Prologue

Zia Greene seemed to be a normal girl. Well, other than her purple hair, but we don't talk about that. But she's just like any other! Good grades, long hair, working, able to drive, being a vigilante half the time-

Well, being a vigilante isn't so... normal.

In fact, that's exactly why Zia's roommate -- Emma -- calls the Avengers after accidentally walking in on Zia dressing her wounds from a drug bust.

So, Zia woke up to Clint Barton holding an arrow to her face, and the rest of the Avengers -- excluding Bucky, Sam, Peter, Wanda, and Pietro -- standing behind him, ready to fight.

And then instinctively flashed her arm, her throwing knives embedding themselves in Tony's hand, Thor's shoulder, Clint's torso, and Loki's foot.
