WANDA

Eyes locked and shoulders squared, young Wanda Maximoff took in a deep breath before nodding her head. She looked up from the overly polished floor of the training room to the observers room, to where the elite stood watching, waiting. She could see them all clearly, arms folded as they waited. At her sides her fingers flexed, the red energy flowing from her in a curling motion. Wanda peeled her blue eyes away from the experienced Avengers and back to the heavily padded agent who stood ready to strike. She watched, waiting, knowing her reactions were being put to the test and ready to not fail. Lifting her head, the messy bun of her hair fell back a little. And just as she blinked the agent made his move, and smashed the black-out bomb onto the floor.

Immediately darkness took over, thick black smoke which stole away any light. Wanda would have panicked, but she forced her mind to concentrate and her arms stretched out wide. From her fingers the red energy poured, her eyes burning a brilliant red as the energy moved to the corners of the room. As powerful as a crashing wave the redness spread, encasing the walls of black smoke, forcing it inwards, compacting it. Her jaw was clenched and her eyes stern as she moved, her body urging the redness to squash down the wall. She could feel the power of her spell inside of her, the test spreading beneath her skin, testing her resolve. But she did not falter, her power gathering all of the smoke in its grasp.

Leaning back and moving into a lunge position, she put all her weight onto her back leg as her body curved. Her arms rose, with it her hands guided the matter before her from the floor and up towards the waiting extraction fan. Though far from exhausted she could feel the power surging through her, teetering on that edge once more. Her powers had been described as potentially dangerous, and it took a great deal of control for it not to overcome her. But she did not fail today and with a final grunt she expelled the matter from her grasp and watched as it was sent up through the extractor, and watched the seal close.

Wanda sighed as she straightened up, pulling the camisole vest back down over her exposed midriff. From the corner of her eye she saw the nods of approval and from the end of the room the agent gave her thumbs up. Wanda nodded once more and she turned to leave the training room, when those who had been watching filtered through. Though she stilled her journey, she had a strong desire to retreat to her room.

It had been a month since she had lain Pietro to rest, and though outwardly she looked to be doing fine, inside she remained a wreck. All of the Avengers had been incredible in their support, and had helped her into the routine of training to help with her powers; she felt no real connection with anyone, aside from one. Most here was naturally equipped, through training and protocol. Of course Steve was enhanced, but as it was his task to train the new recruits, he was always far too busy, or appeared so to be bothered by her. The only one she could ally with was Vision or Vis as she affectionately called him. But even so, he was now 34 days old, and though magnificent he was incredibly removed from the burden of human emotions. There was only one she could really talk too, one who she had become increasingly more fond of, and that was the mighty Thor.

CLINT

Clint stood behind the glass, looking down to Wanda as she readied herself to take on another task. This far she had taken on everything they had thrown at her, and though remarkable in her talents, the team remained somewhat concerned about her withdrawal. Clint carried a burden there too, almost feeling guilty for her solitude. Once all she had had was her brother Pietro, and it had been for Clint that her brother had sacrificed himself. She held no hate for him because of this, but Clint remained heavy of conscious.

“What are they throwing at her this time?” He asked as he leaned forwards, his hands resting on the barrier.

“Smoke bomb” Replied Steve from his seat.

Clint nodded and looked back round, straightening up and crossing muscled arms across his broad chest, watching. And it was with an impressed whistle he smiled as the Witch completed the task, sending the smoke through the ceiling and away. It had taken her less than a minute to act and without hesitation, and almost like a proud father Clint looked back to Steve. “She’s ready” which was met with a nod.

Following the soldier down to the training room, Clint nodded once to her but his blue eyes were alive with contentment as Steve clasped her on the shoulder. “Well, that was your final” Clint joked to the young woman.

“And?” Wanda replied, not entirely hiding that hope in her eyes.

“You’re officially an Avenger” Steve said with a smile, which was followed with a laugh as Wanda almost squealed in delight.

Steve was called aside by someone, and excused himself leaving Clint alone with Wanda. The pair wasted no time in getting out of the training room, and Clint pulled out his phone checking the screen, and scowled a little when he saw nothing on display. “Have you not asked her for a date yet?” Wanda asked with a smirk, causing Clint to startle.

“Huh? Who?” He asked a quick attempt to look completely dumbfounded. But this was met with another giggle from Wanda as her index finger tapped at her temple.

“Do you forget I can read your mind?” Wanda replied, as they made their way towards the housing part of the vast Avengers building. Here Clint looked affronted, though it lacked any real form of anger as he opened and closed his mouth, before shaking his head. When he gave no reply Wanda walked off, but was shouted after by Clint.

“You know it’s rude to enter someone’s mind without permission” but he was met by a simple wave of her hand as she vanished from sight, leaving Clint with serious food for thought.

He had kept his true feelings a secret, never letting their relationship develop beyond that of best friends for as long as they had been employed. But it was getting harder and harder for Clint to deny how he really felt about Natasha. It was beyond the limits of affection, and he loved her dearly. People had made comments and jokes, and they would always laugh it off, but nothing had ever come of it. Hawkeye was no timid nor shy, but he was hesitant to act for fear of ruining anything.

Clint sighed and made his way into the communal dining area and poured himself out a more than generous serving of scotch, mind fully consumed by Natasha.

