Hey guys! So I finished this early then I thought, started writing it right after chapter 6 and well let's just say there are a lot of things going on and a lot of people's POV. So let's get started shall we.
So first, is Natasha's POV this is where she and Clint discuss Sarah and Steve's fling they had in the elevator and Natasha is annoyed with Clint already because she's basically doing all the work. Since Fury didn't give the proper file of Sarah, in order to get the full background on Sarah, they have to dig up the information and how she got her powers thus finding something out that both Natasha and Clint thought it's impossible, but then again, they work at SHIELD, anything is possible.
Next is Sarah's POV basically she has another visit from Jean which is her sister or she thinks it's her sister, but she has no memory of having a sister whatsoever. When she wakes up from her sleep, she remembers that she was crying hours ago, she remembers that she and Steve shared a moment with each other in the elevator and has feelings for him, but she doesn't want to get hurt again. She gets her mind off of everything and she starts to sing, however, Clint sneaks up on her and they both go into a little brawl, but no one gets her. Then they both almost shared a moment until Sarah gets a headache and it starts to get worse.
Next is Clint's POV, Professor X's POV which is short, but I wanted to throw it in there because I thought it would make a little more interesting then back to Sarah's POV, but it's in her mind and she pleas for help and then she contact Clint. Then it goes back to Clint's POV and he talks with Sarah for maybe about five to ten minutes and tell Fury to contact help which has to be Professor X.
And the last POV is Jean Grey/Phoenix's POV in which she is watching Sarah on Asgard and Jean Grey is an adoptive daughter to Odin and Frigga. So she is the adoptive sister to Loki and Thor in which Loki and Thor haven't met yet, but will soon.
Yeah a lot to take in, but I hope you guys like it anyone, in this chapter it's a lot more detailed then I thought, but I hope you guys like it and don't worry I am keeping it to the plot line of the movie, but I wanted to throw in some of my own ideas instead of following straight through the movie, but there will be more parts of the movie, it's just going to be a lot different. I did start writing the next chapter, but I know it's going to be a lot longer, so stay with me and stay calm.
Without further ado, here is chapter 7 of Becoming a Part of Something New!
Hugs and kisses! Also I do not own the Avengers, the X-Men or any of the characters from Thor! I own Sarah Anastasia Chandler!
Chapter 7: Phoenix's Wrath
Natasha's POV
"He did what!?" Barton leaning against the wall while I'm working on a file of Sarah and since Director Fury only had the basic information, we had to find the rest of it on our own. Bruce was already doing a DNA test to find out who her parents and any other siblings and also doing her blood tests to see what type of blood she has. So that's getting done and I'm working on looking for medical records, criminal records and anything else we can find. Barton was not much help, but getting the information wasn't that hard. I looked up at Barton who was still grinning about the captain's little make out with Sarah. "Steve as in Captain America, kissed Sarah!?" Barton's grinned was even wider then before and he was holding in his laughter about the whole thing too.
"Yup, now this wasn't just a regular kiss, it was full on make out with Sarah in the elevator."
"You're lying."
"If I were lying about Steve making out with Sarah, then why does he keep touching his lips and he face started turning a shade of red." Just imaging Steve and Sarah making out in the elevator that we all take to get to Dr. Banner's lab. I don't know whether if I should be happy or worried.
"Are you sure they made out the in the elevator?" Barton grinned even more and nodded. "The one we take to get to Dr. Banner's lab?" It took him a minute to think about it and when he looked at me, he nodded. "Oh god." Barton let out his laughter that he was holding in and it echoed in my room. I was already annoyed with him, but the fact that he had to tell me about Steve and Sarah's make out session, I actually rather be around Stark then talking to Barton right at the moment. I glared at him while he clutched his stomach and wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes. He saw my glare and grinned.
"What? Come on Nat, it's not like they did it on purpose." I rolled my eyes and scowled at him.
"ты идиот." Barton was always amazed when I speak Russian to him especially when I tell him off whenever I'm pissed. He finally stopped laughing and I still continued to work on finding the rest of Sarah's papers for the file.
