It has been a few weeks since the funeral of Carrie. And nothing interesting had been happening. Steve was still pestering Lexi about the Carrie Programme. After what happened with leading the mission with Carrie, she didn't want to be the leader of the programme. She could become the leader and end up killing everyone who arrives.
It was just a normal day. Sun and clouds. A normal day in New York City. Lexi managed to get some sleep a few days after the funeral. She felt at peace now Carrie was at peace. Lexi remembered when she let loose her emotions, she saw Carrie standing there. She looked happy for once. Carrie gave a smile and a nod. Lexi only guessed that was a thank you and she could pass on. But then she saw someone with brown hair. Long brown hair. A body like a woman, but she looked see through. She didn't know what she saw, or who it was. But it didn't matter anymore, because she hadn't seen the figure for a long time.
She let out a few breaths as she was sleeping. The duvet covering her naked body. Being naked in bed was a continuous thing for her and Pietro. But she didn't care. They loved each other. Goosebumps set on her body as she felt someone stroking her exposed back. A smile appeared on her face as she enjoyed the sensation.
"That feels good Pietro" she managed to mumble with her eyes closed. Pietro continued to drag his finger along her spine, he went lower towards her lower back and applied pressure. She frowned as the pressure was starting to hurt.
"Ow Pietro!" She turned around sharply and frowned as no one was there. "Pietro!?" She shouted. She looked around the room until Pietro came bursting into the room clothed.
"Is everything okay?" he asked worried, sitting on the bed.
"Was you just in the bedroom?"
"No, I was having breakfast why?"
"I felt something. Someone was, er, someone was dragging their finger along my spine, and then it started to hurt. I opened my eyes and nothing, but I was awake when it happened"
"Lex, I wasn't in the room. Ask the rest of them, I was actually cooking breakfast" he smiled proudly
"You? Cook breakfast?" she asked teasing "I'm joking, I could use some food, but something is going on"
"It's just your imagination Lexi. You haven't had a lot of sleep. Get dressed and come have some breakfast" he kissed her head before running out of the door. Glancing around the room and biting her lip, she sighed to herself, before managing to pull herself out of bed and getting dressed in some skinny jeans and a top. She felt herself being watched again, but she ignored it. It was just her imagination. She bent over to put her shoes on, and stood straight, and felt someone blow on the back of her neck. Turning around quickly, she blasted a telekinesis blast towards whatever or whoever was in the room. The lights in the room exploded, the bed lifted in the air but made its way back down to Earth with a loud bang, and the picture on the wall had become bent, like something had bent it. She walked towards the picture and frowned. the picture was broken in two, but there was a large shape, like a torso. No one was in the room, unless?..
The door burst open revealing Pietro and the team. Pietro's eyes glanced around the bedroom, he then rose his eyebrow.
"Was there an earthquake in our room?" he asked. Lexi frowned and then shook her head.
"No! There was something or someone watching me, I felt someone breathing on my neck. And then I used my telekinesis blast and looked at the picture. It's bent and there is a shape, like a shape of a body, a torso. I am not crazy. Pietro I am not crazy"
"Lexi, you haven't been sleeping, and not sleeping, you can become a little-"
"Crazy? You think I am crazy? I am either a bloody ticking time bomb or I am a lunatic! I can't win!" she shouted leaving the room. She headed to the balcony to clear her head and calm herself down.
The fresh air of New York City had started to calm her down. Leaning on the railings and closing her eyes, she needed to make sure she wasn't crazy.
"Mum, please, give me a sign I am not crazy" she said, potentially begging. As nothing happened she closed her eyes, but she felt the warm sun hit her body. She opened her eyes and smiled "thank you" she said.
Vision had walked onto the balcony and stood beside her.
"It's a nice day today" he said trying to make conversation. Lexi turned to him and sighed.
"No offense Vision, but I don't want your android advice, and for you to diagnose with being crazy. I don't need it. I am not crazy. Even my mother proved it" she said. "Do you think I am crazy?"
"There is a different between crazy and hallucinations. You haven't slept Lexi, your brain isn't bound to focus a lot of the time. You have been having a hard time, and you haven't been thinking straight. All you need to do is relax and take deep breathes"
Maybe Vision was right. Everything was getting to her head. But she knew she wasn't imagining things. Even her mother told her so.
"Vision I am not imaging things. Someone or something is playing with me, and I don't like it. I need food before I try and beat it's arse, who ever or whatever it is" She stated before walking back into the tower and heading to the bar. Instead of grabbing a glass of alcohol, she just needed cold water. She took a few gulps and placed the glass on the counter. She sighed to herself, holding onto the marble edges.
She then heard glass smash. She looked down seeing her glass and water smashed all over the kitchen floor. Frowning to herself, she looked up seeing the team looking at her.
"That was not me" she said
"Maybe you need to rest Lexi" Steve advised. She had enough. She walked towards them and stood in front of them
"I. AM. NOT. CRAZY!" She shouted so loudly, a screech came from her voice, smashing the lights, bursting the light bulbs, causing them to cover their ears. She quickly closed her mouth and frowned.
"What did I just do?" she asked herself.
"Er guys" Everyone's eyes turned to Sam who stood at the now broken glass door which lead to the balcony. He has his eyes on something on the ground. It was moving. She frowned seeing the ghostly image covering her ears from the pounding noise of what ever came from Lexi's mouth. The girl stood up and smirked at Lexi as she disappeared again.
"Mia?"
