New York - 2013

The power stone had somehow made its way to earth. And I had found it. It was in this strange casing: a circular shell with all kinds of holes. It seemed odd to me from the start. That was solidified when a blast landed very close to my foot. I took the sphere and ran. I was terrified. The shots that were coming at me weren't from a normal gun.

It was nighttime in the more ghetto part of New York. I had just gotten off work and was walking home when I saw it lying abandoned on the ground. Now I'm being hunted down and I don't even know why. There were footsteps following close behind me as I kept running. They kept getting closer and closer until they stopped and I heard a thud sound. I turned around and a red and blue blur kicked a monstrous-looking creature into the wall. I didn't wait for an invitation and just kept running. As soon as I felt I was far enough, I halted and gasped for air. When I caught my breath, I finally had time to examine the object. I rotated it within my hands and the top of it opened on its own. The purple glowing stone inside was mesmerizing. Even more so when it started floating on its own. It left its shell and levitated right in front of my face. Then it unleashed a wave of untold power that went right into me. I was flung against a wall and everything went back. I woke up in the hospital hours later. They said that I was dropped off in front of there. I guess I have to thank Spiderman for that.

But that was all years ago. The power stone was nowhere to be found when Peter got to me. He just found me knocked out in the alleyway. Afterward, I went to avengers tower because I thought something might be wrong with me. I was right. Turns out that the stone gave me the power to control the elements. Which is pretty cool in my book. They took me in and trained me to use my powers. I spent a lot of my time with Thor because I could also control lightning. He also helps me with my non-electrical-related powers too. The others helped too and it was nice to hang out with them. After getting ahold of what I could do, I was invited to start going on missions. I got a suit and everything. For my codename, I decided to go with the name Tempest. I felt it was pretty fitting. Now that we have my origin out of the way, it's time to go to the present.

Sokovia - 2015

I'm honestly considering switching to Ultron's side just to kill Tony. There are so many of these stupid Ultron robots. They just keep coming and coming and they show no sign of stopping. And it's not like we can just go all out and because we have people we need to save. At least we have the twins fighting with us because that helps a lot. And the fast one, Pietro, is kinda fine. Even if he wasn't on our side I would pull a Romeo and Juliet with him. Whether or not he would do one with me is a whole other story.

That's all besides the point because now we have to protect the world's most advanced switch ever. One that will have us plummeting to the earth if we don't succeed. So needless to say stakes are high. This would've been easier if we didn't have an entire army of robots coming after us. I was straining my powers doing this. I've had them for less than 2 years and we have been fighting for a while now. I summoned a thundercloud above us that started shocking a bunch of robots. One of them jumped at me so I forced it away with a blast of air. I looked over and one of them grabbed Nat so I stomped on the ground. A mini earthquake traveled to them and it knocked the robot off its feet. She was able to escape its grasp and stomp its head in. Since I was distracted a bunch of them jumped on me, taking me to the ground. I concentrated for a minute and blasted them all off with a fiery wave. I pushed myself back up with air and went back to fighting.

Time Skip Brought to you by... The Time Stone!

Thank goodness Fury came through to get all of these people off of this floating deathtrap onto a floating, not deathtrap. It took a lot of effort to get people away because Ultron didn't want them to leave. He made sure all the robots were focused on thwarting our efforts. I formed a tornado to keep them at bay while I shuffled people onto the ship. Some got caught in it but most of them flew around it. While the people of Sokovia ran to the dropship, I made a wall of ice that they crashed into. I held them off long enough for everyone to board. One crashed through the wall straight at my face but an arrow went right through the side of its head. I turned and Clint was smirking at me.

"Don't get too confident now bow boy."

"Shut up, I just saved your life." He ran off to the ship to check on everyone on it. Before I could run off I heard a woman yelling hysterically. Clint was off toward a child that was trapped under some rubble. I thought he was okay so turned the other way. I got stopped again but this time it was because of the sound of aircrafts overhead. I didn't get a good look at it because it started shooting. The severity of what was happing set in and A half-dome of ice formed as I blasted at the ground. I turned away and covered my head just in case. It took me a second to realize Clint was uncovered. A blue blur appears and a car is pushed in front of Clint. Now Pietro was seconds away from destruction. The ultimate demise that would fill him with holes. I had to act fast. A powerful stomp on the ground made the earth roll over to him. It stopped right in front of him and a slab of earth sprouted from the ground. Just as it rose to protect him bullets pelted against it. If I had been any later he would surely be dead. A swift and methodical kick behind me made the ice wall come crashing down.

