A teenage boy emerges from the shadows; he looks like one himself. A crescent moon shines brightly above his head, illuminating the two flowers he holds in his hands. The grass crunches beneath his boots, responding to his emotions and withering wherever he steps. The boy walks past a sign reading 'The Heroes' Resting Place', and heads directly towards two gravestones at the edge of the clearing. One is older than the other, patches of moss growing on the back of it. It reads: Here lies Bianca di Angelo, loving sister, daughter and hunter. The boy dressed in black places a single red rose in front of his sister's honorary grave, kissing two of his fingers and touching the top of the cold stone.
He turns and kneels in front of a grave that was placed more recently. It reads: Here lies Will Solace, loving brother, son and boyfriend. The boy's face is tight with suppressed emotion as he places a bright yellow daffodil the colour of the sun in front of the grave. He repeats the motion, kissing his fingers and pressing them onto Will's grave. He stands, allowing only a single tear to fall from his eye before walking off and disappearing into the forest.
The Avengers gathered in one of SHIELD's meeting rooms at 10am at the order of Director Nick Fury. The eight of them sat in comfortable silence, sipping on coffee or nibbling on a biscuit. 5 minutes later, Director Fury strode into the room carrying a stack of files. He immediately launched into an announcement, passing around the files. "There have been reports of strange activity around Long Island Sound. I've sent a field op team to investigate, but they only found a 'Delphi Strawberry Service' farm, surrounded by forest." The team opened their files to show an image of this so-called Delphi Strawberry Service.
"However," He continued. "A strawberry farm is not why I brought you guys together. Agents scouting the area found a small graveyard in a clearing about half a mile away from the farm. A boy dressed in black visits the graves of Bianca di Angelo and Will Solace every day at midnight–" Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes both shared a look at the name 'Bianca di Angelo', but no one noticed. "–and places flowers by their graves. Facial recognition doesn't work on him, and there are no files on Bianca di Angelo or Will Solace." It was true. The files given to them had research details, but results came up empty. "If any of you know anything about either of these three individuals, feel free to share them with the rest of us." Fury raised an eyebrow at the group.
"I've never heard of them," Nat stated. Wanda and Clint nodded in agreement.
"They do not appear to be Asgardians," Thor chimed in.
"I'll search through the city's records–" Tony pulled out his phone, but Steve stopped him.
"No need," He grimaced, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Are you saying you have information on this boy, Captain?" Fury asked. Steve nodded.
"His name's Nico di Angelo, Bianca's brother. We were best friends when we were younger. Bucky and I both had a crush on his sister Bianca, but we were all friends back in the day," Bucky let out a laugh, the two super soldiers reminiscing about the good old days.
"But that must have been 80 years ago," Bruce said. Fury nodded.
"Doctor Banner has a point. How come this Nico character is still alive?" Bucky took over.
"I don't know, but the two of them disappeared when we were 10, I don't know where or why though,"
"Well we better find out,"
