Scar’s Adopted Brother Ch.4: Eavesdropper

Ch.3 Ch.5

It's morning now, I awaken at dawn as per usual; sitting back, remembering the look of pure shock on Mufasa's face when I so easily beat him when I got sick of his drama, it was priceless.

I carefully walk outside, searching for some breakfast to give the tribe. I smell some zebra to the east and some antelope north, but I think the tribe would like some variety, so let's get both an antelope and a zebra for breakfast.

After walking for a few minutes, I spot a zebra wandering away from their herd, quickly killing it by ambushing from its blind spot. I use the same technique with the antelope, dragging back my kills and leaving them inside the cave we have taken up residence in.

It's still pretty early so I decide to go and explore the new territory.

Where my tribe is staying is full of trees and a canopy to keep us hidden, but how about we see the rest of the land. I sprint out of the trees silently, soon finding myself within an open savanna covered in grass with herds of many different animals. I look around, seeing beauty wherever the sun touches, but then my eyes reach a dark shadowy pit that has a mysterious aura to it.

I trot over until I reach the slight barrier that separates the sun-touched land from the shadows; as I look over the edge I see that there are mounds of large bones, elephants I believe they are called.

I quietly pounce over the edge and land in the clearing, but I soon hide behind a pile of bones when I hear the tumbling of bones from somewhere behind me. I peer through the bones and see Simba being pinned down by a lioness cub. 'I knew he was weak but not that weak,' I thought, watching him angrily struggle underneath her in vain. He then looks around, noticing my eye through the opening, I quickly pull back, jumping somewhere they won't see me; I can't risk him telling Mufasa, it would endanger my tribe.

"What are you looking at, Simba?" The female questions as she turns to see what it is that Simba is staring at so intently.

"Nothing, let's go over here." Simba states, wandering playfully over to a large skull. How stupid could they be, that skull smells strongly of hyena - just as I think that, I hear the cynical laughs of three hyenas, watching as they begin chasing the two lion cubs.

———————

The hyenas have chased Simba and Nala around for a minute or so now, and they currently have the cubs cornered. I see no one around to help them, so I leap in front of the hyenas, stopping them in their tracks. As much as you may think, I am no monster, and I won't allow these hyenas to kill these cubs, even though one's father may be the most aggravating alive.

"What are you doing? We are about to kill them like you asked?" One of them murmurs in a confused tone.

"Um Shengzi, I don't think that's who we think it is." Voiced another hyena.

They all pounce at me and we get into a battle of wrestling. I smack the least intelligent one unconscious for a few minutes whilst immobilizing the other two by smashing their heads together. They all fall to the ground and I release a roar so loud it causes them all to bolt away in fear. I look back at Simba and Nala, Simba looks surprised and Nala simply looks relieved that she didn't die.

"You two okay?" I question in a soft, calm tone that I use with all the cubs in my tribe.

"Yes, thank you." Replies Simba and Nala at the same time. I'm about to ask them if they want an escort back to their home but I get pushed down to the ground by a massive amount of pressure between my shoulders. I crane my neck to look up, and see Mufasa pinning me down with pure rage in his eyes while a blue bird flies overhead.

"First you attack me and now you try to kill my son and his friend. How low is your pride when they go to killing children for fun." Roars Mufasa as he grabs me and hurls me against a wall. I recoil my body in pain as the rock I land on pierces into my side. I narrow my eyes in anger and try to get up, but the rock is a part of the floor and is ripped out of me as I force myself up. The pain, however, isn't as obvious to them as I experience pain on the inside more than the outside due to intense training.

"Father, stop! He saved our lives from the hyenas!" Shrieked Simba as Nala rushed between Mufasa and myself.

"What are you talking about, he will kill you when given the chance!" Growled Mufasa as he merely pushed Nala to the side and started stalking towards me again.

"We all know how true that is, because of how you're still alive." I growled sarcastically, some blood dripping out of my mouth. Mufasa barely listens before shoving me back into the wall.

"Because I was given so many chances to kill you on our first meeting, but look at this, you're still alive." I nearly snarled at Mufasa. To be honest he looked quite angry, but the cubs seemed to be scared for my well being. Mufasa slowly takes his pressure off of me, begrudgingly allowing me to get up.

"How did you roar that loud?" Asked Simba in a scared tone as he trembled near his father.

"That's classified kid. Now if you don't mind I'll be leaving before I kill this inconsiderate father of yours." I threaten before stalking out of the area, quickly being drawn back by the scent of another lion, it's ever so subtle but it's there. I follow it and come back to where I was getting attacked, but this is a hidden overview ledge. Sitting on top is a lion who shares a striking resemblance to myself. I silently walk behind him and quickly pounce on top of him. He finds himself pinned in utter confusion, and worry is evident through the features on his face.

