The doorbell rang through the mansion as Marina went to answer it. She had been expecting this visit all day and didn't know how to feel about it. Was she in some sort of trouble? Did they want to take her in for evaluation? Marina had no clue but she let all the possibilities circle her mind as she cautiously opened the door of the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. "Be calm," she told herself. "There is nothing to worry about. " Marina thought to herself as she was met face to face with a man in a black suit. "Good afternoon Ms. Logan. I'm Agent Coulson, here on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D. May I come in?" the man asked. "Of course," Marina replied as she opened the door wider for Coulson to enter. She led him to the sitting area, where they sat to discuss whatever Coulson had come there to talk about. "Would you like something to drink Agent Coulson? Some tea, coffee, water?" Marina kindly offered. "Coffee would be fine, thank you." Coulson said, fully expecting Marina to get up and make him a cup of coffee. Marina did no such thing however, and soon a mug of coffee came floating into the room. It landed carefully in her hands. "Let me just heat this up for you," Marina said as a small burst of fire erupted from her hand, and heated up the coffee. "Here you go," Marina said with a smirk, offering the mug to Agent Coulson. The agent was not at all surprised as he expressed a simple thank you and accepted the coffee. "So Ms. Logan," Agent Coulson started. "I know you're curious as to why I've come to visit you today. The director of S.H.I.E.L.D, Nick Fury, has asked me to propose an offer to you."

"What kind of offer?" Marina inquired.

"We'd like you to be a part of the Avengers Initiative."

Hey there :) This is a small introduction to my new story Glory and Gore, which is a crossover between X-Men Evolution and The Avengers. It may be a weird combination, but it's from my imagination so I think it's unique. I've written a Harry Potter fic before which is still up, but I don't recommend reading it because I wasn't the best writer 4 years ago. I'm not saying I'm an excellent writer now, but I think my current writing is decent and way better than it was before, though it still needs work. So tell me what you think about this and I guess I'll be posting more soon, so stay tuned...