"So why didn't Fury get the rest of everything for Sarah's file?"
"Because Fury doesn't want the council to know about Sarah and this file is only for the eyes of Fury, Agent Hill and the rest of us. No one doesn't know we're completing the file."
"How come Fury doesn't want the council to find out?" I was already getting annoyed with Barton. He keeps asking questions about this whole ordeal and I'm pulling answers out of my ass. I sighed and looked up at Barton.
"Fury doesn't want the council to abuse Sarah's abilities. Fury recruited her for a reason and that reason is stopping Loki from ruling this world. He knows that Sarah is a good person and willing to do anything to keep everyone safe even if it does kill her in the end, but her legacy will continue on. If the council found out about Sarah, they will just use her as an experiment, make her use her powers in the wrong way and use the Phoenix's powers to make nuclear weapons. We wouldn't be better any better than HYDRA." There was a silence in the room and we both know that I hate the silence. Barton's face went from being his stupid self to a serious concern for Sarah. He thinks he can hide it from me, but we all know that he can't. He truly cares for Sarah ever since he saved him from Loki's mind control. I looked back at the computer screen and found Sarah's medical records. My brows furrowed at the records. "Barton, did she ever say that she was supposed to be dead?"
Sarah's POV
"What did you call me?"
"Sister, you are my sister Sarah."
"That's not possible. I didn't have any brothers and sisters growing up."
"That may be true; however, you don't know the full truth because they were erased from your memory."
"How do I know you're telling the truth? That this isn't some sick game of yours."
"All in time, you will discover the truth and how you possessed the Phoenix."
"Why are you telling me this now? Why not tell me years ago?"
"You were still young, you wouldn't understand at the age of thirteen. I only kept my distances was for your own good."
"I don't believe you."
"I know, but in time, the truth will be revealed."
I woke up gasping for air, but didn't scream. I was breathing heavy from Jean Grey's visit again. I groaned at the sight of the light, I guess I forgot to turn off the light before I crawled into bed. I rubbed my forehead and sighed. Am I really her sister? I don't remember mom and dad mentioning a sister to me and I know they didn't have any other kids. Rambling thoughts went through my head along with Steve's and I's make out. My lips still burns from his touch and the dried tears I shed when I locked myself in my room. I do feel bad that I literally ran off, but I couldn't stay any longer. The feeling is still there, but it's not like how it was a couple of hours ago. I don't know whether to be happy that Steve kissed me or to be extremely worried about the whole situation. I stared at my hands for a moment and sighed. I don't know how I'm going to face Steve or how I'm going to see him at all. I groaned and fell backwards that my head hits the softness of the pillow. I rubbed my eyes from the left over tiredness and stared at the ceiling. My mind was on Steve and how much of a gentleman he is, how much he cares about my well being, his overprotective nature and how handsome he is. However, I don't think I can be in a relationship with him, ever since the whole thing with Scott and the incident, I just don't think I'm ready. Yes, I do have feelings for Steve, ever since we met, I can't get my mind off of Steve. It's like he put a spell on me. I shook my head to get all the thoughts out and I got up. I went into the dresser, grabbed my black shorts and dark blue spaghetti strap tank top. Maybe a nice hot shower will take my mind off of things. I walked in the bathroom, turned on the shower, took off my clothes that still have the scent of Steve on it and walked in the shower. The hot water it my cold skin making it steam. As the hot water run through my hair, I couldn't help, but start to sing.
Bring along your tricks and trade
We will lie here
Here we lay
And though this ship is out to sea
I'm content to lie peacefully
Tall and agile, seaside born
My parents death did I dear mourn
Now in this wicked world risk I
Bold endeavors by and by
Every time I sing this song, it reminds of something, something I've seen before, but what could that be. What is the memory that reminds me so much of this song? I kept humming the tone as I finished up from my hot shower, plus I don't want anyone to hear me singing. I know I don't have a terrible voice, but still I never really liked singing in front of people. I dried myself with the towel, put on my shorts and tank top and dried my hair with the towel. I walked out of the bathroom still humming the song that's stuck in my head, after a few minutes I started singing again.
