The Elder Maximoff Ch.5: More Than A Confrontation

Ch.4 Ch.6

"Aw junior, you're going to break your old man's heart." We all turn around to see Tony land on the bridge with the avengers behind him, in an defensive stance.

"If I have to." Ultron responds as he steps forward. I disappear into the shadows as only three of them have seen me, and two are nowhere to be seen.

"You don't have to break anything,"Thor stated.

"Clearly you've never made an omelet." Retorts Ultron in a calm yet slightly annoyed voice.

"He beat me by one second." Claims Tony as he looks back at his team.

"Ah this is fine, is what comfortable? Like old times." Questioned Pietro as he walked forward. My siblings have a bone to pick with him but right now I'll focus on Black Widow and Thor as they seem like the biggest threats here.

"This was never my life." States Tony with a hint of remorse in his tone but I pay no attention to it because I'm currently sneaking up behind Thor. My siblings saw me and their eyes had a flash of fear, but it quickly disappeared and they focused once again on Tony with a firm glare.

Thor steps forward explaining how they can still walk away from this, Wanda seemed pretty annoyed at them since she replied in a ticked off voice,

"No we will." While giving them a fake smile.

"I know you've suffered..." I've heard enough,I appear out of the shadows behind him and quickly grow out sharp bones, about 3 inch long razor sharp claws that protrude out of my fingertips with a slight curve, like that of a panther.

Thor, however, hears the creation of my claws as when I shift or grow my bones they sometimes make a cracking noise. He turns to the noise, but is met with the clawing of flesh. I hit his shoulder, my claws left deep gash marks, so I was happy. Thor goes to hit me with his hammer but I'm already gone, the blink of an eye is all it takes for me to disappear through shadow travel.

I reappear next to Wanda and tap her shoulder, but by the jump she gave, she probably didn't hear me next to her.

"Do you have any idea what I could've done if I didn't know it was you Corvina!" Wanda whisper-shouts at me as we travel through the hallways to catch members of the avengers distracted so we can break their minds.

"Yes." I simply responded as I looked up from a ledge to see Iron man and Ultron facing off. I see Captain America or Cap ram into Pietro. I look at Wanda and motion I'm going out to fight, she nods her head and I camouflage myself to look like darkness.

I sneak up behind Cap and create a shadow dimension weapon. I take the shadow dagger and am right behind Cap now, Pietro however looked over at the last second which then caused Cap to roll sideways at the last second, barely missing my dagger. He throws his shield at me and I create a shadow portal, thus making his shield disappear.

"Where's my shield?" He asks in a surprised tone at not having the shield ricochet back to him.

"Oh lets just say somewhere you'll never find." I'm about to attack Cap but I see Clint shooting an arrow at me.

I open a shadow portal above me, and Cap's shield falls into my hand. I held it up just in time to reflect Clint's arrow, however when the arrow made contact with the shield it sent an electrical current through my body. I drop Cap's shield and Shadow travel out of there before they can catch me.

I quickly attempt to heal myself with my primordial darkness manipulation, before going to look for Wanda. I see her about to hex Hawkeye, but he turns around and uses the same electrical shock arrows on Wanda.

I quickly hurry to her, however when Clint sees me he loads another arrow, but this one has a rugged point that is meant to hurt when hitting and leaving their target, meant to tear and snag, and leave a big gash.

I take a step forward and Hawkeye raises the bow, I raise my hands up in a sign of surrender, but he just pulls back on the bow string while aiming it at me.

"One more step and I fire, and I'd rather not hurt a kid." He voices in a calm but stern voice.

"Last time I checked you're already hurting a kid who happens to be my little sister. Now, I'm going to ask you nicely. Give. Her. Back. Now." He looks startled by my voice so I quickly shadow travel Wanda outside so she will be safe from Clint, but not before I brought her to me where I then grabbed the arrow and bit it in the center, causing it to snap in half. I shadow traveled her outside the ship, while I turned into a massive black panther.

Clint looks extremely scared now, I lunge forward at him. He releases his arrow, as it flies forward it hits my shoulder, I roar in pain but charge forward.

