I had to admit that I was nervous. That seemed to be a common emotion since moving here. I constantly felt on edge and it was a feeling I couldn't shake. There was a dull pounding in my head and it felt like as I got closer the pounding got louder. I screamed in my head for it to stop.

"Banner!"

I looked up in shock. I hadn't realised that I had stopped in the middle of the hallway as I was caught up in my inner yelling match with myself. Abigail was standing ten paces ahead of me. She gave me a puzzled look as she stared at me. She looked like she was trying to assess the issue. She walked back toward me. "Com'on we have to go. We are already late!"

She stared at me and noted the uneasy look in my eyes. Her brows knitted themselves together with empathy. "Isaac what's going on? What's the matter?"

I shook my head to shake the thoughts away. "Nothing, lets go." She followed after me reluctantly but didn't say anything else about it.

Everyone was already situated in the common area before Abigail and I had arrived. The others were standing before Director Fury in a line with the utmost stiffness. Abigail and I filed in line as they all stared at us.

"Good afternoon. Today we are going to do things a little differently than usual." Three agents came in through a door. "You will all be issued SHEILD communication devices. These devices will be used to communicate with shield staff and amongst one another." The agents began passing the devices out. When I received mine an opportunity presented itself and an idiotic grin spread across my face. I began to fiddle with it in my hands as I tried to figure out how I was going to use it to contact my dad.

Fury continued," As you all are aware. You are all descendants of legends. Your parents are some of of the greatest individuals that have ever existed, but unfortunately their job went undone. We are reopening the Avengers Initiative program. And you all are our new candidates."

My smile quickly turned into a frown. I thought in my head,"We are forced to be put in the program against our will?"

"Excuse me?" Fury spoke with authority towards me. Everyone had their eyes on me. Apparently I hadn't said that in my head at all. I was a little angry and it seemed as though the anger had come from nowhere.

I retracted into myself with an angry frown on my face. But a newfound confidence came from the anger I felt. I snapped with an attitude ,"This isn't fair!" My brows deepened and the pounding in my skull returned.

Fury quickly noted the anger in my voice and face. The guards that stood near Fury began to visibly sweat, their demeanours faltered and their hands hovered over their holsters. Fury did not stand down, actually he took a step towards me. My anger had not dissipated it actually seemed to become more intense. It was very uncharacteristic of me to behave this way but then again I had never been put into such a position.

His brown eyes stared into my face intimidatingly. He spoke,"I believe you should check your temper Mr. Banner before things get messier than they have to."

My anger seemed to fade after he said that but not because he said it, it was because of the looks I received from my peers after he said it. Their faces looked almost fearful. The looks on their faces frightened me.

I looked back at Fury and he had this smug grin on his face. I stepped away from him with my arms wrapped around myself wishing my superpower was to turn invisible. He stepped back to where he was standing before.

My mind drifted from what he was saying after that and I continually questioned my sanity and asked myself what was wrong with me. I didn't understand what happened or where the sudden anger came from.

The group began to dissipate. I had missed the entire discussion but I chose to just go back to my room rather then get a recap of what I missed. I heard someone call my name but I pretended not to hear it.

I closed my door behind me as I flopped facedown on the bed. I was so outdone and unsure of what to do. A knock on my door sounded seconds after. "Isaac!"

I moaned and got up with my eyebrows knitted together. "Whaaa-?" I complained and groaned as I opened the door. The word caught in my throat as I saw 6 people standing at my door when I only expected Abigail. She was standing in the front with a concerned look. They all then barged into my room at once. I complained and protested but it went unnoticed. Abigail sat on my bed as they all stared at me and faced me. It made me nervous.

I asked,"what?" As I waited for someone to say something.

"We need to talk." Bridget said with her arms folded over her chest. Her demeanour was strong but caring. " Since you have moved in you haven't really communicated much. You remain stand off-ish and to yourself. We need to establish some sort idea of who you are and as of late your emotions and behaviour have been sort of erratic." Her face looked soft but firm like a caring teacher or principal.

I stuttered as I ran my fingers through my curly hair,"I uh..I uh d-don't know what c-came over me back there..s-sorry." Odette's eyes narrowed slightly. She obviously didn't trust me. "I just am a little stressed out...I just got kidnapped from my home and all. No biggie." The sarcasm was thick in my voice.

