Hellooooo pretty lemons! Here is my first chapter upload onto so enjoy and please remember to tell me what you think! Thanks! 3 -LOTM
Sirens were on full blast as they whirled past me. I couldn't breathe...
Where WAS he?!
I turned around frantically, my eyes desperately searching for the young boy through the thick smoke, fires still burning all around me.
"TERRYN?! WHERE ARE YOU?!" My voice called out, still turning in circles. Tears were now falling down my cheeks as I looked over the burning city.
'Lennox! Get your ass out of there! NOW!' A scratchy voice commanded through my ear piece. I recognzed it as Fury's voice on the other end. I put my hand to my ear.
"I'm not leaving without my brother!" I replied, then ripped out the communication device, leaving it on the ground behind me as I sprinted off, looking for my beloved brother.
I would NOT leave him. I would never leave him. He was the only family I had left, and I would die before abandoning the little boy.
I had ran a few hundred feet before a crying sound alerted me, making me turn around. I squinted my eyes through the smoke and saw a figure huddled behind the wall of a burning building.
"LENNOX! SISSY!" It cried out and my heart nearly stopped.
"Terryn I'm coming!" I yelled back, and immediately moved towards the building. I could see him more clearly now and was about to reach him when a crumbling sound made me look up.
A burning banister had shifted and was threatening to fall on top of the both of us. I quickly turned back to look at my baby brother just as a loud crack sounded above me.
"SISSY!" I heard my brother scream as something hit my head. Then I fell to the ground in an unconscious heap as I plunged into the darkness.
I sat straight up in bed, panting heavily. It took me a moment to adjust before I realized that it had been a nightmare, one of the most recently accuring nightmares actually.
I sighed loudly as I sat farther up in my bed. My shirt was plastered to me in my own sweat and I wiped my forehead with my arm. A purring sound came from my left and I looked to see that I had awoken my cat.
"Sorry Frankie..." I said, rubbing the area behind his ears. He purred louder before settling back down to sleep. I watched him for a moment before getting up and walking over to my bathroom for a shower.
As I washed all of the grime off of my body, I allowed my mind to wander back to the nightmare. My chest immediately became full of pain as I remembered the failed attempt of saving my little Terryn. He had only been five years old. Today would have been his ninth birthday.
Dammit... I swore in my head. I was the oldest by ten years... I should've died. I should have saved him. But no... The universe had a cruel sense of humor, and it had decided to let me live in my brother's place.
He shouldn't have even been there. We had known that Loki and his army were going to attack, but we had still allowed him to come out with us for ice-cream, of all reasons.
No... I thought, shutting out the painful memories. I would not allow myself to go down that path again. Not after I had finally gotten out... Not after all the things I gave up just to have a some-what normal life again.
A few minutes later I shut off the water and clambered out of my bathroom, already dressed with my dark brown hair already combed out. I sat on the bed to put my socks on and for a moment looked up into the mirror across from me.
Abnormal dark purple eyes stared back at me, almost making me flinch. The color the serum had made my once dark blue eyes turn were now only an aggravating reminder of my past. I shook my head and forced myself to look away before standing up and walking into the kitchen for food, Frankie trailing right behind me.
I laughed at him as he meowed, impatiently waiting for his food.
"Alright Frank, here ya go..." I told him, bending down and filling his food bowl. He just sniffed at the air for a moment before turning and running into the living room. I looked after him.
What the h- I caught a familiar scent, one that I had hoped I would never have to deal with ever again after I left S.H.I.E.L.D. After I ran away.
I nearly hissed as I made my way into the room. I pushed past the door and stood against the frame as my eyes immediately adjusted to the dark. I easily spotted a shadowed figure sitting in one of the chairs, and I folded my arms.
"How did you find me, Nick?" I asked, almost growling out the question. The primitive side of me hated how easily he had entered our house. Our TERRITORY.
"Is that how you greet a friend?" He countered smugly, a sarcastic tone in his voice.
"I think you know I don't consider you a friend anymore. Now stop wasting my time and tell me what the hell it is that you want." I told him bluntly. I didn't have time to play his damn games. He thought about something for a moment, looking as though he were studying me. Finally, he spoke.
"It's time for you to come back, Lennox."
