Revamped! (I did nothing but add a small note at the end).

Project: New Generation - After years of growing up in their shadow, the kids of The Avengers are ready to face the world to save it from growing threats and sometimes even themselves.

Project: New Generation - Sneak Peek #1

"Everyone in this life is forced to grow up fast."

Emily walks down the hallways of SHIELD and stops when she sees the person who she's looking for. She sighs, still debating with herself again on whether she should actually go through with this. Seeing no other options after the others bailed, she continues walking towards her last option.

"James!" Emily exclaims, sounding as positive as she could be. "How are you, my great friend? I was trying to look for you earlier but couldn't find you. You know, you were my first choice."

"After Angela, Xavier, and Merida," James replies.

Emily's gleeful expression just got slapped off her face. Instead of apologizing, she gives James a look.

"Seriously?" She questions. "Is that going to be a thing because - "

Emily cuts herself off when she sees James begin to laugh. She doesn't understand why since she just blew his ego, but joins in awkwardly. He playfully throws an arm over her shoulders and rocks her from side-to-side like a ship at sea.

"You're my dear friend, Emily Stark," James tells her. "And you have been for a very long time. We're both very much alike, you and I - rich, good-looking, and fun at parties."

"We're entrusted with high levels of tech, enemies are out to get us, and others not only put their trust in our hands but their lives. If we screw up, the penalty is a lot more serious than getting caught breaking curfew."

Angela looks at the sky ahead of her from the pilot's seat of her quinjet. She takes a breath before making the choice to force it down as her father did during the war. Angela unbuckles her seatbelt and gets up. She straps on a jetpack and kicks open the window with all her might. The overwhelming wind-pressure entering the quinjet blows her back; but as she flies, she props herself on the wall with her knees bent and starts her jetpack. She soars out the window and hears her jet crash and explode behind her.

Angela flies higher in the sky and increases her speed. She looks up and sees her brother falling from above. Angela holds out her hands and grasps his arms. The impact of catching him causing the two of them to spin mid-air. Once they've stopped spinning, Angela hears Xavier which brings a smile to her face.

"That was close," Xavier says.

"How'd you know I'd make it in time?" Angela asks.

"Twin telepathy."

"It's no hyperbole when people say that lives are on the line. One wrong move and all your loved ones will die."

Iqadi looks at the ground. Her heart begins to swell as she turns her eyes white, rising up her arms. The night sky becomes darker than it already was as she fills it with thunder clouds. Everyone looks at her with their hands hovering over their weapons as they wonder what she's doing.

"Someone is taking you all down one-by-one and it will not rest until you are all taken care of," Iqadi states, purposely avoiding their eyes.

"Who?" Someone asks, scared of what the answer will be.

Iqadi looks at them, her eyes completely opaque. Lightning strikes in the sky behind them as her expression becomes sharp.

"I am," she admits.

"But that's the reason why we're fighting."

Apollo stares at his cousin who stands in front of him. Though he has seen her cry on numerous occasions and has witnessed her emotional breakdowns several times, the kind of sadness in her eyes was the type that has been there for over a decade. Sigyn looks up at him as tears fall from her eyes with a shrug of her shoulders as if that was supposed to enlighten the situation.

"We are going to have to accept it..." Sigyn whispers to him. "My time is finally running out..."

"No," Apollo replies.

He blinks and she's already gone.

"When all is said and done and you lose all your hope; you remember that you're not doing this for yourself, but for each other. You fight for your people, your friends, your family to keep them all alive, and they fight for you so that you can return home with them."

"Merida..." Daniel mutters, shaking his head. "I can't do this. I can't control the Hulk or - "

"They want a beast and you have that!" Merida exclaims at him. "You're just letting them beat it out of you!"

Daniel pauses, putting his head in his hands as he hears Merida load her bow in preparation for the next battle. He focuses on his breathing as he thinks about how much his Hulk and the damage it causes terrifies him. Then he comes to realize that those events have already plagued him and he walked away of those. Now Merida is involved and if he gets her in more danger because of him, that's even worse than a trauma, it's guilt.

Daniel feels his eyes turn green on their own. He looks up at Merida and she smirks a little.

"You trust him?" Daniel asks her.

"Without a doubt," Merida replies. "The real question is, do you trust him?"

Daniel takes a sharp breath, not answering that.

"Everything from SHIELD to The Avengers Initiative to Project: New Generation was built on that simple promise..."
