Chapter 1
Zoe
'Ok you need to chill out,' Sasha said from the corner. I glare at her.
'Would you chill out if you just got kicked out of training for two weeks and give detention because you got into a fight, that you didn't even start,' I snapped. Sasha shrugged.
'It wasn't even my fault, she started it,' I said. Sasha went to the kitchen and got me an ice pack.
'You're going to have a black eye, but that's it. Plus you didn't go easy on her. Broke her nose and probable broke her wrist,' Sasha said.
'Calm down, your hands are on fire,' Sasha pointed out. I look down at my hand. Oh shit. I shake them and the fire goes away.
'ARH! It's just… that… ARH!' I squeaked and my hands set on fire again. 'Oh My god…' I shake them again and they go out once more. I sigh.
'You need to control your powers' Sasha tells me.
'Yeah well you need to get out of my apartment,' I snapped.
'I live here too,' Sasha gets up and walks to the door. 'But fine, if you want me out then. I'll go.'
'Wait… I didn't mean it,' I tell her. Sasha stops and turns around.
'That's what I thought,' she says.
'Anyway, I only need to control my fire power, the mind reading and moving object shit I can control,' I say, as I walk over to the sofa. Our apartment was in the university that me and my sister go to. It's kind of a university for gifted and talented. People who had been picked to get train in assassin stuff and for people with very high IQ. Yeah, me and my sister have a high IQ, yeah I know, you wouldn't believe it when you look at us.
The door opens.
'Hey twins you coming to training,' Jason pops his head around the door. 'Hands' He says looking at my hands. I storm to the bathroom and I turn the tap on before I get into the bathroom. I put my hands under the water. That will stop it for five minutes. I walk back out.
'Tap,' Sasha says. I click my fingers and the tap turns off. Jason looks at us.
'Ok I guess you twins aren't coming then' Jason says.
'Stop calling us that, and I can't go. You saw the fight,' I say going to sit back on the living room sofa as Sasha goes and sits on the kitchen counter. Our apartment, when you walk in has the living room on the left and the kitchen on the right all open space. There's another three doors, one's the bathroom, the other two are mine and Sasha bedrooms.
'Well, you are twins,' Jason says, coming into the room and shutting the door.
'We don't look like each other. Well ok we are twins, but I have red hair and Zoe here has dark brown. Ok we have the same eye colour, brown. Same height, kind of. Same face… nearly, I look more like mum and Zoe more like dad' I roll me eyes at that one. Sasha continues 'And yeah we have the same mum and dad but no we have different personality and everything,' Sasha says as she jumps off of the counter and grabs some chocolate.
'Yeah and you have a unhealthy obsession with chocolate,' I say as she eats the chocolate. Jason shrugs.
'Fine… whatever. So you coming to training or are you going to do some mad experiment or something,' Jason said.
'Go,' I point to the door.
'Fine, gunna give me a kiss,' he says walking towards me. I sighed and kiss him.
'Now go before I kick you out,' I say and Jason walks out.
'Kisses all around,' Sasha says running over to me and kissing me on the check and forehead. I push her away.
'Get off me,' Sasha sits down next to me.
'Soooo… you missing mum?' Sasha asks.
'No,'
'You missing dad,' she asked.
'We don't even know him,'
'Sure we do,' Sasha says hitting me playfully.
'What yeah… only off the TV and that's it,' I say getting up.
'Fine… tackle!' Sasha shouts and the next thing I know is that am on the floor with Sasha on top of me. I roll over and pin her to the ground. She smiles and chucks me off her. We both get up and run at each other. We fall to the fall and I grab hold of Sasha hands, rolling her onto her stomach and then I grab her legs.
'Ok… ok I give up,' Sasha says.
'Yeah you should do, you know you will never win me,' I saw getting up. I freeze and spin to the door. There's a man stood in the doorway and I don't know her. Sasha gets up and stares at the man. Little sparks fly from my fingers.
'Who are you?' Sasha asks.
'Agent Barton of SHEILD. Nice to see you too fighting,' The man says. I ran forward and grab hold of his shirt and pull him to the floor. I pin his hands to the ground and I lean over him.
'And Agent Barton, what do you want,' I asked. I hated SHEILD, I mean I think their good, fighting against the bad guys and stuff, but I hate it because he works there.
'You two look really like you father,' Agent Barton says and then yelps in pain.
'Oww, does that hurt,' I say, as a little flame appears from my hands.
'You're a highly trained assassin…. Good eyesight… good aim with a….with a gun… no wait…. I got this a bow and arrow,' I say looking him dead in the eyes. Confusion covers his face.
'Zoe… stop doing you wired mind thing, you don't see me showing off my powers ever single minute, Sasha saying pulling me off Agent Barton. Oh yeah, Sasha has powers too, she can control people's minds so that yeah change their minds, she can also control the weather and use the suns energy while in battle. I let the flames die down and then look back at Barton, who has got up and rubbing his wrist.
'Yeah it did hurt…. How did you do that,' He asked, while rubbing wrist. I shrugged.
'One of my many gifts,' I said staring him down.
'Erm...Ok… Anyway I'm here on duty for SHEILD,' he said.
'And what is this duty?' Sasha asks.
'To get you two to come and work for them,' Barton says pointing at us two.
'We don't want to work for SHEILD,' I said crossing my arms. Barton sighs.
'Come on, why?' he asks.
'Why? Why? Because I don't want to work some place where he works too,' I says and Sasha nods.
'Stark isn't that bad,' Barton said.
'Oh yeah and living in foster care isn't that bad too,' I say sarcastically.
'Just come to the base and check it out,' Barton says. Sasha looks at me.
Come on Zoe let's just check it out.
No Sasha, why do you want to work with him. He left us and yeah the news might say he has changed but he left us and Mum turn into an alcoholic and we had to look after ourselves.
Please Zoe, come on. I sigh.
Ok, maybe we can go check it out. I tell her through our minds. Jason knows we can do this, he says it the twin connected.
Sasha smiles and then turns back to Agent Barton.
'Sure we'll come,' Sasha said.
'Good pack your stuff, you have an hour,' Agent Barton said as he walks to the door. I walk in front of him and stop him from leaving.
'We have an hour to pack all our stuff for you to take us the SHEILD base and give us a job. Where would we live?' I asked. Agent Barton raise's an eyebrow.
'Well… you would live, hopefully if Tony agrees, you would both live in the Stark Tower,' Agent Baron says quickly. I shake my hand.
'No way,' I said and Sasha sighed.
'Oh come on Zoe, I really want to work for SHEILD, it will be so cool,' Sasha said, 'Please,' she said and smiles.
'No don't do that to me,' I said. Sasha smiles again. Fire sparks from my hands. I tried to push her out.
'Ok… fine I'll do it,' I said and Agent Barton nods.
'Be ready in one hour,' he said and walks out of the room. I looked over to Sasha.
'I'm gunna kill you soon,' I said, pointing at her and then walked over to my bedroom to pack.
'You wouldn't dare,' she said and walked into her own room.
