The Next Generation of Avengers

The Approach

Hi all.

This is my first story. To be honest, as I am writing this to you, my heart is pounding and racing at 1,000,000km per hour.

Please don't judge to harshly, I know it's not perfect but trust me, it gets better.

If people like it, I'll continue. We'll see how it goes.

Okay, here it goes.

They were all approached in different ways, but it was always the same person who asked them the same question. He had been there since the beginning, and he wasn't going to miss out on an opportunity this grand.

James Rogers was approached after a session at the gym. He worked out at the same place every morning from 4-6. He followed a routine, this made him easy to find. He, of course, said yes. He's a protector.

Nathaniel Barton was approached as he walked back to the farm he called home, to the people he called family. He had lived in the same place for his whole life, he couldn't wait to get away. He said yes, too. He's an Inhuman.

Dayna Barnes was approached as she sat in the psychologist's waiting area. Her sessions were kept on record and she, of course, knew this, but she had stopped fighting it a long time ago. She said yes. She's a weapon.

Torunn Thorsdottir was approached on the train, as she made her way back to the cave that she knew contained a back entrance to her home. She didn't want to go home, she liked it better here. She said yes. She's a warrior.

Mason Banner was approached while the jerk he had written an essay for was walking away from the batter and bruised body that had gotten him an A instead of an A+. He was proud that he didn't get angry. He said yes. He's a nerd.

Maria Stark was approached after an interview. She was used to being watched, judged, pressured. She was a Stark, after all, which meant that she had had to deal with it for her entire life. She said yes. She's a genius.

Riley Wilson was approached once he touched down after a flight. He loved flying. It made him feel free, like nothing could touch him, like there was nothing he had to fix. He said yes. He's a perfectionist.

Margaret Rogers was approached as she walked to her friend's house. She didn't get her mother to drive her there. She knew not to mix family and friends. She was smarter than that. She said yes. She's a friend.