Oh and now we have no chances
They fill the empty caskets
And leave you with your tears
And oh now we take our chances
We all will take more chances
Before our lives end too
"I didn't know you could sing." I jumped and dropped my hair brush, spun around and pointed my glock 22 at, "Whoa, hey, I didn't mean to startle you!"
"Clint?"
"Yeah who else would it be? Now would you put that away before someone gets hurt?"
"Sorry." I lowered my gun and threw it on the bed. "How did you get into my room? The door locked." He grinned and pointed up. I looked up and saw the vent was opened. "Oh, I see." He then let out a chuck and I rolled my eyes. I walked towards the bathroom until I felt Clint's arms around my waist. I tensed up and didn't know what to think, but the only thing I did was my reflex kicking in. I grabbed one of his arms and tried to throw him to the ground, however, it was the opposite instead of me throwing him to the ground, and it was Clint who threw me to the ground. His full body was on top of mine as he pinned my arms. I tried to get out, but he was a little stronger than me. I struggled to get out from under him, but I sighed in defeat. We both were breathing hard, I looked into his icy blue eyes and I couldn't help, but admire the man. We both stared at each other realizing that there may be something between us. However, I couldn't help, but thinking of Steve and the kiss we shared in the elevator. I snapped out of the gaze and looked away from Clint. "I can't. I'm sorry Clint, but I can't do this." I felt tears slipping from my eyes. Why is this happening to and only me? I felt Clint's hand resting on my cheek and brushed the tears away. As he got up, he pulled me up with him and pulled me into a hug. The tears were spilling out and I clenched onto Clint's shirt for dear life. I cried hard and I couldn't stop crying until I had a painful headache, but it was painful. I clenched my head, squeezed my eyes closed and cried out in pain.
"Sarah, Sarah what's wrong!?" I couldn't answer to Clint because I was hearing different voices in my head. However, they weren't speaking at all; the voices came from their head. I can hear everyone thoughts including Clint's and Steve's even Loki's too. I groaned in pain and I heart items in my room being levitated up in the air.
"That's right! Free the beast that longs to be released! You can't hold the beast any longer! Release the bird that longs its song for destruction!" It was Loki's voice; he was trying to release the Phoenix. This was Jean's warning. She was warning me about Loki, not the Avengers. This all my fault. I felt Clint's hands on my arms, shaking my lightly.
"Sarah, talk to me what's wrong!?" I opened my teary eyes and looked at Clint for help.
"Clint, help me, I can't stop it, I can't I," I couldn't say anything else because after pleading for help to Clint, all I could hear was Loki's laugh and everything faded to black.
Clint's POV
"This is not good, this is not good!" I know was talking to myself, but right at this moment, it was not good at all. Running through the halls to get to Dr. Banner's lab with Sarah's body limp in my arms, yeah not very good at all. I could hear Dr. Banner, Stark and Steve's voices as I got closer to the lab.
"I think Loki is trying to wind us up, this is a man who means to start a war and if we don't stay focused, he'll succeed. We have orders. We should follow them."
"Following is not really my style."
"And you're all about style, aren't you?"
"Of all the people in this room, which one is a) wearing a spangly outfit and b) not of use?" I know Bruce was about to say something until I burst through the doors. I was breathing heavily. They all stared at me like I'm still under Loki's control, but once they looked at Sarah's limp body; they knew something was not right.
"Dr. Banner I need your help fast!" It didn't take long for Dr. Banner to make his way over to us, he felt Sarah's forehead and his eyes widen with horror.
"She has a fever, put on the table!" I quickly walked over to the metal table and gentle laid Sarah. Once I laid her down, all sorts of items started levitating around the room and violently being thrown around. Stark and Steve made their way towards the table and dodging the items that are being thrown around. Some of them even started to circle around in the air and around Sarah. Steve quickly made his way at Sarah's side.
