I do not own any of the Avengers characters except Jessica.
This fan fiction probably will not follow the Avengers movie plot.
Chapter 1: Waking Up
The moon shined brightly in the night sky, it's light outlining my body and the landscape around me. Although I was completely alone I didn't feel that way, perhaps it was the moonlight that shined down on me that made me feel this way. It made the dark seem less lonely and more beautiful and bright. My gaze flickered slightly away from the moon and towards the crystal blue stars that surrounded it beautifully in the dark night sky. I was lying on my back in the dirt while stared up at the moon and I moved my shoulders against the the ground then I felt the cold dirt moved with them. I listened to my breathing as the wind blew by in the night and caressed my face thoroughly. And minute after minute ticked by as I lay there motionless staring up at the bright, white, shining moon.
I couldn't stay like this for long. I could feel the thoughts bubbling in a small corner of my mind: Where am I? How did I get here? Why am I here? But the questions weren't enough for me to find an incentive to finally move.
In the distance my ears caught the sound of a smooth sounding car engine and wheels against a road. Turning my head to the right I saw the layout of the land and I recognized it to be a desert. My eye brows pulled themselves slightly together at the sight of desert plants. Why am I in the desert? I asked myself. The sound of the car was getting and so I received my incentive. I set up and saw that the desert went on a lot further and going through it was a long road with a wall of rocks on the other side of it. And the engine of the car that I heard could be seen coming down the road, it's headlights catching my eyes' attention even more.
The car I heard was a survival wake up call and caused me think straight and act. Finding myself in the desert alone wasn't my idea of a good situation. So I stood up quickly on weak legs and glanced back at the desert that was lit brilliantly by the moon. I knew that if I didn't want to be left stranded out here with the wild animals and bugs I better get moving. Lucky for me there was a car coming my way and I looked towards it and started sprinting as fast as I could in its direction on legs that were half asleep. I didn't waste any energy waving my arms in the air until I got close enough to it. When I saw that it was a very new model of a white Mustang I knew that I was close enough and so now I stood at the edge of the road so I started to wave my arms.
"Hey! Over here! Hey! I need help!" I yelled as I jumped up and down while still waving my arms. In a swift motion the car passed me by so fast that I felt the wind wind that it made hit my face and my legs. Its head lights had blinded my eyes for a moment than they were quickly replace with the sight of the car's red glowing tail lights.
"No!" I shouted at it then I twisted my mouth and scowled at it in disappointment. I looked back to where it came from hoping that another car was coming my way again. Unfortunately all I saw was an empty road. I can't believe this is actually happening to me. Okay calm down ,don't cry, don't A loud uneasy cry was starting to come from my throat but then when that I had started to let out it turned into a yelp and my body jerked in surprise when I heard a voice.
"You know it's considered not smart to stand on the side of the desert at night, while you're alone." the voice of a smug sounding man said near me. Turning my head to my left I saw the white Mustang that has passed me and my mouthed opened not to say something but in surprise. They must have come back and pulled to the side of the road when I wasn't looking.
Although I was very grateful for him to have turned around that didn't mean that I was going to throw caution to the wind. So sent I said a silent prayer, please don't be a rapist or murderer... Or both. Then I started to walk along the rocks and small desert plants near the road until I got to the driver's side. The side of his face that was facing the window had a dull blue glow as it was lit up by the moon. When I came next to the opened window he looked up at me then turned on the light on the ceiling in his car and so I saw him clearly. He was a good-looking older man that strangely I recognized, when he turned his face completely to me my breath hitched in my chest and I was overcome with excitement. I must have had some expression on my face because he looked at me and smiled.
"Oh my goodness! Ah!" I said.
"Yes, I am Tony Stark." He said casually.
"You're Robert Downey Jr!" I said excitedly and he lifted his eyebrows.
"No... I'm Tony Stark." He said and I gave him a strange look. "You know of Stark Industries..." He added and I still gave him the same face, why was he using his character's name? "Well if you don't know welcome to the planet Earth." He said and I just nodded my head as I was still overwhelmed that I am seeing one of the biggest stars right in front of my eyes. I didn't understand why he was pretending to be his character, but hey! He's Robert Downey Jr. so I just shrugged it off and agreed.
"Okay." I said breathless and he looked up at me.
"So you're obviously stranded." He said. I looked back at the desert and nodded. What was I doing here anyway?
"Um,yes. Could you help me please?" I asked.
"Yeah that's why I came back. I got a good look at you. A young girl hitch hiker has less of a chance of being a murderer. Unfortunately for me you're too young to have a little ... Nevermind, I guess I could wing it and still help you." I smiled and nodded at him. Then he stared at me as if he was waiting for something. "Well no need to rush to your savior. It's not like I have any other appoints. I'll turn off the car and we can stay here all night." He said. Oh his sarcasm is off the chart I thought as I stared at him with an uncertain expression.
"Look i'm just kidding. But what are you waiting for? Come on I do have somewhere to be." He said making gestures with his left hand that was sticking out of the car window.
"Right sorry!" I said. Then I speed walked around to the passenger side and before got inside I thanked god that wasn't going to be stuck out here. And I would like to just add that as soon as I sat down and closed the door my body sunk right into the chair after he drove off. Apparently he likes to pick up female hitchhikers and drive as fast as possible.
