Chapter 3
She lay in the hospital bed motionless for a day. She was fine but they kept her under so they could inspect what and who she was. Thor informed the rest of the team about her planet and how ruthless they were against men. The women there were far stronger than any human and much taller as well. She stood at 6'6" towering over all the avengers. Like Tony said, "It's like Thor and Natasha had a baby who was injected with the super soldier serum."
She started to stir in the early hours of the morning. Her back was sore from a boulder to the back and her head was pounding. She opened her eye slowly and took in the bright white room. All she could hear was the beeping of the heart monitor which she has yet to know about. She glanced around the room afraid and ready to run. She yanked out the needles in her arms and got out of the bed. This action triggered F.R.I.D.A.Y.
"Good morning Miss" F.R.I.D.A.Y. said. She spun around ready to attack but found nothing but thin air.
"Where are you" She said in a low voice.
"I'm F.R.I.D.A.Y., Mr. Stark's AI. You seem to be in distress. Let me contact Mr. Stark for you" F.R.I.D.A.Y. insisted.
"I don't need help" She growled before taking off. She smashed her way through the door and began running down the hall, not knowing where she was going. She ran through the medical floor trying to find a way out but she had never really been in a building with many floors. She had lived in nature her whole life and had no knowledge of any of the technology around her. The nurses and agents were alarmed by the amazonian running across the floor. She ran but stopped when she approached window and stared at the city below. She stared in awe at cars, flashing lights, and large buildings that littered the city. The fear in her faded away slightly as she stared out at the beautiful scene below her. No one dare approach her so she stared out at the city till the avengers came.
The avenger were in the middle of breakfast when they were alerted about the girl. They sprung into action and raced to the floor below them. Natasha was the first at the scene and watched as the young yet grand girl stared out the window. She wore a flimsy white hospital gown that was too tight and short on her. They couldn't find any clothes her size but they were working on it.
"What's she doing?" Clint whispered. Natasha whipped around and watched as the rest of the avengers joined her. She turned back to the girl and watched as she reached out to touch the glass but quickly retracted it when she felt the cold glass against her hands.
"She doesn't know where she is or what anything around her is. On her planet they live in the amazon. They don't have any technology where she comes from" Thor said.
"Maybe I should try to talk to her" Tony said as he stepped forward.
"Wait" Wanda says putting an arm in front of Tony. Wanda's eyes shut as she tapped into the girl's mind.
"She's scared and confused. She was startled by F.R.I.D.A.Y. and she's hurting a little from the hits but her body is healing quite quickly. She isn't very fond of men. She feels a guilty and ashamed around them. She did something" Wanda said. She opened her eyes again and stared at the girl.
"I think Natasha should talk to her" Pietro said. Wanda agreed so Clint gave her a little push and the red-head stumbled forward. She straightened up and walked over to the girl. She towered over Natasha yet she was intimidated by the smaller red-head. The way she carried herself told her that she was also a strong warrior. Natasha walked up behind her and stopped a few feet away from her.
"My name's Natasha. What's your name?" Natasha asks. The girl turns around and gives Natasha a once over. She sits down with her knees to her chest and looks up the Natasha.
"My name is Tereis, it means piercer" Tereis added. Natasha shot a glance over her shoulder to the team who gave her the go ahead to keep talking.
"Well Tereis, how are you feeling? The big guy got you pretty good" Natasha said with small smile. Tereis felt guilt wash over her at the mention of previous events.
"I deserved it" She thought to herself. She remembered what she did to the people on her planet and couldn't help but break down. Tears came flowing down as did her warrior facade. Natasha rushed to her side and let the girl fall onto her lap. Tereis had her head on Natasha's lap as she cried.
"What's going on?" She asked as she carded her fingers through Tereis's thick black hair.
"I deserve all the pain I get. All those things I did to those innocent men. I did it willingly. I'm not in pain but I should be" She said in an unsteady voice. The avengers watched as Natasha soothed the weeping warrior. Thor felt sympathy for the girl even though she had done horrible things.
"What did you do?" Natasha asked softly. She continued to comb her hair with her fingers and rub Tereis' side.
"On my planet the women are superior. I ruled along side another queen and together we conquered many lands in the name of women. We ruined many men's lives. Valasca had every man under our ruling remove their right eyes and thumbs so that they couldn't hunt. I thought we were doing the right thing. She told me that this was revenge for what they did to women. She told me that many centuries ago they had once conquered women and almost destroy us but she lied. There was no war between us. There was no righteousness to my actions" Tereis told them her past. Thor was puzzled by this. He had once encountered their planet but never thought to got to this point.
"How and Why did you come to earth?" Thor asked. Tereis looked up at the god but quickly lowered her gaze down to Natasha's boots.
"There was a war that broke out. Valasca insisted that we needed to conquer the whole planet but by this time I had found out the lie and refused to help her any more. My friend Molpadia was the one who told me about this. Valasca started attacking everyone with her supreme army. They started to kill the men and women who refused to kneel down to her. Molpadia helped me escape using her magic. She sent me here while she went to another planet unknown to me. There was nothing I could do, she's too powerful" Tereis was crying again by the time she finished.
A few feet away Bucky was starting to tear up a bit. He had been in a similar position. In a way they were both fed lies and forced to do things. They had different positions but in a way they had experienced a similar thing.
"Why don't we get you something to eat, yeah?" Natasha asked Tereis.
"I can't hunt for food like this" Tereis said. Natasha awed in her head but smile physically. She really didn't know about modern life.
"We got food upstairs. Do you wanna go up with me?" She asked. Tereis nodded and slowly started to stand up. Natasha stood up as well and looked over at Tereis. She looked over at the avengers who walked over to them. Tereis panicked and grabbed onto Natasha's smaller hand. She stood behind Natsha as the group came closer. She introduced her to the team before they made their way up.
