Chapter One: The Hounds
There are so many mottos or quotes that people live by in this day and age. "The sky is the limit," "It is what it is," "Don't judge a book by it's cover," "Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some" and so on and so forth. And Katherine Petrova is no different. She lives by this quote everyday because she knows how true it really is.
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
Everyday Katherine reminds herself of this. Life isn't fair and no matter how hard you try, you will always fall. But there is only so many times you a pick yourself up and dust yourself off, before it becomes too much. Everytime you fall, you lose a piece of yourself to the villain. She knew that all too well. Katherine called herself a villain at one point, no matter how many times people only called her an 'anti-hero'. She didn't fool herself, she only wanted to help when it benefited her. She stole, lied, cheated and even killed for her own amusement, until she was caught.
The Avengers caught her as she was stealing from a jewelry store. She couldn't help herself, all those pretty jewels sitting in the glass boxes. No one to appreciate them, they were just sitting there collecting dust. So she broke in after dark and started collecting pieces. Then a shield was thrown into the wall behind her, at that point she knew she was caught. But that didn't mean she was going down without a fight. And oh a fight she put up, she ended up in cuffs but many of the Avengers ended up with scratches, bruises and a few broken bones. Katherine is a fighter, no one could deny that.
But even being caught and in a holding cell, Katherine couldn't have cared more. She'd get out and go right back to what she always did. When a man in a black trench coat and an eye patch approached her cell, she just smiled. She expected to be told that she was going to jail, never to see the light again, that she was the lowest of the low. But what she didn't expect was to be offer a position as an Avenger, no THAT never crossed her mind. She didn't deserve it, the hell if she did, but Nick Fury saw something in her that not many others did. And that started to change Katherine, and started her to think more. Thinking wasn't something she liked to do many more, she honestly even loathed it. The offer was almost too good to be true. She could change, have others to rely on, she could make a difference. Fury let her think on it for a few days before coming back for her answer, and I'm sure you guessed what she choose.
Now Katherine finds herself walking the streets of New York, on her way to Stark Tower or the Avengers Tower, whatever it was called now-a-days. Her high heels clinked on the sidewalk as she walked, her hair blowing slightly behind her. She seemed like a model with how she walked, the confidence flowing off of her in waves. Maybe it was the cat in her. Katherine smirked a little to herself as she thought that, a lot of her personality was because she was part cat. She liked attention, she loved sleeping, she was very temperamental, and she was very mischievous. Borderline Loki mischievous.
So lost in thought Katherine almost missed the building projectors staticing, almost. Jumping out of her thought, Katherine looked up and stopped, as did almost every other pedestrian. The static was still there and finally the noise followed. Whispers and mutters filled the sidewalks, as did tire screeches as taxis and cars stopped. The static on the monitors only lasted a few minutes before a things started popping back up, but instead of all the advertisements it was a home video. In the video stood three men, all in black and wearing a skull mask that covered their noses and mouths. All three men wore what looked like SWAT vests, and their hair was soaked. From what Katherine noticed one man had two toned hair, and one had a hood over his head so one his eyes could be seen. All three of them looked tall and muscular. More whispers filled the street as people looked up at the monitors, confusion and fear written on their faces. The only emotion that struck Katherine was confusion. It was obvious that these men could be a threat, that they were not 'good guys' but what did they want? And why make a home video to intimidate people? Why not blow up a building or even fight the Avengers? Finally the man with the two toned wear spoke up.
"Hello people of New York. Now I'm sure all of you are wondering what's going on here, but all will be explained. Don't worry." a smirk could be hear from his voice from behind the mask.
"You see we've been in the shadows, watching, observing. And we believe that it's time for us to come out of the shadows and do what we've always wanted to do." the man continued.
"And that's to show you the error of your ways," the man in the hood spoke up. "You all believe that your safe. That nothing can harm you."
Warning bells started going off in Katherine's head, not because of the threat. No, that wasn't something to worry about. But the men's voices sounded familiar, almost too familiar to Katherine.
"You think that your little band of misfits will protect you, that you have nothing to fear. That's false." the hooded man continues, almost in a rant. Which was again familiar. "But some of you are innocent, and won't be bothered. The ones we want are the criminals, the ones that the so called Avengers protect. Because they think that their worth saving. What a joke!" the hooded man laughs, bringing a chuckle from the other two men.
"They aren't worth the dirt under my shoe! They're not worth housing and feeding. What they are worth is a pile of dirt on top of them!" the man rants more before the man in the middle places a hand on his chest.
"Enough brother," the middle man states. Katherine sucks in a breath, feeling her heart flutter. Why, she didn't know. The man in the middle looks to the screen and starts.
"What we want is to cure this world of scum and give you safe haven. A real place to call home, somewhere where you have no fear, no worries about walking to streets at night. No worries about shootings or anything else." he states in a gruff voice. Katherine wanted to look around her to see what peoples reactions were but she couldn't move her head. Her eyes were glued to the projectors, to the three men. But she could hear people agreeing and most disagreeing.
"We are here for you, believe that." the man finishes, which lets the first man start again.
"We're the Hounds of Justice, we are The Shield," suddenly the middle man puts his fist out, which causes the other two the fist bump.
"Rollins." the man with the two toned hair states.
"Ambrose." says the hooded man.
"Reigns." middle man finishes.
And with that the video goes straight that static, and Katherine's breath disappears.
'No, no, no, no, NO!' she thinks, her eyes wide as she continues to stare at the black projectors. Her mind reels as she tries to make sense of what was last said. She couldn't believe it. No, she wouldn't. She has spent too long trying to forget, she couldn't start thinking again. Not now. Suddenly her phone rings. Shaking her head and trying to clear her mind, she reaches into her back pocket to grab her phone. Not even bothering to look at the caller ID she swipes the answer button and places it to her ear.
"Hello." was she simple greeting.
"Did you see it?" Fury asked, not bothering with pleasantries.
"Yes."
"Get to the tower." and the line went dead. Katherine pulls her phone from her ear and looks up to the blank projectors. She really hopes that her past wasn't coming back to haunt her.
