Yet, you never cease to surprise me Captain. Oh Nat you know how it is, and that is how it will always be. THE END.
I blinked. The light of the computer always hurt my eyes. I took a sip of water. I just finished another Avengers fanfic. I'm Brietta( Bri-Etta) Cooper. I just your average, 14 year old girl whom is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I flipped my long brass colored hair over my shoulder. I didn't really think much of myself. I worked hard in school, i was smart, a straight A student and I knew how to fight. I was well respected at my studio. I had light colored skin although it got tan in the summer. I lived in California, had a little sister named Hallie and two dogs named Coco and Twix. I had fierce green eyes that can make people uncomfortable, but they could also hold a million secrets. I was well mannered for the most part and had awesome best friends. But yet, I couldn't help but feel different. In a good way, like there was something special about me. Not to be conceded or anything.
I searched through the fanfics reading what really sparked my interest. I wasn't much of a tom-boy or a girly girl more like in the middle. But when it came to the Avengers, I go into geek and superfan mode. I always thought Captain America and The Black Widow as well as Tony Stark and Pepper Potts were good shipping's. I Ship Captain Widow all the time, it was crazy.
It was about 10:30 at night, but I was still in my shorts, Tee and converse giggling about the story I was reading. I was too lazy to change. Something although I had noticed in these past few months before my birthday. Whenever I would work out in TKD or spar I was suddenly more agile and stronger. It was weird. Not a lot of girls who were 4'6 suddenly become 5'4. That's as tall as my mom. Then again my dad is 6' so yeah.
Then again miracles do happen. All the lights were off downstairs except for two, which I needed as my reading lights. My family was upstairs watching the first Captain America as we had watched the Winter soldier earlier that day.
I have a very active imagination, this leads my to think what if they were real?
I would always shake my head at myself saying that they were just actors and S.H.E.I.L.D doesn't exist. But you never know.
My green/hazel eyes glanced side to side. It was really quiet. Okay I'll admit i can be extremely paranoid, but it hasn't done anything yet. I heard something move. I twisted my chair around fully so I could scan the house or what I could see of it anyways. I always felt like their was something watching me, every move I make, every breath I take. It could get really creepy sometimes.
The clock ticked and tocked for each passing minute. I had to steady my breathing or else I would go in full panic mode. But something told me my brain wasn't playing tricks on me this time. Then I heard the door bell ring. I froze in my seat. It rang again. I still watched for the person but discreetly edged my way over to the door. I flipped on another light and Turned around.
I peeked through the glass of our door looking at the person. In a low voice the person spoke. "Matt I swear if you don't open this goddamn door, I will break it down!" I knew that voice. But It couldn't be could it?
I slowly unlocked the door, upon hearing a click I opened it. I'm naive what can I say?
The figure stepped into the room. No doubt I knew who this was. The leather the eye patch, the scar, the guns, and other dangerous equipment hidden in the leather coat. It was Nick Fury. Director Nick Fury.
I took in a large gulp and shakily made my way over to him. His one good eye fixed on me, I saw Maria Hill step into the light. She must've been the one in the shadows.
"Where is Matt Cooper?" He growled in a low voice. "Director Fury, my name is Brietta Cooper. Matt and Ivonne's oldest daughter. Sir." I said remembering my manners. His eyes scanned me like I was a prize. "Where is your father?" Fury asked again. I held up a finger.
(Not that finger you people. Shes naive not ignorant.) "D-Dad. There is someone here to see you..." I called up the stairs fear started clenching my throat.
He opened the door and peeked down at us. His eyes widened before he came out and almost ran down the stairs. "Nick Fury? What the hell are you doing here?" He asked. He glanced at me and paled.
"You knew this was going to happen eventually Agent." Agent Hill said. "She has to come with us, its time that she realized that it's time and that the powers are showing."
My dad's eyes widened. "Why do you have to take her? Can't she stay with u-?" The look director Fury gave him silenced him. His dark gaze shifted over to me.
"Brietta go get your birth certificate and as much stuff you can fit in two bags." I just stared at him. "Please explain? I am clueless. Why would I leave my family? Isn't there an option?" I asked.
