Hey everyone, this is a story I thought about doing initially as a Naruto/Agents of Shield/Marvel crossover, but my Naruto/Marvel Cinematic Universe story will take care of that, so I decided to try an OC story instead, with some elements inspired from Chronicle that I wouldn't make a full story of but can use elements in this. This story takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will also include elements from those movies and my OC will be involved with the Avengers but mostly with the Agents of Shield. Enjoy!

The Perfect One: From humble beginnings comes great destiny

Atlantic City, New Jersey: 2010

Atlantic City, New Jersey was known for a few things in history: beaches, boardwalks, casinos and for being the city that inspired the board game Monopoly. But soon it would be known as the city where one of the world's mightiest heroes would be born. The city was a popular destination for people looking for a vacation or a good time and mostly home to tourists while the people who worked and lived in the city got use to the casinos and packed beaches of tourists.

One such person was a young 21-year-old man who was just trying to live his life. His name was William Detmer. William never knew his birth parents since he was dropped off at an orphanage when he was just a baby. He was then adopted by the Detmer couple, a happy married couple who couldn't conceive so they adopted him when he was a baby. William's adopted father was Harold Detmer, a former Airforce captain/member of the Air Force Combat Control Teams before he retired and became a police captain while his mother Mary Mace Detmer was a doctor. William had a nice childhood, his adopted parents were amazing and William was happy. He went to school, played soccer, track, and field up through high school, got good grades and lived his life. (1)

William earned a full ride at NYU to study psychology and mechanical engineering. William liked to tinker with things as much as he liked to try and understand the complexity of the human mind or as his dad put it, mess with people. He loved shows like Law & Order, Criminal Minds, and the Mentalist so possibly pursuing a career in that field seemed like a great idea to him. It was the middle of his spring term of his junior year and he had a long weekend, so William went home. It was Friday night and William was at a party with some of his friends from High School near Great Island, close to the water. William had a few beers in him and was walking by the water to clear his head while his friends were enjoying themselves.

He finished his beer and kicked a stone into the water as he looked up at the clear night sky with stars flickering above. [Sighs] "Damn I missed this." William said to himself, enjoying the peace and quiet.

He put his beer down and sat on the ground as he looked at the stars and noticed one of them glow brighter and brighter and seemed to be getting closer. It was getting really closer when William knew it wasn't a star and quickly ran back as the meteor flew from the sky and crashed into the sand bars near the water. William dove to the ground and covered his head, thinking it would be a huge explosion but it was fairly mild. The sound could have been mistake for a large firework or a car backfiring if you didn't see the meteor.

William stood up and dusted his jeans as he looked over to where the meteor fell and saw it had a faint blue glow to it. "Holy shit." William said to himself as he walked over and saw the meteor was about the size of a car tire. It was a chunk of glowing blue rocks that looked like diamonds or crystals. Will got closer and saw that the entire meteor was made of the crystal structure that glowed a bright blue/white. It pulsated every few seconds and when it did it glowed brighter, then dimmed and repeated. He could feel heat radiating from the meteor yet it felt comforting.

William took out his phone and began recording video of the meteor. "Holy shit. This is insane." William said as he walked into the crater and got closer. "No one is going to believe this."

William walked closer to the meteor as his curiosity got the better of him than his sense of danger. He looked and saw the veins of the meteor were glowing blue like the rest of the meteor. William slowly reached his hand out and touched the rock and it felt cool, like the first cold wind of fall. When William touched the meteor, he accidently pricked his finger on a sharp edge and a drop of blood hit the rock.

"Shit." Will said as he pulled his hand when he saw the meteor began pulsating more frequently like your heart would if you were running or scared. William stepped back as it began pulsated more and more and then began to glow bright blue/white and shined on Will with an intensity that made him shield his eyes. Will then felt rush of cold air whoosh past him like someone hit him with an air gun.

"Argh…" William grunted in pain as he grabbed his head with his left hand, experiencing one hell of a migraine but managing to stay on his feet. William noticed the meteor was started to dim but the veins of the meteor began to pulsate like a liquid was running through them.

Will looked at his arms and saw they were glowing bright blue/white, just like the meteor as the glowing seemed to melt into his veins and blood as he saw channels of the blue light course throughout his arms. If someone was watching Will, they'd have seen the blue light course throughout his entire body like someone put dozens of blue tracers in his blood and muscle pathways. The glowing energy then began to dim as the meteor shot out a blue beam of energy that hit Will. It looked like the veins in the meteor were being drained into Will as they pulsated less and less. When the veins were empty, the beam of energy stopped, and Will felt blood dripping from his nose but that was the least of his worries as his migraine turned into feeling like his brain was going through a blender.

"ARGH!" William shouted as the pain was unbearable and it was now accompanied by an extremely loud ringing. His head felt like it was going to explode. He then hit the ground and passed out from the pain. In his unconscious state, he missed the meteor pulsate one more time before it disintegrated into dust. The powder collected on the ground and was blown away by the wind and water. (2)

William squinted his eyes in pain as he opened them and immediately shut them because there was a bright light in his face. He slowly opened them and used his arm to try and block some of the light so his eyes could adjust. He saw a whole bunch of other lights shining down at him.

"Whoa, hang on. He's waking up." William heard as he looked to see it was his friends looking down at him and the bright lights were the flashlights on their phones. "Hey, Will. You ok? We saw this bright light and came over and found you on the ground."

"Yeah…give me a moment." William said as he felt like he was getting over the biggest hangover of his life. "I must have…passed out. Did you guys see it?"

"See what?" One of them asked.

"There was a meteor." William said as he looked saw the glowing meteor was gone.

"Will, there was nothing here. Come on. Let's get you home." One of them said as they helped Will up and the soberest person drove him home. And when he got home he immediately crashed in his bed and didn't wake up until 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

William woke up in his bed groggy and confused as to what happened last night. He looked at his alarm clock and saw it was 2 in the afternoon. "What the hell happened last night?" Will asked himself as he managed to stand up. He still had a slight headache from last night but he didn't know if it was from the alcohol he drank or the lingering brain ache.

He walked over to the bathroom and splashed some water on his face to try and wake him up. He wiped his face with a towel and looked in the mirror, not noticing anything different so he ruled out a weird mutation from the meteor. He pulled his eyelid down and saw his eyes were ok, a little tired but nothing that wasn't abnormal. He scratched his hair and walked to the kitchen where he saw his mom and dad talking.

"Will, are you all right? You're usually up earlier than this." Mary said as she walked over and hugged him.

"Yeah…I'm fine." Will said as he sat down at the kitchen table and rubbed his forehead.

"You sure, Will?" Mary asked as she got him a cup of coffee.

"Too much fun, last night?" Harold asked as he looked over the paper.

"No…nothing like that." Will replied as he took a sip.

"What's wrong?" Harold asked.

"Dad, was there any report of a shooting star or…meteor crashes last night?" Will asked.

"No, not that I've heard." Harold replied as he and Mary was confused.

"Well, last night I walked near the water to get some air and peace when I noticed a shooting star getting closer and closer and saw it was actually a meteor." Will told them.

"A meteor?" Mary asked as Will nodded.

"Yeah, a blue glowing meteor the size of a car tire. Wait, I got a video last night." Will said as he pulled out his phone and showed them the video. They watched and to Will's credit, it was an actual blue glowing meteor. The video showed the meteor glowing and then of William touching it.

"You touched it?" Mary asked as Will shrugged his shoulders.

"I got…curious. But nothing happened until it got a serious headache and then I passed out. My friends woke me up and when I came to the meteor was gone." Will said as Mary walked away to get some medical tools to give Will a quick check over.

"What were you thinking? You could have been infected with some kind of bug or that thing could have been putting out a whole bunch of radiation and could be killing you." Mary said as she scolded him and checked him over.

"Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Besides, I'm fine. I'm not coughing up blood or growing a third eye. Just a bit of a headache." Will told them as Mary finished looking him over and he seemed fine.

"Well, you seem fine but I think we should get you to the hospital and get you checked out." Mary said as Will nodded.

"Fine, but first we need to see if the meteor is still there. If that thing is actually dangerous than we need to find it." Harold said as he got up and grabbed his gun and keys. "Let's go."

The Detmer's drove out to the place where Will and his friends had the party and when they got there they saw the signs and garbage that a party had taken place. "It's over by the water." Will said as they walked over to where Will saw the meteor and saw the impact crater. "It happened right here. Where did it go?"

"The impact crater proves you're right but it's gone. Could it have gotten washed out by the water?" Mary asked.

"No, the tide doesn't come this close in. Unless it grew legs and walked away, maybe someone came and took it. I'll make some calls and drag the water just in case and have everyone on the lookout for anything unusual." Harold said as he began making calls.

"In the meantime, let's get you to the hospital." Mary said as they drove Will to the hospital to get him checked out.

A minute after they left, dozens of black-tinted vans arrived and began forming a perimeter. Men in black suits, tactical gear and hazmat suits got out and began setting up equipment. In one of the lead vans, one of the men in black suits stepped out and looked around. He was wearing black shades and had a sense of authority and duty about him. He took out a phone and made a call.

"Coulson reporting in. Alpha team on site and beginning investigation as to the possibility of an 084." Agent Coulson said as he finished his call.

Will and his family were at the hospital as Mary used her pull to get a private room to do her own examination on her son. Will was stripped down and in a hospital gown while his dad was making calls. Will had just been through several blood and urine tests, an x-ray scanning, an EKG, and a brain scan and frankly he hoped that was it.

He sat on the hospital bed, his eyes shut and concentrating as his headache was finally gone. "Will?" Will opened his eyes and saw his dad. "You ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Headaches finally gone and I feel fine." Will said.

"Good, but we'll see what your mother has to say." Harold told him as Mary walked in with Will's charts.

"And she doesn't have much to say. According to every single medical test we ran, you're completely fine. No irregularities in body function although your blood did show a slight uptick in your Electrolytes." Mary said as Will shrugged.

"It's all that Gatorade." Harold told him as Will chuckled. "Anything else?"

"No. Everything seems fine. Your brain scan showed nothing abnormal and your body is fine." Mary told him.

"I guess that meteor was just a regular glowing rock." Will said as he stood up, grabbed his clothes, and went behind a curtain to change.

"There's still a possibility that the meteor exposed you to radiation or something that we don't even know about so I want you to take it easy for a bit." Mary told him as Will popped his head out from behind the curtain.

"Mom, I feel fine. And if something does happen, we'll take care of it." Will said as he stepped out, dressed in blue jeans, black sneakers, a black t-shirt, and a dark blue sweat shirt. "For now, I'd like to get out of here. Hospitals still give me the creeps."

"Fine. Let me put my things away and we'll get dinner." Mary said as they left.

They grabbed pizza and drove home, enjoying a nice dinner. After, Mary had paperwork to finish and Will was helping his dad finish fixing his black and red 1970 Harley Davidson Titan V-rod Motorcycle in the garage. (3) The motorcycle was his dad's pride and joy and was the culmination of 10 years of work and scrounging for parts. The engine block of the bike was completely custom and designed to run better than before but the hard part was that he was using all pre-1980 parts so no electronic chips or anything.

"Will, hand me a socket wrench." Harold said as Will handed him one. "And can you get me another screw from the box?"

"Got it." Will said as he walked over to the box of parts and grabbed the tools. He walked over to his dad when he got hit with a major headache.

"ARGH!" Will shouted as he dropped to his knees and grabbed his head as his brain felt like it was going through a cheese grater.

"Will!" Harold shouted as he ran over to his son and tried to help him. "Will, what's wrong? What's happening?"

"ARGHH! To…much…noise…." Will shouted as he looked at his dad and Harold couldn't believe his eyes. Will's normal brown eyes were glowing blue and so were his hands. "ARGH!"

Everything in the garage began to shake as things were sent flying across the room. Mary ran in and saw what was happening. "WILL!" Mary shouted as she joined her husband to try and help her son.

"I…can't focus…to much noise!" Will shouted as more things were sent flying and the motorcycle and his dad's police car began floating off the ground.

"Will, you need to relax and calm your mind. Just listen to my voice." Mary told him as Will tried to calm down but his headache was going crazy.

"I…need to…. release…ARGH!" Will shouted everything in the garage was blown out into the street like a huge gust of wind knocked them away but surprisingly Will, Harold and Mary stayed on the ground.

Will's hands and eyes stopped glowing and the things in the garage stopped moving. Will tried to catch his breath as he felt his headache was completely gone and he felt fine. "What's happening to me?" Will asked as Harold and Mary were a mixture of confused and scared as to what just happened.

"How did you do this?" Harold asked.

"I…I don't know. I don't think I even meant to do this." Will said.

"Are you ok? Any more pain?" Mary asked, extremely concerned as to what is happening to her son.

"No. In fact…I've never felt better. It's like the headaches and cloud on my head are gone." Will told them. "But how did I do this?"

