Blinding Light - Avengers x F!Reader
Prologue
A/N: I wrote this prologue as a stand-alone story for an assignment in my 11th grade English class almost a decade again, I made it into an avengers story because why not! ANYWAY! this fic will take place after Age of Ultron; Pietro didn't die ok. I may make the chapters correspond with the movies and shows as well but I don't know yet. we shall see, also should I make a taglist??
Warnings: Typical MCU violence, attempted kidnapping, HYDRA, car crashes,

Ever since I could remember, I knew I was different; given I had powers but that wasn’t the point. I knew I was different because I had this knowing feeling that I was destined to do great and save the world. Normal was never in my vocabulary growing up because my unique circumstance gives me the ability to control and emit electricity, blue electricity. My sister also has powers, she can read minds, and our mother, on the other hand, is just a regular human being while our father was quite the man, he was a SHIELD agent who fell in love with my mother. My father was a rehabilitated Hydra agent who was tested on and apparently got the ability to shoot energy out of his hands. He died after a mission went wrong. I was 16 and Marie was only a baby. I’m now 27 and life has been more than difficult, but what can you do in a world full of mystical beings?
I’m pulled out of my thoughts by my mother calling my name. “(Y/n), I need you to go and take Marie to the park, she’s been asking all day and I can’t stop working right now so could you please could you take her for just a few hours? At least until the sun goes down and then I can’t take the three of us out to dinner?”
“Yeah sure, that’s no problem,” I say putting my hair into a messy bun.
“Remember, no powers. We don’t need anything to happen like last time.” She says not taking her eyes off her computer screen.
“Hey, that was an accident, that asshole was getting too handsy and I had to show him I’m not one to be messed with.”
“Yes, I know but it caused a huge blackout that lasted 3 hours,” she says pinching the bridge of her slim nose, she took her eyes off the screen to stare into my eyes with warm, concerned brown ones. “We can’t afford to move again, besides Marie is starting to plant herself here and I don’t think I can do that to her, make her pack up and leave again. Just be careful, I love you.”
“I love you too, I promise no powers” I smile softly at her. “Now where is Marie anyway?”
“Right behind you, now can we go? I really want to perfect my swing jumping before tomorrow because I’m challenging this one girl in my grade.” She says smirking.
Marie was the spitting image of my mother, she had light brown, slime nose, soft warm brown eyes, and thin lips, while I, on the other hand, was almost identical to my father, (h/l) (h/c), with (size) nose, (size) lips, (e/c) eyes.
“Alright, miss bossy let's head out to the park so you can bring ‘Honor to us all’ by winning your little competition.” I grab my phone and we are out the door, walking to the park only a few blocks away from our small 2 bedroom house.
We reach the almost deserted park and I sit on a bench near the swings.
“Marie I’ll be right here, yell if you need me ok?” I tell her pulling out my phone and pulling up Tumblr and catching up on some of the fanfiction I had saved.
“I’m not a child (y/n) I’m 10 almost 11, practically an adult!” she says while walking towards the swings “But if someone tries taking me ill scream”
I just roll my eyes and continue reading. I get interrupted by a call from my mother.
“Hey mom”
“Hey sweetheart, I need you to pick up some milk and eggs on the way home.”
“Alright, is that all? Or do you need anything else?”
“No, that’s all, also how do you feel about Chinese for dinner?”
“That sounds great, alright I’ll see you when we get back I love you”
“Love you too honey”
“Bye.”
“Bye Bye.”
I go back to reading my Game of Thrones fanfiction sneaking glances every few minutes at Marie, but I don’t need to worry because she looks like she’s having the time of her life jumping off the swing.
A short time later I notice the sun starting to go down and become a horizon of pink, purple, and orange. We still needed to get the groceries mom asked for. I look up from my phone only to see a guy grab Marie and start pulling her towards the street.
“Hey, you a-hole! Let go of my sister now or feel my wrath!” I yell, feel my wrath? Really (y/n)?
“(Y/n), help!” Marie yells to me with tears running down her face. Her look is enough for me to disregard my mother’s words; I can already start to feel the electricity course through my veins.
“Oh? And what are you going to do little girl? Throw a soft punch to my face?” the creep asks, smirking.
“You wouldn’t like to find out, now I say this a second time, put my sister down, I won't ask a third,” I say calmly trying to keep it in, can’t let it out here in the open.
“I think I would,” creep says dropping my sister and charging at me.
At that moment everything goes in slow motion. Everything starts going back in regular motion when I hear a woman scream and I see the kidnapper on the grass passed out. I grab a Marie and we high tail it out of the park and run back home as fast as our legs can carry us.