"No. Agent Hill will explain on our way to Stark Tower." He informed. I cast a glance at my dad. His eyes brimmed with tears. He hugged me. Go get your stuff. We will miss you more than you could ever know. "
Why was this happening?
"No! I don't want to leave you!" I said emotion choking my voice. "Etta, trust me. You will be in good hands. Its time you know the truth."
I kissed him on the cheek. "Okay." I whispered. My voice quavered. I ran to my room and stuffed what I thought I needed, my special stuffed animal, my black belt, my hairbrush, my necklace my auntie gave me and the bracelet my Nana had given me. I stuffed as many clothes as I could fit and last but not least my picture of my family. I looked at my room, so dark and meaningful. Taking a deep breath, I grabbed my wallet and phone and walked out.
A dark car laid on our sidewalk, I cast one last glance at my house and stepped into the car saying goodbye to everything I had ever known.
What will happen to me?
The car ride to the airport was bearable and we entered a private jet. I sat my things down and stared at my phone reading Avengers fanfiction. I was trying my hardest to not let my emotions get to me. Agent Hill sat across from me.
"Whatcha' doing Brietta?" She asked. "Reading Fanfiction Ma'am." I replied not bothering to look up. "Who about?' I bit my lip. "The Avengers?" I said with a blush on my cheeks. She chuckled.
"So Director Fury said that you could inform me about why I'm being taken away to a place? Who are them? I have so many questions its ridiculous." I huffed.
"You need to meet with a very special team. Two of them are connected to you and vise- versa, the serum I can tell you about when we get there which is something everyone will need to hear." She answered.
I nodded. "Okay I guess, and you don't have to call me Brietta you can call me In Wha or Etta. Its what my friends call me." She raised an eyebrow. "In Wha? what does that mean?" She asked.
Now it was my turn to chuckle. I did. "In Wha means 'Unbroken Glory' in Korean. I earned that nickname from all of my Tae Kwon Do friends. You see I Competed and trained and tested a lot in Tae Kwon Do. I always passed or won something in tournaments. During the time period all of my friends have no changed their belt at least once, meaning they didn't pass a testing. Well I never got that. I was always ahead of the game, working hard and everything. In Wha is also the name of the Blue belt form so they just started calling me In Wha. And it stuck. Even with the instructors."
I could hear the turbines of the jet slow down. We were nearing a stop. "One more question. How did you know I was there?" She asked.
I smiled. "My paranoia gets to me."
New york. I'm in New York.
I was in a black SUV and I absolutely marveled at the sights. Then we stopped at a huge tower. I let my gaze drift up and my eyes bugged out. It was Stark Tower.
The Stark Tower was bigger than I expected it to be. Well, to be honest I didn't expect it to be real either. It was like 80 stories high or something like that, I was never good at estimating.
"Do they know I will be here?" I asked Agent Hill. She smirked. "Only few. The rest will be surprised though." The elevator dinged and we stepped on the floor. "I still can't believe I will get to meet SHIELD Agents !" I squealed. "Trust me In Wha you will be surprised in more ways than one." She said.
She walked into a hallway and opened a door. "Just set your stuff inside and go to the conference room. Its just the next floor up. We will meet you there." She said and scampered away.
The room was nothing special just a bed a TV a bathroom a dresser a closet and a nightstand. I set my stuff down on the bed and walked out of the room. The hall stretched father ways down.
I walked out of the hallway just to be almost struck in the shoulder with an arrow, I moved in time for it to hit the wall. Then I was grabbed by the shoulders and a knife was held to my throat. I sighed. I pried the hands off and grabbed my attacker's shoulder. With a huff I flipped over my attacker and backed away.
The attacker got up and looked at me straight in the eyes. I began to noticed the features of my attacker. I knew who this was. The bow and Arrow, ice cold blue eyes, sandy brown hair, black jumpsuit.
He brushed himself off and smiled. "You are a lot stronger than you look kid. What's your name?"He asked. "Brietta Cooper, nice to meet you sir." I said holding my hand out. He grasped and shook it.
"Clint Barton nice to meet you. What are you doing in Stark tower?"
