Earth Is A Strange Place

Chapter 1

My sister sat in front of me on her 'high throne'. Pfft, she's no queen. I'm older and she's jealous because she wanted the throne so she overthrew me so right now I’m kneeling in front of her in chains. Yep, my sister is evil but she made it look like I'm evil so she could have the throne. I mean really, who would do that to their sister?

“Esmeralda Scarpa, for treason against your sister, murder of your parents and the planet you are here now banished for the rest of your life and if you even dare step foot on this land again you will die,” my sister, Tatiana declared. Everyone cheered. They think my sister's a hero. Well, news flash. She's NOT, so I suggest you shut up. The gaurds pulled me to my feet roughly and pulled me threw the crowds of civilizations. They pulled me to the docking station and undid my chains. They then threw of and let me fall threw space. I gently flew up and stared at my once grand city. A tear escaped my eye before I flew off. I went around the universe but couldn't find a place. I eventually decided for just drifting around until I did see a planet. Earth, that's the name of the planet. I've been to Earth before with my mother and father before Tatiana was born. I wonder how much it's changed. I gently flew down and landed in an ally in Manhattan. I changed my appearance and walked into the street. Nothing had changed. Guess it's still the same year. Time on our planet is a thousand times quicker so every month on Earth is 10 years on our planet or something like that. I walked down the street looking around for some place to get a job. I like it here so I want to stay. I don't see any jobs so I doubt the will be any. I decide to keep out of the way for a bit then maybe leave. Nothing here for me. I walk down some alley and soon sense someone following me. I look behind me to see a female with short red hair following me. I look forward and walk quicker. I turn a corner and bump into someone. The redhead instantly grabbed my arms and handcuffed me behind my back.

“that was too easy,” complained the guy I bumped into. They were working together. Oh crud.

“just be on guard. She's obviously dangerous otherwise we wouldn't bother hunting her down,” said the redhead. Great, it's my sister all over again. Just what I need. They led me through alleyways and brought me to a ship. The moment we were on the ship flew up. A guy with an eye patch then walked out. He walked over to us.

“Hawkeye you're needed in the training room,” the guy nodded and walked of. What a strange name. He then looked at me.

“what's your name?” he asked. I just glared at him.

“not talking huh? The less you talk the longer you stay,” he said. I carried on glaring.

“Black Widow take her to the room she'll be staying in,” he said before walking of. 'Black Widow' guided me through the corridors and to a room. She took me in and closed the door quickly. She undid my handcuffs.

“why am I here?” I ask. She looks over at me.

“Directer Fury wants you to be an Avenger. When you came to Earth we saw that you where an alien so we thought if you are good you could help us save the world, as an Avenger,” she explained.

“and if I didn't want to?” I ask.

“then you get to leave and do whatever apart from destroy the world and all that otherwise we would lock you up,” she joked. I managed a small smile.

“My name's Esmeralda Scarpa,” I said.

“Mine's Natasha Romavof,” she said.

“then why did the man with the eye patch call you Black Widow?” I ask.

“it's my codename. The man with the eye patch is called Directer Nick Fury,” she answers.

“is Hawkeye one?” I ask.

“yes, his real name is Clint Barton,” she explains.

“what happens if I become an Avenger?” I ask.

“we give you a home, a job as an agent, train you as an assassin, spy and you become a member of the Avenger family,” she says.

“Family huh? Must be nice,” I say absently. I sit on the bed and stare the wall. Why would she betray me like that. I gave her everything I could to make her happy then she turned her back on me when I needed her the most. I snapped out of my trance to Natasha snapping her fingers in my face.

“Esme are you alright?” she asked. My eyes narrowed.

“Don't call me Esme,” my voice icy. Natasha looked shocked before nodding.

“I'm sorry. The last person who called me that was killed by my sister Tatiana who then banished me from my own kingdom,” I explained.

“how old is she?” Natasha asks.

“6 years younger. She stole my throne and killed our parents because they favoured me over her,” I say. She sits next to me and pulls me into a one armed hug.

“why?” she asks after a bit.

“because she was jealous so she made me look like the bad guy,” I say sadly.

“do you want to be an Avenger? We'll be your new family. Your parents are watching over you and will always be proud of you,” she asks/says.

“let me think about it,” I say. She nodded.

“want to come to training?” she asks getting up. I smile.

“sure. Why not?” I stand up but she stops me.

“we need to get you a suit,” she says. I give her a 'you gotta be kidding' look. She shakes her head and smiles.
