NOW

her knees met her chin and her arms held her body tight, compact. she trapped herself in a crevice of the caves she was stolen to for four days. no one paused, walking by her crack. because no one should fit in there. four days of no food and water after three hundred and eighty days of just enough to keep her alive. her bones were sharp under her skin. despite being thirty-three, she was frail and tired like a women aged seventy years more.

she didn't know how she was going to ever leave here. especially now that she had tried to escape. but she had failed. she had failed and in thirty days time, they'll find her. find her decomposing in the fetal position she was in now. but she found she didn't care. she gave her last caring leaving the hole they imprisoned her in. she was nothing now. her eyes were dead and her body was paralyzed. her mind fell into a blank space that was now more often than every once and a while and she found she truly didn't know how long she's hid herself here. she was a shell. she was nothing encased in a body.

then something rolled into her crevice, bumping her foot, and with a sharp snap she broke out of the blank space she was in.

"which hand! c'mon, guess which hand," a voice taunted, "no? party pooper," and then her breath caught when she heard a thump and felt the impact of heavy things hitting the ground. they didn't get up.

"crap, dropped it," the voice muttered, teasing gone. it was deep and slowly, her mind recognized it as a man. "where are you guys?!" he called in a louder voice, "I'll be there, just one sec."

a hand came in and felt around. the object was just out of reach. her eyes watched each movement, and he came dangerously close to grabbing it- and touching her. her heart fluttered slightly in her chest as he pulled his hand back.

he suddenly jumped up and turned around, she watched through the crack. "oh heyyyy! I was just... I was just..." there was a click, "nevermind," he bolted off and a voice screamed, "get him!"

faster than she could think she had shimmied herself out and was following the guards following him. her hand gripped the device the man dropped.

full throttle after him, they didn't even notice her. she was silent nonetheless and she led her to a way out. to bright, blinding sunshine. she flinched, falling to her knees. covering her eyes, she was momentarily stunned.

"you can come any second now, any second now would be great actually!" the man yelled, before he let out a grunt of pain.

she squinted her eyes against the sun and found him surrounded by guards. he held his own pretty well, but no one had his back, and he needed that.

she didn't even think before she did it, and she a felt a surge of happiness- she was finally using it for good.

a hoarse screamed escaped her, loud enough for them to hear. all eyes were suddenly on her. the "gift" they gave her was now something she could use against them. in her mind, she grabbed them all and lifted them, and threw them a few miles away.

it happened outside her mind too.

"that was freaking awesome," the man said with a voice full of awe.

but all at once darkness overcame her and exhaustion plagued her and she collapsed to the ground. something was slipping away from her, something was pulling from her. she let out a gasp and that was all she could do, before she no more.

hello! disclaimer: I don't own anything Marvel. however I proudly own Clara. I'm really excited in developing my writing ability and writing her. I'm going to put her and Peter through a lot of crap, and call me a psychopath, but I can't wait. ;) I hope you enjoyed! Let me know in the comments :)