"What happened to her!?" I shrugged.
"I don't know, I came to check up on her, one minute she's fine and all of a sudden she's telling me that she can't stop it!"
"Can't stop what!?"
"I don't know Cap! I don't know!"
"Guys stop arguing!" We both looked at Dr. Banner who was checking Sarah's vital signs and his eyes widen with horror again. I do not like the looks of this. "Her vital signs are through the roof, get Director Fury!" Tony didn't need to be told twice, he had already on his phone.
"He should be down here in five. What happened to her!?" I threw my hands up in the air giving Stark the same answer I told Steve.
"Again I don't know! She was okay when I checked up on her!" Before Steve could say anything else, Director Fury walked in and so did Nat and Thor.
"What happened!?" Again I threw my hands up in the air for explaining what happened for the third time.
"I went to check up on Sarah to see if she was okay and when I saw her she was fine and all of a sudden, she's in pain and tells me she can't stop it and I don't know what that means!" Director Fury looked at me with answers and I don't have any. He then looked back at Sarah lying the metal table with no sign of life. Dr. Banner pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Director, her vital signs are through the roof, I don't know if I can stabilize her. I can't estimate her conditions if I can't stabilize her."
"What about her mind? Is her mind stable?" Dr. Banner went to pull out a machine that can monitor Sarah's mind and mental stability. He attached small patches on Sarah's forehead and the side of it that had small thin wires connected to the small patches to the machine. He turned it on and the machine started to make beeping noises. It was steady, I almost sighed in relief until it started beeping rapidly until the monitor started to spark and steam came out of the machine. My eyes widen in horror as did everyone else, I looked at Dr. Banner who was waving out the smoke.
"What just happened!?" Dr. Banner coughed from the smoke and looked at all of us.
"I don't know, mental and vital signs are off the charts! There's nothing to describe it!"
"Director Fury, we have to find someone who knows what's happening to Sarah! If we don't who knows what's going to happen next!" As I finished my sentence, everyone as in everyone was flown across the room by a force unknown to us. I groaned in pain and looked towards the lab and saw something I wished I hadn't seen. Sarah had levitated in the air, the lab was destroyed and items were flying around the room. I looked at everyone else, Director Fury groaned in pain, his clothes were torn as well as everyone else, Dr. Banner rubbed the back of his head and looked up at Sarah, and Nat rubs her arm to ease the pain. Stark and Steve couldn't help, but stare at Sarah as she arched her back. I couldn't just sit here and watch her like this, so I did the stupidest thing I could ever think of. I got up quickly and started running towards Sarah.
"Barton!" Nat yelled for me, but I didn't stop and everyone else yelled my name as well.
"Barton stop!"
"Clint its suicide!"
"No Barton!"
"CLINT!" I almost reached for Sarah that I almost touched her hand, however another white flash blinded me and after that everything went black.
An hour later
"We can't just leave Sarah in that state! There has to something else we could do!?" Steve's voice was loud that my headache came back again. I felt something wet damp on my forehead, I opened my eyes slowly, my vision was blurry and I could see everything was fuzzy. I saw blurry figures and I'm just guessing at this, it was Steve, Stark, Dr. Banner, Director Fury, Agent Hill and Coulson. I tried to rub my forehead until I winced at the pain that came from my side.
"If you keep moving Barton, I will give you more pain." That was Nat alright, I looked up at her, and she had a small bandage on the side of her forehead, glanced at her arm and she hand white bandages wrapped around her arm. I groaned in pain as I sat up, Nat was still damping my forehead with a wet cloth and she gave me a light smile. "You're lucky to be alive Barton. You got hit pretty hard after the second impact you took."
"What happened?"
"You were being stupid and ran towards Sarah and she blasted you away from her only it's not her." She paused and pressed her lips together and looked away. I could tell she wasn't telling me something. She looked at me with fear in her eyes which you never see unless she gets flashbacks of her days in Red Room. I rest my hand on her arm and light squeezed and she sighed. "The Phoenix is trying to take control of her." I stared at Nat with horror, not to mention my fear for Sarah too. More yelling came across the room discussing what do about Sarah and the Phoenix.