"I'm not Mufasa if that's what you're wondering." I state plainly as I get off of him. He turns around and sees me, anger overtaking his eyes.

"You cost me an open chance to kill that little brat today you saboteur!" He growls before lunging at me. I easily dodge his antics, resulting in him falling onto the floor.

"If you plan on killing me, you're going to need a lot more practice." I state before helping him up.

"And why do you want to kill Simba anyways?" I question.

"He is taking away my rightful place as next in line for the throne you could say." He responds dejectedly.

"What's your name, I'm Crow."

"They call me Scar." He replies.

"Are you the one that beat Mufasa in a battle?" He questions.

"That's me." I quickly mutter as I don't like Mufasa.

" .... How would you like to stay here in the pride lands? If you help me in a plan to kill Mufasa we can rule together and combine our prides." Scar explains, noting my obvious fighting capability.

"Why should I join you, my tribe is already unbeatable since I became king, and you wanted to kill your own nephew; you are stupid, why not just make him runaway so you don't have the death of the innocent and future king on your paws?" I voice as I sit down across from Scar on the rock ledge.

"It all depends on if you join me or not, so do we have an agreement?" He questions in a slightly cynical way.

"Possibly ." I reply in a grim tone with a subtle nod.

"I must inform my tribe, I will meet you here tomorrow with my tribe's decision." I say before sprinting across the land and reaching my new home in a matter of minutes. I wait for them to wake up before telling them the offer that has been proposed. I hope they stay, they are my family but if they don't wish to stay I will go with them; I am their leader after all and I must look out for them, not myself like my selfish brother had.

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."

Woodland Princess Ch.9: Memories

Ch.8 Ch.10

Lord Elrond had led Raerthar and I back to Rivendell. When we got there Raerthar and I both stared at the overview of it.

I was remembering how my father would sometimes send me here if he needed alone time to think, or if he found himself incapable of keeping me safe from a threat against his kingdom.

I now started to realize how much I missed my father, even though he seemed cold, he was quite caring and made sure we did what was right. I missed Legolas too, he could be cold like our father but he always was easier to make happy.

Now when I think about it, my father raised us very differently. When Legolas was a kid he had a loving mother and a caring father who always had a soft spot for him, but when I was raised I only knew my mother when I was very young before she died in battle.

After that, father became very cold and reserved, even towards me who he used to spoil with gifts and kindness.

He tried though, he really did, but he usually sent me over here when he couldn't deal with me or when he didn't want to be near me because as he said, "You look too much like your mother."

"I know it's been a while, but I've only ever seen you cry twice. This is the second time." Voiced Lord Elrond from beside me.

I quickly reached up with my hand and wiped it under my eyes.

'I shouldn't be crying, after all I'll see my family after this if my father hasn't banished me for leaving his kingdom unauthorized', I thought to myself before Raerthar began to walk to Rivendell.

Lord Elrond followed close behind, thinking to himself.

'I can read her thoughts as she can read mine, she was thinking about her father and how much she misses him. I always thought she would miss her brother more because he was more affectionate, but it's her father. I really should tell him about her being here, and I will but only after they've been gone for 2 days. That seems reasonable.'

We walk to Rivendell in silence, the guards have slightly encircled around myself and Lord Elrond seeing as we are the royalty in this group. As soon as we arrive the guards move forward and circle my company who stand in the center of the clearing.

Lord Elrond dismounts and greets Mithrandir while he orders a guard to take Raerthar to a stall but then quickly remembers how I said she hates small spaces and tells him to instead release her among the open pastures.

After he has the other elves leave everyone to the dining room he quickly comes over and hugs me. I hug him back, not letting any tears fall from my eyes as I look upon Rivendell.

"Aelsar if you really want to you can just skip the dinner, I remember how you are about eating alone in your room reading your books and writing your stories."

"I think I'll just go to the pasture and hang out with Raerthar. Not really that hungry." I say to Lord Elrond before going to get dinner so I can get back to Raerthar.

_______

I sat in the pasture, with Raerthar for mainly the rest of the day.

'Aelsar, you should go and feast with the rest of your kin. I'll be fine.' Spoke Raerthar as she was worried on how little I had been eating over the past few days.

'Now it will take awhile for you to get back into the flow of everything here, but you must go and socialize. The only people you've had an actual conversation with is Gandalf and I. You've been mostly quiet after the day Thorin yelled at you during the battle. I know you must be angry but you must go and see your friends. They will be worried about you.' Emphasized Raerthar as she nudged me towards Rivendell from within the pasture.

