So this is the first fanfic I have EVER written, I apologize for any spelling mistakes that might be present. I have an awesome story mapped out, and I hope to update at least once a week, however since I am in university I might not be able to keep to that 100%. Please don't hate me.

Anyways here it is! Hope you all enjoy it and please rate and review :D

I do not own the characters of the Avenger, only the OC.

The forest was quiet, it had a sense of tranquility that couldn't be matched. The wind that moved through the trees that carried the songs of the birds, the smell of grass and dirt that made the forest feel alive, the blazing sun filtering down through the leaves that created a mosaic on the floor, the gentle droplets of water promising a rainbow at the end of the sun shower. Lexi never felt more at home or my relaxed.

Alexis (Lexi) Taylor was born in this tranquil world, away from civilization, and large groups of people who lived in the "concrete jungle" (as her grandmother called it). She was a native to this land. Her people, her family, being the tribe on the edge of the forest along the river and the animals in the forest.

Her mother had passed away while in childbirth with Lexi, her father, a travelling doctor had not known about Lexi and therefore never returned for her. Leaving her in the care of her grandmother (Nanny) and the villagers. Everyone adored Lexi, she was so vibrant and full of life, she brought a smile to everyone's faces, helped anyone that required it and stood her ground. She was raised by her grandmother, respecting the plants and animals of the forest. She went on many outings with her grandmother to learn more, thus learning about her unique ability to manipulate the four natural elements. Her grandmother made her promise not to let anyone know about her abilities, fearing for her well-being. However being the slightly mischievous person with tons of curiosity, Lexi would venture into the forest to practice and learn about her new abilities, gaining strength and wisdom through her training and through observation of animals in their element

She learned how to be as graceful as a bobcat while stalking its prey, see far off into the distance like a hawk, survive the harsh winters like a bear, and blend in to her surroundings like any self preserving bug.

It was during one of these outings that she learned how different her life was compared to others. She was stalking her prey, a lovely doe, looking for hide to complete her grandmothers new winter jacket, when out of nowhere a large boom was heard across the forest. Lexi looked around after losing her prey, she smelt smoke on the wind, and tasted a slight tang of rust in the air. She looked at the source when her eyes landed in the direction of her village. Her heart leapt into her throat and she began to run, hoping, praying it wasn't what she thought it was. Nearing the edge of the forest she began to hears screams and calls from her people. The village was indeed on fire, and people were scrambling to escape from the raging flames.

She immediately began to direct people to the river bed, taking into account how was there and who was missing. Her nanny wasn't there, where could she be? She turned and ran into the burning village, calling for her nanny, bending the flames that neared her or others that needed help. Where was nanny? She neared the hut that she shared with nanny and began calling for her: "Nanny? Nanny where are you? Answer me!" she heard coughing in the back room, she parted the curtain that separated the common room to the bedrooms. There was nanny with a man standing over top of her. A man in all black with a full faced breather mask, pointing something at her, speaking in a language she couldn't understand. That's when she noticed that her nanny was deathly pale, something wasn't right.

Lexi immediately bended the flames to engulf the strange man and then bended the air to send him sailing through the curtain and out the front door of the cabin. "Nanny are you ok?" she ran to her side. "Sweetie, you need to get out of here. Run, they are looking for you." she gasped out. "Who nanny? Who is after me? Who was that man? What was he saying? We need to get out of here, the village is burning to the ground, we need to leave." Lexi was starting to get frantic, and began picking up her grandmother. "Sweetie you have to leave me here, I'm injured and won't make it out of the village." She rasped out. Lexi shook her head not accepting that anything was wrong, that her grandmother was lying. "Sweetie these men are after you, you have to leave the village and your people behind. They want to use your abilities for evil. You must run and protect yourself. I love you so much." With that grandmother grabbed her hand shoved her necklace (the one she never took off since getting it from her husband) and pushed her in the direction of the door. "Run! Before they find you! Don't look back!" Tears streaming from her eyes Lexi nodded and began to run, out the front door of the cabin, looking between the river bed where her people were and the forest.

Another man in all black pointed at her and began to run towards her. She turned and headed for the forest. Running as fast as her legs would take her, trying to gain some distance between the men that pursued her and the village. Tears floated on the wind behind her, as she said a quiet goodbye to her life and her people.

She ran for hours, to where she wasn't sure. It wasn't until she thought she had lost the men that tracked her that she slowed down to a fast paced walk. She tried to find her bearings, she had run south in her desperation, she had only traveled this far once in her life, she knew that there was a town nearby, however she did not know what to do with herself even if she reached the town. Who could she talk to? Would anyone believe her? What if those men were also at the town? While pondering these questions she let her guard slip and didn't notice the man sneaking up on her until it was too late. She felt something strike her head, and her visions become black until her knees gave out. She was unconscious before she hit the ground.

"I want eyes on all entrances, Tony take to the sky and map out the perimeter, make sure nobody slips past and escapes."

"Sure thing, Oh Capitan!" Tony Stark saluted towards Captain Rogers who rolled his eyes in response.

"Nat your coming with me into the compound, help scope it out and grab any useful Intel." Natasha nodded her head slightly

"Clint find a perch and start picking people off, if you loss any let Stark know." Clint smirked at the Captain agreeing to the plan

"We need to find out what secrets this place holds and report back to Fury about our findings. Everyone clear on their task?" Captain addressed his team.

Everyone nodded their heads ready to begin their mission. The jet dropped them off near the perimeter of the compound but far enough away that they couldn't be discovered easily. The mission was fairly standard; there was threats and an unknown enemy, Fury wanted Intel on them and Captain America was to lead his team in finding any dirt on this mysterious organization, while expecting a not so warm welcome. The mission had started off easily enough, Stark patrolled the skies, Clint had found a roost, and Natasha and Steve had made their way into the main building heading for the main server room to gather the Intel. While Natasha worked her magic in hacking the data and saving it to a SHEILD USB drive, Steve covered the door.

"Hey Cap, you might want to see this." Natasha said.

"What have you got?"

"A person is being held in a room, and it looks like some of this data pertains to them. Though it doesn't look like the information was volunteered."

"Where are they being held?" Steve inquired.

"I can direct you to them."

Steve began heading down the labyrinth of hallways as Natasha fed directions into his earpiece nearing the door, where the person was being held. Upon reaching it, he used his shield and tore off the doorknob rendering the lock useless. He opened the door, to a pitch black room that smelt like blood, sweat, and a tiny waft of pine tree. Huddled in the corner was a tiny human form. "It's ok I'm here to help, I'll take you somewhere safe." Steve reached his hand out to the small person.

With a bit of hesitation, a tiny hand reach for the extended one and was then helped onto their feet, Steve brought them closer to the doorway where the light could be bathed on their skin. What he saw took his breath away. A young woman, in her twenties, with raven black hair and large clear emerald eyes. A few cuts and bruises and torn clothing but still remained breathtakingly beautiful.

"Thank you" Lexi replied to the man.

OMG my first chapter! This is so exciting! Again please R&R