"We can't just leave Sarah down there suffering while the Phoenix is crawling its way out of Sarah and take control of her!"
"Don't you think I know that Rogers!" The room started to tremble for at least a second and then stopped. Steve glared at Fury and yelled at him again.
"It's gonna get a lot worse if we don't do something!"
"For once I agree with capcicle on this one, we can't just sit here and watch the Phoenix slowly taking control over Sarah! We have to act now if we want to save Sarah from further damage by the Phoenix! Time isn't on our side right at the moment!" Fury stayed silent while Stark and Steve yelled at him. They both were right, we don't have any more time on our side, the more damage the Phoenix does to Sarah, the more in the long run for her to recover. Fury turned around and tapped the screen showing a file of someone that we don't recognize.
"His name is Charles Xavier, headmaster of the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in Westchester, NY also known as Professor X. He posses the power of telepathic powers, by the time he graduated from Harvard University at the age of 16, he studies and receives Ph.D in Genetics, Biophysics and Psychology. Later on his life, he started recruiting young mutants and thus creating the school. His first five students are Marvel Girl, Cyclops, Beast, Iceman and Angel, the original X-Men. After defeating their enemy named Magneto. After defeating Magneto some of them went their separate ways, the rest stayed at the mansion and continued to be a part of the X-Men. He created Cerebro by using his knowledge he had learned, creating Cerebro was a way to locate mutants around the world who stand out. Professor X also a survivor of the attack by the Dark Phoenix. The Dark Phoenix is very much different than the Phoenix residing in Sarah. Professor X and the X-Men managed to save everyone from the Dark Phoenix, however, by saving everyone from the Dark Phoenix; it only brought grief by not saving its host. That host is the older sister of Sarah Anastasia Chandler." Everyone was silent after a brief of the briefing about this guy who's been in this situation before. If he can save Sarah, then it's the only option we got. "However, I was hoping to avoid contact with him, but seeing the situation has gotten out of hand. I'm afraid we have no choice, but to ask him to help us and most importantly to help Sarah." Avoid contact? This is where I stand up and ask him why. I started to get up, groaned in pain and Nat helping up to stand on my own two feet.
"What do you mean you were trying to avoid contact with the professor? What do you mean by that?" Fury stayed silent again, turning away from us and avoid to answer my question. "There's something you're not telling us, isn't it Director?" He let out a sigh in defeat.
"A couple of years ago, Professor X tried to force a young girl who possessed the Phoenix at a young age, bring in a few X-Men members Ororo known as Storm, Wolverine, Cyclops and the known other Jean Grey went to the home of the Grey family. Jean thought she was doing the right thing in protecting her younger sister from Magneto and the group he created called the Brotherhood. The X-Men and the professor himself thought by taking Jean's younger sister to the school was the best way to keep her safe unfortunately the parents refused to give up their second daughter to the school. Jean tried reasoning with her parents, but refused for their youngest daughter to go to the school and be branded as a mutant. With all the yelling going on, Cyclops thought by taking the younger sister without everybody knowing was probably the biggest mistake he made. The sister ended up using her powers against the X-Men. Jean tried to convince her to come to the school telling her it was safer there, however, it made the entire situation worse. The sister almost used the full force of the Phoenix, however, she managed to take back in control, but with in control she lost her memories of what happened that night along with Jean Grey. SHIELD then stepped in and saved the sister and the parents from being forced to give up their daughter. We then protected them the three of them from being encountered by the X-Men and forcing the younger daughter into Xavier's school. Until one of their own decided to pose as a student in Forth Worth TX where he revealed himself as Cyclops. He forced the sister to come with him to the Xavier's school in order to keep her safe and protect her that it until she felt betrayed and heartbroken by all the lies he said and gave thus releasing the Phoenix for short brief moment. The same encounter with the Phoenix, the loss of her memory on the fateful day and the sister of Jean Grey is here on the Helicarrier, down in Dr. Banner's lab suffering from the Phoenix herself."
