I don't own anything
Raventheif: Sigh...only 2,400 words. Not very long. Hope you enjoy :) R&R
Alanna tapped her fingers on the long, clear, glass table in the empty room. At one end was Bruce and a man with long blonde hair, a beard growing on his chin and on the other was Alanna. The doors swung open and in walked two more SHIELD agents and a boy with bright orange hair. It wasn't a natural color, almost neon. The two agents sat down at the end of the table next to Bruce and the other man.
The kid with orange hair stuffed his hands in his leather jacket and scanned the room with his olive-green eyes that landed on her. His gaze wasn't harsh, it wasn't friendly either. Alanna shifted in her seat, moving her eyes to the table. The boy sat a few seats away from her. The room had a comfortable silence until Alanna said "What's your name?"
The boy looked at her, his face blank and he said in a flat, boring tone, "Max."
"Alanna." she replied, still staring at the boy. He didn't look different, well save the orange hair, he looked like a normal teenage boy. Ripped jeans and a leather jacket, nothing strange about that. Guess it all goes to 'Don't judge a book by its cover'.
"Have you got nothing better to do with your life than stare at me?" he asked, his eyes meeting with her own. Alanna blushed deeply, not realizing that she had stared so long, and shook her head shrinking back into her seat. She didn't look back up at him.
OOOOOOoooooOOOOOOO
Max looked at the girl once her head was ducked down, her shorter hair covering up her face just barely. A mutant like him, ha, this girl didn't look like someone who has been through the stuff like he had. You could see it in their eyes, you could always see what they've been through in their eyes.
"You got nothing better to do than stare at me?" she asked him, not looking up.
Max shrugged his shoulders "Not really." he knew better than to let people know what he was thinking or feeling.
They were quiet again, suddenly there was a loud crash, "Another." the large man said in a booming voice.
The scrawny man was breathing heavily and a wild look coming into the edges of his eyes, "Thor!" Red head screamed at the man.
"Sorry Lady Natasha, it is rather hard to break a thousand-year tradition of Asgard." The man said sheepishly to Romanoff.
The doors opened and a smiling girl walked in the room, she was bouncing back and forth on her heels. Normally Max wouldn't be the one to judge a person based on their appearances, but this chick had bubblegum pink hair and white-blue eyes that were young and naive
Max's face remained a blank slate as the girl reached out a hand to Alanna and said in a bright voice, "Hi, I'm Annie. What's your name?" Alanna stared at the girl's hand, then her hair, then her eyes. Max saw her eyes, Alanna's, they were a clear, watery blue.
"Um, Alanna." she stammered out.
"Nice to meet you Alanna." Annie said again, she turned to Max "Hi, what's your name."
"Max." he said without interest propping his head up on his hand, Annie's seemly ever-present smile wavered but still sat down right next to Allison. God I hope the other teammates are better than this Max grumbled to himself.
OOOOOoooooOOOOO
Annie smiled at her new teammates, she finally had a home, a place where she could belong. Alanna seemed nice enough. Max seemed bored and scary, but Annie was sure he was just fine. She smiled at the people on the other end of the table.
There was a man with graying brown hair and looked scrawny, like those nerds you see in movies. The next was a beefy man that was dressed in old clothes, like he just came from a Renaissance fair or something. Next to him was a woman with a blank, threatening stare plastered to her face, she had her arms crossed across her chest and was staring down the new recruits. Last was a man with a cropped hair cut and dark sunglasses covering his eyes.
"What are your names?" she asked them in a light friendly tone.
"Thor of Asgard," the beefy man said.
"Agent Romanoff," said the woman
"Agent Barton," said the sunglassed man
"Doctor Banner," said the scrawny man. Annie froze on spot, Doctor? She thought in horror.
"L-like a scientist?" she asked him, her eyes widening. Bruce nodded, wondering why the girl was acting so strangely. There was nothing scary about science.
Annie tensed up, no. She couldn't go through this again. Not again. Never again. As she pushed the chilling memorys to the back of her mind the door opened again, revealing a young man with short black hair and gray eyes. He looked calm, like he could handle almost any situation. In with him walked a tall man with dark skin and only one eye.
"Hi," Annie said with her normal bubbly voice. "I'm Annie."
The boy smiled at her, "Adam, nice to meet you."
OOOOOooooOOOOO
Adam was the oldest of his teammates, if he could call them that. In the farthest seat was a boy with bright neon hair that hid his eyes. his hair was the only color on him. He wore a leather jacket and ripped jeans. Next was a girl with not-to-short hair, she was looking at the table tapping her fingers. Then, there was the friendly girl with bubblegum pink hair and white-blue eyes.
Adam sat down in-between the quite girl and the leather jacket kid. "I'm Alanna," said the quite girl.
"Adam." he responded finally getting a look at her eyes, they were a blue-gray color.
"Max." said a dead beat tone, it caused Adam to turn his head to meet the empty eyes of the neon kid.
"Ad~"
"I know your name, I've heard you say it two other times dumbass." Max snapped at him, Adam was taken back Well then, he thought. They were silent for a minute before the door swung open for the last time to reveal a girl with a cocky smirk and witch red hair, her green eyes that were freckled with gold scanned the room.
"I'm here! Your lives just got 20% better!"
Max rolled his eyes, "20%?" he drawled.
The girl pretended to think for a minute, "You're right, that's to little 45%!" Adam raised an eyebrow, this girl was putting on a show. Whether it was just her personality or she didn't want to be forgotten, he didn't know.
"I'm Adam," he said to the girl, causing her to change her gaze to him.
"Cass, charmed I'm sure." She sat down next to him, setting her feet up on the table. A man come in the door after her, he had spiked brown hair and a growing goatee.
