Hey S.H.E.I.L.D Agents in training today I give you the latest chapter of heroes united. Thanks for all the submissions and I have chosen the team but what I need is a team name. I own only Dr Lehmkuhl/Gypsy the rest belongs to their respective creators. (Marlena belongs to doublem9327, Penny to The Lady Cloudy, Talia to Emmeline C. Thornbrooke and Aleksy to Dame Rivere) Enjoy the fic and thanks to everyone who followed and favourited this fic!
"I swear Lehmkuhl you really do make things harder for yourself than they need to be." Fury says shaking his head at Dr Lehmkuhl who is going over each file of potential subjects.
So far she had tossed away the majority of the folders and had chosen only two already. One a scrawny girl and the other a boy that could pass for a girl. Needless to say Fury was not happy.
"Go blow up a building or whatever it is you do Fury. I stand by my choices so far and don't need your approval." Dr Lehmkuhl says not even looking up from the folder she was reading.
"I swear if you weren't the only known living descendant of the original Titans I would fire you in a heartbeat." Fury tells the doctor with a growl.
"But I am so you can't." Dr Lehmkuhl says with a small smirk as she turns the page.
The file she was reading was her own surprisingly and she was almost done reading it. If you're thinking she'll toss it like the others then you're wrong because she just placed her file on the approve list. Fury shakes his head at her and leaves the room.
"Men." Dr Lehmkuhl mutters under her breath and gets back to work.
"Lehmkuhl this had better be a joke." Fury says storming into Dr Lehmkuhl's new lab.
It looked like something from a monster movie except a little more untidy.
"No joke. Those are the subjects with the most potential for the project." Dr Lehmkuhl says coming out from behind a bunch of beakers.
"Really? A deaf girl, a boy who looks like a girl, a girl so scrawny even Dr Banner can throw her, a girl who needs to repeat herself and you? This is not the team I asked you to put together." Fury says angrily at Dr Lehmkuhl's choices.
"Only because you cannot see the big picture. Each of these people is special in their own way and has already fought battles larger than we've ever been through. Fury trust me on this when I say that these teens are the solution to our problem." Dr Lehmkuhl says wisely showing her direct decadence to the original Titans.
"Fine I'll bring them up. But you better know what you're doing Lehmkuhl. If this fails we'll lose the only fighting shot we have and that's you." Fury says walking out of the room with a huff.
"I swear is he always this cranky or just with geniuses?" Dr Lehmkuhl asks herself and gets back to work.
"Why are we here?" A scrawny girl with strawberry blonde curly hair that goes to her shoulders and bright blue eyes asks nervously.
Her skin is extremely pale with plenty of freckles on it. She is wearing a pair of light blue skinny jeans, a loose fitting white t-shirt with floral designs, and a pair of pink pastel flip flops.
"No clue." A girl with a really rough voice says.
She has medium olive skin. Her wavy, waist length, black hair is pulled into braids that hit the front of her waist. Her cat eye shaped eyes are hazel. She is wearing jeans, black boots and an old t-shirt.
"Alright get in line!" Fury barks out and the small group of four rush to do as he says.
"I'm not happy that Dr Lehmkuhl chose you four to be the test subjects but it is her experiment." Fury says as he stands in front of the group.
"Test subgets?" The last girl in the room asks.
She has shoulder-length dark brown hair that is tousled and a little shaggy, fair skin, chocolate brown eyes, and a small beauty mark above her lip. Her heart-shaped face has chubby cheeks, but has short cheekbone outlines. She has an upturned nose, but has small freckles sprinkled across her nose area. She is wearing black silk trousers, a sheer white blouse and black loafers.
"Yes test subjects. Please excuse Director Dumbo here. I'm Dr Lehmkuhl but most people call me Gypsy." Dr Lehmkuhl says entering the room with a clipboard.
Her hair was surprisingly let loose and her glasses were gone showing off her bright brown eyes. Today she is wearing a purple t-shirt with a white flower, grey yoga pants and purple sneakers.
"Yeah we call her Gypsy because she has this tendency to give us too much of a show." A guard says and yelps when Gypsy stomps on his foot.
"If you'll all follow me to the testing room and we can get started." Gypsy says with a calm smile leading everyone to a room with five beds in it.
Dr Bruce Banner was overseeing the process since Gypsy herself would be undergoing it.
"Are you sure about this Gypsy?" Dr Banner asks afraid for Gypsy.
Gypsy was basically a little sister to most of the agents and employees of S.H.E.I.L.D and no one wanted her to get hurt.
"Yes I'm sure." Gypsy says sitting down on the bed next to the only boy of the group.
The boy has platinum blonde shaggy hair that's cut into a messy bob that ends just below his ears. His eyes are a dull, dark blue, outlined in a deep green around the irises and his skin is pale. He is wearing dark blue track pants, a white t-shirt and sneakers.
"Only if you're sure." Dr Banner says everyone except the teens leave the room.
