Chapter 6
"Ow!" I went flying across the room and crashed into a wall.
"Pay attention!" Natasha snapped at me.
It had been a few days, a week to be specific, since Josh's appearance. Him and Eyepatch guy, also known as Nick Fury, had gone off to some place called the helicarrier. Fury had demanded she had learnt to control her lightning power so she didn't hurt anyone.
"Oh." I gripped the back of my head, still feeling dizzy from being thrown against a wall.
Natasha had said that might as well learn hand to hand whilst i'm at it. I agreed, expecting it to be easy because I knew quite a lot of self defence. However…
"Yikes!" I felt her punch me in the stomach. "Y'know, you could teach me a few moves before you throw me around the room." I glared.
"Oh, right," She looked quite shocked at the idea. I'm guessing that she hadn't really thought if ever training someone before.
"So?" I tapped my foot impatiently as she sat down deciding what to do.
"How about working on fighting without weapons?" She finally said.
"Sure," I shrugged my shoulders.
"Show me your stance!" She folded her arms watching me.
I put my feet just wider than shoulder length apart. I then raised my fists and prepared to fight.
"No! No! No!" She shook her head in disgust, "Your stance is absolutely horrible!" She gestured to my whole body whilst shaking her head.
"What am I doing wrong?" I barely managed to get the words out before I was swept of my feet and on the floor.
"Your feet are way too far apart," She pointed at my feet. "If you keep your feet too far apart your enemy will throw you off balance."
I could see what she meant. If I did keep my feet to far apart, it wouldn't be difficult to knock me over leaving my defences open.
…
"I still don't get it!" I sat down after an exhausting training session.
"What do you mean?" Clint leaned against a wall.
"I mean!" I stood up, "Why do I need to learn hand to hand combat when I have some weird electricity power?"
"Because," Natasha walked into your room, "What if you are too close to use your enemy to use your electricity? Also, what if you drained your electricity or your power just vanished?"
"My powers won't vanish, will they?" I asked, slightly worried.
"I doubt it." She looked unsure though.
"Who wants to watch a movie?" Clint attempted to break the silence that had suddenly fell between us.
"What's on Netflix?" I switched on the Tv.
"Wait!" Clint's hand slapped over the remote, "Let's go to the movies!"
…
Hazel sat in the airport. She attempted to call Kat, no answer.
"She's okay," Hazel whispered to herself, "She'll be okay."
Hazel reflected on what happened on that day. The press had swarmed around the news story like moths to a light. She'd been pestered for days about what had happened and Kat's whereabouts. Kat wasn't the only one who'd vanished, Josh had aswell. Straight after Kat's disappearance he had gone too.
"You've reached Kat's phone, please leave a message after the beep," The monotone voice said.
Hazel stood up and sighed. She probably wouldn't find Kat, New York was massive. Filled with 8 million people, it was basically like a maze of people.
"Ma'am," an American man approached me, "Are you Hazel?"
"Uhh," Hazel stuttered, "Yeah, why?"
"There is a vehicle waiting outside for you," He beckoned me.
"What?"
Hazel, unsure of what to do, followed the man.
Outside the airport, a black car waited for Hazel. Holding the door open was a rather large man.
"Ma'am," The man motioned towards the car, "Please step in."
…
Steve stared at me from across the room whilst Tony talked all about electricity. He was attempting to tell me how to control my 'power' even though he had no idea how to use it, well no one did…
"Are you paying attention?" Tony clicked in my face.
"Oh fu…" I was cut off.
"Watch your language!" Steve shouted at me from across the room.
"Oops," I attempted to hide a laugh. Tony gave me smirk but then turned back to the board.
"Anyway," Tony continued talking about something that we had already covered in science class. He was trying to tell me what happened when light bulbs explode and whether lightning bolts would kill you.
All of a sudden my phone went of. I looked around, Tony had seemed have started to talk about cats and Steve was half asleep in the corner.
I took my phone out, shielding it behind my notebook. I looked at the notification.
'Missed call from Hazel Jay' My heart skipped a beat.
"Got to go, Bye!" I raced out of the room. I tripped over my own feet because of my excitement.
I called her back at waited for her to pick up.
"Kat?" Hazel's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hazel?" I felt my heart began to beat faster. This was the first time I had made contact with anyone I knew other than Josh.
"Oh my god! You're okay!"
"Well duh!"
"Where are you?"
"This may sound crazy but i'm in Stark Tower!"
"I'm right outside!"
I dropped the call, threw the phone onto the floor and raced downstairs towards the reception.
I opened the door to go outside but a tidal wave of rain hit me. I was tempted to shut the door and go. I couldn't even see through all this rain.
"Kat?" It was Hazel.
She stood in front of me. Her red curls clung to her neck, drenched. However, her green eyes shined brighter than emeralds.
"I have a lot of explaining to do," I scratched the back of my head and smiled nervously.
"First," She pulled me in for a hug, "Let's go get some tea."
…
AN: Sorry! I have like no excuse! But here's a new a chapter. I'll try and get another chapter out soon. It's also quite short but Hazel's here. I'm also going to have more Josh in the next chapter.
