“Maybe he didn’t fight with them on Earth, but he did fight with them to save Earth. If that’s not the answer you’re looking for, than I’m sorry. At the moment, I can’t give straight answers. Weirdly enough, I just really wanna see someone getting struck by a lightning bolt.”
Fenris shrugged it off and went back to glaring at Nick Fury.
Her eyes darkened, as did her mood. She glared at Nick Fury, Maria Hill and Coral Maximoff and then stood up from her seat. “Well, this has been all fun and all, but if you excuse me, I have places to be and things to do. Thank you for your time.”
"Just curious," Fenris said, relaxing his shoulders slightly, "What would we get from it if we signed on? What's in it for us?"
Coral shot out magic and made Azula stop in her tracks. She didn't like doing it but Fury often made her do what she needed to do to keep someone on track.
"I'm sorry," She mouthed to Azula.
"Well, Fenris," Fury started. "Fame. Glory. Money. Power. But that's not what you want, is it? None of you want this. You all want to be left alone. So how about this. You guys stay under contract for one month. One month! That's all I'm asking. And then you can be as free as a bird."
"I'll do two weeks," Luke said, crossing his arms. Rage boiled through him as that Maximoff girl made Azula stop, holding her against her will. If there was anything that was going for being an Avenger, anything good with this, that action had just made him lose it. There was nothing good about the Avengers, and this was why he should have run away when he could. "Not a month."
Azula hadn’t realized how horrible the man behind the Avengers was until today. The droplets of water slowly started transforming into pieces of hail, falling down onto the land, threatening to break the windows of the cars. She didn’t care if Coral was sorry or not, but she didn’t like it one bit that she was stopped. She sighed and tried her best to look at Nick Fury. “I’m only going to do three weeks. That’s it. No more than three weeks. If you don’t like it, well than that’s to bad.”
"Fine! Fine. But you can't leave now. Your training has already started." Coral let Azula go, shrinking back into herself. "Romanoff!"
A boy stood up in the back of the room, one that no one had seen when they entered or during the whole debacle. He had dark skin with a littering of freckles, his black hair dyed pale pink on top. Coral visibly relaxed at the sight of him.
Azula sat down on the chair and sighed. She rubbed her temples and looked at the ground, not hearing the screams of the people that were getting hit by the hail. She looked up and looked at the back of the room where the boy was. “Who’s he?”
"My name is Levi. Levi Romanoff. I'm sure you know my mother, or even my father. Perhaps not by appearance, but by name. After all, there's only one assassin with the last name of Romanoff."
Fenris stood up quickly and moved so his back was against the wall. "And you're here to…?"
"Train you, like Fury said. Train you to fight and use your powers to your advantage. It's gonna be hard but it's a necessary thing to learn it."
“Oh. Well, it’s nice to meet you, Levi. I’m Azula. Azula Thorsdottir.” She paused and then started fiddling with her fingers. She looked at Levi and smiled warmly at him. “Um. . . No.” She then frowned and looked at a window.
"And why exactly are you here, right now?" Fenris asked. He was in a bad mood now and couldn't wait to see Loki again. So he could yell at him.
"Because you're part of the squad. Effective immediately. Meaning you're training. Now. Get up."
"I'm already up." Fenris growled, gesturing to the fact that he was indeed standing.
Azula started laughing and wiped a imaginary tear from her eye. She looked at Levi and narrowed her eyes at him. “Of course I’m not going to stand up. You can’t make me. No one can make me stand up.”
Coral spoke up. "I could…but I'm not going to. I think that we should listen to Levi. We've got nothing better to do anyway, were stuck here for a while."
“Oh, yes. Listen to the boy I just met about twenty five seconds ago and completely trust him, just for him to later betray all of us and turn us into the bad guy. Yeah, sure, let’s do that, because why not?”
Levi sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "You do realise that I'm here to help you? Whether you like it or not, I'm on your side. The side that wants to help people and not destroy them. The only thing I want to do is help you guys achieve that."
"Why us? Why not you?" Fenris blurted. "I'll listen to you but I still don't why it had to be us."
"I work alone. That's my job at S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm one of the people who works by themselves. I'm also one of the trainers who works with new recruits. AKA you guys."
Fenris nodded shortly then leaned his head back against the wall and closed his eyes. When he looked back at the room, he said "Okay, but it better not be structured like a school, I don't do well in schools."
Azula stood up from the chair she was sitting on and groaned. She walked around the room and then stopped at a corner. “Schools are the worst. . .School. . shit. .” She said as she slumped to the ground and facepalmed.
"What happened at your school?" Fenris asked. "Or were you just a bad student." He flashed a white, fanged grin.