MADISON

As she awoke from the long slumber, Madison stretched and rolled over, and she looked to the window on the other side of the room. Outside was glum and grey, and she had to wonder if she really had left England? She sighed and slid her arms under the pillow and buried her face in it for a few more moments. She had been in Forks, Washington, America for only seven days, and already she pined for home. Chloe had had to leave the UK when her Father decided to get engaged to his American girlfriend and move them across the Atlantic. Her mother had died when she was young, and having just turned 17 Madison, or Maddie, had little choice. Her plans were too finish school here, save up and move back to England. It wasn't like they had moved somewhere warm and exciting, it was basically American's version of England here! She had seen nothing but rain and grey clouds since arriving. It was with an annoyed grunt that she remembered she had school today, her first day at an American school. She wondered briefly if American schools were as cliquey as they seemed on the TV. "Maddie... time to get up" came the rap at the door, and the voice of her dad's wife-to-be. She grumbled in response and lay for a few more moments, before kicking off the quilt, but falling to the floor with a spectacular thump when her leg caught in the cover.

She washed and scrubbed, and after double checking the weather outside she dressed herself. Her choice of attire for the day was a pair of tight skinny jeans teamed with below the knee brown boots. On top she wore a long vest, and an off the shoulder cream jumper. She combed her hand through her hair which was in its usual state of loose waves and pushed it over her shoulder. A quick slick of mascara to her lengthy lashes before spritzing herself with her favourite scent, and Maddie finally deemed herself ready. Still with an unhappy disposition about her, the blonde picked up the large slouch bag and her khaki parka coat, before heading down for breakfast.

After forcing down half a round of toast and a little bit of fruit, Maddie could put off leaving no longer. She had driven to the school, Forks High, twice just to ensure that she knew the way, but knowing her she would still probably get lost. Her father had gotten her a black Honda Civic to try and ease her into life here, but she wasn't too great at driving on the other side of the road and the lack of roundabouts, so another reason for leaving early was the emptier roads meant there was a lesser chance of an accident. Turning up the music a little too loud and with her foot a little heavier than it should have been, Maddie broke her first speed limit within five minutes and had to force herself to ease off the gas a little, her heavy foot bringing an amused smile to her face.

Arriving at the school, the car park was slowly filling up. Maddie made the quick decision to take a spot at the back of the carpark, so as to not embarass herself with trying to park. She killed the engine and sighed, before pulling her phone out of her bag. Looking at the Facebook app she saw a little red 15 over it. Smiling she clicked open the app and read the messages from her dearest and closest, and it managed to ease the knot in her stomach. She clicked onto the Status before typing something in.

First day at U.S.A high. Here we go

She got out of the car and looked towards the school that bore the name Forks High School. It was the complete opposite of anything she was used to, and the car park was already filling with friends reuniting. Maddie had been told there had been a merge, and that some students from another school would be attending. The admisions lady had hoped it would cheer her up a little and make her first day less daunting, it hadn't worked. Though Maddie was of a social and confident nature, she was now going to be the English girl in America. Yanking her hood over her head Maddie made for inside, temporarily ignoring all the looks and whispers as she passed.

EDWARD

Another year, another repeat, it was always the same. Edward had found himself living the same almost monotonous routine for as long as he could remember. It was their way of living as normal a life as possible, his family’s way of belonging and staying as close to their human side as they could. Living as adoptive son, Edward was the youngest Cullen to live with Dr Cullen and his wife. As the rumour had it, Rosalie and Jasper were twins and Emmett was the eldest of all of them. Doctor Cullen was the love of Forks, a man with such a heart and kind way; he was a man Edward so deeply admired. It was because of Carlisle that Edward had adopted this lifestyle, taking the Vegetarian path and no longer touching human blood. He had slipped up a few times, but now he was almost impervious to the lure of human blood. But it wasn’t so easy for some, and the thought that entered his mind was not a strange one.

The thing with Vampires, were often gifted with powers much beyond that of Vampire enhancements. What talents or traits you had as a human were oft brought through to this next life. Emmett had been remarkably strong as a human; he was now the strongest Vampire he knew. Carlisle was completely unaffected by blood and had complete control, his expertise helping him to save those who would otherwise be lost. Esme had boundless compassion and heart, and loved all so tenderly. But there were two Cullen’s whose talents went beyond that of intelligence and love, and that was he and Jasper. Edward had been able to read people in his human life, and once transformed this had progressed to him being able to read people’s minds. He could hear the thoughts of everyone and could even track someone from far away. It worked to his families advantage, he was able to protect them or sense when someone was in danger, or when someone struggled.

And that was what he heard now, and his golden eyes flicked to the review to behold Jasper in his usual frozen state. Jasper was the newest member of the Cullen clan, and his nature led him to struggle the most with the blood lure. Edward and Jasper were close, united in their mutual bachelor status. But Edward was also able to help Jasper, or distract him whenever he would falter.

Emmett and Rose began their usual routine, pawing at one another until Edward whipped his head around and looked at the pair of them. “Take it outside” he said with an agitated roll of the eyes, returned by an equally snappy expression from Rosalie. When the couple got out, Edward picked up his rucksack he too followed, moving round to Jasper under the guise of checking his tyre. “You all right?” He asked so quietly that only Vampire ears could pick it up.

As he turned around, a breeze disrupted the flow of the rain. A scent unlike anything he had ever experienced caused his jaw to square off, a hard edge taking to the perfectly chiselled features on his handsome face. His hand on the car had changed to a light support and was actually starting to dent the car, the metal crumpling underneath his balled fist.
