“Ughhh….” I groan out as I sleepily open my eyes. I feel like a truck ran me over. My vision is a little bit blurred and I slowly sit up in the bed I was sleeping in. I rub my eyes and look around still trying to get my bearings.
After a little while the pain in my head fades away and I see a room that isnt my room. As I inspect everything another thing gets apparent. I have a body that should not be mine. A long drawn out sigh escaped my lips and I massage my temples. I cross my legs and try to shuffle through my memories. Oddly enough I remember them far clearer than in my second life.
I died in my first life the second I wanted to ascend to a higher plane and awoke as a normal child on earth. My memories came back during early childhood, because a baby couldn't comprehend my memories fortunately. I didn't want to live as a baby with nothing to do. Regardless, the earth didn't really had much qi or any energy it was hard to cultivate so I just enjoyed a rather mundane life. The end of my life is a little foggy. Until I was around 17 years the memories are still rather clear, but after that they are rather foggy and I don't remember much. I don't even know how I ended up here, but I guess I did somehow.
That brings me to my third and current life and here things are getting interesting. Firstly I am 17 years and tiny. I am around 1,45 meters. But that isn't the weirdest thing about my body. No, that win clearly goes to my bright pink hair and pupils. I looked over my memories several times to see if they are colored, but they are completely natural. How is that possible! Well there could be a few explanations, but that can of worms I will handle after I got everything sorted out.
I’m highly intelligent or at least better than most of my classmates. I'm nearly on top of my class in the grade department. That could be because some of my knowledge bleed through to my third life. Somehow all of my memories were suppressed as I was born and only awakened now on my 17th birthday. I didn't know why, but I had an inkling.
Back to my school situation. I was a rather nice borderline naive person and most of the time just good natured and bubbly. Add my short height and pink hair and I was downright adorable. I have to stress this hear and say I am really really cute. That worked in my favor at the beginning until of course some kind of snobby girl had to take offense to that and I got picked on. So I had only two friends at school. Personally I didn't have a problem with that and would take revenge, but my previous self didnt even notice the blatant bullying.
Other than that my hobbies were more on the artistic side. I drew a lot and was really good at it. Additionally I loved singing and playing piano and was in our theater club. I really liked these hobbies and did some of this even in previous lives rather often, so this was another trait that just was ingrained in my soul.
Now that was all rather mundane information and I sigh again. I had ignored the glaring issue long enough. The last bit of information is rather important if not the most important. My Name is Lillith ‘Lilly’ Hill. Daughter of one Maria Hill, Deputy Director of SHIELD. I landed in the Marvel Universe and probably one based on the MCU. At least the events I have memories of are of the MCU and all the Characters look like their cinema counterparts.
On one hand that is super cool, because it's marvel and I am really giddy to meet all these famous people and it's marvel! On the other side, it's marvel and the marvel universe is really dangerous. At least the MCU is on the weaker side in the multiverse. Then again there are probably differences. Firstly I am here and secondly I have Gwen Statcy and Felicia Hardy. Felicia seems to be a younger version of herself and Gwen seems to be the version of Into the Spider-Verse. So Characters that aren't really in the MCU can show up.
That brings me to when I am exactly right now. I am after Iron Man 1 and 2 and Tony found the new element. Thor visited Earth and Banner is already Hulk. We are around the end of 2011 so I have around half a year if I remember correctly to prepare for Loki. I don't want to change too much until after the attack, because it's kind of important, but after that I will completely throw out what happens. I don't care about the timeline and will try to fix things the best I can.
That gets me to why I actually woke up so to speak. I feel a little bit different. I feel stronger, faster and my senses are sharper. I will look into the changes of my body later when I’m outside, because who knows what will happen. Additionally a few bugs are in my room. At least my mother had the decency to not put cameras in here and the bathroom. The whole house is filled with bugs and cameras. That shouldnt suprise me as my mother is second in command in SHIELD.
Now I should be completely human. I tested my DNA with my friend. The actual genius in my year and one of my best friends Gwen. She kind of has not many friends, because she is mostly studying and after we were partnered with a science project we hit it off pretty easily. She asked about my hair and wouldn't believe me that it is natural. So we look at my DNA. Turns out I am completely human. I didn't seem to have the X-gen and nothing else strange in it. But something did change with my 17th birthday so my guess is now somebody tempered with me and the obvious method would be magic.

I stretched a little bit on my bed and finally stood up now that I have taken stock of my memories. I look around my room and chuckle a little. I really like the color pink. My whole bedroom is pink and I have seemingly only stuff in the shape of pink and a few related colors. I quite like it so I will leave it that way. I switched to some comfortable sport leggings and a pink hoodie to go out.
