A/N: Hello, everyone! I'm amazed and so happy to see so many people are already enjoying this story! Also, I received a review about this, so I thought I'd answer here in case anyone else has the same question: The Avengers in this story are mostly based off the cartoon version from Avengers Assemble, with a bit of their movie personalities as well, so that's why you're seeing more of Hulk than Banner, as in the cartoon, they spent more time as Hulk than Banner. I hope that clears up that question for everyone and I hope you continue to enjoy the story!
"Alright. It looks like next is the White Trailer, where we get to meet little miss side ponytail. Guess she doesn't like symmetry." Tony said, gesturing to the girl in white on the cover, who, like he said, had an off-center ponytail on the right side of her head.
"From the look of it, she uses a rapier. I'm guessing her style's about speed and finesse." Widow analyzed.
"A rapier? Those are those swords they use in fencing. That never made me think of them as deadly. We'll have to see." Steve said.
Darkness gave way to reveal the words:
"Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow, for the heart has no metrics or forms of measure. And all of it... irreplaceable."
The Avengers had no words for this statement, all of them simply closing their eyes to think of their own past sorrows and regrets
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome... Weiss Schnee." An amplified voice announced.
"Anyone else have a hard time catching that?" Hawkeye asked, the others nodding
A young girl in white with a barely visible scar over her left eye walked out on stage into the spotlight as a piano played the opening of "Mirror Mirror" before a crowd of people, occasionally taking pictures from their stands around the white castle they appeared to be in. She closed her eyes and began to sing.
"Mirror, tell me something. Tell me who's the loneliest of all..." Weiss sang.
"The girl has the voice of an angel." Thor said approvingly.
"But if those lyrics have any personal meaning. That's a bit sad." Widow said, being able to relate to loneliness.
While she sang, the view sinks down into her scar-free reflection on the stage, the world tilting until she opened her eyes and found herself in another place, the light and shadows shifting until a warrior in giant armor with an equally massive broadsword appeared before her.
"Whoa! A little girl is gonna fight that big monster!? I don't know about this one..." Hawkeye said.
"And why not, exactly?" Widow asked with an annoyed tone, causing Clint to flinch a bit. Much like with the girl in red, Natasha was also confident in this Weiss girl. After all, Widow herself goes up against creatures Hulk's size from time to time.
"I don't doubt her, but it's gonna be tough to get through armor like that." Tony said.
"A guy that big with a sword that size is gonna hit hard. She'll have to move fast and avoid getting hit if she wants to win this." Steven analyzed.
She backflipped just as the Giant Armor brings its blade down on where she was, and the song continued as her flashback took over.
"Mirror, tell me something. Tell me who's the loneliest of all?" Weiss continued to sing off-screen.
Weiss unsheathed her own rapier, Myrtenaster, and darted forward, getting a hit on her enemy before twirling into a landing. The Giant Armor swung again, but she dashed away and landed several spinning slashes on the creature. It retaliated when she uppercut into the air, arcing its sword around and hitting Weiss' rapier, which she brought up just in time to merely knock her back.
"Whoa! This girl's gotta be at least as fast as that red girl." Hawkeye said.
"I'll say. She's dancing circles around that guy." Tony agreed.
"An excellent start! She's landed several hits already! And only received one she managed to block!" Thor said.
"I could crush that tin can easy." Hulk said.
"But you're not the one fighting it. We know what you can do, big guy, we want to see what SHE can do." Widow said.
"You know, her rapier may be the best weapon for dealing with this guy. It's small enough to hit all the weak points and openings in the armor, so she can do more damage." Steve said.
When she slowed down, Weiss looked up to see the Giant Armor leaping into the air and hurling the sword down on her, then swinging it back up in an effort to get its fast-moving target. It finally hit her blade again, and she is knocked away until she rolled back on her feet.
"Fear of, what's inside of me. Tell me can a heart be turned to stone?" Weiss sang off-screen.
The Avengers frowned at this. "Sounds like this girl's got a lot of baggage." Tony said.
"Sounds like she's scared of herself, or what she could turn out like. What could her life be like to make her that way?" Widow wondered.
With white energy now gathered on her fingertips, Weiss motioned to the ground beneath her, and a snowflake symbol appeared that propeled her forward at extreme speeds. Despite the Giant Armor's attempts to slash at her, Weiss disappeared and reappeared all around it, leaping through the air using her glyphs and landing a blow with each pass.
This was the first jaw dropping moment of the trailer for the Avengers. "Whoa! She's got some magic on her side or something! Strange should have a look at this."Hawkeye said.
"If the big guy had trouble getting his hands on her before, he's got no chance now." Widow said.
"The young maiden has landed many impressive hits! We even saw her opponent lose some ground!" Thor said.
After a slash to the face, the Giant Armor aimed at Weiss' feet, who leapt over it and got an undefended fist to her head (earning a wince or sympathetic "ooh!" from the Avengers). Weiss was launched yet again, but this time, her attempt to get back up was weak and unsure.
"Come on, kid! You can do this!" Widow said.
"Do not give up, young Weiss! Stand and continue fighting!" Thor encouraged.
"A nasty hit like that without armor. I don't think I'd be getting up, either." Tony said.
