(Series Summary: In an alternate universe, HYDRA has done a lot of personal damage to many of the heroes of Marvel. They truly are the victims of horrible trauma. They were taken as HYDRA agents by force, used as lab rats, abused, damaged, brainwashed, mind controlled, and HURT in ways that can't truly ever be fixed. Then they escaped, or were rescued, and they banded together to form a team. The Avengers are a group of ex child HYDRA agents who's mission is to one day destroy HYDRA for good. Their mission is not easy, and the life they live does not help lightning the load. Living with poverty, constantly being bullied, food insecurity, all different kinds of psychological conditions including PTSD, various disabilities and physical illnesses, and almost no family members to turn while working for cash in any way they can and dumpster diving by day and raiding secret HYDRA bases by night is hard enough, especially since they live together without ANY true adults. Adding in that none of the Avengers are 18 yet (at least in Earth years) just makes it harder. They've really only kept their hope Alive because they have each other for support, occasionally along with their mysterious advocate Mr. Coulson and the generosity of neighbors and strangers. However, the Avengers are survivors. They refuse to give up on the hope that HYDRA won't steal the futures they dream of, so they keep fighting any way they can.
Then one spring they start getting new teammates, and they gain more once summer rolls around. They definitely never imagined that they would receive allies from space! To think that everything changed the day the Avengers rescued a couple of new members during a HYDRA base raid, including a newly blinded boy who says his name is Prince Thor Odinson of Asgard. Then over a month later they rescue (and successfully recruit) Thor's brother Prince Loki Odinson, who is QUITE shocked to find out that Thor is not only blind, but is in fact ALIVE, especially considering that Thor was thought to be dead for over two years when his elder brother disappeared without a trace after his banishment ended! Thor meanwhile is shocked to learn that HYDRA had been holding Loki captive almost as long as they had held Thor, and that HYDRA had left Loki with one less leg than he had the last time he had seen him. Two weeks after Loki joins the Avengers, they rescue and recruit even MORE kids and expand the avengers even further! All of these new allies were welcome additions to the Avengers team, but when they realized that getting the Odinson brothers back to Asgard could lead to an interplanetary alliance? Well, that opened up a whole ton of new possibilities for the Avengers that could step up their small scale rebellion against HYDRA up big time! One thing is certain though, these kids are the best chance the world has of beating HYDRA once and for all.
This story will EVENTUALLY focus heavily on Thor and Loki at times so if you like the Brodinsons you're in the right place! You've just got be patient! Warning: In this story I take some creative liberties with science. This story also features characters who have debilitating permanent injuries such as characters with nerve damage, blindness, injury related deafness, or who are amputees, as well as characters with in born conditions like ADHD or learning disabilities. I mean no offense if I portray something incorrectly or something. All of the Avengers will have PTSD in this story. This is not a story for young children due to sensitive topics.)

Chapter 7
—
The next day began with the wake up bell blaring throughout the building. The newbie Avengers that were rescued the previous night were all startled and confused of course, and a flurry of activity lead to all of them finding the more experienced Avengers in the common room helping Steve cook pancakes. The newbies got the first few spots in line for food. Loki got stuck helping with dishes once breakfast was over, but he didn't complain because he was feeling empathetic towards the newbies today. He knew how hard today was going to be. After that the new Avengers were given the whole spiel about the bathroom rules, were shown their drawers (Tony had fixed the new set because he woke up way too early and couldn't go back to sleep again), and were all given the green light to start getting ready for the day. Peter agreed to let Harley share his shampoo. The girls encountered having to wait in line for their showers for the first time since they always had lower numbers than the boys and three showers to themselves (Back in the early days it was just Pepper and Natasha as the only lady Avengers. They had done the shower arrangements while anticipating the addition of more female members in the future of the Avengers. Clearly they had been right since Wanda, and then Darcy and Jane, had shown up.) so they had to learn how to compromise on shower time and order pretty quickly that day. Eventually though, everyone was ready and headed to the mini bus so they could go to the facility. Mr. Coulson and May Parker greeted them at the inside door. Peter grabbed Harley's hand and immediately pulled him towards his Aunt May.
"Aunt May this is Harley! He's awesome! Thank you for helping him!" May smiled.
