Divija's P.O.V:

It had been a few months since the drugging incident and I was keeping my distance from Fury and was also wary around Natasha but we still had our combat training so couldn't completely avoid her. One day when I entered the training room for my daily sparring session the room was empty but there was a big box at the centre of the room. Confused I strode towards it and examined the box which had no tags on it so I couldn't discern who kept it. Is it a bomb? Divya asked and I snorted 'Why would one just gift wrap a box and leave it in the middle of the room?' . As I unwrapped the packaging and opened the box I found two jumbo sized packets of Hershey kisses chocolate and a hand gun at the bottom which seemed like a Glock 19. Interesting combination for a gift Divya stated and I read the note that was stuck on the underside of the box 'Come down to the shooting range on the third floor' I smiled excited at the aspect of learning how to use the weapon.

As I entered the room I saw Natasha already firing rounds of shots into the target set up at the range as I entered the room she looked up and smiled a little and gave me the goggles and ear muffler. She then adjusted my stance and "Two handed grip is more stable and accurate so let's start with that. First hold the gun with your dominant hand and place it high on the grip and keep the index finger of your dominant hand extended and against the frame of the gun and the last three fingers around the base of the grip and hold it firmly" she instructed and then helped me adjust the grip of my non dominant hand when she was satisfied she told me to inhale and pull the trigger as I exhale. We practised it a couple of rounds and I while I was no James Bond I still managed to hit the target.

"I joined shield because I have red in my ledger and I would like to wipe it out and shield gave me the opportunity" Natasha spoke which confused me at first but then I realised she was answering the question which my drug induced self had mockingly asked a few months ago. As I was about to about say something an agent entered the shooting range and said "Agent Romanoff , Agent Malhotra Director Fury wants to brief you on an undercover mission please report to the briefing room" I smirked at this as I already knew what the mission was. It had been a few weeks since all the events of Ironman 1 had taken place from the time Tony Stark was kidnapped I was following the news carefully and also requested Fury to keep an eye on him. I was worried when I saw Tony's fight with Obadiah on the television but I believed in him and also the set events that was going to happen. Fury nearly blew a gasket when he heard Tony's "I am Ironman" conference in the following day but I just stood there with my eyes closed as tears silently rolled down my face as I excused myself and locked myself up in the room as my brain conjured up horrible memories from that dreaded movie.

Now I was dressed up in a white tee shirt which had a science pun on it which read "The universe is made of protons, neutrons, electrons and morons" bought by Clint as a joke but I ended up loving it and a pair of jeans as I was following the gorgeous and extremely smart Pepper Potts through the futuristic hallways of the Stark mansion. Natasha was also with me but she's disguised as a notary to take care of the legal transfer of ownership of Stark Industry. Me? You ask ? Little ol' me was here under a fake internship program for young inventors created by S.H.I.E.L.D and was undercover as a budding young science geek. It was the perfect opportunity to spend time in one of the most advanced labs and also interacting with my favourite MCU character Tony Stark. Isn't this just a fake internship why are you so excited about the lab? Divya asked as I scoffed saying 'It might be fake for Fury but for me this is as real as it can get so I am gonna let my inner science geek free and learn as much as possible after all when can I get another opportunity to ask all my questions regarding the Iron man armour'.

We had almost reached the training room where Tony would be having a boxing match against Happy when suddenly my mark started throbbing as I grabbed the back of my neck and stumbled a bit but Natasha caught me my vision turned white as my surroundings melted away and there was a new sight in front of me. I found myself on a cliff's end which seemed familiar when it struck me that this was Vormir as I saw a figure fall down the edge of the cliff I tried to move to do anything to help the person but I couldn't move as if I was just a spectator as tears began to fill my eyes. The scene changed again as I saw a gauntlet with the six infinity stones shining and a person screaming as a multitude of colourful beams of light split the sky. I shuddered at the primal and guttural scream which shook me to my core and then heard a voice whisper a single sentence at the end the end will be the beginning.

I snapped out of my daze and saw Natasha's concerned face in front of me but a memory flashed in my mind 'It's okay' as Natasha pushed herself against the cliff. I turned to look at pepper as another memory flashed 'We're gonna be okay.... you can rest now' Pepper said as Tony's arc reactor flickered off'. My breathing began to become shallow as the felt like it was closing in on me. I quickly jumped up and muttered out "I am sorry Miss Potts would you please excuse me" as I bolted across the holidays hallways not looking where I was going as I skidded to halt in an empty hallway as my lungs started to hurt. I hunched down against the wall and brought up my knees to my chest as I tried to block out all the images out of my brain but in vain as I saw Tony's charred body, Natasha's unseeing eyes at the bottom of a cliff, the flame of life extinguishing from Loki's eyes as he was strangled their unmoving eyes portraying all their pleas and cries as if begging me to save them but I couldn't. 'We will save them Divi please breathe ..... breathe Divi' Divya tried to help me but even she was powerless as I choked out 'I .... Can't ..... Breathe'.

"Miss it seems that your heart rate has increased has exponentially and you are experiencing extreme nausea, chest pain ,shortness of breath and body tremors these all point to a panic attack. I have to contact Sir in case of medical emergency" said a familiar British voice which I realised was Jarvis. "No.... please don't tell .... Mr Stark .... I'll be fine" I croaked out my breath coming out in short pants. "I am afraid miss this is against my protocols but don't worry help is on the way" Jarvis spoke with tenderness in his voice which was surprising. I cursed silently and rest my head against my knees as I tried to bring my breathing under control tears still streaming down my face when suddenly I heard footsteps coming to stop in front of me as a warm hand touched my shoulder which caused me to flinch "Hey kiddo .... Look at me" a voice spoke as I raised my head and came eye to eye with Tony Stark. "Breath kiddo follow my breathing" I tried to but I still couldn't and was getting dizzy due to lack of oxygen as I rasped out " I ..... can't..... Mr Stark". His face became even more worried but kept his voice steady and said "Alright tell me the first twenty elements of the periodic table". My brain couldn't process as I so eloquently asked "Huh?" "First twenty elements kid get on with it".

Just like that my brain went into auto pilot mode as I rattled off the names "Hydrogen, Helium , Lithium, Beryllium, Boron , Carbon, Nitrogen , Oxygen, Fluorine......" by the time I reached the twentieth element calcium my breathing evened out and my vision was clearer. "There you go kid" Tony said with an uncharacteristically soft smile on his face as he pulled me up. "Thank you Mr Stark" I said but he just waved me off and began walking in front of me forcing me to walk faster to keep up with him "I have had these before so I understand a little." My heart broke as I remembered his experience at the terrorist camp as I saw the seemingly unbothered man before me but I knew better.

A/N : Well that was one way to make a lasting impression . What do you think those visions meant ?
