{ Zaida's pov }

I have to admit life has been good sense I moved into the mansion a week ago. I huffed and checked my heart rate monitor. One more lap I told myself as I ran around the track outside avengers mansion. I ran over four miles so far. Reaching my end point I grabbed my water bottle and towel sitting myself down onto a bench. I smiled four miles in five minutes new record for myself.

" Hey Zaida, out early running" Steve asked walking up to me. "Yep working my muscles, you don't get a body like this from super syrum" I laughed "Hey want to race, you game Steve" I asked grinning feeling like a million bucks.

"Sure" he grinned he thinks I'm going to loose, ya right. He walked over to the starting line and started to stretch. I reached into my pocket grabbing hold of my phone draining it dry I felt like I could run a marathon in a minute. "Ready. Go" I shouted as we took off. I kept up with him the whole time, he looked surprisingly at me grabbing my Ipod and draining that dry I took off ahead of him and made it to the finish before him.

I flopped onto the grass panting. I looked up to see Steve looking down on me grinning. "I win old man" I panted holding my hand out which he gladly took to help me up. "I've never lost in a race, that's quite an a feet you just did there." He said patting my back. "Ya but now my phones batteries dead and Ipod" I sad making a fake tear with my finger. "You you can use energy to enhance your self? "He asked and I nodded in return.

That's when my avengers ID card went off. "Zaida report to the living room along with Steve ASAP" Tony voice said coming from the card. "Okay doky Tony" I replied. I remember the first time I got a call from that I smashed it do this technically was my new one. "Come on Steve let's go" I said waving to Steve to follow.

I sat in the living room with Clint, Natasha, Bruce, and Steve waiting for Tony to show up. But after for an hour I sighed "Jarvis where's Tony" I asked the house. "He's talking to the new recruits in the conference room, he just wanted you all in this room to keep track of you" Jarvis replied oblivious to the major frying his creator was about to get. "Tony!" I shouted I ran out of the living room looking back only to see no one was following me, probably scared that their the ones that will get fried if they get in my way.

Then an idea hit me on the head I'll just eve's drop on their conversation and report back to the others so we all are informed before Tony comes to talk to us. I found the vents that lead to the conference room and climbed in, there are some advantages to being the smallest and youngest.

I crawled around tell I was right over the table in the room and could hear Tony speaking. "I'm telling you stark I'm just here to rehabilitate criminals so they can live life to the fullest. " a voice obviously male informed stark.

"Ha well in here to kick some bad guy boot and do some good in my life unlike bug collector over there" a female voice piped up.

Tony started talking before a potential argument could start "Well before you meet the team there is some information that has to remain in this room and not to be told to-" I leaned forward on the Panel which became my down fall, literally I fell out of the vent onto the table right in the middle of them. Hitting my back hard on the table I let out a moan as the wind was knocked out of my lungs.

I heard a squel from the female person. I opened my eyes to find Tony in a mix between gaping and Glaring. "Hey Tony, I'm finished cleaning the vents" I joked. "Who is this" I turned to see a man in a red one piece suit with a silver helmet on that had silver entanas. I stretched my hand out to him still on my back "Zaida Xeal aka I don't have a name yet" he shook my hand "Hank Pim aka Ant man and this is Janet van Dyne aka the wasp" he said pointing to the Burnet girl wearing a yellow and black one piece with wings.

I sat up and crossed my legs on the table still. "I told you to wait out in the living room with the others" Tony said rubbing his temples. "Ya but it's not my fault you lied to us, you just wanted told a secret meeting with bugs" I snapped at him. I could hear my hair sparking and standing on end. The bugs mostly the girl just stared at my hair. "That's incredible" Hank said in awe walking over waving his hand over my hair.

"Want to see some thing cool" I asked him which he nodded to. I raised my hand collecting all my energy forming rings of orange energy around my hand, I turned to look at his face that was in wonder. I looked at Tony and pointed at him sending my energy at him. Tony fell to the floor squeling from the shock where I could help but laugh and Janet joined in. Hank just stood there "How long have you been able to do that" he asked. "Sense birth" I shrugged.

