AN: Hi there! My name is D and this is my story. I thought Avengers was brilliant, and I've always wanted to write a fan fiction, so why not! Here we go!
Chasing The Sun; Recruited
It was dawn when Charlotte Peggy Hamilton got the call from Nick Fury. Of course in the back of her mind she knew that he would eventually call. She was after all, not really human. She was a Sun Chaser.
Charlotte used to be human, but only for a month. She was branded with the mark on hot afternoon when she was about one month old. The mark was a red tribal sun, and it was permanently tattooed to the Sun Chasers, or Sun Chaser in this case.
Charlotte was the last Sun Chaser. Sun Chasers used to be all over the universe, protecting people, and using the sun as their energy source.
Theoretically, Sun Chasers could do whatever the wanted. They could create weapons or heal, both using the Sun's energy. The Sun is not eternal, but it sure does last a long time.
In each galaxy, one solar system has one sun that watches everything. If a planet in a solar system is in massive trouble, a Sun Chaser is created. Unfortunately only one Sun Chaser can exist in each galaxy.
Charlotte happened to be selected as a Sun Chaser in her galaxy, but inside there was a knowledge. There had been a war. The war was when Charlotte was only a tot, but the war wiped out the Sun Chasers, but for some reason no more was created.
Charlotte knew that Fury would soon want her for something, weather it be testing or information, she knew he would call. She brushed her chestnut hair out of her eyes as she talked with Fury.
She was prepared for receiving this call. She wasn't however prepared for the actual purpose of the call. They need her help, not for information or testing, but her help as a Sun Chaser. S.H.E.I.L.D needed her help. What could make the mighty S.H.E.I.L.D need her help, she wasn't sure, all she knew is that wanted to help. Out of curiosity of course.
OoOoOo
When Charlotte had finished packing all of her crap that she might need, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her red tattoo was hidden, out of sight. She had changed into a purple tank top with black jeans, and a grey leather jacket. She slung her green canvas duffle bag over her shoulder and slammed the RV'S door before sauntering out the door to meet the helicopter.
Charlotte's gold eyes shrewdly looked at the dark green aircraft. She sighed before approaching it. She threw her pack to who knows where, and ungracefully sat down. A female agent quickly debriefed Charlotte and then looked out the window in the cockpit. Charlotte eventually shut her eyes and fell asleep to the lull of the engine.
After about 10 minutes or so, Charlotte woke up. The Agent was still staring straight ahead. The pilot was still flying. The engine was still working. Everything was peaceful. This is boring Charlotte thought.
"What's your name?" Charlotte asked abruptly. The agent turned around sharply and simply stated,
"Agent Linda, ma'am. Why do you ask?" Charlotte gave a chuckle before stating,
"We're on an aircraft that's heading for S.H.E.I.L.D.," Charlotte stated before adding in a pathetic voice," And I'm bored." Agent Linda's mouth barley tugged up at the corners before she gave a reply.
"It will only be a few minutes actually." Charlotte eyes widened in surprise. A few minutes? Her eyes trailed down to her watch. It had been about 45 minutes. Wow. Time did fly.
"Ma'am, we are here. Everyone else has already arrived due to the fact they were contacted earlier," Came Linda's sharp voice. Charlotte gasped as she saw a flying aircraft carrier. Aren't they supposed to be in the water? Charlotte wondered.
The chopper landed with ease, and Charlotte sat there for a good 5 minutes before Linda ushered her out. She was escorted to a meeting room that was currently empty, and it overlooked what she assumed to be the control center.
Glee overcame Charlotte. She was closer to the Sun now than she had been at home. She felt its energy, as well as its presence. With a content sight, Charlotte was led to what her room. Her room was rather plain, but it would work. Charlotte then proceeded to unpack her crap. Her clothing consisted of mainly dark garments with either a few purple, or neon articles of clothing mixed in.
The last thing she unpacked was her "suit" so to speak. It was just black suit that she often imagined spies would where with a neon yellow tribal sun on the chest. Her rational mind told her that it was a bad idea. The sun looked like a target, but her stupid pride laughed it off and said let the damn morons try to hit me.
Her "suit" was completed with neon yellow combat boots. Charlotte noticed the time. It was late. She gave a groan. Tomorrow she would meet the rest of the team. She was not really looking forward to that.
With that thought on her mind Charlotte drifted to the realm of dreams, but before her eyes closed, Charlotte felt a bad presence walking by. Normally she would've ignored it, but the odd thing was that she could feel its eyes staring at her through the door.
