Black Angel is the newest member to The Avengers Initiative. With powers un-introduced to her team and even herself. Angel doesn't know where she is from, or who she is. All she has ever known is that she is not human, she's alienated from the rest of the group due to their own fear of her. The rumours, the facts, their image of Angel is sewn together with nothing but terror. She's broken. Living in the basement of the Avengers tower completely isolated from everyone. All the Avengers were told of Angel was that she was dangerous. Dangerously important, dangerously wanted, dangerously needed . When Angel is called into battle alongside the rest of The Avengers, secrets are obtained, death has arrived, and for the first time in Angels life she finds herself feeling alive. As Angel spends more time with the Avengers, relationships start to form. One full of darkness, and one filled with light. ------- I only own the rights to Black Angel and the story plot. All other characters belong to Marvel or DC.

(I use the script for some of these parts of the story, those I do not own. Obviously) **I have no rights to anything Marvel that is reference in here. I'm just a fangirl**

Being a performer in some backwater travelling show is a life of hardship, pain and unhappiness. Not liking the fact that her powers caused her heartbreak in the past, and set her on course to further displeasure, Elsie is naturally sceptical when two strangers come to her asking for aid. Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr have a task to do, create their own mutant army to stop the one which Sebastian Shaw has already amassed. Only the ideals of such a thing are not as easy to set into motion as they first thought. Throw in disruptive teens, clashing powers, signs of affection and reluctance from some, there might be a small slim chance for success. The ideals and thoughts of what happens after is something which dwells on all who are involved minds. Only peace and quiet can only last so long until it is ripped away. Imprisonment, prison breaks, new comrades and new mutant threats come to light, and the small slim chance for success shines through again.
