So here is my first Avengers fic, hope you like it

P.S - I don't own Marvel, just my OC


I plucked a string on my cello and a cool crisp note rang out in the silence of my apartment. I took a deep breath and plucked another one, slowly raising my bow towards the strings. My well callused fingertips danced across the cello like they were butterflies, touching down the briefest moment and then moving on to the next string.

The low sorrowful sounds that come from the instrument soothe me and I almost forget about my life. About all the problems and threats that have come my way.

Almost. But not quite. They are there in the back of my mind, like an ever present shadow, always there, right behind me.

Playing the cello comes as naturally to me as breathing. My fingers are like a fluid motion, always knowing which string to go to next. My breathing eases as I slip into my mind zone, a hopeful place where I do not live in the shadows, but in the clouds.

And as soon as it starts, it's done. I look up, the airy apartment filled with morning light. I do not want to leave this place, I do not want to go down stairs, but as the sun slowly rises I know I have to. Placing my hands on the cello's smooth dark wood, I play one last tune, a brighter faster one and then finally stand.

Cracking my back, I place the bow on my shelf and prop the cello back in its place on the wall. My apartment is fully illuminated by the sun now, but I close the thin curtains for my own privacy. For all I know, someone could be watching me. Especially SHELD. Now I realize that keeping them open in the morning was a foolish idea, but I had to do that one more time. My skin was pale from lack of sunlight and I only allowed myself few pleasures like that. It was good while it lasted. I walked towards my bathroom, dropping articles of clothing as I went, until I was standing naked in front of my shower.

Turning it to the warmest I could tolerate, I stood there until the water went cold and then finally toweled off.

I didn't have to be at work till 10 so I had some time to wait. Finally choosing some black skinny jeans, black Chuck Taylors and a dark green sweatshirt that read TAKE TO THE ROAD, I threw everything on and attempted to brush my shoulder length paisley purple hair.

Yeah, I have purple hair. You're probably thinking three things right now.

One, that if SHIELD is watching me than why do I live in an apartment with gigantic windows? Well, my job provides it, so I gotta take it. You don't get offered an apartment that's dirt cheap every day and a really nice one at that.

Two, if I don't want SHIELD to find me than why have something so conspicuous like purple hair? I have purple hair. Get over it.

And three. Who am I and why am I being watched by SHIELD? Who am I? That's an easy one. I'm Ezri Verdi Fielding. Shadow traveler and one deadly assassin.


So there was chapter 1!
