Ellie Burns always knew she was special- just not Avengers special. She was, to be honest, the messed up kind of special. Growing up in the foster system, she and her younger brother were always overlooked due to her psychological issues. The siblings find themselves in NYC, living normal lives- that is, until Ellie almost burns her school down. {No main ships, pre- CATWS}

1. Prologue

A/N: So hey there! I'm Clover, aka Cloverheart609, and this is my latest story about my OC Ellie Burns. This is my pathetically short prologue, but I plan to have the first chapter up by Sunday at the latest. I know it's kind of hard, considering you know so little about the story but any feedback is welcomed with open arms! Just please don't be an ass about it.

I've always known that I was special- just not in the way the team was special. I was… well, I was the messed up kind of special. I had a grand total of three, sometimes four, mental disorders: OCD, ADHD, anxiety, and a depression that came and went as it pleased.

I was a foster kid, so the state paid for my meds; I had the cheapest available. My system was constantly filled with Ritalin and antidepressants. Emily, my foster mother, hated me for it. She not only thought that I was a druggie and was faking my illnesses to get the pills, but also that I was exposing her precious little 5-year old, Miss Katelyn Wellington, to drugs. Like I'd want anything to do with her.

I would've messed up the situation months ago- 'accidently' put a hole in the wall or cussed out Emily or George –but my brother adored them. And they adored Leo right back. I mean they should, he's a cute kid; eight years old, blond, and just the sweetest little boy. He would've been adopted years ago but we're a two for one deal, me and him. And frankly no one really wants a psychologically messed up teenager. The Wellingtons would already have donned him Leo Wellington within the first few months we were with them but unfortunately I was part of that deal. Neither of us wanted an Ellie Wellington.

So I was trying to behave around this family- for Leo's sake, if nothing else. While we didn't get along very well, they took care of us and that was really all we needed. Besides, it was only for a few more months. As soon as I turned sixteen I would apply for emancipation and get us out of here. I would set us up with a tiny apartment in Brooklyn and we'd sleep on mattresses alone for a while but we would be free. And that was all I really wanted. That was my plan; it was how things were supposed to turn out.

But god knows things never go as planned.
