The Avengers and the X-Men
Chapter 1: The Annulus
Disclaimer: I do not own the X-Men or the Avengers. Marvel and Fox own them.
Starring (If this was a movie): Hugh Jackman, Robert Downey Jr., Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson, Sir Patrick Stewart, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans
Also: This story takes place in the Marvel CINEMATIC Universe. This story is supposed to take place present-day, and the events in Avengers: Age of Ultron and X-Men: Days of Future Past have not happened yet, so Pietro and Wanda Maximoff (Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch) will not appear. Instead, the Black Panther will join in. As for the X-Men: Mystique is still going to be on Magneto's side as well as Azazel, Toad, and Sabretooth. Apparently, Azazel was killed in an off-screen thing, but he will be reincarnated for this. The Annulus is another Infinity Stone. It is the Reality Gem. If you think I should do something different, just comment! Please don't be too harsh. So I'll shut up now… Enjoy!
Atacama Desert, Chile
The Tokyo Observatory in Chile was having a normal night. Stars and planets and the occasional airplane obstructing their vision. But scientist Geraldine Ford noticed something.
"Um, excuse me," she said to the director, "but I just spotted a small meteor, no bigger than a yoga ball, going very, very quickly through the atmosphere. And it seems it isn't burning up. It looks as though it is being shielded by some sort of orange energy."
"Where is it going?"
"It seems to be going to…" she typed at her computer, "a small island off the coast of Argentina."
Within the next hour, the meteor crashed into the island and created ten times more damage than a normal meteor of its size would have. Not only did it completely destroy the island and create a series of whirlpools, but it made a an earthquake and several tsunamis hit the shore of Argentina.
Geraldine was sent to S.H.I.E.L.D. to talk about the meteor and find out if it had any sort of extraterrestrial origins. There, Nick Fury sent people to collect the meteor, but all that was left was an orange cylinder. When it was taken back, they found out what it was capable of: it could do the impossible. It, if it made contact with something, could make them capable of flight, teleportation, and other things, as well as making others die instantly, but only as long as they are holding it. It was dubbed the Annulus and was locked up in the basement of S.H.I. ., where it was experimented on. It seemed to have a life of its own, and it killed several people. It was deemed dangerous and more security was put on it.
An Unknown Location
Magneto and Mystique walked down the hallway in their secret Brotherhood of Mutants HQ.
"Mystique, I need you to do something for me." said Magneto when they got to his office.
"What? Does it have to do with the X-Men?"
"Yes and no," he said, "I need you to go into S.H.I.E.L.D. and steal the Annulus. It is a weapon that we can use to destroy the humans once and for all."
After giving Raven Darkhölm all of the details, he got a helicopter to drop her off in NYC. She was only equipped with a Bluetooth that she could use to communicate with Magneto.
S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ, NYC
As Mystique walked towards the HQ, she quickly transformed into Natasha Romanoff. She got inside and quickly made it into the elevator, along with a man.
"Hello Natasha Romanova and Clint Barton. Where will you be headed today?" asked the electronic voice.
"I'm going to the basement." said Clint.
"Um… me too." said Raven.
"So Natasha, what have you been up to?"
"Oh… you know… the usual. Just missions and stuff." Raven thought about what Magneto told her about Natasha.
"Clint Barton," said Magneto through the Bluetooth, "also known as Hawkeye. He has extremely good eyesight and aim. He is also good in martial arts and shoots arrows that explode."
The elevator stopped and the door opened.
"So are you going to go see the Annulus too?" he asked.
"Yeah," said Mystique, "Director Fury wants my to assess its power."
They got to a large, metal sphere. Clint pressed a code into the keypad and then got his eye scanned. The metal moved away and so did a thick layer of bulletproof glass. There it was. The Annulus was gleaming in the artificial light of the room.
Behind Clint, Mystique slowly transformed into her real self. Clint turned around, only to be punched in the face. After Clint recovered, he was shocked to see a red-haired, yellowed-eyed, blue-skinned person in front of him, who looked like that girl who played Katniss.
Mystique brutally attacked him, and she was obviously a better fighter than him, because he was taken down in seconds. Sirens went off and she heard tons of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents running down a nearby flight of stairs to get to her. She grabbed the Annulus just in time to see Maria Hill followed by twenty other agents come down and shoot at her.
The Annulus really was incredible. Each bullet went through her as if she was not even there. She started to run, and ran straight through the wall. Then, remembering what Magneto told her, she just thought the word teleport to HQ and before she could even think, she was there. Confused, she looked around and saw Magneto.
"Hey… I got it." she said, handing the cylinder to him.
"That is very good, Mystique."
"Thanks. But Erik,"
"We will need to worry about a lot more than the X-Men trying to take this away from us." said Mystique.
"Why is that?" asked Magneto.
"Because those S.H.I.E.L.D. agents sure looked pissed when I grabbed that thing." she responded.
