A/N- I don't own the avengers, marvel comics, or any of the known characters in this story. It would be awesome if I was Stan Lee, but alas that is not how it worked out.
"I have no desire to come work for you, Mr. Fury" Ariana Winters stated. She never flinched underneath the man's stare. He was not the first person to offer her a job, but he was the only one who as of yet hadn't tried to "force" her into it.
"Your country needs you Ms. Winters. I am sure you saw the news coverage on New York." replied Fury.
"Of course, an alien invasion even gets coverage way out here in BFE. It seemed to me that 'my country' had more than adequate help. After all isn't that what the Avengers are for?"
"I would like you to join the Avenger Initiative."
She could not help but laugh when he stated this. She took in her surroundings, the one room cabin with a cot in the corner, and said "I don't do teams. Didn't any of research tell you that I am dangerous?"
"I believe we can help you control your abilities." He paused "After all Dr. Banner managed to successfully control his alter ego during the invasion."
"Fine" Ari said, She was not able to turn down a chance to be normal "I will come with you, but only for a month. If at the end of that time I am still unable to regulate these abilities, as you called them, you and your people will let me disappear like I have been trying to do."
"Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D.. Pack your bag we leave for New York in an hour." With that he swept out of the room. His trench coat flaring out behind him like a bad omen.
Ari collapsed into the chair behind her, all her energy fading out of her. Her hands shaking with the fear she had managed to suppress during the conversation. In the aftermath she wondered what she had just gotten herself into. And later as two agents came to collect her and her bag, she wonder just how many people she would hurt this time around.
