Nova

Running

I've been on the run for about a decade now, from who? I've been running from HYDRA. They tortured me, it was worse than death all because I have this ability to move things with my mind as well as read others thoughts and control them at times, I can send messages through my mind too. They took me from my family, they stripped me of my life. They made me immortal, I'm 98 years old but I'm trapped inside of a 16 year old's body.Ever since I escaped I've never looked back.
That's why I sit here in a diner at 3 A.M. it's the only time I can get out of the house without feeling like someone is constantly watching me. I sat at a table in the corner facing away from the door with a cup of coffee and a book.There was no one else around except an older man who seemed to be a truck driver taking a brake from his job. The bell jingled signalling someone else has entered the diner, I didn't bother turning around. Instead I just continued reading my book.
I felt someone enter my head. I wasn't alarmed seeing as it was a warm presence if it was HYDRA they would already be dragging me out the door. Still, I don't want someone messing around in my head.
' you better leave my head while you still can.' I sent a telepathic message to whoever it was.
It seemed to have worked, they left. I went back to my book. Then, I was interrupted by some-one sitting across from me. I looked up, It was a female with long brown hair and big eyes that stared into mine, which returned the favor.
I smiled at her "Can I hel-"
"How did you know that I was in your head, normal people can't tell." She interrupted me.
I shrugged, "I guess i'm not normal."
Her eyes narrowed, "You guess?" She had a confused look on her face
I could tell she wasn't evil. If she wanted to kill me she would've done it.
I nodded my head.
There was silence for a while.
She broke the silence, "Oh I've read this book it's nice, I suggest looking at page 5." Then she left.
'what?' I thought to myself. I turned to page five and a napkin fell out.
It read,
' My name is Wanda, we can't talk here it isn't safe. There is only one agency that puts that much fear into a human like you and that is HYDRA. I can keep you safe, I'll be in the car right outside."
I folded the napkin into my pocket.It took me a while to think it over but Wanda never left. I decided I'm tired of running and hiding, I left a tip on the table and left.
Wanda was waiting in a car. I jumped into her passengers seat and she drove away.
"So who are you? What's your story?" she asked as we drove.
I sighed softly. Thinking about my past is one of my least favorite things to do but there wasn't any avoiding the question, she might drop me off on the side of the road and I really need to have someone protecting me right now."My name is Nova. I'm like you Wanda, I can get into others' heads, I can move things with my mind. I've been like this for as far as I can remember..... However, I can't remember very far. HYDRA kidnapped me when I was 12. I'm not sure if they gave me my powers or if I was born with them.The only memories I have are filled with pain. I do know one thing... they made me immortal, so no matter how much i wished for them to just kill me they couldn't. They used me to fight their battles and to do their dirty work." I explained the best I could.
"That's why I couldn't read your thoughts.. HYDRA must've put something in your head." she suggested as she tried to take everything in.
I looked down, " It wouldn't be the first time."
I could feel her gaze on me the whole 3 hours that we drove.
We arrived at this huge tower that read 'avengers'. Wanda motioned for me to follow her in, which I did. I bit down hard on my lip as we got inside an elevator. Maybe I shouldn't have trusted someone just because they don't have a bad vibe.
"Jarvis did everyone get my message?" She asked into the elevator, which is odd. but what's even odder is that it responded 'yes'.
This is really starting to feel like a trap now. The doors slid open into a beautiful room with a glass wall and red furniture. I was so amazed with the room I almost didn't notice there were lots of people sitting everywhere.
I stood next to Wanda in the center of every-one. I looked at all their faces. One man was cooking in the kitchen but I couldn't see his face.
"Nova?!" A man with a metal arm asked. There was a crash in the kitchen which sounded like pans falling.The man with a metal arm gave me a huge hug and almost began crying, I'd never seen him before. That's when I saw the man in the kitchens' face. He came running into the room.
"Steve!?" I looked at him in disbelief and pushed the guy with a metal arm off of me. I jumped on Steve. The guy with the metal arm looked hurt.
"Nova." Steve whispered as I let go of him.
I looked to find that every-one was watching the reunion go on.
That's when I looked at the half metal man, he was still frozen with hurt. "She doesn't remember me." He whispered to Steve.