"It's no problem Peter. I couldn't just leave a kid like Harley to be shuffled around by the foster care system. After all when you called me last night I just knew you two would get along great! Hello Harley, I'm May Parker. I'm sorry about everything that happened to you because of HYDRA, but now you have another chance at having a family. I've been here awhile arranging the documentation that would allow you to legally be my ward, but just like Peter, I think you'll be happy living with the Avengers if that's what you want." Harley smiled.
"Th-Thank you m-ma'am! It's a p-pleasure!" May then introduced herself to the other new Avengers. Stephen was watching from the sidelines when he suddenly seemed to... sense something At that moment, something red seemingly fell out of the sky and landed right on top of Stephen's shoulders. Stephen yelped for a moment before a huge smile came over his face as he realized what was happening.
"CLOAK! YOU CAME BACK!" The red thing, apparently a cloak, frantically wrapped itself around Stephen's whole body as if in a frantic worried search of injuries before finally settling down on Stephen's shoulders. Stephen popped the collar so it was turned upwards, sort of like how you would imagine Dracula to dress in an old horror movie. Stephen pulled the cloak tightly around him in his own version of a hug. The others were all confused, especially Thor who couldn't see anything that was happening, so Stephen responded quickly.
"Oh right, I need to explain this. Ok so this is my magical, semi-sentient cloak of levitation. The cloak choose me to be it's keeper of sorts not too long ago. HYDRA separated us recently for experimentation. I thought it was lost forever! I'm... I'm really glad to have it back." The cloak once again hugged itself around Stephen and flicked one of it's corners almost as though to say it agreed with him. Everyone decided to just accept the cloak as it was. Mr. Coulson finally spoke.
"Well it seems like you Avengers kids have gotten pretty large! I think you almost have enough members to start making bigger plans against HYDRA! Personally I wish none of you had ever been hurt by HYDRA in the first place, but at least you have each other to lean on when things get hard. My name is Phil Coulson. I'm the Avengers's legal advocate, and I'm gonna walk you through the evaluations you guys will be doing with the doctors and other professionals today. We can go as slow as you need. We're here to help you. You kids ready?" Harley, Stephen, Eddie with Venom, Anne, Darcy, and Jane all looked at Coulson with determination clear in their expressions. They went through the doors together, grabbing each other by the hand as they walked on.

File 0, Version 4.0
Group Name: The Avengers
Original Avengers Members: Dr. Bruce Banner, Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton, Steve Rodgers, James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, Sam Wilson, James "Rhodey" Rhodes, Virginia "Pepper" Potts, and Anthony Howard "Tony" Stark.
Second Wave Avengers Members (Members that were added later): Thor Odinson, Vision Jarvis, Wanda Maximoff, Peter Parker, Loki Odinson, Harley Keener, Edward "Eddie" Charles Allan Brock / Venom Symbiote, Anne Weying, Darcy Lewis, Jane Foster, and Dr. Stephen Strange.
Team Leader: Steve Rodgers
Head Quarters Building Owner: Anthony Howard "Tony" Stark
Notes: HYDRA is a terrorist organization that was originally formed by the Third Reich, otherwise known as the Nazi Empire, who's main goal is to take over and rule the world. All of the members of the Avengers team are former HYDRA agents. HYDRA kidnapped and/or found the original and second wave Avengers members and either forced or manipulated them, if not both, into joining HYDRA's ranks. After serving HYDRA for various amounts of time, the original Avengers decided to break out of the HYDRA together. The Avengers were eventually able to free themselves and come together to form a team. The original members all escaped HYDRA on the same day. The NYPD recognize the Avengers as a gang due to their tendency to perform vigilante actions in pursuit of HYDRA cells hidden throughout New York City and the surrounding bureaus, and because their actions are considered to be unsupervised by any legal guardians. All Avengers members are victims of illegal human experimentation (human being used as a term being used to represent their status as a person even if they are not biologically human by species), mind control, brainwashing, and torture, which lead to all of them developing or exacerbating, if not both, their various types of physical disabilities and mental disabilities and disorders, with a substantial presence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among nearly all, if not ALL, members. The goal of the Avengers is to destroy HYDRA and avenge the fallen who were killed, or who's lives were uprooted or destroyed by HYDRA's actions as well as to rescue (and possibly recruit security wave members into the Avengers) other kids and teens like them who were forced into working for HYDRA.
