Project 2512125

Chapter 2: I'm All Yours

A/N: I sent in a character request for the Young Avengers a week ago, and fanfiction managed to put it up for me. So now all you guys can put the character option on all of your stories, and other can search by those characters too. Yay!

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

The Young Avengers stared. In front of the team was a young girl, around 16. She had dark brown hair with silver streaks that cascaded down her back. Her eyes were hidden to the group of teens. But their attention was drawn to how she was standing.

See, thing is, she wasn't. She was on the wall. On the wall. Her arms and legs were sort of stuck to the wall behind her. Kinda like Spiderman. thought Eli as he stepped forward in front of the team, showing his leadership of the young group of superheroes.

"Patriot." Kate warned as she pointed to the girl.

"What?" Eli asked her, looking at the girl again. "Oh." he gasped.

She wasn't just on the wall, now she had a raging flame in one hand a presumed force-field in the other. And her head moved up and her eyes were staring right at them.

Billy was amazed by them. They were a moss green but for some unknown reason they were part gold and another part purple. They were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. Apart from Teddy of course.

"What do you want?" said the girl in an acidic tone. "Leave or I'll burn you into dust. And don't think I won't." she mocked.

Teddy spoke. "Project 2512125?"

Her gaze softened as she jumped of the wall and landed perfectly without stumbling. The flame and force field disappeared in a quick flash as she walked towards them.

"She's hot." Tommy whispered to his twin. Her black Lycra suit hugged her body and Tommy had to admit, it was a great body.

Billy nudged the speedster to silence him. He didn't really want to know about his brothers fantasies.

"How did you know my name?" she asked Teddy. She was a good head shorter than everyone. But it didn't matter if she was short, cause by the looks of it, she would be very powerful.

Teddy stuttered, "Uh, well...It's complicated." he rambled.

"How did you find me." she pressed, "Who told you?"

"Susan Richards." Kate answered, stepping out from behind Eli, her bow and arrow left behind.

The girl slid to the floor and Tommy and Billy crouched down to her height. She was crying. "Why?" she sobbed.

Tommy put a hand on her shoulder, "Why don't you tell us your name?" he suggested, trying to be nice.

But she wasn't on the floor. Somehow she had bolted at a very high speed to the other end of the room. Tommy's eyes widened. "Your a speedster?"

Cassie and the team groaned. Another speedster, just what they needed.

"I'm way more than that." the girl announced her eyes now a silver shade like Tommy's.

Eli stepped forwards again. "Stop, all of you. All this is going nowhere. Now, Speed step back will you- your making me nervous." he ordered.

Tommy slumped back and stood next to Cassie. "Why is he in charge of us?" he hissed.

"Because he's our leader." she replied.

"And who's idea was that?" he drawled, "Let's see how the super-soldier handles the speedster. He can't even keep me under control."

"That's because you don't co-operate." Kate answered for Cassie.

The girl spoke, attentively watching them bicker. "Your the Young Avengers?"

"The name's horrible, I don't know why it stuck." mumbled Billy to himself. "Then I guess anythings better than Asguardian."

"Yes-" Eli said, ignoring Billy's comment. He knew the Young Avengers was a really bad name, but it somewhat...suited them. "Mrs. Richards told us to find-"

"Don't say that name!" the girl shouted, her attitude changed dramatically. "Do not mention Richards to me. Ever. Again." a flame appeared in her hand and everybody seemed to step back in fear.

"I'm sorry." apologized Eli, "Care to tell us your name?"

"Belle." she said,, quickly bolting to them again. Tommy was secretly pleased that another speedster was amongst them. He was getting lonely. "Or Project 2512125."

"I prefer Belle." remarked Tommy. "Project 2512125 sounds like some genetic thingy."

"Well, to Reed Richards I am." she grumbled. None of them actually paid attention to what she really said.

"Mr Fantastic." said Billt. "What did he do this time?"

"I wasn't aware that he did anything wrong in the first place." countered Cassie, trying to keep Reed's name pure.

"Oh. Backing up your Initiative buddies are we?" slashed Tommy.

Vision spoke. He was just of silent in the background. "Leave her alone."

"Shut up!" Kate yelled. Everyone including Belle turned to her. "Stop fighting all of you. What's in the past will stay in the past."

"Not in my book." grumbled Teddy.

"Same here." agreed Billy, backing up his boyfriend.