"It must have been the meteor you found. It did this to you." Harold told him.

"But I did tests at the hospital and nothing was different." Mary said as they thought for a moment.

"Maybe because Will wasn't going through the headache. Before it happened, Will got the headache and his eyes turned blue." Harold said.

"My eyes turned blue?" Will asked as his dad nodded.

"Yeah, and so did your hands. And then everything started moving. When we were at the hospital you were fine so maybe nothing showed up on the tests." Harold said.

"But am I going to be having another headache episode?" Will asked as they thought.

"You said you needed to release. Release what?" Mary asked.

"Release pressure. My headache felt like my brain was going through a cheese grater but I also felt a lot of pressure." Will said.

"Maybe…that shockwave was you releasing pressure." Mary said as Will looked around and saw everything that happened.

"Jeez. I hope this doesn't happen again." Will said.

"Well…whatever happens we'll protect you, Will. Above all else, we'll keep you safe." Harold told him as he hugged his son.

"And how do we do that? You saw what I did. I'm a freak!" Will told them.

"You're not a freak. You're just…unique. It's like those comic book superheroes you read when you were a kid. Or like Tony Stark. You know, Iron Man." Mary told him.

"Tony Stark is a billionaire with a metal battle suit. I just made a mess." Will told them.

"Maybe we just need to help you control this." Harold told him.

"And that can happen tomorrow. Will, why don't you get some rest. It's been a long day." Mary told him.

"But what about the mess?" Will asked.

"I'll take care of it. Go, listen to your mother." Harold told him as Will got up and went to his room.

"Do you think we can help him? I mean making things move is way beyond helping him with his school work or dealing with girls." Mary asked.

"I don't know, Mary. But I do know one thing. If we tell people what happened to Will, he'll be whisked away to be a science puppet for whoever wants to find out what happened to him. And I'm not going to let our son become a lab rat." Harold told her as Mary nodded.

"I know and neither do I but Will has changed. How do we know he can control this?" Mary asked him.

"You saw what happened to the garage. He sent everything flying yet we're fine. I think he did that. He didn't want to hurt us. He can control it. Our son is strong." Harold said with confidence in his son.

"I know he is. So, what's the plan?" Mary asked.

"I train him like I trained in the Marines. If he can control this then we have nothing to worry about." Harold said as Mary nodded.

"And if someone does come looking for him? We protect our son however we can." Mary said as Harold nodded as he began cleaning the garage.

Will woke up the next morning and to his relief, nothing in his room or the house was destroyed or sent flying so he didn't have an episode when he was sleeping. He brushed his teeth and went to the bathroom before going down stairs for breakfast and saw his mom making pancakes, bacon, and sausage.

"Morning, Will." Mary said.

"Morning, mom." Will replied. "Mom…are you ok? After last night, I mean."

"I'm fine. I'm just worried about you." Mary said as Will smiled.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry I brought this to our door step. I shouldn't have touched that stupid meteor." Will said as he sat down.

"We can't change that now. But don't worry. Your father and I still love you and no matter what happens, we'll get through it together." Mary said as she placed down the food.

"Whoa, what's with the huge breakfast?' Will asked.

"Well, your father told you he'd help you control your new…powers. And knowing him, he's probably gonna put you through the ringer so you'll need your strength." Mary said as Will drank some coffee and ate a pancake.

After eating a nice breakfast and waiting about 30 minutes so he didn't puke right after, Will walked out to his backyard where his dad was waiting with a bunch of small items. "Morning, dad." Will said.

"Morning. So, I figured if we're gonna get control of your new…powers, then we'll need to understand them. But after seeing what happened last night, maybe we'll start small." Harold said as he tossed Will a baseball.

"Ok, good plan. So, what should I do?" Will asked.

"I want you to try and send the baseball flying like you did last night. But concentrate. First thing I learned in the marines is that a soldier's mind is their greatest weapon." Harold said as Will nodded as he exhaled. "Just clear your mind and concentrate."

"Ok, concentrate how? What should I do?" Will asked.

"Just concentrate on moving the baseball." Harold told him as Will closed his eyes and cleared his mind. He did his best and when he opened his eyes, he saw his hands were glowing blue and if he had a mirror he would see his eyes glowing blue as well. Will looked at the baseball in his hands and it slowly began to levitate but as it was rising in the air it was shaking, like Will's control wasn't perfect.

The baseball floated until it was eye level with Will and stayed there. Will then concentrated on making the ball spin and seconds later the ball began to slowly spin around.

"I'm doing it." Will said, excited that it was working.

"Nice. Now slowly move it over to me." Harold told him as Will concentrated and the ball slowly moved through the air like it was being carried by someone. When it near his dad, Will concentrated on the ball and it dropped out of the air and into his dad's hand. And when it did and Will relaxed, his eyes and hands stopped glowing. "Nicely done. So, what did that feel like?"

"It felt somewhat natural. I just focused my mind on what to do and it happened." Will said as Harold nodded and put the baseball down. He then picked up a plastic cup.

"Now, I want you to lift this up and bring it to you." Harold told him as Will nodded.

Will shook his hands and concentrated like before and his eyes and hands glowed blue. The cup then floated out of his dad's hands and moved over to Will. Will then tossed the cup in the air and before it hit the ground, his powers caught it midair. He then used his powers and put the cup down on the ground.

"You seem to be getting the handle on this." Harold told him as he tossed him a golf ball and Will caught it in his right hand.

"Yeah, this small stuff anyway." Will said as the golf ball floated out of his hands.

"Well, before nothing like this happened until the garage when your headaches came. Perhaps releasing all that pressure makes it easier." Harold said as Mary came out with some water bottles.

"How's it going?" Mary asked as Will moved the golf ball back to his dad.

"He's getting the hang of it." Harold said as Will focused on the water bottles in his mother's hands and brought them over to him.

"I see. So, he can move things with his mind?" Mary asked as Harold nodded.

"Seems to be. He focuses on the object and it moves. Will, heads up!" Harold shouted as he threw the baseball at Will's head. Will ducked as a reflex but the ball stopped in front of Will's body. "And his powers also act on reflex."

"What was that?!" Will asked.

"Another test. It seems your powers react not only to what you're thinking but as a reflex as well." Harold said as Will lowered the ball into his hand.

"So, Telekinesis." Will said as the ball shot 15 feet in the air floated there. "That's what I can do."

"Telekinesis?" Mary asked.

"Yup. The ability to move or interact with objects with the power of a person's mind. And seeing as how I'm not physically moving them, then that meteor must have done this to me." Will said he saw one of the lawn chairs and tried to move it. He held his hand out towards the chair and focused but the chair wasn't moving. He focused harder as the lawn chair began to tremble and float an inch above the ground when Will noticed blood coming from his nose and stopped.

"Will." Mary said as she and Harold walked over to check on him.

"You ok?" Harold asked as Mary got a napkin and wiped the blood from his nose.

"Yeah, just a slight sting in my head. I tried moving the chair but it wasn't as easy as everything else. So, I focused a lot harder and it began to move when my nose started to bleed." Will said as he wiped his nose.

"Does it hurt?" Harold asked as Will didn't feel a headache or anything, more like a slight pinch in his head.

"Kind of like a small pinch. Like when I pulled that muscle during spring training in Highschool." Will said as Harold thought for a moment.

"You said Telekinesis is the ability to move things with your mind, right?" Harold asked as Will nodded. "So, your mind needs to be trained with your new power. Your brain is like a muscle and if you overexert a muscle too much it breaks. The nosebleeds are telling you your limit."

"Is that true?" Mary asked.

"We're in uncharted territories here. But it makes the most sense. Will could move the smaller stuff no problem but the larger things that required him to concentrated more led to the nose bleed. We'll be careful." Harold said as took a little break so Will could recover from the nose bleed. They continued with the training using a bunch of other small or medium size items like the baseballs to books and Will's backpack. With the small and medium size stuff, there wasn't any strain on Will's brain when he used his powers and he was getting the hang of his new powers.

He could move and push the items around with ease like he was holding them and he could move multiple items at once. Will trained with his powers until dinner and he had to pack because he was going back to school. He promised to stay in contact with his parents if anything bad happened and Will promised to be careful at school. He said he would practice in his dorm room to make sure he didn't have an accident but he wouldn't use his powers in front of someone.

While he was at school, he fell into his regular routine of going to classes and hanging out with his friends but he felt a lot more pressure because he had to make sure he didn't accidently use his powers to hurt someone. When he finished his work, and was alone in his dorm room, he trained with his powers by moving things around his room. Things like his alarm clock, his chair, notebooks, and textbooks. After 2 weeks of training, he was able to lift his bed off the floor with ease.

He kept up his regular schedule as he finished his junior year and didn't have any accidents or episodes with his powers. He finished his semester on the right track for his double major in mechanical engineering and psychology and got an internship at PSEG for the summer. His powers had grown and he could move, push, pull and levitate objects with ease. When Will returned home with two weeks before his internship started, he showed his parents how his control with his powers got and he was able to lift his dad's police car a an inch off the ground.

Will was eating some cereal in the kitchen watching the news coverage of the Senate Armed Services Committee and their mission to get Tony Stark to hand over the Iron Man Suit. "Will." Will heard as he saw his dad walked in with some paperwork.

"Hey, dad. I thought you had work?" Will asked as Harold put his paperwork on the table and got some coffee.

"Nothing I couldn't take and work from home. So, what's going on?" Harold asked.

"Oh, that Armed Services committee thing about the Iron Man armor." Will said as Harold chuckled.

"Oh, yeah like that's a good idea." Harold said.

"You don't think having the Iron Man armor in the army is a good idea?" Will asked.

"A good idea, sure. Heck, that armor would turn the tide in any fight and save a lot of lives. But like the nuclear bomb, when that thing gets in the wrong hands then a lot of people will get hurt. And we'll have a new war that threatens the planet." Harold said as he got some half-and-half for his coffee.

"So, you'd rather had the Iron Man in Stark's hands?" Will asked as Harold scoffed.

"Stark makes really good tech and weapons but I'm not sure if having anything like that in the world is good. It's like you, Will. Now other people having your powers would be dangerous but I raised you and I know you're a good kid who makes the right decisions. It's a complicated situation." Harold said as Will nodded.

"Well, it seems Stark is milking the Iron Man for his own benefit. His company's stock is at its highest and with the Stark Expo out he's probably got a good thing going on." Will said as Harold sat down next to him.

"You know, if you want to go, I've still got a friend at Hammer who can pull some strings and get us a pass for the day." Harold said as Will shrugged.

"Yeah, that's sounds cool." Will said as Harold nodded and they watched the news and saw Tony walking out of the meeting with his ego on full display while Senator Stern cursed him out.

Will enjoyed the time off until his internship started and he kept himself busying by readying himself for the job and training his powers in his free time. He learned how to stop objects from moving, changing the directional course of objects and that he could crush objects with his mind which was pretty cool. Will was in the living room, practicing with his powers by levitating a bunch of coins and building a small tower with them to refine his control and precision. He was also watching TV so it practiced his mind's ability to multi-task as he wanted to watch the Monaco's grand prix, which his dad got on pay per view.

"You've got to be kidding me." Will said as he watched Tony Stark replace his own driver for the race. "Guy's got a pair on him but a race car is a piece of cake compared to a battle suit."

Will began moving the coins to make a copy of the Eiffel tower as he watched the race when he saw a race track worker step out onto the race track. The camera zoomed in as the man opened his jumpsuit to reveal a glowing chest piece and a mechanical harness. Long wipes of lightning appeared in his hands as the top part of his jumpsuit burned off, revealing an intricate mechanical harness.

"Whoa." Will said as he focused on the TV and the coins he was controlling dropped to the ground.

He saw the whip guy slice an incoming race car in half, sending it flying into the sides of the track. "Holy shit!" Will said as his eyes were glued to the screen. The racetrack officials and police tried to get everyone clear as people exited the stands while the cameras were focused on the man.

Stark's car came racing by as the man sliced the front and sent Stark flying through the air and crashing into the side. The man walked slowly towards Stark as other cars on the race track tried to stop and ended up crashing into each other. The man then sliced the car in half but Stark appeared behind him and hit him with the car door but the man knocked him back. He swiped at Stark a few times as Stark managed to get away but was knocked to the side.

Stark then jumped on the fence as a Rolls Royce bashed the man into the fence. It looked like it was over but the man recovered and began slicing the car when Stark got what looked like a red and white briefcase. He touched it with his foot and it began unfolding. He grabbed the handles of the briefcase and pulled them apart as the briefcase unfolded into armor and Tony Stark now stood in a new version of the Iron Man armor. With one kick, he sent the Rolls Royce skidding out of the way as he faced his assailant.