"What took you so long Stark?" the red-head woman from across the table asked him.
He pointed to Cass, "She bites."
Everyone looked to Cass, who smiled at them "Only when I'm kidnapped." that only got more strange stares.
"She's crazy isn't she?" Max mumbled "Absolutely mental."
Cass placed a hand on her chest, "Guilty as charged."
Fury rolled his eyes and spoke up from the center "Welcome to SHIELD," he addressed the new recruits "Some of you may know of us, others may not. But none the less you all agreed to join Operation Magenta. Which is a program for young mutants like yourselves to benefit society. You will spend the next five years of your life at this base fighting for SHIELD."
Adams eyes widened, Five years He thought I thought it was shorter
OOOOooooOOOO
Cassie's mouth dropped to the floor, she gets free food for five whole years! "You will train with the Avengers every day," Fury continued, "and with each other. You will be sharing a dorm with each other, separate rooms for each gender. You will learn how to control your powers to the point where you can use them at your will. Today, will be the start of all this. Agent Hill will guide you to your rooms, clothes have already been pre-purchased and food stocked. You will meet up at the training room at o' fourteen hundred hours."
He dismissed them, a woman with short brown hair stood at the door, ready to lead them to their room. "Hi, I'm Annie," said a chick with bubblegum pink hair.
"Alanna." said the quiet chick.
"Max." said the boy who snapped at her. Cassie looked around, these were the people she was going to be spending the next five years of her life with? God help her.
Cassie jumped on the slightly lumpy bed that was on the bottom. There were two sets of bunk beds in the room, she had chosen the bottom one closest the to door. Alanna choose the other bottom one, and Annie climbed up to the top bunk above Cassies head. "Guess we're going to be spending a lot of time with each other, huh?" Alanna asked them.
Cassie picked at the dirt underneath her nail, they were relatively short due to the fact that she bit them. "Depends. If I get sick of you guys I'll just burn you to death." Alanna stared at her in shock, "I was joking," Cassie laughed "Jeez, you've got to lighten up kid."
Annie laughed and hung her head down from the top bunk, "Who knows how to cook, I'm hungry." Three growls erupted throughout the room.
"I vote pizza." Alanna said standing up. Annie jumped down and Cassie strutted out of the room to the small kitchen that they shared.
Adam and Max were sitting there, each looking equally bored. "Wheres the party?" Cassie joked searching through the fridge, Alanna sat down at the table along with Annie.
"Whats your power?" Annie asked suddenly.
"Chaos." Cass replied, "Fire, lighting, storms you name it, I got it."
Max scoffed under his breath, "Well that explains so much." Cass turned around and glared at him, cracking open a can of Mountain Dew.
"I can turn invisible." Alanna said, everyone looked to the spot where they thought she stood, but only to find that she was gone.
"No way." Adam looking around the room for her. She reappeared behind him with a can of Coke.
Max looked at her, "So you can disappear, big deal."
Alanna glared at him "Alright, lets see what you can do." she challenged him.
Max smirked standing up, he raised one hand and a patch of shadows vanished from the room and flew to his hand. He held onto them for a moment then they formed into a small wolf. It ran off around the room before it hit a beam of sunlight through the window and burned down. Max went to go get a Monster while everyone stared at him in shock, "What can you do?" He said, This time it was directed at Adam.
He shrugged, "Manipulate the wind." he answered simply, "What can you do Annie?" he asked the girl.
She smiled at them, "This." she wasn't Annie anymore, well she was. Just didn't look like it her. It looked like Cassie, only her eyes weren't green, they were the same white-blue of Annie's. Cassie almost fell over.
"I never knew I looked so good." she said with a smirk. Alanna rolled her eyes, Cass was so conceded it was almost unreal.
"So..." Adam said after silence.
"Don't make it awkward." Max grumbled.
"Attention Operation Magenta, please report to the training room. Repeat please report to the training room."
"Anyone know where that is?" Alanna asked looking around at the rag-tag team.
Adam slowly raised his hand, "I know," he said.
Training. Training. They had the balls to call this torture training. Alanna heaved to the last stretch of the training course legs burning, heart racing, and sweat pouring. Annie was pacing next to her, looking in no better condition, her hair was now a white color and cropped short, and she was leaner with less muscle.
Alanna fell down on the cool, comforting floor after she had just crossed the finish line, "That's a good break time, you get three minutes before half two." Natasha said to her.
"You mean there's more?" Cassie whined from where she fell down on the bench.
Clint rolled his eyes, "Well duh, you need to get into shape if you want to save the world."
Max glared at the man panting with his hands resting on his trembling knees "Are you fucking insane!" he hissed "What we need is junk food, TV, and Soda!"
"That will just rot your brain." Clint defended.
"Exactly!" Cassie snapped back "What do you think we are? Middle aged creepers with nothing better to do with our lives? Sorry to break it to you but we're teenagers who require rotten brains to survive."
Adam frowned at her, "There's no need to yell."
Cass looked up at him, "Stay out of it. Can't you see I'm trying to have an argument here?"
Annie looked at everyone, "Don't fight, there's no point in fighting," she pleaded with the two.
"Don't stop now," Max said with a smirk "It was getting good."
Alanna glared at him, fed up with his stupid comments. She wasn't normally the type to get angry at people or shout at them for something stupid, but his guy was really setting her off edge. And to add his and Cassie's sarcasm together along with the pressure.
"Why don't you just shut up huh?" Alanna said to him, still breathing heavily. Annie fidgeted nervously, she hated it when people fought. There was no point to it really, when you lose, you lose and when you win, you win. There was no reason. But they wouldn't be fighting this long, they couldn't. We were a team, right?