'Fine. I will go and have dinner with them, but if I don't like it I'm leaving.' Replied Aelsar in an understanding tone.

'Deal.' Replied Raerthar as she then used her magic to place Aelsar on her back, and then galloped towards Rivendell.

We reached the edge of the pasture which had a small walkway of stone and jewels that led out of the stables and towards the dining hall.

I silently slipped off Raerthar's back, saying goodbye and began walking down the path. It led me through a beautiful stone stable with a soft sandy ground.

As I reached the outside I saw the path that led to the dining hall. However I didn't want to disturb anyone or enter the room and gain their attention so I took a secret passageway that only Lord Elrond and I knew about.

The secret passage was hidden behind a tapestry which I simply pushed out of the way and walked through the stone corridor. At the end of the passageway there was a sharp turn and a statue which you simply pushed forward and it moved forward for it to move forward, and out of the way.

Ch.7 Ch.9

Corvina's POV:

We sat down and were eating some food we managed to steal, mainly some fruits like an apple or some plums. As we were sitting at a table, talking to each other, the TV showed Captain America fighting Ultron on a train. I looked at the others and they looked slightly guilty, as did I.

"Do you think we should help?" Questioned Pietro, Wanda looked ashamed that we helped him while I felt really ashamed as I was the one who made the main decision for all of us.

"Fine, but we all have to agree." I stated. The twins nodded their heads in agreement, I showed a slight smirk of confidence before I shadow traveled us onto the train.

The train was moving at a fast speed, and the end of the tracks was nearing. When we appeared many of the people were startled and then scared because they'd probably seen us on TV as the bad guys who helped Ultron, but we didn't have time to care seeing as Cap was getting beat pretty badly.

Pietro rammed into Ultron, causing him to turn away from Cap and pay attention to a new threat. Ultron was about to shoot at Pietro but I summoned a shadow dagger and stabbed Ultron's shoulder.

He yelled in anger, then grabbed my arm and threw me into a wall. Wanda forced the railings between us, creating a wall around me after seeing me slowly get up. Ultron, however, flew out of the train and left us. I pushed myself up using my dark energy force.

"Can you slow the train down?" Cap asked Wanda and me while she rushed to help me regain my balance. Wanda simply nodded her head as I did the same.

"I need you to get the civilians out of the way." Cap ordered Pietro, but Pietro was already out of the train, moving people out of the way. Wanda and I put all our energy into stopping the train.

I had the shadows of buildings grabbing the shadow of the train in an effort to slow it down while Wanda used her magic to jam the wheels of the train. We were luckily able to stop the train with the only casualty being the conductor, who was already dead.

We rushed out of the train to see how Pietro was, he looked super exhausted.

"Pietro are you okay?" Wanda and I asked in unison. He simply waved us off and said he was fine.

"I'm very tempted not to give you one," Cap says as he walks towards us.

"The cradle did you get it?" Wanda questioned.

"Stark will take care of it." Cap says, my head snaps up in anger, I take a step forwards,

"No he won't." I state.

"You don't know what you're talking about, Stark's not crazy."

"He will do anything to make things right." Wanda voiced as she looked at Cap. There is a silence that settles over him, he then goes to his comm and tries to contact Stark but gets no answer.

"Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it, where do you think he gets that?" Wanda explains to Cap as he thinks about it.

Personally, I'm going to stop Stark whether Cap here agrees or not, I send a telepathic message to the twins and they agree. We all stand, and they each hold one of my arms as we stand close together.

"What are you doing?" Cap asks in a questioning voice.

"We're going to see if the incredibly trusted Stark is as trustworthy as you say he is, now you can either come with us or take the long way." I say in an incredibly sarcastic tone when referring to Stark as trustworthy.

Cap thinks for a second and then grabs my arm like the twins are. The shadowy black fog that forms a barrier around us is then dropped after a second to reveal Avengers tower.

The Elder Maximoff Ch.1: Hail Hydra

Ch.2

Pietro's POV:

I was waiting in the shadows of the cell with Wanda, our sister still hasn't come back from the experimentation lab in HYDRA. It has been nearly four days so I was starting to get worried.

Every time we ask Strucker where she is he never gives a straight answer, just says she is still understanding her abilities. We couldn't do anything though, apparently she was still learning to control her abilities since they were the most complex HYDRA has ever seen.

According to Strucker her powers include umbrakinesis(ability to control shadows), darkness manipulation, telepathy, and mental manipulation.