Iron Man raised his palm to fire a repulsor blast but Whiplash slashed him with his whip. Iron Man tried to fire again but Whiplash hit him again and damaged his left gauntlet. Iron Man fired two repulsor blasts but Whiplash deflected them. Whiplash threw out his whip and it wrapped around Iron Man's neck and then wrapped his other whip around his right gauntlet. He threw Iron Man across the pavement and smashed him to the ground, then against the car and again on the pavement as the electricity from the whip began to destroy the armor.

Iron Man then walked forward and began wrapping the whip around him, getting closer and closer. And when he got close enough, he punched Whiplash in the face, the stomach and then threw him over his shoulder. He finished it by ripping out the glowing chest piece as the electricity from the whips shut off and the police came and took him into custody.

"Hey, Will. How's the race?" He heard his mom ask as she came home.

"Uh…put on hold for the time being. But I think I saw Iron Man fight a super villain." Will said.

Will had his internship starting on Monday leaving him the weekend to enjoy before he went to work. And lucky for him, his dad got passes to attend the STARK Expo on Saturday with access to the panels on that day. Will and his parents were at the Hammer Industries panel in the back of the stadium as other military officials, members of the press and visitors got into their seats. Music began to play as Hammer stepped on stage and began dancing as everyone clapped.

'Geez, does everyone in the weapons business have a huge ego.' Will thought as he clapped along and Hammer made his way to his podium.

"Yeah! That's what I'm talking about. Thanks for coming." Hammer said as he straightened up and got serious.

"Ladies and Gentlemen…for too long, this country has had to put its brave men and women in harm's way. But then the Iron Man arrived and we thought the days of losing lives were behind us. Sadly, that technology was kept out of reach. That's not fair, that's not right and that's just too bad. Regardless, that was one impressive innovation, one that grabbed headlines the world over. But today, my friends, the press is faced with quite a different problem. They are about to run out of ink." Hammer said with a smile as there was a small applause throughout the crowd.

"Ugh, what a dumbass." Will said to himself as Harold chuckled while two stage hands removed the podium so Hammer could move around freely.

"Ladies and Gentlemen…today I present to you, the new face of the United States Military: The Hammer Drone!" Hammer shouted as a marching theme began to play and images of various members of the US's armed forces began to play while parts of the stage began to move to reveal platforms and drones hidden under the stage.

"Army!" Hammer shouted as 8 steel colored Iron-man-like drones appeared with a glowing chest piece and a heavy duty .50 caliber machine gun on their back.

"Navy!" Hammer shouted as 8 blue colored drones appeared with double stacked rocket pods on their shoulders.

"Airforce!" Hammer shouted 8 grey colored drones appeared, more slick and aero-dynamic than the previous two groups.

"Marines!" Hammer shouted as 8 camouflage print drones with heavy machine guns on their arms appeared.

"Yeah! Whoo! That's a hell of a lot better than some cheerleaders, let me tell you. But as revolutionary as this technology is, there will always be a need for man to present in the theater of war. Ladies and Gentlemen, today I am proud to present to you the very first prototype of the Variable Threat Response Battle Suit, and its pilot, air force Lt. Colonel James Rhodes!" Hammer shouted as another rising platform appeared in the center of the stage.

"Rhodey?" Harold asked as Will looked at his dad.

"You know him?" Will asked as Harold nodded.

"Yeah, we went through training together in the Airforce. I saved the son of a bitch a few times in Afghanistan. He owes me a six pack of beer." Harold said as Will chuckled. "He told me he's been a liaison with Stark."

"Guess he's a liaison for Hammer now." Mary said as they watched a black colored Iron-man suit with red eyes and a glowing chest piece. While Iron Man was bright red and gold and was flashy, this one was made for someone in the military as it had two wrist mounted machine guns, a M134 7.62 mini gun on its right shoulder, heavy armor around the body, and storage for ammo.

"Ok, that's officially cooler than Iron Man." Will said as he clapped along with the crowd.

Rhodes then saluted as the other drones did the same as did Hammer. "For America and its allies, Hammer Industries is reporting for…" Hammer was cut off as everyone heard the rumbling of a jet engine getting close. They all turned around and saw something flying fast and closing in and knew what it was. It stopped near the stage and landed in a crouch to reveal Tony Stark in a new Iron Man suit with a triangle chest piece.

The crowd went ballistic as they cheered and applauded as Iron Man walked over to Rhodes. "How about that Will? Iron Man shows up. Isn't this great or what?" Mary asked as she clapped along.

"Yeah, great." Will said as he clapped along. He saw Iron Man walk over to Hammer and they seemed to be talking when Will got this tingling in the back of his head. Will immediately began to feel on edge and worried as he felt that something was wrong. "Something's wrong."

"Will?" Harold asked as they saw the minigun on Rhodes's suit activate and lock onto Iron Man. Then all the other drones raised their guns at Iron Man as Hammer ran and Will grabbed his parents.

"Move!" Will shouted as they ran out of their seats as Iron Man flew away while the drones fired at him, destroying the glass ceiling above them and causing everyone else to run.

Will and his parents made it to the exit when he turned back and saw the War Machine suit and air force drones take off into the air while the army and navy drones began walking off the stage and following the crowd of people. Will and his parents ran from the panel hall and through the Expo to get to their car as the drones marched throughout the expo. People ran in fear for safety as the military drones stalked the crowd like evil robots from a sci-fi movie.

The navy drones fired their rocket pods and the rockets exploded throughout the expo. One got dangerously close to Will and his family but Will quickly got in front of his parents and moved the rocket off course and it hit the side of a building instead. More rockets were fired as they hit the side of buildings, sending concrete and debris on top of people. Harold and Mary helped some people get back on their feet while Will saw another missile heading straight for a group so he stopped it in mid-air and crushed it, turning it into a ball.

"Will, you need to help these people." Harold told him as they saw everyone run away.

"Help them how?" Will asked.

"Use your powers, help Iron Man stop those things. The police can't stop them." Mary said as Will was nervous.

"But, I've never used my powers like this. This is a huge step from lifting my bed." Will said as Harold grabbed Will and so he looked at him.

"You can do it. I saw you do it with the missile and you have control of this. Remember, it's your power, you control it." Harold said as he looked at the fleeing crowd. "These people need you now more than ever. Maybe whatever happened to you was an accident or maybe it was divine intervention, fate, destiny or whatever but I know that it couldn't have happened to a better person. You can do this, Will."

"I'm not leaving you and mom alone." Will said.

"Your father and I will be fine. We'll be helping people get to safety. Your father's right, they need you. Go!" Mary told him as Will had mixed feelings but saw how frightened and scared everyone was and saw the people who were injured or already killed by the drones.

"Ok, but you two stay safe." Will said as he hugged his parents and they hugged him back. He then ran towards the drones which were moving towards the west side of the park.

"Be careful." Mary said as she watched Will run.

"He'll be fine." Harold said as he helped another person get up. "Come on! Get to safety!"

Will ran towards the drones when he ran passed a destroyed gift shop. He looked around and noticed a destroyed security camera and knew that if he used his powers to stop the drones, those cameras still active were gonna record him in action so he grabbed a sweatshirt with a hoodie and put it on. He then ripped a t-shirt in half and wrapped it around his nose and mouth to make a face mask. With his impromptu disguise ready, he saw a navy drone about to corner a group of people so he ran at it.

The drone raised its arms and prepared to fire when it was pulled backward and sent tumbling against the ground. The people looked and saw a masked and hooded man with glowing hands run up next to them.

"Go!" Will said. The people ran way as the Navy drone got back up and set its targeting reticle on Will. Will got the tingling sensation in the back of his head again so he turned and saw the navy drone aim its arm machine gun and fire a torrent of bullets.

"RAH!" Will shouted as he held his hands out and the bullets stopped mid-air about 2 feet in front of him like someone hit pause. "Take this you terminator rip off!"

Will then thrust his hands forward and the bullets flew back at the Navy Drone and peppered it with holes. The drone wobbled for a bit before it fell over, oil dripping from the bullet holes and sparks flying from the destroyed circuits. Will walked over and saw the glowing power core had shut down so it was dead.

Will looked to his right and saw missiles heading towards a group of people so he ran forward and to his surprise, he was actually moving faster than he normally was. He would have been enjoying that new-found power but he had to stop those missiles. Will got in front of the crowd and raised his hands, as the missiles flew towards him and smashed into a telekinetic shield, saving them. Will grunted, trying to stay focused as he felt the burden his shield was taking from the impacts.

The crowd ran as Will covered their escape and kept them from harm. He then reached out his hands and part of the ground cracked open. Will grunted and concentrated as chunks of concrete ripped out of the ground and floated in the air next to him. Will then threw his arms forward and the concrete flew through the air and smashed into a hammer Navy drone, smashing it to pieces. Will ran over and saw that one arm was severed and the chest was heavily damaged, but it was still functional as it tried to stand up, so Will kept it from moving.

The sound of bending metal could be heard as the drone attempted to move but found itself incapable. Will then shouted as he made a ripping motion with his two hands and the drone was torn in half. Will turned as he saw more Navy drones heading towards him, but they stopped. They dropped their arms and turned around as Will was confused. He watched the drones fly away using their rocket thrusters and were going to the west side of the park. Will looked and saw all the other active drones were doing the same thing and going in the same direction.

"Now where are they going?" Will asked himself, curious as to what the hell was going on so he followed them. Will ran through the park, going in the same direction as the drones were flying but he was on the ground. He was running for about 5 minutes through the park which was pretty much empty as everyone had made it to an exit by now. Will ran past some destroyed rubble and stopped to take a breather.

"Dammit. Where the hell did they go?" Will asked when he heard the sound of gun fire coming from the encased ecological bio-dome. He ran through the park and over to the bio-dome when he heard the sound of a jet and looked up to see another drone fly into the bio-dome. Will's curiosity got the better of him and wanted to see what was happening so he entered through the front entrance. He stayed hidden in the trees and saw the wreckage of a battle between the Hammer drones and only Iron Man and the military upgraded black Iron Man suit were standing.

He now saw a new Hammer drone but this one was larger and seemed more armored and advance. Will looked and saw Whiplash, the man who attacked Iron Man at the Monaco race track in the suit.

"Good to be back." Whiplash said.

"Oh, this ain't gonna be good." War Machine said to Iron Man as Whiplash unleashed his two plasma whips which were twice as strong as the ones he used before. "I've got something special for this guy. I'm gonna bust his bunker with the ex-wife."

"With the what?" Iron Man asked as War Machine's shoulder came apart to reveal and small rocket launcher. It was primed before flying out of the launcher and hitting Whiplash but did nothing. It bounced against his armor and landed on the ground and fizzled out, completely useless. "Hammer tech?"

"Yeah." War Machine replied as Whiplash smiled.

"I've got this." Iron Man said as his shoulder mounter rockets fired but Whiplash's armor closed up and protected him.

Whiplash flipped his whips and swiped down as War Machine and Iron Man dove to the side. War Machine fired his three machine guns which just bounced off of Whiplash's armor as Whiplash swung up and destroyed War Machine's minigun. He then swung at Iron Man who flew in the air and spun, firing his repulsor blasts but he missed. Whiplash snagged Iron Man around the waist and threw him against a rock. Before he could attack him, War Machine fired his two remaining guns to get his attention as Iron Man flew forward in a charge but Whiplash knocked him away and sent him tumbling through the trees.

Whiplash then lashed out and grabbed War Machine. His whips reeled War Machine in so Whiplash punched him and sent him flying back. Iron Man yelled as he jumped back into the fight and began swinging at Whiplash's head. It seemed to be working but Whiplash headbutted Iron Man back and lashed his whip around his neck. War Machine fired his gun but Whiplash just stepped on him, the metal making cracks in the armor. Whiplash retracted the helmet and smiled, thinking he had the upper hand.

Iron Man grabbed the whip and tried to pull when all of a sudden, Whiplash was thrown backwards as his whip disconnected from Iron Man. Iron Man and War Machine were confused as one second Whiplash had them on the edge and then he was thrown backwards like he was hit by a truck.

Iron Man looked and to his shock, there was a guy with a hoodie and face mask standing there with them in the dome. But the most shocking thing was that his hands were glowing blue. Whiplash got up and looked to see who attacked him, thinking it was another Iron Man armor but it was just a man.

"Kid, get out of here!" Iron Man shouted as he saw Whiplash spin a whip and threw it at the kid. "NO!"

"RAH!" Will shouted as he held his hands out and stopped the whip from hitting him to Iron Man, War Machine, and Whiplash's surprise. Whiplash threw out his other whip and it hit the ground near Will and the debris hit him in the face. Will backed up, rubbing his eyes to get the dirt and grass out. The tingling sensation came back as Will rolled away just in time to avoid being cut in half.

