I'm all alone now

Andrew's life had not changed much even though he was in the MCU. The only changes were that he lived in New York, his parents had slightly different jobs, another school, along with new people.

His life was also the same as before. Same looks, grades, etc. The two most important things that changed in Andrew's life is one, The MCU. Without it, Andrew has been in a semi depression state since his teenage years. He was not lost, however, for he found solace in the form of heroes like the old war veteran Captain America, superpowers and legends.

The second thing that changed him happened during his birthday.

*

Andrew had just finished high school, but he didn't have any set plan in mind. His parents had decent jobs, therefore, he didn't have to worry about it for some time. The real problem was that they would eventually get sick of always having him around. None of that mattered though because he could feel that he was close to something fantastic, it felt like when you have a word stuck in the tip of your tongue. Either that or he was unlocking his chuunibyou(even though he was 18).

June 22nd, 2008

Andrew had just graduated high school about ten days ago and went to a rather fancy restaurant with his parents for his birthday.

"Come on, sing Andy!!"

"Yes, sing sing!!"

While on their way back his parents had the brilliant idea to make him sing to a song on the radio.

"No no, you guys know I don't sing."

"Please, just this once." His mother said while discreetly taking out her phone and started to record.

"Urgh, fine, just this once" Andrew agreed only because this day was a special occasion. So he started to sing very slowly at first then once he got into the mood everybody inside the car started to sing. Andrew caught his mother recording the event in a moment of her carelessness and pretended no to see.

His father who was behind the wheel checked the vicinity around the car, confirming there was no one, he turned to look behind him, seeing his son happily singing instead of being depressed.

HOOOOOOOOONK!

They were suddenly distracted from their singing from a loud honk outside, all turning to the right to see a car on the seemingly deserted road on a crash course with their's outside. They only had time to express the terror on their faces before the cars collided.

Andrew's car slipped, slid and rolled on the asphalt before coming to a stop upside down halfway in the sidewalk.

A man slowly got out of the car, making his way to Andrew's car. He was slithy injured and was dragging his left foot. He looked inside the car at the family of three and noticed the phone recording. In the moment of despair, he took the phone and deleted the video. He was about to leave but stopped and stole the phone as well.

Mark( Andrew's father) woke up with the worst headache in his life. He noticed that he was upside down, as blood was rushing to his head, making the head injury and headache that much worst. He looked around for answers, only to find his wife hanging limply from the seat next to him and his son in a similar state in the seat behind him. With rough movements and pain assaulting his body at every turn he took of his seat belt.

It was then that Mark remembered what had happened, and tried to shake his wife awake. Lucy, however, did not wake up and when Mark turned her head to him, he saw that his wife had a giant crack in her skull. She was dead.

Grief assaulted him, his wife was dead, the mother of his child. Between all the blood and other smells, he sniffed the smell of gasoline. He looked outside and saw that the car was dripping gasoline near a fire in the engine of the car. He looked towards Andy noticed his son all bloodied and breathing heavily. A look of determination flared in his eyes as he went to Andrew.

Mark unblocked Andrew and kicked the back door down, dragging his son with him. It was then that he took notice of the bleeding wound on his stomach and his strength decreasing every second that passed.

He wanted to at least get his wife's corpse out too but there was no time, the car was about to catch fire and could hardly move.

Mark lightly slapped Andrew, waking him up. He woke up with a groan and a confused look on his face. In the background, he could hear fire and an ambulance in the distance.

"Listen.. son... know that I and your mother.. will always love you. The future will... be... hard, being by yourself... but-" Mark stopped to cough up blood.

"Dad? Daaad!?" Andrew look of confusing turned into grief at his father condition.

"Listen to me... don't let this *cough* affect you, son.. live your life to the fullest... I know in my heart you are meant... for great things... *cough* *cough*" Mark said as he collapsed on top of his son and with the last of his strength he whispered the words 'I love you' to his son.

"DAD!?!? NOOOOOO!!!" Was the last thing Andrew said before he blacked out from exhaustion, in the background an explosion occurred and he could see red and blue lights shining nonstop.

Didn't expect that one now did ya? Hahaha

Now I know that this is a long chapter and can still be counted as the prologue, and there is still the explanation of his powers next chapter before all the action starts, but if you stick with it I promise it will be worth the wait.
