Prologue:
Third Person:
She was a huntress on the hunt- prowling through the jungle. She was watching- she was always watching. It was her job, her solemn duty to watch, listen, and protect.
After all, she deserved the fate that she had. She deserved to be there until her days were over- protecting that idol. She was Kato Skrapi, first born of her parents, and a descendant of the idol's makers. So just like her ancestors before her, she will protect that idol with her life. It was an honor to do and she would do it gladly.
She might have just recently been freed from her personal hell- that same hell that kept her from protecting the idol. Some people- some humans- might think that it was a bit pointless to get free only to go to protect some idol. Some might say that protecting the idol might be worthless, or that it might be some type of different cage. However, it wasn't like to her. She had so much freedom- so much more than she had in the past.
Besides, it wasn't like she had anything else to do anything. She didn't have a family. She didn't have friends. This was her life and she accepted that happily.
"Okay, team, listen up," Nick Fury, stated, "Taskmaster is back, and he's after a priceless powerful idol, and we need to get it before him."
Nova scoffed.
"Sounds easy enough."
"I wasn't finished. I have personally asked Captain America, Wolverine, Iron-"
"Sorry to disappoint, Fury, but I'll be filling in for all of them."
A second later a girl-one of the new Avengers-literally dropped down from the ceiling. She had midnight blue wings, calico fur, fangs, green eyes, a panther like tail, and a metal arm on her left side, with her dirty blonde hair put into a ponytail, her long bangs expertly covering her left eye. She wore black combat boots with white shoe laces, blue skinny jeans, white finger-less gloves, and a black tank top with the white half of the Yin-Yang symbol.
"Before you ask, Cap is undercover, Wolverine is doing some X-Men business, Stark is in the middle of bringing the HQ's systems back online-which is top priority-and Thor is in Asgard. Creature would be here too but he's on an inter-dimensional crisis with the Fantastic Four, so you're just gonna have to deal with it."
The team all stared at her in shock at how straight forward and monotone she was being with the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. She turned to them with a look of utter boredom as she sighed,
"You owe me for this, Fury. I would be in Asgard with Thor if it wasn't for you. Anyway," she turned towards the team, "Name's Animal, Alex, call me fur ball or make an animal joke and it will be the last thing you do."
They all laughed nervously.
"So," Spider-Man said, "I'm your-"
"-Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, that's Nova, Power Man, White Tiger, and Iron Fist."
He huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. Tiger and Power Man looked irritated at how annoyingly confident and rude she was acting. Nova was laughing and Iron Fist was really just chill.
"Question," Nova said as he raised a finger and pointed to the metallic arm, "How did you lose your arm?"
Alex glared and flew up to him getting dangerously close. Her face was just inches away from his. Her eyes narrowed.
"If you want to live to see tomorrow," she spoke in deathly low tone," Then I suggest you never ask that question again."
Then, as if nothing had happened, she flew away from him and turned to Fury.
"So, when do we leave? I'm starting to get bored."
"Now."
