Peter Parker was sitting in front of one of the smart computers of Avengers' facilities trying to find a signal to connect to Thor. He's been doing this for a week but wasn't losing hope.

"Please, Mr. Thor, please...", he was whispering in confusion.

After few more attempts he finally got through to the Guardians of the galaxy.

"Oh my Gosh, finally!", Peter exclaimed with a wide smile on the face.

Quill was on the line.

"Spider-kid, is it you?", he asked, obviously surprised.

"Starlord! Yes, it's me and I need Mr. Thor.", Parker said excitedly. He even didn't notice that Quill called him Spider-kid (he doesn't like to be called like that).

"He's busy eating chips."

"Who's that, Quill?", Thor shouted sitting on the bench and eating chips with a great appetite.

"Enjoy your meal, Mr. Thor but this is really important!"

Thor came closer to the screen and asked "What's up, kid?"

"Mr. Thor, i'm trying to reach to every avenger to warn you about my problem. I can't be an avenger for some time, at least for a month, there was no one except of me who could keep the order on the Earth and all of you are spread in different corners of the Universe or have a rest after the big battle. I need you to be careful, I mean, I know that everyone has their own jobs and responsibilities but, uh-"

"I understood, kid. Don't worry. I'm going back on Earth in a week. We had a conflict with some aliens, so I was a little bit angry and tired and-"

"A little? Seriously? You cut off all their freaking heads without even blinking!", Rocket joined the conversation.

"It's just i'm always going for head now.", Thor answered with a painful smile... Seems like old events left deep scars.

"Oh my Gosh, that's awesome! Thank you so much!", Peter exclaimed.

"But why? Why can't you be an avenger?", Thor asked.

"A few days ago a guy, called Mysterio, attacked London. This is really long story but in short, before he died, he had set me up. Blamed all his crimes on me. Seems like it wasn't enough for him, so he revealed my identity to the world! And now I'm stucked here in Avengers' facilities, Fury told me not to show up until he figured out everything. That's all."

"Well, sounds really bad. Thanks for calling me. If you need something, i'll be in charge."

"Okay, thank you, have a good day, say hi to all the guardians! Bye!"

"Bye, little spider."

After these words both of them ended the video chat.

Loki was standing on the bus stop. He was thinking about next place to find people with unnatural abilities. Last 8 months it became his job. His appearance changed a lot too. He had a beard that looked like Tony Stark's one (Loki wasn't really creative about his choice of beard), instead of long greasy hair there was a man bun. His wardrobe was full of different suits, scarfs and coats. Weather was rainy, usual thing for London, so coats and scarfs were necessary.

Loki has already collected about 2 hundred people for his army. Not all of them were like Wanda or T'Challa but they had great skills and physical health.

The bus arrived and Loki took his place in it.
'Think, Loki, think... Where can I find more people? Well, we can try the hotel. Rich hotel. Rich people are always searching for someone more weird than the average civilians to rise money - the only thing that bothers mortals', Loki was analysing.

After some time of the trip Loki understood that he confused the bus and wasn't going to reach the hotel.

'Oh shit! How could I confuse the bus?! I'm traveling on this bus for an hour and how am I supposed to go back? Just the waste of time! All right, firstly, I should leave this bus.'

He left the bus on the next stop and there was a big shopping center next to it. Loki decided that such crowded places are perfect for the terracts and, of course, they won't happen without skilled people. He entered the shop, sat on the sofa near the guards and was waiting for something more interesting than ladies on heels making out with ugly guys.

"Another mewling quims...", Loki mumbled.

And it was worth it...

Loki's been waiting for an hour and noticed something very interesting. A fat guy who was about 40 years old was trying to steal the purse of a young ginger woman, maybe even teenager but he failed because with a few moves she pushed his face to the column and hold his hands.

'Oh my God, this is interesting...', Loki thought. He was attentively watching what was going to happen next.

Guards noticed lady's behavior and came towards her and the desperate thief, who was still pushed to the column.

"Lady, what are you doing?"

"He tried to steal my purse!"

"I didn't do anything, she attacked me.", man claimed.

"Let him go!", the guard shouted.

Trickster decided to join the conversation.

"She's right. I'm the witness. I saw how he was trying to reach to her purse", said Loki, going towards them.

"Thanks, God, at least one sane person", girl said.

"You're welcome", Loki replied. He's a God too, after all. Ginger gave him a weird glare.

"Do you want to write a claim? We can call the police", guard offered.

"No, I don't have time for little assholes."

The guard let the sinner go and went back to his work. Loki was exploring girl's appearance. Average height, figure isn't perfect (definitely not for actresses and models) but very sporty, she is skinny but has muscles. Red hair, soft facial features, there are a lot of scars. Not so beautiful. She looks very young, about 15 years old. Clothes are dull. Nothing special. Black jeans, red t-shirt, black sneakers. Girl interrupted Loki's thoughts.

"Thank you for supporting me, I really didn't want this piece of shit to be my another trouble."

"That's what normal people do. I am Lucas, by the way."

Loki stretched his hand, while introducing himself.

