Chapter One
Rebecca's POV
Everything was in flames. People were running scared out of their minds. And it was all entirely my fault.
My breathing quickened. I screamed. Suddenly, I was awake. It was just a nightmare.
I got out of my bed and ran to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror.
I was still me; same light skin, black hair with red tips, same everything. I made myself feel a strong amount of anger. I opened my palm up and a small fire appeared. Same power.
I walked out of the bathroom and crawled back into my bed.
Go to sleep, I thought. I groaned. The clock on my nightstand said five-thirty; only about half an hour before I would have to get up for work. I made a small flame appear in my hand. I stared at it for a bit before deciding to get up.
I undressed and then got in the shower.
It's been the same nightmare for almost a month now. Me, being an evil person and burning innocent people. I am not evil. I have to keep reminding myself that the fire is like a gift. A gift that SHIELD and Dr. Banner were able to give me, more or less anyways.
After showering for a couple of minutes, I got out and got dressed for work. Fury told me that the Avengers would be at HQ for about two weeks. Mainly because he wanted me to get to meet them; I became part of the Avengers Initiative when my powers were revealed.
This shall be an interesting day.
When I got to HQ, I walked straight to the training room. When I got there, the room was empty. I decided to work on my knife throwing and pulled my knife out of my boot. There were targets along the wall. I aimed and then threw it. It flew through the air for a second before hitting the center of the target.
"Agent Thorn," I heard someone say. I turned to see my boss, Nick Fury. "How many times do I have to tell you that you're the best knife thrower of all the people in SHIELD?"
"I know, but it just relaxes me. I'm still adjusting to the promotion I got."
"You'll be fine; being the second in command will be easy. I'll be in charge most of the time anyway."
"Okay."
"The other Avengers will be arriving in a couple of minutes. Are you ready to meet them?"
"I guess. Bruce has told me that they're an okay bunch."
"You could say that. Let's go."
We started walking to the main room. On the way we passed by Bruce's office. He came out and walked with us.
"How's it going guys?" Bruce asked. He had dark circles under his eyes and was carrying a cup of coffee.
"Good," said Fury.
"Were you here all night, Bruce?" I asked.
"Kind of and sadly I didn't find anything new in my research."
"Ah. Well good luck."
"Thanks, I'm going to need it."
We reached the main room and an agent came up to Fury.
"Sir, Stark is here," he said.
Oh boy, the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist. Natasha has told me about him hitting on some of the female agents.
This will be an interesting.