Iron Man fired his two repulsors and hit Whiplash in the back, knocking him forward as War Machine kept firing his guns. Will got up and wiped the dirt away to see Whiplash hit Iron Man away with a whip and kick War Machine into a tree. Will held his hands out and ripped out two chunks of the ground. He threw his hands forward and hit Whiplash, knocking him back and saving War Machine from getting hit. Whiplash stood up and threw out both his whips as Will threw his hands out and the whips stopped. Whiplash tried to move his body but the computer system said there was an error as the armor wasn't moving and responding to his movements.

Will grunted as he kept Whiplash from moving but could feel his pull getting weaker. Will concentrated harder than he had before as his nose began bleeding. Will shouted as he threw his arms out and Whiplash's armor was ripped down the middle with half of it being throw to the side while the other half stayed on the man. Will dropped to his knees to catch his breath and recover from the stinging headache as Iron Man and War Machine were amazed at what they saw. This kid just managed to tear off Whiplash's armor with some kind of invisible force.

"You lose…" Whiplash managed to say as his chest piece began blinking red and beeping rapidly.

"All these drones are rigged to blow! We've got to get out of here, man!" War Machine shouted.

"Pepper!" Iron Man said as he flew away while War Machine grabbed Will and flew into the air.

"AHH! Let me go! Let me go!" Will shouted as he struggled to get out of War Machine's grip as he saw his feet leave the ground and dangle at least 400 feet in the air.

"Kid, stop moving! I'm saving your life!" War Machine shouted.

"No, please! I hate flying! Rhodey let me go!" Will shouted.

"How do you know my name?!" War Machine asked as Will managed to get loose and fell out of War Machine's arms and began plummeting to the ground. "Oh, shit!"

"AAAAHHHH!" Will shouted as he began falling to the ground while War Machine flew down to try and catch him. Will flailed around as he fell through the air and saw the ground getting closer and closer. He held his hands out as he subconsciously began to tap into his powers and his descent began to slow down. Will threw his hands out and when he was about 15 feet from the ground, he sent out a huge telekinetic push to the ground, creating a small crater about 10 feet wide. The push acted as a parachute as Will's fall was slowed tremendously and he even seemed to be floating before he dropped 8 feet and hit the pavement.

"Uh…that's gonna hurt in the morning." Will groaned as he managed to pull his face out of the dirt. He spit the dirt out of his mouth as he looked up and saw one of the wrecked drones in front of him and by the sound of the beeping from the core, it was going to blow. "Oh, shit!"

Will ran away as fast as his legs could take him when the drone exploded as Will dove to the ground and covered his head. Will heard other explosions in the distance, meaning the other drones must have exploded as well. Will looked up and saw the burning remains of the drone with the potent smell of oil filling his nose. Will gagged a bit before running to find his parents. He ran through the park, tossing his face mask and hoodie into the fire as he ran to the nearest exit or police escort where he blended in with the horde of people trying to leave. He managed to find his parents and Will left the Expo thinking that no one was the wiser as to who he was and what he did…only if that were the truth.

Tony had just saved Pepper and she was spiller her heart out as to Tony's erratic behavior and essentially quit as CEO. But the two had a moment and one thing led to another and the two locked lips.

"Weird?" Tony asked about the kiss.

"No, it's not weird." Pepper replied.

"It's not weird, right? Ok. Run that by me again." Tony said as they kissed.

"I think it was weird." They heard as they stopped kissing and saw Rhodey in his suit, sitting on an air vent like he had been there for a while. "You guys, look like two seals fighting over a grape."

"I had just quit so we were not—" "You don't have to do that. I heard everything." Rhodey stopped them.

"You should get lost." Tony said.

"I was here first. Get a roof." Rhodey replied as Tony chuckled.

"You kicked ass back there by the way." Tony said as Rhodey nodded.

"Thank you, so did you." Rhodey replied.

"So, where's that kid you grabbed?" Tony asked.

"Kid?" Pepper questioned.

"A long story." Tony told her.

"I…sort of dropped him." Rhodey said as they looked at him. "He's still alive. He somehow stopped himself before he hit the ground. I lost him once all the drones exploded. Speaking of which, my car got taken out in the explosion, so I'm going to have to hang onto your suit for a minute, ok?"

"Not ok with that." Tony replied as Rhodey stood up.

"Wasn't a question." Rhodey told him as the face mask came down and Rhodey flew away.

The next day, Tony was escorted to a SHIELD secured warehouse for a debrief with Director Fury. Several agents were outside the warehouse for security and even more around the block to keep any potential enemies or attacks against the director from happening. Inside the warehouse, more agents were there for security while there were various monitors and computers that showed news coverage of the fallout from the STARK Expo, something from an attack at a college that involved the military and something in New Mexico.

Tony was sitting at a table, waiting for Fury to arrive so he decided to look at one of the files in front of him that read Avengers Initiative: Preliminary Report. Tony looked at the file when Fury pushed it down.

"I don't think I want you looking at that. I'm not sure it pertains to you anymore." Fury said as he sat down across from Tony. "Now, this on the other hand is Agent Romanoff's assessment of you."

Tony took the file and read it. "Uh…personality overview, Mr. Stark portrays compulsive behavior." Tony said as he looked at Fury. "In my own defense that was last week."

"Uh…prone to self-destructive tendencies. I was dying, I mean please. And aren't we all?" Tony shrugged.

"Textbook narcissism." Tony said as he looked at Fury. "Agreed. Ok, here it is. Recruitment assessment for Avenger initiative, Iron Man yes. I'll have to think about it."

"Read on." Fury told him.

"Tony Stark not…not recommended. That doesn't make any sense. How can you approve me but not approve me? I've got a new ticker, I'm trying to do right by Pepper, I'm in a stablish-ish relationship." Tony said.

"Which leads us to believe that at this juncture, we'd only like to use you as a consultant." Fury said as Tony looked at him. "Provided you give us everything you can on the individual who helped you stop Vanko."

"Individual?" Tony asked as Fury looked at one of the screens that showed the camera footage from one of the hammer drones that Vanko took over and it showed a masked figure with glowing hands and eyes rip apart the other drones and tear up chunks of the ground without touching them. "Oh, him. Guy was brave, I'll give him that."

"He's someone we have no information about. And that never happens. We need to know what you know." Fury said as Tony thought about it for a second and then stood up and shook Fury's hand.

"I got nothing. And you can't afford me." Tony said as he walked away but then stopped and turned around. "But I'm willing to waver my customary retainer in exchange for…a small favor. Rhodey and I are being honored in Washington tomorrow and we need a presenter." Tony said.

"I'll see what I can do." Fury said with a nod.

"Good luck on the manhunt though." Tony said as he left and walked to his car. He pulled out a small earbud and put it in his ear as he got in the driver's seat and turned the car on. "Jarvis."

"Yes, sir?" Jarvis replied.

"Bring up all the security footage recovered from the black box at the expo. Let's find our mysterious savior before SHIELD tags and probes him." Tony said as he drove away.

"Right away, sir." Jarvis said as Tony drove to catch his plane to DC.

Will was starting his internship at PSEG and he was happy to put the business at the STARK Expo behind him. Not that there wasn't a little adrenaline rush with fighting large robots and single handedly saving Iron Man and the other Iron Guy from Whiplash, but it was nice to go back to normal. And judging by how he wasn't taken into police or federal custody, then he was counting himself lucky no one knew who he was. Although, there was now some amateur footage floating around the internet from the fight at the expo. Most of it was about Iron Man but there were a few small snip-its of him in action. Luckily, the video quality was so low that all you could tell that it was someone about 6ft with glowing hands, nothing else. That made him feel a bit easier, but he'd keep a lower profile for now. Besides, it's not like he was a trouble magnet.

Unknown to him, there was a serious battle/attack/invasion in New Mexico between the police/government agents, weird people with swords and a giant grey metal suit. It was the first physical altercation that SHIELD had with beings that were not of this earth. It turns out that the legends of Asgard were true as Thor, the god of thunder defended earth from an attack. The fight was brief, and no clear answers were given about why this battle even had to take place, but one thing was clear, there were other people out there and they were dangerous. So, Director Fury knew that this attack could be the first of many, so SHIELD and the world needed to be ready.

Fury was at the Triskelion, primary headquarters of SHIELD in his private audience having a meeting with the World Security Council about the recent attacks at the STARK Expo, the incident in New Mexico and the attack by the Hulk at Culver University. These kinds of attacks have been escalating and it was only a matter of time before another one happened and who knows the destruction and death it could bring. Fury was in his office, secured, encrypted and by himself for his meeting.

He walked up wall monitor and pressed his hand against a palm reader and his eye against a retinal scanner. They scanned it for a second and lit up green. "Call World Security Council." Fury said.

"Calling." The computer said as his screen was split into 6 sections for the six members of the world security council.

"Directory Fury." They all said as Fury nodded.

"Councilors. I'm sure you're aware of the recent uptick in unusual and dangerous incidents that have been occurring." Fury said.

"That's an understatement, Director. Armored machines attacking in New York, The Hulk squaring off with the military at Culver University and now this attack in New Mexico. What SHIELD has always feared seems to be happening." Councilor 1 said.

"These events are escalating. Dealing with Iron Man or the Hulk have been easy, but this newest attack has us worried. These being, Asgardians…should they be considered a threat?" Councilor 2 asked.

"I'm afraid I can't make that conclusive statement, Councilor. It's safe to say that Asgard has its fair share of good and bad people like Earth." Director Fury said.

"That doesn't reassure us, Director. These aren't a few random terrorists who happened upon a cache of weapons, these are beings from another world with abilities and technology that is beyond anything we have now. What's the status of the destroyer robot that attacked the town?" Councilor 3 asked.

"It's being analyzed and secured as we speak. I also have a few of my scientists trying to reverse-engineer the robot's weapons system. Highest level clearance and security to make sure that nothing is leaked." Director Fury said.

"Good. We'll need an edge should something like this happen again and based on the pattern we've experienced that would seem to be the case. We'll be giving SHIELD additional funding to prepare for future extra-terrestrial or global threats. We want you to begin testing and analysis on the Tesseract as well. The cube could give us the edge against future threats." Councilor 4 said as Director Fury nodded.

"I believe I have someone who can help us proceed with the Tesseract project." Fury said.

"Good, and we want further progress on the Avengers Initiative. Aside from Mr. Stark, who else is SHIELD looking into for the project?" Councilor 5 asked.

"Agents Romanoff and Barton are ideal candidates for the project as well as Mr. Stark's associate, Colonel Rhodes. From the report Agent Coulson gave me, Thor can be considered an ally so if contact with Asgard is made, Thor is another option." Fury told them.

"And the mysterious individual who aided Mr. Stark during the Expo?" Councilor 1 asked.

"Still unknown at the moment, councilor but we'll have an assessment soon." Director Fury said.

"Soon may not be soon enough. War is on the horizon, director. And the world needs SHIELD to be ready." Councilor 2 said as Fury nodded and the video conference ended.

Fury then walked into his office and pressed a button on his intercom and Agent Hill walked in. "Sir?" Hill asked.

"Get me Coulson, Barton, and Romanoff. I want a full assessment and file on the individual from the expo in 48 hours." Fury said.

"Yes, sir." Hill said as she left.

Will was well into his first week at his internship and he was really enjoying himself. He liked his work and he was getting awesome field experience for mechanical engineering degree. To his surprise, he got a complete grasp and understanding of all the systems at PSEG in only two days and considering the size and complexity of the entire facility it was something he was curious about. He tested it by getting a physics book from the library one day on the way home from work. He read it cover to cover in the span of about a few hours and had a complete understanding of everything in the book.

It's like his brain was working in overdrive and he could understand a lot more than he could before. It's not to say that he was an idiot before the meteor changed him, he was a smart guy but now he was like a genius. He told his parents about this little new ability and they weren't sure what it meant since this was all new to them. His mother mentioned that since Will's was practicing his telekinesis, his brain was getting stronger. So, it could be a side effect of his telekinesis that his brain is working faster than before, effectively making him smarter. If that was the case, Will wasn't going to kiss a gift horse on the mouth.

Will was eating a pork roll sandwich in the break room as the TV played the local news. He took a sip of water as he saw the news report something about the clean up from the STARK Expo. Something about STARK Industries in talks with the companies and think tanks from the EXPO to make up for the damage or now the lack of exposure because of what happened. The news then changed to the fallout of what was being called the Battle of Harlem where the Hulk and some other creature fought in the middle of borough with the Hulk being victorious. The Hulk vanished after the fight while the other creature was taken into federal custody.

Will looked at recordings of fight and it was intense, way more than what happened at the EXPO. He wondered if he had been there that maybe he could have done something but there's nothing he can do about it now. Will finished his lunch and was going back to work, exiting the break room when he nearly ran into someone.

"Oh, sorry." Will said as he saw who he nearly knocked over. She was short, at about 5ft3 and had dark red hair, dressed in business attire.

