《Run To You | Pietro Maximoff [1] ✓》SEVEN
Advertisement
I pushed myself off from the bed I was seated on and turned surveying the room. It was the exact same place I had had to suffer in for who knows how long.
The room was completely dark and didn't have a single source of light. Here were no lamps or bulbs or even a window. The only piece of furniture was the bed I had been sitting on. It was cold. So cold that my breath plumed in front of me.
Recovering from the initial shock of finding myself here, I quickly walked to the door. I grabbed the door knob which was also cold and turned it. Unsurprisingly, it was locked.
The panic hit me all of a sudden. My calm facade slipped and I grabbed hold of the knob again and turned it over and over again, but the door still didn't budge.
"No, no, no!" I cried out as I kept turning it as if it might suddenly open.
I finally let go of the knob and stepped back, looking around the place trying to find another place to get out from. There was no other way. I turned to the door again and ran forward hitting it hard. I kicked the door over and over again but the door still wouldn't open.
Tears pricked my eyes and ran down my face as I kept hitting the door. "Let me out!" I shouted, my voice breaking at the last word.
I hit the door again and was surprised when a click sounded. The door swung open to reveal two people standing on the other side. My eyes went wide and I quickly took a couple of steps back into the room.
"Get her on the bed," the woman said in a clear voice as she stepped back to allow the man inside.

My father stepped into the room and gently placed a hand on my shoulder, "onto the bed Clarke," he said softly.
I pushed his hand away from me and stepped back , trying to get out from around him. He grabbed my arm, this time harder than before and pulled me forward towards the bed. I struggled against his hands, pushing and screaming all the while.
He dragged me to the bed and tightened the straps around my wrist and ankles and my forehead. I struggled against the binds even though I knew it was absolutely no use.
My father stepped back from the bed and my mother took his place. "I don't know how many times we have to tell you Clarke," she started talking as she sorted through he tools on a tray she held, "all of this will be worth it one day. You'll be something very special. It's called the greater good."
I kept struggling against the binds, my breaths quickening every time she picked up a tool. Finally, she grabbed a syringe and a bottle. She filled it up with the clear liquid in the bottle and examined it for a while.
I struggled harder as she lowered the syringe towards me. There was a sting as the needle pierced my skin and a numbness for a second before the pain started.
"Clarke!" Clint's voice shouted.
My eyes to see Clint sitting next to me. He had a worried look on his face. One of his hands were wrapped around a dazed looking Natasha and the other was reaching towards me. At first, unable register what had happened I pushed myself away from him, struggling against his hands as he tried to grab hold of me.
"Hey! It's me!" Clint shouted, "it's OK!"

I froze. Clint stayed still for a second too before leaning forward and pulling me into his arms. I didn't struggle against his warm embrace instead moving closer to him. Tears spilled from uncontrollably from my eyes as I sat there feeling utterly helpless. I hated that feeling.
Clint gently stroked his hand through my hair, mumbling quietly that I was fine.
A couple of minutes later, I was sitting on one of the seats in the Quintet with a blanket wrapped tightly around me, courtesy of Clint. Everyone else seemed quite shaken by whatever they had seen as well.
I pressed my cheek against the cool window and gazed outside as we flew past the clouds. We were up too high to see any buildings or well, anything really, so I had no idea where we were or where we were headed.
The sound started getting loud again. I could hear people breathing, cloth rubbing against the seat as someone shifted and the sound of the engine filled my ears. I pressed my hands over my ears, trying to make everything quiet down, but I had no control over my powers at the moment. Whatever Wanda Maximoff had done to me affected my powers as well.
A couple of seconds passed before the sound got quiet and I sucked in a deep breath. I leant against the window again.

Sorry for the awkward ending. But anyway, here's the new chapter. I'm not really happy with this one. I rewrote this about three times but couldn't really write it the way I actually wanted to . This was the best out of the three so I hope you enjoy it!

Discord here: https://discord.gg/y8SPvutqyb (This link is finally one that won't expire... yay and all!)Kade Wilson is a retired Cop and an competitive Gamer. For the last 4.5 years he has held the number #1 spot on the VR World Games List. And while he did not win his last championship game he struck it rich. And to top it all off he is approached to be one of 500k hand-selected beta testers for an entirely new kind of game, an offer that he is incapable of refusing. Now he is trying to make money, take possession of relict find, stop pirates from harrassing them... all while trying to figure out who is a friend and who isn't. This is a work in progress and largely unedited. There shouldn't be too many spelling and grammar mistakes in there but then again, I am just the writer... Bear with me or contact me if you find something that is just too bad for you. Actually, I appreciate any reports of errors (spelling or continuity) that you find and let me know about. In the discord I have a dedicated channel for these reports. If you don't want to join... I do read the chapter comments. ;)There is one thing I want to point out though. And that is that I chose to place this story in a LitRPG and game universe so it doesn't have to be 100% scientifically correct. Also: Clarke's 3rd law!

Children of the Sun
Abigaël Chase, an ordinary physicist with an ordinary life on Earth got transported to another world. A world of magic and war, a world where death was never very far. She unexpectedly survived for many years thanks to a hidden power she didn't think she had. The same power that many people, gods and demons alike, wanted to annihilate no matter the cost. Hunted and cornered, Abigaël bet everything on a daring move which nearly ended up in her death. Having acquired a new body, Abigaël must do everything in her power to return to Earth. For Earth was in danger and only herself held to key to its survival. WARNING : It will contain mature content. I checked LitRPG not because there will be game-elements (pop up screen from the "system", the god or something like that) but because of the world mechanic itself (there will be level up, quest/mission, guild, etc?).
