"Sir there has been unindenitified object crashlanding a few miles outside of Manhattan." An agent reported as the one eyepatched was already pulling up the report.
"Why are we now just getting this, send out a special team to secure the area. I want to know what this thing is and where it came from." He commanded as a series of yes sirs followed as they prepared.
"Sir satellites couldn't pick up anything on this thing as they became scrambled and identified as another meteor entering the atmosphere." Another agent a noticed handing him images of a blurry object that could easily be mistaken as a meteorite.
"Let's hope so, we already have enough problems as it is. Move out, I want to see this out myself." He announced as they walked to the deployment teams.
"Sir should we also call in the other agents of shield such as Spiderman, Nova, Ironfist-"
"Not necessary, they have bigger things to worry about, I'll call them in if trully necessary until then don't tell them anything about this. We need to know what we're dealing with."
"So this is Earth huh? Funny I thought there would be more people around. Not that you guys aren't fun to be around." I cooed as I pet the squirrels running around me as I stared off in the distance where the escape pod crash landed a few miles away.
I need to distance myself more before this planets police appear, father said they are pretty scary here. Looking down at the squirrels they all seemed to squeak in alarm almost as if sensing something is wrong.
It didn't take much time to realize that there appeared to be incoming giant metal contractions in the air heading to the site of the crash. Looks like that's my cue to start running again, the squirrels began to squeak at me as I used telepathy to figure out what they wanted, apparently there was a better place to hide nearby.
Climbing to the top of a tree I looked around trying to look for what bright lights they described. Sure enough I spotted a bunch of lights flashing in the distance in what appeared to be a city.
"Is that where the humans are?" I asked as they all nodded before I quickly got down.
"Then I guess it's my next destination, thanks for the help!" I shouted before racing off through the trees before starting to run on foot once I was met with a street.
Streets were what people navigated on so surely if I followed it I'd be able to make it there. Just got to keep low for now and avoid detection, making my way down the road I had to dodge multiple metal wheeled contractions before secretly hitching a ride on one.
However I decided to get off once I reached what appeared to be a suburban neighborhood as I causally walked about. It was nighttime so no one was really out and their were street lights on so it helped guide me through much of the new territory.
Everything was relatively peaceful and silent until I heard a feminine voice scream before quickly running towards it. For a moment I thought someone was being assaulted until I came across a silver haired woman bending over to retrieve groceries that had broken through the bag.
To tried desperately to pick them up but somethings kept falling as she signed in frustration. Ok this is my first time interacting with a terrain, and we are located in the United States meaning she most likely spoke English, I can do this remember your training.
"Greetings and good day madam, do you need or require any assistance? You appear to be in quite a predicament." I respectfully asked bowing in greeting as she grew alarmed and alert before taking the site of me.
I wore the same attire that the priestesses wore at the temple so I imagine I look strange but hopefully she doesn't think of me as a threat. If I'm correct priests and nuns were the same attire here.
"Wow you certainly surprised me, thanks for helping me I don't live far from here. Usually my nephew Peter would grab things when he goes into the city but he's certainly busy at the moment." She stated kindly as I helped her by grabbing majority of her things as she escorted me to her house.
"It's no problem madam I don't really have anything to do at the current moment, besides I can't exactly leave you stranded in the middle of the night." I simply reply as we arrive at a simple two story house before she unlocks the front door.
Allowing me in she guided me to the kitchen before I set the groceries down on a counter as she began to put them away.
"Thank you so much for your help."
"It's no problem madam, but I'll get going now there still plenty of things I have to do. Have a pleasant night." I bowed before heading to the front door when I saw a few picture frames that peaked my interest.
But there was one that peaked my interest the most, it was more recent looking, it held images of five teenagers and the woman in the kitchen. It took place in the very room I stood and, although they all appeared to be occupied with their own little things, I could tell they were all happy.
Seemed like such a foreign topic to me but I knew that was what it was, I most have been staring for a while because the woman entered the room slightly surprised to see me here before realizing what I was looking at.
"Oh those are just me and Peter with some of his friends, he's currently out studying for exam with them for school." She explained as I turned to her with a smile.
"You have a very beautiful family I'd like you to know that, I can tell you make eachother very happy. You've done a great job raising them." I summarized as she was taken back by what I said slightly blushing from the complement as she tried to assure me she didn't do much and they were wonderful kids.
But reaching for her hands I cupped them with my own as I stared directly into her eyes, little did she know I was literally reading her soul like an open book.
"You are a strong and moving woman who has been through so much in her lifetime, but you've done all you can to assure the safer and also provide love for others near you. Even if there are seems to be imes you doubt yourself you always find the courage and never give up, you do everything you can for these kids, that madam is doing a lot." I explained to her before letting go and heading for the front door.
Right as I was about to shut the door behind me she called out to me before I stopped in my tracks.
"Wait how did you know that and who are you?" She asked confused as I paused for a moment to think before answering her with a smile still planted on my face.
