I was born in Bulgaria, 1991. My biological parents were killed in a terrorist attack when I was a year old. My mother was English, and my father was Bulgarian. After their death, my mothers best friend and her husband adopted me as their own. They took me to England with them and I lived there for most of my life. I graduated from high school when I was 9 and from Cambridge at 13. I studied to become an astrophysisist. After my graduation, I moved with my adoptive parents to America to work for NASA. 8 years later, at the age of 21 I was recruited by SHIELD to study the tesseract and find out whatever I can about it.

I worked alongside Erik Selvig and became close friends with Clint Barton. The day that the tesseract was stolen, I was with Selvig when Fury came in and we explained to him that the tesseract was behaving strangely. The cube started lighting up and from it came a ray of blue light and when it diminished, in it's place was a man with slicked back black hair and green, black, and gold clothing. My eyes widened, I knew who he was, Selvig had told me stories of Thor and his brother Loki. And a friend who I went to Cambridge with was Norwegian and she told me all about Norse mythology. The man standing at the far end of the room was Loki, the God of mischief and lies. Some agents advanced on him with guns and Fury told him to put down the spear. He looked at it before shooting blue light, similar to that from the tesseract, forward. The agents along with Fury fell to the ground and so did I. Loki got down from the platform and walked to Clint, he placed his spear over Clint's heart and blue light came from it and went to Clint's eyes. The man was not Clint anymore. I stayed by Fury, and Loki put Selvig under his spell as well. I knew that the building was gonna blow any minute. I wasnt able to get up, the last thing I saw was Fury walking away before I fell into darkness.

I opened my eyes to see bright light streaming from the windows. I blinked and saw that I was in a room that was not mine and it looked like a hospital room. I sat up slowly and looked around better. The door opened and in came Coulson. "Ugh, what happened?" I asked him holding my pounding head. 'I can't tell her about her hair, eyes and nails. Just act normal and smile, tell her it was just an accident at the building' I heard coulson's voice say but his mouth wasn't open. I realised that it was in my head and it was his thoughts. "What about my hair, eyes, and nails?" I asked him. The smile fell off his face. "I didn't say anything about that" he said trying to act like he had never thought about it. "You didn't, I read your mind. Guess the tesseract did more than we thought. So what is about my hair and eyes?" I asked him, putting a fake smile on my face. "Uhh, here" he said, taking a small mirror out from his pocket and handing it to me. I looked in the mirror to see myself with a tan that I've never had before because my skin just didn't like sunlight. My hair was now a bright blue, the color of the tesseract. My eyes had changed from brown to a blue of the same shade. I looked down at my nails to see that they were blue as well and looked to be glowing even in the sunlight. I looked almost completely different, except that my face structure was pretty much the same, but as I looked at my arms I saw lean biceps that were never there before.

I told coulson to leave me to get dressed. There was a clean change of clothes on a chair. The clothes were the same from before, but they had been washed. I put on the clothes and brushed my hair using the small mirror that coulson left for me. I didn't have any makeup to put on, so I just opened the door and walked out. Coulson was waiting outside. As we walked through the halls I noticed that we were in the hellicarrier that Fury had talked about. Coulson took me to the bridge, where I saw Fury and a woman talking, and Fury was standing on a platform surrounded by screens. I could read the minds of every person in the room. Ever since I had woken up I felt like there was so much more that I knew but I didn't realise it until now. I knew that I had powers and I knew how to use them.

Fury noticed that Coulson and I had entered the room. He walked off his platform and towards us. "I see that you have made a complete recovery Dr.Knightley" said Fury and I shook his hand. "Thank you, Director Fury. But what actually happened to me at the facility?" I asked him. "When the tesseract energy took down the facility, you were still inside and the energy from it went on to you, which explains the new look and your powers" he said as he lead me to a table and told me to take a seat.Coulson must have told him while I got dressed. "I believe you know about the Avengers Initiative" he said and opened up a file with my name and picture on it. "Yes" I said and he handed the file to me. "Good the files of your new teammates are in there along with your own, we will give them your file when we have the first meeting" he said as I skimmed through all the files of information that I already knew from Fury's mind. "Coulson is gonna go get Captain Steve Rogers and soon Agent Romanoff and Dr. Banner will be here, you could help Dr.Banner and Mr.Stark with tracking the tesseract if you want" he said and I nodded. I decided to use my powers to prank some agents because I was bored. When one agent was about to sit down, I used my Telekinesis to move the chair and he fell on the floor. Everyone started laughing including me. I even made a portal for an agent who wasn't paying attention while walking and was looking at a file, and made him walk out of the portal and right into a wall at the other side of the room. When he ran into the wall, I snickered under my breath. It went on like that for about an hour, until Fury finally realised it was me and told me to stop. At that same moment, Coulson, Captain Rogers, Dr.Banner, and Romanoff walked through the door. Captain handed Fury a 10 dollar bill and Banner looked around. I went up to Banner and made small talk. "So I heard that you're here to track the tesseract" I said as I stood beside him."Yes, I believe so, Why?" He asked. "Well, Fury said I could help if I wanted to and I wanted to ask you if that was OK?"I asked him. "It's fine, but don't you look a little young to be an astrophysisist?" He asked me. "I graduated from Cambridge at 13 with a degree in astrophysics" I said, then I put out my hand for him to shake "I'm Dr. Blair Knightley" I said and he shook my hand. "Dr. Bruce Banner" he said after we had dropped our hands. "Pleasure to meet you Dr.Banner, I loved your work in gamma radiation, I believe I may know how to fix it so it could be a replica of the super soldier serum" I said. "Pleasure is all mine, maybe after all of this is over, we could work together" he said and we walked towards Fury. Bruce and Fury started talking but I wasn't paying attention.