I have to look into my capabilities and then talking with my mother and Nick. That will be…. interesting. But First I have to talk to my mother that I will be losing my babysitter. I don't want her to worry and I will leave my smartphone here. It's a little risky, but she probably has a tracker in it. I call her and don't have to wait long until she answers.
“Hi, sweetheart.” I hear my mom say it with a really nice tone. It's hard to picture this hard Agent with the image of a loving mother. Before I can answer she is already talking again. “Happy Birthday, sweety! I am Sorry that I am not at home today, but my boss” I hear her displeasure in her voice and picture her glaring at fury. “did not allow me to take free today. I will make it up to you on the weekend!”
I chuckle at that. “It's okay Mum. I know you have a lot to do! Butt tell Uncle One-eye he owes me one!” Oh yes Fury is kind of an uncle figure for me even if he isn't really good with children and I will take so much advantage of that.
Mum chuckles on the other end. “So any reason why you called?”
“Well yes and please let me finish first. I will have to kind of test a few things and I have to be alone for that. So I will go outside and look for a suitable place. Now that may sound weird, but I will lose my babysitter. So please don't panic and before you ask or try to deny things I know about him or her. I know a lot more stuff and will tell you everything tonight! I will explain everything so please trust me on this. And take Uncle One-Eye with you. He probably wants to hear that too.” I say in one breath.
The lind is silent for a few seconds and there is probably a lot going on in her mind. “I don't know what you are talking about.” It's silent again for a few seconds. “But if you go out, be careful where you are going. It's dangerous alone for a little girl like yourself, sweety.”
Her tone changed and sounds a little more defensive and more like her workmode and less like she is in mother mode, but there I can still hear the worry in her voice. “Will do mum. Love you and until evening!”
Her voice is still a little bit filled with worry. “Love you too.” and then she hangs up.
I tossed my phone onto the bed and stretched myself. I put the hood on top of my head. I'm still fairly obvious with all my clothes in pink, but maybe it will help. I leave my room and hop down the stairs. We have a rather nice house in a rather good area. My mums does get a lot of money. I walk outside and look around. I begin jogging at a moderate pace for normal people. With my senses it's easier to track people even without seeing them. At least with only my knowledge of my previous life it's enough to see if somebody is following me. I identify my tail rather fast. Probably not the best agent, but not the worst. Mum wouldn't let somebody incompetent watch me. Still he is a little lax and likely doesn't really think it possible for a normal 17 year old girl to find him. Additionally he looks more for threads than me. I would love to know if my mother informed him after I called her.
Well, time to lose him or her. I stop at a little alley and have a rough estimate about my capabilities. I could run at that pace forever and possibly just outrun him, but that would be boring. The alley I stopped has a fence at the end that seems hard to get over and the door seems locked. I look into the direction of my tail and now see that it is a blonde woman. No idea who so I don't recognize her from the movies. I wink at her and giggle a little at her baffled expression and sprint in the alley. I hear her running after me and the moment Im near enough I jump with force over the fence. I look behind me as I am in the air and see her running in the alley.
I wave at her. “Bye and sorry. I will tell my mum it was not your fault.” I got a pretty long sentence across, I miscalculated my strength and shot a little bit over my goal. I giggle again at the dumbfounded look of the agent as I sail several meters above the fence. I land in a roll on the other side. My hoodie gets a little bit dirty, but everything else is fine. I have not even a scratch. So I am definitely superhuman. Now the question is how much.
After the roll I take off in a sprint and maneuver the backalleys. To not lose too much speed I run a little bit on the walls when I have to take a turn. Its not the best place to test my speed, but I just want to get as far away from the agent as possible.
After around half an hour I slow down and look for a suitable place. After another half an hour I see a little rundown yard with a fence. Nobody is in the area so I just jump over the fence and let out a breath. I am not really winded. I stretch again and look around. I see a lot of debris and a half fallen in the warehouse. Seems like this ground isn't used anymore.
I look for a suitable spot where I am not seen anymore from outside and sit down. I cross my legs and close my eyes. Before I stress test my body I want to look how it actually changes. We are in marvel so there should be a lot of energy to cultivate with. I have my own cultivation method and using it I should be able to look inside me. I take a deep breath and slowly start to feel the energy. I slowly feel the vast energies that suffuse this whole universe. I feel one kind of energy deep inside me, but I can't really grasp it. It feels like a black hole for my senses. I frown, but calm myself again.
I take a deep breath and try to move the energy inside me. The moment I touch it I cry out in agonizing pain. I fall down and curl myself up as my whole body is in pain. Slowly my vision is getting dark and the last thing I see before I fall unconscious are orange sparks.
