"No World-Conquering Villain Would be Caught Dead Wearing Something Like That."
Coulson did manage to get the Girl out of the crater with the crane. I was right when I thought that she is in the same condition as I last saw her. Not only is she not harmed because I can't see one scratch on her, but she also isn't even dirty. Her clothes are as pristine as when she first appeared through the portal.
Coulson couldn't believe his eyes. "Sir. Did this girl, do all of this?" he asked pointing at the crater.
"If by all of this you mean surviving an explosion, being buried under a building, disintegrating everything around her, and creating a hole of about forty feet deep on the ground while being in that state of unconsciousness. Then the answer is yes. Coulson. She did."
"Was the girl like this when she came through the portal? Sir."
"Yes. I would like to know how she became like this, thought. Loki said something about a protector that tends to follows her anywhere she goes. Makes me think that this condition of hers is a recent development. Based on the fact that he was looking at me and smiling when he was saying it, I think that whoever that protector of hers is, he is going to be looking for her and is not going to be happy if he finds her like this."
"A protector? Sir."
"Loki wasn't very talkative with information about her. All I know is that she came floating down from the ceiling after the left over accumulated energy of the first portal opened another one. Loki knew her but was surprised by her appearance. He tried to touch her with that spear of his to try to do the same mind control thing he did to Barton and Selvig. Also, he kept calling her the living gem and said that she is the treasure of the nine realms, which means that whoever she is, she is someone very important."
"Ooh. I see. What are we going to do with her? Sir."
"I want her transported to the Helicarrier. I want her in the most secure room aboard the Hellicarrier you can get. Not that I think that anything we have can contain her if she wakes up. I still want her close by in case she wakes. Maybe, we can convince her that we are the good guys, and she may decide to help us capture Loki." I said to Coulson.
"I miss the days when the strangest thing we had was a teenager trying to hack into the Pentagon. Now we have a scientist transforming into a green rage monster, an eccentric billionaire flying inside a metal suit, a World War II hero who was discovered alive after seventy years of being frozen, a god who fell from the sky, and a sleeping Japanese doll looking girl falling from a portal. Things are becoming too complicated." Coulson said.
"You didn't mention the crazy god appearing through a portal that wants to enslave humanity. Japanese doll?" I said to him.
"That's because I didn't want to include him in the list of the good guys. That kimono is clearly Japanese. Sir"
"So you think that she is one of the good ones." "I do."
"Hopefully you are not wrong about that."
"Hopefully. Sir."
I turned towards Deputy Hill who is next to Coulson and hasn't said a word this whole time. "Do you also think that she isn't hostile?" I asked her.
"I believe that Coulson is right in his assessment of her. Sir. Besides, no world-conquering villain would be caught dead wearing something like that. I think that she is a royalty from some elf world. She even has the crown."
"What crown?" I ask.
"That crown. Sir." She said pointing at a headpiece on top of her head. "I wouldn't be surprised if she turns out to be a princess from one of those worlds similar to Asgard. Earth seems to be the preferred destination for exiled royalty from other worlds to land on these days. It may be related to the reason why she is unconscious."
I examined the Girl more carefully. Now that I am paying more attention, what I thought was a hairpiece before looks more like a small crown. I don't know how I didn't notice that before. "Just what we need. Some royal from another planet that comes to cause trouble in ours. I remember the cleaning up that we had to do after Thor's incident. I'm not looking forward to explaining all of this to the counsel. On second thought, I'm not going to mention her to the counsel. Loki is going to be bad enough. I don't need to be dealing with them panicking over what happened here with her." I said.
"Sir. What are going to do about the crater?" Asked Coulson.
"Send a crew up here to cover it up, and make sure that they don't mention it to anyone," I answered.
"Ok. Sir." He said.
"Hill. I also don't want anyone to have access to the room she is going to be in. For now and until we have enough information about her, the three of us are the only ones that are going to know about her."
"Roger that. Sir." She answered me.
"I hope that the purpose this girl is burden with for being here is not as glorious as Loki's," I said.
"How is that, Sir?" Coulson asked.
"Turns out that the "glorious" purpose Loki of Asgard is burdened with is to enslave humanity. Hopefully, the purpose of this girl is not as "glorious" as enslaving humanity and something along the lines of helpful. I don't want to deal with two powerful homicidal aliens bent on world-conquer. One is more than enough, particularly with the kind of power that the Girl seen to have. If she can do all of this while unconscious, I don't want to imagine what she can do when she is awake. Coulson. When you transport her to the Hellicarrier and into the room, do not to get in contact with that shimmering energy barrier of hers. If she can do what she did to more than a hundred feet of metal and concrete, I don't want to imagine what she would do to a human."
"Yes. Sir." Coulson answered.
"Hill. I need you to go arrange for the Girl's transportation, and give instructions to the rescue crew while we wait for her transportation." Then, I remembered about the shape-shifting metal doll, and I know that I'm about to do something that is probably going to get us all killed.
Author's Notes:
I want to thank you all for the amazing reception this story has received so far. Thanks for your support. I'm really happy that you seem to like the direction I have taken to starting this story. By now everyone that has visited my profile page knows that this is an introduction story to a crossover series between Inuyasha and the Avengers movies I'm planning on writing. The setting of the series is in the Marvel Universe with the characters and elements taken from Inuyasha.
By now, most of you who have watched Inuyasha have already figure out who the "Girl" is. I have been leaving clues on most chapters that lead to her identity, what she is, and how she fits into the Marvel Universe. Like for example the way that she was introduced into the story, the description of her powers, and what Loki calls her. Ironically, is Fury who has no ideas as to who she is who gave the biggest clue as to what she is and how she is connected to the Marvel universe. In this series, the events of Inuyasha happened much further back into the past instead of 500 years in the past, so a lot more things happened with Inuyasha characters that are going to be revealed as the story progresses. A lot of those things happened after the events of Inuyasha, and they are the reason why the "Girl" is such an important and well-known character among the Asgardians and the other realms.
As for the "little doll," as Fury calls her, she is an original character I created inspired by the Terminator and Transformers movies. I was more than a half way into finishing the story when the idea for her hit me, and I just had to include her. I ended up having to write a lot of extra chapters and rewriting the rest of the story to include her into the plot. When I first created her, she didn't play too much of a role, but she started to integrate herself more into the story the more I wrote. She integrated herself into the story in such a way that she became an important part of the story's plot.
This is one of those time when you are writing a story and then you know that is taking a life of its own when the characters you are writing are all taking over and developing in ways you didn't plan at the beginning. The doll has a name which will be revealed later on. I hope you enjoy reading about the "little doll" and learning about her and her "owner" as much as I enjoy writing her.
I know that some of you are wondering why I chose to write the story in first person point of view and there is a reason for it, and it plays a part in the series. I decided to start the story with Fury's point of view because of the way I wanted to start the story and how I introduced the characters. Plus, I wanted to do something different from other stories and Fury is one of those characters that are rarely used, and who has a big influence on the Avengers. He is going to be narrating for a little while, but the story isn't about him, so the main characters are going to take over later. Consider Fury as the person who is doing an introduction to the main characters.
