It was a normal Friday afternoon for two certain teenagers. They were walking home from school and heading to a park that was a couple blocks away.
"So, do you want to practice today?" A blonde curly haired girl asked in a hushed tone.
"Sure. I haven't practiced much this week." The dark haired, brown eyed boy replied.
The teens continued on the path and went to a specific area of the park no one knew about. It was covered with trees so no one could see in or out very well. They could barely see Stark Tower through the leaves.
"Ready, Rylee?" The boy asked.
"Ready, Andrew." The girl answered. They nodded their heads at each other and started to 'practice'.
The girl named Rylee had begun to disappear, but her clothes seemed to float in mid air. The boy named Andrew was shooting miniature lightning bolts out of his hands and toward the trees around them. Rylee had become visible again and was watching Andrew. Her eyes grew wide with excitement.
"Andrew! That's great! You couldn't do that last time!" She shouted to him. He smiled and continued.
Rylee, however, went on to shoot burning balls of light from her hands. No, not just fire, but orbs of pure light. She aimed at trees and successfully hit only one tree. She wasn't very good, evident from her not-so-subtle frown. Andrew had decided that he needed to practice his other ability. He calmly looked up at the sky and it become very cloudy. It soon started to rain and wind whipped around them. He smirked at his work as Rylee stopped to watch yet again.
She knew of this power, but almost always had to watch it. When a clap of thunder sounded two vehicles came rushing in through some bushes. The storm stopped immediately. The two teenagers watched with their hands up as five people with guns came out. Then one lady came walking up to them.
"Guns down!" The woman ordered while Andrew and Rylee put their hands down. "Hello, I'm Agent Maria Hill from S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Is that supposed to mean something to us?" asked Andrew.
"Yes," she answered "You two have been on our radar recently. Nick Fury said we need all the help we can get."
"Why does S.H.E.I.L.D need our help?" asked Rylee who was interested.
"I'll have to explain what is going on very soon. Also, Tony Stark is supposed to be joining us."
Rylee instantly came alive hearing the genius's name. The teenagers walk and sit in the black SUV. Agent Maria sits in the passangers side.
"Copy, they are in the car and we are on our way." Agent Maria spoke into her walkie-tallkie.
"So, what's going on?" asked Andrew.
"Loki, the brother of Thor, stole the Tesseract (something that has unlimited power and it's a glowing blue cube), and we need to get it back before he uses it." she expained quickly. "I can't believe Fury gave the order to tell you everything so soon, but he's the boss."
"Where are we going?" asked Rylee.
"You'll see."
After a few minutes they drove to an airport and hopped into a jet looking vehicle. Inside was a man named Agent Phil Coulson and another named Steve Rogers. They shortly introduced themselves. The two teenagers were still a little shocked about what was happening but went with it. The two teenagers had no idea what the future had in store for them.
~~~~~Rylee~~~~~
They talk a little but soon go quiet. This is so awesome though! I can't wait to see Tony freaking Stark! He's awesome! I can't believe it!
I feel the jet begin to take off. Funny thing is, I've never been in a plane, or whatever this is, before. I wish I could fly but I guess I wasn't gifted with that power. Andrew probably could though using wind or something. I doubt my forcefields could help me fly, but to be fair to myself, I never tried to fly. And I get dizzy when I use those fields. I need to train more. Maybe someday...
"I gotta say, it's an honor to meet you, officially. I sort of met you, I mean, I watched you while you were sleeping." said Agent Coulson.
I couldn't help but giggle a little. Steve made an amused face. He glanced at me but quickly looked away.
"I mean, I was... I was present while you were unconscious from the ice. You know-" he continued while Andrew began to whisper to me.
"One of the old ladies that worked from the orphanage talked about him all the time. He's Captain America. He's a legend pretty much. A hero in the war. People would call him The Star Spangled Man. Haven't you heard of him?" he asked me.
"No, not really. I just can't wait for Tony Stark." I said honestly.
"Maybe he'll grow on you." he commented back.
"Everything that's happening, the things that are about to come to light, people might just need a little old fashioned." said Agent Coulson.
All of sudden I felt the jet go up and land on something solid. Just a few seconds ago we were in the middle of an ocean. The back of the jet opens revealing pavement and planes. Oh, are we at another airport? Andrew and I walk out and see we are on a aircraft carrier. Makes sense I guess. Bad guys probably couldn't find us in the middle of the ocean. And what's up with a guy frozen in ice for 70 years? How did that happen?
We see a woman walking towards us. She has red hair and is wearing a red shirt and a jacket. She also has a slight smile on her face.
"There was quite a buzz around here, finding you in the ice. I thought Coulson was going to swoon. Did he ask you to sign his Captain America trading cards?" she asked Steve.
"Trading cards?" he asked.
"They're vintage, he's very proud. Looks like they are starting them out younger and younger. Keep your mouth shut around Nick Fury and you two will be fine." she smiled at us.
She's actually kinda funny. I do wonder why she's here though. Does she have powers like me?!
"Doctor Banner." said Steve while shaking Banner's hand.
"Oh, yeah. Hi. They told me you would be coming." he replied.
"What's you name by the way?" the woman asked.
"I'm Rylee. This is my brother, Andrew." I replied remembering us growing up together. We've been friends since we were very young at the orphanage.
"I'm Natasha. Nice to meet you two." she said while shaking my hand and then Andrew's.
I start to feel the ship begin to shake. What's going on?
"You guys might wanna step inside a minute. It's gonna get a little hard to breathe." said Natasha.
"Is this a submarine?" asked Steve. Exactly what I was thinking. Steve gives me another glance before turnin away again. Why does he keep doing that?
The workers bagan running around securing the planes. Turbines around the edges bagan to spin. Then I felt the ground lift up. This isn't a sub, it's an aircraft!
We walk inside and head toward the control room where a gentleman with an eyepatch was standing.
"Gentlemen." he said. Does he not see me and Natash? He then saw me with his one eye. He was expecting me right? Then my head started to hurt. I close my eyes while still standing up. I didn't want to make a scene after being here for just five minutes.
I think I'm having a vision. I see a guy in a vest. He has bright blue eyes. He picks up a bow. I turn and see an older gentleman rambling on about science and truth. I then hear a voice. An hypnotic voice. Then I see him. A tall man with dark long hair and a smile holding a golden staff looking thing. Is this Loki? He began to open his mouth.
"Let us go then." he simply said.
