(Captain America POV )
After the culprit was handed over to the police, Fury had called an immediate meeting in the Helicarrier about what had happened during the battle. The truth was that we had no idea. One minute every thing was moving then it wasn't, not even us. That was a problem in and of itself. We could have a new enemy and not be able to fight him. Fury didn't seem affected in any way but then again he was like that when the world almost ended. "So none of you saw anything?" he asked looking at everyone in turn. Suddenly Tony burst in the room acting like his cocky self and shouted "I found it!" everyone looked at him as he paused for dramatic effect. Coulson was not in the mood said "Get on with it Stark." Tony faked mock disappointment. "Fine. Your all no fun. I found the person who is responsible. It took maybe five minutes with the new program I created that uses every security feed in the area then picks out odd behavior. Well weird even by New York's standers and identifies the person. I got a hit." "And" Fury prompted. Tony dropped a file on the table as he sat with a loud thud.
"Jane Carter, 18, mutant." "That's not right" Coulson said "Most mutants are in their 30's before they can stop whole streets from moving and what is her ability any way? Time manipulation?" "Shes telekinetic as far as I know and a very powerful one at that. I mean just look at this." he showed us black and white footage of a teenage girl with a look of horror on her face then she yelled something like "No" with her arms outstretched. On the screen beside it, showed everything stop midair. Jane had a look of surprise on her face like she didn't know that would happen and slowly lowered her arms. She stood there watching us for a while then left as if nothing happened. "Pretty damming evidence huh?" Tony asked smugly. Everybody nodded numbly still in a mild state of shock. "So what are we going to do?" It was Bruce ever the scientist trying to look at the problem logically. "We could turn her in to the Task Force." Natasha suggested. "No they have enough to deal with as it is and she didn't to anything wrong exactly." I defended. "Well Captain what do you suppose we do? We can't just let a person with that much power roam the streets unsupervised." in was Fury that time. "Why not let her join?" it was Clint who spoke. Every eye was on him. "How is it such an absurd idea? I mean you let my nephew, Alex join without a second thought last month. What's so different about her?" "For one thing she's unpredictable and we know almost nothing about her, other than that she's a mutant." said Coulson. Tony started to type on the holo-screen arm brace he always had on.
"She graduated high school at St. Lilly's Academy for the Gifted at 14. Has a really high I. Q., and volunteer's for the soup kitchen and animal shelter on the weekends. She works at a book store and pays her rent on time. She also has no criminal record and no family listed anywhere. The only thing suspicious about her would be that she's too good. I don't know about you guys but she seems like a good candidate to me." "See even Tony agrees with me." Clint argued. "Hey!" Tony yelled. "Let's talk to the girl first and go on from there." Fury said with a note of finality in his voice and walked out with Coulson trailing behind, leaving the six of us alone together. "So what do you guys think?" I asked looking at the varying expressions. "I'm all for something interesting to happen." that was Tony's response. Bruce said "It would be a good skill set to have on the team and I would love to study telekinesis." "Of course you would. I'm just glad that with her here, Alex won't be able to just sit around doing nothing but training day and night." Clint commented tiredly, clearly annoyed by his nephew. "Well I personally don't think we need another teenager around." it was Widow who spoke. "She'll be found out sooner or latter and we want her on our side right?, not against us." Thor added. I nodded in agreement. The rumors that Loki was building a team of our enemies and was still in New York spread. He had escaped three months ago and Thor was back to recapture him. Jane could be a powerful weapon if he were to find her. I didn't like that idea. A few hours latter at around 9 Clint, Fury, and Tony along with 50 other employes of S.H.E.I.L.D. Went to recruit Jane. I really wanted nothing to do with it, so I declined when I was offered.
(Iron Man)
After pestering Fury for half an hour he agreed to let me come with him and Clint. Right now we were waiting for conformation that our forces had surrounded the small apartment complex that Jane lived in. "All troops in position and all exits blocked." Fury's radio buzzed. "Let's go" Fury ordered us as we started to walk down the hall and up two flights of stairs. The apartment door didn't have a peep hole so when Fury knocked, Jane had to actually open the door to find out who it was, goodie for us.