"Didn't see that coming, did you?" Pietro stepped from behind the wall and checked himself for injuries.

"You saved my life."

Time Skip again because of... story... reasons... I don't know don't question it

Wanda was extremely grateful that her brother was alive. Who knows what she would have done if she had died. From what I have seen she is very powerful. I'm not exactly sure what her powers are, but they look like some kind of magic. Who knows though.

After the battle was over with Ultron dead and all the Sokovians saved, a lot of us separated. Thor went back to Asgard, which he offered to take me with him but I declined. As much as I'm gonna miss him, the earth is my home. Tony went back to his wife and home. Clint went... wherever Clint goes. The rest of us stayed on the compound. Cap, Natasha, Warmachine, Vision, Sam, Wanda, Pietro, and myself. Cap and Nat have been training us to work as a team. It's been interesting getting to know everyone. They're all so interesting. Especially Pietro. I've gotten really close to him. We hang out a lot doing random things together. I usually take him to do things he didn't get to when he was a child. We've gone mini-golfing, bowling, scavenger hunt, even just going to the beach. It's been nice just seeing him light up doing things others do on a daily basis. Wanda joins us sometimes too, although she's been spending a lot of her time with Vision. I don't know if they see it but there's definitely something there. Those two have their own learning experiences together. They should have a show or something. 'Witch and Robot' I can see it now.

Anyway, currently Pietro and I are playing video games in his room. I used Tony's money to buy him an Xbox so we could play around. Pietro's favorite game is the Sims4. He made his family in it and watches them grow up. It's bittersweet seeing your family grow up happy but knowing it's just a game. Sometimes I have physically pull him away from the computer because he gets too invested in it. Those are the times that break my heart the most. But I'll do something with him to take his mind off it and he'll be back to his speedy self in no time. But, right now we aren't playing the sims, we're playing Minecraft. Yes, we are two teenagers playing a children's game. But we're also superheroes so that cancels it out because I said so.

"PIETRO YOU FUCKER YOU BURNED DOWN MY HOUSE!" I shoved him with my body but he just laughed.

"You left it unsupervised! That's reason enough to burn it down." He set more parts of my house on fire.

"I don't know why I deal with you, you himbo." His eyebrows raised.

"Himbo?" His accent was still there, although it's lessened with time. Just like Wanda's. "I know what that means. You think I'm attractive." He wiggled his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes. While I did think that Pietro was very attractive, I'm not gonna tell him that.

"It also means I think you're dumb but pick and choose which parts you want to listen to I guess."

"The point is you think I'm hot. It's okay I think you're pretty cute too." Now that was an unforeseen turn of events. Pietro finding me hot? More importantly, he admitted it after I accidentally flirted with him. This was the moment I've been waiting for. I have dreamt of this moment. I was so dumbstruck that I ended up just freezing. "Shawn? Are you okay?" He waved his hand in front of my face.

"I- I'm- hot?" His face scrunched up in confusion.

"Yeah. Is that a problem?" It wasn't a problem. It definitely wasn't a problem. It was the opposite of a problem.

"No, no nonononononono. It is not a problem."

"Good." He gave me a peck on the lips and I'm pretty sure I could hear my mind short-circuit. This man is going to be the death of me.

"Um, excuse me, sir. I demand a proper kiss." I took his face in my hands and put our lips together. It was slow and passionate. Like a dance that only our lips knew how to do. It was amazing. We pulled apart after a few seconds and he had that sly smile on his face.

"I should burn down your house more often."

"You know what, I'm holding my kisses hostage now. You don't get any." I dropped my controller on the bed and walked to the door. Before I could get close Pietro sped right in front of it.

"Don't be like that." He pouted and blocked the door with his hands. I smiled and froze his feet to the floor. The big window on the other side of the room was calling my name. A quick sprint and a little fumbling of the lock opened it up. I hopped out and with a blast of air, I was flying away.

"SHAWN WAIT, COME BACK!" I saw him climb out the window and speed after me. The chase is on.
