You Look Him Up

A/N: If not stated in the previous chapter, then it is implied here that you exchanged numbers and talk often.

Disclaimer: I don't own Marvel or its characters; they belong to Disney. And you belong to you so… I basically own nothing.


It's been almost a week since you first met him. Since then, you have already had multiple conversations on the phone with him, but you want to know more. So, you go to the renovated library, find a working computer, type his name into Google, and search.

Steve/Captain America

Woah. This guy… is in his seventies?! This is crazy. You do a bunch of research on this "super-soldier-serum" that gives him his abilities. Captain America… you remember reading his comic books when you were younger. You have always found the older fashions, trends, and culture to be quite intriguing. And being raised in the 40's does explain his mannerisms. And all of the difficulties he's had trying to call you. You find it hard to believe he actually slept through some of the greatest inventions of all time. Well, you figure that you have some work to do. Leaving the computer, you browse the shelves of the library for books and movies about improvement from the late 40's, to now. Once you've checked out, you put the stuff in your bag and head out, excited to answer any questions he may have about this new world he has become a part of.

Tony/Iron Man

This, is going to be hard. With all of the tabloids, paparazzi, and reporters, it becomes nearly impossible to find any decent information about this guy that isn't choke-full of lies and rumors. From what you can tell, he was in some kind of accident a few years ago and had to have some sort of technical thing implanted in his chest to save his heart from a piece of shrapnel. After that, there are a bunch of rumors, gossip, blah blah blah, there. He uses the "miniaturized arc reactor" to power a suit that he uses to help people. During the invasion, he apparently joined a group of heroes called "the Avengers" in saving the city. You watch a video of him flying a missile into a giant portal above the city. You gasp, not believing what you see. He saved the city from the incursion? You couldn't believe that the savior of the city had given you his number and asked you to call him.

Bruce/Hulk

Deceased? What the heck?! From what you read, Bruce Banner is, like he claimed, a scientist. Yet, on this site, it claims he was killed in an accident years ago. After doing some more research, you realize that around the time of his supposed "death", a creature called the Hulk began terrorizing the countryside. Everything makes sense(ish). The accident turned him into a monster, and since that would never be accepted by the public, the government claimed he had died. You continue searching online and discover his role in saving New York. So apparently, he can switch between being Hulk, and Bruce. How does he control it? You'll have to ask him. Who knows, maybe the two of you can swap techniques you use to help you control your powers.

(Please let me know if this is accurate so that if I got something wrong I can change it… I never saw Hulk's movie so I'm going off of my knowledge of the Hulk's origins.)

Thor/Thor

Thunderer. Fudge. Out of all of the sexy Viking gods, he has to be the god of thunder. You remember back when you were little and you first discovered your powers. It had been during a thunderstorm. Your mom was trying to comfort you when a clap of thunder scared you so bad, that you shot icicles at the clouds. Through the window. You dealt $350 worth of damage that night. Now, you are friends with a guy that is literally one of your greatest childhood fears in human form. Well, at least he isn't the god of fire. That would definitely put a damper on your relationship. Astraphobia is something that can be dealt with. You just hope he doesn't find out about it. You already feel bad about being so skittish when you first met him.

...

Clint/Hawkeye

Nothing. You search his real name (which took forever for you to get from him). Nothing. You remember back to when you first met him, how he was mumbling about working for the government. You decide to try his codename one last time and finally find an article. It talks about how the saving of the city was all thanks to a group of individuals called "The Avengers". You watch a video link on the website and see Clint shooting arrow after arrow at the alien soldiers. Then you see her. A red-head wearing a similar uniform to his. You freeze the frame and zoom onto their uniforms. They work for S.H.I.E.L.D. You know about S.H.I.E.L.D., and what they do to freaks like you. Does he know about your powers? Is he really your friend? Or is he just trying to get to you so that his boss has an excuse to lock you up in a cage?

Loki/Loki

No. He can't be. You look at multiple sites. They all tell the same story. Loki, Asgardian god of mischief, is responsible for the destruction of the city. You feel the temperature in the room drop severely and you quickly exit the building. You race back to an abandoned warehouse, leaving a trail of ice behind you. Fortunately, it melts as soon as you're out of sight. Once inside the warehouse, you let out your fury in a blast of ice. It's like the scene in Frozen where Elsa freezes Anna's heart. Except for you, the blast is much bigger. By the time you collapse, the entire inside is covered in spikes of ice. You look around, frightened of yourself. The thought occurs to you that maybe, you two are the same; monsters, outcasts of this world. As you calm yourself enough to dissipate the ice, you decide to give him a chance; a chance to change his ways.
