He told me he saved me. He held me and comforted me as I looked at my planet, my home, everything I loved- be destroyed. "I saved you from that" he told me. And I had no reason not to believe him.
Kara sat on a white leather sofa and looked around the room idly. An impressive home bar sat to the right of her, and to her left was floor to ceiling windows, revealing a much-coveted view of New York city. She was in the Stark Industries tower, and the view from it should have been the most interesting thing to look at. However, in front of Kara sat a god, dressed in golden armor and a crimson cape. "What did you say your name was again?" Kara asked in an awkward attempt to make conversation. A deep voice came from the bearded god, "My name is Thor Odinson, God of Thunder."
Kara nodded, and returned her view out the window. She knew they were talking about her in whispers from the other room. She could sense it, and every so often, one of them would raise their voice and she could hear her name being spoken.
After the battle, the red suited man had introduced himself to her. He was Tony Stark, a billionaire here in New York, as well as a mechanical genius, designing and building the suit that allowed him to fly and shoot missiles. He used to design weapons, but this time he turned himself into the weapon. But of course, Kara knew who he was. He was something of a legend not only in New York, but all over the country. Word of him and his band of superhuman colleagues had even spread to other planets. Stark had invited Kara back to the tower to get to know her, although Kara quickly realized it was more so to determine how much of a threat she and her powers might be.
"Your strength is exceptional, I have never seen nor beheld such strength before," Thor's deep voice interrupting Kara's thoughts, "Except, of course, from myself as I wield Mjölnir." Kara cocked her head to the side in confusion. Thor held up the hammer in his hand as reply. They had been sitting in silence over 15 minutes. Kara was grateful for a bit of conversation. "So, are you one of them? The 'Avengers'?" Kara asked, again already knowing the answer.
"Yes. As prince of Asgard, I am deemed to be protector of the nine realms. Earth is one of them, thus it is my duty to protect it."
"Then how come you aren't in the meeting room with the rest of them? Do you have orders to babysit me?"
"The God of Thunder does not take orders!" Thor boomed in pride, then softened, "It's just that I do not feel the need to discuss all matters to no end. I leave that to the humans. Earth is not my home, so I leave the decisions for earth to them."
"Earth isn't my home either." Kara replied, returning he gaze out the window. Thor looked intently at her, "Then, where do you come from?"
Interrupting them before she could answer, Stark entered the room, beside him the one they called Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and a man Kara couldn't place. The captain walked straight up to her with an outstretched hand and Kara stood to greet him. Shaking her hand, the captain said, "I've just been briefed on what went down out there, I'm just sorry I didn't get a chance to see it for myself. I was fighting my own batch of aliens when I saw those giant ships go down. I wondered who in the heck could have brought down beasts like those, and imagine my surprise when- anyway, it's good to meet you. I'm Steve."
"I'm Kara. Its good to meet you too. I've learned all about you in school. My history professor loves you. I can't believe I am actually meeting you."
"So, wait, you have heard about this guy who fought in one war, but not a literal god of myth and legend, who has defeated countless foes across the realms?" Thor stood in disbelief.
The other man Kara didn't recognize introduced himself, as the group collectively ignored Thor's question. "Hi, I'm Bruce. We didn't get a chance to meet before."
Kara shook his hand, "Yeah, I don't think I saw you during the fight down there."
Bruce smiled a little embarrassed and glanced at the floor before replying, "Yeah, you might have met the other guy—" "Big, green, smashing," Tony cut in, "Kara, I think we need to talk. We need to know who you are and what the hell was going on down there."
"I have seen some unbelievable things in my life…" Black Widow, the woman who had joined in the fight against the aliens, added walking towards the semicircle of curious heroes forming around Kara, "but what you did takes the cake."
Stark continued, "How is it possible for a human to have that kind of strength and indestructability? I mean, I saw a couple thousand-ton piece of machinery crash on to you, and you stood up without a scratch." The group of Avengers stood around Kara, waiting for her response. Before she could answer, Thor's voice came from the other side of the room "It is because she is not human."
This is my first time posting anything I have written. I am just a casual fan of the MCU, and I want to incorporate some of the characters into my story. However, it will mostly be focused on Kara, my own character. I have the rest of the story planned out, I just hope Ill be able to finish writing it. I hope through trying to tell this story that I develop and strengthen my writing style. Enjoy!