As soon as the door is shut the room fills with purple gas and the teens are knocked out. A large mechanical arm with five injections then comes out the roof and goes to each teen and injects them with the formula. The only person whose appearance changed was Gypsy. Her brown hair turned a dark blue, her tanned skin turned bright blue, her brown eyes turned red and catlike, her eye teeth became fangs and she sprouted a dark blue devil's tail.
"Oh my word. I always knew she was the devil but not so literally." Fury says completely shocked at seeing Gypsy look so unlike well Gypsy as he walks into the room and stops a few feet from Gypsy's bed.
Unfortunately for him, Gypsy was awake enough to hear him and her tail came about a centimetre from taking out his other eye.
"Next time check to see if the person you're talking about is awake." Gypsy says with a small growl as she got off her bed.
She was the first and only one up. The gas was supposed to knock them out for an hour but apparently that doesn't apply to those with superhero blood in their veins.
"Maybe we should have contacted the X-Men instead." A guard outside whispers to his friend who nods.
"Fury if you need me I'll be in the weapons and uniforms' division." Gypsy says walking out of the room.
"That demon will be the death of me." Fury says pinching the bridge of his nose.
"What are you looking at?! Get these teens to weapons and uniforms now!" Fury barks out and everyone rushes to do as he says.
"This may work." Gypsy says finishing off a tambourine she was working on.
It has a pressure pad beneath the skin that when tapped cause the cymbals to shoot out the sides at extremely high speeds but in the direction the hand moved on the skin.
"Okay here's the test." Gypsy says tapping the skin of the tambourine and sending the cymbals into a target on the other side of the room.
"Perfect." Gypsy says happily as she reset the tambourine.
She already has quite a few weapons developed. She has a bunch of lily shaped throwing 'stars' for Talia (The deaf girl with the rough voice) as well as a bunch of other lily themed weapons, a hover-board for Aleksy (The boy), a top hat that can turn into restraints and a wand to channel energy for Marlena (The girl with brown hair), an utility belt with different weapons for Penny (The scrawny girl) and a scarf for herself that can turn into a whip, a parachute or a grappling gun.
"Not bad for an hour's work." Gypsy says with a grin twirling around in her new uniform.
Her new uniform is a skin-tight white top that shows her midriff, a white skirt that reaches just above her ankles, a golden belt that secures white sheer fabric to the skirt, white tights under the skirt, a dark gold collar necklace, dark gold bracers on her forearms and a white veil over the lower half of her face. She didn't wear any shoes because she saw she was faster without them on.
"Lehmkuhl are you done with the weapons yet? The teens you chose are starting to wake-up." Fury says walking into the room and barely doges the cymbals that almost shredded his head.
"Ya think?" Gypsy asks calling the cymbals back and walking out the room with a triumphant grin.
Gypsy walks into the room across from the weapons lab and sees all the teens slowly regaining consciousness. She stops and reads each of their charts which list the powers they just gained. She smiles at each one and then reads her own and her jaw drops.
"Apparently DNA does factor in." Gypsy says still wide eyed at the list of her powers but shakes it off as all the teens are finally awake.
"Morning everyone. Look I know you're all confused about what just happened and why you're here so let me explain. S.H.E.I.L.D has a problem and a big one at that. Most of the superheroes out there can't stand us and I don't blame them so we needed some fresh meat so to speak. So Fury put me on the project and I chose you guys because of your personalities and talents to be our team. If you don't want to be on the team I understand and will remove your powers. Speak up now if you want out because after 24 hours I can't do anything." Gypsy says and the teens look to each other as if talking without speaking.
Eventually all the teens nod much to the relief of Gypsy.
"Oh thank goodness you said yes otherwise Fury would have my head. So does anyone have any ideas for their code names?" Gypsy asks sitting down on a chair as everyone tries out their new powers.
"Okladka. It is Polish for cover." Aleksy the boy says as he creates a storm cloud over Gypsy's head and accidently causes it to rain and Gypsy gets soaked.
"More like Polish for soak your instructor." Gypsy says grouchily as the rain stops but she is still soaked causing her hair to go straight and her pointed ears to be seen.
"Merilyn. A combination of Merlin and Marilyn Monroe." Marlena says and Gypsy nods her head in approval.
"Nice I like it. Very original." Gypsy says and looks to Talia.
"Lily after my mom." Talia says and Gypsy nods in understanding while fingering the T shaped locket she wore.
"Bandit it just fits." Penny says turning invisible and visible again.
"Yeah it does." Gypsy says nodding her head.
"And you?" Talia asks as Gypsy stands up.
"Gypsy. Apparently it's not a good idea to go through the process when one of your ancestors was a green changeling huh?" Gypsy says with a grin noticing everyone's shocked faces.
"Now follow me to the training room and we'll get started." Gypsy says leading them to a gym.
Everyone except Gypsy looks in awe of the Olympic grade equipment. Gypsy grabs a pole for the pole vault and slams it on the ground to get everyone's attention.
"Ladies and gentleman welcome to S.H.E.I.L.D. Hope you survive the experience." Gypsy says with a smirk and everyone gulps.
Oh how people think training is easy. Well I'll see you lot later. Chavonnie26 out. Peace.
