Hey, ya'll. This is fanfic is actually based on an role play that I am doing with my cousin. She's who Tora is based upon. This is something I'm proud of. So I hope you all enjoy.
Prologue
New York isn't known for its warmth, or its ocean views, or half its population. No, New York is known for its frigid cold weather and being nearly demolished by a power hungry, revenge crazed god with the help of an alien army that is hell bent on total world annihilation. Though, things haven't always been like this. No, things have been much worse for a hand full of people who are now playing very important roles in keeping the world, as we know it, safe.
Now, these people aren't by any means heroes unless you count them actually saving the world from the evil, adopted son of Odin, known as Loki. By all accounts, that would make them heroes but they all have horrors in their past. Things they wish they could change or at the very least forget. These horrors and mistakes are the sole reasons they fight so damn hard in protecting the place that has given them the one reason to survive, the keys to their hearts.
Now, these keys aren't by any means actual keys. No, they are the one thing these so called heroes need in order to feel completely whole. Whether it be a lover, repaying a debt, or a simple love of science, these reasons remain all the same. The reasons why they risk their own lives for a world that could, at any moment and has in the past, turned its back on them. Now these so called heroes have shown to the world and any other worlds throughout the universe that they are a force to be reckoned with. They have shown that they will do whatever it takes to save this planet from any and every force that would seek to control or destroy it. They will risk their very lives to do so.
As a certain so called hero has already shown when he nearly killed himself to close a portal that Loki had opened in order to put an end to the alien invasion. This so called hero is known as Iron Man, the vigilante who can fly with the help of power thrusters in the hands and feet. Well, the known identity of Iron Man is well known since he revealed himself to the whole damn world but then again that is just who Tony Stark is. He's a very egocentric, technology obsessed man, who has an arc reactor in his chest. This arc reactor just so happens to be the power source of the Iron man armor.
Now, Iron man isn't the only so called hero in this handful of people that are putting their very lives on the line. No, there really is only truly one real hero in the group. This actual hero really shouldn't even be alive either. Not after being frozen in the ice up in the North Pole, for nearly seventy years but somehow he did. This true hero is Captain America, the first in this group to see firsthand the true powers the Tesseract holds.
Only those who knew him before he became Captain America, those who were there with him in the World War 2 era, and those who were there when he was found frozen knew Captain America's identity. Now, a few more people know his identity because these are the others that help make up this handful of people that are fighting to save a world that doesn't seem to care. Though, Steve Rogers is okay with that.
The others that make up this band of misfits aren't much for heroes like Rogers but that's really okay. Mainly because the skills they each possess makes up for any hero like qualities they lack. Each of these heroes have shown that if and when they can work together, they can become a great team. This being said, it's also where a major flaw lies.
For you see, one of these heroes has a really bad habit about placing the blame on him self when he has no real reason too. His other half knows this all too well for you see, she is soul-bound to him. So, when a certain so called hero got himself mind controlled by a wanna be God, she felt it all too well. Though, there is another among them that understands him all too well as well but this is getting ahead of the story. For you see, this whole story begins not to long before this whole event even happens, where a certain member of this band of misfits sits high above a group of scientists that just so happen to be working on seeing what the Tesseract actually does.
Please read and review. Enjoy. Laters.
