(Jane)
I was in the Light's underground base with the other "50" that included Marcus. The base was an old power warehouse station that was connected to miles of forgotten underground tunnels. It had improvised chairs and the lighting was spotty at the best of times but it was secure and easy to defend. I was currently standing on a wooden box discussing what I knew and what Shield had on the Light. "I'm going to join the Avengers. Before you protest I think it is for the best and I can keep them off our trail. Shield knows about us and is already planing to take us down. They think we are a threat and we are, but not to them. If Shield starts this attack none of us are going to be spared and I'm sure they are going to win with the resources they have. They will try to take each and every one of us down because we are all the leaders. The best way to kill a snake if to cut off the head right? My plan is simple and will only change how Shield views us. If they only had one ultimate Leader to eliminate then they will leave you guys and the Light alone. If worse comes to worse and there is no way to escape then this "Boss" would die and to the outside world it would seem that the Light is no more, when all we really have to do is go even more under raps and will still be able to fight crime. I think I would be the best person to do this since I can manipulate Shield easily once I'm in. To accomplish this operation all we have to do is spread rumors through the network that the Light has a new leader called Ghost. I'll try to reason with them from both sides to leave us alone but we do have back up plans in place in case this doesn't work out. We've dealt with crisis before and this is no different. I only ask you to remember this if nothing else, Shield is not our enemy and neither is the Task Force. We all have heard the stories of what hell it was without them around. I just hope that we can agree on this course of action for the sake of the Light. Thanks." I stepped of and as a group we talked about what the future will hold. It was decided that I would be Ghost and that we would lay low until Shield backed of. We all were leaving through the many tunnels when it hit me about how much we had grown. Not long ago we were a group of wild teenagers with authority issues, somewhere along the way we turned into a super powered family who trusted each other completely. I was smiling when Marcus ran up to me and started yelling at me worried an angry. "What are you thinking!?, I mean I know you are insane but I didn't think you were suicidal!" "I'll be fine Marcus, they're the good guys remember, and if shit hits the fan I always wanted to visit France this time of year anyway." He groaned giving up on trying to reason with me. "Just be safe OK? I wouldn't know what I would do without you." He said deadly serious. I laughed trying to diffuse the situation. "You would probably die from either starvation or a Pop-tart overdose. I swear you eat way to many of those. You have one in your pocket right now don't you?!" "So what if I do, they're delicious." he defended with a light blush covering his tanned cheeks. I laughed once again but in my mind I was freaking out about tomorrow. I grabbed my phone once outside and looked at their mainframe right when the clock struck midnight. There amongst the code was the words "Fine, Shield will be expecting you." "I better go prepare", I murmured smirking slightly. The next day came to quickly. I woke up once again on Marcus's couch. I went to make breakfast and was presently surprised to see that the fridge was stocked. I got dressed like I usually did in a plain blue open backed shirt and jeans I also threw on my open backed leather jacket. Then I made pancakes for him and also left a note telling him where I was going on the counter because he was still sleeping like the dead. I then flew out the window flying toward the helicarrier. Once I was high enough not to be seen from the ground I pulled out my miniature laptop I fondly called Steve and set to work programing a little hello present for Shield and Tony, after all I had about two hours of flying to do. I put in my headphones and started listening to my "Angry sound track" which involved a lot of metal music. This is going to be so much fun.
(Tony)
It was 15 minutes until Jane was supposed to arrived and it was all everyone-to-battle-stations time . I was wearing my suit and when I looked around the others were decked out in their outfits too, waiting just outside the entrance. Fury set the elevation to where the air pressure didn't kill us. It was very nice of him. I had spent most of last night trying to secure Shield's systems and I'm very proud to say that it is hacker proof. So Ha! That that you feathered brat! All of a sudden we saw a winged figure heading towards us on the horizon. "Jarvis scan incoming object." "I'm sorry sir, but the system is being over rode by a virus called "Fear Steve" suddenly there was static and when Jarvis came on he sounded sluggish. "I..i...Hello good chap I seem to be a bit drunk at the moment and do you know what it's awesome!" He than fell into a fit of giggles. "Oh shit." I cursed as my only form of defense went off the deep end.