Avengers Motto: If we can't protect, then we'll avenge.
Subnote: Current records of the torture methods the Avengers were subjected to while under the control of HYDRA can be found attached to the actual medical records instead of the file summary pages.
Subnote 2: Ages in all files are updated and changed at the beginning of each new year.
Subnote 3: Current second wave Avengers were rescued from HYDRA by the other Avengers while on missions. Not all second wave Avengers were rescued at the same time.

File 14, Version 1.0
Name: Harley Keener
Birthdate: August 12th (best assumption based on memory)
Age: 11
Sex: Male
Asset Name: Knickknack
Notes: Harley Keener is currently one of the only two Avengers that did not join as a teenager, due to being younger than 13 upon being rescued from HYDRA (the other being fellow second wave Avenger Peter Parker). Before the Avengers became an official team, Harley previously assisted the original Avengers during their initial escape from HYDRA after the original Avengers broke into his family's garage. At the time, Harley helped the original Avengers to repair their getaway vehicle. Harley grew up in Tennessee with his parents and sister until the day a tornado destroyed their home. Harley was the only survivor found in the debris, but he never made it to the hospital for examination because HYDRA hijacked and stole the ambulance he was riding in, kidnapping him in the process. HYDRA used Harley for experimentation and small scale, unusual weapons engineering. Due to HYDRA experimentation, Harley developed a stutter. Further examination reveals that Harley has a disability known as Dyspraxia (a condition that affects planning and fine motor skills), which may have been either caused or worsened due to HYDRA's experimentation on his nervous system, and may have contributed to the development of his stutter. Even so, Harley is a child genius who can easily build weapons out of unconventional materials. Even though he now lives in with the Avengers full time, Harley is under the legal guardianship of May Parker, who also attains legal guardianship of fellow Avenger Peter Parker. (Officially diagnosed with Dyspraxia, PTSD, and a stutter)
Subnote 1: Harley was rescued from HYDRA along with fellow second wave Avengers Dr. Stephen Strange, Darcy Lewis, Jane Foster, Eddie Brock, Anne Weying, and Venom Symbiote while the Avengers, both original and and second wave Avengers not mentioned in this subnote by name, were on a mission infiltrating a HYDRA base.

File 15, Version 1.0
Subnote 1: This file contains information for two people based on a unique biological situation requiring both persons to equally share one body.
Name 1: Edward "Eddie" Charles Allan Brock
Name 2: Venom Symbiote (Last name given for the sake of legal records)
Birthdate 1: March 19th (best assumption based on memory)
Birthdate 2: Unknown (March 19th assigned for the sake of records)
Age 1: 16
Age 2: Unknown (15 has been assigned for the sake of records.)
Sex 1: Male
Sex 2: Male? (Unknown biology makes this portion hard to determine.)
Asset Name 1 and 2: Venom
Notes: Edward "Eddie" Charles Allan Brock ran away from his abusive home life along with fellow Avenger Anne Weying when he was a child. While living on the streets, Anne and Eddie were kidnapped by HYDRA and put through the usual HYDRA brainwashing, torture, experimentation, and mind control process that forced them to become HYDRA agents. During experimentation, Eddie was introduced to fellow Avenger Venom Symbiote. Venom is a symbiote type being from outer space belonging to an alien species he claims is called the Klyntar. Venom was found by HYDRA agents among the ruble of a spacecraft crash in Malaysia and taken back to HYDRA's labs via canister against his own will, which in the eyes of the evaluators counts as a kidnapping. Venom was also the victim of HYDRA experimentation, mind control, brainwashing, and torture. The Klyntar have a unique biology that requires them to physically bond with a host figure that matches their physical needs on a personal and biological level in order to survive on Earth. This includes Venom. Upon introduction Eddie became Venom's host, leading to Venom and Eddie sharing Eddie's body. Venom and Eddie, along with Anne Weying, worked as HYDRA field agents and assassins, and were the frequent subjects of excessive experimentation. Eddie and Venom broke their mind control after having a fight with Anne, who also broke her mind control. Afterwards Eddie, Anne, and Venom were rescued from HYDRA along with fellow second wave Avengers Dr. Stephen Strange, Harley Keener, Darcy Lewis, and Jane Foster while the Avengers, both original and and second wave Avengers not mentioned by name, were on a mission infiltrating a HYDRA base. Due to HYDRA experimentation, Eddie developed Asthma, which Venom also shares so long as he is joined together with Eddie due to the fact that he is using Eddie's body, including his lungs, in order to survive. Eddie is currently in need of a rescue inhaler to counter asthma attacks. Upon further examination, it was discovered that Eddie also has a learning disability specific to mathematical abilities known as Dyscalculia. (Venom has gained separate legal citizenship status for the sake of records.) (Venom was officially diagnosed with all PTSD and Asthma) (Eddie was officially diagnosed with PTSD, Asthma, and Dyscalculia)
Subnote 2: Eddie, Anne, and Venom were rescued together from HYDRA along with fellow second wave Avengers Dr. Stephen Strange, Harley Keener, Darcy Lewis, and Jane Foster while the Avengers, both original and and second wave Avengers not mentioned in this by name, were on a mission infiltrating a HYDRA base.

