It was hard to believe that she was here and she was now a Avenger of all things. It was still taking some getting used to. Been a member of the X-men for so long, part of her felt like she was a turncoat for joining these new Mutant friendly Avengers. It had all come about in a rather alarming way and she was still trying to get her head around it. A week ago The Nazi mad man known as the Red Skull had the gaul to kidnap the dead body of Charles Xaiver.<br/><br/>Her mentor.<br/><br/>The Closet thing she would have to a farther.<br/><br/>That basterd cut into his head to take his brain, to use his telepathic abilities to spread hate.<br/>Hate which was targeted at Mutants and causing already humans to strike out violently at Mutants across the country.<br/>Luckily a team of X-men and Avengers worked to stop him before he caused world wide damage.<br/><br/>(http://images.tfaw.com/covers_tfaw/400/au/aug120552d.jpg)<br/><br/>Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, Scarlet Witch, Havok and herself fought against the Skull.<br/>It was Steve Rogers idea that they should have a team which was comprised of X-men and Avengers.<br/>Even after the recent fight between the two teams, over the Phoenix force no less. Relations were helped by the Red Skull incident.<br/>Something which given he delicate nature was been kept from the other X-men. Logan was still a Avenger and was trying in his own way to keep the partnership healthy.<br/><br/>But Rogers wanted to send a message out to the world, that the Avengers would stand with the Mutants. Steve wanted Alex (Havok) to be a ambassador for the X-men along with her. She agreed because she hadn't forgiven Wanda Maximoff for the pain she had caused the mutant people over the past few years with her spell which turned many mutants into regular humans.<br/>Wanda risked her own life to save Rouge`s but to the southern belle that proved very little, she herself new about redemption but Wanda was too powerful to risk it.<br/><br/>The woman could bend reality to her very will. That was very scary indeed.<br/><br/>So she agreed to be a Avenger. Along with Wolverine and Havok acting as X-men ambassadors. Both she and Alex had moved into Stark Tower with the other Avengers, Logan still ran his school and came in when he was needed. Anna Marie needed this, she needed a change of scene. Since her relationship with Remy had come to a end and after the whole Hope and Phoenix incident she needed a new purpose in life.<br/>At least Alex was here with her which made her feel so much better, safer, having another X-man starting with her.<br/><br/>The southern belle walked over to the window and looked out across the city of New York.<br/>She was signed up to be a real life superhero now, which would probably meet going out into space, battling Gods and heaven knows what ells. Still, she was up to the challenge as long as she didn't run into Carol Danvers too often.<br/><br/>Awkward.