Clint's now running for dear life, I jump forward and swipe my long, sharp claws at his legs, successfully slicing through his calves. He falls, so I'm now standing over him. I bite at his neck but he puts his arm in front, so I instead bite his arm other then neck. He lets out a pained scream, but I'm kicked off of him when he pushes his legs up. I transform into a human as I say,

"Bye bird brain.", before I shadow traveled out to where Wanda is sitting.

Scar's Adopted Brother Ch.5: Untrustworthy

Ch.4 Ch.6

My tribe agreed to join Scar, although some were a bit more hesitant. Of course, I was also partly hesitant; I usually don't jump into ideas like this either, but it did have many benefits. My tribe wouldn't have to be nomadic anymore, we wouldn't have to worry about being attacked by another pride, and we wouldn't have to worry about running out of food.

I wait until dawn, then slowly make my way over to the elephant graveyard. It reeks of hyenas, I wish Scar would just get rid of them already, they are only on his side because he's promising them food.

Anyways, I slide down the hill into the graveyard and walk to the elephant's skull that Simba was playing on; as I continue my senses are on high alert since this is where a bunch of hyenas stay, and even though they like Scar, I don't trust them. I jump up onto the ledge that Scar said we'd meet at and wait, after a while it seems like he isn't going to show so I begin to get up and am ready to leave when I catch his scent. I turn around and see him just as he shows up, as you can imagine I'm already on edge, but him showing up this late is also making my tolerance run thin.

"Thought you'd never show up" I began the conversation. Scar simply looks at me as if willing me to go on.

"My tribe has agreed to join yours, but on one condition; we don't kill Simba." I explain, but the look on Scar's face clearly shows that he is slightly unhappy with this arrangement.

"Fine, I'll meet you at the top of the ravine, I'll explain the plan on getting rid of Simba there." With each of us nodding we walk towards our own pride/tribe lands.

———————

I'm waiting at the canyon, eyeing the wildebeests who are grazing at the top. As I look down into the canyon I see Scar leading Simba down there, then walking away, leaving Simba down in the canyon. I'm getting slightly worried, I can see his plan falling into place now; he plans on causing a stampede down into the canyon, and that would leave no place for Simba to escape to.

I begin to sprint around the canyon as I try to find a way down to get Simba, Scar is going to get him killed and that was not part of our deal.

I see a pathway down, and I carefully weave my way down the rocky path into the canyon. I am successfully making my way down the canyon, the stampede has chased Simba onto a weak tree that is barely holding him above the herd, I jump over the backs of the stampede until I have reached Simba.

He looks at me in fright, not knowing why I'm here, but I quickly grab him, holding him lightly as I begin leaping over the stampede again. I see Simba's father in the canyon trying to get over to us, I just manage to hand off Simba before a wildebeest rams straight into my rib cage.

Mufasa leaps over to a ledge where he puts Simba, and begins making his way back over to me. I'm already getting up, but as I try to jump up the walls of the canyon I end up falling back down, nearly getting trampled to death. Mufasa, however, is quick to grab me and pulls me to the side of the canyon, throwing me over and onto the same ledge as Simba;mbut just as he is about to get up as well he is dragged down with the stampede, Simba is screaming for him, and I even try to get up to look through the stampede for him only to see him launch up and claw his way up the wall of the canyon.

Simba begins to make our way up the canyon so we can meet Mufasa, however as soon as we turn back to look we see Mufasa falling back first into the stampede, and I knew as soon as I saw, that he was going to be dead before we even got down there.

I quickly grab Simba and begin to try to get down there as quickly as I can, as soon as we reach the bottom we only see a straggler that was quickly gone. We make our way over to Mufasa, and his scent is clearly telling me that he is dead, however Simba simply won't give up trying to wake him up, and seeing him like that killed me inside. I had to look away, and after seeing Simba lying with his dead father I decided to wait by the wall of the canyon.

I hear a noise, and see Scar walking down into the canyon, as he reaches Simba he begins to speak. I can't hear very well though since I'm quite a ways away from them, but I do pick up on things, I believe he said that Mufasa's death was Simba's fault, and that Simba should just run away.