File 14, Version 1.0
Name: Anne Weying
Birthdate: February 2nd (best assumption based on memory)
Age: 15
Sex: Female
Asset Name: Poison Control
Notes: Anne Weying ran away from home after the death of her last living family member along with fellow Avenger Eddie Brock when she was a child. While living on the streets, they were kidnapped by HYDRA and put through the usual HYDRA brainwashing, torture, experimentation, and mind control process that forced them to become HYDRA agents. Anne was trained as an assassin. Eddie and Venom broke their mind control after having a fight with Anne, who also broke her mind control. Unbeknownst to Anne, Eddie, or fellow Avenger Venom Symbiote, Anne was trained while brain washed to specifically fight against and eliminate Eddie and Venom should they ever be compromised or get out of control. Thankfully Anne was never ordered to follow through on those orders. Due to experimentation, Anne received (most likely permanent) nerve damage to her right elbow, which is countered with some efficiency by a flexible elbow brace. (Officially diagnosed with PTSD and nerve damage of the elbow)
Subnote: Eddie, Anne, and Venom were rescued together from HYDRA along with fellow second wave Avengers Dr. Stephen Strange, Harley Keener, Darcy Lewis, and Jane Foster while the Avengers, both original and and second wave Avengers not mentioned in this subnote by name, were on a mission infiltrating a HYDRA base.

File 15, Version 1.0
Name: Darcy Lewis
Birthdate: April 1st
Age: 15
Sex: Female
Asset Name: Circuit Breaker
Notes: Darcy Lewis is formerly a boarding school student who along with fellow Avenger Jane Foster encountered fellow Avenger Thor Odinson during his banishment on Earth. Jane and Darcy helped the banished prince to earn the repealing of his banishment by teaching him to be a better person. Two months after HYDRA kidnapped Thor, Jane and Darcy were also kidnapped by HYDRA. HYDRA turned both Jane and Darcy into assassins that were also trained and armed while under mind control to specifically counter the powers of Thor should the Asgardian prince ever become compromised enough for his death to become "necessary" for the HYDRA organizational leaders to order. Thankfully Jane and Darcy were freed from mind control and rescued from HYDRA by the Avengers, including fellow Avengers Loki and Thor Odinson during one of their missions. Darcy is very adept at the use of taser based weapons. Due to HYDRA experimentation, Darcy was given knee replacement surgery and also received nerve damage to that same knee. A knee brace is somewhat effective at countering this condition. Upon further examination of Darcy's physical and mental health history, it was discovered that Darcy had been diagnosed as a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Darcy also has Somnambulism, or sleepwalking disorder, but it is unknown whether or not HYDRA experimentation has a hand in it's cause. (Officially diagnosed with PTSD, Somnambulism, nerve damage of the knee, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - ADHD)
Subnote: Darcy was rescued from HYDRA along with fellow second wave Avengers Dr. Stephen Strange, Harley Keener, Jane Foster, Eddie Brock, Anne Weying, and Venom Symbiote while the Avengers, both original and and second wave Avengers not mentioned in this subnote by name, were on a mission infiltrating a HYDRA base.

