I slowly walked in the forest, bleeding out in my cheetah form.
The pain in my arm was unbearable, as was the pain in my leg.
I gave out a roar of pain as I accidentally hit my leg against a tree.
Tears streamed across my face and I laid down.
I closed my eyes and tried to relax but I heard a twig snap.
I turned my head swiftly and saw Tony walking towards me with a box.
I tried to get up and run away but my leg collapsed.
I closed my eyes again and then looked at him.
He was sitting down next to me.
He pressed something and his arm had a portion of his suit on it.
He put one hand on my face and brushed away some of my tears.
"Shhhhhh. It's ok. It's ok. I'm just going to get you fixed up and then you can go."
He shot something at me, and it spread like a ring around my torso.
He shot two more and they pinned my paws and feet to the ground.
I growled and tried to struggle but he put another on my neck.
"It's ok. It's ok." He paused. "Kid." He called into his earpiece.
"Yes Mr. Stark?"
"I found her, but she's freaking out, I need your help."
"Yes sir. I'll be right there. Send your coordinates."
He looked at me.
"Look Giselle, Peters on his way. In a few hours, Fury is probably going to have us come and look for you. You need to be careful. He is going to have us bring you in."
I struggled as Peter landed and looked at me.
It probably looked really weird.
A cheetah pinned to the floor by red metallic rings.
"Mr. Stark what can I do to help?" He asked. Taking his eyes off of me.
"Kid, I think right now all she needs is a friend. This is going to hurt like hell and I need you to keep her calm. Web her mouth together if you have too, but she can't make a sound. Fury is going to send us after her. And she needs to be at full strength if she is going to fight us off."
He nodded and sat next to my head.
He pet me, which I would NEVER let ANYONE do, but when he did it it felt nice.
I closed me eyes as his hand reached my neck and then started at my forehead again.
My breathing steadied.
All of a sudden, I felt a horrible pain in my leg as Tony grabbed the bullet with long tweezers.
I roared but Tony said, "Kid!" And Peter webbed my mouth shut.
I squinted my eyes shut as I waited for the pain to be over.
after a few minutes of nothing but pain and petting, he put something on a bandage and wrapped it around my leg.
It soothed the pain a lot, and it felt relaxing.
Until I tried to move my arm.
Then the pain came back and he had to treat that one the same way.
Once it was done he took the rings off and I stood up. I changed back in my human form then hugged Tony.
"Thank you Tony."
He smiled.
"No problem kid."
Then I turned around to Peter.
I hugged him too.
"Thanks." I said.
"I'm really sorry Giselle."
I shook my head.
"It's fine. So much shit has happened in the last few days that I think it would be best to just forget about the past and move on."
He nodded and smiled.
"Sounds good."
I turned around to both of them.
"Well, I guess I'll see you guys later."
They both nodded before we get hired in one big group hug.
"Tony, I really appreciate it. Thank you."
He waved his hand. "It's fine. Just try not to get shot again."
I nodded. "Yeah because I was doing the exact opposite before."
We all smiled.
"Well, bye for real now."
I waved before turning into a humming bird and flying away.
Peter p.o.v
When I arrived to Mr. Stark, my heart broke.
Giselle was laying on the floor, looking in pain and locked to the ground.
She gave a roar of pain and I wanted to cry, I hated seeing her like this.
I had to web her mouth shut to keep her from giving away our location.
Once everything was over, I was relieved to see that she had forgiven me.
I will never betray her trust again.
Watching her fly away was like watching a part of my soul leaving me.
I looked down as she left.
Mr. Stark put his hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him.
"Kid, let's go back. The others will get suspicious."
I nodded and replied, "Yes sir." As he went and packed up his medical supplies.
It was sad how much of her blood was on the floor.
"Mr. Stark?" He looked at me.
"Yes?"
"Do you think that she will be ok?"
He paused. And looked at me.
"Kid, she's my daughter. Whether she realizes it or not, I love her more than everything. I have to believe she'll be ok, or I might go insane."
I nodded, I understood those feelings.
After he had packed up everything, he flew into the air as I swung from tree to tree.
Once we passed the city, I saw something familiar, a small puppy.
I recognized it as Splotch, Giselle's dog.
She was curled up next to her clothes, which were half stuffed not her backpack.
There were bullet holes in the walls of the backpack.
Wow.
Giselle really has been through a lot.
I grabbed her stuff and her puppy and then continued swinging to the avengers tower.
Giselle p.o.v
As I was leaving them, a pain welled up in my chest.
I didn't know why till I thought of Peter.
Peter was a much better person than I gave him credit for.
All of a sudden a helicopter came out of nowhere.
I landed on the floor and turned back into a cheetah.
I ignored the pain in my arm and leg as I ran.
I felt a needle hit me in the shoulder, opposite the wound from Thor.
I slowed down and leaned against a tree.
Everything seemed to blur together.
******************************
When I woke up, I was in a dog cage.
With a muzzle on.
I squirmed.
But it didn't budge.
"So. Sleeping beauty is finally awake."
Fury was in the corner, next to him I saw a window.
We were on a helicopter.
I growled at him.
"Now now, don't misbehave. Your trapped. There's no way you could get out of this. Those bars are made to not let shapeshifters out of them, and you only have that one power. And that's shapeshifting."
He gave me a smug look and I tried not to laugh.
This won't take long.
I turned back into my human form.
"What do you want?" I asked harshly.
I have to act like I'm cornered instead of being in charge of the situation, otherwise, he will think somethings up.
"It's quite simple really. I want you to calm down so I can peacefully put you in a cell and never have to think about you again."
"Yeah... that's not going to happen."
He raised an eyebrow.
"No? Then why are you," he pointed at me, "in there and why am I," he gestured around him. "Out here?"
I laughed.
"Because your an idiot who thinks I've only got one power."
His eyes narrowed and I blew off the door with my mind.
I ripped off the muzzle and walked out of the cage.
The shocked look on his face made ma smirk.
I shoved him into the wall and then kicked the side door open.
We were a lot higher than I thought we were.
I jumped out and then used my mind to keep me suspended in midair.
I looked at the five helicopters escorting us, and made them explode.
Fury looked at me with... well, fury.
Then I made that helicopter explode.
I then I transformed into my dragon and dove.
I needed to find a place to go and hide.
Peter p.o.v
Fury walked in through the front door with a look of anger on his face.
"Avengers! I have a new assignment for you!" He yelled.
Everyone came in.
Fury showed us a picture of a cheetah in a muzzle, unconscious on the floor of a cage.
"This, is Giselle, she is a shapeshifter."
I had a heart attack.
How did she already get caught?
Is she ok?
"Up until an hour ago, she was in our custody."
I stared at him.
Wait, does that mean, she escaped?
"She is a serious threat to SHEILD. in her escape attempt, she exploded six helicopters and killed twenty five of my men in the process. I need you to find her and bring her to SHEILD headquarters where I can lock her up permanently."
Shit.
Fury is NOT going to let this one go.
But I couldn't help but be proud of her.
I mean, yes, she killed 25 people, but that wasn't her fault.
She was escaping and they were high in the air.
As fury left, Mr. Stark and I shared a Look.
The whole avengers team were now going to stop at nothing to capture Giselle, and we both just silently agreed to protect her.
No matter what.
