Welcome to the Avengers
So much has changed in the course of seven years. I can't believe I didn't even bother to pick up the paper to found out that my own father is a terrorizing Lizard man! Or maybe I did try to pick up the paper...that's why everyone at the X-Manse was so insisting on making me train right after breakfast, they didn't want me to discover what my father has done. Part of me is angry that they kept such a huge thing from me but the other part is grateful, it's better that my mom decided to tell me and Peter.
My childhood friend Peter Parker has returned, and he reveals to me that he is New York's favorite creepy crawler Spider Man. Who knew Petey would grow up to be a suave butt-kicking ladies man, but when the mask comes off he's a total nerd. A Cute nerd though, which is why it's understandable that he managed to get a pretty blonde with brains named Gwen Stacey as a girlfriend.
I met her yesterday and I felt guilty because my father killed her father. I also thought that she would hate my guts because of it, but it turned out that Gwen is one of the most rational people on the planet because she told me that it was not my fault and she hoped that we could be friends, then she told me that SHE feels sorry for ME because finding out such tragic information must really impact me psychologically in a negative way. To Peter's relief Gwen and I immediately befriended one another, and we all hangout with each other sometimes because we all are science geeks. She and Peter even helped me and my mom redecorate my bedroom which looked like a lab and a zoo before it's transformation.
Peter told me that the room looked like a Hipster and a bookworm threw up in here. Gotta love a smart-ass right? I like my room it feels like me, but it was weird not sharing a room after having a roommate for seven years (I miss Jean) and it got lonely. So last night I had my mom sleep in the bed with me, I know I'm utterly ridiculous and to make me more immature, she sang me to sleep with the French lullaby she sang to me as a little girl.
"Sabrina, geet up! You 'ave to be at Stark Mansion in an 'our! Allez-viens!"
That would be maman calling. She seems to forget that I can teleport. Not minding getting up because of the schedule back at School, I easily visit my shower. It was a usual morning with me singing in the shower and shampooing my hair. It was a nice shower until I got soap in my eye which took a while to wash out of my eye. When I went back into my room I screamed when I saw Peter Parker hanging upside down from my ceiling reading my Charles Darwin book on Evolution.
"Darwin obviously thought close-minded, this is all wrong!" He chuckled.
"Oh Darwin you silly ol' goat!"
I glare and take the book before whacking him in the head with it.
"Ow mother fudger!" He falls to ground and rubs his head.
"Peter it's morning and you decided to come into my bedroom unannounced, didn't you think at all that I was getting dress?"
He jumped back up on his feet.
"Yes of course I did but I really wanted to know why they wanted you and not me me!" He whined.
I narrowed my eyes, not getting at all what he was saying.
"Who?"
"The man! The government! Big Brother! SHIELD! The Avengers!" He threw his hands up in the air.
I bit my lip to keep from laughing. Peter is actually jealous that they asked me and not Spider Man.
"Maybe they asked me because I make it easier to reach me instead of staying up in the sky, and maybe just maybe they like me better!" I teased going over to my closet.
What does one wear for meeting Earth's mightiest heroes? I heard Peter scoff and turned around to meet his offended face.
"How could they like you better if you weren't even here in the city saving lives and fighting crimes? You were up learning your Jedi skills!"
I rolled my eyes and returned to looking for an outfit.
"Ooh do you think Captain America would like to see me in red and blue?" I teased.
"Sabrina this isn't fair!"
"Stop whining Pouty Parker, I'm sure they'll come to you soon just make it easier for them to reach you okay?"
He sighed and plopped on my bed.
"Peter is jeeeealous." I sang.
"I am not it's just that you- smell funny!"
"Really? Out of all your witty comebacks you steal a poorly used Jack Sparrow one? Really Parker?"
"I'm depressed just leave me to die!"
"Okay."
"I'll decompose on your bed."
"I promise not wait up."
I choose my tight black that came above my knees.
"My rotting corpse stench will never leave your room."
"I'll sleep in the guest room."
I took my dark burgundy, button down off the hanger and made sure that the sleeves were rolled at the elbows.
"Spider Man will never be able to save New York EVER AGAIN!"
I decide to wear my knee high black high heeled boots with the outfit.
"Don't worry they have the Avengers to take care of that."
"Damn you Connors damn you to hell you White Witch!"
I turn around holding the outfit against my body.
"Now are you talking about the Narnian white witch or the Forbidden Kingdom one?"
He groaned.
"Petey I'm just pulling your web stop crying, if you want I can talk to Director Fury about letting you join the Avengers."
His face lit up like a child's in a candy store.
"Really?"
I laughed and ruffled his hair.
"Yes! But you owe me."
"Shit, what do I have to do?"
I smirked.
"The Black and White theater on 57th street is having a Harry Potter Marathon next Friday and before the showing there's a Potter Party in the pub below it..."
He twitched.
"And..."
"And I need a Remus Lupin."
He sighed.