"Elif. Nice to meet you." They shook hands.

"Are you busy?"

"Well, kind of yes. I'm on vacation and I have an excursion."

"Oh, you're a tourist. Where are you from?"

"Turkey."

"Wow. Well, i'm a citizen, so I can suggest something, if you need. That's my phone number. If you'll have problem, call me. Pity that we can't spend some time together, maybe another day.", trickster picked the notebook and a pen from his pocket, wrote his number and gave it to Elif."

"Thank you, i'll keep it on mind"

"Well, see you soon, I guess."

"Yeah, good bye."

Loki left the shopping center.

'Okay, this man is strange. Something is wrong about him.', Elif thought.

"They are turkish FBI agents. Best friends from primary school. The ginger one has unnatural strength, she can lift an average man without any effort. Also she has fast reflexes, great fighting skills, especially whith knifes. The black haired one is more into guns. Same thing with reflexes but she's not as strong as agent Topaz. We sent them invitations for negotiation, they should arrive in a few minutes."

"Great. We need someone who can fully own this work, so we won't be forced to ask a little kid to do it.", said Fury to Hill.

"Thank you for the search, by the way.", he added.

"No problem, this is what we do. World needs a new generation of the Avengers. Hopefully, not crazy ones", Maria chuckled.

Someone knocked the door.

"Come in.", said Fury.

Two girls entered Nick's office.

"Sit down here, please.", Hill specified.

Ladies sat on two armchairs and Nick started his speech.

"Aylin Topaz and Hazal Demir, I guess you read the invitations we sent to you. We consider you as candidates for the new generation of the Avengers. I am sure you understand what this work demands of. What are your answers?"

The ginger girl started first.

"I am honored that you considered me for such work but I assure you, I am not the one for whom you are looking. My answer is no"

"Why?", Hill asked.

"If you want to be an Avenger, you should be philanthropist. You should be ready to sacrifice everything you have and yourself for the others. And my views on life do not involve any of these."

"But, Ms. Topaz, you're an agent of FBI. This work is almost the same, if we talk about responsibilities.", Fury declined.

"No, it's not. If I say yes, i'll disappoint you, believe me."

"All right, what about you, Ms. Demir?"

"I am saying yes. I want to do this work and I feel that I am ready to take this responsibility."

"Thank you. Let's enter into the contract. You, Ms. Topaz, can leave.", Fury replied.

"I can't believe that you just disagreed to do something together with me! You should've agreed too. This is the first time when we're doing something not together.", Hazal said walking through the corridor with her friend.

"I have enough headache with my work as an FBI agent."

"Yes, because you're like the best detective there. Female Holmes. You saved so many people when everyone gave up and could do nothing! You'd be perfect Avenger!"

"No, Hazal, my work is agent of FBI, not saviour of the Earth."

"America has Captain America and we have you. Hm, Captain Turkey, sounds great!"

"Shut up, Hazal."

"What? I'm just stating the facts."

"Hey, where are you going?"

"To the elevator. Do you want to stay here for eternity?"

"What about stairs?"

"I'm too tired for them.", Hazal rolled eyes.

"Okay, than see you on the first floor. Sport is life.", Aylin said and ran towards the stairs.

"Hey- Oh, Lina, you're like a hyperactive child.", Demir mumbled and entered the elevator.

Hazal had gone down and logged off the elevator, before she understood that she mistook the floor and now she's lost in this huge building of Avengers' headquarters (there was one little in London too, after what happened to Peter Parker). This place looked like a basement, it was dark and cold in here.

'Who the hell needs an elevator for the basement?'

Suddenly she heard that someone was trying to creep. Sounds of the steps were coming from the front. Girl quickly took the gun from behind and pointed it to the darkness.

"Who's here?"

After a few seconds of silence she asked again.

"Who are you? Reveal yourself before I start to shoot!"

Steps could be heard again and a man's figure was going towards Hazal. Man had long hair, a beard and... Metal arm? He was holding a gun too but a little bit bigger.

"Bucky Barnes, if you wonder. And who are you?"

"Firstly pull down your gun."

"Ladies first."

"Okay, let's do it together... Three... Two... One."

They both pulled the weapons down.

"I'm officially a new Avenger. Hazal Demir."

"I'm here with the same goal - to become an avenger officially."

They shook hands.

"I've heard once about you. They should've make you an avenger for a long time ago just for your attractive greasy hair.", Demir chuckled.

"Oh, thanks. I'm glad that such a nice woman will be my colleague. But, what are you doing here, in the basement?"

"Looking for a sunshine..."

Bucky rised his eyebrow.

"Jeez, of course I got lost! I'm searching for the exit."

"Oh, that's easy, one floor higher.", Barnes pointed at the ceiling.

"Thanks. And what were you doing here, by the way?"

"Never mind."

'Let me guess, you were searching for the lavatory?', Hazal thought but didn't say it loudly.

"See you soon, I think. Goodbye, handsome!", she said and went back to the elevator.

Bucky waved his hand and smiled. It was the first time when someone called him "handsome" since 40's.