I see Simba backing away before he sprints off down the canyon, I then hear Scar say 'get him', and immediately see three hyenas take off after Simba. I look at Scar, who looks at me before walking off.

I quickly sprint after Simba, forcing my body to run faster than I ever have; I'm quickly catching up to the hyenas, but I can see that they will reach Simba before I reach them. I force my already tired body to continue with this stamina eating sprint until I am so close that I can almost pounce on them. However I see them all skidding to a halt so I quickly follow, leaping up and latching myself onto the canyon wall so that I can see what lay ahead of me.

Before me lies a forest of bramble thickets, I can see Simba making his way through them; and see him run out of the other side and into the distance.

The hyenas eventually leave. I have to find Simba, there is no way that he will survive out there, he's only a cub after all.

———————

I wait until nightfall, then navigate my way around the forest of bramble thickets to where I last saw Simba. I quickly pick up his scent, and begin following him; it leads me out of the pride lands and eventually to a desert. I'm beginning to slightly regret doing this because I'm risking my own life for this cub, but I feel like I need to make sure he is fine because his father's death is partially my fault.

I look up and see vultures in the distance; and I begin to sprint towards them, and I'm sure all the animals could hear my thundering paws as they roughly hit the dry and cracked floor of this desert wasteland. As I come closer I can see a warthog and a meerkat have scared away the vultures that had landed and were advancing towards Simba.

However I only see them pick up his body and scurry away into the undergrowth. I slow my pace, and am eventually back to a walk as soon as I reach the undergrowth I saw them disappear into.

I slowly make my way through the trees, following their scent closely to make sure I didn't lose them. I eventually find where they were, silently watching through the bushes as they teach Simba to eat bugs which almost caused me to be sick, but I recovered quickly.

I'm so caught in the moment that I step on a twig, a snap emanating through the environment. The warthog and meerkat glance around in fear whilst Simba is looking defensive, making his way closer to me.

"Whoever is there better come out or I'll, I'll..."

"You'll what Simba, attack me?" I voice, cutting him off.

"Crow? Is that you?" Simba exclaims after a moment of thinking to himself.

I walk out of the bushes, the top of my mane is slightly raised, giving me a threatening appearance. Simba looks slightly happy to see me, whilst the other two look simply mortified as they hug each other for dear life. My eyes shift over to Simba as I stride completely out of my hiding spot, and proceed to sit a few paw steps away from him.

Woodland Princess Ch.1: A Journey Begins

Ch.2

My feet ferociously ate up the ground as I silently sprinted from my home under the cover of night, the letter of invitation on a dangerous journey was too good to ignore. I turn my head back slightly as I leave my home of 500 years, my father would never let me go on journey of this danger, especially when most of the company will be dwarves, and my brother would never let me either, his hatred for dwarves running as deep as his will to keep me safe.

The tattered letter gave explicit instructions that I was to be in the shire in 10 days, and knock on the marked door when nightfall occurred. As soon as I got the letter I waited until nightfall, then I silently left my family and my home.

It has been 5 days since I left my home behind me, my father would've for-surely sent guards by the morning after I left, and they must have been searching everywhere in and around our realm, so I must move quickly.

————————

I was nearly to the shire now, my daggers out due to a recent attack by 6 orcs, 2 having wargs; but they were dead within seconds since I was one of the most skilled fighters in all of the woodland realm. The one better fighter was my father, mainly because he has been alive for a little more than 2,000 years.

I arrive at the shire around 7:50pm and look around in an attempt to find the symbol my friend explained he drew on the door. After a while of searching, I finally found the home, and walked up. There is loud, obnoxious laughter being emitted from within, I assume they are from the dwarves. I quickly knock on the door before taking a step back, I hear the lock turn and the door abruptly opens. The hobbit didn't even look up before he practically yelled,

"There are enough dwarves in here as it is!"

