Crimson Storm

Chapter 1

Hello, my name is Heaven Raven. I'm the newest member of the Avengers. But first you should know how I got here. It all started 56 years ago when I was 19, I was top of all my classes and got my way into getting my very own lab. Now I'm a Chemical Analysts, basically my job is to see what chemicals when mixed could kill people and what ones could help people. One day while working late I was mixing things I knew I shouldn't have been. I've never been one for rules. While I was working the gamma lab next door was doing god knows what with the worst storm we had had in a long time. 

When I got them mixed together I had created a cloud of pure crimson smoke. Of course I had it contained. For a bit. A lightning bolt struck my lab and wrecked my equipment. The cloud got some sort of electrical current running through it and it grew a mind of its own. But before I could do anything the case I had it in was shattered and the cloud was coming towards me. I couldn't breath, my lungs felt like they were on fire. I was coughing like crazy and my heart was beating faster than it should have been. I looked down at my arms and the crimson smoke started to course through my veins like blood. I stopped breathing and passed out. I woke up the next day my head spinning and my body shaking. I stood up and hear the sound of glass breaking underneath my feet. 

I walked into the bathroom adjacent of my lab. I turned on my light and splashed some water on my face and looked in the mirror. My once dirty blonde hair was now crimson red and so were my eyes. I heard someone come into the lab. It was my assistant. When he saw me and gasped. I explained what had happened, he immediately suggested we should do some blood tests, so we did. As we looked at my blood it was crimson red and it had sparks running through it. We both had many questions but, no time to ask or answer them.

When we had finished cleaning up the lab some men in suits said they needed my help in saving the USA. And of course I agreed. Little did I know what I was actually signing up for. I soon discovered who they really were. Hydra. I was helping them create a formula to make the perfect super soldier. When I knew what their real plans were I tried to go against them but with no avail. When I didn't obey they threw me in a cell and starved me. Then beat me and torched me until I cooperated. They found out about my powers they started to call me Crimson Storm. Granted it was a good name, but I hated who gave it to me. 

They soon started to treat me like I was some sort of science experiment. Then once I finished the 'Captain America' serum is what they called it. They had me inject some kid name Steve Rodgers with the serum. I was scared how it would work. What if I killed him, But it didn't. Hydra hated it cuz they couldn't control him at all. So they forced me to create the winter soldiers. With some help of a very handsome man named Howard we did it. And once that was done they stuck me in the ice and I was out for another 41 years. Then one day someone unthawed me. I didn't know who and I didn't know why. And when I came too Hydra was still there and I knew they had to be stopped but I couldn't do it alone. So now you know who I am most importantly what I am. Next part of the story is how I joined the Avengers.
