Sorry for the wait! I've been pretty busy... Anyways you get a little more info in this chapter. I'm sorry if it is awful and yes I know the science and everything probably doesn't make sense but I kinda like this idea :)


Natasha stood still watching the girl as she exited the bathroom. Although she did not care to admit it, the girl almost looked like a S.H.I.E.L.D agent, actually, she almost looked like her. He slender body easily fitted into the size of the suit she wore and her long, straight auburn hair fell down by her shoulders, framing her newly cleansed face- pale, but rather pretty and innocent. Except, like her, she wasn't innocent, she was dangerous and needed to be monitored.

"Director Fury has invited you to an Avengers meeting." Natasha announced.

"Could I get something to eat first?" Ebony asked hopefully.

"Yes. I have arranged someone to bring you up some food when we're there."

Reluctantly, Ebony followed the woman from the room and back through the complex of the ship. Despite the fast pace, she managed to steal a glance through a passing window, it was raining slightly but the sun was still in the sky however she hadn't a clue of the time, she hadn't for the past two days.


They arrived at the conference room to see the Avengers settled around the table, squabbling about something or other. As they entered, the din faded and Ebony felt all eyes on her.

"Welcome Agent. I assume everything went okay?" A man dressed in black with an eye-patch asked in a voice that chilled her blood.

"No sir, no problems," Natasha answered, sitting down in an empty chair next to Clint

The man at the head of the table looked at her next, with a curious but intimidating glare, "And you are Ebony correct. I'm Colonel Fury."

She opened her mouth to reply but her voice had refused so instead, she nodded hesitantly.

"Take a seat."

The only spare seat she saw was one between agent Romanoff and a man she had never met before. He had smart blond hair swept back off his face and his overall build was impressive, big muscles bulging from his shirt and powerful fists clenched on the table. However, he smiled at her and that was something she appreciated, "Hi, I'm Steve Rodgers, nice to meet you."

"Hello, I'm Ebony," She replied quietly.

A second man, also blond and strong looking called over to her. He was wearing a strange amour and clutched a large hammer in his fists. "I am Thor of Asguard, God of Thunder." She thought his loud voice and strong words scary at first but like Steve, he smiled at her, making this whole situation easier. She already knew the rest of the Avengers and some of their backgrounds thanks to Clint.

As she took her seat, Tony spoke up, "So what exactly are we doing here?" He sounded irritable and was not in the mood for anything stupid.

Fury cleared his throat, "To discuss our friend here." At this, the Avengers lifted their heads to stare at their 'boss' and Ebony shifted uncomfortably; she knew where this was going. "As you may know, she possesses certain qualities we must contain. Banner has run some tests on her and can identify how these so-called powers operate."

"It's strange how they seem to work, something I have never paid much attention to. Her brain cells are more concentrated and each one of them releases a greater number of brain waves compared to any human I have seen. I'm not fully trained in this field when it comes to the Biological side however I do know that wave frequency's like this have caused problems in humans, usually paralyzing them or disabling them because their body cannot control or handle the extra exposure to these waves. These people are usually extremely light sleepers because of the constant state of awareness and when they do sleep, dreams are certain to occur because the brain finds it's self awake and active." The whole room hung on Bruce's explanation and when no one raised their hand to ask a question, he continued.

"But Ebony's body deals with these waves in a different way, her brain has found a solution to the excessive waves. It has forced the brain waves to basically stop around her body using the extra brain cells, and this has created a sort of invisible force around her skin and also internally, protecting her organs."

"So she's creating a force field using brain waves? Impossible…" Natasha muttered.

"I know it sounds impossible but hey, I can turn into a 'giant green rage monster' to quote Tony here and right at this table we have a demi god who likes pop tarts." Tony chuckled at this.

"But there must be a reason to why they can be controlled like this. No way it is possible to stop brainwaves, you can't just stop them from travelling." Clint said, confused.

"No you can't," Bruce said, "But try and think of it like sunblock. It only absorbs or reflects the harmful rays of the sun so in some sense, the energy still lives. I think this field is like that in terms of protection."

"So how does she create the forces that she can?" Steve asked simply.

Bruce hesitated, "This is a trickier subject. The waves in the field build up over time and actually mount faster when the subject is thinking more or dreaming." This caught Ebony's attention. "The waves need to be filtered somehow so her brain sends certain waves, or thoughts, out to mentally control these rays. I think if she tried, she could possibly bend these forces and use them as a powerful attack."

"I can bend the lightning," Thor interrupted, simply but truthfully.

Bruce smiled and nodded, "Yes Thor, it's similar to that."

"But this power, if it is made out of brainwaves and frequencies, then how come it could support a full grown man in an Iron Man suit?" Tony asked smiling slightly; he found this discussion rather amusing.

Steve laughed, "I wouldn't call you… fully grown."

Bruce let out a laugh as Tony kicked Steve from under the table. Instead of hurting him, Tony grabbed his foot; he forgot Steve was as hard as nails… "I don't know Tony- it's something we'll have to figure out. It's along the lines of strength. The more intense the waves, the stronger they are."

"But…" Clint started to say something but was cut off as the door to the room slid open and a man carrying a tray appeared.

"Ah thank you," Natasha said, accepting the tray and handing it to Ebony. Ebony admired the food that sat in front of her, she was too hungry to even care what it was but she picked up a shiny apple that sat on the edge on the metal and bit into it, smiling at the flavour.

The Avengers smiled too.


Sorry for the cheesy ending and stuff. I'm pretty stressed out but should be back to normal soon! Thanks again for reading :)
