Second chapter, the rest of the chapters should be coming out every few days or every week... what ever!
I had totally forgotten today I was going to be given a test to see if I was ready to become an Avenger.
Six years ago, when my parents where killed in that storm, I had found my powers. I was able to use telekinesis, and when my sister was sliding away from me I panicked and the power bloomed from me, in a way. After that my sister and I where put in many different foster homes and even a few orphanages, but every time we got a new home the parents where scared away because I would slip up and use my powers.
And then, one day, a man had come to me and told me about the Avengers, he said that I was too young at that time, but I would train and when I was old enough I would take a test. So I went with them, but, they didn't let Cindy come with us and I had a little bit of a tantrum, but finally Cindy had shaken her head and said, "Your the freak, you should go with them. Maybe then I can find a loving family that will keep me for longer then a week."
That had broken my hart and only then I went with them, it was true though, the only reason that Cindy was wearing old clothes and not new, was because I kept driving the families away, she wasn't the different one, I was.
And so I went, and I never heard about her again. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks and I wiped them away as I walked over to my closet. For the past six years I had lived on the helicarrier, and in various places with S.H.I.E.L.D, so I was used to having my room change a lot. This time it was small and plain, but I liked it that way, so that if we have to move again soon, I won't have gotten attached.
I pulled out the S.H.I.E.L.D regulation uniform (a blue and black padded, cat suit with the S.H.I.E.L.D emblem on the arms) and a black tank top and biking shorts for underneath the suit. I laid them out on the bed and stepped into the bathroom for a quick shower, when I got out I ran a hand threw my short hair, it was like a boys cut, bangs reaching my eyes (but I took care of that with some hair gel) and the hair getting shorter as it went down my neck.
I dried my hair quickly seeing as there wasn't much of it to dry, then I went back into the other room and got dressed. Just as I finished I heard a knock on my door, I went to open it but stopped and walked slowly behind the door and opened it from behind.
A man jumped in, apparently he had tried to do a surprise-attack, but I new better. I jumped out from where I was hiding with a little "whoop" and landed on the mans back, hanging on to him piggy-back style.
Clint Barton laughed and reached around to hoist me up into a more comfortable position, "well done, Ace, you ready for today?" he asked, a trace of worry in his voice.
"Yeah I'm ready, now ON WARD!" I said as I pointed out the door. Clint had been like an older brother to me ever since I showed up here, crying and shy.
The second day I had been playing with a deck of cards, but I had messed up and the cards went flying, and one of the cards, the Ace of Spades, had decided to fly much higher and hit Clint in the face as he walked in. From then on when ever we where joking around he called me either Ace or Spades.
Clint rolled his eyes and made a noise like a horse as he skipped out of the room with me still on his back, "wanna get breakfast first?" Clint asked
"No," I replied slowly.
"Well too bad, cuz you need to eat something!" he said back and turned the corner to the small kitchens that were there.
But as we turned the corner we bumped into someone, a certain red haired, black suited someone. Clint slowly let me down from his back as he got a very questioning look from Natasha Romanoff who had been heading back from the kitchen.
"Whats up…" I said slowly
Natasha smiled slightly and shock her head at us, "you two are inseparable" she laughed and then continued down the hall.
Clint looked after her until I nudged him in the side, "So, have you asked her out yet?"
Clint went scarlet and shook his head as he turned to the kitchen, I laughed and followed.
When we got there we both started looting the fridge and the cupboards to find something to eat. I settled with a boll of cereal and an apple. Clint went with the ever popular breakfast food "half eaten cheeseburger" and took a seat down beside me at one of the small tables in the kitchen to enjoy his breakfast.
"Troublesleeping?" Clint asked gesturing to my eyes which where slightly red and heavily bagged.
"Yeah, I guess," I said trying not to get Clint started on another rant about how I should take better care of myself.
Just when it looked like he was going to, the intercom went off with a message, "All Avengers, and Agent Sarah Stilt please come to the gymnasium for your test." and with that it crackled back off.
"That's us," Clint said, " Come along, Agent Sarah Stilt" He said trying to copy how the nasally woman on the intercom had said my name. I smiled and followed him down into the basement where the gym was.
Well, that's a lighter chapter for you all!
