So... thank you to everyone who reviewed so far. And to clarify, I got one review about this but I forgot who it was from, but Clarisse is not related to an Avenger. Another OC is in here, so yay! for that. Hopefully I'll introduce more soon. But for now, here's chapter 4, please review, give suggestions, or do whatever you want.


"Leo?" I asked confused. Why was he here? This obviously wasn't a hospital, and why would he be here and not her parents?

"The one and only," he replied with a grin. "How are you feeling?" he asked sincerely.

"Dead," she said plopping back on the pillows behind her.

"Trust me, you're very much alive," Leo informed her.

"I just feel so drained."

"Well, you don't look like a super model right now, if that's what you mean."

Clarisse would've slapped him if she wasn't so exhausted.

"Why are you here? And, where am I?"

Leo's face became serious, he seemed a little uneasy. "With all that happened to you, I don't think you should be worrying about it, your stress levels might rise, and that'd be bad because…"

She cut him off, "Where am I, Leo?"

He sighed, knowing he couldn't avoid her questions. "I haven't been completely honest with you, Clarisse."

Clarisse? He never used her real name. He'd always make up some dumb nickname or call her Clary or Claire. Leo must've been really serious about this, it was making her nervous.

"Right now, you're in a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility. I can't tell you exactly where because the information is classified, and I don't actually know if I can tell you."

S.H.I.E.L.D.? Wasn't that some strange organization that stepped in only when there were national disasters or tragedies?

"How come I'm not in a hospital?" Clarisse asked, still wonder about S.H.I.E.L.D.

"You were, but then you were air lifted here once you were in a stable condition." Leo explained.

"Stable condition? What happened to me?"

Just then, the door opened, revealing a woman who looked as if she was in her earlier twenties. She had dark brown hair that was tied in a ponytail and she was wearing the same type of outfit the last man she saw wore.

"Most of the doctors said you were hit by lightning, but I believe otherwise," she said walking into the room. "I'm Agent Alice Coulson, of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm in charge of this facility while my father is elsewhere."

I gave Leo a questioning look. He attempted not to meet my eyes, but failed. The look in his eyes was almost an apology, but he quickly glanced away before I could really tell what was going through his mind. If it wasn't lightning that hit me, what was it?

Alice glanced between the two of them and seemed to have figured it out.

"He didn't tell you?" She asked in disbelief.

"Tell me what?" Clarisse said slowly.

"Alright, I'm going to come back in about five minutes, and by then, you'd have had enough time to explain everything," and with that, she disappeared out the door.

"Leo," Clarisse began cautiously.

He cut her off, "No, you need to listen right now. Please, don't talk until I've said everything I need to or if I ask you a question."

She nodded.

"Okay, this might come as a bit of a shock, but my family is involved with S.H.I.E.L.D."

Actually, it wasn't that surprising. He constantly would say he needed to be somewhere, but whenever Clarisse asked where, he'd never give her a straight answer, He'd simply say "its family stuff" and leave. Clarisse didn't know why he didn't tell her, it didn't seem like that big of a deal.

Leo saw her reaction and added, "I know, it doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but it kind of is."

"How exactly is your family 'involved with S.H.I.E.L.D.'?" Clarisse knew she wasn't supposed to say anything, but Leo was so distracted he didn't even notice.

"Well, that's the weird part. You've met my family right?"

"Yeah, there's Aebela, Aurora, Dean, and your mom."

"Yeah," Leo was pacing now, and sounded nervous. "Here's what you don't know, there's my dad too."

"Wait," Clarisse was becoming really confused. "You told me you never met my dad. I've been to your house a million times, and I think I would've noticed your dad."

"Well," His voice became high-pitched, "He's got an active job, y'know? Always on the run and stuff."

It seemed as if he was still dodging the point of his story.

"Oh my god, Leo! Would you just tell me what the big deal is?" Clarisse practically shouted at him.

He stopped pacing and looked her right in the eye, and then he said,

"I'm the son of Thor, the god of thunder."

Clarisse was too stunned to say anything, part of her reaction was that he wasn't serious and this was all some joke, but it was actually possible. The legendary, and I do mean legendary, Thor could possibly be his dad. It was very unclear during the Battle of New York, Clarisse wasn't born when it happened, but people still talked about it, but some people did believe Thor fought alongside the Avengers. To a lot of people, he was an Avenger. The Avengers still showed up from time to time, but it was rare. They only appear if the situation can't be handled by any other forces.

Leo must have seen the expression on her face, because before she could say anything, he was out the door. Alice poked her head in a looked at Clarisse in a confused way.

"I figured it would've gone better. I mean, if I found out my boyfriend was the son of a god, I'd probably fall head over heels," she said with a slight joking tone in her voice.

"He's not my boyfriend," Clarisse said a little too confidently.

"Well, by the way he talks about you every day, I figured you two were together," Alice shrugged, "I guess I'm still horrible with relationships."

Clarisse didn't say anything.

"Anyway, let's skip to the end of this depressing conversation," Alice began. "Your life is basically screwed up forever."

"What?" Clarisse began to panic, that could mean a million things.

"Okay, maybe I should've started a little father back. We don't know what hit you the other night, but we do know it wasn't exactly what you call 'of this world'" Alice admitted.

She continued, "What hit you was a pure blast of energy, which probably should have killed you. Obviously it didn't, so we know all that energy or power is surging through your very veins," she gestured to her arm. "I don't know if it'll kill you or not, but so far it looks like its improving your every quality. It should have taken months for you to heal, but instead, you healed basically overnight. When we first found you, you looked as if someone sucked all the life out of you, now you look as healthy as ever. You had bruises and scratches, and now they're nowhere to be seen."

"How is that possibly?" Clarisse murmured as she looked at herself. It was true, nothing about her appearance suggested she'd been in an accident.

"You tell me," she thought Alice was just saying that, but she meant it. She stared at Clarisse with curiosity in her eyes. "You were the only one there."

This made Clarisse think, what did happen? It wasn't very clear, it all happened so fast. So, failing to find the right words, she shrugged. Alice looked disappointed.

"Listen," she began, "I know it must be hard and all, but I need you to tell me exactly what happened, as much as you can remember."

Sighing, Clarisse began to tell her about the storm and the lightning and then finally the beam of light that hit her. When she finished, something came to mind.

"How did you know about the 'blast of energy'?"

"We got a signal on one of our radars. Usually when that happens, it just means… well, nothing new. But, the thing is, the other night, that couldn't have happened," Alice turned away for a moment, almost talking to herself. "He was already here, on earth. No one else has reason to come here from there. It was unexpected." She turned back to Clarisse.

"The signal showed two people. Were you one of them?" Alice asked Clarisse, staring at her intently.

Two people… Clarisse saw two other people. They were in the center of the storm, fighting.

"No," Clarisse decided. "I saw two people in the center of the lightning or energy or whatever it is. It looked like they were fighting."

"Well, it seems like this case got a whole lot more complicated," Alice began walking towards the door. Then she turned her head to Clarisse again, "Feel better, and don't worry about it. I've got everything under control. It's probably nothing."
