-Fourteen years ago-

Kya Milani breathed heavily as she forced herself to keep walking. She was going to do it. She's was actually leaving the only home she's ever known.

Why was she leaving?

Oh, that's right. Her teacher was a traitor to the entire island.

Kya was the top bender in her class. She even surpassed some of the older students. Her teacher, Senna, began giving her private lessons. Senna taught Kya more about water than the creators of the island could have ever imagined.

Unfortunately, the material that they used for bending became something Kya dreaded.

So she ran.

Before she left her home, she left a note for her mother and siblings on the kitchen counter.

Don't trust Senna. I love you all.

-Kya

This is for their own good. Remember what Senna told you she would do to them if you refused to do what she said.

As Kya continued her trek, she went over her plan in her head.

Get to the docks, and use your waterbending to get to the mainland. Easy enou-

The ten year old became aware of footsteps running after her. She opened her water-skin and whipped around ready for a fight...

And came face-to-face with her mother.

Kya dropped her stances and stared wide-eyed. "Mom?"

Kauna Milani quickly wrapped her daughter in a tight hug, knowing very well it could be the last time they saw each other.

"Be careful."

Blue eyes stared up at identical blue eyes. "You knew that Senna-"

Kauna nodded. "I had a suspicion that Senna was bending the forbidden water. But, because of her hold on the community, it will be difficult to turn everyone against her."

Kauna gazed at her daughter's face before gently brushing a strand of silver hair behind her ear.

"Be careful, my moon."

Kauna reached into her pocket and pulled out a small vile attached to a necklace. Kya stared wide eyed at it.

"Mom how-"

The older woman's smile was almost smug. "Your Grandmother wishes you luck. She said that going to the outside world is your destiny."

Kya gently took the vile with her fingertips. The vile contained water from the oasis in the middle of the island. The lifeblood of the island. It's rumored that with the waters, one could save another from the hands of death. Her Grandmother was on the council of elders, giving her access to the oasis.

The ten year old placed the vile/necklace around her neck before looking at her mother and giving her another hug.

"I'll find a way to talk to you when I can."

Kauna gave her daughter one last squeeze before letting her go. "Be safe."

Kya smiled sadly at her mother before turning around and started running for the docks.

She threw her backpack in a boat and used her bending to push herself away from the only home she's ever known.

New life here I come.

-Two months later-

"COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE BITCH!"

Kya ran as fast as her legs could carry her. For the past two months she's been stealing food to feed herself. So far, she hasn't been caught.

Until now.

Some thugs caught her stealing some fruit from them. Now she finds herself running through the streets of Budapest.

She ducked in the alleyway, hoping to lose her pursuers.

No luck.

She slowly backed away as they started to corner her.

"We'll teach you not to steal from us."

Kya backed up a little more before discreetly slipping her hand behind her and opening her water skin.

One of the thugs saw the movement and narrowed his eyes. "What are you-"

Kya bended a stream of water out before whipping one of the thugs in the eye. As he yelped and stumbled back in pain, and wrapped a tendril of water around another's ankle and yanking him upwards.

As soon as the others got over their shock, they charged at the young girl. She gave the fight her all, not stopping until they were all on the ground.

Or so she thought.

She heard something click behind her.

"Don't move."

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw more thugs in the mouth of the alleyway. Her ocean blue eyes widened when she saw the thug in the lead had a gun pointed at her.

The thug smirked. "Hold sti-"

An arrow suddenly flew out of nowhere and hit the ground in front of the group. It beeped for a bit before it exploded, sending the thugs stumbling back. Two people, a man and a woman, jumped from the rooftops and landed in front of her.

The man smirked. "That's no way to treat a lady."

He looked at his red head companion. "You want them?"

The woman looked over the thugs hauled themselves up. "There's enough for both of us.

Kya hid behind a dumpster as the man and woman took down the thugs. She marveled at the way they fought. They rivaled that of any chi-blocker.

She hid further behind the dumpster when she realized the fight was over.

"It's okay, they're gone."

The ten year old peeked from around the corner of the dumpster. The man was crouched a few feet in front of her with the woman standing next to him.

"My name's Clint, and that's Natasha."

Kya edged from behind the dumpster. "My name is Kya."

Natasha gave her a tiny smile. "Can you show us what you did to them?"

Kya gave them a shaky nod before bending what water she had left in her water-skin out.

Clint furrowed his eyebrows. "Is that why they were chasing you?"

Kya shook her head as she edged a little further from behind the dumpster. "No. I stole some fruit from them."

At the mention of hey bounty, her stomach rumbled and she realized she lost the bag a while back.

Natasha raised an eyebrow when she noticed how thin the little one was. "When's the last time you had a proper meal?"

Kya's face was somber when she remembered eating with her family. "Two months ago."

Clint and Natasha shared a look before looking back at her and smiled. "Come on."

Kya furrowed her eyebrows. "Where?"

Clint grinned. "Dinner. We're buying."

And so began Kya's life in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Author's Note: Quick question, should I include Kya in the Avengers movie and maybe some other marvel movies in between or just dive straight into Age of Ultron?