"I'm Alma, and I tend to have a sixth sense when it comes to regarding people." I stated cheerfully before shutting the door.
Or more like I have a infinity stone encased in my body that allows me to do so extremely easily, I thought sarcastically as I knew I could never tell anyone about that matter.
It's something everyone at the temple devoted their lives to keeping a secret, besides it's not something you bring up in a conversation. Now first things first, I have to figure out my location, blend in, get a job, and keep a low profile until someone comes to get me.
It didn't take long until I reached the urban city which the newspapers called Manhattan, if I'm correct that was located in New York, the New England region of America. Funny I pictured seeing a lot more horses then these loud metal contractions that came in various colors and sizes.
Perhaps they have reached the industrial age, the information on earth was pretty outdated. Now the next thing to do is find more suitable clothes, judging by the way people are looking at me I do not appear to being a good job of blending in.
But I don't having any currency and I don't the merchants here would kindly give me clothes to wear, not without providing sme sort of service. Perhaps I should get a job first, it shouldn't be to hard I believe, I can handle just about anything physically speaking.
Turning into a dark alleyway I mentally complied a list of jobs that could fit the bill somewhat unaware of a pair of men creeping up on me until I reached a dead end. I turned around only to bump into them as they pulled out a metal pipe and pocket knife on me as I grew surprised but not alarmed, I've been trained to handle situations like this.
"Look sweet heart we don't want to hurt you much just hand over whatever money you got, and we'll let you go." The man with a pocketknife quickly briefed me but I saw he was lying as his heart rate increased and a look of lust came over him
"Sorry sir but I don't have any money, so please step aside I do not wish to harm you even if you wish to harm me." I stated as the man with the pipe pushed me against the wall.
"Then I guess you better provide us with some other service nun." He stated checking me out as a tick mark grew on my forehead, that's it.
Smiling politely the white of my eye turned black as the silver was replaced by a glowing green. The guys immediately backed away freaked out as I sensed their fear and anxiety spike up.
"Now here is what is going to happen. You're going to hand over your weapons and bags to me before I consume your souls, is that understood?" I asked as multiple voices spoke at once as I talked making things sound extremely sinister and creepy.
The men both nodded dropping their bags on the ground backing away and attempting to leave the alleyway.
"Oh wait one more thing..." I shouted at them as I returned to my normal self before grabbing hold of both their heads.
"I can't have you guys running around saying things about me so I'll just have to wipe our encounter from your minds. Goodnight!" I shouted happily as I successfully wiped their memories before they fell to the ground unconsious.
Going through their bags I went through the guys wallets receiving paper moneys and coins they used as currency here amounting to $76.80. Placing them in the hidden pocket of my gown I also pocketed the pocket knife just in case I get into a conflict that wouldn't require me to use my abilities as a last resort.
But heading to a thrift shop I bought a bag, tank top, large hoodie, blue jeans, and a pair of sneakers wasting about $45 as I placed my old attire in the bag. I wasted another $5 on eating a grilled chicken sandwich with a bottle of water, my next mission: Find a job!
I was surprised as I saw it was 10:49 and people were still out and the lights were still as bright as before. After an hour and four interviews I realized how shallow humans really were, sure I wasn't expecting much from diner restaurants but they expected me to provide a certain sexual service or favor.
Maybe I can go in the manual labor or the shipping business, I know I shouldn't turn to crimes despite what I did earlier but that was in self defense and need. I need to keep a low profile, become a part of the crowd and not draw any attention at all-
*Crash*
The sound of a collusion followed by screaming cut my off as I turned and headed in its general direction. What I was met with was surprising and gruesome site of those metals wheeled contractions, which apparently are called cars, crashed against one another.
A giant man rampaging threw these cars around shouting he was a Juggarnaut demanding for a rematch against "Spiderman" I think, did I hear that right? Whatever the case people were desperately trying to get out of the way as I let out an annoyed sign as I weighed my opinions.
I could either stop this man but blow my cover and most liking get arrested, become a test subject, and/or be tortured on affairs I don't know anything about. Or I could let this planets authority handle this and be on my merry way, it seemed pretty obvious what the best choice for me was but then something changed.
It happened in slow motion the gas from the cars ignited as pieces went flying everywhere and a little girl stood frozen in fear as a piece went flying to her. Before I could think my body came to life springing to grab her and quickly dodging the car part.
Giving the girl to her mother I, in anger, turned to the man still rampaging as I cracked my knuckles.
"Hey Over-Grown Red Tin Can!" I shouted gaining his attention as he grew even more anger and upset.
"No one insults the Juggarnaut, prepare to meet concrete little girl!" He shouted charging towards me but I quickly dodged the attack as he ran straight through the building behind me before returning even more agitated.
He has strength I'll give him that, perhaps I could actually use that to my advantage. As he charges towards me again I dodge once for only this holding on his back before copying his strength.
