All Hallows Eve
Disclaimer: I do not own the Avengers, I do not own Halloween, but I do own a very useful brain. That said, I'll move on to the story.
CHAPTER ONE: WHAT DO YOU FEAR MOST?
Tony Stark.
Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. Not necessarily in that order.
Boyfriend of Virginia 'Pepper' Potts.
In his spare time, he is known as Iron Man.
A fearless superhero, working alongside the Avengers.
But that's just what the world sees.
AHE
Steve Rogers was a soldier.
Then, he was frozen and defrosted nearly seventy years later.
His first love, Peggy Carter, a British officer, died a year before he came to life.
People see him as a patriot, a leader, a super soldier.
What do they know of Steve Rogers, an ordinary boy from Brooklyn?
AHE
Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton are both feared assassins.
They have a long history of working together as partners.
The world knows almost nothing of the Black Widow and Hawkeye.
What they don't know, they fear.
If you knew the people behind the masks, would you fear them?
AHE
Bruce Banner has a secret.
A secret everyone knows.
Well, you can't exactly hide a big, green giant, can you?
Each day he fights the Other Guy, determined to do good.
He really doesn't want to destroy Harlem again.
The public loves the Hulk, despite the incident.
But would they love the person inside the monster?
AHE
Thor Odinson.
The God of Thunder himself.
His father banished him to Midgard, his brother tried to kill him, and Frigga is slowly going insane with grief.
Talk about dysfunctional.
Everyone thinks he is a myth. The Norwegian people adored him.
Did they know the real Thor? Do they know of his sorrow?
AHE
Loki has had enough.
A Frost Giant by birth, an Asgardian by name.
He really doesn't like Sif.
Actually, he hates just about every Asgardian.
Save for his adoptive mother Frigga, of course.
When people see him, they think of a monster. They see his past deeds, they see the insanity that once overtook his mind.
All they can think of is a monster.
They say no one is beyond redemption.
But then again, they say every bad guy out there is an exception.
Can no one look past the monster and see the broken child beneath?
Does no one wonder why Loki is like this?
AHE
Each and every one of these people has something they fear.
They are fearless on the outside.
But on midnight, on Halloween, they will come together.
A new evil has risen.
An evil that knows.
Knows exactly what they fear.
