The Seven ✦ {Avengers}

Prologue

The fifth girl taken was a girl named Quinn Atkinson. Quinn was the owner of a Skyzone that was just North of Manhattan, which she sometimes skipped work to have some fun in her own building sometimes. Quinn was a taller girl with long curled lavender hair that was dyed sky blue at the ends. Her eyes were brown, and she was only twenty-three. Quinn was taken not because she was one of the six women that was being watched, but because she was out at a bar with a few friends, drank a little too much, and the girl picked a fight with the bouncer. Unfortunately, the bouncer was not truly a bouncer, but was an agent from HYDRA, watching another one of the six, which then turned to seven women, that night.

Lorelei Adams was the sixth. Lorelei was much harder to capture, as she was a world traveling humanitarian and journalist. They found her in Lagos, Nigeria and took her while she helping rebuild water systems for the city of Lagos. Lorelei was another taller girl with black hair and almost black eyes, and she was the same age as Beatrice. Lorelei's disappearance was also quiet, as no one heard her disappear, as she was taken while going to take a bathroom break.

The last woman to be taken was Lexi Hart. This girl was the hardest to capture, as she knew she was being watched the day that Quinn was taken. On the night that Quinn was taken at the bar, Lexi was working that night at the bar, as a bartender. When Quinn was fighting with the bouncer, Lexi saw an interesting tattoo on his right arm. Lexi went over to break up the fight, but before she could, the bouncer and Quinn were gone, and they didn't return. She also noticed that many of the guests she was serving that night were overly questioning of her life, and all of them who were had the same tattoo. That's when she knew was being followed. Lexi had been on the run and was hiding in Montreal, Canada for about a week before she was finally found and taken from a dark alleyway, where she had tried to fight off the HYDRA agents. Lexi was a taller girl. She was twenty-four and had long curled blonde hair and big blue eyes.

After a few more weeks, the seven women had been tortured, wiped, tested on, and eventually were turned into HYDRA's new assets. But not for long. After causing terrorist attacks in England, Germany, France, and America, SHIELD agents finally connected the missing American women to the attacks. Director of SHIELD Nick Fury and Agent Maria Hill were set on freeing these women, and hopefully rehabilitating them back to their old lives. So they sent the Avengers on a rescue mission for the seven of them.

It was a successful mission, but there was a small problem. The heroes brought the women to the SHIELD lab to run some tests, and discovered that they all had incredible abilities given to them by HYDRA's scientists. Fury and Hill decided it'd be best to meet up with the Avengers to talk about the girls.

"So what's the problem?" Steve Rogers asked his coworkers.

"We can't just send them back to their old lives." Maria Hill told them begrudgingly.

"It's not like HYDRA is still able to give people abilities, we took all of their serum." Bruce replied.

"That's exactly what they did. Every single one of these women now has powers, similar to how Wanda got hers," Hill deflected his assumption.

"Oh, double double toil and trouble, we now have seven more witches on our hands?" Tony snarked.

"Precisely, Mr. Stark. So we're going to propose an idea," Fury said with a smirk "we want them to become apart of the Avengers."

"Why do I feel like I'm about to be apart of a fem-cult novel?" Tony groaned.

"Hold on, this could be a good thing. Our team is already quite large in size, but most of the others do not live in the tower with us. So they are only called upon for help for the big stuff, like New York or Sokovia." Thor sided with Fury and Hill.

"So they're going to live with us?" Clint asked.

"Yes, and just like you guys, they'll get a monthly check up with the doctors, but they, along with Sergeant Barnes, will get a weekly therapy session, while you guys will still go monthly. You guys are going to train them, and help rehabilitate them back to health. If you read their files, I think some of you will appreciate some of their previous jobs and skill sets," Hill explained, sliding the files across the table to Steve.

"I'm excited that we're going to get more girls around here, I'm getting sick of just one woman to share my love of New Girl with." Natasha said with glee. All the men in the room just rolled their eyes.

"When are they coming to the tower?" Natasha asked Fury.

"They're all unconscious right now, but we have agents dropping them off to the tower in a few minutes. Tony, which floors would like them to stay on?"

"Seriously? You don't even consult me before just letting seven new people whom I've never met, live in my house?!" Tony scowled at Fury and Hill.

"Yeah, pretty much." Hill shrugged.

"Fine. One pair per floor, and the rest in one group of three. All of them should be on the closest available floors to the top. Easy,"

"Done. You're dismissed." Fury finished and sent them on their way. Tony brusquely left the room, and was followed by Steve, Natasha, Bruce, Clint and Thor to the parking garage.

"I can't believe that Fury and Hill are just going to make us parent seven women into the newest assets to the team." Tony grumped.

"I wouldn't be complaining if I were you, that's seven women for you to try and screw." Natasha smirked at him while walking towards one of the cars.

"Are you crazy, Nat? Have you seen the ages of these girls? The oldest ones are only twenty-six!" Steve argued.

"So what? They can make their own decision about it once training is done." Bruce backed her up." Bruce backed her up.

"The rest of us are going to be confused when a bunch of SHIELD agents just waltz right into the tower with a bunch of women on gurneys, so why don't we get our asses moving?" Clint suggested sarcastically.

"An excellent plan, Clint." Thor agreed. "You have their files, right Steve?"

"I got them. Hill and Fury also sent them to us via email. Get FRIDAY to read them to you in the car," Steve replied.

"Good, because I know we're all going to want to read them and find out who exactly these women are, rather than just straight up asking them when they wake up," Tony's comment rolled off his tongue.

"Shut up, I prefer to know who I'm talking beforehand." Natasha playfully punched him for the roast. They got into their cars, and began to drive towards what they called home, the Avengers Tower.
