Knowing you have a power that could save people is hard enough. Knowing that there is others out there like you is even harder when you can not talk to them. My father knew I was special and he trained me to be special. I was told that I was never to contact anyone nor was I to ever trust anyone even if they were good or bad. I was just suppose to stop those who tried to harm others. I am Nineteen years old and I can kill anyone with just a flick of my wrist. I was trained to be an assassin and I was trained to use my powers that I was born with. My father did not understand the potential I had nor did he tell me why I had them and he did not. I am telekinetic and I possess several other abilities that are hard to control. I do not know why I am different but I just am.
I was in my room watching the television and eating my spaghetti when I saw this special team that was just formed. They called themselves The Avengers. Yet the team was consistent of misfits. One Tony Stark, developed a suite of armour that protected him and harnessed the power from his chest emblem that was magnetically pulling away shrapnel from his heart. Another was Hawkeye or Clint Barton, one who possessed great talent with a bow and arrow and could see farther then the average human and possessed great strength. Third and only one name Thor. Not from our planet but sent down from his planet to protect our people from the dangers that lurk in the universe and only he knows about it. Fourth Natasha Romanoff or Black widow. An excellent marksman and actress. Some call her the best super spy in the world. Fifth and leader of The Avengers, one Steve Rogers or Captain America. A world War Two vet and first and last super soldier ever made. The oldest yet youngest looking one in the team. And finally Doctor Bruce Banner also known as the Hulk. He tried to recreate the super soldier serum that was used on Captain America and one way he tried was using Gamma radiation on himself only to be turned into a green monster when ever he was stressed out and angry. A failed attempt some might call others a brilliant one. I look at all of them and think of them as misfits. And yet my father told me I was to watch out for them. He called me the black shadow. My true name is Kissa Summers. My father raised me ever since I was a little girl. He told me my mother was killed while getting groceries for us and he was left to raise me alone. Soon after he discovered my powers and knew I was meant for something greater then he could imagine.
"You are stronger then all of them Kissa and you know it. You must become the Shadow's of the night and harness your energy for good. You kill those who are trying to harm others. Do not harm the innocents of people. You will find out who the innocent ones are. You must listen to me and do as I say" he said to me one night.
I just nodded at him and I thought back to the day my father was killed before me. He was walking with me from the market and we got ambushed in the alley. I looked at him and he was getting beaten before me and I was about to get rapped when I used my powers. The thugs who tried to rape me and beat my father to death ran off and I just held my father screaming for help.
"It will be to late Kissa, you must protect everyone. You must use your powers and your judgement. I love you my princess of Earth"
He looked into my eyes and he handed me my mothers necklace. I just looked at him and when he took his last breath I screamed at the top of my lungs in anger. I then gently kissed my father on the forehead and I ran after those bastards that killed him. I saw the shadows around them and I used that to my advantage. I held my knives in my hand and I stopped one in his tracks while the other kept walking. They did not know he stopped and I quickly grabbed him. I looked into his eyes and I saw the fear he had.
"The power I have I will use to avenge those you have taken advantage of. I sentence you to death" I said softly.
And with that I held my blade out and I made him slowly go into it. He tried to scream but nothing came out and I gave him to the shadows. I then went after the other four and one by one they dropped like flies till only one was left. I looked at him and he was scared as hell. I found him hiding in a park and I held onto him. Fear engulfed him as I held the blade in front of him.
"The power I have I will use to avenge those you have taken advantage of. I sentence you to death" I said in his ear.
And with that his life was taken and he was consumed by the shadows. I looked on and I ran back to my apartment and I moved on. I had to leave Chicago and I went to New York City. There I knew crime would be great but I needed to mourn the lose of my father. When I found an apartment I settled down and I pulled out a picture of my father and mother. I felt the tears begin to stream down my cheeks and I cried for them.
"Remember Kissa, you have to use your powers for the goodness of mankind. You are my special little girl and you will do good for this world"
"But Daddy I'm only eight" I said softly.
"And when you get older you will get stronger. Now lets get back to practise. Close your eyes and prepare" he said.
I could feel the wind of the bamboo stick he was trying to strike me with and I knew his every move, I could sense it. I tried to dodge every single strike but my mind would easily get distracted and I would feel the bamboo hit my skin. My screams would echo but all I heard from my father was one word, Focus.
