A/N: Hello, everyone! Thank you for reading my story! That being said, this is my first story, so I'm sorry if it isn't that good. Please be nice in the reviews if you leave them. Thank you!

Thor discovered Loki's secret frozen lair in Asgard after his brother had meddled in the affairs of Midgard, sending in ice trolls to freeze New York. "Loki!" Thor boomed as he appeared in the middle of the chamber in front of his startled brother. "I warned you once before to cease your meddling in the affairs of Asgard!" He snapped.

"Ah, yes, brother, I did indeed hear your warning," Loki started, looking away for a moment, "Hard not to hear that noisy buffoon," He grumbled, before turning back to Thor with a smirk on his face. "But I decided not to heed it and do as I please." Loki said, readying his scepter. "And defeating you would please me very much!" He said.

"Then prepare to be disappointed once again, brother!" He said, readying Mjolnir, firing his lightning as Loki shot an energy beam from his scepter at Thor, the powers meeting in the center and briefly struggling against the other in an attempt to overpower the other force for their master, but eventually Loki's energy was overtaken and the Prince of Lies was blasted back into a wall at the end of a hallway, disarmed of his scepter. Looking up at Thor in panic as the God of Thunder readied his hammer, quickly hurrying down the hall to the right. Thor grumbled and hurried after Loki, rounding the corner and flinging Mjolnir the instant he cleared the corner, forcing Loki to dive to the ground to avoid the hammer, which proceeded to smash through a pillar instead. "Ooh... Hopefully the other pillars can hold the roof up... best not linger to be safe." Thor said to himself, calling Mjolnir back to him as he approached Loki, who just got back to his feet, using a nearby table to pull himself back up, only for Thor to grab him and pin him to the table. "Now, brother-!" Thor snapped, raising Mjolnir again.

"No, wait! Thor, I yield!" He pleaded.

Thor let out a shout and prepared to swing the hammer, planning only to hit the table and scare Loki to ensure the trickster did indeed surrender, but instead was distracted as he noticed a strange orb of light in the middle of the table, producing a large projection of a group of young warriors fighting a small army of strange monsters. "What is this?" Thor asked.

"Ah, yes, my scrying mirror. Well, you see, brother, after the CONSTANT interfering of you and the rest of your annoying Avengers friends, I decided to perhaps find a different realm or world FAR from the likes of you I may be free to take over. And I must admit, this one interests me." Loki said as he watched a bit of the vision with Thor.

The God of Thunder also seemed to be taking interest in the fighting, but noticed that much of these visions seemed to revolve around for young girls. "Spying on young girls brother? I honestly didn't think I could be more disappointed in you." Thor jabbed.

"Oh, shut up, you big ape! I can say with certainty that there has been no amount of lecherous imagery or behavior in the entirety of the events I have seen!" Loki defended himself.

"Interesting. I may have to take this off your hands, brother. Today is the Black Widow's birthday and she may enjoy this as a present." Thor said, before looking at the orb of light projecting the image. "Although, I may need alternate means to display these images. Assist me in doing so and I may see to it that Father will be lenient in your punishment." He said.

Loki sneered at this, however. "Give me one good reason why I should help you!" He snapped.

"Remember when we were boys!?" Thor demanded, raising Mjolnir in a different, yet horrifyingly familiar way to Loki.

"No! Not the hammer noogie! Anything but that!" Loki pleaded, before letting out a sigh. "Fine!" He snapped. Suddenly, The light changed and turned into a number of DVD's, case and all.

"See? Doesn't it feel good using your talents for something useful?" Thor asked, somewhat teasingly, picking up a case. "Ru.. Ru-wiby? Strange name..." Thor pondered.

"It's pronounced 'Ruby', you fool! Like the gem! The name is an acronym, like those S.H.I.E.L.D, cretins you and your super friends work for!" Loki snapped. Then he simply sighed at this. "Just get me to Odin. I've had enough of our 'brotherly bonding' for one lifetime." He said as Thor collected the DVD's and placed a hand on Loki's shoulder, having Heimdall take them back to Asgard.