I had finally pulled on my favorite baby duck pajama pants and a comfy T-shirt of a skull with a bow. I had just grabbed a bowl of popcorn when there was a knock at the door. It was almost 10:00 so I was already a little suspicious of ho it could be but then again I had taken self defense class and oh yeah I had bad-ass super powers. I opened it up slightly keeping the cross bolt firmly in place. "Hello?" I asked looking to see who knocked and was greeted by the sight of a rather large man in an eye-patch with two equally large men behind him, but I lived in New York for years and few things made me worry. They're faces rang some bells in my mind but it was a long day and I was really tired. "What do you want." I asked bluntly. "Are you Jane Carter?" The front one asked. "Yes what is this concerning?" I was now really on edge. They didn't look like cops. I was beginning to wonder if my second job had followed me home. God I hope not. "Were you the one who used superpowers in the road in front of this building today." I felt a twinge of fear. Crap, my second job reared it's ugly head. Now I was going to have to move. Again!
I didn't let the fear show instead I laughed and said pointing at myself "Me? Trust me if I had superpowers I would be a lot better off and not living in this dump. So to answer your question, no I did not." the man looked at me then scowled and suddenly I recognized him. I silently kicked myself repeatedly for not getting it sooner. Two of the Avengers were standing on my doorstep. "so this isn't you?" he asked holding up a black and white photo of me with my arms held up from earlier today. "No sorry but I was hanging out with a friend all night last night and didn't get home until about 6:00." I knew Marcus, my best friend would cover for me if they checked. "Can we come in?" I glared at them. "No you may not. Your clearly not the police and I don't see any badges." I said trying to pretend I didn't know them. "If that is all then good bye." I slammed the door in his face. Now it was time to get the hell outta here.
(Iron Man)
I laughed loudly and couldn't stop. I think this is the first time that Fury had ever gotten the door banged in his face like that. I really like this kid. About half way through the conversation it was clear she recognized us but was still rude feigning innocence in her pink Pj's. I looked at Fury to see his reaction. He didn't show any sign of being mad, he just knocked on the door again. "What now?" she yelled. Not opening the door. "We need to come in this is urgent news and will use force if necessary." after a few seconds I heard a heavy sigh and a bolt being throw open. "Fine"
(Jane)
I let them in because I knew they would bust down the door and I did not want to pay for it. They all walked in and I got a better look at them. Hawkeye seemed to be aware of every movement in my apartment, Tony Stark had a smug smile on his face and seemed to be trying not to laugh, and finally Nick Fury who was completely unreadable. That bothered me, probably because I can usually read people extremely well. I can tell the difference when they are just mad and mad at me, or when they are sad and pretending to be happy, but few people were unreadable. "What is so urgent that you must disrupt my movie night?" I asked. I didn't like that I had been caught and decided then and there that I was going to be as much of a pain in the ass as possible. "Nice duckies" it was Tony. "Nice ferret" I shot back looking at his goatee and mustache. "So what exactly is the problem." Seeing their unbelieving stairs I knew that my secret was out no use pretending.
"I saved at least 30 people counting the bus of CHILDREN." I said stressing the word. "Is it too much to ask to go back to may normal life?" "I'm afraid it is. You see you've been classified at threat level 5 which means you can either join the Avengers or be imprisoned at a secret government base." the dead seriousness in Fury's voice irked me. I hated the power trippers especially the government's oh so powerful Task Force. Why, I thought, did I have to do that? I was going to find a way out of this and the sooner the better. "OK." I said playing along. "Just let me change out of these cloths." and with that I changed with lightning speed into durable cloths the only exception being the tank top underneath my shirt that exposed my back as well as a few hair pins expertly hidden in the hem of my pants. I would be needing these for latter, I thought, planing ahead. I grabbed the few possessions I owned and shoved them into a small carrying case. I walked out of my room into where my unwelcome guest were and glanced secretly at the large open porch window that was two stories up. "I just need to grab one more thing over there." I slung my bag into my hip and just as I was about to jump out the window, I saw Hawkeye pounce and jab a syringe into my neck. I gasped in surprise and as the world faded into inky blackness I heard Fury say "Looks like you made your choice." then I passed out. My last thoughts were "Well that happened."