OoOoOo
Charlotte woke with a groan. Her alarm on her iPod continued to play some random song. She gave a short frustrated sigh before stopping the alarm and getting in the shower.
Her thoughts drifted to her team as she continued to get ready. She had seen their files, and knew a few by reputation. She knew from that stupid manners class that first impressions were important.
Normally she wouldn't care, but this would be her team. She had to get on their good side. Charlotte tried to select something first impression worthy, but ultimately failed.
"Screw this," she mumbled. She settled on a different pair of black jeans, a dark blue shirt, her black leather jacket, and a worn pair of converse. She tied her messy chestnut main in a ponytail. Her brother used to tell her it made her look silly. Charlotte slowly opened the door and was greeted by Linda.
"Ma'am-" Linda began, but was cut off by Charlotte.
"Please drop the ma'am. My name is Charlotte." Linda gave a quick nod before continuing.
"You're late. Director Fury will not be happy." Charlotte gave a snort before entering the meeting hall. Room. Table. Whatever it was. Linda left to go sit in front of a high tech computer, and that left Charlotte alone to face Fury's wrath.
"You're late," came Fury's voice.
"I'm not late you all are simply early," Was Charlotte's reply.
"Punctuality is important," Fury grumbled, "Anyway, this is Charlotte. When she was younger "the Sun" chose her to protect this galaxy. As of now she is your last teammate. I have pressing matters to attend to, so I will let Charlotte explain the rest," Fury said before marching out of the room.
Charlotte's amber eyes observed her team. There were 5 of them, 4 men, and 1 woman. The woman had short curly red hair, and had a black suit that looked similar to Charlotte's, except it was completely black. Black Widow. The man sitting to her right was Tony Stark. She had seen the news enough to recognize him.
The older man next to Stark was the scientist who experimented with gamma radiation. Bruce Banner. The man who was standing up had blonde hair that fell to his chin. He was decked out in foreign clothes. He wasn't on the list. The last member of the team had blonde hair that was styled in an older fashion, and bright blue eyes. Steve something.
"I'm Charlotte Hamilton," Charlotte said with false confidence.
"So you are the mighty Sun Chaser," Thor began, "You have the mark, but do you have the heart?"
His eyes were questioning, as if a human didn't deserve to be a Sun Chaser. Humans were weak and unprotected compared to the rest of the universe, but she wasn't human.
"The Sun chose me for a reason. I'm not sure of the reason but I will fulfill my task, and keep the peace. Whatever the cost may be." Thor gave a nod of approval before Tony began to speak.
"So you're a Sun Chaser. What exactly is that?"
Charlotte gave a sigh and did her best to explain. When she was done, Tony opened his mouth, paused, closed it, and opened it again.
"So the Sun chose a human because Earth is in desperate need of help, and is in trouble?"
"Pretty much," Came Charlotte's reply.
"Well that's a relief," Tony muttered, "But theoretically you could do anything?"
Charlotte gave a sucked in air between her teeth before stating, "I would have to give up my humanity." Tony nodded, and his face looked bored.
"So what's the deal here? What's going on? Fury wasn't exactly clear on the phone," Charlotte said before sitting on the edge of chair, her back erect.
"My brother, Loki, wishes to start war on Earth. He is using the Tesseract to create something. Most likely a weapon. Do you know of the Tesseract?" Thor said with an eyebrow raised.
"I do actually. I have a few memories from Sun Chasers who were previously in this galaxy. The memories are quite fuzzy, but I know sort of know what it is."
"Good," Thor said," Do any of your memories occur on Asgard?"
Charlotte gave a quick shake of her head before Tony said,
"You know you can smile. It's good for you apparently." With that the corners of Charlotte's mouth turned upward.
"You know," Agent Romanov began, "Captain hasn't said a word." The others nodded in agreement and asked the Cap of he was ok.
Before things got complicated, Charlotte asked if she could visit the prisoner, stating,
"I have no quarrel with him, and I'd like to see what I could find out." Natasha gave a quick nod. She began to lead Charlotte to Loki's cell.
As they walked Charlotte thought about how in all honesty she didn't want to see Loki. She was terrified of him. She had to just needed to leave before things got a bit complicated.
Charlotte knew why Steve hadn't said a word, but simply stared at her. Excluding her eyes, she was a spitting image of her grandma, the woman who fell in love with Captain America, Margret Peggy Carter.
AN: Ick. I'm not sure about that, but I have to start somewhere. XD Review? Should I continue or just stop? Need some ideas.
