A.N: This first chapter isn't that great. But I promise, it WILL get better. Remember, it IS just a prologue, though. Just something you guys should know, the first bit of this fic will be from my OC Ayesha's POV. There's also another OC called Jayde who belongs to bookworm108. Remember to review!
Ayesha
SHIELD. Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. What a mouthful. Before I joined the organization, I had always thought that SHIELD was a kind of stupid idea. I mean, an undercover branch of the government? Please. It was so cliché. But it was only until I received the call from Agent Coulson that my opinions began to change, as I realized what the true purpose of SHIELD was…
Maybe I should backtrack a little. My name is Ayesha Nightshade, and I am an agent for SHIELD. It was my friend, Jayde 'Angel' McKenzie who got me into the organization. Nick Fury, the 'leader' of SHIELD just so happens to be her Uncle. So naturally, she'd been training almost her whole life for the moment she could become an agent.
Jayde is a bit… different from most people. She was born with what the doctors called a 'genetic disorder'. In other words, she's got wings. Yep. Massive, pure white, feathery wings. So she had no problem getting into SHIELD. Once she was in, however, she had the not-so-brilliant idea of trying to get me in as well.
Being the strange, social outcast that I am, I was openly negative to this idea. I mean, come on. I've had these psycho things going on with me ever since I can remember. I move things with my mind. I bend and reanimate shadows. I can shoot freaking energy from my hands. That's not normal.
Jayde's the only person beside myself (and the few unfortunate people who had seen witness to my powers) who knew about my… abnormalities. So she went and blurted all my secrets to her Uncle. But I can't blame her. That's Jayde for you. A days later, I got the call from Coulson, and the rest is history.
It was only until last year, the year that Fury introduced the Avengers Initiative, that I began taking my career, my powers and my training seriously. I don't know what it was. It felt like a strange urge to have more power; to grow stronger. But whatever it was, it definitely helped. Within the next few months, I was pretty much at my prime.
It was only last month that Fury asked me to join the Avengers Initiative. Of course, I accepted the position. It was a huge honor. Plus the fact that my only friend had joined as well. The original members, Stark, Rogers, Thor, Banner, Barton and Romanoff weren't too happy about us joining. Something about 'sticking to the old group'. Oh well.
As soon as I joined, I had an immediate dislike for Agent Barton. I don't know what it was. I just… had this feeling that we weren't exactly going to be the closest of friends. Jayde, on the other hand, was accepted as an ally by the whole group. I suppose that's just another advantage of being a social butterfly.
No, the team never really accepted me into their ranks. Until they were forced to. Until the threat of war was shrouded over Earth again.
A.N: Yep, short chapter. Sorry about that :P But remember to review!