"Sarah."
"Correct Agent Barton, Sarah Anastasia Chandler is known other then Sarah Anastasia Grey. Youngest daughter the Grey family and youngest sister of Jean Grey."
Professor X's POV
"Is everything alright Charles?" Ororo asked as she made her way towards my desk. I was concreting on a similar force I've encountered a long time ago. I could feel the young girl cry for help, a force trying to take control over her, yes this force feels familiar. As the girl screamed, a white flash of power gave me the idea of what this force is. I gasped out of my concretion and my breathing was heavy. "Charles, what's wrong." I looked Ororo with horror in my eyes as she looked at me with concern. "What is it?"
"Get the Blackbird ready and gather the X-Men, she has resurfaced." Ororo stared at me with wide eyes of horror as she covered her mouth from gasping.
"You don't mean,"
"Yes, I'm afraid so."
"But we believed she was killed when she destroyed half of the school. She could've have possibly survived that whole ordeal. Scott said,"
"I do believe what Scott said, but I believed she had survived the incident and has been on the run since." Ororo stayed quiet, trying to process all of this news; however, she doesn't doubt that I may be right about Jean's sister resurfacing once again.
"If she did resurfaced, you know that means,"
"Yes, if Sarah has resurfaced than the Phoenix has resurfaced as well."
"Are you going to contact him?"
"I have no choice Ororo, he's been hiding Sarah for so long, we may have no choice."
"When do you want to leave?"
"We leave now."
Sarah's POV
Every thought, every voice I can hear. I can't control the Phoenix anymore. I can't hold on, please I need to help!
"Somebody help me! Anybody!? Please someone, help me!" I screamed in my mind hoping to connect with someone on the outside. However, no one was there. My powers are going to destroy the Helicarrier if I can't connect with anyone. "Somebody please answer me! Help me please! I can't stop it, please help me please! Help me Clint!" I tried to contact Clint through his mind; I'm just hoping he hears my plea.
Clint's POV
"Help me Clint!" I jerked my head towards the door from the bridge. I swear I heard Sarah calling for me, but not just speaking out loud, but in my mind. "Clint, where are you!? Help me Clint!" I looked around the room and everyone thought I was going insane. I grabbed my head from the splitting headache I have, but now I know where the headache came from, it was Sarah trying to contact me. "Please, Clint help me! I can't stop it! I'm losing you!"
"Sarah, I'm here! I'm here! Focus on me!"
"I can't! Please help me! Make it all stop!"
"I will Sarah, we're doing everything we can to stop the Phoenix from taking control over you! I promised you I will protect you no matter what! Just hang in there sweetheart! I have to go for now, the others are looking at me like I've gone insane, I'll be back I promise."
"Please hurry Clint! Hurry!"
"I will, I promise! Just hang on!" My eyes snapped opened and I gasp for air that was taken from me. I was breathing heavy as Nat put an arm around my shoulders and help me up.
"Barton what happened!?" I looked at her with eyes with either fear or relief that I was able to contact Sarah through our minds.
"Sarah, she needs help."
"How did you,"
"She contacted me through my mind, she was pleading for help and she contacted me saying that she can't stop it, she's too weak. She wants it all to stop." I looked at Fury for guidance. "Fury we don't have any other option, we have to contact Professor X. He's the only who's experience this before! He can save Sarah, but we won't let him take her! We just need his help! Please I'm begging you, contact Professor X! It's the only way!" I know Fury doesn't want to, but he knows that I'm right and it IS the only option to save Sarah. Fury doesn't want to contact him, but he knows that it might save Sarah from going insane in the long run. He sighed and nodded in agreement. He turned away from us and tapped the screen. We could hear a ring tone for about a minute until we heard another voice on the other line.
"Professor X speaking."
