FIRE BREATHER.
007. | ❛ you're not just a goddess. ❜

Seraphina couldn't comprehend what she had just heard. She had a family, she had a siblings, and she didn't ponder that she was also a goddess. Nothing in her long life on this earth could've prepared her for this situation. She held onto Steve's arm and slowly backing away from everyone.

Every sound that existed in the room, the pleas, the loving words exchanged between her siblings, Seraphina just couldn't deal with it today or ever. All her life Seraphina lived by herself sometimes struggling to even find food to ease her hunger. She's never known affection or what it meant to have a family because she was abandoned. A word that would always haunt her her whole life. Every scar, every decade, every face would reminder her of her burden on this earth.

The only voice she focused on was that of her brother's who was pleading with her to listen to his side of the story. "We didn't abandon you, all this time we've been looking for you. And we did. We found you. I can't imagine what you've gone through this entire time."

Seraphina took what Thor said to heart and certainly was angering the fire breather by the note in hair color. She started to let go of Steve's hand to be closer to her family.

"You're right about one thing, brother. You can't imagine what I've been through. Let's start with how I managed to survive all this time or how many times I tried to kill myself because of my abandonment issue. Or how about not having a family for over decades! What about the stories they tell about me? The dangerous and fearful dragon that ruins very thing she touches, do you know what it's like to be labeled as a monster? I was left abandoned with nothing. No food, no home, no family, nothing. Why? If you claimed to have loved me so much, why did you abandoned me?" Seraphina angrily asked, being the only one who was raising her voice.

"It wasn't us, it was our half brother Loki, God of Mischief. He casted you to live on Midgard, none of us knew what happened to you. Conspiracies rose that you abandoned us, but we held onto hope because you loved us, you loved your family to much to leave them. We received word that you were here, here on Midgard living for all these years. And if you would like, we would love to take you home." Emilia spoke calmly to Seraphina, who was building up a wall to her siblings.

Seraphina noticed that she was the only one of her siblings with red hair that changed. Her siblings had golden hair, the complete opposite of her hair color. It's at this time that Seraphina noticed how pissed she was with everything, with her half brother, with her family taking so long to find her, or even how they were fighting in front of all the people that she considered family. The Avengers realized how Seraphina was one word from exploding hell on everyone.

"For so long I've wanted a family, something to call mine. And now that it's here, I just feel that no amount of words will ever fix what was done to me." Seraphina gave up and started to walk away from the whole situation with tears in her eyes. Thor didn't give up so easily, grabbing a hold of his sister, "We know that, but we are here now to fix and recover all the time we've lost."

"Please let go of me." Seraphina whispered

"We honestly mean every word we said. We're sorry." Emilia took Seraphina into her grasp and while it was suppose to be a caring motion, Seraphina didn't see it that way.

Suddenly every moment that Seraphina felt hatred toward the world engulfed her innocent soul into the one creature that was feared by most. Her red hair turned into a scaled head with emerald eyes and nostrils that could eject flame. The arms that she once had turned into enormous wings with a matching tail she used to break the window. Whenever Seraphina turned into her dragon form, she forgot about everything. All she could feel was anger and the only way to turn her back was by a action of love so powerful that made her come back to her senses.

"That's why she never wanted anyone to annoy her." Natasha said

Seraphina roared in Natasha's direction before crashing the rest of the glass windows and making her way outside. Her wings carried her to the point where she was in the thunder that she was so afraid of. The clouds were still dark grey with bolts being visible, Seraphina knew that she would have less of a target in the sky. The zoom of Tony' suit made it clear that she had company and more to follow.

She let out a roar with fire flushing out of her throat in a attempt to hurt Tony. Luckily, Tony dodged Sera's attempt but knew that there was more to follow. Thor made his approach but didn't want to hurt his sister in the slightest, "Seraphina, you don't have to do this. We can talk this out. Don't be the monster that people claim you to be."

But she couldn't filter out the anger she had built up on the inside, she couldn't be the bigger person this time. Seraphina can't control the other side of her, it was pent up aggression that hasn't been released. And it was released on people she actually cared about.
Seraphina used her wings to try and bat away Tony and Thor but they just kept trying to console her back to the innocent girl. One thing was for sure that Seraphina couldn't stay in the air for much longer due to the lack of fire in her system. The thunder was draining her from her resource, ultimately making Seraphina make her descent to the ground.

But she wasn't giving up her fight just yet, and noting that she was now face to face with the rest of the Avengers. She hovered over everyone, waiting for Thor and Tony to come down to finish what they or she started.

Seraphina growled at all of them before letting out a fire roar up in the air. She could see what she was causing everybody to think of her, that she was truly the monster they described. Seraphina looked up once more before feeling a little drowsy, and loosing strength to continue.

The Avengers could see Seraphina's low hovering and could tell something was wrong. Slowly, the scales started to disappear from the young girl and was brought back as the innocent soul she once was. The tail, the wings, the scales were all gone. Seraphina's body hovered in a glowing manner and suddenly dropped but not to the ground. She was graciously caught in Steve's arms and was the last sight she saw before slipping into unconscious.

They all looked at the danger that Seraphina had caused but looked to see what state Seraphina was in with bruises lining up her face. As if turning into a dragon actually brought her harm each time she turned. Steve noticed the color of her hair, it was no longer the flaming red color but more of a peaceful crimson.

Seraphina was laid on a hospital bed, ironically the same one she had when she was first attended to by the Avengers. They all decided that what Seraphina needed was space and that any one of their faces could launch a war. But it didn't stop Steve or Tony from checking in on her from time to time.

Emilia and Thor knew what would be helpful to Seraphina in this type of situation. A person that helped her once before was summoned by the Odinsons to calm her down. Even though Emilia was the healer of dragons, she couldn't heal Seraphina until she knew how to control the dragon inside.

The woman played with Seraphina's hair, the trait that she and Sera had in common. Sera could feel a touch but one that felt foreign but so familiar.

The woman smiled back at Seraphina, who gently smiled back as well.

"Who are you? Where's my family?"

"My name is Isa Odinson."

"So you're my sister?" Seraphina positioned herself up

"Yes, and so much more than that."

"What are you?"

"I'm just like you, a dragon. Not a fire breather but one of ice." Isa spoke so calmly waving her hand in a nice motion and revealing a small snowflake.

"But I thought I was the only one, considering I'm the goddess of dragons."

"My darling sister, you're not only a goddess. You're the queen of dragons."