Apparently there are also a few other powers she has but Strucker refused to tell us. I was still worried though and Wanda hasn't been the same since they took our sister away.

I hope she gets a handle on everything soon, I don't think Wanda or myself can go much longer without her.

_______

Three Years Later

Corvina's POV:

It has been quite a while since I've seen my brother or sister. Each day I was tortured and injected with some sort of serums. It has happened so many times that I can no longer feel the burning pain that comes.

HYDRA told me that I would receive powers if the treatment went right, but they still seemed to not be finished. I'm not sure how much longer these tests will continue.

I've had my legs and arms broken in these many torture sessions, but as a result from the tests I've gained Osteokinesis, which allows me to make my bones stronger or into weapons, like forming claws out of the bones in my body. It's kind of cool, but really painful.

_______

Pietro's POV:

Wanda and I were in the back of the control room with Strucker, we haven't seen our sister in a long time, and whenever we look for her we're punished.

Strucker kept telling us that she was fine but I'm well beyond pissed and Wanda was a mixture of anger and concern for what happened to her. After all, usually if the test subjects didn't come back it meant they were dead from the results of the serums.

We are currently inside the control room, which had many soldiers buzzing around, checking the equipment and surveillance comms, when a speaker started saying loudly, 'Avengers are attacking, this is not a drill'.

While Strucker and another man were debating over something I grabbed Wanda and bolted out to the battle ground. All we ever wanted from an early point in our life was to hurt Stark for what he did to our family, and now we had that chance.

It was snowing, Wanda went back slightly to be near the fort so she could mess with the avengers who got past me. As for myself, I first went after the archer since he looked like the kind of guy just to annoy, also he was taking out the turrets.

_______

This is the first day in a long time that I'm outside of my cell. At first I thought it was for them to torture or inject with more serums, or maybe more training, but they led me into another room that was completely empty apart from a chair.

Before I could even ask why, they shoved me into the room and slammed the door shut. I sat in the chair, and that's when they started a video of some sort.

It was soon after they started it that I realized it was a video my younger brother and sister being tortured. I tried to contain the intense anger I felt, but when I heard them let out a scream; it was too much. I felt my newest power forming, a telekinetic blast as the scientists call it.

I looked down and saw a black mist shadow that curled around my hands. I was now infuriated, and when I heard another scream from the video I yelled out in anger and felt a huge force of power explode through me. I looked around and saw that the room had burst into rubble.

A black cloud surrounded the room, my umbra-kinetic power asserting itself as it did whenever I felt threatened or angered. It allowed me to blend in with the shadows.

Soon after, the room exploded, soldiers filing in, guns pointed at the dark shadow mist surrounding them. They could not see me so I decided to shroud them in more darkness, quickly slipping out of the room.

I was rushing down the hallways looking for my siblings when an alarm sounded saying that the avengers were here. I was searching frantically now for a way outside, knowing that my siblings heard the alarm and would want to kill the avengers, and as their eldest sibling I have to protect them.

I turned and saw the exit, as I ran outside I saw a frozen lake, with fresh powdery snow surrounding it.

When I neared the ice lake, it reflected like a mirror so I looked down to see my reflection since I haven't seen one in I believe two or three years. I looked down and was slightly surprised at what looked back. In my reflection I saw that I was skinny but muscular, with black strands of hair that was short and wavy, instead of my before experimentation dark brown hair.

I also noticed that my outfit that I was wearing before my powers came changed. Instead of a black shirt and leggings I wore at the base, they morphed into metal armor that was rugged looking and made me look more intimidating than normal.

It fit tightly and was like a crop top with long sleeves, with black ripped tight jeans, I was also wearing black steel toe boots that looked formidable, but were meant for the outside.

I turned around and was about to continue when I saw the figure of my sister walking towards the base.

"Well you look much more different than I remember." I voiced, my accent quite prominent against the relative silence. She turned and saw me, her eyes widened slightly as she ran over and embraced me. I returned the embrace and after a couple of seconds stood back. She looked into my eyes, tears gathering as her breathing hitched.

"Corvina? We searched and searched, but we couldn't find you...." Her voice trembled, her accent slurring some of her words.

"Shhhhh... It's okay Wanda, I'm here now and I'm not leaving." She nodded, releasing her from the embrace just as the scared voice of Strucker emanated from inside the base.

I looked at Wanda, and then motioned for her to grab my arm. She was confused but did. I looked in my mind to one of the halls nearest to where Strucker was that I remembered.

I looked around and saw the shadow black mist surrounding us. Wand was slightly scared since she tightened her grip around my arm, but in a moment the shadow withdrew and we were outside the room.
