A/N: hi, f here. sorry it took so long to get this one out, i kind of left you with a cliffhanger. I hope you enjoy, I don't own the avengers, and I hate wednesdays.

Carmen's POV

When I could see again, I was standing in a room that I recognized. It had dark purple peeling wallpaper, and a bunk bed with itchy brown blankets. It had one window, with the blinds drawn tightly. I was all alone, but I could hear voices in the hallway. I knew where I was. It was my old room at the orphanage.

"I dunno, Sam." I jumped. It was my voice. "I think we could get in a lot of trouble for that."

"Exactly!" It was Sam. And then the door burst open, and I dove behind it. Sam came in first, but she looked different. Her hair was shorter, and her nose was unbroken. She was pulling me behind her, or a younger version of me at any rate. My hair was more grown out, and I was shorter. I closed the door behind us, not even noticing me, if that makes sense.

"Hey!" I said. "Over here." But they didn't hear me. I put a hand on Sam's shoulder, but it passed right through her. I gasped, clapping my hands to my mouth. I leaned against the wall, and watched as young Sam and I plopped down on our bunks.

"It would be fun! And besides, its not like we have anything better to do this weekend. Sneak out, borrow some bikes-"

"Borrow?"

"We would return them after! Drive out to…. Anyplace nice really, enjoy the fresh air, and get back before anyone notices!"

"Adana would have a heart attack. We should think of something legal to do this weekend." It was then that the door flew open again. Adana stood there, long overcoat on as usual, hands on hips, and scowl on her face.

"Come on you two." Adana said. "There's two new girl's, and we're supposed to be introducing them to everybody." Sam rolled her eyes, but she and I both stood up.

"Hey!" I said, trying again to touch my younger self as she made for the door. This time she noticed me, but as she turned, everything else in the room froze. Sam and Adana stopped mid step, Sam's mouth open as she talked. Younger me's face was frozen like a mask. Suddenly everything around us was darkening. The wallpaper was tumbling to the floor, the bunk bed sinking down into the floor. Adana and Sam were gone.

"Your dreaming Carmen." The younger me said in a dull flat voice. "Your dreaming, and its time to wake up."

Hi, sorry this chapter is so short and so weird. It doesn't really have any relevance to the story but I wanted to write it so yeah.