I was slightly taken-aback, stepping back, rethinking if he really was not dangerous like the dwarves; but when he looked up, a wave of surprise washed across his features when his view was met by a young blonde silver haired ellith instead of a tough looking dwarf. He quickly stuttered out,

"I'm so sorry, I was expecting another dwarf to barge into my home uninvited." Bilbo states quickly in a slightly humorous tone to try and make me a little less startled by the rude greeting. I smiled slightly, greeting him,

"My name is Aelsar. A pleasure to meet you, I was sent here by Mithrandir or as you know him, Gandalf." I responded.

"I knew it was Gandalf." Bilbo muttered before opening the door allowing me to step in, having to bend down slightly to avail hitting the ceiling. I was led to the kitchen, Bilbo explaining how the dwarves have eaten practically all of his food.

In my head I'm simply thinking, 'Did I get myself in over my head again? I hope this quest goes well, and I hope my father will forgive me for disobeying him.'

Ch.2

Who Am I?

Original Species: Dzeeh Shash/Forest Sentry

Woodland Princess Ch.6: Expected

Ch.5 Ch.7

A/N Raerthar and Aelsar can understand and communicate telepathically. This will be shown through the use of italics.

In the morning I take off my spell and find that the company is already partially down the mountain. I was slightly angry that they left without me but I soon saw that Gandalf wasn't with them.

I looked around and saw him with our two horses. He was happy to see that I had taken down my invisibility spell. I mounted Raerthar while Gandalf mounted his unnamed pony and we started down the paths which led to the rest of our group.

We caught up with them and Thorin wasn't happy to see me there at all. Fili and Kili came over and we chatted a little to pass by the time, soon it was dusk and our horses were exhausted from the day full of heat. We were coming by a small destroyed building where Thorin decided we should stay.

I was not happy at all and neither was Gandalf judging by how he tried to usher Thorin to keep moving and possibly stop by Rivendell to get the map read.

By the mere mention of an elvish name and he turned cold and said,

"I will not seek the help of the people who betrayed my kingdom." Before walking away to talk to someone else. Gandalf was angry and stalked away only to have Bilbo ask,

"Gandalf where are you going?" Gandalf answered him, though I did not catch if as I heard Raerthar whinny at the stupidity of dwarves and the arrogance of some wizards. I sighed and untracked her, allowing her to roam free among the other horses.

It had been an hour since Gandalf left and I was slightly worried, thinking that if we were attacked the only defense I had were two blades on a bow with no arrow.

Out of nowhere Raerthar appeared scared, motioning for me to follow her. We reached where the other horses were kept but I made it just in time to see Fili and Kili rush forward with Bilbo struggling to keep up.

After a few moments of thinking and told Raerthar to watch and if I didn't come back soon, then to go and get the others.

I quietly sprinted through the wee in time to see Fili and Kili push Bilbo forward into an area with trees that seemed to be forced down. After a few moments the brothers ran back towards the company, as they went past me I jumped out from out of my hiding place and tripped both of them knowing they wouldn't stop if I told them to.

"Owwww" Kili complained as he and Fili got up. They turned and saw me, and suddenly looked slightly scared.

"Why are you leaving Bilbo? You know he has no means of defending himself!" I nearly yell at them and they back up slightly in fear. I realized I was scaring them and took a step back with my head down,

"Sorry," I say in apology for my outburst. They look slightly less fearful now.

"We need your help, where Bilbo went there are mountain trolls, and they are trying to catch him but right now he's fine. Kili and I are going to get the company but you need to help Bilbo." Fili said in an ordering tone.

I dash towards Bilbo just in time to see that one has caught him and is holding him by his legs. I reach for my daggers but they aren't there and I remember Thorin still has them, so instead I grab my bow and carefully undo the binding that holds the blades onto it.

I quickly grab some vine and wrap part of the blade to make a grasp for the knife. I jump out and see the troll trying to eat him, I quickly jump up a tree and land on his back, dragging the knives through his skin as I slid down to the floor. He screams in pain and drops Bilbo.

I run around and try to distract the trolls while Bilbo releases the ponies. They have me cornered and I can't escape. When they were about to grab me the company came out of the bushes and started slashing through their skin. I see dwarves being thrown, picked up, and dropped but I can't find Bilbo.