"I was brought here to meet the some people, and blah blah something about serum showing, about finding my true self before danger come and blah blah blah. It was something like that. Some of you were suppose to know, I guess. That's what Fury said." I explained.
He shrugged. "Where were you headed before I almost killed you?" He asked sheepishly. "To the conference room on the next floor." I said. "I was headed there too. So lets go up then?" He said. I nodded.
We headed towards the elevator. "As long as you don't try and kill me again..." I murmured. He laughed. "I make no promises." I noticed the buttons on the elevator and seven of them stood out. Each had their own symbol and I it occurred to me whom I was about to meet.
The elevator soon opened to let us onto the next floor it opened right into a conference room. Agent Hill and Fury were already there. I chose a seat and sat down.
"Oooh spinny". I twirled around in my chair trying not to laugh. I stopped and they looked at me like What the hell are you doing? I shrugged and said. "What? I still need to have fun ya know."
The Avengers walked into the room one by one. This has to be a awesome dream... but no. It was cooler because it was real!
'At last you have all finally made it. Now we have a very important person here with us today. Brietta say Hi."
I smiled and waved. "Hai!"
"Now we have brought her here because she is very special. Nothing has been seen before, except in two people. She has turned 14 and the powers are showing. Three of you already know who she is. One of you just knows that she is staying here. But none of you know that she will become part of the team.
"Woah woah woah. Fury you said there was going to be a person staying here, but you didn't say she was going to be a 12 year old girl!" Tony exclaimed.
I huffed. "Hey I'm 14, FYI" I noticed Natasha and Steve staring at me weirdly. I blushed and looked back to Fury.
"I wouldn't underestimate her Stark. At some point she might even be able to kick that sorry ass of yours." He replied coldly.
Tony snorted. "Yeah right."
"Anyways back to the concept of her being here. She has serum in her. Not just any kind of serum, there were two kinds we could detect. Those were the serum Romanoff was injected with and the super soldier serum." Everyone's gaze shifted to me. I noticed but I too was in shock.
"How is that possible?" I asked. "I would have remembered intense pain or needles or something, I just remember a pretty content childhood and I have a photogenic memory." I said.
"You Brietta were born with it. You had to be sent away to be under protection so you wouldn't be traced down and killed or harmed. But after you turned 14 you had to come back. Your strength and agility will only grow. So it needs to be controlled. You will be getting a personal trainer, he will be here tomorrow. He is to help you control and bend your abilities to use them to your full potential."
Dr. Banner stood up. "Director as much as you make sense, if Brietta here has traces of the serums in her and she has no memory of it, you say she was born with it. There are only two people who have those serums in them. DNA and RNA are passed down from the parents. Which it only leads to one solution." Banner turned to me. I looked around seeing everyone's faces dawning in realization. Everyone's except for Three.
I put two and two together. My jaw dropped and I turned to look at Banner. My eyes showed of confusion and realization. "Your kidding right?" I asked him. He shook his head and took off his glasses.
My gaze whipped around. Green eyes met mine. So did blue. My breathing grew more intensified. I sat down in my chair. My head was spinning. "My whole life was a lie." I said my eyes wide. The room was silent. "It was for your protection. Or else you would have died." Natasha said. She murmered something else that I did not catch.
I steadied my breathing or else I would have gone on a rampage. I softened my gaze. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths. Then I spoke. "I understand." I opened my eyes to see shocked gazes throughout the room. "She took that better than I thought she would" Banner murmured to Thor.
" I understand that, if I had kept my true identity I might have been dead ages ago. But that is no reason to keep yourselves hidden for this long." I reasoned.
They nodded. "I guess you have a point. But we didn't want you to just fangirl and think it was all a joke. You needed time to mature and think it through before anything." Cap said.
I nodded. Then smiled. "You seriously think I'm NOT fangirling right now? Inside I'm screaming my head off. I mean come on you guys are thee awesome! We got Bruce the brilliant doctor and destroyer, Hawkeye the best marksman in the universe, Thor The god of thunder and fan of Pop tarts, Iron Man the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist, Captain America the great savior and role model and Black Widow the most bad ass woman I've ever seen. Just for the fact that I take up most of my spare time writing and reading fanfiction about the Avengers! As well as trying to find new ways to ship my OTPs! The other times I'm at Tae Kwon Do or sleeping but still!
