Soul Of A Raven

Summary:

Runyx is a lot of things. A criminal, though? That's not one of them.
When SHIELD labels her as such, she is forced to live with the Avengers until she can explain what she's done.
But that would mean also explaining what she actually is.

 

This story was originally going to be on my Wattpad(Callie_the_Cat), but I decided I wanted to have a story here. Let me know if I missed any characters/tags/warnings.

Chapter Text

How do I keep getting myself into this kind of situation? I was being chased through the streets of New York by a small group of people in uniform. This is the third time this week! 

Wait, I should probably start from the beginning. My name is Runyx Lindsay! I'm what is called a Demi-witch! See, my mother is a witch from England! My father though, is something quite different. We don't talk much. What is he? Well, it's not important right now.

So where was I? Oh right, being chased. I slid around a corner and down an alleyway, hiding in a shadowy corner. The uniformed stalkers ran down the alley, completely passing my hiding spot. I pulled out a long hoodie and put it on, hiding some things that would make me stand out. The scars covering most of my limbs for example, but that's a story for later. 

I ducked into a local pawn shop, gave the necklace from my pocket to the cashier, and went upstairs. I had a deal with the shop owner. Swipe some valuables from people while I'm out and stay in the flat above the store free of charge. The owner was a very interesting woman. Her name is Morgan Douglas.

"Nameer! Kólasi! I'm back!" I called. An orange tabby cat padded into the room, followed by a black dog. An owl also flapped over from my windowsill, landing on my shoulder. "Oh, Ruffle! I thought you were still in Canada!" The owl hooted cheerfully as I passed him a treat. I took the letter from his talon and sat down to read it.

Rune! It is so nice to hear from you! I'm doing great, thank you for asking. Storm is doing fine, although she got into a fight with the donkey the other day. I was wondering if you knew when you'd come up to visit again?  It's been a while, and it would probably be a good place to hide from SHIELD for a bit. And you don't need to worry about Ruffle getting enough food here, she keeps the mice in the barn under control since the cats won't do it.

With care,

     Jay

Yes! I forgot to mention! The 'uniformed stalkers' were SHIELD agents! I've been labeled a potential threat, so they are supposed to bring me in. But thanks to my powers, it's quite the challenge.
