Inspired by Avengers. I just wanted to imagine our ladies in a role of heroes or at least one of them. This is the best I could come up with. Enjoy. Xoxo
Falling From The Sky
Regina Mills was a common citizen. She worked as a secretary for the mayor office in Boston and she loved her job. She didn't get much credit for what she has already done for the city but she couldn't be bothered by it. The feeling of doing something useful and something for the people living in the city was the only reward she needed. She has never thought of becoming famous or somehow important in the eyes of her fellow citizens. But after the world discovered the existence of an alien life everything has changed. Regina changed. She wanted to do something more, something to save the human kind, something that would have a bigger impact on people's lives than just filling in papers in her office. The world was once again under the attack of an alien race and Avengers were the front line of defence, they were fighting such battles normal people couldn't. Not because they didn't want to fight but because they had no chance at winning. The alien race was advanced and only people with superpowers could defeat them. Regina liked all of the Avengers but Iron Man had a special place in her heart. She liked the guy, how easy going he was and his sense of humour. If only she could meet him one day. How different would he be in real? The only way he „knew" him was from the tv screen. He was a famous scientist always looking for improvement of technology to make people's lives better, easier, funnier.
Regina was on her way to the office. She had to work even thought the world was going through such a big battle. All the people who worked in the government had to be on stand by if any important changes were about to happen or if any statements had to be announced.
Lost in her thoughts about the battle and all the danger they were in she almost missed the shiny ball of light flying over her head. It made no sound or at least people couldn't here it as high it was but it could be seen very well. Something just flew over Regina's head and when she followed the trajectory she figured that the object fell into a building near the town border. Her instincts told her to go and check it out so she listened to her inner voice. With her thumb raised she stopped a cab and ordered him to go to the old factory at the edge of Boston. She had no idea why her heart led her there but it felt like the right thing to do in case she could do some good. The cab stopped in front of the old building, Regina paid the driver and got out of the car. The taxi driver drove away and left Regina all alone. The brunette explored the surroundings with her eyes and listened carefully is she could hear something suspicious. There was nothing dangerous so she decided to go inside the building. It looked like it used to be a storage but it was abandoned many years ago. A lot of damage was caused to the building and according to how the walls were damaged she figured that it has been out of order for quite some time. She entered the building carefully, looking around in case there was some danger lurking. The place was creepy, dark and the air was full of dust. Few birds flew away when they heard Regina's heels hitting the ground.
„Hello? Is anybody here?" she tried. No response. She kept walking deeper into the building turning around the middle wall finally seeing the black smoke she saw in the sky few moments ago.
There has to be something. What if it was one of the aliens? She realized that she wasn't prepared for a fight with an alien. Her mind was telling her to leave this place from the safety reasons but her heart led her forward. She somehow couldn't stop. She walked to a huge pile of stones, wood with ropes and cables on top of it and then she saw a glimpse of a shiny metal. It was someone in a metal suit. Sparks of fire were all around the place and Regina had to be careful not to step into the fire. She criss crossed through the spacious place as close as she could to the metallic figure.
When she laid her eyes on the body she took a deep breath and her heart stopped beating for a moment. It was Iron Man. Was she dreaming? Was it really him? Is she finally going to meet him? What if he is hurt? Does he need help? Her mind was full of questions that she almost over heard the voice coming from suit.
„Stay away!" the robotic voice said and Regina froze at the spot. She dropped her bag to the ground. She wasn't sure if she should stay or run as far as she could. How could she tell that the person in the suit is a friend. What if it was the enemy and Regina just fell into a trap? She took another step towards the person.
„I said you should stay away!" the voice said harshly to scare the woman.
„Why?" Regina answered determined to have a chat with this mysterious person. From these few words she could say it wasn't Tony Stark in the suit. The voice was different than when she heard him talking in the tv.
„This suit is unpredictable especially when it's broken," the voice said and Regina admitted that the person was probably right. She had to smile at the thought that the person in the suit wanted to keep her safe. The metallic body attempted to stood up but failed. Whoever was in the suit was hurt. Regina was sure at the moment when she heard the moaning.
„Are you hurt? I can help you," Regina wasn't ready to give up. These superheroes never gave up so she was ready to pay back for their help.
„There is not much you could do," the voice answered and the moaning reached Regina's ears again.
„The systems are overloaded," another robotic voice filled the air and Regina knew that it wasn't a good sign. Usually when something was overloaded it went boom.
„Shouldn't these things have a safety protocol so if something like that happened the suit would let the person out?" Regina was thinking out loud and the person in the suit nodded even thought the brunette couldn't see him. After few breaths the suit opened and Regina finally saw the face of the person who was inside.
„A girl?" Regina was surprised. She hoped to meet Tony but when she looked more closely at the person she thought that this wasn't as bad as it seemed. From the suit a young beautiful blond woman was looking at her, her eyes asking for help. Regina didn't hesitate and closed the distance between them to be able to help the woman get out of the suit as soon as possible. There was a possibility of explosion and in this case they would like to be as far from this place as they could. Regina helped the blond woman get up, supported her by putting the woman's hand around her shoulders and led her out of the building.
When they reached a safe distance, the blond woman made it clear she needed to sit down to rest. Regina helped the woman to the ground so she could gain some strength.
„A woman!" the blond woman answered correcting Regina's assumption.
„Oh, sorry," Regina giggled feeling relieved that she managed to save her.
„I am Emma Swan," the blond woman introduced herself raising her hand offering Regina a hand shake.
„Thank you," she added waiting for the other woman to respond somehow. Regina accepted Emma's hand and smiled.
„I am Regina Mills," the brunette said while shaking the other woman's hand.
„What happened? Where did you get the suit?" Regina asked not able to hide her curiosity.
„Tony Stark asked me to join them in the battle giving me one of his suits. I work in his labs and he thought this would be a great way for me to feel my own inventions," Emma answered sharing private stuff with this brunette not actually knowing why. She just felt relieved that she survived another day.
„Can you see the irony?" Regina said and sat down next to Emma.
„Tony is a funny guy," Emma answered and they both laughed.