Meanwhile, at Avengers tower, Natasha Romanoff AKA the Black Widow, smiled as she opened her next gift from Hawkeye, a coffee mug with the former assassin printed on it as an adorable chibi figure. "Aww, how sweet, Clint. I always wondered how I'd look as cute little cartoon." Natasha said with a small giggle, setting it next to the rest of her presents: a CD of ballet music from Hulk, a new suit from Iron Man, offering twice the protection without limiting her agility or maneuverability and a pack of baseball cards from Captain America..

"Just thought I'd get you something to remind you how cute and precious you are." Clint Barton, better known as Hawkeye said, jokingly as ever.

"Wow, do you ever get tired of making lame pick up lines?" Tony Stark AKA, Iron Man, asked.

"Do you ever get tired of saying how much of a genius you are?" Clint countered.

"Touche'." The billionaire conceded.

"Guys, can we not fight on days like this, it's Natasha's birthday, it's supposed to be about her, not messing around and jabbing at each other like always." Steve Rogers, or Captain America, told the feuding Avengers.

Natasha chuckled at this. "Thanks, Cap, but I'm just happy to spend the day with my friends, so part of that is letting my friends be themselves," She said, to which all the avengers smiled at.

"Well, isn't that sweet. Too bad all your friends didn't show up, though." Tony said, giving somewhat of a glare to Thor's empty seat.

"Yeah, where's Goldilocks? Couldn't even show up on Widow's birthday?" Hulk, the brutish yet heroic alternate state of Bruce Banner, asked, angry that Thor would miss something important like this.

However, as if on cue, the God of Thunder entered the room. "Fear not, friends! I made it. I merely had to deal with my brother again." Thor explained, the Avengers nodding in understanding and slight annoyance at the mention of Loki. "But, it did have one advantage. Loki had an excellent gift." Thor said, handing Widow the DVD's.

"R.W.B.Y, huh? The title sounds interesting at least. And the girls on the front look like they mean business." Widow said as she observed the case artwork.

"Loki tells me it is pronounced 'Ruby', much like how SHIELD is meant to be pronounced without the break in letters." Thor explained.

"But SHIELD is still spelled the same if you take the periods away. Take them away and that sounds like Ruh-wiby." Tony poked fun at the name.

"Well, I'm pretty interested in checking it out. It'll be nice to watch something while we have some cake and ice cream." Widow said, heading to the TV and setting it up.

"Yeah! Cake!" Hulk said eagerly.

So, the Avengers each got a slice of cake and a scoop or two of ice cream (or, in Hulk's case, the rest of the gallon) and watched as the show started...

The beginning chords of "Red Like Roses" were heard as the black revealed the words:

ROOSTER TEETH presents...

"What an absurd title! Even Midgardian children know roosters do not have teeth!" Thor scoffed.

"It's probably meant as a gimmick or a joke, Thor. Something to catch the people's eyes, not to be taken seriously. Like that sun screen with the puppy pulling down the girl's swimsuit. You ask me, that girl should've been a little older." Tony explained.

"Really? THAT'S the first place you went?" Steve questioned the billionaire.

"I'm liking the music so far..." Widow said, lightly swaying with the soft, lulling music.

The text glowed and scatters in red and white petals, and the full moon is shown amid falling snow and a floating red petal.

A new series by MONTY OUM (Rest in Peace, Monty)

"Monty Oum, huh? Props to him, then. Animation looks nice so far." Stark said.

Several more petals joined the original, which passed over the words and dissolved them in red and black.

A figure in a red hood and flowing cloak was seen under the moon and in a snowy landscape, the cape constantly producing dozens of wind-blown rose petals. An altar was seen near the edge of the cliff that the person was standing at, who turned and walked away to let the Avengers see the rose symbol on the marker and the words "Summer Rose - Thus Kindly I Scatter".

