As Hatter and I walked around, some people stared at us.  I mean, I'm just a floating face.  People take pictures, but are confused when they look at them. 

Hatter and I don't show up in pics.  Steve runs out.

"What are you doing?!" He yells. "People are taking pictures of you!!"

"Chill, we don't show up in pictures."  Hatter says. 

Steve grabs my wrist.  I winced. 

"Ow! That hurts!!" I say.

"Let's go!" He growled.  Holding my wrist tighter, pulling me towards the tower.

"Stop!" I yell.  People already left the area.

Hatter just stands there.

He pulls me harder, and I fall.

"Ow! Stop!! " I screech. " Stop! That burns!!"

Then Hatter realized it, so did I.  It's that ring he has on, the metal burns our skin.  It burns a lot.

"STOP!!" I scream.  He doesn't let go.

"GET INSIDE!!" He screams.

My skin burns badly.

"STOP STOP!!" I scream.  " HATTER HELP ME!"

Hatter runs toward me.  Trying to pull Steve off me.  The smell of burning skin is in the air.  Steve lets me go.

"Gah!" I scream, my skins burned badly.

"Are you ok?" He asks.

How dare he. 

" I TRIED TO TELL YOU!" I scream. " THAT METAL BURNS!!"

"I-I didn't know!!" He says, defensively.

"I'm going."  I say, teleporting away.

6 Hours later

I arrive at the tower.  Hatter didn't come with me, to my hiding place, but that was ok.  When I walked in, everyone looked at me.

My arm was horribly burned and I didn't cover it up.  I had nothing to do so with.  

"Hatter you there?" I ask.  Ignoring the eyes around me.

"Hatter?!" I ask. 

"He left." Steve said. " Do you want help?"

"Don't talk to me."

I walk to my room.  Clint comes in. 

"He said he was sorry. "  Clint told me.  " He wouldn't stop." 

"I don't care." I say. " I'm going home tomorrow, that way no one can hurt me."

" You can't!"  Clint yells. 

I face him. 

" That could have killed me.  A second longer, I would have died." I tell him.

"He di-" Clint started.

"I told him to let go." I say. " I can't use my powers for the rest of the month.  I will die."

Clint doesn't speak.  He's shocked.

"One slip up, and I'm dead."  I tell him, leaving the room. 

I didn't notice that Steve was right there, listening the whole time.

Two weeks later

"Chess, we need you."  Tony says.

"What?" I responded, looking at him.

" I need you to teleport, over to California." He responds.

I can't, I'll die.  I think.

"For what?"

"An old friend of mine, his children could be killed. "

I'm going to die.

" How old?"

"6, and 10."

"Ok, I'll go."

I'm dead.  I'm going to die.  But I have save these kids.  I don't have a choice.

I teleported off.  Clint started to say something, but I was gone.

I'm going to die.

30 minutes later

I get back to the tower, Hatters there. 

"You should've told me!" He yells.

The kids look scared.

" I'm sorry Hatter." I say, as things go dark.

When I wake up,  I'm in a hospital room.  I know where I am.  The Avengers tower. 

I get up.  And rip the cords out of my arm.  Steve stares at me.

" I'm sorry."