I soon see a troll grab him and try to make it over there but Thorin steps in the way and says,

"You leave! You're just slowing us down!" He shouts, I try to regain myself but being told I slow the group down is a punch to my pride and self-confidence.

I slowly walk backwards into the forest and disappear from sight. I walk back over to Raerthar and say,

"We're leaving." She looks at me and then to the noise from the commotion.

'Won't they need your help?' Raerthar asks slightly confused of why I left the fight.

"No, Thorin says I just slow them down so I want to see how far they get without me." I responded. After a slightly confusing conversation Raerthar convinces me to check up on the fight one last time seeing as the noise has stopped. I agree and head off to check in the dwarves.

When I see them I feel slightly happy to know they didn't last long after I left. I circle the area silently then rush back to the camp and search every bag they had for my weapons.

I finally found my daggers wrapped in a type of cloth with the arrows tied together beside them. I stuffed the arrows into my cloak's pocket and reattached the blades I made to my bow. Then I took my blades and silently crept through the forest back to the trolls.

Ch.2 Ch.4

Clint's POV:

"Well, electricity sure does the trick." Clint stated as he saw the girl in the tree fall backwards.

"Wait, did you catch one of those super people?" Tony questioned.

"Well I shot her with an arrow that applies a strong electrical current which then immobilizes the victim." Replied Clint as he started jogging towards the area he saw the girl fall, only to have a blue and silver blur flash past him while ramming into his side; which then caused him to slam into a tree.

"Ow!" Exclaimed Clint in pain as he recovered from his attack.

"Clint you alright?" Questioned Natasha.

"Yah Nat, but I think our enhanced was taken by the others, they must've seen me shoot at her. I have a feeling they aren't too happy that I shot their friend." Clint explained as he limped off towards the ship.

"Well at least we know how to stop them." Natasha voiced as she helped Bruce into the quin-jet.

_______

Corvina's POV:

I woke up outside a small decaying church. I was laying on the floor wrapped in some ragged yet warm blankets, I could see my brother and sister standing a couple feet away talking about something. I slowly pushed myself up, my head had a pounding feeling in it, and my back was hurting. 'Probably because of that idiot who shot me', I thought as I stood up only to nearly fall from my lack of feeling in my legs, but I quickly used my powers to help steady myself.

"Where are we?" I questioned as I looked at the crumbling church.

"We have been called to meet someone with the same goal as us for the avengers." Wanda stated as she slowly started to walk into the church, Pietro and I quickly ran to where the entrance of the church was.

As I entered the church I immediately noticed the metal figure sitting in an eroded stone chair with a sheet or blanket draped over his shoulders while he sat facing away from us.

"Who are you and if you're wasting our time...", Wanda began, but was interrupted.

"Do you know why this church was built here, because it is in the center of the town. The elders decreed that everyone could be equally close to god." He said as he waved an arm made of metal in front of him.

"I like that, the idea of belief." He said.

"State what you called us here for before we leave." I voiced sternly as I stepped out from the shadows.

He looked at me strangely after I stepped out of the shadows, almost as if he didn't know I was there.

"Who are you?"he questioned flatly, my eyes narrowed as he said this.

"A mystery, but you can call me black magic." I answer in a dark tone.

"Who is she?" He questions again this time asking Wanda who looked at him in confusion.

"How do you not know who she is, she was experimented on just like us. She is our older sister." Wanda stated. Ultron looked back at me still confused.

"What powers do you have?" Ultron finally questioned me.

"I have Umbra-kinesis(the ability to control shadows), evocation, telekinetic blast, darkness manipulation, dark energy manipulation, Mental manipulation, telepathy, osteokinesis, I can turn into my spirit animal which happens to be a black panther, and primordial darkness manipulation but I'm still learning to control that one." I responded. Ultron steps back with a slight look of surprise on his face.

"No wonder I couldn't find any files on you. I should've expected that someone that powerful would want to be kept off the records in case of well, you know." Ultron stated as he walked up to us.

He walked up to Pietro and said,

"You and I can hurt them," he then turned to Wanda and I and then slightly touched our faces while saying, "but you two will tear them apart from the inside."
