Hello fellow Reds, Silvers, Newbloods, Avengers, and S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, there are a few things that I wanted to clear up before you continue, just to prevent any confusion:

1. First of all, this story takes place before the first Avengers movie, if you are here for the avengers stuff, it won't happen until after the events of the first Red Queen book.

2. Natasha was able to lie to Elara because she actually has two abilities: her lightning ability and a psychic shield ability. The only reason that this is on the list is because no one knows about the ability, not even Natasha (though she has her suspicions). It can't even be silenced. And because Natasha doesn't really know about it, she doesn't know how to control it. Idk if I want to keep Nat oblivious to her second ability or if I want to mention this in the story yet (like have Julian bring it up or something)...what do you guys think I should do?

3. This one's important: Silver and Newblood abilities DO NOT work outside of Earth's atmosphere. I won't say why this is important, but just remember it for later. 😉

4. I understand that RQ takes place in the future (like a couple centuries in the future) and that the countries in the series inhabit what's left of North America after global warming and nuclear warfare (kinda like Panem in the Hunger Games), but I'm changing that time line to align with present day and the avengers time line. Also, Norta and the other countries aren't located in North America or any existing continent (yep, in this fanfic Earth is going to have eight continents), and it's the only continent that was largely affected by the genetic mutation that gave some humans silver blood (other continents have a few Silvers and Newbloods, but this continent has the most (like 85-90% of their population)). The problem is I don't know what to call the continent, and "The Continent That Has Those Humans With Silver Blood" doesn't really have a nice ring to it. So, there will be a contest to decide what the name of this continent will be, comment what you think the name should be, the winner will get a shout out in the next chapter (I'm gonna be writing another RQ fanfic crossover, and I'll alternate between the two, so idk when I'll update next).

5. Just in case anyone's interested, the other RQ fanfic crossover that I'll be writing, is a crossover between Red Queen and Percy Jackson.

Thank you all for the 90 views, I honestly didn't think anyone would read this. Well, except for maybe my best friend, who I kinda forced to read the introduction so that I could get feedback, but that was only the introduction, all my other uploads she read of her own free will (so a special thanks to her, even if she hasn't read Red Queen).

XOXO, HamiltonFanGirl1508