"What is the meaning of that altar?" Thor asked. Asgard doesn't (or at least no longer) bury their dead and mark graves with tombstones, they ship the bodies in ceremonial boats off the sea to the end of the world.

"It's a grave, Thor. The kid's paying respects to someone close they lost. By the name, I'm guessing her mother." Steve said solemnly. They had all seen the cover and assumed it was the first girl, likely the "R" of "RWBY".

"Oh..." Thor said, a bit ashamed at his ignorance.

"What I wanna is why flower petals keep coming from her cape." Hulk said. No one had an answer for that.

The red-hooded wanderer slowly walked through a snowy forest, where shadowy, beastly shapes quickly darted through, before coming to a clearing and coming to a stop, the screen briefly cutting to black, returning to a panning shot of around a dozen black-coated, red-eyed Beowolves circling their prey.

"What are those things? They don't look like regular wolves to me. They look like some kind of werewolves." Steve wondered.

"The child is in danger." Thor said, somewhat concerned.

"A girl about to be mauled, not the way I'd start the show." Tony said, also a bit worried.

"Just wait. I'm sure she can handle herself." Widow said, confident in her fellow female.

Three of the monsters decided to dash forward and attacked through jumping, but the figure disappeared in a swish of rose petals, to which the creatures crashed to the grounded and looked up.

Outlined by the moon's light, her cape swirling around her body, was the girl, who reached behind her in slow-motion, pulled out a rifle, and fired a shot that blew a large part of a Beowolf's head out in a burst of blood-red smoke.

The Avengers all jumped slightly at this. "WHOA!" They all shouted.

"Man, I don't know what that thing is, but it's got some power! And the girl's got some nice aim!" Hawkeye said, impressed.

"It looks like some kind of high-powered rifle that can be changed into a compact form for concealment and carrying convenience." Tony said, wanting to get a look at the weapon himself.

"Looks like the werewolves bit off more than they can chew!" Hulk smirked.

"Yeah, they did! Come on, short stuff! Show them what a little girl power can do!" Widow said, getting into the action, eager to see how the girl handled herself.

"Let's see what she can do!" Steve said as they kept watching.

More Beowolves started to attack as the girl landed. She leapt over the first beast and shot it in the back, then, still in the air, blasted another one's side and got into a position where she can fire at the third dead center. She rolled back and stood, unfolding her weapon into its larger - and deadlier - scythe form.

"Now it's a scythe?!" Hawkeye asked in disbelief.

"An impressive choice of weapon! Few Asgardians used scythes, but the ones that did were mighty, fierce warriors!" Thor said approvingly.

"This girl keeps getting cooler by the second!" Widow said in amazement.

"That thing's gotta be bigger than her!" Hulk said.

"I gotta see some blueprints for that thing!" Tony said, just trying to imagine how something like that would work.

"Maybe not something I'd use, but it looks like it'll get the job done." Cap said as he watched.

One of the braver Beowolves went forward, but the girl merely spun, hooked its body in the curve of her blade and smiled at the camera as the monster growled, then fired the sniper section at speeds that severed the creature's body in a shower of petals (earning a cheer from Hulk and Thor). Both halves landed on the ground, continuing to bleed roses as it dissolved, the rest of the pack charging.

(It faded away like nothing. So it's not any normal animal. Then I guess we don't have to feel bad about her cutting them to ribbons.) Captain America thought.

The girl rotated the weapon, unloaded her spent bullet and drove the blade into the ground, firing from a single spot at several approaching monsters until one swiped at her feet, narrowly missing as she jumped up with her scythe and blasted back, digging it into the ground again when she saw more creatures emerging from the woods.

"Oh, come on! More of 'em! That's a little demoralizing." Hawkeye said, imagining himself in that position. He'd be running short on arrows at this point.

"She doesn't seem too worried." Widow said.

