If you still think I own Marvel you need to read more closely.

Enjoy!

Chapter 6

11 MONTHS SINCE RESCUE

"No, never, absolutely not!" Coulson said.

"There has got to be another way!" Mel said.

I just stared at them with a knowing face. They kept denying my plan when they knew it was the only way.

"I am the only one who can get past the missiles without being detected and-" I started.

"You are also the one with the least amount of training."

"I know the facility."

"We can shoot guns."

"I won't be noticed."

"If we get noticed, we shoot."

"How are you going to get close enough to shoot?" I prompted, knowingly that that would stop our argument.

"We need to do something first." Simmons said.

"And what would that be?" Mel asked.

"We need to get Alex some flying lessons."

The first part of my lesson was not very fun. It consisted of me jumping off of a diving board in to a pool until I could glide.

The second part was more fun. I got to run as fast as I could and then try to take off. It ended with me on my face a couple of times but I finally got off the ground.

Now, the team was arguing about what I should do next. Trip, Mel, and Fitz all wanted me to jump of the cliff into the water. Skye and Simmons wanted me to practice a little more. Coulson looked very troubled.

Tired of hearing them argue, I walked over to the cliff's edge and looked down. It was about a 100 foot drop and clear ocean below. I looked out over the ocean and saw several seagulls flying. I watched how they swooped, dove, and circled. They looked peaceful and that nothing in the world could hurt them. I found myself being drawn to the group. As I was mesmerized by the birds I was slowly inching forward.

Then I had nothing less to inch forward on. I started falling, fast. I stayed clam, just like the seagulls, and unfurled my wings. I immediately slowed down.

By now I could hear the team yelling at me to try and land. I couldn't stop now, so I moved my wings up and down. I started to ascend so I angled my right wing down and banked to the right. I then tried it with my left wing. After a couple minutes of banking and swooping I headed back up to the top of the cliff.

I shot upward almost brushing the face of the cliff and when I was directly above the team, I dove. I heard Skye and Simmons squeal a little until I pulled up and set myself down.

There was complete and utter silence.

"Don't ever do that again." Coulson said, still getting over the fact that I had just jumped off a cliff.

"But you did it!" Fitz said.

"But still, don't ever do that again." Skye said in a scarily serious tone.

I barely processed any of what they were saying because I was still thinking about the wind going through my feathers as my powerful wings kept me aloft.

I had been preparing and training this whole week for the mission and I feel prepared.

I am scared as hell.

When I walk up the ramp to lift off to begin the mission I freeze up. I stop and Skye, who is right behind me, bumps into me and almost falls. I barely notice her until she kneels down in front of me.

"Alex? Are you okay?" she asks with a concerned look on her face.

"Just scared of going back there." I reply with a small voice.

"I was scared on my first mission too. But, I had my team there to help me."

"Even Ward?"

It took her awhile to answer but she said, "Even Ward."

She took my hand and walked with me up into the plane to where the team was waiting.

I wasn't as scared now, but if you were going back to the place where people tortured you, would be pretty scared too.

Hey guys!

I would like to say I appreciate the people who have followed and reviewed. The reason I havent't replied is because well some of them have been guests and I can't figure out how to. This is my first story and I don't know much about FanFiction. If you could tell me that would be great. Then I could reply back to you!:)

I am also sorry for not updating in awhile. My excuse is, you know, LIFE!

Please review so I can become better!

Question: Do you think an Avenger will die in Age of Ultron? If so, who?