(Jane)
I launched the programs. Take that Fury. I though smugly as I flew closer to the huge sky base.
(Agent Hill)
I was in the main room with Fury watching the screen as Jane approached. All weapons were trained on her when suddenly... "Program suck-it" is online", came on over the speakers and suddenly all the screens went dark and the tech crew lost all control over the helicarrier. The equipment went back online a second latter with a chibi angel dancing on the screens with flashing colors to loud Japanese dance music that filed the entire ship. Having learned Japanese I was able to understand the lyrics. It was "I'm a crazy angel dancing through the stars. Crazy angel, dance dance dance threw the sky." I tried not to laugh but when I looked at Fury I instantly sobered. He was mad. It took a lot to make him mad and this would do it. Poor kid, I thought while issuing orders to the ship trying to get everything back under control even when the ship looked like a dance club.
(Tony)
She hacked Jarvis! My unhackable program! He was currently telling me what an ass I was while making me do the macarena. Oh great he was now singing 'I'm a little tea pot' at full volume. Though my mutinous armor I could see that the helicarrier was no longer in Shields control and that Jane was about to land. The others stood in shock for a few minutes then prepared to fight.
(Jane)
Action time. I landed and tucked in my wings looking at the Avengers who were ready to battle, all except Tony who was now doing the hokey-pokey. I held up my hands in surrender and said "I'm not here to fight. Here." I lifted up Steve and shut down my viruses. Everything went back to normal including Tony who was previously on the ground doing the worm. He stood up and walked over to the others who were standing in front of me. "I come in peace." They just looked at me with varying levels of pissed-offness. Tony was the first one to talk. "How did you bug Jarvis!?" "Oh that was easy. I just used one of your viruses that were on Shield's database and modified it. Also you should know that no matter how much security you place, it is really easy for someone to enter through an external device that is hooked up to your server. I piggy backed on Agent Blake that was on a...let's just say a very questionable website involving scantily clad women. You need better agents. So I do get a tour of the place and a room stay in right?" They weren't happy if their stony faced expressions were anything to go by. I looked behind them and saw that Fury was coming our way so I said. "I can sense great anger among you, but someone murderous is going to be here in 3...2...1." Fury stopped behind us. I jumped behind Steve and used him as a barrier. "See what did I write? Most people want to kill be in the first five minutes of knowing me and this proves it." I sighed in faked exasperation and rolled my eyes. "Meeting room now!" he boomed in his anger. Nobody argued just walked in without saying a word. Even I knew that speaking now would probably be bad. Once we were seated he said in a calmer tone but still clearly mad "Explain to me what the hell you were thinking." I straitened in my seat and spoke boldly. "I just didn't want Shield to shoot me out of the sky and I had to get back at Tony for leading you guys to me and finding me in the first place. I also wanted you to be aware that I'm not just some kid but a genius who could hack all of Shield in an hour. Imagine what I could do to the Pentagon." I said with a grin, thinking about emailing everyone there that it was casual Friday. I should do that later. Fury was not amused. "Hey no one got hurt right? It was meant to be harmless. It didn't even damage your systems. Are you just mad because I was able to beat Shield? If that's the case I'm on your side so there's not much to worry about." I defended. They were just starring at me again. Well this was boring. I discreetly turned on my music, since I still had my headphones in. It was not dance music like most of what I listened to. It was rock and the good stuff not the emotional crap. (A.N. Most of the stuff I listen to can be categorized as emotional crap. So don't kill me I mean no offense.) After 2 minutes of them just starring at me waiting for me to talk I just turned up the volume so that they could hear it. The boy from before recognized the band and said it aloud. He instantly got 10 points on his coolness chart. "Cookie for you." I said happily. "Hey did you see them play in central park?" he asked oblivious of the adults surrounding us. "Are you kidding? Do you remember the random group of people that crowd-surfed with the lead singer?" he nodded enthusiastically. "I was one of them." "NO way." "Yeah and after that I made out with the band's drummer until his girlfriend caught us." I boasted. "Ahem." Steve coughed trying to get our attention back on track. "You should get that cough looked at." I told him slyly then looked at Fury. "So to get back on topic. I bet you have some questions for me?" "Yes first of all we need to know the extent of your powers." "OK. I'm telepathic, I can fly, I have an I'Q of around 180. I'm a hacker and a master of disguise. I also