At the last moment, I flew away from the remains of Sokovia. My eyes were fiery, and my body felt free. Like I could become one with the elements, therefore ending my life.

That's all I wanted. To end my life.

Pietro was gone because of me and my complete selfishness, and I couldn't sense Wanda, so I assumed she was dead too. Now I had absolutely nothing.

Then it hit me. I had my book of names—a book with every person who has ever hurt me in my lifetime. With my new powers, assassination would be much more comfortable. So I wiped my tears and went home.

Once I got my book of names, everything felt better. I could now do what I do best.

Suiting up, I went around my house, saying goodbye to everything. I wouldn't be returning here ever again. I flew out of my house and onto my first target. They would never know what hit them.

There was a man who was the CEO of a vast and essential company. He found me at a bar once and decided he wanted me for his pleasure. Being beautiful often had its downfalls. Of course, it can sometimes help me get into places that ordinary people wouldn't be able to get into, especially when it comes to getting information about things that I shouldn't suppose to be getting.

I blasted through the window into his office. Glass shattered everywhere, including on the man cutting him severely. I smiled as I floated into his office. I hovered above the glass so my feet wouldn't be cut even though I would heal much faster than before because of my powers.

"Remember me, sir? The one you thought was the most beautiful woman in the world? The one you brought home and used for your guilty pleasures? But you don't know the real me. I am the assassin Nightmare. Controller of the elements and master of the mind. You're my next kill."

He looked so afraid at what I said. It humored me. I knocked him out of his seat, and he stepped close to the broken window. I got uncomfortably close to him. He tried to fight against me, but I stopped him with my mind. He struggled, but it was utterly useless. However, he didn't know which made it even better.

I grabbed his shoulders and lifted him. The look on his face was priceless. He was frozen in fear and knew what I was about to do. I smirked and threw him out of the window. I looked down and laughed. Another day. Another kill.

I flew through the air, and I felt so free. I tried to forget my old life and now knew my brand new life was on track. Nothing and no one could stop me. No matter what.

Nightmare will always win.
