Well that could have gone better. After dragging that poor girl onto the helicarrier and getting yelled at by Fury for the last hour about the lack of trust she will have with us after that stunt. She didn't seem to trust us before I knocked her out.

There was thing's videos don't show about a person like their scars and hardships that plaster themselves onto peoples faces, Zaida carries a lot of them. Scars appeared like webs up her arms and there was many signs of fights on her fists and elbows also. Her clothing was another statement of her hard times and another part of my confusion. She wore a black trench coat with no sleeves, a orange tank top, black ripped up used jeans, dirty finger less gloves with combat boots that seem to have been used every day sense production. If she stole money then why did she still dress like this.

I sat next to her bed side to wait until she wakes up then I have to go get Fury. It seems a bit unnecessary to have both her arms cuffed to the side of the bed but after going through her coat and coming out with two knives, a pack of batteries, and pepper spray she was prepared to say the least for any attacks. "Awww my freaking head, who in blazes hit me on the head." Zaida mumbled not opening her eyes yet.

"That would be me" I said as she registered there was another person present. She tied to move her hands into her coat but soon noticed they were restrained. She started panicking, her eyes wide with fear. Then slowly she calmed and looked at me with her orange eyes that resembled fire at the moment. "Well you better start running before I zap you so hard your children will still feel the tingle of power" She snapped. OK its best it seems not to tick her off.

"Look we just want to talk that's all then you can leave" I said half telling the truth, I don't know what Fury wants with her but talking probably involved so half truth right?

"Says the girl who hit me in the head right. Oh let me guess it was self defense" She said in a mocking tone. This girls got fire I'll give her that.

"No you just were being stubborn and you blasted Thor off the roof. Nice job by the way only a few people can claim they have thrown an asguardian off a building" I said noticing a pleased smile slid onto her face.

"Ya he's my second ASS-guardian I have thrown off a roof, it seems to be my thing" she said laughing to herself. A frown slid onto my face, second one? "He's OK though right? I mean he is much nicer than the last one I ran into" She asked.

"Yes he's fine. Who was this second one you met can I ask" I hope its not who I think it is. "It was something like Loogi no, Locus no, Loki! That's what it was not a very nice gent might I add." My stomach dropped when she said this, How did she know Loki. before I could ask any more questions Fury stomped into the room.

"I thought I told you Agent Romanoff to come get me when she wakes up" Fury said not keeping the sharpness out of his voice. "So your the guy that makes the donuts" Zaida said using an old gangster slang for the boss.

"I am Director Nick Fury, I am charge of this helicarrier you are currently on so yes I am the one who makes the donuts" He replied. "So what ya want because as much as I love to be given this star treatment I would like to go home" Zaida said.

"You will go home once you answer our questions" Fury said. "Great so lets get started patchy" she grinned. "Romanoff remove the hand cuffs" he directed. "Oh that's not necessary" She smiled lifting up her hands, then pointing onto the floor showing the melted remains of the handcuffs. I smiled I like her she even had the guts to call Fury patchy. Where Fury just glared at her.

"So what ya want to know." She asked eyes gleaming

"Why did you dissapear four years ago" He asked eyes narrow.

"I ran away because of child abuse" she said her smile not leaving her face, shes not fazed by her past at all is she or shes not showing it.

"And you left with a boy named Louis Bryne" he continued.

"Yep me and Louie are like brother and sister and we both shared the same problem, So we left together. He grabbed his parents credit card and car and we left to the city of opportunity. Never looked back" She said. My heart dropped, she was been on her own sense the age of fourteen.

"How did you aquire your ability" Fury ask insesitvly. "I was born this way I think" She said scratching the back of her neck.

"Does Mr. Bryne have any abilites like yours" he asked raising an eye brow. "Nope unless you count telling bad jokes a power than a nope" she said.

"Do you know who your father is?" fury asked. Panic flashed across her face "No, nope, never met him. mom said it was a one time thing, and i mean what does it matter who my father is" she said quickly.

"Do you mind if I have some tests ran on you, for scientific purpose of course" relief flashed across her face happy to be off that topic. "Will it hurt" she asked. Fury sighed he obviously wanted to get answers about her powers and soon "No it won't hurt" He said.

"Well lets get started then" Zaida said.

I sat on exam table in the lab they left me in. Fear raked through me, tell them I'm not going to a lab and they take me to a lab. Demented little spy's or agents or ninja's or what ever they are I don't care. I crossed my arms and swung my legs, the perfect picture of an impatient paitent. I sighed has Louie noticed that I'm gone or is he still asleep. The last guess seemed more likely, I normally have to wake him up or he sleeps through the day. Then I noticed a burrnet walk through the door at sat down in a chair in front of me.

"My name is Bruce Banners, I'm just going to run some tests that's all" he said pushing his glasses. Why did that name sound familiar? Before I could shut my mouth it just came out "Oh your that Giant pissed off pickle that's with the avengers" I covered my mouth "Sorry I got no filter" I said turning bright red while he just smiled. Then he did something I didn't expect he laughed "Thats-the-first-I-have-ever-heard-anyone say-that" He said out of breath from laughing. I grinned "Well lets get this party on the road." I said.

"Alright" he said wiping a tear from his eyes and pulling a light bulb from the desk drawer. "Could you light this up" he said handing it to me. The moment I touched the bulb it blew up in a flash of light. "How many Zaida's does it take to change a light bulb, none because I cant touch light bulbs or they blow up" I joked. "Alright do you know the most energy you have ever absorbed" he asked.

"Well I absorbed a whole power plant once. Don't ask why" I said. He jotted down some notes. Ok how about this he said handing he a cord with a metal end. I grabbed hold of it and once I did the lights in the room started to flicker before he snatched the cord out of my hands.

"That was the cord was connected to the helicarrier power core, you were about to overload it" he said in awe. I shrugged "That's cool".

"That's extraordinary, that's almost as much as the tesseract. I've got to tell Fury" with that he ran out the door. "Bye pickle" I yelled out to him.

"What a strange man" I laughed. "Did I just hear you call Doctor Banners a pickle" Steve said as he walked into the lab.

"Yep just talking with the emotional giant pickle" I laughed which he soon joined in. "So Natasha asked me to inform you on why your here before fury does, something about giving you time to think" he said. "Your gifts could be used to help those who can't protect themselves. We would like you to join the Avengers" he said handing me an ID card with an A on it and my name printed nicely on it.

"Ya I bet they would just 'love' to use me" I snapped at him. "Not that kind of use. Do you really want to go back to robbing ATM machines or join a team" he said still holding the card out. "I've got a team, that's me and Louie" I replied not keeping the edge out of my voice. "Fury won't let you go if you don't join, but if you do I can get Fury to make sure Louie and you won't ever need to steal again." I said this time I took the card carefully like it was made of glass "They'll make sure Louie is taken care of and happy" I asked. He smiled "I promise miss Xeal" I nodded "I'm in"

"Welcome to the avengers Zaida"
