A/N: This is the present. You are 25 and have been keeping a low profile and living a simple life.
"A black coffee for you sir?" you question certain that you are right.
"How do you do it? You always seem to know what I want. It's almost as if you can read my mind!" he asked incredulously.
If only he knew...
You offer a smile and hand him the change. Soon evening falls and your shift is up. You walk to your small apartment by the corner of your work place. You see Stark towers in the distance. The exterior looked slightly different . You get your key and realise the door was already open. You sense another person in your house. The thoughts of the stranger were dark and frightening. You keep your back to the wall and slowly inch inside. You flip the light switch with your mind and turn around to face yourself eye to eye literally. The dark man had one eye and another with a black eyepatch. You calm your racing heart.
"I mean you no harm" he assured.
"Stand back" you warn him.
He pays you no attention and was about to continue with his sentence when you fling him to the wall. You mentally hold him up and make sure that he can't move his limbs. The strange man looked at you angrily.
"Who are you?" you demand.
"Nick Fury. Director of S.H.I.E.L.D" he replied
The name and organisation seemed familiar and you realise the reason.
Your mind flashes back to last year.
AVENGERS. SOME CRAZY GOD. YOUR BROTHER NEARLY DYING.
-Flashback-
You watch from a distance with your binoculars. Your brother seemed to be talking to some guy in a green gold suit. A while later you see him falling out of the building. You try to slow his fall from where you are when you see his suit flying after him. You let out the breath you were holding. Soon a portal opened and something like an alien army spills out of it. You see a group of people prepared to fight. You wanted to help them but that would be attracting attention to yourself, so you remain in the dark alley and watch from the distance. Your brother flew off somewhere and returned with a missile of some sort. He propelled it into the portal and you manage to establish a mental connection with him after some effort. You realise that he is planning to throw it at the alien ship. You look around and realise that these aliens are under the influence of something and that something should be on that ship. If that missile blows and the control dies there would be no way to stop this army. You desperately push yourself into the control and try to influence it to self destruct its army. Your head hurts and it feels like it is going to explode when you see the aliens falling over one by one. You relax your mind and it stings badly. You realise you have stretched your power to its max.
You look up to find the portal closing and Tony was still nowhere in sight. You tense and grit your teeth in pain and focus on your brother. You pick up thoughts of dying and failure. You desperately try to pull him back. Reading thoughts is easier than moving objects especially something heavy and so far away. You know that you cannot give up and with the last of your strength you manage to pull him back defying the laws of science. You see him falling back to the ground and you pass out.
-Present-
Your head hurt just thinking about it.
"You done there?" he questioned
You realise that you have been pressing him against the wall too hard.
You release him and he falls with a thud.
"What the do you want from me?"
"I am here to recruit you for the avengers."
You release him and decide to follow but if he tries anything funny you aren't going to let him live.
A/N:
After watching the avengers, all of us were wondering how the heck Iron Man fell back to Earth and I hate the whole kill the head alien and all the others die cliche so I decided to explain that. (Yes I am a fan of CinemaSins)