File 16, Version 1.0
Name: Jane Foster
Birthdate: June 9th
Age: 16
Sex: Female
Asset Name: Storm Chaser
Notes: Jane Foster is formerly a boarding school student who along with fellow Avenger Darcy Lewis encountered fellow Avenger Thor Odinson during his banishment on Earth. Jane and Darcy helped the banished prince to earn the repealing of his banishment by teaching him to be a better person. Two months after HYDRA kidnapped Thor, Jane and Darcy were also kidnapped by HYDRA. HYDRA turned both Jane and Darcy into assassins that were also specifically trained and armed while under mind control to specifically counter the powers of Thor should the Asgardian prince ever become compromised enough for his death to become necessary for the HYDRA organization to order. Thankfully Jane and Darcy were freed from mind control and rescued from HYDRA by the Avengers, including fellow Avengers Loki and Thor Odinson, during one of their missions. Due to HYDRA experimentation, Jane is now partially blind in one eye. Upon further examination of Jane's physical and mental health history, it was discovered that Jane has a learning disability known as Dysgraphia, which affects her abilities in spelling, grammar, fine motor control, and writing. (Officially diagnosed with PTSD, Dysgraphia, and partial blindness in one eye)
Subnote: Jane was rescued from HYDRA along with fellow second wave Avengers Dr. Stephen Strange, Darcy Lewis, Harley Keener, Eddie Brock, Anne Weying, and Venom Symbiote while the Avengers, both original and and second wave Avengers not mentioned in this subnote by name, were on a mission infiltrating a HYDRA base.

File 17, Version 1.0
Name: Dr. Stephen Strange
Birthdate: November 12th (Day estimated based on memory for the sake of records)
Age: 16
Sex: Male
Asset Name: Mystic Sawbone
Notes: After a car crash killed the rest of his family as a child, Stephen was raised by a group of magic users known as the Masters of the Mystic arts, where he learned how to use incredible natural magic. Stephen utilizes a magical cloak of levitation to fly along with using other magical abilities and powers. This power attracted the attention of HYDRA, who sent agents to locate and kidnap the boy after stalking him all the way back to the sanctum where he lived with his two mentors, who Stephen says were named Wong and The Ancient One. The HYDRA agents who kidnapped Stephen destroyed the sanctum and murdered both Wong and The Ancient One. Stephen was illegally admitted to medical school despite not having a GED or high school diploma, and successfully completed the medical degree requirements. HYDRA often used him to make sure that their victims remained alive while they were implementing their torture methods and also used Stephen as a test subject for new methods. Due to HYDRA experimentation and torture, Stephen received extensive nerve damage in his hands, which often impede his fine motor movements and cause him pain. Stephen is able to counter this somewhat effectively through the use of his magic. Upon further examination of Stephen's physical and mental health history, it was discovered that Stephen has a condition known as bipolar disorder (type 2), which makes Stephen susceptible to hypomaniac episode (which is a less severe form of a manic episode) as well as depressive episodes. Medication for managing this condition is suggested and will be provided to Stephen. (Officially diagnosed with PTSD, Bipolar 2 Disorder, and permanent nerve damage of the hands)
Subnote: Stephen was rescued from HYDRA along with fellow second wave Avengers Harley Keener, Darcy Lewis, Jane Foster, Eddie Brock, Anne Weying, and Venom Symbiote while the Avengers, both original and and second wave Avengers not mentioned in this subnote by name, were on a mission infiltrating a HYDRA base.

File 10, Version 2.0
Name: Peter Parker
Birthdate: August 10th
Age: 10
Sex: Male
Asset Name: Spider-Man
Subnote 1: Peter Parker was rescued from HYDRA along with fellow second wave avengers Wanda Maximoff, Vision Jarvis, and Thor Odinson while the original avengers were in a mission raiding a HYDRA hideout.