"Charles, this is Nick Fury of SHIELD." There was a long silence on the other end of the line, I was getting nervous. I understand why Fury hid Sarah and her family from the X-Men trying to take her away. I also understand why Fury recruited Sarah to be part of the Avengers Initiative; he wanted her to be herself and do something great in the world. He cares for her like it's his own daughter, he believes she can do great things even if she does have power, he still believes in her. We all waited for an answer on the other end of the line, but we heard nothing. You could feel the tension in the air as everyone waited patiently for Professor X to answer. We were all holding our breaths, it's been at least thirty minutes and we all started to give up. Stark and Steve were looking at the screen; Dr. Banner took off his glasses and looked toward the screen as well. Agent Hill and Coulson were silent they entire time, Hill was leaning against the railing and Coulson was leaning against the wall away from everyone else. Nat squeezed my shoulders and I balled my hands to fists. Fury was about to hang up until the professor spoke, but it was something we didn't expect to hear.
"I warned you."
Jean Grey/Phoenix's POV
I watch my sister in pain and horror while the Phoenix inside of her tries to take her over. It's that damn Loki guy getting into her head and forcing the Phoenix to come out and bring destruction. I couldn't do anything since I'm deceased and I don't have my powers. My little sister, suffering in pain and desperately pleading for help. She already contacted one of her friends name Clint Barton. She had created a bond with him and is able to contact him in his mind along in her dreams. He cares for her so much and would do anything to save Sarah even if it means taking a bullet for her, he will always protect Sarah. However, I do see Sarah has some unknown feelings for the Captain Rogers as well. They already shared a moment between them, but she is unsure whether he feels the same way. However, Clint didn't mean to trigger something between him and Sarah when they almost had a moment, something else was invading Sarah's mind. Loki invaded Sarah's mind, broke the walls she created so she could keep control of the Phoenix and Loki was breaking each wall. He was releasing the Phoenix as a distraction so he can escape. I gasped at the realization and looked around to find someone to tell. I got up from the bench and ran out of the gardens to the throne. As I ran up the stairs to the palace, I tripped over the hem of my dress, but scrambled to my feet and kept running. I burst through the doors of the throne. Everyone was looking at me with concern faces, I fixed myself and quickly walk towards the throne were King Odin was sitting along with his wife Frigga. Once I made it to the edge of the stairs to King Odin, I bowed in respect of the king.
"Rise my dear," I glanced up and rose up and stood straight. "What has brought here in such a hurry?"
"All-Father, I come here with disturbing news from Midgard." He stiffened a little; Frigga looked at Odin for an answer and everyone else looking between me and Odin.
"What is this disturbing news you speak of milady?"
"It concerns my sister Sarah."
"What has happened to dear Sarah?"
"Loki has invaded Sarah's mind and she is in a state of crisis. Loki is manipulating the Phoenix and Sarah is losing control. I don't know how long she can keep the Phoenix inside of her." Odin put his elbow on the arm rest and started to rub his chin. Frigga rested her hand on Odin's.
"Odin, it is time." He looked at his wife and squeezed her hand.
"Please All-Father, I can't stand on the sidelines and watch my sister die, I don't want her to end up like me. I know I don't have my powers anymore and I know I won't be much help, but just my presence alone will get through to her along with another she has bonded with. Please All-Father, let me help her." Odin stared at me, he knows I love my sister and I would do anything just to be with her. He looks into my eyes, he knows Sarah is the only family I have left and I can't lose her. Odin stood up from the throne and walked towards me. He rests a hand on my cheek and brushes the tears away that I wasn't aware of.
"You are a strong warrior goddess my dear and you have a true heart. I give you permission to go to Midgard in helping your sister, however, I will not let you go alone. The Warriors Three and Sif will go with you and aid Thor and his friends."
"Thank you All-Father." I hesitated in giving him a hug, however, Odin gave me a warm hug and I hugged him back. I became grateful for Odin's decision. I pulled back and he gave me a kiss on my forehead.
"Go, help Sarah from being taken over by the Phoenix, bring her back and bring her peace. A sister should always be there for another especially if they are family."
