My first Avengers fic, I couldn't help myself once I saw the movie. Also most of what I know about the characters is from the most recent movie versions, if I think it necessary for the story I might look up additional info but please don't be annoyed if certain details aren't perfect the plot is so intricate but I'm doing my best to weave my character in well.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Theresa Watts and a potential character cameo from my Misfits fic (if you've read it you'll know who it is, if not it really doesn't make a difference)

Hope you enjoy, sorry it's a bit short, hopeful the next chapter will be longer.


"Can I get the Hungry Man's breakfast, with a side of hash browns?" The obese man with the curly black beard asked, "Oh and some coffee too please."

"Sure thing," I jotted his order onto my note pad and grabbed his menu before retreating to tack his order up and grab the coffee pot.

"Quick everyone out! Out through the back!" An older gentleman in a plaid shirt came in out of nowhere and started ushering people out.

"What's going on?" I asked naturally a bit curious since it's not everyday something even a tiny bit exciting happens.

He hesitated, "Something bad, help me get these people out of here!"

I opened my mouth to protest when a giant thud resounded through the building and I caught a glimpse of something fiery through the window. Without hesitation I jumped behind the counter and pulled the fire alarm on the wall behind the register and smiled, shamelessly proud of what I thought was a smart move.

I made sure I was the last out, I checked all the back rooms and washrooms, making sure no one got left behind. The older man had run out just after I pulled the alarm, probably to evacuate some other building.

The noise that prompted me to pull the fire alarm was nothing compared to the noises I heard as I sheepishly crawled towards the front door of the diner. Gnashing metal, crunching bones and buildings getting demolished.

I peaked outside the door and just up the street saw a blonde man lying on his back in the street, a small brunette kneeling next to him crying her eyes out. The man who came into the diner earlier was standing off to the side with a young girl. Next to them were a group I can only describe as weirder than weird… they looked like they stepped out of a painting.

A rotund man with a long reddish beard, a woman with probably the longest hair in existence. Next to them was a man presumably of Asian decent with an explosion of black hair at the back of his head. Finally a young man who would look average were it not for the large yellow handlebar mustache covering a third of his face.

Believe it or not, the weirdest part about them wasn't even their faces; they were wearing the strangest armor it was metal and leather but it didn't look medieval, it almost looked futuristic.

Once I worked up the courage to actually exit the diner I did what I did best, I melted into the background as a bystander.

It was then that I noticed the gigantic metal man stalking away from the blonde man, it was like a robot but it's movement was so fluid, unlike anything I'd ever seen.

Right when I was beginning to think I had missed all the action, I heard the whirring noise that happens when you throw something really fast. Then the sun reflected off something in the distance that was gradually increasing in size.

It came so fast that I couldn't be sure what it was until the blonde man, who I thought was dead, raised his fist in the air and caught it.

A giant hammer, not like a tool hammer but like a weapon one, like a mallet, it was huge but looked so natural in his hand. It obviously belonged to him because the moment his hand connected with the handle armor similar to the four weirdos off to the side started coming out of the hammer and shaping around his arms. Before long he looked just like them, he even had a cape.

"Holy shit," I said out loud, everyone was too distracted to notice me, which I deemed a good sign, since I was bystanding and wanted to see what happened next..

The man was completely engulfed in lightning that shot out randomly all around him, breaking windows and singing telephone poles.

I scrambled to my feet and turned to run back into the diner for fear of getting struck by lightning, then I fell.

My body felt hot, white hot, so hot it was cold, my brain pulsed in my skull. I am dead. I felt the ground rumble with the next roll of thunder as soon as my face hit the pavement. I couldn't see or hear anything, not even white noise, not even my pulse, just nothing. The pavement was hot like when you stick your hand on the roof of a black car in the middle of summer. What a weird thing to think while I'm dying. Then the nothingness before my eyes expanded until there was nothingness in my thoughts.

"M'am? Stay with us, come on," I felt someone thumping on my chest and a weight across my hips, a horrid smell drifted into my nostrils, fire and blood and burning hair.

My eyes fluttered open ever so slightly; I was blinded by the fluorescent lights of what I was sure was a hospital. The thumping on my chest and the weight on my hips was a small red-haired woman, a paramedic, straddling me giving me CPR.

To her credit she stopped as soon as she noticed I was awake, "She's conscious!" she placed a gloved hand at the side of my neck and felt for a pulse.

I felt my eyes drifting closed, my body felt hot and tingly, "No, no, no stay with me sweetie," she patted my cheeks gently, "Her pulse is fading."
She turned back to me, I now realized we were on a moving gurney which explains why she was still on top of me, "Just stay awake a little longer," she said as we were pushed into an elevator.

"My name's Eileen, what's your's?" she asked still holding my pulse, I recognized her voice had an accent, she wasn't from America, England probably.

"T-Theresa Watts," I croaked, my throat pulsing with pain as soon as I spoke.

I felt a swelling pressure in my chest, "Theresa stay with me!" Eileen ordered in vain as I closed my eyes.