"It's ok, it's my fault. I'm new here. I've been trying to figure my way around here." She said as Will nodded.

"Don't worry, happened to me as well but you'll get use to it." Will replied.

"I'm Natalie Rushman, Engineer Donnelly's new assistant." Natalie said as she held her hand out and Will shook it.

"Oh, I'm Will Detmer, intern. Nice to meet you." Will said as he checked his watch and saw he needed to get back to work. "Sorry to cut and run but I've got to get back to work. I'll see you around."

Will smiled and waved goodbye as he went back to his workstation while Natalie smiled and waved back. When he was out of view, she checked to make sure no one was watching her and pulled out her phone to dial a secret number.

"Romanoff here. I've made contact with the target." Romanoff said.

"Maintain your cover and report what you can on the target. Try and get close to him and don't blow your cover." Coulson told her.

"Roger that." Romanoff said as she hung up.

Will finished his day and went to catch the bus to get back home. He walked to his house from the bus stop and saw a black Rolls Royce parked by the street. "Whoa, nice car." Will said as he unlocked his front door and walked in.

"Will?" He heard his mom call out.

"I'm home." Will said as he took off his shoes.

"Can you come to the living room, Will? There's someone here to see you." He heard his dad shout.

"Sure. Did you guys see the Rolls Royce on the street?" Will asked as he walked into the living room and saw his parents sitting on the couch, drinking coffee but that wasn't what shocked him. He saw that his parents had three guests. One was a tall, hefty guy in a suit, the other was an African American man, about his dad's age wearing a sports jacket and pants and the last guest was Tony Stark himself.

"You like the car kid?" Tony asked.

"Will's got good taste when it comes to cars." Harold said.

"Something he got from his dad." Rhodey joked as Harold chuckled.

"Holy crap." Will said as they chuckled. "What's Tony Stark doing here?"

"I'm here to see you, kid." Tony said as Will was confused.

"See me about what?" Will asked, trying to play dumb.

"They know, Will." Mary said as Will looked at him.

"You saved us from Vanko and we saw you saved a lot of other people at the Expo. Nicely done, Will." Rhodey said.

"How did you know it was me?" Will asked as Tony took out his phone and showed Will a security camera recording from the Expo. It showed an empty but destroyed section of the park and in the reflection of one of the buildings, you could see Will putting on the hoodie and face mask he wore. "Oh."

"Yeah. Don't worry, I deleted the footage once I saw who you were. I figured if you put the mask and hoodie on you didn't want people to know who you were." Tony said as Will nodded.

"Thanks. So, why did you track me down?" Will asked.

"Wanted to meet my mystery savior in person. Don't think I've ever seen someone rip apart a million-dollar battle suit without touching it." Tony said as he looked at Will. "So, how do you do it?"

Will looked and saw an empty cup, so he raised his hand slightly as it glowed blue. The coffee pot then floated up and poured into the empty cup before it floated back to the ground. "I'm unique." Will said as the cup then floated in the air and over to Will who took it and took a sip.

"Wow. You've got one heck of kid here." Tony said as Will chuckled.

"Yeah, Will's one of a kind." Harold said.

"How did this happen?" Rhodey asked.

"I'm not exactly sure. I had a little too much to drink the same night a meteor nearly killed me." Will said.

"A meteor?" Rhodey asked.

"Yeah, some kind of glowing blue meteor. I touched it, had one hell of headache and the next thing I know I have telekinesis." Will said as they were shocked.

"Wow, that's one hell of a story. And you've kept to yourself about this." Tony said.

"Yeah. I've watched enough movies to know that if the government finds out about me, they'd tag me like a wild animal and probe me." Will said as Tony chuckled.

"That's actually why we're here, Will. Aside from thanking you for your help." Rhodey said.

"SHIELD knows about what you did at the Expo and is going to be looking for you now." Tony said.

"What's SHIELD?" Will asked.

"Strategic Homeland something or other. They're a government agency that came to me when I came out as Iron Man. Something about keeping people and the world safe from threats and stuff like that. But if they know about you, they're going to be watching you so keep your skills a secret for now." Tony said as he stood up and handed Will a card. "My number. Something happens, give me a call."

"Thanks, Mr. Stark. But why are you doing this?" Will asked.

"You saved my ass. It's the least I can do. And you saved Rhodey like your old man did back in the day, so this is me doing the same." Tony said as Will nodded.

"Thank you." Will said as Tony nodded and pat him on the arm.

"Give me call when you graduate. I'm starting a new research place in New York, and could do with someone will talent and skills. You've got a future ahead of you kid." Tony said as he and his bodyguard left.

"Thanks for the coffee, Harold. Stay in touch." Rhodey said as he and Harold shook hands.

"You too. Stay safe." Harold said as Rhodey nodded.

"Thanks again, Will. Your parent's spoke highly of you. You've got a bright future ahead of you." Rhodey said as he shook Will's hand and left.

"Holy crap." Will said as his parents nodded.

"Yeah." Harold replied.

"You ok, Will?" Mary asked.

"I'm fine. I was hoping that this wouldn't happen, but beggars can't be choosers. So, what do we do?" Will asked.

"Well, we do what Tony said. Keep a low profile. To the rest of the world, you're just Will Detmer. No one knows what you can do so they have no reason to look into you. We just play it cool and act like everything is normal." Harold said.

Down the block of Will's home, a white van was parked on the side of the road with two men looking down the street with binoculars. "Looks like Stark found our person of interest before we did." Coulson said.

"You really think this kid is an 0-8-4 like the Director thinks?" Barton asked.

"I don't know. No one on the index has his kind of abilities and there's no evidence as to what caused them. Fury wants a full analysis on William Detmer for the index and possibly for the Avenger's initiative." Coulson said.

"You think he'd be a good fit?" Barton asked.

"He saved Mr. Stark and Colonel Rhodes at the Expo along with dozens of other people. I'd say he's already qualified. The only issue is making sure he doesn't go insane like Blonsky." Coulson said as he looked at the full file they had on William Detmer. Medical history, academic grades, no criminal record, and all around good kid. They also got his blood and DNA from the hospital and actually found a paternal DNA match to Detmer from within SHIELD.

"And as for the kid's biological father? Think we should let him know?" Barton asked.

"No. That's a thread we don't want to pull on yet, even if we should at all." Coulson said.

A month had passed since Tony Stark came to Will and his parents and like they agreed, they kept a low profile. Will hadn't used his powers since, even in private just to be safe and went about things like normal. He went to his internship during the week, ate dinner with his parents, hung out with his friends on the weekend and went to the gym every other day. Overall, Will couldn't tell that anything was different or that he was being followed.

Will finished his work and was heading home from his internship after a solid week of work to enjoy the weekend. Natalie Rushman looked at Will as he left the building and was heading home. She has been closely watching him for the past month and from what she's seen and their talks and encounters, he was a normal upcoming college senior. He was smart, courteous and had a good heart from what she saw, and she didn't notice any ill traits or characteristics that would suggest he was psychologically compromised or unstable, but SHIELD would need more than that. She sent a message to Coulson and Barton her daily assessment, but Fury had contacted them that someone with Will's powers, a unique approach might be the key to getting him to help.

Will took the bus home as usual, took a shower and change his clothes to go meet his friends. They were going to head to one of the clubs at Bally's hotel and casino. Will took a bus to the city and joined his friends at the club. They went in and were greeted by the sound of loud music and bright lights. They walked to the bar and got a round of drinks and began enjoying themselves.

Will got another beer as he chatted with some girls at the bar when he saw Natalie walk in. She saw him and waved as he waved back. Will's friend, Riley Brody saw who he was waving at. "Whoa, who's the red head?" Riley asked.

"Natalie Rushman. She works at PSEG." Will told her as he nodded. Will then saw his other friend, Keith Ramsay talking to some girls when some guys got in his face. "Oh shit, Keith's in trouble."

"Must have hit on the wrong guy's girl." Riley joked as they walked over when Keith decked the guy who got in his face and knocked him out. Riley and Will immediately grabbed Keith and left the club when the guy's friends attacked them. Keith punched the guy who came up to him as Will ducked to avoid a punch and punched the guy the gut and socked him across the face, knocking him out.

"Yeah!" Keith shouted as they saw security coming so they bailed.

The fight in the club soured their night there so they decided to head to another one. The night went on as Will and his friends enjoyed themselves. They drank and danced as the night went on and Will was having fun and he forgot about his powers and everything. He went to the bar to get another drink as some girls were flirting with him. One of the girls touched his arm and Will got a slight sting in his head and heard something.

"Whoa, this guy's arms are big. He must work out a lot." He heard.

"Did you say something?" He asked as she smiled at him when his head began to hear more voices.

"Damn. That girl is bleeding me dry with her drinks." "Wow, what a cheapskate. He won't be getting any tonight." "Whoa, that red head is hot as hell." "Where the hell did Keith get to?" "Is someone delivering a baby or what? What's with the fucking long line at the bathroom?" "What the hell happened to my wallet?" Will kept hearing voices but from the loud music and other people shouting, there was no way he heard people talking from across the bar or a few feet away.

"Are you ok?" He heard the girl asked as he nodded.

"Yeah…I—I just need to use the bathroom." Will said as he made his way through the crowd of people to the bathroom. He went to the sink and washed his face, letting the water cool him down and relaxing him. He washed his face again and dried it with some paper towels as he looked himself in the mirror. He seemed fine as he checked his eyes and they seemed normal.

"What the hell is going on?" Will asked himself as closed his eyes and slowed his breathing to calm down. He saw some other guys come into the bathroom and they went to the stall.

"Hey, dude, did you see that hot ass red head by the bar?" The guy asked.

"Oh, yeah. Man was she hot. Think she's got a date?" His friend asked.

"If she does, he nothing to me." The guy said.

"Yeah, right dude." Will heard his friend thought.

"I got to get out of here." Will said as he left the bathroom and made his way out of the club. He pushed his way past a horde of club goers and could hear more thoughts and voices in his head. Will calmed his mind and the voices and thoughts got less and less as he finally made his way out of the club and into the lobby of the hotel.

Will slowed his breathing and calmed down, as the voices in his head stopped. He regulated his breathing and noticed people looking at him funny. Will looked at one of the hotel bellhops who walked up to him.

"Sir, are you, all right?" He asked.

"Yeah. Just had to get out of there." Will said as the bellhop nodded.

"Would you like me to get you a cab?" The bellhop asked.

"Yeah, that'd be great." Will said as the bellhop nodded. Will watched the bellhop go to the entrance but heard a voice in his head.

"Damn drunk kids." He heard as Will shook his head and calmed down and the voice stopped.

"Telepathy, just what I needed." Will said sarcastically as he walked to the entrance and saw the taxi the bellhop got.

"Your taxi, sir." The bellhop said as Will nodded and pulled out 40 bucks.

"As a sorry for the drunk kids you deal with." Will said as the bellhop happily took the tip and Will got in the taxi and it took him home and as soon as Will got home he dropped dead on his bed like a sack of potatoes.

Will woke up the next morning with a hangover and felt like crap. He took a shower and walked into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee. He sat down at the kitchen table and took a sip of coffee and felt his hangover get slightly better. He closed his eyes and let the aroma of fresh brewed coffee fill his nose and clear his head of the cloud from his hangover. Will heard footsteps and saw his dad walk in.

"Oh, fun night, Will?" Harold asked.

"Sort of." Will said as he took another sip of coffee as his dad handed him two Advil. "Thanks. Where's mom?"

"She had an early morning at the hospital and I've got to head to station. Think you can take care of breakfast by yourself?" Harold asked.

"Yeah, shouldn't be a problem." Will said as his dad put his coffee into a thermos.

"How about we head out to Maria's Luncheonette tomorrow for breakfast? Like old times?" Harold asked as Will nodded.

"Sounds good." Will replied as his dad left for work. Will finished his cup of coffee and got to work on his breakfast. He decided to go with eggs, bacon and toast. He ate a nice breakfast and his hangover was feeling a lot better than when he woke up. He did the dishes and decided to take a walk to clear his head. The sun was shining bright and it wasn't humid, so it was warm but bearable. He kept walking and eventually made his way to the boardwalk where there was a horde of tourists and people on vacation. Will made his way down the boardwalk and sat down on a bench to relax.

He looked around and saw the horde of people and he was surprised that he wasn't getting a horde of thoughts enter his head like last night. He looked around and decided to see is he could activate his telepathy but in a more controlled setting. He looked at the technician at one of the carnival games and closed his eyes and concentrated.

"That's it. Keep trying kid. There's no way you're winning." Will heard as he opened his eyes.

Will then saw a tornado pie shop was over crowded and the chefs couldn't keep up, so he decided to see what the owner was thinking. "Damn, why did Harry have to call in sick today of all days." Will heard in his head.

