Hello there!

This is just an introduction, a way to ease into the story, but I hoped you liked it! Read and review and tell me what you think!

Evolution was a long and ever-changing story, but one that humanity knew well. For where would we be if not for all the evolutionary leaps our biology has taken over the millennia? However, evolution, for all its good points, destroyed the lives of millions with a single step forward.

The 'X' gene gave those who bore it impossible powers. Mutations came in every way, all of them defying the laws of physics, varying drastically in intensity and power.

Mutants weren't superheroes, no matter their powers. They weren't superheroes, superheroes were good. Mutants were mutants, mutants weren't gods, or aliens, or billionaire geniuses. They weren't spies or scientists or super-soldiers. Mutants were mutants, and mutants were bad.

The world's superheroes weren't mutants, and the public would have rebelled had they even been associated with them.

The Avengers, The Fantastic Four, it was abundantly clear they weren't mutants, their stories were open to the public, everyone knew where they got their powers. People adored them, while mutants were shunned, despised, and openly treated with violence.

Once you were identified as a mutant, there was no going back. Who you were, it didn't matter anymore, your grades, your goals, your morals, not even your powers mattered. You were a mutant, there was no coming back from that.

So, as Ava Pierce stared up at the big, imposing Avengers Tower where her new job was to be, she felt nothing but dread.
