Enjoy!
Disclaimer: No Avengers ….yet.
Then she felt a needle probe against her skin, a deep blue liquid injected in her vein, coursing throughout her body.
Eve knew it was a night terror, but she couldn't wake up.
She screamed, feeling as if knives were stabbing her insides.
Rolling in her sleep, eyes shut tight, cold sweat forming on her forehead.
Withering in her pain, a male stood away, grinning with a malicious manner.
Her father, she felt his eyes haunt her every day. His image burned onto her brain, scarred over and never intending to leave. He was far worse than monsters and spirits, he was the devil.
With more anger, she used the fire to incinerate the male along with the building.
She remembered the raging fires, the smell of her father's flesh burning her nostrils. When he turned to ashes, along with the building, the fire diminished. Stepping over the rubble, she walked down the lonely street, birds chirping and the rays of sun giving her warmth. As if the day seemed to mock her.
Finding a diner close by, she found a booth and sat alone, shooing away the waitress asking if she needed anything. All Eve wanted was to relax, to undo all the horrors that happened mere hours ago. Resting her head against the cool surface of the table, she didn't notice the man in a suit staring at her or when he walked up to sit across the young girl.
"Did you see what happened?" A deep voice interrupted the relaxation of the girl. Jumping slightly at the disturbance, ready to defend herself, she was surprised to see a man with an eye patch.
"Are you a pirate?" Eve curiously asked.
The man smiled, "No, my name is Fury and you are special."
Eve stared at the man for a moment, before glancing down at her lap.
"I'm a monster," The young girl whispered, clenching her fists.
Waking up with a jolt, Fury was standing beside her bed a worried expression plastered upon his face. Eve jumped out of her cot, hugging Fury tightly around his neck, crying on his shoulder. Fury stiffened, but returned the hug, comforting the girl.
The pirate man, Eve dubbed him, took her in a black car. Fury told her that he will take care of her for now on and he did.
Fury took her into a base where Eve stayed to wield her powers. The two became close despite how others thought Fury to be, well, heartless. Even though they had their clashes, they couldn't stay mad at each other, mainly due to Phil. Phil Coulson was the one whom always patched things up between the two fighting so much. As well as Fury, Phil became a close friend to Eve, telling her secrets and letting her take vacations despite Fury's objections.
With all the unfortunate events that happened to Eve, she was atleast glad to have people that she could trust.
"Ahem, Eve," Fury stated breaking the silence between them, "Let's go meet up with the team."
Eve nodded slowly, wiping the tears from her face. Fury gave her one last look before leaving her room.
She got dressed in her usual attire, heading out to the lab where Stark and Banner were. Eve wanted to know what the hell Loki was up to, hoping to end this madness. But upon getting closer to the door she heard shouting.
"-why SHEILD is using the tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction," Banner exclaimed.
Say what?
Eve entered the room, glancing at everyone there as they stare back at her.
"Fashionably late to the party sweetheart," Starks voice rang through the silence.
Ignoring the remark, Eve narrowed her eyes at Fury, "Weapons of mass destruction?"
Fury glanced at her than pointed at Thor, "Because of him."
Thor, shocked, pointed at himself, "Me?"
Fury stepped towards him, "Last year you came with power that outweighs ours. We were hopelessly outgunned by our …visitor."
"We want nothing but peace with this planet," Thor said, shaking his head at the nonsense.
"Peace? Is war your definition of peace," Natasha questioned the demi god; Thor shot his gaze over at her, glaring.
Tuning them out, Eve shut her eyes, their arguments towards one another started to jumble up. She then felt a hand wrap around her arm, jerking slightly, she gazed up at the owner of the hand.
Steve looked down at her with worry, "You okay?"
"Peachy," Eve mumbled glancing around the room.
"And humans were thought to be more evolved," Thor scoffed, everyone turning to glare at him.
"At least we don't go around to other planets, blowing shit up," Stark retorted.
Again, the arguments broke out, Steve being dragged along with it. Eve glanced pleadingly around the room. She knew this is what Loki wanted, to cause this chaos between one another.
"SHEILD monitors potential threats," Natasha said incredulously towards us.
Eve glared at Fury.
"I'm a potential threat?" She questioned.
"Well yes," Fury began, "just like everyone else."
Eve scoffed at the answer, "So much for trust, huh?"
Fury glared at her, "That's not it-"
"Then what is it!" Eve bellowed, sizing the director up. Madness then ensued, anger boiled throughout Eve, she would have never thought of betraying Fury's trust, but the man thought otherwise.
"You speak of control, yet you court chaos!" Thor said, his hands gesturing towards our arguments.
"What are we a team? No, we are a time bomb ticking away," Banner hissed.
Fury glanced away from me to Banner, "You need to step away."
"What's wrong with a guy letting off a little steam?" Tony jumped into the conversation.
Steve scoffed beside Eve, "You know damn well why!"
Eve took in a deep breath, attempting to calm her nerves, closing her eyes tightly.
"Put on the suit," Steve told Stark, "Let's go for a few rounds."
"Steve," Eve whispered, placing her hand on his forearm. Steve glanced down at the woman, his anger dissipating slightly.
"Romanoff," Fury started, "Please take Doctor Banner to his room."
"For what?" Banner spat, "You rented my room."
"Just as a precaution-" Fury started.
"In case you needed to kill me," Banner growled, "but you can't, I tried."
Eve's eyes snapped away from Steve towards Banner.
"I got low," The doctor explained, shoving his hands in his pocket, "I didn't see an end, so I put a bullet in my mouth and the other guy spit it out." The silence closed in, "So I moved on. I focused on helping other people. I was good until you dragged me back into this freak show, and put everyone here at risk."
Banner walked over to Natasha, slowly, with the scepter in his hand. Steve pushed Eve behind him, acting as a protective barrier around her, "You want to know my secret, Agent Romanoff? You want to know how I stay calm-"
Eve gripped onto the back of Steve's shirt as he spoke, "Doctor Banner, put the scepter down."
Banner looked down at his hand with shock, placing the scepter back where it was. Eve sighed into Steve's back, feeling him stiffen at the touch, not noticing just glad there weren't any fatalities.
Then a shrill ringing broke the silence, Banner ran to the screens.
"We found the tesseract," Banner started, tapping away at the keyboard.
"On it," Stark said, preparing to leave the room.
"You aren't going alone," Steve said, grabbing his arm.
"Are you going to stop me?" Stark scoffed, shaking off Steve's grip.
"Put on the suit," Steve hissed, glaring at him, "We'll find out."
"Guys!" Eve panicked, looking from the screen to the kids.
"Put on the suit," Steve repeated, ignoring the woman.
"Guys!" Eve yelled again, gaining everyone's attention.
"The tesseract… it's at-" She was cut off when an explosion caused the floor to give in.
Screaming enveloped her.
Sorry for the OOC-ness on Fury's part.