A worried Weiss closed her eyes, and in the real world, the spotlight suddenly cut out.
(I don't like the look of that.) Steve thought worriedly.
The moon made itself known when the clouds in front of it passed, showering Weiss in its light as she sang, eyes still closed. In her mind, she stood back up, eyeing the Giant Armor with blood trailing down the left side of her face (The Avengers winced a bit again), and held out her sword, spinning the revolver in the hilt until a red energy appears over the blade. The Giant Armor ran up and dropped its sword on her, but it met her rapier and was deflected off.
This left the Avengers shocked once again. "Whoa! She just knocked back a giant sword like that! I think we underestimated her!" Hawkeye said.
"That's one hell of a comeback." Widow said, pleasantly surprised.
"So, her weapon is also some kind of revolver. And whatever's in the red chamber is some kind of powerful energy. Can't wait to see what's in the other chambers." Tony said eagerly, thinking of different types of missiles he could put in one of his suits for something of similar effect.
"Mirror, mirror, what's behind you? Save me from the things I see! I can keep it from the world. Why won't you let me hide from me?" Weiss continued to sing.
"This song's a buzzkill." Hulk grumbled.
"Definitely not the happiest song I've ever heard." Widow said.
Steve said nothing, but also felt sympathy for the girl, wondering how sad her life must be to bring about a song like this.
Weiss switched it up and spun, a cyan light now creating a wave of ice when she struck it into the ground that froze the Giant Armor in place. It swung again, but Weiss ran ahead and jumped on the sword.
"Ice, too! This girl's full of surprises!" Tony said.
"I certainly wouldn't have seen that coming. The ice or jumping on the sword." Steve agreed.
"Indeed! This girl's bravery rivals that of Lady Sif's! And yours of course, Black Widow." Thor said, quickly adding that sentence at the end as Widow glared at him.
Myrtenaster was now glowing yellow, and she rolled on the broadsword and slashed at her foe, destroying the ice crystals in shards of purple but impaling its weapon into the ground.
"You're in trouble now, tin can!" Hulk smirked
"Aha! She has disarmed her opponent! Victory is imminent!" Thor laughed.
She rotated the hilt again and a snowflake circle spun under her when the Giant Armor tried to hammer its fist down on her, but she rolled out of the way and activates the glyph, launching the warrior up into the air and becoming trapped by Weiss' beams of blue energy.
"She's got him trapped!" Hawkeye said.
"I have no idea what that could even be!" Tony said in shock.
"There's no way for him to get out of this! It's over!" Widow said.
"Mirror, mirror, tell me something. Who's the loneliest of all?" Weiss sang the line once more.
With one final leap into the air and her real self singing the last lines of her song, Myrtenaster glowed with the white markings on its blade and Weiss descended onto the Giant Armor. When her attack was done and she landed in a crouch, the black hollows of the enemy lit up and crashed to the ground in a shower of ice and snow behind her.
"I'm the loneliest of all." Weiss finished the song.
The Avengers were once again in awe at this, before Thor began laughing loudly. "Incredible! She fought not only with speed and grace, but great power and astounding mystical abilities!" Thor said.
"She turned that tin can into scrap! Bet she could even scrap some of your suits, Tony." Hulk teased.
"I HIGHLY doubt it. But I'll admit, she does have a lot to bring to the table." Tony said.
"Yeah. She already fights with incredible speed and precision, but the versatility from those glyph things and all the different elements she has in the revolver of that sword. She'd be a tough opponent for anyone." Steve analyzed. "Gotta say, though, the lyrics to this song keep bugging me. Something tells me that girl has a few issues she needs to work out." He added. The rest of the Avengers nodded, though still had to admit, her voice was perfect for singing.
"So, that's where the scar came from." Widow said as the blood was removed from Weiss' head, a better view of the scar being shown.
"And did anyone else see that scary mist come out of the suit... which shattered when it hit the ground. It has to be something like those wolf things that Red fought." Hawkeye said, the Avengers agreeing, feeling more at ease about the creature's fate.
Weiss got up and closed her eyes, finishing Mirror Mirror to a gentle shower of snowflakes and a roar of applause from her audience. She opened her eyes and looked around as if in a daze, then peered up at the slightly-scattered moon above.
"Odin's beard! It would appear this world's moon is broken!" Thor said.
"If that happened here, besides most likely a bunch of debris falling to Earth and causing serious damage, the tides would probably be out of control." Tony said.
"Well, no one's panicking, so it must be normal for them." Hawkeye said.
She dipped her head and bowed to the crowd as the curtains closed around her, followed closely by RWBY's title and the silhouettes of its characters, the as of yet unnamed girl in red and now Weiss Schnee.
"So, we know two of them now." Steve said.
"We only know one, really. We still don't even know the name of the girl in the red hood." Widow said.
"Until we actually learn her name, my vote is we call her Red." Hawkeye said.
"Better than nothing." Hulk said simply.
"They gotta say her name at some point. So, how about we keep watching and find out." Tony said.
"Agreed! I wish to see more of these warriors! Let us see what comes next!" Thor boomed.
"Alright, then. Let's see what the girl with the bow has to offer." Widow said, playing the next trailer.