Will then saw one sketching looking guy walk by and going towards a family. "That's a nice purse. Perfect." Will heard as the guy then grabbed the purse and ran.

"Hey, he took my purse!" the woman shouted as Will saw the guy push people out of his way. Will raised his leg up and the guy tripped and hit the deck like a ton of bricks as the nearby police officer ran over and cuffed the guy.

Will picked up the woman's purse as the woman ran over. "Here you go, ma'am." Will said as the woman was rejoiced.

"Thank you so much. God bless you." She said as she rejoined her family while the officers took the thief away.

"Nicely done, kid." The officer said as he took the thief away.

Will smiled as he stood up and decided to get something to eat. He walked over to get a slice of pizza. He got his slice and sat down, enjoying his pizza and relaxing as he people watched. He finished his slice and downed his soda when out of the corner of his eye he could have sworn he saw Natalie. He looked and tried to find her but didn't see anything, but he did see two guys dressed in business suits, which was weird in the summer at the boardwalk.

Will threw out his garbage and walked away, on his way to catch a bus to get home. He waited at the bus stop when he began getting the tingling sensation in the back of his head like at the Expo. He looked around and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, so he decided to run a little experiment and see if his telepathy could pick up something. He closed his eyes and stretched out his telepathy and began getting the thoughts of everyone with a ten-foot radius and they consisted of either a comment on people in swimsuits, thoughts on the weather, confused as to where to go now and other things that are better left unsaid.

The bus then came as Will got on and the tingling sensation didn't come back so he disregarded the tingling sensation as him being on edge. Will got back home and watched some TV, resting and relaxing. It was around dinner when his parents came home with pizza. "Hey, Will. How was your day?" Harold asked.

"Eventual. I think I learned a new power." Will said as they looked at him.

"What? Can you fly now?" Mary asked as Will chuckled.

"No. It's telepathy. It actually happened last night, when I heard voices in my head. At first, I thought they were mine but then I tried again today, and I think I got it down." Will said as they looked at each other.

"Ok, what am I thinking right now?" Harold asked as Will looked at him.

"One of your detectives passed the sergeants exam and you're excited to tell him." Will said as Harold was shocked that it was exactly what he was thinking.

"Ok, what about me?" Mary asked as Will looked at her.

"You're thinking I'm crazy and this is all in my head and that you wished I never came into contact with that meteor." Will said as Mary was shocked at what he said. "Believe me, so do I."

"Well, you seem to have a handle on it. Are you constantly hearing other people's thoughts or what?" Harold asked.

"No, it's not automatic. Last night, I think all the alcohol I had was messing with my brain, so it hit me all at once. I did it today and I have to concentrate on the person to hear their thoughts. This could prove to be fun." Will said with a smile as his parents were concerned.

"Easy, Will. You're opening Pandora's box with mind reading. It's not something you should take lightly or use whenever you want." Harold told him.

"Yes, dad." Will replied.

"Ok, let's forget about superpowers and everything and enjoy a normal dinner." Mary said as they enjoyed a nice dinner, completely unaware as to what would happen tomorrow.

Will and his parents woke up early on Sunday to get breakfast at Maria's, one of the best places to get breakfast in the city. Will and his parents used to go all the time when Will was growing up and in Highschool but when Will started college, they didn't go as often so this was a nice treat. The place was small, but it was an amazing place for breakfast. Will and his parents walked in to see the place was only partially occupied which was weird since even early in the morning, Maria's would be packed.

"Huh, place isn't that packed. How lucky is that, Will?" Mary asked as they sat down at the counter as a waitress came by.

"Morning, all." She said as Will saw her nametag said Linda.

"Morning. Where's Wendy? She not working today?" Harold asked.

"Oh, she came down with a bug. I'm Linda, I'll be taking care of you guys. Would you like some coffee?" Linda asked.

"Yeah, that'd be great." Mary said as they sat down as Will grabbed his coffee cup when he heard the click of heels. He looked and saw Linda walk over to get a fresh coffee pot and she was wearing black high-heels. Will raised an eyebrow as he looked around and saw a guy by one of the tables wearing a business suit, reading the Financial Times.

Linda came by and poured Harold and Mary their coffee. When she got to Will, he noticed she was shaking. "You ok?" Will asked.

"I'm fine." She said as she glanced to Will's left. Will looked and saw a guy dressed like a trucker, wearing a plaid shirt, vest, and dirty hat.

Will looked at Linda as she put the coffee pot down. Will grabbed his cup of coffee to take a sip and saw 911 was written in pen on his napkin.

"You got a problem, boy?" Will heard as he turned to see the trucker guy looking at him. "I said, you got a problem, boy?"

"No. No problem." Will said as he didn't need to read his mind to see where this was going.

"All right, nobody move!" The guy shouted as he pulled out a military-issued Sig Sauer P320 pistol and waved it around as the guy in the business suit stood up and pulled out a shotgun.

"Nobody move! On the ground!" he shouted as everyone shouted in fear. Will turned to his dad, who slowly reached for his service gun when Will shook his head no. Harold looked at his son like he was crazy as the guy with the shotgun shouted for everyone to get down and for the waitress to empty the register.

The trucker got in Will's face and pointed the gun at him, threatening him. "Keep still or I'll make damn sure you stop breathing." He said as he looked to his partner. "Empty that register!"

Wil then grabbed and twisted the guy's pistol hand, grabbed him by the jacket and slammed him onto the table, with his face smashing into the coffee pot. The guy dropped the gun and shouted in pain as Will stood up.

"Will, what are you doing?!" His mother shouted as the guy with the shotgun threatened him.

"Get back! I said get back!" He shouted but Will grabbed the shotgun and then punched him in the face, sending him to the ground. Will put the shotgun on the table when he heard clapping. He turned and at another table, another guy in a business suit was clapping.

"Well done, Mr. Detmer. I'm impressed." He said as Will looked at him.

"Who the hell are you?" Will asked as the man stood up.

"My name is Phil Coulson, I'm with the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division." Coulson said.

"SHIELD, I know. I thought something seemed off when we walked in." Will said as his parents were confused.

"What do you mean? This place is Maria's Luncheonette, a regular diner." Coulson said as Will looked around and chuckled.

"Yeah, it is. But even on a slow day, Maria's would never be this empty. I've come here my entire life and in 18 years, this place has always been full. Once I saw that, I began to see that there were other things that weren't normal, like the stock broker with the shot gun." Will said, pointing to the guy bleeding on the floor. "Here he was, all dressed up reading the Financial Times on a Sunday morning when the market's closed."

"Unlikely, but possible so ok. Then there was the angry trucker carrying a military issued Sig Sauer pistol. Growing up with a dad in the military and then police, you notice these things. But where you blew it was with your waitress, Linda." Will said, pointing to her. "My friend's mom has been in the diner business her entire life. There's no way a career waitress comes to work in high heels. She'd have blisters the size of a hamburger before breakfast was over. And if she wasn't real, then this entire thing was staged. Which was why I guessed that the robbers wouldn't fire off a shot and why I waved off my dad from pulling out his gun. Not give him the paperwork of discharging his weapon."

Harold and Mary were shocked at how Will just picked apart the entire thing when they didn't notice while Agent Coulson was extremely impressed. "Well done, Mr. Detmer." Will heard as he saw a tall African American guy, wearing a black suit/trench coat and wearing and eyepatch enter the diner, flanked by two more agents, one he recognized as Natalie. "I'm impressed."

"What the hell was all this?" Harold asked as they stood by their son.

"A test, Captain Detmer. One your son passed with flying colors." The trench coat wearing man said as he stepped forward. "Nick Fury, director of SHIELD. We've been watching you for a while, Mr. Detmer."

"What the hell for? What do you want with me?" Will asked.

"A chance to meet the mystery hooded man who saved 38 people at the Expo." Fury said as he sat down at a table. "Please, sit."

Will looked at his parents who reluctantly nodded so they sat across from the director. "Forgive all the pop and circumstance, but after seeing how you handled yourself at the Expo, I thought that something like this would-be child's play." Fury said.

"I'm not a soldier." Will replied.

"No, but trained by a fine one." Fury said as Natalie handed him three files. "I believe you know agent Natasha Romanov."

"I'm guessing you weren't at PSEG for the benefits." Will joked as Natasha cracked a smirk.

"I was assigned to watch over you by Director Fury to make sure you were safe." Romanoff said.

"Safe from what?" Will asked as Director Fury looked over the files.

"Safe from people who would do you harm." Fury told him. "SHIELD is not here to hurt you, Mr. Detmer. This test was only for our benefit, to see how you react in a tense situation. Your exploits during the Expo, while impressive, weren't completely illuminating. Thank you, by the way, for what you did."

"What do you want with Will?" Harold asked.

"Just to get to know him and find out what happened." Fury said as he put the files down. "Captain Detmer, you have never heard of our organization, have you?"

"No." Harold replied.

"It's because SHIELD technically doesn't exist to the public. A few key government officials around the world are aware of what we do." Fury said.

"What do you do?" Mary asked.

"We protect the world, Mrs. Detmer. The goal of SHIELD is protection. We protect the world from information and threats that they're not ready to handle. For example, we do our best to make sure that rogue governments don't have access to a billion-dollar battle suit. Failing that, we keep them safe. And that brought us to you, Mr. Detmer." Fury said as he showed them Will's file and still images of him from the Expo in hoodie and mask, destroying Hammer drones.

"Tony Stark said you'd come for me. So, what? Are you doing to hit me with a tranq dart? Probe me?" Will asked as Romanoff chuckled.

"Not unless you give us reason to. Mr. Stark, while helpful in some instances is also someone who we've had to watch. His personality and tendencies make him…unstable to be polite. All SHIELD wants is to keep the world safe and your sudden…appearance is a red flag." Fury said as he looked at Will. "Soon to be college senior, 3.9 GPA, high school soccer and track star. Not so much as a blemish on your record so you'll understand why we're curious as to how a seemingly normal young man can rip apart a high-tech battle suit without touching it."

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Will said.

"Try me." Fury said as Will decided to test his telepathy and read the minds of the people in the room and from what he could hear, they were telling the truth so far. Will looked at his parents who nodded, so he decided to take a leap of faith.

"It happened several months ago. I came home for a long weekend and went to a party with some friends. I had a little too much to drink so I went to clear my head when a meteor crashed down near me." Will said.

"A meteor? Where?" Fury asked.

"Near Great Island." Will said as Coulson stepped forward.

"SHIELD got reports of a possible meteor strike near Great Island, but we couldn't find anything. All we found was an impact crater and the remains of what seemed like a party." Coulson said.

"Yeah, that was me and my friends. They didn't see it either." Will said.

"What happened to the meteor?" Coulson asked.

"I'm not sure. It landed near me and my curiosity got the better of me and I went to see it. It was maybe the size of a car tire…made up of blue crystals. It was an amazing site to see." Will said as he remembered he took a video of it, so he took out his phone, quickly hit the call button before bringing up the video and showing them.

"Incredible." Fury said as he saw the video play out and the meteor, to Will's word looked like it was made out of blue crystals, like diamonds. The video played out and they saw Will touch the meteor. "You touched it?"

"My curiosity got the better of me. The next thing I go, it started glowing brighter, then a whoosh of air hit me, my brain felt like it was going through a meat grinder and I passed out. I woke up a few minutes later when my friends found me, and the meteor was gone. I woke up being able to do this." Will said as he raised his hand as his cup of coffee floated from the counter and over to him.

"Mr. Detmer, thank you for telling us the truth. But we'd like to move you to a secure facility where we can run some tests on you, just to make sure that what you touched isn't contagious or is doing anything harmful to your body." Fury told him.

"You're not taking my son anywhere." Harold told him as he got in front of Will.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Detmer but this is in Will's best interest to come with us. We need to make sure that whatever the meteor did to him isn't slowly killing him or infecting others. The security and well-being of the planet could be at risk." Coulson said as Mary held her son.

"I already checked him over. You're not taking my son to be a lab rat for your god forsaken tests." Mary said as Will thought about it and he didn't realize that he could have put people in danger just by touching the meteor. Or that the meteor infected him with something that's slowly killing him.

"Mom, dad…it's ok. I'll go with them." Will said.

"Will, you don't have to." Harold told him.

"No, they're right. That meteor could have infected me with a disease for all we know. I need to make sure." Will said as Fury nodded. "But I have some conditions?"

"Such as?" Fury asked.

"I'm not exactly a fan of needles and there better not be probes of any kind for your tests." Will said as Fury chuckled.

"SHIELD is more than advance enough to find out what happened to you without using needles or probes, but deal." Fury said.

"Before you do anything to me, I want to know exactly what it is and no lying. You lie to me, that's a deal breaker." Will said as Fury nodded.

"Done." Fury said.

