Shade was standing in the shadows the trees casted down in the afternoon sun. She always felt more comfortable in the shadows. More secure somehow. She looked towards the school where she lived with other mutants. Wishing that people weren't afraid of them so she could just live a normal life.
"Do you always stay in the shadows?" she heard a voice say. Shade looked down and saw Logan. He was another mutant like her. "Maybe." She answered. "Being that using shadows is my mutant ability why not. And it helps me stay hidden from some people."
"So you think. It's not to hard to find you. All anyone has to do is look in the shadows." he said. "And your never in the sun light." Logan looked at her.
"Yeah. I really need to pick better hiding spots. So what do you want?" she asked, knowing there was something going on. "You know better than anyone not to bother me unless theres something important."
"Do you always try and avoid as much conversation as possible?" he asked shade, who nodded yes. "Fine. The professor wants to see all of the top mutants, which includes you, now. And before you ask why, I don't know. All he said was that it's important."
Shade sighed and walked out of the shadows. "Fine. This better be worth it then." she began to walk towards the school, with Logan following her. When they got to the school, they saw most of the stronger/ veteran mutants there. Shade wasn't really the socail type so she stood towards the edge of the group and stayed quiet like she normally did in large groups.
"I have asked you all to come here so we could discuss something that we have discovered." The professor began. "We have discovered that most people we know like Magneto, Mystique, Sabertooth, and others have been meeting with someone known as Doctor Doom." he paused for a minute. "And that's not all. It appears that some other villians we have never faced are teaming up with them."
"Are these other villians mutants?" someone in the crowd asked. "And is this Doctor Doom guy a mutant?"
"No." the professor answered. "None of these other villians are mutants. And neither is Doctor Doom. We must fight them in order to save the planet though. I have found some people who have fought these villians before and have decided that it would be best to team up with them if we are to defeat the villians."
Great... More people... Shade thought. She continued to listen to what to professor was saying.
"So, who are these people then? And are they friendly?" Another person asked.
"These people are a group, like us. Know as the Avengers. They know a few more people that aren't in the group that could help to." He replied.
When Shade hear 'Avengers' her head snapped up. She knew someone on that theam. Her Brother.