Tony collected himself and stood dusting himself off "Lets go meet the others shall we" he said walking to the door. I like these people already.

After much introducing I headed towards the front door grabbing my coat off the couch when Janet ran over "Where ya heading Z" she asked. Great I already have a nickname. " Out to get some lunch" I stated now just leave bug girl. "I'll come with you, too many guys here" she said grabbing her jacket I just stared at her "what" she asked. "I don't think it's normal for people to wear one piece bee suits." I Replied. "Oh wait right here" with that she ran up stairs.

I waited sitting on the couch I sighed where's one of Steve's pep talks when you need one, then again I knew this would happen I always get depressed when I fully drain. Then Janet came down I jeans and a tee shirt and we headed out.

Janet sat across from me at my favorite coffee shop sipping tea and trying to start up a conversation "What's so special about this cafe" she asked. I looked around hoping Louie might show up, I miss him and it was hard the way we parted but them again it seems I always hit someone when I leave. "Before I became an avenger me and a friend of mine use to go here all the time" I informed her.

"What's was their name" Janet asked. "Louie. He is like a sibling to me but he doesn't exactly like the avengers so I haven't seen him that much." I confessed. This was a good idea, it's nice to have a girl to talk to who's not a deadly assassin.

Wind started to pick up, I looked over to the middle of the road to see a mini blue tornado with a man in a strange sharp suit only showing his eyes carrying bags of what I guessed cash. "Not him again" Janet sighed. "A friend of yours" I asked setting my coffee down. That's when Janet shrunk to the size of well a bug. She flew off after the speeding tornado man.

Borrowing a motorcycle I sped after them. I called Tony while I was at it "Hey Tony do you happen to know a fellow in a blue metal suit that drives a tornado" I asked getting closer to Janet and wind boy. "Ya he goes by whirl wind has the ego of a house, do need some back up" Tony asked. "Na I got this stark" I said then jumped off the bike onto the back of whirl wind.

"Get off of me!" He yelled stopping to throw me off his back. "Janet give me your phone" I snapped at her holding onto the back of whirl wind. Without hesitation she through it to me and I caught it in my hand, suckling it dry I felt like I had drunk from the cup of happiness. Placing my hand on his face I sent a shock at him. He yelled out in pain finally throwing me off his back.

"You'll pay for that girl" he snapped pointing his fists at me and I didn't want to find out what they could do, Janet stood in front of me as I glared at wind bag over there. She started shooting at his faces causing him to cower covering his face and she ended it with growing back to regular size ad kneeling him in the face. The bags dropped out of his hands revealing money and other things like jewelry. People cheered all around taking pictures, I guess heroes do get some credit.

[24 hours later]

I was sitting on the couch with bruce eating some muffins when Janet came squeling in. "Zaida were in the papers" she said rushing to me and threw the paper at grinning from ear to ear. But I wasn't grinning, no not one bit. The title read 'The wasp saves teen from whirlwind" even in the picture I was half way cut out.

My hands trembled from anger the paper started to smoke. "Zaida are you alright" Bruce asked placing a hand on my shoulder. I don't need comforting ego does he think I am, some lowly sad child in need of saving?! "Do I look ok Bruce, why don't you mind your own business and go back to that lab of yours you plan on spending your whole life in" I snapped throwing down the paper as it lit ablaze. I stormed out of the living room leaving Janet panicking trying to put out the fire.

"Do you plan on being a shadow your whole life Zaida, unless you show power you will only be weak. What happens to wreak things in this world? They are forgotten." He had once said.

He was right, I'm weak. Tears turned to acid on my cheek leaving sharp scars like cracks coming from my eyes. It's not to late I can prove my power to the avengers, to the people, to every one. I won't be a shadow again. A warped smile spread on my face, no one will forget me.