"And my parents can come, without black bags over their head or being kept away. Those are my conditions. Failing that, our conversation hasn't exactly been kept secret as my phone called Tony Stark about ten minutes ago. He probably heard everything, so if you decide to kill us or do god knows what to me, you'll have an issue on your hands." Will said with a smirk as held up his phone and it had called Tony Stark. Natasha was impressed that Will thought ahead.

"Impressive, Mr. Detmer." Fury said.

"My dad always said to always think ahead if you want to make it in this world." Will replied.

"Truer words have never been spoken. You have a deal." Fury said.

Will and his parents were escorted into a SHIELD car and taken to what looked like a regular office building about three blocks away from Time Square in New York City. Will thought they had arrived at a regular business building when they were escorted through the front and he saw the heavily armed security guards and high-tech security cameras and systems all over the building. Will and his parents were searched and given guest security badges before they were escorted to one of the medical labs.

They walked in and it seemed like something you'd see out of a sci-fi movie because it was filled with tech that was either too advance or didn't even exist to the public. "Whoa. I feel like I stepped into something out of Blade Runner." Will said.

"That's why we joined SHIELD, for the toys." Coulson said as he escorted Will to the lone medical exam table/chair. "If you could take off your shirt and lay down, we'll begin."

Will did, showing his toned and well-built body as he sat in the chair and one of the SHIELD doctors attached a small circular wristband with an iv tube to Will's right wrist. "What's this?" Will asked.

"It's our version of an IV drip. It lets us monitor your vitals as well as draw blood without the pain of a regular needle." Coulson said as Will nodded. Will sat down, and relaxed Coulson left the room and joined Director Fury in the observation room. "I'm surprised your still here, Director. You know the dangers of being in the field for too long."

"I'm in danger everywhere I go, Coulson. This is a particular case I want to keep a close eye on. Mr. Detmer is our first proven case of psychic powers. No one on the index has his kind of abilities. He could prove to be a valuable asset for SHIELD." Fury said as the computers began to record and analyze the data from Will's blood. "Begin multi-spectrum biological scan."

"Yes, sir." The doctor said as he pressed a few buttons and a large scanner lowered from the ceiling. Multiple beams of light ran over Will's body as they began scanning Will's body and relaying the information to the computers.

"Skeletal, muscular and organ structure is the same as his file has shown. No changes or mutations there." The scientist said as they brought up Will's blood work and there was the first sign that something in Will had changed.

"What on earth happened to his DNA?" Coulson asked as they computers extrapolated an image of Will's DNA and it showed a DNA molecule like anyone human but now there were extra macromolecules and genetic markers that weren't on his old DNA tests.

"What are we looking at?" Fury asked.

"I'm not exactly sure, sir. His previous DNA samples did nothing to indicate these kinds of genetic changes were possible…but this is something completely foreign to me." The scientist said.

"So, his DNA is mutated, like Banners?" Fury asked.

"No, sir. Banner's change eradiated his blood and gave him a unique DNA structure but his DNA is still human. This DNA…it's not humanely possible." The scientist said.

"Perhaps the meteor Mr. Detmer came into contact engaged some kind of genetic change in his body." Coulson said.

"But it's scientifically impossible to undergo such a drastic genetic change in the span of a few minutes. It's like his body underwent years of genetic evolution in the span of a few moments." The scientist said.

"So, Will Detmer evolved into something we don't know about but from all our research, before he came into contact with the meteor he was a normal human." Fury said as the scientist nodded.

"Yes, sir. Everything shows that Mr. Detmer was just like you or I before this happened. That meteor must have triggered something in Mr. Detmer that caused this change. And from my scans, it would seem that his body adapted to these changes but if this happened to anyone else…the results would likely be death." The scientist said.

"So, the same change that occurred to Mr. Detmer, would kill anyone else if they underwent it?" Fury asked as the scientist nodded.

"From what I can guess, yes. The changes that his DNA went under were somehow tailor to his DNA specifically. The computer suggests that if this happened to anyone else, they likely would have died." The scientist said. "But other than the genetic change, we've detected no signs of radiation, disease, or foreign energy in his body. Aside from the genetic change, Mr. Detmer is completely healthy, more so than a typical male his age."

"Your professional statement on what we've learned today?" Fury asked as the scientist exhaled.

"Sir, I've been privy to very secure and secretive projects under your and Agent's Coulson's authority and Mr. Detmer's blood does share some…passing resemblance to the DNA for Project TAHITI." The Scientist said as Coulson and Fury were shocked.

"Are you sure about that?" Coulson asked.

"I can't say for certain at the moment, sir without further testing but this DNA structure has a similarity to the host DNA for Project Tahiti. It seems that whatever the meteor did to Mr. Detmer changed his DNA similar to that. It would seem that Mr. Detmer is now part alien. But Mr. Detmer still shares 99.8% of the human genome that we do. How this is possible, I'm not sure. We need to run more tests." The scientist said as Fury nodded.

"Keep Mr. Detmer's DNA out of his index file and log it away with a level 10 clearance level. This news stays with us until we learn more." Fury told Coulson.

"Yes, sir." Coulson replied as he and scientists exported the DNA files on Will to a secure hard drive that Coulson carried. "Anything else?"

"Yes. Our scans have also showed how Mr. Detmer's new ability is possible." The scientist said as he now brought up an image of Will's brain and it was active to say the least. "Our scans show that the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem are active in ways that have never been recorded in human history. His neural pathways and neuron activity is astonishing. His brain activity is off the charts to say the least."

"Hyperactive?" Coulson asked.

"Yes, but completely healthy. The scans show no negative effects for this kind of unusual brain behavior and as to how Mr. Detmer is now, this is amazing." The scientist said as usually this extreme case of hyperactivity or active brain chemistry would mean that Will would be jumping off the sides of the room like the road runner, but he was completely fine. There were also no signs of tumors, nerve damage or neuron mis-firing. Will's brain was the picture-perfect example of higher brain excellence.

"You think the meteor caused this?" Fury asked.

"I don't think so, sir. The scanners would have picked up some kind of foreign element in the subject's brain scans, but I think this might be a genetic change caused by the changes to Mr. Detmer's new DNA." The scientist said.

"Will did say that when this happened, he felt his brain was going through a meat grinder." Coulson said.

"It might have been a side effect of the new genetic and mental changes his body underwent. His brain was adjusting to the new developments." The scientist said as this new discovery amazed him.

"Log this with Mr. Detmer's DNA under level 10 clearance level." Fury said as the scientist nodded. "Coulson, give the Detmer's a brief summary of what we've discovered and gauge their reactions. I'll talk to Mr. Detmer after."

Coulson nodded as he left the observation room and walked into the medical room to see Will sitting on the exam table with his parents next to him. "Agent Coulson, how much longer do you plan on keeping Will here?" Harold asked.

"Not much longer. We've gotten everything we need, and the Director has seen fit to let you know that William is in perfect health a man his age. We've detected no alien parasites or dangerous radiation that could put Will or anyone else in danger." Coulson said as Will read his mind and could tell there was more he wasn't telling them.

"There's something else, isn't there?" Will asked as Coulson nodded.

"We did learn that the meteor is the cause for your new mental powers." Coulson said as he showed them an image of Will's brain scan and they saw how hyperactive Will's brain was. "We believe the meteor somehow activated this change in your body and gave you your ability."

"Incredible. Will could be the smartest person in the world with a brain this powerful." Harold said as they looked at the scan.

"Any other kind of changes to Will?" Mary asked.

"None that we were able to detect." Coulson said as Will read his mind.

"Your lying." Will said as Coulson looked at him. "I thought I said that if you lie to me, this whole deal is over. Tell me the truth."

"It's all right, Agent Coulson." Coulson said as Director Fury walked in. "Forgive us, William but we felt that you wouldn't be ready to hear what we discovered."

"Well, if it has to do with my body, then I feel the right to know." Will replied.

"Well, we discovered the meteor activated the change in your brain that gave you your powers, but it did something else as well. It also changed your DNA." Fury said as he showed them a scan of Will's DNA showing the extra macromolecules.

"Holy crap." Mary said as she was astonished at what she saw.

"I'm…a…a freak." Will said as he saw the DNA molecule.

"No, Will you're not a freak, ok. The meteor did this to you. It can be changed." Harold told him.

"Actually, it might not be that simple." Coulson told them. "The genetic changes in Will were completely custom to his DNA. Our data suggests that if anyone else had went through the same incident Will was exposed to, death would have been the likely outcome. The meteor somehow activated the genetic changes in your DNA and the only reason we can think that this was possible, and you didn't die is because your DNA history was not normal to begin with."

"What are you saying?" Will asked.

"Our data suggests that Will is still human, but his DNA now has in-human traits to them. Possibly latent DNA that was activated when he came into contact with the meteor." Fury told him.

"Inhuman? As in Alien?" Will asked as Fury and Coulson looked at each other.

"We're not sure at the moment, but that would be a likely possibility." Fury said.

Will was frozen in shock for a bit as he stood up and tore off the IV band. "Hold up, are you saying that I might be an Alien?!" Will asked.

"Part alien, Mr. Detmer. Your DNA still shows a 99.8% DNA match to the human genome." Coulson said.

"So, Will's part alien. That's a thing?" Harold asked.

"Can we back up to the part alien thing? Aliens are real?" Will asked as Coulson was ready to respond when Will stopped him. "Forget it, I don't want to know! How can you just say that I'm part alien! That isn't something you just say like it's no big deal."

"You wanted to know the truth. This was the best way for you to know the truth." Coulson said.

"Well, epic fail on the whole delivery of the news, by the way!" Will said as he grabbed his head and exhaled in frustration and panic. "I'm an alien."

Will kept repeated that over and over as his parents ran over to comfort him. "Will, calm down. You're part alien, ok. Part, you're still human." His father told him.

"How can you two not be freaking out about this?! I'm an alien!" Will said.

"Your human, Will. Your DNA doesn't change that. Being human isn't about DNA or genetics but philosophy. Just because your DNA says you may be part alien, that doesn't mean you aren't any less human that you've been your entire life." Mary told him.

"She's right, Mr. Detmer. Quite frankly, I believe you're more human than most of the people I've met in this line of work. A young man with tremendous potential and a good heart. This is still new science and we're on the same journey as you are. But this will only change you should you let it." Coulson told him, trying to help him calm down.

"Will, look at me." His mother said as Will did. She held her son close, comforting yet stern. "I know you think that I never wanted this to happen to you or that I may love you any less but your wrong. I will always love you because you are my son. I raised you from a baby who would always cry during the day to the young teenager who got in trouble for spray painting a rival school's gymnasium. You may not be my biological son and you may be part alien, but you are still you. You are William Detmer and more than anything else, don't forget that this doesn't change anything."

"She's right, Will. Your mother and I have and will always love you. Nothing on God's green earth or…space will ever change that." Harold said as Will smiled and started to calm down.

"Thanks, mom. Dad. I…I needed to hear that." Will said as they hugged him close.

"So, what happens to Will now?" Harold asked.

"Because of William's genetic revelation, we've put the sensitive information in an extremely secured file under the Director's direct clearance. No one else has access to this kind of information." Coulson told them.

"Thank you." Mary said as Coulson nodded.

"With Will's new abilities, we'll assign a SHIELD case agent as your point of contact to watch over Will and check in with him every now and then to make sure everything is fine." Coulson told them.

"And there's something else we'd like to discuss with you, Will. It's in regard to your future." Fury said.

"What about my future?" Will asked.

"From your file, you have a lot of potential to help the world. From helping to fix the world's energy crisis at a Fortune 500 company or you can help the world in a different way." Fury said as Will knew what he was suggesting.

"You want me to join SHIELD?" Will asked.

"With your existing knowledge and a little bit of training, I feel that you can do some serious good for this world." Fury said as he handed Will a file. Will took it and it read Avenger Initiative.

"Avenger Initiative?" Will asked.

"Sounds like a bad comic book." Harold said.

"What is it?" Mary asked as Will looked it over and saw they were various pictures and assessments on people like Iron Man, Natalie or her actual name as Agent Natasha Romanoff, another guy with a bow, and a blurred-out picture of a green giant. He also saw the devastation of a small town in New Mexico that he saw on the news.

"The incident in New Mexico. It wasn't a natural disaster, was it?" Will asked as Fury nodded.

"No, it was the beginning." Fury told him.

"Beginning of what? An invasion?" Harold asked as Fury shook his head no.

"The beginning of a change that SHIELD has been preparing for since its inception. I assume you know about the Strategic Scientific Reserve and Captain America." Fury said as Will nodded.

"Yeah, anyone who's ever taken a history class knows about the SSR and Captain America. The Strategic Scientific Reserve was founded by the allies during World War 2 to fight Hydra and the Red Skull. They made Captain America, but they disbanded after the war ended." Will said as his parents looked at him. "I always liked studying that period."

