Day 4

After Tony looked at it, he bandaged it up and walked around me to look at me in the face.

"Giselle, please tell me what is going on."

I shook my head.

"I'm sorry Tony, but, I've been through a lot, and I still can't believe that I told one person. I just need to get used to living here and I need to learn how to trust you more before I can tell you what I really am."

His brow furrowed.

"What do you mean what you really are?"

Crap.

"Tony, I don't know if you've pieced it together by now, but I am not entirely human."

He looked at me.

I turned around to leave.

But he stopped me.

It's getting highly annoying for him to stop me.

He hugged me.

"Tell me when you are ready."

A tear collected in my eye.

"Ok."

We pulled apart. I am in the room that we had my 'check up' in.

The window was still broken.

I looked at Tony.

"I'm going to jump out of that window now. And I would appreciate it if you didn't try and stop me."

He nodded and chuckled.

"Yeah, sure kid, you've proven that you can handle jumping out of windows."

I chuckled as well before leaping out of the window.

Right before I was about to hit the ground, maybe ten years up, I looked over and was scooped up by Peter.

He held on to me as I squirmed.

I mean seriously?! Can't these people ever leave me alone?!

We eventually arrived at a clearing about two miles from the Avengers Tower.

"What the hell was that?!" I yelled.

"You were falling! I thought you were going to die!"

I slapped my forehead and turned into a hawk.

"Oh... yeah... right. Sorry, I forgot about that." He said

I turned back into a human and stared at him.

All of a sudden, my shoulder spasmed.

I screamed in pain and clutched my shoulder as I sat down on the floor.

He rushed over to me.

"Hey! Are you ok? What happened?"

I closed my eyes and gasped.

"My shoulder. Thor hit me with lightning while I was a dragon."

Peter nodded in recognition.

"Can I pull your jacket down to take a look at it?"

I nodded. Everyone already knew about my scars.

"Holy shit, that must hurt a lot."

I felt something touch my wound, but I thought nothing of it.

"Giselle, please tell someone about this."

I turned around a pulled my jacket back up.

"Tony knows. He's the person who treated it. He just doesn't know how I got it."

Peter nodded and slipped something in his pocket.

"Well, since I kind of ruined your fun by stopping you from going splat, want a lift to the Avengers tower? I have to drop something off."

I thought about it.

"Nah, how about we race. I've been dying to stretch my legs all day."

He chuckled and nodded.

"One...two...three... GO!"

I turned into a cheetah and ran faster than ever before.

I looked behind me, Peter was slowly catching up.

Soon, I was at the treeline, about fifty yards ahead of Peter.

I changed into my human form and walked the rest of the way to the tower and high dived it.

He swung to the floor about two seconds later.

I smiled.

"I won."

He looked at me.

"Yeah... yeah you did."

He avoided my gaze.

But, it wasn't because he lost, no.

There was something else in the look he had.

Guilt.

A ton of it.

"Giselle, i'm- I'm sorry for what is a both to happen."

With that, he swung into the building, holding something in his pocket.

"Ummmmm ok?"

I don't really know how to respond to that.

************************************

A few hours later, around 5, I walked in through the entrance.

I had been running all day so I was kind of sweaty and tired.

Everyone was crowded around the table.

When I entered they all looked at me.

Thor said, "Well, speak of the devil."

This struck me as suspicious. Like, super suspicious.

I walked over to the table.

Everyone was reading blood results.

My blood results.

How the hell did they even get my blood?

Tanner said, "So. You can transform into animals."

I looked at the ground and nodded.

Tony said, "And when you jumped out of that window yesterday, that force holding me back from helping you, that was you. Wasn't it?"

I nodded again.

"And the bruises and the burns. That dragon was you wasn't it? I hit you in that eye with one of my blasts."

I nodded. "Well, you and Peter. After you hit me Peter punched it."

Tony looked down. "That doesn't make what I did any better."

"Well, there was no way you could have known."

Banner said, "Giselle, why didn't you tell us? We have a right to know-"

Peter looked down.

"Right? Right? You had NO right to know! None at all! It was none of your business! I was going to tell you when I was ready! How the hell did you even get my fucking blood?"

Banner glanced quickly at Peter.

Then it all made sense.

Later grabbed me as I fell so he could trick me into getting my blood. The thing that he was holding in his pocket, that was my blood.

I looked at him in disbelief.

"You-You didn't. Please tell me you didn't."

He looked down again.

"Giselle, Giselle, I'm sorry."

A tear fell from my eye.

"I thought I could trust you." I looked down. "I guess I was wrong."

I walked away and ran up the stairs into my room.

I grabbed my backpack and stuffed my jacket into it, making a soft cushion for Splotch as I gently put her in there.

There was nothing else that belonged to me.

I could have to go pick up my clothes from my bean bag home and then continue on my journey.

I can turn into animals.

I will just survive in the wild.

I walked out of my bedroom door and down the stairs.

Everyone was still on the table.

They all looked at me.

"Giselle, what are you-"

"Goodbye everybody. It was nice meeting you."

I turned to the door and continued walking.

Tony came up to me in his suit.

He tried to stop me from leaving.

I used telekinesis to shove him back into the wall.

Peter used his Webbs to grab onto my wrist.

I used my telekinesis to crush his web slingers.

I then shoved everyone else back into the wall so that no one would get any ideas.

Then I walked out. Tears streaming down my face.

******************************************

Once I arrived at my bean bag I put all of my clothes in my backpack.

I took Splotch out first so that I didn't hurt her.

I felt a presence close behind me and turned around.

Someone with a long black coat and a black eyepatch was standing four yards away from me.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked.

"Mc Fury. I work with S.H.E.I.L.D and I'm going to ask you once to please come with me peacefully and quietly before I go over to the Avengers and ask them to bring you in."

I stared at him. Crap.

"I think you've got the wrong person."

"Oh, I think I do. We found your file in the HYDRA database and are about 99.99 percent sure that you are a threat. So, Giselle, please come along quietly and I won't make a scene."

I stared at him, and then turned into a small lady bug.

Then I flew away.

All of a sudden I heard gunshots, and felt bullets whiz past me.

I looked back and saw Fury holding a gun.

I can't dive in lady bug form, so I changed into a Hawk.

I dove and flew into the direction of the Avengers tower.

All of The avengers came out as I approached.

I looked behind me and saw two helicopters following me, and catching up.

Fury shot my wing and I crashed down.

I shifted my body and landed in the clear water right before I turned into a shark.

I could feel the Avengers eyes on me as they broke through the trees and searched the water.

Fury shot my fin, and this time, I changed into my human form to swim to the shore.

Once I reached the shore, I could tell that my arm was badly wounded and that the bullet went right through.

The bullet in my right leg however, was still in there.

I weakly stood up, no tears on my face.

I flipped my middle finger up at the helicopters and then looked back at the avengers.

They were all watching me.

I turned into a cheetah and slowly limped/walked back into the forest.
