Unexpected

X

Tony and Ultron engaged in a mid-air fight, leaving the rest of them to fight the Maximov's. This might have seemed easy, but the boy was incredibly fast and the girl could move objects with her mind. Soon enough, Klaw's men were shooting at them, which made things slightly more complicated. 

Nina and Clint had been separated frim the rest, fighting against the soldiers in a corner. 

"Thor, status," Steve asked. 

"The girl tried to warp my mind. Take special care, I doubt a human could resist it," Thor told them. "Fortunately, I am mighty." And he went silent. 

Just as Nina kicked the last guy down, the Maximov girl appeared in front of her eyes and used her powers on her. It didn't do anything at first, but in a blink of an eye, the world changed around her. 

The sky was orange, and so was everything around her. It took her a second to realize that everything was simply on fire. And another one to realize where she was. There was a war blooming around her, the war of her people. Everything sounded.. muffled. Maybe because this was all just a memory, but memories didn't fell like this. This felt... it felt real. Too real. 

There were screams. She could definitely make out screams. She couldn't tell if they were men's or children's screams, but either one would make sense, seeing as no one had escaped the wrath of her enemies. This was beyond war, it was a massacre. A massacre only she could stop. A massacre she had failed to stop. 

"You left us," spoke a voice. She turned around and saw her father. His hands bloody, along with his clothes. Nina froze on the spot. She hadn't been there in her family's las moments. "You left us to die, Nina. You said you'd come back with help, and you never did. This is what you did." He stepped aside and she could see her brother Koschei. Lifeless. Dead. That's whose blood was on her father's hands. "This is all your fault!" He yelled out, charging towards her. Nina flinched, closing her eyes, and as she opened them back up, the scenery shifted once more, making her lose balance and fall on her knees. 

"Why did you do this to me?" said a man. Nina didn't recognize him at first, but her heart fell when she did. Private Grant, the youngest of her men. One of the first to die when they raided the first existing Hydra base in 1942. "You led us straight into a massacre. You should have known."

Nina knew she had been under orders. She knew that it hadn't been her decision to go to the base, but right now, she couldn't think straight. The boy stood up and punched her. Hard. She didn't fight back. He punched her again. And again. And again. Until she decided she had had enough. When she went to punch her again, Nina raised her arm and grabbed his hand. She opened her eyes and discovered she had changed places once more. 

She was holding a woman's hand. A Timelord. 

"Wake up," the woman told her. Nina frowned. This woman was like her, she realized. She was a seer too. "Wake up now." 

The woman put a finger to Nina's temple and a shrieking pain passed through her body. She saw images, flashes. At first she didn't recognize them, but then she understood. The woman was showing her stones. The infinity stones. One was still in Loki's scepter. A face flashed in front of her eyes, red and grey, a yellow stone on it's forehead. Another flash and she saw a man dressed in red robes, the green stone in his locket. 

The woman let go of her head and Nina gasped for air, coughing hard. 

"What was that? Who are you?"

"You know what to do," was all the woman told her. "Now wake up, you have duties to fulfil."

And with another painful flash, Nina opened her eyes.