"That's what the public knows but the SSR didn't disband after the war was over. They kept active to save the world from new threats that kept popping up and SHIELD was founded shortly after. SHIELD was founded with a very simple goal in mind: Protection." Fury told him.

"Protection for what?" Will asked.

"Protection for everything. Whether that means protecting one man from himself when he becomes a danger or protecting the world from nuclear apocalypse. It's a very broad job description but the belief that drives us all is the same…that mankind is worth saving. SHIELD has been around for a long time and I've seen the absolute best and worst of this world, but these new threats are something the public isn't ready for. That's why SHIELD is here." Fury told him.

"So, why do you want me? I'm sure you have hundreds of highly skilled spies or whatever. Why do you need me? Or Iron Man for that matter?" Will asked, showing him the picture of Iron Man.

"Because there are now new threats facing the world that even SHIELD will need help with. That's where the Avenger Initiative comes into play." Fury told him as he walked around the room a bit. "The idea is to bring together a group of remarkable people and see if they can become something more…see if they can work together when we need them to. So that when we need them, that they could fight the battles that we never could. And I believe you have a part to play in that, Mr. Detmer."

"But I'm not a soldier or…a superhero. I'm just one man. What could I do?" Will asked as Coulson chuckled.

"A wise man once told me that a man can do the impossible once he realizes he's a part of something bigger." Coulson told him as Will didn't know what to say.

"I…I need to think about this." Will said as he walked over and put on his shirt.

"It's been a lot for you to take in. We've done everything that we needed today, so we'll have a SHIELD escort take you home and watch over you." Coulson told him as Mary and Harold nodded. "And it goes without saying that everything you've seen and heard today is not to be spoken about to anyone."

"Right." Harold said as they were escorted out of the lab and back into the main lobby of the SHIELD building. They handed over their guest passes, and their phones and electronic devices were returned as well as Harold's service pistol. They walked outside where a black SHIELD SUV was waiting for them along with two agents in suits.

"These men will escort you home and give you our emergency information should something happen." Coulson told Harold as they shook hands.

"Thank you, Agent Coulson." Harold replied.

Coulson looked at Will who was on his phone, checking his unread text messages from his friends. "Take good care of your son. He's one of a kind and has a bright future ahead of him." Coulson said as Harold looked at his son.

"Let's just hope it's one he's ready for." Harold replied as Coulson nodded.

Will finished reading his text messages and put his phone in his pocket. He saw his mother waiting by the car and his dad talking to agent Coulson. His dad finished his conversation when Fury walk out to talk to Coulson. Will then got a tingling sensation in the back of his head like at the Expo but this one was more intense. Something really bad was about to happen.

Will looked and saw 6 black SUV's stop across the street and 3 dozen men get out. All of them were wearing regular clothes but with large bulges in their jackets and coats. He saw three guys open up the trunks of the cars and take out grenade launchers.

"LOOK OUT!" Will shouted as ran and tackled him mom to the ground as the men fired three grenades and hit parked cars, causing large explosions, and sending people to the ground. The other men opened fire with assault rifles and light machine guns as innocent bystanders and agents were gunned down. The ones who were gunned down took cover and took out their pistols. Will covered his mom as bullets riddled the SUV they were hiding behind sending metal and glass all over them.

"DAD!" Will shouted as he looked up and saw his dad shooting back from behind one of the building's pillars.

"WILL, STAY DOWN!" His dad shouted as he loaded a fresh clip into his pistol.

"This is Agent Coulson, we have a code red! Immediate back up required! 3 dozen tangos, heavily armed! The Director is here! We need an extraction and containment unit immediately!" Coulson shouted into his ear comm as he fired two shots at one of the attackers, killing him.

People ran for their lives as nearby police men fired back, calling in backup. Soon, Agent Romanoff and a squad of heavily armed agents in tactical gear came out of the SHIELD building and began firing back, killing a few more of the attackers. The attackers responded by fired more grenades at the building, killing a few more agents and knocking people to the ground from the explosions one of whom was Agent Romanoff who was knocked back. One of the attackers loaded grey grenades into his launcher and fired them, releasing a thick cloud of smoke.

"WILL, RUN INSIDE NOW!" Coulson shouted as he fired his gun, covering them.

"Mom, stay with me, all right!" Will said as he stood up and they ran to the building.

"Target sighted. Take him out!" One of the attackers shouted as four men pulled out modified RPG's. They aimed and fired at the building where Will was going. Will got another tingling sensation, turned, and saw four rockets headed towards him. He acted quickly and raised his hands, making a telekinetic shield when he saw the rockets split apart into smaller pieces. They hit Will's shield, but the force was too much for him to handle and he was sent flying through the air and hit the side of the building.

Will fell to the ground like a sack of bricks and couldn't breathe. He groaned in pain as he felt like a car was sitting on his chest, struggling to get air into his lungs. He coughed his lungs up as he looked and saw his mom on the ground and his dad ran over to help her. His dad fired his gun at the attackers, grabbed Mary and they ran for cover when a bullet ripped through his chest where his heart was. Will saw blood fly through the air and hit the ground as his dad fell to his knees. Harold looked at his son, blood dripping from his mouth and smiled when another bullet hit him in the chest and he fell to the ground, dead. Will managed to push himself up on all fours when he saw his mom rush over to his dad when another bullet hit her in the chest and she fell down on top of him.

"NOO!" Will shouted as Coulson, Romanoff, and Fury saw Harold and Mary Detmer dead on the ground and Will reaching out to them.

Coulson and Romanoff tried to get to him, but the attackers got closer and fired at them, forcing them to stay behind cover. The attackers were nearing the entrance to the building, suppressing the SHIELD agents with heavy fire while one of the attackers walked forward and aimed his assault rifle at Will. He fired his entire magazine at him, but Will raised his hand and the bullets stopped mid-air. The mercenary fired until he heard a click and saw all his bullets froze in the air. Will looked up and his eyes were filled with a soul-searing rage as he glared at the man who shot at him.

"RAHH!" Will shouted as he thrust his hand out and the bullets fired back and riddled the man like he was swiss cheese. The other attackers all aimed their guns and fired at him as Will raised his hands up.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Will shouted as all the bullets they fired stopped mid-air in front of Will. Will's hands and eyes were glowing blue and the glow seemed to reflect his emotional state as they were flickering like a raging fire. Will's powers began to affect the area as glass windows from the nearby buildings shattered, rubble and metal from the ground began to float in the air and even the SHIELD building began to shake.

Coulson, Fury, and Romanoff couldn't believe what they were seeing as it was a full display at the sheer raw power that Will possessed. The attackers kept firing bullets until their ammo clips ran dry and they saw several hundred bullets floating in the air and not a single one hit. The bullets clinked on the ground harmlessly as Will reared his hands back.

"RAHHHH!" Will shouted as he flung his hands forward and all the attackers were sent flying through the air like you would see in the movies. The force that knocked them back was the equivalent of being hit by a speeding car as their chests caved in and some bones were broken. If the force didn't kill them, all of the attackers were sent into the walls of buildings or hit the ground with enough force to make cracks into solid cement or bricks.

Will dropped to his knees as his hands and eyes stopped glowing blue. Coulson, Fury, and Romanoff and the other SHIELD Agents got out from behind cover, seeing at it was over. Romanoff and Coulson ran over to check on the men who attacked them and they were all dead, death by massive trauma to the body. They saw their chests caved in, limbs broken, and necks snapped. Will really did a number on them.

Another tactical SHIELD squad exited the building and aimed their weapons at Will, ready to take him into custody or take him out. "Stand down!" Fury told them as they did and backed away.

Fury walked up and saw drops of water hit the ground below Will's face and he knew that Will was crying. Will crawled over to his parents' bodies, seeing the bullet wounds and he couldn't feel a pulse. Will broke down crying as he held his parent's bodies while SHIELD agents began to secure the area. Fury looked at the destruction that Will caused and realized that he could be the most powerful enhanced individual on the Index, but he also noted how he and the SHIELD Agents weren't harmed…Will protected them. His powers may make him dangerous, but above all Will's heart and head control them.

A week had passed since Will's parents death and Will took it hard. He blamed himself for not stopping the attack when he could have. With his powers, he could have ended it sooner and his parents would still be alive. The men who attacked Will at SHIELD were mercenaries, hired by someone to kill them. It was still up to debate as to who they were there to kill because Fury could have been the target, or it could have been someone who wanted Will dead. But they were pros, teeth were filed down, fingerprints removed, identities scrubbed, and all the weapons were untraceable, whoever was behind it did their homework.

He was currently back in New Jersey for his parents' funeral. With his dad being a police captain and former Air Force Captain, he was being buried with full honors. The cemetery was empty as police officers in full uniform lined the road where Harold and Mary's coffins would be driven down. Bag pipes played as a funeral car holding their coffins slowly drove down the road with saluting officers flanking them. The police commissioner, a priest, and Will walked ahead of the funeral car to the plots of land where they would be buried.

Flanking the funeral car were the officers from Harold's police station, followed by Will's aunts and uncles and then the men that Harold served with in the Air Force. They arrived at the plots of land as the coffins were moved and everyone took their seats. Flowers and beautiful arrangements were around as pictures of his parents were covered in white flowers. Will sat down in the first chair as his Uncle on his mom's side, Jeffrey Mace sat next to him. He was a Journalist for International Affairs, so he traveled a lot but whenever he was around, he was a good uncle to Will.

Next to Mace was Will's uncle on his dad's side, Stuart Detmer and his wife Lenore and their 18-year-old daughter Kim, Will's cousin. They sat down as the priest gave his sermon and blessed their souls and offered his condolences for Will and the family. Then 6 police officers held up the flag above Harold's coffin as 7 police officers did the 21-gun salute. A police officer then played the funeral tone on a trumpet as all the police officers saluted and the 6 officers folded the flag and handed it to Will. Everyone paid their respects to Harold and Mary and to Will as they made their way out of the cemetery to the funeral reception.

Will stayed behind in the cemetery as everyone, but his relatives had left. Will stared down at their graves as his uncle walked over.

"Will, we're heading to the reception." Jeffrey told him as Will nodded.

"You and Uncle Stuart go ahead. I want to stay here for a bit." Will told him as Jeffrey nodded. He hugged Will as Will hugged back, and Jeffrey, Stuart, Lenore, and Kim left the cemetery for the reception. Will stared at their graves before kneeling down, picking up a plot of dirt and standing back up. He kissed his hand dropped the dirt onto their graves.

Will looked at their graves as Tony and Rhodey walked over. "It was a beautiful service." Tony said, not wanting to say anything that would offend or come off as dick-ish with how Will was feeling. He knew from experience was he was going through.

"They shouldn't be dead in the first place. If I hadn't brought them, they'd still be alive." Will said as Rhodey and Tony looked at him.

"Will, you couldn't have known what would have happened." Rhodey told him.

"If I went by myself, they'd be at home safe instead of dead in the ground. Nothing you can say will change that." Will replied.

"As someone who knows what you're going through…." Tony said as he pat Will on the shoulder. "nothing you say now can change what happened. Don't torment yourself with guilt over this."

"I'm not." Will said as Rhodey and Tony looked at them. "I had a part to play in their deaths but so did the men and whoever ordered that attack. I accept what I did but now I make this promise on their graves. The man who ordered that attack…the man who sent them and killed my parents…hell will seem like vacation once I find him. And if I'm going to do that, I'm ready for what I need to do, Director Fury."

Tony and Rhodey were confused what Will said when they heard footsteps. They turned and saw Fury, Coulson, and Romanoff wearing funeral garb walk over. "Being a spy might not be the answer, Will." Rhodey told him.

"I never said that. When I asked my dad why he wanted to go into the police, he told me he felt it was his duty. He always told me that he spoke for the dead, once the wicked robbed them of their lives. It was a never-ending war and he knew he couldn't fix everything. The best he hoped for was that he could find a place to make his last stand." Will said as he tightened his fist. "His fight is over, and mine begins."

Will looked at Fury with determined eyes. "You said you wanted an Avenger…I'm in." Will told him as his life changed that moment.

End of Chapter 1

Imagine William Detmer as Stephen Amell from Arrow. Currently, the body size of Amell in the season 1 flashbacks but with short hair like during the present episodes.

The meteor is Primagen, and I'll leave it at that until it comes up later in the story.

Cyclops' motorcycle from the X-men movies.

I hoped you guys like the prologue/first chapter. This was really meant to just establish my OC Character to the MCU and his powers. For those who are familiar with Marvel Comics and know what Primagen is, then it'll come into play much later when the Agents of SHIELD arc starts. Also, Will's powers and genetic revelation will come into play much later in the story when he discovers someone who can tell him more about what he is.

Next Chapter, Will's training as an Avengers and SHIELD special operation, tactics and defense agent begins. He'll learn to fight and discover how his new mental abilities can help him train but nothing beats real world experience. Although, that real world experience has its drawbacks.