Tony smiled at me. "I know I ship them too." He chuckled. I burst out laughing while Cap had the most blank look on his face. "Ship? OTPs? Fanfiction?" He asked. This only made me laugh harder.
"Trust me you don't want to know." I said through stifled laughs. "Well now that's done. You are all dismissed. Brietta. I expect to see a improvement in your training." I nodded and he and Agent Hill left.
"Wait Clint, you didn't looked surprised. Why?" I asked him. He gave me an smile. "Your mother is like my sister. Of course I would know. Besides I'm your godfather." With that he left, but not before giving me a hug.
Soon all of the other Avengers left too. All Except Cap and Widow. I soon found an awkward silence among us. "Come on Brietta lets go for a walk. I want to know what happened in the 13 years you weren't with us." Nat said. I gave a small smile and followed them outside.
"What do you want to know?" I asked. "Everything you can tell us." Cap said. "Well first I want to ask you a couple of questions." I said. "Ask away. Unless its about my past them you will never know." Nat said.
I giggled. "Well for starters whats my name?" Captain smiled. "Annaliseia Anastasia Rogers." I nodded. "How long have you two been together?" They looked at each other for a moment. "I believe it been 11 years now? Since we tied the knot." I smiled at them. "Its still hard to believe that this is all real and not a dream."
"We know it may not seem real, but trust me it is. We intend to spend time with you when we aren't on missions. I also hope we can help with your training a bit." Cap said. Nat nodded.
"Now tell me about this fanfiction and your writing stories about us hmm...?" Cap said. I took one look at his serious gaze and ran off screaming and laughing. "Only way to make me talk is if you can catch me!"
Cap looked at Anna run and looked at Nat. "There is no doubt in my mind that, that is our daughter." Nat smiled. "But we still need to catch her don't we?"
And they took off running. Laughing as they ran well as Nat tried to keep up with Cap, well you get the picture. I watched as they searched for me. It was pretty freaking funny.
They soon gave up the search and headed back inside. I chuckled to myself. Then I noticed Nat disappeared. My face dropped to a startled and grave expression. I looked and scanned around me scared for my own well being. I got a text from my friend Sandy.
Sandy: Hey what's up.
Me: The sky, getting chased by Captain America and black Widow ya know trying to hide for the sake of my life
Sandy: Lol good one
ME: Why would I kid about this?!
Sandy: you and I both know you aren't getting chased by the Black Widow and Captain America
Me: Wanna bet? Skype me.
Sandy: Fine.
I opened the call and Sandy's face popped on screen.
"Brietta where the hell are you?" She asked. "Stark Tower. WHy the hell would I kid about being Chased or should I say more along the lines of being hunted down by Steve and Nat!?"
"Because They don't exist?" She replied. "Sweetie then I have a lot to fill you in on..."
Sandy then looked startled. "Brietta Look behind you." I turned around and fear spiked through my body. It was Steve. My face fell to a frown. I stood up ready to dash off again, but a large weight landed on my back. I slumped to the ground.
"What did I tell you? Believe me now Sandra?" I asked. The look on her face was priceless. "So you ready to tell me about the fanfiction thing now Anna?" Cap asked. I grumbled. "Okay okay Nat Get off you weigh a lot more than you look." She hesitantly got off my back and I cracked it.
I realized Sandy was still on the phone. I stood up. "Steve, Nat, meet my friend Sandy." I said showing them Sandy. Nat waved. "Hello I'm Natasha and this is my husband Steve."
"Well That Romanogers thing was pretty much spot on." I smiled "I Know right!" "Wait so what are you doing in New York and at Stark Towers?" I looked at my gulp- parents and they shook their heads. "I'm afraid I can't tell you Sandy. Its classified. But I can tell you that Ivonne and Matt aren't my parents." I said with a nervous smile.
"Then who is?" She asked. "Them." I pointed my figure back to them. "Okay Gotta go bye." I quickly hung up. "So about that fanficion thing..."