can fight pretty well. Anything else?" "Where did you get those identities?" "I made some of them in case of emergencies and stole a few during the years." I lied smoothly keeping the warehouse a secret. "Why, were you running from something?" "No I'm a mutant. Some folks don't take kindly to us and I also had a tough life growing up. If it got really bad I could have run away." I said and it wasn't a complete lie. "Do you know other mutants?" "Of course I do. Lots of them but it will be a ice cold day in hell before I rat any of them out." I responded serious for the first time. They could see it in my eyes how certain I was of that fact. "We weren't asking you to." Was the Captain's defense. "Good, any more questions?" "Any other more serious crimes that we need to know about?" "Nada, I tried to keep a low profile so I wouldn't have to see your beautiful faces or be deported to Haven and away from my home." "Are you in a relationship?" "Aw Fury are you interested? I usually don't date older men but..." I let the sentence trail off. Fury scowled and Tony fell on the floor laughing. "Answer this seriously Miss Carter." said Coulson annoyed. "No I do not but I do have some angry ex's and one night stands." I said with a shutter remembering the last. Suddenly my phone rang. I looked at it. The caller was Jenny. Oh shit the girls. I stood up quickly. "Sorry I have to go. Lets arrange this chat for latter. I'm assuming that I get a room here so I'll be back in a few hours and before you say anything it's a Sunday, my day off, and I don't see any danger around..so bye!" With that I rushed out of the meeting room and took the correct hallways to get me out of the helicarrier. I was really late. I jumped off the side and flew at my top speed. Man, Jenny is so going to kill me.
(Alex)
"Did you plant the bug?" Fury asked Natasha. "The moment she sat down." Was her cool reply. "Hey guys didn't she say no surveillance." I asked trying to protect her basic rights. I was completely ignored. "Oh smart, what kind of bug?" Asked Tony already on his wrist device. "Audio and Visual." answered my uncle. "Sweet. Okay here we go." Up on the screen images of the city flashed by as she flew. "How fast is she flying?" asked the Captain in wonder. "At least 200mph." Tony responded starring at the monitor. "Now for audio." he pressed a button and we were greeted by loud dub-step music and wind. Suddenly a phone rung. "Shit." she cursed. "Steve answer." There were then a few clicks and a woman's voice could be heard. "Where are you? Is that wind? Are you flying?! It's day out if you haven't noticed!" "Hey calm down Jenny, I'm to high up to be seen. I'll be there in a few. Sorry I'm late." "You better be. Me and Maxine have been planing this date for months!" "I know... So how are my little nieces?" "Waiting impatiently for their very forgetful aunt." "Hey I can see the park now give me two minutes." It showed the park getting closer and closer until she finally landed with a small thud. Soon a heavily tattooed woman and two young little girls could be seen playing. Jane jogged up to them. "Hey Jenny." They hugged and then Jenny said. "You. Kids. Watch. I have to go. I can't believe you forgot my anniversary! You were the best maid after all. No flying with them." With that she ran though the gate and into a cab, leaving Jane with the girls. "Hey princesses." she called cheerfully. The little girls, one around 6 and the other 3, eyes lit up and they charged at her. She hugged them and asked "How are my babies doing?" "Great auntie Jane." squealed the older one. "And how are your mommies doing?" "They're good." "Are you guys ready to have fun with your favorite aunt." "Yes and look what I can do!" The oldest girl squeezed her face up in concentration and all of a sudden her hair changed from blond to bright pink then back again in a few seconds. "Wow aren't you the little chameleon, just like your mommy!" Jane praised proudly. We just sat there in shock looking at the screen. "OK what did your mommy pack for us to play with?" Jane asked playfully as she opened a huge tote bag. "Lot's." was the 6 year-old's simple response. "Cool, Ana please bring Lee over here we don't want her to wonder away." "OK!" she chirped. Jane laid out a quilt and sat on it. Ana carried Lee back over and they too were seated. "Hey Ana how's Lee doing." Jane asked putting Lee in her lap. "She's really smart." "Oh?" asked Jane and I heard the question in her voice. "She's doing mulimucation or something like that already, but I don't understand it." Was Ana's response and it was clear that she was trying to say multiplication. Once again everyone was stumped. "Well that's okay everybody learns at a different pace." Jane said sympathetically as she rummaged through the bag. Jane placed flash cards and numbered tiles in front of Lee and pulled out some dolls and toys for Ana. "Can you make them dance like last time?" asked Ana excitedly. "Sure but we'll need some music." Jane commented and pulled out her laptop and put on piano music. "Can you sing to?" "If I have to sing than you have to dance, how about that?" Ana nodded then stood taking an armful of stuffed animals with