Chapter Three
I was sitting at the table in Clint's room. The Avengers were all there, having been almost there to begin with. Three more people joined us since they were the final three members of the Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
The first was a man who was somewhere in the middle of the others. He had slicked back blonde hair. His eyes were hazel, though to me they looked more brown. He was leaning against the wall, kind of just fiddling with something in his hands. This was Dr. Hank Pym. This guy was a genius. I actually looked up to him. He made these things called Pym particles that can grow or shrink things. He used them to become the hero Ant-Man. You might also know him has Giant Man.
Beside Hank was a women. She had short brown hair that kind of grew away from her hair in an unnatural way. Her light brown eyes were staring down at whatever Hank was working on, seeming to find it interesting. She was the shortest one in the room which made her seem cute. This was Janet Von Dyne, aka the Wasp. She used the Pym particles to shrink and had the ability to grow wings and such.
The last man and Avenger was an African man. This actually is something I should mention because it plays to who he is. He had short black hair that was neatly trimmed and clean cut. His dark brown eyes were looking around the room like a cat ready to pounce. That was very fitting to the Black Panther. That's who this guy was. His real name was T'Challa, the king of Wakanda. For those who don't know, Wakanda is a country in Africa that is mostly hidden from the world. Told you it came into play.
"So what did you all want to talk to me about?" I finally asked after a few moments, not looking that most of them were staring at me.
"I can't believe you're Black Dragon," Clint told me, shacking his head. "What did you say your name was?"
"Dr. Britney Drites," I answered, feeding Zumala some bread crumbs. Don't feed your dragons just anything kids. Some dragons only eat meat, others only eat plants, and others eat about anything. Just depends on the breed you get.
"What's a normal doctor like you doing with the powers of dragons?" Hank asked, finally looking up from whatever he was holding.
"I could say the same for a lot of you but I guess I'll be nice," I chuckled a bit. "Long story short I nearly died so a group called the Black Dragon Society took me in and gave me the powers of their leader, the Black Dragon. That kept me alive and keeps me from dying from a head injury that was supposed to be deadly."
"That's sure is something," Janet told me, sitting down in one of the many chairs in the room. I think an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D brought a lot more in because it looked like they were multiplying.
"I suppose. Now I want an answer to my question: what do you want from me?"
"Long story short is we want you to join the Avengers," Tony explained to me. "You have what it takes to be a good member of the team. You help everyone who needs you to help. Plus the powers you have could be very helpful to the team. We are always looking for new members. So what do you say? You want in?"
I looked at him, than at the others. I wanted to say no at first and nearly did. But I stopped myself from doing so. I don't know why. Maybe because I didn't want to be a jerk who just said no without thinking about it. Or maybe it was because of some other reason, but either way I stopped myself. I sat there for a few minutes, asking myself if I did want to join the team. They got into a lot of trouble that I wasn't really looking for. But they helped a lot of people. Much more than what I did. Maybe I did want to save lives outside of the hospital. Maybe I could do some good for this team. Maybe I could do something with these powers besides useless crimes.
Maybe I could be an Avenger.
I couldn't believe I was about to say what I was going to say. I guess the impossible can happy.
"Alright Stark, I'll join your team," I told him with a smile. When do I start?"
"Really?" Tony asked me. "You'll join?"
"Sure, why not? You've all been bugging me about it for so long I guess I'll see what all the fuss is about. Plus it might be fun to save the world all the time."
"That's great," Steve told me, standing up. I stood up with him, shacking his hand when he offered it. "It'll be good to have another member."
"I'm just glad it's another girl," Janet told them. "Natasha and I were starting to get worried you all wanted an all guy's team and we would have to knock some sense into you!"
"No kidding," Natasha chuckled.
"I guess a doctor would be useful," Clint joked with them.
"Mostly with how injured you can get," T'Challa joked back with a smile. That was the first thing I've heard from this man's mouth. I nearly looked around and asked who was there.
"From what I've seen you are a notable warrior Lady Britney," Thor congratulated me, patting my back. The guy was really strong and I nearly fell over just because of his strength and not being ready. "And to tame a dragon is no small feat either. I look forward to fighting side by side with you."
"You'll need this," Tony spoke up, handing me a card. "Come by the Avenger's Mansion and we'll get you all ready to go."
"For now I say you get some rest. You'll need it," Steve said with a smile.
I stood up, walking out of the hospital when my shift was over. All I could think about is what the hell I was getting myself into.
