True Form (Avengers x Reader)

-24-

Trigger warning ⚠️- beating, blood, fighting

I wouldn't"

"But she... She would"

The victorious grin of the agent was long gone, now replaced with a terrified expression as he took another step back.

I let out a deep throated growl. It was like my body worked on autopilot, only being controlled by pure instincts as I allowed my animal form to take completely over.

He couldn't even blink as fast as I shifted into a tiger and burrowed my teeth into his throat. The last thing he did was emit a gurgling noise before his eyes turned glassy and stared into the nothingness.

My tiger-self let out a pleasured snarl as I licked my nose, tasting the metallic and salty mixture of his and mine blood combined in my mouth. I wasn't sure why, but it gave me a stimulating feeling of power and superiority, which encouraged me even further to continue.

Now I was in no control over myself anymore. Even though my mind was clouded, my senses were sharper than ever, I was in complete predator mode.

Next thing in knew, I was running through the base in direction of my teammates and threw myself at the next HYDRA agent.

I licked my mouth, exposing the razor sharp teeth that adorned it. He began to scream for help, which quickly got annoying, so I tackled him to the ground and threateningly towered over his pathetic form.

"Y/n, it's okay. We'll get him to SHIELD for interrogation" Nat said, but I ignored her.

I was practically drooling over his face, my carnivorous form enjoying the smell of his fear and the sweet scent of the revenge I longed after, for so long.

"Please, please, I'll tell you everything!" He pleaded horrified, but before he could say anything else, I buried my face in his throat, silencing him for forever.

I made an almost purring sound as I shook him back and forth to assure his death. After that I immediately jumped back into the fight and killed every single agent I could find. Never underestimate the opponent.

After finishing the last one, I turned around satisfied, only to be met with my teammates.

"Yeah, that was a bit unnece-... -ssary" Clint started, but shut up instantly at my sight.

I was covered in sticky, dried blood and slowly licked the remains of fresh blood off my face as it dripped from my chin.

Wanda let out a gasp and poor Peter and Kate looked completely disturbed. Pietro and Yelena just stared in shock, as did the rest of the team. Even Loki seemed surprised to say the least.

"Y-y/n?" Pietro carefully asked and my head turned around to face him.

"We don't just kill people like this" Steve stated sternly, but all I noticed was his threatening tone.

I flattened my ears as a warning and subconsciously growled. I felt my pounding heart rate rise again as a new wave of energy flushed over my body.

"What was that, young lady!? Don't you growl at me" He demanded in a pissed intonation.

And with that, I snapped. My instincts went crazy and I lunged at him, but he reacted incredibly fast and blocked with his vibranium shield, throwing me a few meters back, which was quite admirable considering I was weighting about 140kg in this form.

"Whoa kid! What the hell?" Stark exclaimed disbelievingly.

"Y/n, what's going on?" Nat questioned, now a hint of concern in her voice as she furrowed her eyebrows.

I felt the pressure of the intense stares from everyone on me and it slowly became too overwhelming. I suddenly felt cornered, the walls seemed to get closer, slowly crushing me and I had the immense urge of getting out of here, so I saw no other way than to jump directly at the Avengers and shot down the corridor like a rocket.

Nat's pov:

Something was off with y/n, that was clear as day. We could all see how strange she acted and after she lunged at Steve, everyone knew that something wasn't right, but no one could tell what.

I couldn't believe she just murdered these HYDRA soldiers, quite brutally to be honest, but I certainly knew she would never seriously attack one of us, however the look in her eyes, her posture, the fierceness in her action told us it wasn't just a  dumb prank.

She acted like a wild animal.

We were all too shocked to react as she jumped at us and sprinted down the corridor with immense speed.

"What just happened?" Sam asked bamboozled.

"I have no idea" Clint answered as flabbergasted as everyone else.

"Fact is, she's not herself" I stated. "We need to get to the jet and track her down asap"

We quickly made our way to the quinjet, the SHIELD agents had already arrived to take care of the base.

"How was it going?" Bruce asked as we arrived, but noticed something was off.

"Y/n decided to go all hulk and went smash, attacked Capsicle, then ran off into the forest and is now on the loose" Tony explained, tipping something on his screen, it looked like he tried to locate her.

"Did she behave strange before, or did she say anything?" Bruce asked as he stitched some of us up, trying to find a reason for her behavior in the meantime.

"We don't know. We had to split up, since there were more HYDRA guys than anticipated. Somewhen she reappeared as a tiger and attacked the soldiers like they were training dummies" Yelena said.

"Maybe something triggered her?" Pietro suggested, which sounded like a plausible scenario.

"We can figure everything out after we got her. We can't let her cause any more trouble because as far as I know her, she's definitely going to challenge her luck" I stated with a sigh.

"Hey guys, found her" Tony shouted over and we quickly ran to him to look at one of the screens with a red dot that was slowly moving.

"Tracked her bracelet" he stated proudly and send us his signature smirk.

"Well then, let's help a lost kitty" Clint smiled.