her to stand a few feet away in the grass. The music was turned up and Jane started moving her fingers to the tempo like a conductor. The toys stood up and started to move with Jane's hands. Then she started to sing. It was wasn't the best by far but the girls didn't seem to mind and neither did Jane. Ana was clearly happy and danced long after Jane stopped singing. About an hour latter Ana fell asleep with Lee and Jane had pulled out a sketch pad and started to draw them in great detail. It was very well done. "Well that's surprising who knew that the kid was an artist." Was Tony's comment as we slowly watched the comic come to life. The kids woke up just as Jane had put on the finishing touches and snacks were eaten. It turns out that Jane is freakishly good with children. An hour had passed and not much was happening so Fury put me, Tony, and Bruce on monitoring duty. Jenny came back an hour later smiling with her arm rapped around another woman with a bunch of piercings and bright pink hair a lot like how Ana did her's earlier. "Mommies!" Ana screamed and ran to them efficiently waking up Lee who just wiggled around happily. "Did you guys have fun with Jane?" "So much. She made Mr. Sleepy dance." Ana chattered obviously talking about a stuffed animal of hers. "Thank you again Jane for watching them, I know they can be a handful at times." said the pink haired woman, who I supposed was Maxine. "Not at all, and again I'm so sorry for being late, some important stuff came up." "Hey I understand 'stuff '" she said with a wink. "It is so not like that!" Jane defended loudly packing up. "Let me meet him sometime, I want to give him 'The Talk'." "No way, the last time you did that my date was too scared to even hold my hand." Jane all but yelled. "Well see ya latter." Max said and walked back to her family that was waiting with a cab. "Good luck." Jane said as she too hailed for a cab.

I was on my way to Marcus's when Steve beeped three times. That was his way for silently telling me I was bugged. I felt white hot rage flow through me. They had seen my family. That pissed me off especially when I told them specifically no surveillance. Oh well time for revenge. I hit the space bar on Steve and heard two beeps which meant that the device was at my shoulder. Very gently I removed my jacket and discretely looked for a bug. There it was right on the collar. It was so small I wouldn't have noticed it if Steve hadn't told me. By the model I could tell that it was a listening and audio bug. Making sure that the camera was covered I pulled out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote Marcus a note "I'm bugged by Shield. I want to fuck with them. Play along and watch what you say. The bug is in my jacket collar. Tell as many ridiculous stories as you can. Tonight we are reminiscing." once I stopped at Marcus's flat I payed the cabby and knocked on his door the whole time making sure the camera was blocked. He opened it at the first knock before he could say anything I covered his mouth with my hand the universal sigh to shut up. I then handed him the note. He read it and grinned mischievously. "Just set your coat over there." he pointed to the center of the coffee table. "Cool. So how are you doing?" "Great, but I'm more worried about you? How did the meeting go?" "They are all so grumpy. They couldn't even take a little joke although I'm proud to say that I made Iron man do the worm." "You can't be serious." "Oh yeah it was hilarious. He looked like such an idiot. I was dieing on the inside from not laughing. Then they asked questions. It was pretty boring. I had to leave before I got to see the lab. Imagine all the things I can make blow up in there. It will be like high school all over again." "Wait wasn't that the time when the chemistry teacher wouldn't give you the time of day because you were a senior and only 14, so you interrupted the class and taught a lesson on how to make common class room materials into C4." "I never got in trouble because the teacher had permanent amnesia and the students either respected me or feared me to much to talk." "You have a serious problem with explosives." he said exasperated. "Hey explosives and me are tight. I use them in moderation and it will never hurt me." "Keep telling yourself that. Oh I have some news that you will love." He said with a smug look on his face. "Yes?" I questioned curious. "The newest manga of Black Butler just came out." I froze, becoming an absolute fangirl. He held it up. I saw stars and I glomped him then snatched the manga from his hands. "EEP!" I said hugging it to me. "Will you stop Fangirling over it." He said looking mildly weird-ed out. "Never! I get at least an hour of ogling over Sebastian a day and nothing will get in the way of that ever. If you value your life you will never dis this work of true beauty or I will..." I paused for breath. "You will tear me limb from limb and call upon the forces of Kuroshitsuji Fangirldom to feed me to Pluto am I right?" "Yes, good boy" I said as it talking to a dog. (A.N Sorry I had to enter a few Black Butler references because I love the anime and manga as much as I love the Avengers. Look it up.)
