The next morning Gabrielle woke up to see not her brother or Aunt next to her, but Steve. She looked at him confused but was happy none the less that he is here. That's when she noticed that he is holding her hand, this caused her face to become red.
"Oh you're awake," Peter said, "Thank god you're alright."
"Peter? What happened?" Gabi asked. She cannot remember much of what had happened after the fight.
"Venom must have been able to hurt you, you passed out just before we got into the house."
"Oh, I'm sorry for worrying you."
"No worries, I think Steve was the most worried out of all of us."
"Was he here all night?"
"Yea, the doctors tried to get him to leave but he wouldn't leave your side."
Gabi blushed more at that and this caused Peter to laugh and wake Steve up.
"Gabrielle?" Steve asked seeing her awake.
"G-good morning Steve," Gabi whispered.
"Oh!" Steve jumped back, "S-sorry I...uh..."
His face was also red as he tried to say something.
"I'm glad to see you are doing better," Aunt May said walking in.
"Hi Aunt May," Gabi smiled, but soon it disappeared, "Peter what did you-?"
"She knows Gabi, she figured it out a while ago," Peter cut her off.
"Oh...I'm sorry Aunt May."
"No it is alright dear, I am just glad you are alright."
Gabi smiled at her but soon winced in pain, something was happening but she couldn't tell what.
"Gabrielle?" Steve asked, "Are you alright?"
"Y-yea, I'm fine," Gabi answered.
"You don't seem fine sis," Peter said.
"I'll go and get a doctor," Aunt May said leaving the room to find a doctor.
'What the hell is happening to me?' Gabi thinks as she trembles. The abilities that Red Skull had put in her were disappearing but what Zola had secretly added was coming to light.
Peter and Steve looked in fear and worry as Gabi's eyes began to flash a blue color. Gabi let out a scream of pain as the power bursted out of her causing Peter and Steve to be slammed into the walls.
"Gabrielle!" Steve yelled as the power surrounded her body.
"W-What is happening!?" Gabi yelled as she tried to contain the power.
"Sis calm down!" Peter yelled.
Gabi tried to calm herself, whatever power is inside of her is hard to contain. Slowly the power subsides and her eyes go back to their normal brown color. Peter looks at Steve in shock but Steve's eyes are wide with horror. That power is all too familiar, the Tesseract.
"Peter, we have to take her to the tower," Steve said.
"What? Why?"
"Trust me we have to, I will contact the others and SHIELD."
"Steve? What's wrong?" Gabi asked with fear in her voice.
"Don't worry Gabrielle, we will figure out what is going on."
Gabi and Peter look at each other confused but go along with it anyway. Steve contacted Fury and he sent Agents to pick them up and tell the doctors not to worry. Steve stayed at Gabrielle's side as did Peter as they made their way to the Tower, when they got to the tower Steve carried Gabrielle to the med bay where Bruce was waiting for them with other medics. Steve reluctantly left Gabrielle and went to the meeting room where the other Avengers were along with Peter, Fury and Agent Hill.
"So what exactly happened?" Fury asked.
"We aren't exactly sure, sir," Steve answered, "But I recognized the power that left Gabrielle's body."
"What was it?" Tony asked.
"I hope I am wrong, but the power looked exactly like the Tesseract."
"What?" Thor asked, "That cannot be possible, the Tesseract is in Asgard."
"We know that Thor, but what if they somehow they collected some of it's powers and were waiting for the right moment to use it," Natasha said.
"We will have to wait and see," Fury said.
Suddenly Bruce entered the room with a worried and horrified look on his face, this worried the others especially Steve, Peter and Tony.
"What is it Doctor Banner?" Fury asked.
"The power...it...it is exactly like the Tesseract," Bruce answered.
"But how is it possible?" Clint asked.
"I am not sure, but I know that it wasn't Red Skull or Green Goblin's idea since they wouldn't even know how to attach it to her DNA."
"What about her other powers?"
"They're gone, I would have to believe that Zola saw that her powers would disappear so he placed the Tesseract's power in her DNA."
"Well this is definitely not good, what are we going to do sir?" Natasha asked Fury.
"Thor, do you think your people will be able to help her?"
"I believe so yes," Thor said.
"Take her to Asgard to learn to control this new power."
"Yes sir."
Thor went to get Gabrielle but Peter stopped him.
"How long will she be gone for?" Peter asked
"However long it takes her to control her powers."
"But!"
"Peter, she needs to go," Steve said placing a hand on Peter's shoulder, "We won't be able to help her here."
Peter sighed and reluctantly nodded, Thor gathered Gabrielle and the two headed off to Asgard but not before Gabrielle hugged Peter and kissed Steve saying goodbye.
The Avengers watched her leave with Thor and hoped that she will be able to learn to control this new powers of hers.