"Thank you All-Father." I ran quickly jogged towards the doors; I looked back and smiled at Odin. "I won't let you down All-Father!"
"I know my dear, you never let me down. Now go! Go my child, go!" My smile grew even wider and I left the throne to find Volstagg, Hogun, Fandral and Sif and inform them of our new task. I run through the city of Asgard in finding them until I found ran through the gardens. They were at peace and enjoy the nature, I smiled and then frowned that I have to disturb their peace. I sighed and walked towards them. Hogun spotted me before anyone else and smiled at me.
"Dear Jean, to what do we owe the pleasure in seeing a beautiful flower such as yourself." I couldn't help, but smile, although the thought of my sister in pain took my mind over.
"Good to see you Hogun, however, I come with news from Midgard." That got everyone's attention when I mention Midgard because Thor is at Midgard and we all know that we worry for him every day. Sif got up and her hand was already on the handle of her sword.
"What has happened? Is Thor alright?" I glanced at the ground avoiding eye contact with Sif and everyone else.
"I don't know if Thor is alright or not, but we are going Midgard to aid Thor and his friends." Volstagg stepped forward and spoke.
"Is your sister out of harm's way?" I shook my head and looked at him with fear in my eyes.
"I'm afraid not." I felt a hand on my shoulder and I know it was Hogun. He always worried about me whenever I tried to contact Sarah in her dreams or even tell her the truth or just warning her about the future. Yes, Hogun always worried about me, but who could blame him. Frigga and Odin have always worried about when Heimdall felt my presence upon the Bifrost. Odin and Frigga have taken me in as their adoptive daughter yet I have not met Loki or Thor who are my brothers. Living in Asgard was very different on Earth, but it's a new beginning for me and living on Asgard means no harm will come to Sarah if I still lived on Earth. I looked at Hogun with once again fear in my eyes. "Loki has invaded Sarah's mind and is manipulating the Phoenix. He's trying to bring the Phoenix out of Sarah as it is a part of his scheme in taking over Earth and also a distraction for him to make his escape. Sarah is holding on, she made contact with one of her friends she had created a bond with and was able to contact him."
"What did this friend say?"
"He said to hang on as long as she can and he will find a way to help her and save her in any he can."
"What name is this friend of Sarah?"
"His name is Clint Barton, he was under Loki's mind control spell at first, but Sarah was able to contact him and was able to break the spell."
"This Clint Barton, does he care for Sarah?"
"Very much, he would do anything for Sarah; he would take a bullet for her and protect her with his life. However, I'm afraid she will be taken away from Clint Barton."
"Why do you say that?"
"My old friends and teammates from the X-Men are now on the move."
"What do you mean?"
"Professor X, who was my teacher, was afraid that Sarah wouldn't be able to control her powers along with the Phoenix at such a young age. We tried to force her to come to the school where she would be safe; however, that was not the case."
"What happened?"
"Sarah got angry from all the yelling and she didn't want to go. She wanted to stay with mom and dad, but the professor insisted she comes with us. At first I agreed with the professor, but then I quickly realized that it was a mistake, a mistake that I can't take back. The Phoenix was released for a brief moment until Sarah took back in control, but she ended up losing her memory of the night. A man named Nick Fury put Sarah and my parents in witness protection program so they wouldn't be tracked down by us or our enemies. Ever since then, we couldn't find her or my parents like they disappeared out of thin air, but it was for the better."
"I know that must have been hard for you my dear Jean, but now that she has resurfaced, you able to help her and watch over her. You had to do what you had to do."
"Thank you Hogun, I really appreciate that." We both smiled at each other and then turning our attention back to the new task that Odin has assigned us. "Now, the task is we go to Midgard and we aid Thor, Sarah and their friends to stop Loki's scheme." They all nodded in agreement. Sif was the first one to speak.
"When do we leave Lady Jean?" I looked towards Sif who was ready to fight and I couldn't help, but smile at her bravery. I looked at all the others who are also ready to fight and aid their friend Thor.
"We leave now. To Bifrost!"