Delivering a swift kick to his head I sent him flying into the building as his helmet came flying off. Slightly woozy he tried to grab hold of me but I delivered another kick to the back of his head placing him in a newfound crator in the ground as I signed in annoyance.
I used my abilities again and caused a scene, great just great, hearing sirens on their way and seeing more of those flying contractions, or helicopters as they call them, I headed off quickly to avoid anymore conflict.
"I'm telling you webs Fury is hiding something, I know what I felt." The helmeted superhero shield agent informed the arachnid hero as the man paid him little attention as they jumped through buildings.
The two were the closet when an alert about something happening downtown with the Juggarnaut bringing the webbed hero to sign in irritation. How does this guy keep escaping?
"Can we focus on that later, there is a mad mad wreaking downtown. Besides who could blame him, I feel a disturbance in the cosmos." The webbed hero imitated as the other glared at him.
"Shut up I know what I felt! Mark my words Spidey something has come-ah!" The floating man was then knocked over as a girl crashed into him, knocking them both into the roof of a building.
The other man continued not realizing what happened but thinking the other man stopped talking and was following behind him. As Nova was slightly confused on what just happened he immediately drew his attention to the hooded figure that slightly groaned in pain before slightly panicking.
"Are you ok, can you stand?" She asked kneeling by his side as he was meet with silver eyes gleaming in the darkness as the moonlight outlined her figure.
"Ah yeah I'm fine, I should be asking you that you look like you managed to scratch yourself up." Nova stated noticing the rip in her jeans kneecap as she was slightly bleeding.
"It's fine really I should have been watching where I was going, I kinda failed to see the flying guy with a bucket on his head." I joked lightly as he slightly got offended.
"Hey it's not a bucket it's a helmet, and your one to talk. What kind of girl jumps through roof tops in the middle of the night dressed as a man?" He replied as I got offended.
"I'll have you know this is actually very comfortable, and at least I dress normally. What are you suppose to be a magical glowing fairy flying around with your spandex outfit and goofy helmet?!" I retorted back as we got up close and personal, literally clashing our foreheads together.
"This helmet is a proud symbol of the Nova Corps and this outfit is a respectful uniform, I help and protect the people of New York and the world. Even the underdressed ones who seem to hate your guts." He retorted as I scoffed at him.
"You know I thought coming here would be great you know, see a new culture and have new experiences, but the first day here and the world seems like a pretty missed up place. Makes me wonder if I should have taken my chances back at the-" I cut myself off realizing what I was about to say before just tsking at him.
"You know what just forget it, your fine, I'm fine, let's just call it a night!" I yelled walking away from him as I felt the slight sting of pain in my leg but ignored it as I got closer to the edge.
"Nova." He stated as I stopped right as I was about to jump into the alleyway below.
I looked at him from the corner of my hood confused at him as he looked in another direction scratching the back of his head, well helmet.
"Since this is your first time here in New York I'm presuming you don't know who I I'm, so when you calm down and decide whether or not you want to yell at me, apologize, or just punch me in the face-" He said with some sarcasm.
"You know who your looking for." He stated as I was surprised by the sudden maturity he was showing.
It was silent for a few moments as he made a move to fly off as I let out a sign.
"Alma." I replied, well that was my cover name, as he stopped quickly turning over to me with a surprised look as I turned my attention to the alleyway.
"Not that it matters, this is probably the last time we'll see each other." I state before jumping into the alleyway and disappearing.
Nova slightly laughed at the weird encounter before he spotted a bag on the roof before hurrying to grab it.
"Alma you forgot your bag-" Accidently losing his grip the contents of the bag fell as he slightly scoffed at himself before picking it up.
But he froze when he saw the insignia placed in the center back of the robe before looking for Alma only to see her missing.
She's a member of the Temple of the Ancients! How's that possible!? Nova thought as he stared at the mark belonging to the priests and priestesses that served under said temple.
"First day here and the world seems like a pretty messed up place."
Nova slightly smirked to himself as he collected the bag, looks like we will be seeing each other again Alma. Was she the disturbance he felt, but if she really is a member of that Temple than maybe he should contact Rocket or Gamora and see if they know anything.
S.H.I.E.L.D doesn't need to know about this right now, not until he figures out why she's here.
"Hey bucket head, where you been, not that you missed out on much." Spiderman announced swinging in next to him as Nova seemed conflicted at the moment.
"Let's just say I made an interesting encounter and leave it at that, what happened with the Juggarnaut? Did he beat some sense into you?" Nova joked as Spiderman actually looked puzzled for a moment.
"Actually he was out cold before I arrived, apparently some mysterious hooded figure knocked him unconsious. But they left the scene as soon as possible, who however they are they seemed to have done us a favor." Spiderman stated as Nova looked down at the alleyway with a knowing look.
"I guess they did, I'm going to get going webs I have a few calls to make. Tell your Aunt May I said hi!" Nova proclaimed flying off as the web swinging hero went off as well.
Just who are you Alma?