"Just more stuff in the way that needs to go." Hulk said.

"A warrior never runs from a challenge and this girl is most certainly a warrior!" Thor cheered.

A Beowolf almost got her with its claws, but she twisted out of the way, fired at the monster in front of her to make the weapon and wielder spin, and kicked at the one behind her.

"Ooh, now that's style!" Tony said.

She twirled the scythe and cut down Beowolves from both sides, dodging another attack to hook a beast in and blasted out at an approaching creature to kill both.

"She's doing a great job keeping them at the right range and balancing offense and defense." Steve noticed.

The girl leapt over two, went in to dismember and cut down one, and caught another's neck in her blade with her on the beast's back before pulling the trigger and beheading it while flying upwards. Two Beowolves followed, but she shot her way down and slices them up when she has to block from a wolf's swipe on the ground, which pushes her back and lets her see the large number of enemies left.

"Good save with the block." Widow said.

"Yeah, but look at how many that are left! That's a tall order for one person-" Hawkeye started.

"Not for me." Hulk said.

"Nor I." Thor added.

"Well, it is for a little girl!" Hawkeye countered.

"With everything we've seen so far, I'm guessing she's got something up her sleeve." Tony said.

Nodding, the girl dropped her previous cartridge, inserted another with a cross symbol, loaded it in, and blasts off at a higher speed than ever before, coming at the dumbfounded Beowolves like a rocket when she converted the scythe to a sickle-shape and spun her way through the mass, cutting up and down, left and right, leaving bullets, rose petals, and blackened body parts flying into the air. She disemboweled them quicker and quicker until the last one fell, she blasted into a jump, and landed in a pose with her scythe hanging behind her as bullets rained from the sky.

The Avengers were left in awe at this, trying to process what they just saw. But after a moment, Thor, Hulk and even Widow were on there feet, cheering. "Oh, yeah! Don't ever say us girls are the weaker gender!" Widow said, proud Ruby is setting an example as a strong female character.

"For such a small child, this girl is a mighty warrior!" Thor cheered.

"Yeah! She made those werewolves look like overgrown puppies!" Hulk laughed.

"I'd say she could even give you, me or Widow a run for our money." Cap said to Hawkeye.

"Yeah! She put all those monsters down before her bullet casings even hit the ground! Stark, how fast you think she had to be going?" Hawkeye asked.

"To take out all those beasts before her casings hit the ground, she would've had to have dealt with them in less than a second. Without making too many calculations, a rough estimate is at least the speed of sound." Stark said, although he sounded like he couldn't even process it.

The girl's form was darkened to a silhouette against the red moon while credits were seen under her image, right before the picture spun and slid itself into the collection of other unseen girls, though the girl's concept art was illuminated once more a moment and the title of the show is announced as RWBY

"Huh. Looks like this and the next 3 episodes are just little trailers to introduce us to the girls on the cover and let us see a little of what they've got and what they're like." Tony said.

"Yeah, we saw Red there was awesome and super fast!" Hulk said.

"And she still managed to smile every now and then, so we can assume she's still pretty innocent and playful, despite slaughtering a small army of those werewolves." Widow analyzed.

"But they were some kind of strange monsters, bleeding rose petals and dissolving into nothing, they weren't any kind of animal, so it's not like she was being cruel to any animals." Captain America added.

"Even if they were, they came at her first. She had plenty reason to defend herself." Hawkeye said.

"Either way, if she's the first, I can't wait to see what the next ones are." Widow said, playing the next episode.

There we go, the first episode is done! Thank you for reading this. Sorry if the set up to the reaction was weak, it was all I could think of. I also apologize, I had planned on giving Tony a decent moment to math out and analyze just how fast Ruby was actually moving, but the video that had all the math and such done must have been deleted or removed, because I couldn't find it, so I didn't have the proper calculations to confirm Ruby's actual speed. But still, I hope you enjoyed it and I'll try to get the next episode out as soon as possible.
