The Sanctum Sanctorum stood before her as she took several photos. Genesis was doing a project for school on this mysterious building. Her professor advised against it, considering that it was always closed. Abandoned, in fact. Not even Google could offer much information on the building, Genesis came to discover. But, she had heard stories of a mysterious wizard who protected the place.

Everyone had heard of him, in some way. It's no mystery that gifted beings lived among us. Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, the list went on. Genesis put her phone away in her satchel as she gazed up at the glass windows of the building. It was already beginning to get dark, as she ventured closer towards the front door. Giving the handle a tug, she wasn't surprised to find it locked.

Luckily, she was already prepared. She rummaged through her satchel and pulled out a bobby pin. Quickly, she tried to pick the lock. With no luck, she tossed the pin away and sighed. Shrugging, she dared to knock. She waited and waited, but no one opened the door. Looking around, she spotted a window around the other side of the building. Leaves crushed underneath her shoes as she hurried over. Her hand tried to brush away some of the dirt off the window as she peaked inside.

A pair of eyes were right there to greet her through the window and she fell back with a small shriek. Backing away, she mumbled, "Shit."

She remained on the ground for a few seconds until she got back on her feet. Slowly, Genesis walked back towards the window and peaked through. The eyes were gone, but it was dark inside. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her satchel and she gasped. A man aimed a gun at her face as he tried to yank her satchel away.

"Shit," she said, holding her hands up and releasing her satchel.

"Get on the ground," he said, silently.

"Please, my phone's in there," she said in a squeaky voice.

"I said get on the ground!"

Genesis did as she was told as her chest tightened. She got in her knees and held her hands up. It was too dark for her to identify the man as he looked through her bag. He threw her phone aside and her eyes locked onto it. Suddenly, she recalled that her jeans had her keys clipped to them. Along with a small container of pepper spray. While he searched her wallet, she reached own for her keys. Jumping into action, she sprayed his eyes but barely any spray came out. He pushed her away as he dropped her bag.

"You, little-"

Suddenly, the man was sucked through a hole in the ground. Genesis gasped as she was suddenly alone. Her jaw hung open and her eyes watered. "What the hell..?"

"Is this your phone?"

She gave a small shriek at the voice. A man was holding her now cracked phone out to her. He was tall and wore a dark blue tunic, of sorts. On the side of his hair, he had streaks of silver. What stood out the most was his crimson cape. There was no wind but it moved as if there was.

"It's okay, take it," he said.

Silently, she took it. "You...the wizard."

"You're welcome. I suggest you head home before anything else happens and never come back," he said, lifting off the ground.

"Oh my God.."

"Not quite."

He disappeared and she grimaced.

"I asked nicely," he said, suddenly appearing behind her.

She gasped "Would you stop that?"

"You have your things. Go."

"But, who are you? I was just-"

He disappeared. Genesis gave out an excited chuckle. She reached down for her satchel and gave the building a final glance before leaving. "Oh, I'll be back."

A/N: So, this takes place before Infinity War (obviously). Not sure if it's going to be before or after Thor Rag. Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope to continue, so more to come.