When we make it to our house I release the breath I hadn’t even realized I kept in. I hurried up the stairs, change my clothes and grab a duffle bag shoving in only the essentials and grabbing the stash of cash I had saved up from the tips I gained from my job as a waitress at the local cafe. I have to keep my family safe and the only way I can is by running away and staying as far as I can from them.
“So, this is it? You’re running away? No discussions? Nothing.” I jump. Mom.
“You know this is how it has to be. I screwed up! Big time and I can’t risk your safety for something I did!” I say “I promised dad that if anything happened to him, I would protect you! Both of you,” I kiss her cheek and walk down the stairs only to be stopped by Soojin.
“You’re leaving?” she asks with tears in her eyes.
“I have to protect you both somehow, by leaving this ensures your safety.” I pull her into a big hug “I love you, and don’t you ever forget that.”
Our mom comes down and pulls us both into a hug. “Here, take these, you’re going to need some mode of transportation, also there is about $2,000 dollars in the duffle in the back along with clothes. You can’t wear the things you have if you want to disappear.” I look up at her and grab the keys.
“Thank you mom, I love you so much” I give them both kisses one last time and run out the door to the old beat-up Ford pickup truck that was my father's. I hit the road only after changing into the clothes from the duffle bag which is a simple form-fitting tank top, black leather jacket, dark wash skinny jeans, and brown combat boots.

I was on an empty highway when a random pair of headlights pop up in my rearview mirror. The car had its blinders on. The next thing I knew, I was being rear-ended by a random car, I sped up trying to get away from them. I kept driving noticing I had lost them when I saw another car stopped horizontally in the middle of the two-lane highway.
“Shit!” I yell pressing on my brakes so hard I thought my foot would go through the car’s floor, but it was all in vain. The last thing I remember was the sound of my tires screeching and my windows breaking.
I hear a faint beeping, I try and open my eyes only to be met with blurry overhead lights and pressure around my wrists and ankles, once the blur eases I can see I was strapped to a metal table, both wrists strapped to my sides and my legs strapped apart. I look around the room and see two weird-looking men in white coats and a strange symbol over their hearts. They were mumbling something in a foreign language.
Struggling against my restraints I yell out to them “Why the hell am I here? And where the hell am I?”
“Well my dear you are here because you are the daughter of Elliot Jacobs are you not?”
“What does my father have anything to do with this?”
“Everything my dear, now if you’ll stay still, this will only hurt…..a lot,” the doctor on the right says while injecting me with something and darkness takes over my senses once again.

When I wake once again, my head is pounding; it’s as though someone put a jackhammer on my head and turned it on. I turn to see the same doctors in the corner once again. While their backs are turned, I use my electricity to break the bonds and pull the needles out as gently as I can but even that doesn’t stop the pain. I wince sitting up on the table.
“Well it’s been fun boys but I think it’s time for me to go! Hope to see you never,” I say zapping them, only knocking them out cold. I run out of the room only to be stopped by 5 guards. I smirk and stomp my foot down sending a huge shock wave through the hallway. On my way out I spot another doctor who is about to notify more people of my escape.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you, I just took out 5 of your guards with just a stomp of my foot. Now you go ahead and tell your boss or whoever you work for this if they ever try and come after me again, or my family I will kill each and every one of you. Slowly and painfully, I’ll make sure you feel each and every shock of electricity flow through you. Got it!” I tell him with venom leaking off of every word. “Now if you so kindly point to the way of my things and a car that would be wonderful, and one more thing, if you send anyone after me you’ll greatly regret it.”
He points down another hallway where I see my duffle and I head to the garage where I see a brand new black SUV. I grab a pair of keys off the hook near the door and unlock the car. I check the duffle bag and see that the money is still in there. I drive out of the garage and into the rising sun. I knew I could never go back now, people were watching me, bad people, and if I wanted to keep mom and Marie safe that meant that from this moment on I was a ghost. No communications with them or the life I left behind, I’d do anything to keep them safe even if that meant breaking their hearts.

I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from where I was held. I walk up to the counter with my Arizona Ice tea and candy bar.
“So, where are you headed?
“Excuse me?” I asked confused, pushing up the sunglasses I was wearing to the top of my head.
“Where are you headed? A young girl like you must be headed somewhere for some reason” the cashier said.
“Well I don’t know where I’m going”
“Well, I tell you what, you can have that for free, and here’s a map.”
“Wow, that’s very generous of you,” I say taking my things. “I’ll never forget about this encounter, thank you” I put my things in the SUV and went to the hood, and open the map. It seems I’m in Trenton, New Jersey. Well looks like I know where I’m going now. New York gets ready for me, I’m a force to be reckoned with. I’m Y/n Jacobs and this is my story.
