Code Name; Nova

-Chapter 34-

Suddenly everyone is around me. My mind is racing a million miles a minute, am I really here I mean that's one of the ways those things would torture me convince me I was home then rip it all away. I slowly climb off the table but stand next to it.

I look at each of them if this is a trick it's a good one.

"Tali"?

My head snaps to the owner of that voice. There is no way those creatures know about that nickname not a single way.

"Your real"? I ask my eyes filling with tears.

Clint hugs me tight carding his hand through my hair.

"What did that place do to you"? He asks in a whisper.

He steps back, I hold my hand out to Steve he takes it instantly.

"Hi" I say.

He pulls me close, in a bonecrushing hug.

"There's our girl" He sighs happily.

I step back and walk right up to Tony and hug him tightly.

Someone taps me on the shoulder. Thor, his arms out wide a knowing smile on his face.

I jump a little to get my arms around his shoulders. He lifts me clear off the ground then spins in a circle in a true Thor fashion. Nat hugs me next then a warm embrace from Bruce.

I get a new ping in my head I peek over Steve's shoulder to see where the ping came from. It's a man, he has shaggy hair and nervous eyes. I squint at him he looks frimilar like I've seen him before.

"Thalia"? Steve asks touching my shoulder.

I jolt when Steve's memories fill my head pushing everything else away. It's no regular guy off the street it's Steve's best friend. James Buchanan Barnes.
My heart twists when I watch him fall off the train.

I blink and Clint is holding my face in his hands.

"There she is" He whispers.

"Sorry" I say looking over at James.

"Did I do something" Steve asks wringing his hands.

"No you didn't it happens sometimes" Clint says quickly.

"We think you can help him Thalia" Nat says linking her arm with mine.

I gently rub my temples as I shove the images down.

"James"? I ask looking up at the man.

He nods.

"Bucky" He adds.

"Ms James"? Jarvis asks.

"What is it Jarvis" I ask him.

"Dr Harvey is requesting Nova's presence at the hospital" He says.

"Right. Of course, Jarvis tell her I am on my way" I say moving for the door- my suit.

"Tony"? I ask gesturing to my lack of uniform.

"Workshop" He nods.

Clint point of view

I saw it, as soon as Steve touches Thalia's shoulder. I gently move Steve out of the way and hold her face in my hands like I did one of the first time she used this power.
She blinks and looks up at me as if nothing happened.

"There she is" I nod, brushing the hair off her face.

"Did I do something" Steve asks wringing his hands.
