My memories cannot take me too far back, for I seem to have no recollection of my life beyond a few years. Even then I can make no sense of the memories I do have. They are fleeting images, merely snippets of a whole picture that I cannot put together, no matter how hard I try. A friend of mine, another who also has no semblance of an idea of where he came from, suggested I write down these memories. So far, each memory does not connect. Maybe one day I'll be able to make sense of them.

It seems that everyone here has no inclination to mention where we are from. We only know that we are a few of maybe a couple hundred survivors of a catastrophic event that nearly destroyed our planet. They say it's best to forget the past, and so they do not tell us what our planet was called, or how we got in to space. From the looks of it, we may have all come from different planets. Those, like me, in the training facility are told they are the lucky few who have passed testing… tests that I do not remember taking. Testing that made me, and only those select few, candidates to be defenders as they put it, protectors of the survivors. I don't understand what may have possessed me to take the test before I lost my memory. Most of my day is spent unconscious, connected to tubes, and continuously injected with a blue substance. They say it is to enhance my potential. I say it's unpleasant and cruel. They need me and the others to be as strong as we can be, if we are to defend our people. I am starting to not believe them. Two have already died. I don't want to die, but I see no other alternative. We are floating in space, hiding from the Avengers, and subsisting off of rations, and have no plans of finding a new home until there is a fleet of defenders.

I just want out of this, I want to remember who I am, I want to go home, but I can't even move right now… and… all I can do is watch the… drip… drip… of the blue substance dribble from a pack into my arm and…


A/N: This will not be a ridiculous mary-sue story in which the character gets it on right away with one of the avengers. There will be character and plot development, as well as a build up of the relationship. I will do my best to develop the story as realistically as possible, all the while staying true to the characters personalities.

Warning: This story contains a female OC, and it will be centered around her. She may become romantically connected to one of the Avengers, however, it will not be the main focus of the story. This warning is to let those who prefer to avoid stories with OC's, especially ones who are romantic interests to canon characters, and to allow them to avoid the story.
