There was an emergency meeting called between all of the Avengers. Everyone I had met with: Natasha, Clint, Tony, Bruce and Thor was sitting around the table. Captain America, as he is widely known, otherwise known as Steve Rogers, was there as well as Director Fury. This scared me, I didn't think my powers were that big of a deal. A man I recognized as Agent Jasper Sitwell was sitting in the corner taking notes. He wore silver framed glasses and his head was completely bald, or shaved. Once we had sat down all eyes turned to me. I took a deep breath.

"So, pretty much, I can see all of your thoughts in words floating above your heads. I can sense your feelings and I can control all of it, change your moods, your mindset, even your thoughts. It's really easy. It's… It's almost like I see a diagram of of your thoughts and I can rearrange them to my liking. That's essentially what I did with Bruce when…. When the big guy came out."

Stifling silence invaded the room. I looked at the floor. I wasn't sure if I wanted to see their thoughts. Then I shook my head and looked up. Whatever they were saying, I could take it. My eyes flickered around the room.

Steve: Poor thing, she seems really afraid.

Tony: Is she going to tell them?

Natasha: What does this mean for the thing with Loki?

Clint: Hmmm…

Thor: This is certainly interesting.

Fury: Well this is going to be a whole lot of trouble.

Bruce: The idea of her powers reminds me of what I've heard about recent experimentation. Giving humans powers similar to what she's describing.

"It's not like that." I murmured.

"What?" The whole group responded.

"Your statement, Doctor Banner, they're not like the experimentations. I read that profile, the experiments are about people being able to induce hallucinations, as well as telekinesis. I doubt that I can induce hallucinations, but I can manipulate minds. Make people think what I want them to think. I haven't tried but I can probably manipulate people physically as well."

I looked at them for a moment before I realized they all had very confused expressions on their faces.

"My apologies, Bruce was thinking it."

They exchanged a set of worried glances.

"This is a very powerful set of abilities." Fury stated. "And personally I'm not sure if I like the idea of you being able to snoop around in anyone's brain whenever you want."

"I agree." Tony said, leaning forward.

I laughed. "It's not like I can help it. I can't make it go away just like Steve can't make his super strength go away or Banner can make the Hulk stop."

Steve nodded. "She has a valid point."

"My question is do you have any idea where you got these powers?" Natasha asked.

I looked down at my bandaged ankle which Doctor Banner had taken care of after he'd been restored and gotten a change of clothes.

"No, I-" I had trouble finishing because of a flash flood of forgotten memories.

Well they weren't forgotten, just repressed, if I ever thought of them I would always shove them away and ignore them. That was what would happen every time I would remember the kidnapping. I remembered it vividly. I was ten, on the way home from school. I felt rough hands grab me from behind. They made me pass out with a sweet smelling cloth. I woke up in a dark place. I felt needles poking me all over even some in my skull. I couldn't move, couldn't speak, I could only feel. I could feel cold fluids flowing into my body from the needles. I could hear people speaking, quiet sharp voices. I remembered everything becoming overwhelming. I could see things. But I couldn't handle it, I was getting hot. My head felt like it was being baked in an oven. The voices spoke urgently. I could feel the air moving around me as they tried to fix what was going on. The heat faded. The next thing I could remember was my parents ripping my blindfold off of me, hugging me and crying.

I jolted back into the present. Everyone was staring at me with concerned expressions.

"I do know what it was." I said quietly. "I don't know if it was in your records, but I was kidnapped when I was ten." I went on to explain what had happened.

Once I finished that I told them about my parents.

"My parents were in some kind of agency. I was never allowed to know. All I knew was that they were important figures in the organization, I had to get good grades to reflect them. I know it wasn't Shield they were apart of."

"Your parents being high up in that organization might have prompted your kidnapping." Steve said reassuringly. "As for the experimentation, something like that happened to a close friend of mine in the past."

I nodded slowly, I knew exactly who Steve was talking about but I chose not to say anything about it.

"Hydra, they were the ones who did that." Natasha said. "Do we have any information on recent activity from them?"

"No, I helped destroy part of Hydra. Peggy.." He stopped for a second. I could see the sadness in his thoughts, he was thinking about all of the people he had lost. I wanted to ease his feelings somehow. His grief, it was so powerful it was invading my own thoughts. "Peggy took care of the rest of them."

Good god, he was so sad.

"Just because you cleared them out doesn't mean there aren't still people out there who share their ideas or are a part of it." Clint grimaced.

"Yeah, I agree. Some jerks are really good at camouflaging their actions and making them seem like they're for something else." Tony said.

"Do you think it was Hydra who kidnapped me?" I asked.

"It sounds likely. For now I want you to take tomorrow to think. I've been told it's a bit of a surreal experience to suddenly have superpowers." Fury nodded to Steve. "Be ready to come back to work Monday. You'll meet with Agent Romanov as planned. Meanwhile I'll look into the past of your parents and let you know my findings after your session with Loki. Everyone is dismissed."

I stood up just as everyone else did. I wanted to talk to Steve, I wasn't sure why, but I knew he had something in his mind which made me want to talk to him.

"Steve!" I called once we got into the hallway.

He turned. He was confused, wasn't sure why I wanted to talk to him after the meeting was over.

"Hi, Steve, , Cap, whichever you prefer. Listen, I was hoping I could talk to you."

"Why?" he asked.

"Well honestly, there's just something about you. Something in your mind that interests me, but I can't figure out what it is. I was hoping you could shed a bit of light on what it was."

He was alarmed at this.

"You've been reading my mind?"

"Well I can't really help it." I laughed. "Your thoughts float right above your head and I can feel what you're feeling."

He stared at me for a moment.

"Let me walk you home."
