My first story! It took me so long to write this chapter, even though it's short...
Review and let me know if you liked it!
This probably won't be updated very often...anyway, on with the story! :)
Chapter 1:
I have always had a feeling that there was something about me that wasn't normal. It was only recently that I discovered that I was mutating slowly. My mind and body were changing into powerful weapons. The mutation caused me major pain and suffering, and is now in its final stages. By this point I had become physically stronger and mentally smarter, as well as gaining telekinesis, telepathy, and some pretty awesome things with my voice (like creating a vocal block of sorts and being able to copy someone's vocal patterns.) I was still working on reading minds and moving heavier objects with my mind, but as I said, these were just the final stages, I wasn't, I guess, fully charged yet.
The funny thing is I'm not sure where this mutation came from. It's not like I was injected with a serum or exposed to radiation, it just sort of…happened one day. Bruce has been studying the mutation and doesn't have a clue either, which is kind of surprising considering he tends to get a bit obsessed with his work.
What bugs me the most is that Tony Stark has now called some sort of meeting. For what, I'm not sure, but for some reason I have to be involved. I've been in Stark tower a week already, trying to perfect my abilities in one of the only places that is safe enough.
As I sat there in a chair next to Tony (who for some reason would not shut up) waiting for the rest of the Avengers to arrive, I wondered what it was about. I was curious, but also worried as I thought of a few far-fetched possibilities. Eventually, I was getting angry at Tony for talking to me about pointless topics and asking questions I wasn't going to answer.
"So, have you been enjoying Stark tower?" Tony asked me. When I didn't respond, yet again, he continued on. "I hope you've absolutely loved it. I'd be surprised if you didn't. Have you tried-"
"TONY!" I snapped.
"Well," he said. "We can just have
I sighed and just sat there as Banner, Natasha, Barton, Thor, and Steve finally walked in.
"It's about time," I said quietly, as Nat sat down on the other side of me.
"Is Tony not making good company?" she asked, giving a small smile.
"He can sometimes be pretty annoying," I replied. Tony began to speak and we turned to him.
"So, we are all here today because of this girl, Jade," Tony said, gesturing to me.
"Me?" I asked, getting nervous.
"Yes, you," he replied.
"What about me?" I asked.
"We all know that she is gaining some pretty awesome abilities, and it's kind of a shame that she hasn't put them to good use yet. So, we come to our main topic of discussion." Tony turned to address me directly. "How would you like to join our team officially? You know, the Avengers. Fury contacted me as soon as he found out about you. He's been pretty persistent; he's not passing up the opportunity to have a telepath on board. But, I thought I'd ask you before giving him an answer. So, what do you say?"
"It…I…uh…hmm…" I didn't know what to say, this kind of seemed like a big honor for me. "You know, I would, but I'm not sure if I could actually fight things like the Chitauri and save the world and all that, like you guys do."
"You are very well-suited for this," Thor said.
"He's right," Nat agreed. "Since I've started training you, you've become unstoppable in you school P.E. class."
"That's different," I protested. I wasn't sure if I was ready for this. I'm just a sixteen year old girl who had some freak thing happen to her.
"It's not like Fury plans to send you out solving all the problems of the world with us…at first. He just thinks you'd be nice to have around. I think you're already nice to have around. If you joined S.H.I.E.L.D. then you could continue to live with us here in the Stark Tower. And Fury wants you." Tony said.
"Well, my parents think I'm on a vacation with a friend...I'm going to have to go back to them in two days." I replied.
"You still haven't told them yet?" Steve asked.
"Not unless it's absolutely necessary!" I exclaimed.
"Well, maybe you don't have to live with us here in Stark tower, but you're eventually going to have to say something to them," Tony said.
"I'm probably going to have to think about my decision, and after I've made it maybe I'll consider telling my parents," I said.
"Just say yes," Barton said. "We all know you want to."
"I do but-" I protested.
"Jade," Bruce said. "Just take the offer." Everyone started trying to talk to me at once.
"Okay, fine," I gave in. "I'll join your team." I hope I don't regret it, I thought.
"Awesome," Tony said. "I'll tell Fury, then we'll celebrate by showing Thor and the Captain all of the Harry Potter movies." He hurried out of the room.
"What are those?" Steve asked.
"Trust me, you'll like them," I replied, smiling.
Tony came back five minutes later. I assumed that his conversation with Fury over the phone was pretty short. "Come on, guys," he said, motioning us into the room with the huge TV.
I sat down next to Thor on the couch. It was pretty entertaining to watch Thor and Steve react to movies. I had been at Stark Tower with them for almost a week, and this wasn't the first time Tony decided to have a movie marathon. A few days ago it was various reality shows. The reactions were way better than the movies. I had seen the Harry Potter movies so many times I pretty much had them memorized, so I pretty much just watched Thor as he asked all sorts of questions about the movie, and Steve as he tried to figure out how all the special effects were made. Most of us couldn't help but smile. Bruce eventually decided to sneak out around the fourth movie. Nat ended up falling asleep about then. I fell asleep right in the middle of the fifth movie.
I had horrible nightmares about what could happen to me on a mission with the Avengers. I blame the mutations in my brain.
