Falling [Through the MCU]

Prologue

Once upon a time, there lived a girl who had no magic, no superpowers, and nothing extraordinary about her.

oh, but how she wished she was.

This girl longed to be a part of something bigger, something mystical and magical, to be surrounded by mad scientists and the gods of the tales she was so very fond of. so much so, that she tried every method in any book or series or internet scam that was out there. every 11:11, every shooting star, every meteor shower, she wished. She tried shifting, praying, and summoning demons. She learned Latin and Ancient greek, studying every language anyone in those stories ever spoke, even studying shows and reading books to learn snippets of things like atlantien, Tolkien Elvish, and even Old Norse.

Of course, deep down the girl never expected any of it to work. After years of trying every option known to mankind, she was just doing it to humor herself. Wasting 17 years of her life and countless dollars would all be worth it if she managed to travel to the worlds of her dreams, to meet the people she watched on screens and in comics and novels longer than the days she had lived.

This is why it came as such a surprise when almost a year after she had given up, tried to find a normal life, filled out forms to major in English and mythology, found an apartment in New York City for relatively cheap and put effort into trying to make real friends who were more than just ink in a page or people on a screen, that something she had never seen before popped up on her phone.
