CHAPTER 5
3 DAYS LATER
Rainy days and black umbrellas. Reminds me of a song Melanie Martinez sang. But what's different here is the people i loved died, instead of those i'd like to kill. Bet you somebody's happy that they're dead, now that i'm an orphan again. Fury went with me to my parents funeral. Yup, they're both dead. I just don't understand how, and they just won't tell me the cause of death in details. I suspected something was in their drip, especially after the man i saw at 2 in the morning. I told them and they said they'll look into it but they never did. It was just ignored, whether intentionally or unintentionally. But now that their bodies are 6 feet under the earth, i guess the truth would never be found out then?
"so what will happen to me then?" i asked, as their coffins were covered with dirt. "will i get sent back to the orphanage?" and spend another 5 years there. I mean, who wants a 13 year old who's been unwanted twice?
"you could," replied fury "that is if you want to go back to that place." he said, glancing at me.
"no! I'd hate to go back there!"
"how about living with the avengers? I've asked, they're happy to take you in. You can live with them if you don't want to go back to the orphanage again."
"the avengers? Like the guys on TV running around saving the world?" more like running around putting my dad into prison
"running around, yes. Saving the world? Sometimes." he said as he flashed me a smile. Going back to the orphanage would be the last thing i ever wanted. Living with the avengers? Maybe that could get me closer to dad...?
"yes. Yes. I'd love to go and live with the avengers!" i said, faking an excited expression.
"so that's all sorted out then" he said, giving me a smile and a pat on the back. That made the rest of the funeral less intimidating and awkward. I felt rather excited actually, to be living with all these people, in this big family. 'child of the avengers', i thought and giggled. It sounded weird but also pretty fun too.
I was later escorted back to the avengers tower by John, the same driver that sent me back a few days ago. My heart pounded in my chest as i walked out of the car. It felt like i was born again. I had a new family, new environment and even a new name. Tyla Stark. I wanted to keep my first name, Anastasia, but it sounded odd with Stark. I also wanted to ...like...leave my life with the Nicklesons behind me. After all they weren't all good memories. But i couldn't help wondering whether the avengers would like me, afterall, i'm kind of their enemy's child. What if they didn't like me? I thought as i stepped through the glass doors.I guess i'm about to find out then.