(Alex) "What's Black Butler?" Tony then looked it up. "It is apparently a manga for teenage girls about a kid and his demon. Here are the main characters." A bunch of anime characters poped up. "Why?" I face palmed. Jane was really very weird.
(Back to Jane) "So tell me all about the Avengers, like what are they like." "Not as good or terrible as the media makes them out to be. Black-widow doesn't like me. Her emotions were easy to read like all theirs. She doesn't trust me and would rather kill me than have the Avengers threatened. Hawkeye is passive about me but he too is willing to kill me if the order is put out. I can also tell that he and Widow are hooking up, but that's not important. The Captain is a goody two shoes. He wants to do right by everyone. It is going to get old very fast. Iron-man or as I like to call him ferret face has an ego larger that his franchise and is as much of an ass as I am so we'll fight a lot. For someone so smart he is really stupid most of the time. The Hulk want's to study me. It was written all over his face. He also will avoid conflict by any means which will make him easy to twist around my finger. The new guy, is just a kid. If you put him in the field alone he's gonna die and everyone knows it. He seems like a lost puppy to me swimming with the sharks, but hey who am I to judge? I will say this. He has earned some credit with me for having some taste in music." I spoke knowing that they were listening to me. "And Fury?" "Don't get me started. He has a pole shoved so far up his ass that he's choking on it! I swear he wanted to kill me more than once and it took all my control not to slap him and call him stupid. He thinks he's so tough when in reality he could be taken down in half an hour with a smart phone. Coulson is no better but he is a strategist. I could see it in his eyes. He is constantly planing something. All in all not the worst group but they underestimate me. I'm also curious to see if they will keep to the terms of our agreement. If I find out they lied to me I'll tell the Avengers what I found out about Fury's personal plans. How he devised ways to kill or threaten each one of them if they step out of line. He has trust issues, but why rock the boat if I don't have to. I also think that the main reason Fury let Alex join was so that he could manipulate Hawkeye's only remaining family any time he wants." That should do it. I though proudly. "Let's get off all this serious stuff and move on." Marcus looked at me in shock and I gave him a thumbs up. "Do you remember that time that we got locked in that party store for a weak and had to live off cup cakes and booze. That was the best birth-week ever! I became addicted to sugar that day." I smiled happily. "I've told you before that you can't become a sugar addict." "Yes you can, you just didn't because all you eat is Pop-tarts." "Will you drop it already. I went shopping if you remember." He said in his defense. "So what did you eat for lunch huh?" "Well..." He said looking bashful. Which was funny because he was built like a giant. "It was a pack of Pop tarts right?" "Okay maybe I do have a problem but it is a lot smaller that your manga addiction." "Don't you diss my love or I will ban you from eating anything with sugar in it again. Including your beloved Pop-tarts " "You can't, you have a job. So ha!" "I bet Lisa will be more than happy to help." I said imagining one of my good friends. She had a small obsession on Marcus and would do anything for me if it involved helping him. "Jane don't even think about it. That girl is 10 pounds of crazy in a 5 pound bag." He said with a look of fear in his eyes. This was the guy who could hurl fireballs, but when it came to a 95 pound girl he was suddenly a big baby. I fell on the floor laughing. He just huffed childishly.
