Thor started to pack his things, ready to go to Asgard. He really didn't want to leave Sera in her time of adjustment. After Sera's little incident she went straight to the infirmary with Bruce. He helped her arm and asked her questions to get a better understanding of what happened. It seems her brain had an overload of power and such as that. Sera seemed to get along well with Bruce. He felt safer with leaving her with the "Amazing Hulk". He'd protect her. They all promised Thor they will. He knew he could trust them...right?

"Do you really have to go?" Sera asked, appearing in his doorway, snapping Thor out of his thoughts. Her pitch-black hair was pulled back by a headband, she was wearing shorts and a long-sleeved shirt. She looked shorter in shorts. Thor gave a sad smile at her. Even when she was younger she hated saying goodbye.

"I will be back very soon."

"How long?" She played with her hair.

"Maybe a week..could be slightly longer. " He saw her face drop, causing his heart to break. "Do not be upset, I will be back before you know it. I will make the visit quick, just for you."

"Promise?"

"Promise." He smiled once she did. "The rest will be having a movie night tonight, join them."

"I will...Are you leaving right after you pack?"

"Yes." She nodded and went to hug him. She tightly wrapped her arms around him and he wrapped his arms around her waist. "I will miss you, PhiPhi." He spoke. Before she could respond there was a knock on the door. They broke apart, revealing Natasha. "Is everything alright?" Thor asked knowing Natasha wouldn't interrupt unless it was important.

"I'm sorry..Bruce wanted to see Sera..." Natasha said and Sera nodded.

"Have fun." Sera smiled at Thor, leaving the room.

"She really is something, isn't she?" Natasha said and smiled. "I wanted to give you this." Natasha handed Thor something. He opened his hand to see a picture. More like two pictures. It was of Sera. She was in her training uniform. In the picture, it only showed half of her body. Her hair was down, passing her shoulders slightly, with a huge smile on her face. The outfit was a little more low cut and emphasized more than Thor liked but she was a teenager. His PhiPhi has grown. She was the most beautiful teenager he has ever seen. "There's two copies of that picture. One for you and the second for anyone who loves her enough to get a picture." Natasha spoke.

And Thor knew exactly who she meant.

"You needed me?" Sera asked Bruce and he nodded.

"I wanted to check out your arm. Does it sting?" Sera froze at the question. It stung like crazy. It hurt like a bitch, but she refused to show it. He can't see it.

"Not really. I think it's fine.." She lied. She didn't want to expose her arm. She didn't want to show her wrists. Bruce noticed her hand clutching the sleeve...What is wrong with her? He thought.

"Sera...Are you all alright? Let me see."

"No, please-" He grabbed her arm, lifting her sleeve. The cuts. Dozens and dozens of cuts. One on top of the other.

"Oh, God," Bruce yelled, getting a wet towel to clean some cuts. "How long have you been doing this?"

"A couple of years.."

"These will scar you. Shit..."

"I'm sorry." She looked away. Bruce looked at her. She is so young.

"I get it," Bruce said and gave her a warm smile. "You did most right in the perfect spot but never deep enough to kill. You're afraid? That's okay."

"I want it all to end sometimes.." She whispered. Bruce felt tears form in his eyes and sighed.

"One day I shot a bullet through my head. I lived. And I am thankful for that. It won't let me die. This." He lifted her arm "This hasn't killed you. It makes you stronger...Why have you been doing this for years?"

"I..I can't you're going to-"

"I won't think of anything. I won't tell anyone. I promise." Bruce said getting her a tissue.

"I was 12 when I started. I...Everyone seemed to love my older non-related fucking sister. I don't even want to call her that. My mother, or do I call her that? Well, she never liked to look at me, my father, or whatever, would yell and hit me. My mother use...She used to lock me in my room for days without anything. No food..No water. I thought I was so meaningless. I had this friend. His name was Gustavo, a really odd name. His mother told me it was Norse...Anyways We would sneak out through my window and hang out, party, pretend we were tough shit...We were kids. We thought that just in a few years it'd be over. We would be free, ya know? Maybe for him it was true, but me? I guess I will never have a chance at the life we took for granted to imagine...Anyways, I got victimized at school as the weird sister. Why did I have black hair? Why was I in the smart classes while my sister, although loved by all teachers, failed every year? Why did I like hanging around with guys? They use to make rumors saying I was some slut. But I wouldnt..I just hung out with two people really. Gus and this kid Adrian. I didn't really have much of a friend list. Then powers came in class one day...It was the worst day of my life. Gus always stayed with me, his parents took me in...And the thing is they all knew. They gave me hope.." Tear flooded her eyes and she sighed. The years passed with just dealing with it. But one day, like 6 months ago, Gus walked me home...And there was a load of people. Ready to take me. I screamed and cried. I set the house on fire though I didn't mean it. Good thing everyone was already outside. I started to go nuts. Gus tried to tell my family that they would take me in...He fought so hard to keep me but they took me. " She sobbed. "I was beaten every day in that asylum, I was drugged...I barely knew what I was doing half the time. I thought there was no hope for me. Until the day you guys called. I thought I was going to die but look where I am now. To think I almost died last year, when that alien invasion happened. I was praying for it but someone found my cut-up body and took me to the hospital...I guess I was meant to live."

"Seraphina, you're here now and you're safe. You are here for a reason and everything will be alright. Trust me, I'm the biggest example of that. We won't ever let anyone take you, understand?" She nodded. "Come on let's go with the others before Tony throws a bitch fit." He said making Sera laugh. Maybe it will be okay while Thor is gone.
