Hi, so you're probably wondering who I am, what this story's about and why you should even care about this in the first place. My name is Thalia Banner. Yes, my brother is that Banner, the one who turns into a giant green monster. It doesn't matter, he's still my older brother, so insult him and I'll kill you. I look nothing like him anyway. I have bright blue eyes that matches my bright blue hair. Fun fact, I didn't dye it. I was literally born with blue hair. Cue the never ending Harry Potter jokes from literally every single person I meet. What else? Like my brother in Banner form, I'm fairly petite and skinny. I also drive a motorcycle and leather is a big staple in my clothes. It's not that I'm punk or whatever those judgmental asses on the street call me. It just looks cool and I like it. I think that wraps up my description nicely, now onto the day when my life changed forever. Surprise, surprise it's not the day my brother went green.
"Shit, shit, shit I'm late!" I sprinted through the halls of the helecarrier, trying to balance three folders, hot chocolate (I hate coffee), and my knife that I always carried. Yes I work at SHIELD, after my brother destroyed Harlem, they approached me with the position to work as a field agent to help contain people like the other guy. I obviously took it which leads to today, two years later, with me sprinting to a meeting that I'd completely forgotten about. Seeing the door ahead of me, I burst through and immediately regretted my decision to attend in the first place. Director Fury and several other people looked at me. One of them was my brother. I bit the inside of my cheek and muttered
"Fury, you sly son of a bitch." I had told him I didn't want my brother to know about my job and apparently, he didn't feel the same way. Bruce quickly walked over with wide eyes.
"What are you doing here?" he whispered in shock.
"My job," I whisper back, fully aware of everyone's eyes on me.
"Um, sorry but who is she," Tony Stark asked looking at the two of us in confusion.
"I'm his sister, Stark. Hey, Natasha isn't he the one whose ass you had to babysit last year?" My best friend smirked and walked over to give me a hug. Natasha had been my co supervising officer as well as Clint Barton. The latter wasn't here but that didn't bug me too much. I looked at the rest of the team, which was just Coulson, Maria Hill, Thor (I had met him during the New Mexico incident), and some random blonde haired dude who seemed totally confused by everything that was happening. "You must be Captain Rogers." I said, grinning and holding my hand out for him to shake. He smiled and leaned over to shake my hand.
"It's Steve." he told me with a shy smile.
"Thalia Banner," I replied tucking my knife in my pocket and straightening out my files. "so why am I here? It doesn't really look like you guys need me on the whole Loki problem." The incident with Loki stealing the Tesseract had happened three days ago. Fury had assembled everyone here to restart the Avenger's initiative.
"Agent Banner, if you would demonstrate your skill to the team." Fury said, cutting right to the chase. I glared at him, furious that he had just put my ability and me in the spotlight like that. Muttering dark curses under my breath, I shrugged off my jacket and tugged my dark blue crop top down self consciously. Taking a deep breath, I raised my hand and aimed at the light above us. The light immediately went out and I was left with a pulsing ball of electricity in my hand.
"Cool," Tony said dismissively. "like that's going to hel-" the rest of his sentence was cut off as I threw the electric ball at him and sent him flying into the wall. Bruce had his head in his hand.
"I saw that one coming." he mumbled quietly.
"Any questions?" I asked brightly.
"What's that on your wrist?" Steve asked coldly. I chuckled and said
"Man, you just cut straight through the BS don't you?"
"That's HYDRA's logo." he snapped at me. I smiled sadly at the red scar in the outline of the octopus they call a hydra.
"They consider it a parting gift when they know SHIELD's coming to save their agent's ass. Wasn't the worst thing they did when I got abducted, just the most prominent." Bruce stared at me in horror and Steve's gaze turned sad.
"Sorry." he whispered. "You didn't know." I said shrugging it off.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Bruce cried.
"Kind of defeats the purpose of your brother going off the grid," I said turning back to Fury. "So everyone knows I'm a freak, what now?"
"You join your fellow freaks in kicking Loki's Asgardian ass." he said coldly. I cocked my head, a little confused at this point. he huffed in exasperation and said "You're an Avenger Banner. Welcome to the team." My eyes widened and I ran out of the room, cartwheeling down the hall with joy. I couldn't believe it. I was an Avenger.
