❝Dearest Diary...That's how you're supposed to begin isn't it?I wouldn't know. I'm rather new to this diary writing lark.❞Young Charles Francis Xavier is privileged, cloistered and educated.Being the inhabitant of a mansion, the heir to a bottomless fortune and attending the best private school in the tri-state area, anyone would've thought there was nothing more a teenager could want.Richness can't buy his father back from the grave. Wealth can't afford him a loving step family. Opulence can't purchase him an ordinary life. A thousand lavished rooms can't compensate for the neglect he feels from his mother. A fleet of flash cars doesn't make up for the bullying he experiences at school. Every last penny cannot make up for the horrors of the verbal and physical abuse of his step-dad. But some influence and affluence can cover any incidents. Any blemish in his family's public persona is swiftly glossed over. His diary encompasses his daily struggles: the anxiety that comes with his teenage years, the development of telepathic powers and the intense fear that one day, his step-dad may overstep the mark. Just for once, you can listen in on the telepath's thoughts.…

~ W A T T P A D F E A T U R E D ~A Natasha Romanoff & Clint Barton origin story.❝My name is Natalia Alianovna Romanova and I work for the KGB. But my life is something of a lie. I work for no one. I work for myself. And I always work alone. I have a very specific skill set. I have charm. I have wit. I have sex appeal. I play to the common weaknesses of men, pulling them in on an invisible thread, ensnaring them in my inescapable web and striking mercilessly like a poisonous spider. For that reason, they call me the Black Widow. I'm cunning, ruthless and utterly unstoppable. I am a one woman fighting machine. I can do more damaged unarmed than most people could do armed. ❞ ❝My name is Clinton Francis Barton and I work for S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm the deadliest agent they have on a squad of suits and scientists. I'm the masked vigilante with a bow and arrow and I never miss. I have keen eyes. I have perfect aim. I have agility. I can shoot down any adversary from any distance, and they never see me coming. They call me Hawkeye, because I have the vision of a bird of prey and I strike just as precisely. I'm strong, I'm dexterous and utterly remarkable. I'm a one man invasion. I can cause more destruction with a Palaeolithic weapon than most people can do with a gun.❞ Two nomadic souls; one American, one Russian. Completely unlike one another. Or so they think. This is a tale of prejudice, politics and passion in Budapest.#60 in Fanfiction (23/10/2015)…