Notes: Peter Parker is currently one of the only two Avengers that did not join as a teenager, due to being younger than 13 upon being rescued from HYDRA (the other being fellow second wave Avenger Harley Keener). He was kidnapped from the midst of plane wreckage after a plane crash that he was in with his family killed his parents. Peter was experimentally subjected to the bite of a radioactive spider, which resulted in a genetic mutation that gave him spider based super powers. Peter has super strength, heighten senses, advanced healing, has the ability to stick to, walk on, and climb on almost anything including walls and ceilings, and has a sixth sense that alerts Peter to danger that he calls his Spidey Sense. Peter's heightened senses sometimes cause him to have sensory overload. This has lead to a diagnosis of Sensory Processing Disorder. Peter was primarily tasked with field work, working in a team with fellow Avengers Vision Jarvis and Wanda Maximoff, as well as Pietro Maximoff. Peter is a child genius. Peter's last living family member and technical legal guardian, his Aunt May Parker, revealed that Peter received a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder when he was younger. Peter occasionally has issues with fine motor control. Peter's weapons of choice are synthetically created spider webs, which are projected from "web shooter" devices that he designed himself. Peter Parker and fellow Avenger Harley Keener are both under true legal guardianship of Peter's aunt May Parker, even though Peter and Harley technically live with the Avengers team. (Officially diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, and PTSD)

"And there you all have it. These are the official records for all 21 of you kids, or is it 20 kids and whatever Venom is? Oh well, here are the file copies. I've taken the liberty of giving you kids two new lockboxes for each set of copies. Also here's the flash drive. So Loki and Thor, why did you request copies of all of the Avengers' updated files just for yourselves again?" Loki and Thor, with permission from the other members of the team, had requested a full copy set of the Avengers files both printed and on digital flash drive. However, they hadn't actually explained their reasons to Mr. Coulson before making the request formally. Thor responded in order to provide an explanation.
"We're going to take these files with us to Asgard when we finally discover a way back. Part of the reason is that if HYDRA ever compromises our records, they won't be able to alter or destroy a set of copies that isn't on Earth. The other reason is that we realized that we may need the help of Asgard to defeat HYDRA. Loki and I may need to use these records to convince our mother and father, who are still Asgard's king and queen, of just how dangerous and evil HYDRA truly is. If a force like HYDRA were ever to spread across the nine realms, all of existence could be put in danger from the power they would wield." Loki, arms folded over his chest, responded with a hint of a sigh in his voice.
"The last reason is that letting our parents and friends read the records is the easiest way to answer all of the questions they are bound to have about everything HYDRA has done to us. They... they are bound to be deeply disturbed and upset." Coulson smiled sadly.
"I understand. I know this can't be easy for you, but I'll support you in this decision. You deserve nothing less than that. Alright Avengers, i think we all know that we're done for the day. Just remember to take your medication and refills with you everyone. It's been a long day. You kids go home and rest. You're probably completely exhausted and emotional. Remember you can call if you need more help. I'll but in a good word with STA about all of the school admissions for you new kids. Have a good evening." Everyone thanked Coulson before they headed to the minibus to get back to the compound. Peter and Harley hugged May before she had to leave to go back upstate for her night shift before joining the others.
The drive back to HQ was weirdly quiet for the group. As expected, once they all returned to HQ and settled into the common room, the crying began. The newest members of the team were soon sobbing in order to release all of the emotions that they were now uncontrollably raging within them because their past trauma was brought up. Some of the other Avengers were hugging the new kids to try to comfort them. Thor and Loki wound up helping Bucky cook dinner for everyone that night. They were starting to run low on food. The Avengers would have to focus on that in their dumpster diving excursions tomorrow. Bruce decided to pick a DVD movie from the library that night to watch on TV to try to cheer the other kids up. Thor had previously read the book the movie was based on, so he was able to picture everything in his head as he listened to the script. Before they went to bed that night, Loki and Thor discovered that they had been given a lockbox with TWO sets of keys that were hung off of two thick dog tag style chains with two keys on each chain rather than just one. There were two locks, so you needed both sets of keys to open the box because each lock and key set had a different design. The brothers decided to wear the keys as necklaces to safeguard the records until they were able to present them to their loved ones back in Asgard. One day, their parents would guard the keys. Jane and Darcy fell asleep in the sitting room of the apartment instead of in their new bedroom that night. The Odinson brothers put blankets over the girls and quietly turned out the lights, unwilling to wake them from their slumber.