I awoke to the sound of the city outside and I smiled a little. It was a new day and I had some stuff I had to do today. I first started off with my meditation. My father taught me that through meditation I could achieve great things. I focused my breathing and I thought about a clear mind. Soon afterwards I began the physical part of my training. I was taught many forms of martial arts and other fighting skills. So I blended them all together and used it to my advantage. Third I used my powers to clean my apartment up. Yes it seemed unconventional. Yet it helped me to train my mind to do multiple things at once and so I would not pass out from exertion. I threw on my black outfit and my black sweater along with my sunglasses and I walked out of my apartment. I made sure I had my backpack which had my weapons. Mainly my blade and my staff weapon. I walked to the market and I got everything I needed and I took the train back home. I was getting off near one of the bridges when I heard a cable snap. I looked at everyone and no one heard the cable snap. I listened closely and I heard another snap further down. I then ran into an ally and I ripped off my clothes to reveal my suite beneath. A black armour that surrounded my body and I threw on my balaclava. It only covered my nose and mouth and I was fine with that. I then disappeared in the shadows and appeared on the bridge. Everyone was looking at me and I signalled to the snapped cables. Everyone soon saw and they all panicked and got out of their cars. Suddenly the bridge shook and everyone on the entire bridge started to run. There was chaos every where and I felt the bridge move again. I looked around and I began to fly up. I tried to use my powers to hold the bridge up so the people could have time to get off. I then heard a child's cry for help and my focus immediately went towards that child. She was lost and her mother was to far to reach her. I flew down and grabbed the child but my focus was off and I felt the bridge jump again. I immediately held my hand to the bridge and I looked at the child. I pointed to the direction her mother was and she looked at me.
"I'm scared" she said to me.
I looked around me and I held onto her. She held onto me and I still kept my hand on the bridge. Soon her mother was near and she grabbed her child. I then used both hands on the bridge but my nose began to bleed. I saw the blood drops forming a little puddle below me and yet I still held onto the bridge. I then flew up and made sure no one was left but my vision began to get blurry. I was struggling to stay focused for a little longer but I was unable to. The last thing I saw was a man flying towards me before darkness engulfed me.
I slowly opened my eyes and I heard people talking. Six men and two women. I looked around and I saw my balaclava was beside me. I put it on and I grabbed my staff weapon and my blade. I then walked out of the room I was in and I saw the six men and two women. They were the Avengers and two of them were not like the others.
"Your awake" said Tony Stark.
I just nodded at him and I looked at all of them. I then saw clouds outside the window and I felt the ground was slowly moving below me. We were flying on an airship.
"Please have a seat" said a man.
He was wearing all black and he had an eye patch over his left eye and I saw visible scaring around the patch. I walked over to an empty seat between Clint Barton and Steve Rogers. Everyone was looking at me and I just sat down looking at the man.
"Allow me to introduce ourselves. My name is Nick Fury I am the director of the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. This is Tony Stark also known as Iron man. This is Steve Rogers A.K.A Captain America. This is Doctor Bruce Banner A.K.A The Hulk. This is Thor, This is Natasha Romanoff one of my agents along with Clint Barton A.K.A Hawkeye. That was some neat trick you did at the bridge in New York" said Nick.
I just looked at him and then I looked at my blade. I could see the hesitation in everyone's eyes and I looked back at Nick. He was going to make me a proposal and I knew he wanted me on The Avengers.
"Will you join my team?" he asked.
"We could use someone like you" said Tony.
I just looked at him and shook my head and walked out the door. I then felt someone grab my arm and I saw Steve Rogers grab my arm. I was about to use my blade on him but I stopped.
"Wait, this could be a good thing for you" he said.
I just shook my head and I was about to walk away when I felt dizzy. I was not use to using my powers for as long as I did on the bridge and now I was paying for it. My body says its ready for another fight but my mind is still weak. I almost fell to the ground when Steve grabbed onto me.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
I just shook my head and I took off my balaclava. He looked into my eyes and I looked into his. I knew I was weak but I needed to leave. I did not work well with a team nor would they allow me to do what I do and be who I am meant to be.
"Let me help you" said Steve.
"Alright" I said softly.
