Clover, The Youngest Avenger
Chapter 1
There she was. Clover Barnes, daughter of James "Bucky" Barnes tied up and being held hostage on a train moving 80 mph. She was surrounded by boxes with strange looking guns. She also noticed it smelled like sweat and was she supposed to do now? Clover looked around the train car searching for anything sharp to cut the ropes binding her. That's when she glanced out the window and saw an animal quite familiar. Clover became dizzy and closed her eyes.
It was an early Friday morning. The birds were singing, the sun was shining, and the men snoring. It was an average morning, quite the same as the next. As always her father was out in the field training the newest recruits in the 107th. She got dressed, and then put her blond hair in a braided ponytail. Afterwards, she ran to the breakfast tent. The only things they had were the usual biscuits and fruit bars. As Clover ate the biscuit, she snuck the fruit bar in her jacket pocket to eat later.
As she left the tent, she saw a strange bird-like creature. It was dark brown on top and white underneath. It also had a massively long orange blade-like bill. Clover wondered what it was so she decided to follow it to see what it was. She followed the animal until it ran into the forest. She knew she wasn't supposed to go in there because enemy lines were about 4 miles off from the camp. The blonde went to ask her father. As she was running to the training field she saw the new recruits jogging around the trail and waved at them.
"Hey there squirt," said Bucky.
"Hey dad! I have a question," asked Clover.
"What is it?"
"Well, I saw a little strange animal run into the woods and I was wondering if-"
"No, I already told you that you can't go into the forest without me," Bucky interrupted
"But dad please," she begged.
"You can't right now! I'm in the middle of a training session. You can when I'm done and able to take you."
"But-"
"That's final," he barked, "Now go see if Ms. Carter needs any help."
"Fine. I'll go help Ms. Carter," Clover said angrily as she walked away.
As Clover was running to the tent she saw the same strange animal. That's when she decided to follow it. She was a girl of science so she had to investigate. She ran into the forest and saw a river. The water was clear as crystal, and shone like a million little diamonds when each ray of sunshine hit the surface. It was calm, serene and cool. Clover wondered where the little animal was hiding. Then she saw it drinking out of the pond. It noticed her and ran farther into the forest, and she had no choice but to follow it.
A few minutes later Clover heard something big move in the forest. She looked around until the sound of a swinging stick broke the silence, and the world went black.