(Alex)
They continued to talk but we zoned out after what Jane said about Fury. "Do you think that she's telling the truth?" I asked suspiciously. "Why would she lie, she doesn't know we're listening." Was Bruce's reasoning. "I knew it!" Tony shouted angrily. He pulled up Shield's data base and started hacking it. After a few minutes multiple files popped up. They were all about us. Hidden surveillance videos, all of our strengths and weaknesses, back-round checks on the people we talked to. They had two years of this stuff, and hidden cameras in the once Stark Towards, turned home. It was creepy and a serious breech of trust. "Maybe you should leave." it was Tony speaking to Bruce. The last time he hulked out was last week and he destroyed the east side of the Avengers Tower. Which was still being repaired for the next week. That was why we were staying here on the helicarrier. "I'm actually not as mad as you are because Shield has always had me on surveillance ever since the other guy came out the first time. It's nothing new. Although I had kind of curious to see how they would kill me.." he trailed off deep in thought. "You can't be serious?" I asked him incredulously, shocked at how he didn't seem bothered at all that we had no privacy and that the people we worked for were thinking about killing us. "Well I'm not standing for it!" Tony shouted and after furiously typing for a few minutes he triumphantly turned around. "All the data on us has been destroyed from all Shield servers. That includes you to big guy." he said looking at Bruce. "I also self-destructed any of their bugs from our tower. Now it is time to confront Fury." With that he pressed another button and the alarms went off. "Code 234 Zombie outbreak. I repeat Zombie outbreak..." It continued and I couldn't stop laughing. It amused me to see that Fury had prepared for the zombie apocalypse. Five minutes latter and the alarm was shut off. Fury and Coulson stormed in seconds latter looking annoyed. "Will you tell me why my whole ship was arming to take down zombies at 6:00 pm?" "Sure if you'll tell us why you were plotting to kill us." Tony shouted angrily. Fury's face darkened and turned stony so that his face was even more unreadable. "Did you really expect me not to have a back-up plan? You all are for the lack of a better word unstable. That word and the damage you could cause don't mix. Say one of you turned, what then? We have to be prepared to end you or control you if needed for the sake of humanity. If one of the hero's goes dark what message do you think it would send to all the other mutants that don't fit into society. It would cause chaos. It's my job to be prepared and look out for the signs. I'm not sorry for that." The whole room was tense and the air was thick with distrust. I realized that Hawkeye, Black-widow, and the Captain had walked in and had heard it all. Just when I thought someone was going to murder Fury, Jane walked calmly in. All eyes were on her as she slowly set down the bug on the center of the table. Her face was that of pure anger and her eyes flashed white with controlled power. She turned to Fury and in a flash she had held him by his throat to the wall. Milo-seconds later everyone had their weapons out and aimed at her. Fury gripped her arm. "You broke our agreement and I couldn't care less, but if you EVER put those baby girls in danger or hurt them in anyway I will kill you and anyone even slightly affiliated with Shield. Don't think I won't because you know the look in my eyes tells you differently." She let him go and he fell to the floor. "In the book 'The Mentality of a Hero and How best to Manipulate One' on page 45 it said that the best way to destroy a hero's organization was to destroy the trust among them. It almost worked to. You all keep forgetting that I'm as smart as him." I said pointing at Tony. "Break the my terms again and worse things will happen." She smiled then and it looked like she was never mad. It was creepy. "I think I should be leaving now. See you tomorrow" and with that she was out of the room. "Who have we really hired onto our team?" asked the Captain in a hushed tone.
So there's chapter 5. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. That's why I made this chapter so long. I don't know when I'll update again but I'm sure it will be something in the next few weeks. Sorry I have to work on getting my grades up and on my other fanfiction. Follow and review if ya like this. Also tell me what you don't like and I might change it or something. Peace out!