Bridget began to frown now. Her caring demeanour was gone,"Look Banner, we have all experienced the same thing you have, but I am not sure how you expect us to trust you and you don't trust us. We need to stick together. We need to be a team more than enemies. You need to trust us. We are all each of us have right now and we all need to be on the same page. Is that clear?" Her voice was hard and was dripping with the authority of a leader.

I looked at Abigail and she smiled and nodded as if she was saying everything will be ok. I said as I stared at the ground and said quietly,"Okay."

My eyes looked around the room noting the looks on the other's faces. Fletcher had a smug look on his face as he looked at me intimidatingly. Agatha and Atlas shared the same worried expression as they looked at me and Oddette continued her stare of disgust and distrust towards me.

Bridget said,"Alright, now that we have established that. We can go on from here. I believe Fury is going to start training us soon-"

I looked up in worry."Training?!"

Bridget looked at me in worry,"Banner you have to have your mind together if there's any hope of us going home."

I looked at Bridget with pity as I pieced every piece of the puzzle together. I laughed sadly,"Don't you get it Bridget. Fury isn't planning on letting us go! Fury is weaponising us. He said it. He's rebuilding the Avengers."

Agatha gasped in fear and anger. "Lies! Fury would not lie to us! You mustn't know what you speak of!" Her thick accent was prevalent in her emotional tone.

I asked rudely,"Have you developed some sort of Stock-Holme syndrome? Don't you see what he's doing? We aren't going anywhere, at least not for a very long time. If you all want to get out of this a plan needs to be developed so we can all get back to our families and alert the proper authorities of what's going on here."

"Alright smart guy. Make a plan then." Fletcher scoffed from the back of the crowd. My eyes widened in shock and I laughed nervously as I shook my head and hands,"Haha no no no. I-I... I d-didn't mean me obviously." I stammered nervously.

Fletcher came forward towards me and I noticed a faded scar under his right eye that I hadn't noticed before. He gritted his teeth as he spoke,"Then don't talk about something you know NOTHING about."

He jabbed his finger in my chest as he muttered my nickname. He backed away and out of the room. Everyone gave me that "you're an asshole" look. Everyone filed out of my room leaving Abigail who was still on my bed staring at me. I flopped down on my bed and rubbed my hands on my face.

My voice muffled through my hands, " I feel like such an ass." I felt hands on my wrists and my hands were guided down from my face. Abigail stared me in my face with a worried look,"Isaac I'm really concerned. I don't want you to do something stupid and I can see that you and Fury know a lot more than you're letting on."

My eyebrows furrowed,"Abigail,...I'm so afraid."

She put her hand on my face and stared into my eyes. "Isaac we are all scared. We are all afraid of what is going to happen to us."

I grabbed her hand and slid it away from my cheek. "You don't understand. Im afraid of myself, Abigail. I'm afraid of what I may do. I'm afraid of hurting you and anyone else on this ship!"

Abigail looked confused,"what are you talking about?"

I looked down at my hands and trembled as I tried to get a hold on my emotions."It has been getting hard and harder for me to control my emotions as each day pays. I'm constantly on edge...and there's something..." I stopped in fear of what she would think.

She gave me an intense face to let me know she was listening. She leaned in and grabbed my hand. "Tell me Isaac."

My mouth trembled and my voice shook,"I know this is going to sound absolutely insane... But I -...there's something inside me that's always there... in the back of my mind. I'm so afraid of what will happen if I give into my emotions. You have to believe me Abigail. I don't know what to do."

She hugged my sympathetically. She said,"I believe you...I saw something in your eyes earlier."

She stopped hugging me and I asked,"What do you mean?"

"I saw something in your eyes. Like they were glowing...green. I thought I was just seeing things. It was like you were a different person."

I looked down. "I need to talk to my dad...He would know what to do."

She asked with concern,"He didn't tell you anything?"

I lifted my wrist to show her my watch," He gave me this watch and told me to never let my heart beat get past 200. And I suppose something really bad happens if it does."

Abigail said,"Well I'll help you figure all this out I promise."
