A new challenge

Chapter 6: Powers

"Wow." Clint commented as he and Steve entered the main living room of the Avengers Tower. "Tony's still alive." The billionaire glared at the archer but didn't mutter a word. "Pepper not killed you yet then?"

"You know what Legolas, you need to shut the fu-"

"Language!" Steve exclaimed, breaking up the brewing argument between Ironman and Hawkeye.

"Hey it's his fault I'm digging at him." Clint said, holding up his hands.

"You both need to stop." Natasha rolled her eyes at the three arguing men. Suddenly there was a thud from the roof followed by three voices.

"No! No you can't make us go back!"

"They don't want us! They don't care, this is where we ran from."

"Ladies, calm down please." Thor soothed as he walked into the room with Bethany and Deanna kicking and screaming in his arms. "You both seemed fine when I found you. Who had caused you all this distress?"

"Tony has." Bruce mumbled.

"You know what if everyone's going to gang up on me about this-"

"Girls!" Pepper cut off the ranting billionaire, causing him to growl in frustration. "What were you thinking? Do you know how dangerous, not to mention naughty that was?"

"It's not their fault Tony doesn't like or want them." Clint shrugged as Thor placed the girls down gently. Instantly the brunette made her way to Steve's side while Deanna ran over towards the red head.

"Right that's it!" Tony yelled as one of his suits encased his body. "Carry on Barton, just carry on."

"Guys you both need to stop." Bruce sighed.

"I agree thee are two young maidens in the room." Thor agreed.

"Right Tony, Clint stand down!" Steve ordered. Tony didn't listen and shot a repulser beam towards Clint, who jumped out of the way just in time. Deanna screamed and buried her head in the Russians leg while Bethany simply closed her eyes and turned away from the fight.

Without hesitation Clint notched an arrow onto his bow and aimed towards the male coated in metal armour. "Barton!" Natasha yelled.

"Остановите его! Остановите его! Остановите его!" Deanna cried out in Russian. "Do something!" The blonde cried, taking an unnoticed glance towards Bethany. The small brunette nodded slightly and took a step back, Deanna also moving away from the red heads side.

The pair stared at the arguing and fighting team for a few seconds before Deanna nodded towards her friend again. Bethany closed her eyes, took a deep breath and held her hands in front of her, her fingers spread wide apart. With a mumble from the girl green flecks sparked around her fingers and in the palm of her hands.

Suddenly, all six adults stopped and gasped in awe. Deanna smiled lightly at the calmed down atmosphere before turning to her friend who now had green light circling her hands. "What can they see?" She asked. Bethany glanced her her friend before gently whisking a small amount of green light towards her.

Deanna smiled at the illusion casted before her by the brunette. Butterflies flittered around the room and small animals bounced along the floor. The sound of the ocean flooded the room and a peaceful nature was created easily. Deanna smiled towards Bethany and the brunette happily returned it.

After a few moments Bethany let the illusion drop and the adults snapped back into reality. When they did Deanna noticed a burn on Clint's left side. Before anyone could asked questions the blonde jogged over to the archer and pointed towards the smallish mark.

"Oh." Clint muttered, lifting the bottom of his top up to take a look at the burn. Quickly Deanna pushed his hands away from touching the burn and hovered her hands over it. A soft blue glow spiralled from her hands and settled onto the Agents skin, on and around the burn.

When Deanna pulled away and rejoined Bethany everyone glanced at the burn, however it was no longer there. "What did you two just do?" Pepper asked in awe.

"Well you know we have talents?" Bethany asked, causing everyone to nod a few times. "Well we have powers too." Her voice began quite a slightly embarrassed.

"I can heal wounds and do something I call transferring wounds, I can take a wound from one person and give it to another. Beth can create sound and image illusions at will, giving them to only the people she wants to see them." Deanna explained with a nervous giggle.