"But I have a date with Gwen next friday!"
"Then baby you gotta bring her along because this is your one way ticket to SHIELD."
"Blah fine!" Don't you love his responses? I know I do.
I squealed and hugged him.
"Yay you're the best, now get out I have to get dressed." I push him out the door while he rambles about he's going to get Gwen to come.
Feeling upbeat I turn on some music and play 'Pumped Up Kicks' by Foster the People. I know that it's about kids shooting kids but hey the beat made me feel up. I get dressed in my desired attire and put on a pair of my black rose earrings and slide on the watch that Grand-mere Natalie gave me last Christmas, it's Chanel.
"I'll just put on some lipstick." I say putting a coat of dark red lipstick, it's the only make up I wear.
I put on my black rectangle framed glasses, brush my hair and spray on some perfume. I checked my briefcase again to see if I had all my files in order and then teleported to the kitchen making maman jump but Peter, who was already eating breakfast chuckle.
"Sabrina Natalie Connors, vous m'avez fait peur! Don't ever do that again!"
I hugged her and laughed.
"Je suis desolee Maman!
"You know half of me wishes that I understood what you two were saying, but the other half of me just doesn't care." Said Peter eating an omelet.
I make a stink face at him and sit down at the table. Maman smiles and gives me my plate and setting down my cafe au lait.
"Merci."
"De rien."
"Speak English!"
"Shut up Pete it's my house."
"Fair enough."
The three of us laugh and maman sits with eating a croissant.
"Sabrina what does SHIELD an' Tony Stark want with you?" She asked.
"They want her to join their boy band." Said Peter.
I threw a muffin at him which he ducked.
"They want me to be an Agent."
"Like James Bond?" Quizzed Maman.
"Only without the suit, car, and hot girls."
"Actually Parker I do get a suit and the redhead Black Widow is definitely a femme fatale, and I have a motorcycle so I'm pretty much James Bond."
He stuck his tongue out.
"SHIELD is good, they sponsor Captain America and Tony Stark and everyone who saved New York from that Alien attack." Said Maman.
"I can't I missed that."
"I did too Sabrina don't worry."
"Oh really where were you?"
"The Bahamas with Aunt May, we needed to get away after um- Uncle Ben you know?" He cleared his throat and picked up the paper.
My heart sank for him, he lost his father figure, he doesn't like talking about it because he's afraid to cry.
Maman knew that it was time to change the topic and looked at the clock and her eyes bulged.
"Sacre-bleu! Sabrina you have five minutes to get to Stark Mansion you will be late!"
"Maman I can teleport!"
"Oh oui, of course." She gets up to kiss my cheek.
"Take care and good luck Cherie."
"I will maman, Pete give me a squeeze before I go."
He gets up and hugs me.
"Don't forget, I won't."
In a snap I teleported. I looked around, it looked like a hallway but it felt like a palace, it was bigger than the X-Manse! AC/DC's Back in Black album was blaring through the speakers, I must be in Stark Mansion.
"Lost your way?"
I turned around to see a man in his late thirties with wavy dark hair streaked with gray, he had stress lines around his deep eyes that held pain but he was still handsome.
"Oh yes, hi I'm Sabrina Connors and I-"
"Yeah I know who you are, just follow me and I'll let you meet everyone, by the way I'm Dr. Bruce Banner." I shook his hand and smiled.
"It's a pleasure Dr. Banner."
"Please, call me Bruce."
"Will do, Call me Sabrina."
He nodded and smiled under the smile was anguish, this man must be the Hulk, out of all of them this would definitely be him.
As I followed him into an elevator and all the way to a double doors I couldn't stop shaking, I was both nervous and excited, I really don't want to screw this up.
"Okay here we are, everyone's having a top secret conversation so don't mind the tense vibe."
When Bruce opened the door it was not what I was expected. Tony Stark was throwing red, white, and blue popsicles at a very handsome blonde man who looked like he was going to burst at any moment.
"Eat the popsicle Cap'n stop being so tense eat it eat it eat it it's like taking a bite out of America!" That must be Captain America.
A beautiful redhead was rubbing her temples, it's Black Widow.
"Stark stop behaving like an ass I'd like to discuss what's important!"
"I agree with Nat, you're getting out of hand stop antagonizing the Captain." This man had short brown hair and piercing blue eyes.
"You would agree with your girlfriend."
"He's not my boyfriend-"
"She's not my girlfriend!"
A large man with long blonde hair laughed at them all.
"So petty and tiny!"
Bruce turns around and looks at me apologetically.
"This is what happens when Fury leaves the room."
I nod and try to maintain a professional look but I was on the verge of death trying to keep the laughter in.
Bruce faced them again and tried to get their attention.
"Guys, hey guys can we- SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Everyone stopped and had a deer in the headlight face, for a second Bruce looked like a scary person but then he went back to normal.
He clears his throat.
"Sabrina Connors has arrived, Sabrina welcome to the Avengers."
