. I really hope you guys like it. Thanks and Please Review!
Chapter One – Where Am I?
Usually Mondays are boring. Students have to go back to school, adults have to go back to work, and everyone just feels tired.
But this Monday, a late morning in September, was anything but.
I was playing cards with Natasha in the common room, both looking incredibly bored, Tony was fidgeting with his watch, his body sitting sideways and his legs hanging off the side of the chair, Steve was looking out the central window with a blank expression, and Thor and Bruce were who knows where.
I had just laid down a three of clubs on the table, forgetting what exactly what they were playing, when he sat upright. The disturbance was enough to catch Steve's attention as he zipped back to reality. Tony didn't bother to look up.
I turned his head to the side and asked, "Does anybody hear that?"
Tony finally looked away from his tiny project and announced, "Nope," then went back to his watch.
Natasha leaned forward, "What is it Clint?"
Steve squinted at me, as if trying to read my mind.
"It's like a high pitch ding. Almost as if someone is screaming." I was about to say more when he was suddenly pushed back in my chair.
It was so unexpected. From thin air, a girl had appeared, sitting square in my lap. She looked extremely confused as to where she was. Then she rolled and fell on the floor with a slight squeal.
When her head finally popped up, I could make out its features.
Her long hair was half white and half black parted straight down the scalp. One side was tucked behind her ear revealing her multicolored brown and blue eyes. They darted around the room, taking in every surrounding.
She had a small band of freckles on her nose that seemed out of place. Her teal V-neck was tattered on she shoulders, and there was a tear leading down to her blue jeans tucked inside a pair of black boots. A single silver chain was around her neck with no pendant.
The girl was breathing heavily, but she eventually said, "Clint, you know I hate sitting in your lap."
No one said a word after that. My mouth was gaping open as well as Tony's, but in a more over the top fashion. Natasha sat wide-eyed. Steve raised his shield in defense and had just begun to slightly lower it.
Then the girl raised her voice. "Oh my gosh! Why are you just sitting here? The tower is being attacked! What are you doing?"
Steve and Tony both jumped up. I closed my mouth and grabbed my bow at the word "attacked".
"What? Where? Who's attacking?" Steve asked frantically.
"You mean you don't know?" The girl asked standing up. Judging by her height she had to be at least 17.
"Know what?" Natasha asked.
The girl put her head in her hands and started to pace. "So that means the glowing blue thing must have been a portal. That trickster!" She muttered to herself.
"What is going on here?" I demanded lowering my bow.
The girl lifted her head. "Don't you remember? Gosh, I really hope I didn't get sent back in time again!"
She looked around and examined our confused faces.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. This must be extremely confusing. I should take it slower, shouldn't I?"
Each of us nodded.
The mysterious girl seemed to be jumping all over the place with her explanation. Before she could start she said one thing.
"Before I start, could one of you please help me?" She held up her hand. Imbedded in her palm was a glowing blue fragment of a material similar to glass. The fragment glowed bright blue, almost blinding me, and then the girl fell to the floor once more.
So we are off to a confusing start. I know this wasn't one of the options on my poll, but I just had the idea and I thought I should write it before I forget it. Please vote on my poll and don't forget to Review! Thanks!