Belle shook her head. "Do you guys always fight?"

"No." Eli said. "It's just Speed. It's always his fault."

Belle laughed musically, "I can see why."

"Oi!" said Tommy. He looked at Belle who was looking right back at him. Billy could see the connection between them. Great.

"So, Belle. Susan wanted is to find you. Do you know why?" Cassie asked, changing the attention off her and her sort of betrayal.

Belle gave the Young Avengers a bitter look. She turned briskly away and headed outside.

"Belle!" Tommy called out after her. He would of chased after her, but he must of sensed her distress.

"Leave it. I need time to cool off." she called back, not turning her head to talk.

Kate looked at Eli. "Okay I'm confused, what the hell is going on." she turned to Tommy, "And you just drooling over her like a sick puppy."

Tommy didn't react to her statement. "I don't know, there's something about her. I mean what person can be a speedster, torch things up, climb walls like spider-man and control force-fields?"

Teddy nodded in agreement "She really hates Mr. Richards. Like really hates him."

"Why don't we just ask her? Susan was really worried about her." Billy added.

Vision was staring out into the distance. Cassie had her hand on his arm. "You okay?" she asked.

"Project 2512125," Vision said, he was searching his database. "A genetic project completed by Mr Reed Richards during the Civil War."

The team looked at him. "And?" Eli said.

"That is all." Vision stated. "My memory doesn't go any further. It must of been extremely top secret."

"Damn it!" Eli said angrily. "What are we even doing here?"

"Your here to help me." a voice said. Tommy and the others turned to see Belle standing behind them. The black of her boots glinted in the little light the warehouse had.

"Help you?" Kate asked softly. She walked to her and put her arm around her shoulders. Belle didn't shake it off. She was looking at the ground.

The warehouse door creaked open to show Susan and Johnny. Billy's eyes lighted up like a delighted fan-boy. It wasn't every day that 2 of the Fantastic Four were in front of you.

"Belle?" Johnny Storm whispered as he walked up to her. The Young Avengers stood back, trying to pick up anything that would give a clue to who the mysterious girl was.

"Leave me alone." she said as she walked over to Eli and Teddy.

"Why don't you want to talk to us?" Susan pleaded as she walked in after her brother. They were both in their Fantastic 4 costumes. "I told you to leave because Reed might of found you. Then I asked the Young Avengers-" she smiled at the team. "To find you. And it looks like they did."

"Why?" Belle snapped. "Why them?"

"Because they're going to help you," Susan said. "And we dont' know the extent of your powers. They can make use of them. Remember what happen with Tony? You blew up Avengers Tower for god's sake when you were 8, then Wanda had to fix it."

She blew up Stark Tower? thought Billy , And she's met my mother? Who is she?

"So what, your going to leave me with them?" Belle shouted at them. "So much for taking me away from Reed-"

"That's not true," argued Johnny, "Reed thinks your dead. And we intend it to stay that way."

The Young Avengers stood watching Belle, The Invisible Woman and The Human Torch shout about something none of them knew anything at all about.

"You can stay." Eli said, shocking Kate, Cassie, Teddy, Billy and Tommy. "We'd love to have you on the team."

Belle looked at the others. "What about them."

"No complaints from me." said Tommy, grinning.

"We'd love to have you." said Kate, "And I'm pretty sure everyone feels the same way."

"Welcome aboard." announced Teddy and Billy, hand in hand. Susan and Johnny gave both of them a skeptical look. Were they imagining what they were seeing?

"You mean it?" Belle whispered. "You don't even know me."

"Well," Kate said, "We didn't know Speed either, we just broke him out of Juvie." she shrugged.

"And your point is?" Tommy drawled, rolling his eyes.

"Juvie?" said Susan in shock. Tommy shrugged like having a criminal record was nothing.

"And I'd like to know more about your powers; they intrigue me." Vision said.

"Um sure." said Belle looking confused. "It's a long story."

"And you can stay at HQ. Speed moved in with Wiccan the other day." Kate announced. "And it looks like you've already got a costume." she pointed out Belle's black Lycra suit and black boots.

"Yeah." she tugged at it sheepishly, "Johnny got it for me. It's a highly durable costume composed of unstable molecules that shift to accommodate whatever form I happen to be in."

"Really? Billy said. He turned to look for Susan and Johnny. "Where did they go?"

"They left." stated Belle simply. "So in other words, I'm all yours."
