I shot upright, due to another nightmare.

I was in a bedroom that didn't have any frequent scents. An unusual room, I thought as I got up a little cautiously.

I didn't recall going in this room, or ever seeing it. I noted that I was in my human form, and walked out the door.

I didn't recognize this floor, I thought as I slowly approached the elevator. I walked into the small space, I went rigid when the doors closed and the elevator started moving up.

The doors opened and I could hear people talking, everyone's scents filled the air.

I shifted into a small house gecko and ran across the room.

I was running along the floor, but I must have caught someone's attention because someone's hand covered me a moment later.

"Caught it," I heard Clint say as he picked me up.

I bit his finger.

"Rude," I heard him say.

The Soldier walked over, "Are you sure that's a lizard? Long way to crawl for nothing," Clint pointed his finger at the Soldier.

I was dangling from the end. I wiggled around.

The Soldier cupped his hands and I let go of Clint, falling into the Soldier's hands.

I darted out of his hands, up the flesh of his arm, and onto his back. I shifted into a cuban knight anole, revealing my identity.

"It's Radley," I heard Steve say as I started crawling around the Soldier's back.

I jumped off of his shoulder and turned into a hyacinth macaw, flying onto the fridge in the other room.

"Hello." I said in a bird voice, ruffling my feathers.
