The Marvel Legacy

I don't know when it happened,
But on that day it changed everything.
I realized I had hours missing.
I woke up in the morning and,
I have bruise's and cuts over my body.
I don't remember anything that happened.
I went into spy alert.
I had to find out what was happened.
I had strange thoughts and ideas,
That didn't make sense,
Nothing seem to fit.
So I set the alarm and went to bed.
I awake in the morning,
Relieved the alarm is still set,
Yet, more bruises and a deep cut.
I rewind the camera.
I just stare into the camera,
Not believing anything that I'm seeing.
Then in a lightning flash,
I am in a shiny suit as I see a man,
Who stands before me.
Sergeant Marvel, Are you ready?
Your mother is waiting.
I fall on the bed sitting unable to speak.
I continue staring as I see,
Myself and this man disappear.
I start yelling " Was someone,
Gonna tell me, I have a Mother and,
I'm the daughter of Captain Marvel."
She appears in front of me,
With tears in her eyes,
She tells me I wanted to protect.
This is why we're training you.
I could not lose you, Cassie.
I run into my Mom's arms , crying.
I'll never let you go, Cassie.
I will protect you until your ready.
