Next Avengers:Next Generation

The List

Walking into the Gym's training area immediately James was greeted with the early morning sight of Sam up and at it in the training simulation

With the Inhumans, X-Men and Defenders all crashing at the Helicarrier along with the held S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents and Avengers along with Azari's Aunt. The flying ship was starting to get pretty crowded

Of course though James knew he'd find at least one person up early as today was definitely gonna be a busy one

Flipping over an incoming target Sam let out an angered grunt as he he swiped his hand shooting forth his steel winged blades destroying all incoming holographic targets

"Please don't tell me you've been here all night" James smirked with a light tease but Sam had paid no attention to him as he pulled a blade into his hand before spinning it within his fingertips

Immediately Sam went back to sparring against the Holograms even if you could call it that as to James it just looked like the Robots were getting overworked

But even more so James knew what was happening he's not only seen but done and quite literally mastered this act before. He was distracting himself within his training. Trying to find an accuse to mend his mind

But James knew better than anyone sometimes punching your anger out wasn't the best choice

Slash after slash Sam continued to pummel the holograms turning them to pure code and pixels and right before he was ready to stick his wing right between a Holograms face the simulation shut off only making the Hero trip on his feet and soon huff

Snapping back towards James the red head came to the training deck with a glint on his face

"Alright what's going on, because in about 3 hours were all about to start searching the earth for a series of teenagers to fight an Immortal Goddess, A God of Thunder, Doctor Doom and-"

"And Ian" Sam huffed immediately making James shiver and stop

Not going past it anymore and facing the problem head on James just nodded his head

"Yeah, and Ian"

Clenching the Wing tightly within his hand Sam couldn't help but feel the anger rise within his body at the simple mention of his name......his half brother ?

"Look Sam, if you're mad about me not telling you about Ian, I'm sorry. But now's not the time to be getting mixed emotions weather you still see me as a friend or not, The world ends in less than 2 days and we only have minimum amounts of time to assemble a team if we even want a chance at winning, so please just tell me what's wrong-"

"I'm not mad at you James" Sam admitted truthfully

"...really ?"

Sam just shook his head

"No, I'm not. Hell i'm not even mad at Ian, I'm not mad at anyone" Sam admitted again with a high groan before he let go of his wings letting it drop and clatter to the ground

Immediately all the fallen and disposed wings had began to circle around on the ground in a hovering moetion before they all collectively flew up and made their ways towards Sam's gear finding their direct homes within his gauntlet

James had to admit his gear was pretty badass

Grabbing his bottle of water Sam took a sip before taking a seat at a bench, clutching the bottle tightly as he just laid his head down in deep thought

"Why would My Mom hide Ian ?" Sam asked before looking at James as if he was searching for an answer

"I don't get it, if my Mom and Your Dad had a son who is older than us ? why would they hide that ?.....but now it all makes sense, why she was so distant. Why she always found herself not being able to truly look at me....I reminded her.....of Him..."
