7. Chapter 7

The Avengers sat around the table in the Assembly Hall, Jan sitting cross-legged on top of it with her head leaned against her hand.

All of the Avengers had troubled pasts, most superheroes did, it was their difficult history that usually spurred a person to become a hero but Janet had considered herself to have one of the less troubled pasts. Before a few years ago Jan had been living a life of partying and living it up as a socialite, her father's death had been the worst thing to ever happen in her life and now it was coming back to haunt her. The creature that had murdered her father was now coming back to kill her too and apparently Hank too. Tony had tried to contact Hank to warn him that he might be attacked, but of course he hadn't responded to any attempt of communication.

"So how exactly do you know this guy?" Clint asked with an eyebrow raised.

Jan wasn't too keen on recounting the story of her father's death but she knew she would have to. With a sigh she began the story of how her father had accidentally created a dimensional door through which the alien had come and how the alien had killed her father, spurring her to become the Wasp and get her revenge.

"Wow, I'm sorry Jan I didn't know." Tony said apologetically.

"It's fine, I just thought he was locked up in prison forever." Jan said, looking down at her hands.

"No one ever seems to stay in prison anymore." Clint said.

"How much do you know about this alien?" T'Challa asked.

"Hardly anything, we just took him out and sent him to prison, I didn't really want anything to do with him after that." Jan said honestly.

"But apparently he can evolve himself." She stated.

"He's not the first alien we've dealt with, but he's definitely not anything we've seen before and he's not in the SHIELD database." Tony told them.

"He's tough, but he can be hit. He seemed to be more affected by physical attacks rather than weapons." Steve pointed out.

Tony got to his feet. "I'll try to track him, but the energy signatures he gives off are all over the place, not easy to get a read on. Until then we need to stay on our toes, like he said, I don't think we've seen the last of him."
