Anna breathed a sign of relief as her feel touched down on the cool metal of the Helcarrier and Emma smiled , clearly echoing her was thanking the pilot , and Steve and Bruce were unloading the luggages onto the ground while fast winds few around them.
"Cold.." , Clint said as Natasha snorted."I'm Russian.." , she simply said as Thor was laughing with Steve and Loki was back to his normal state - scowling at everyone and everything.
"Welcome.." , Nick Fury said as he stepped behind them and Anna managed a smile , "Good to be back , Sir.." , she said and They stepped into the headquarters , where the agents were busy as ever."Welcome back.." , Colson said as he smiled and looked at Maria who was still covered in a little blue paint from Vegas.
"Who came out of Avatar?" , Emma grinned and Tony and Anna laughed , while Steve and Bruce cocked their eyebrows and Loki muttered something about 'Stupid Mortals'.."I'd like you to meet someone.." , he said as they turned to a sofa and Anna stopped breathing.
Two couples were on the sofa , sitting on the edges. A man and a woman , both dressed in casual clothes were sitting , and reading a magazine , while the man had striking blue eyes , his face was in a frown , and jet black hair was styled neatly , and the woman was petite and had long blonde hair which flowed to her waist and she looked around with upmost curiosity.
The second couple was dressed in white lab coats , and looked grumpy , as if they'd been removed from their lab , and the woman had short brown hair with black glasses and a broad face , and the man too , had red framed glasses and he was reading Science Weekly."Let me.." , Fury started before Anna and Emma echoed as one.
"Mom? Dad?" , and the parents turned to see their children , the lab couple inspected Anna like a lab rat and the woman smiled joyously while the man just sat there , tugging on his leather jacket.
Then as one they said, "What the FUCK are you doing here?!"
Anna rubbed her forehead , and groaned mournfully , "Question - What the Heck?!" , Emma said as the woman smiled , "How are you , darling?" , and Anna saw Emma's eyes flash with emotion before she turned her eyes cold , "Last time I checked , you didn't care.."
Meanwhile , the Avengers were scratching their heads while the couples and the daughters had a staring match.
"Parent issues.." , Tony said and shrugged before Anna shot him a death glare and she turned back to the scientists.
"Hello , Daughter" , the woman scientist said and Anna grimaced and Bruce looked at her , while the man in the leather jacket stood up , "Is this gonna take long? I wanna go back to the destroyed house.." , he said and Anna looked at Fury who nodded.
"Loki decided to attack your parents , when he saw you had no contact with them , he decided to attack you instead.." , he explained and Anna smiled.
"For once , he did the right thing.," , and the man scientist frowned. "Anastasia Anderson , Test Subject 247 , silence" , he commanded and Anna frowned.
"I am not your test subject.." , she scowled and then the man and woman scientist noticed Bruce who had come and wrapped a hand on Anna's waist.
"Banner.." , the woman scientist breathed and took out a syringe , "I need a blood sample.." , and Anna stood in front of him , "No.." , she let out a shrill word and Bruce frowned so did Tony.
"Explanation time , peeps. Test Subject? Blood sample?" , Tony said quizzically and Anna muttered , "Doesn't matter.." , and Emma suddenly whipped her head as to where she , Steve and their parents were arguing. Thor was sitting with Clint and Natasha as they watched the family drama unfold.
"Fuck it , IT MATTERS!" , she yelled and Anna winced."They wanted to replicate Bruce's Hulk serum , so the perfect test subject? Their daughter , of course! They couldn't replicate it , but they replicated the entire cell system and the ability to change shape.." , Emma finished her speech with a red face and The woman scientist laughed.
"Of course , she was JUST a test subject , we didn't even replicate the serum. So she's a failure" , and Anna looked at Bruce who was silently taking it in and then..the beeps.
"HE's HULKING OUT!" , Tony yelled before he put on his suit."Oh No.." , Steve muttered while the scientists looked on in was hysterically crying while Bruce roared , and she stood in front of a green machine of mass barely had time for his faceplate to snap down before the Hulk began charging towards where Anna's parent's stood.
Their previous interest had now been replaced by fear, as they turned on their heels and attempted to run away from the thing they had released.
"Come on, buddy, you gotta calm down. It's okay" Tony begged, blasting himself to between where the Hulk and Anna's parent's now stood. "Yeah, they're absolute and utter dickheads, but Anna's okay. You're okay. And we won't let them hurt her," Tony asserted, his faceplate twisting so he was now looking directly at Anna's now shit-scared parents.
Tony raised his hand for good measure, the glowing repulsor directed straight at them. With that, the Hulk gradually began to shrink, until only a half-clothed and still seething Bruce was left. Tony had never seen the man look so angry. Well, apart from when he was a giant green rage monster.
"I have been chased around the world because I was considered an 'experiment'. I will not let you do the same to Anna" He said wearily, wrapping a firm, protective arm around her waist. Her parents backed away slightly, fearful of another 'visit' from the Hulk.
"It's probably time you go, Mr and Mrs Anderson." Fury nodded, as two SHIELD agents walk to their side. "You can't take our daughter," Anna's mother spat. "She is OUR doing, our experiment" Her father finished. Unmistakeable tears continued rolling down Anna's cheeks.
"She is OUR Agent now, Mr and Mrs Anderson. And if she chooses to stay with us - God knows that's no surprise - Then I will see to it that you are personally dragged to the most remote corner of the globe if you try to take her" Fury said. He was now getting royally pissed.
If looks could kill, the glare from his good eye would have murdered Anna's parents 10 minutes ago. "Goodbye." Fury nodded, and the agent's escorted the Scientists out. "You will be going to a SHIELD safehouse. And you will have nothing to do with Anna unless she so requests it" Anna could not have been more grateful to hear those words, as she cried silently into Bruce's shoulder. The group now looked back at where Emma, Steve and her parent's were standing.
"Well, what's your issue then? God knows you can't be a superhero without a few parent problems" Tony rolled his eyes, gesturing to his suit. "Emma, we need to tell you something. The reason why you have these..." Emma's mum hesitated, shuddering, "Powers."
"What, let me guess. Experiment gone wrong. Bite from a radioactive cheetah? Cause that sort of thing seemed to work for Parker" Emma rolled her eyes, as Steve clung onto her. "Emma..." Her father paused, taking in a deep breath. "You're not really our daughter , sweetie".
Emma stood gaping at her parents for a while before she coughed lightly.
"I knew it.." , she said softly and Steve rubbed her shoulder."Em?" , Anna asked despite her voice that was thick from smiled encouragingly before turning to yet parents.
"Who...Who's my real father?" , she asked and the scared woman turned to her husband , who grunted.
"Don't ask me , Molly.. You were the whore.." , he shrugged and Emma's eyes flared murderously and the woman winced."I'm sorry.. You father's..Barry Allen.." , and the earth stood still before Tony piped up.
"Who's he?" , and Anna swallowed
"The .. Flash.." , she said trembling and Emma's eyes widened.
