@mineralizedwritings Yay!!!
(I get to Info Dump about my new AU!!! 😃 *squeals*)
OK…OK…before we get to characters, we gotta start with the background!!!
And *cough cough* if anyone else I tagged wants to hear…I’ma gonna go on ahead and tag you again:
@smiley @keilah-h @euodia-vision @lightoverdarkness6BACKGROUND:
For almost 80 years, the land once known as America has been controlled by the Hydra Empire, first controlled by Johann Schmidt, also known as Red Skull, who, though he took over, didn’t do much to expand the empire.
The current Dictator, however, Alexander Pierce, has done much to expand the empire and he has even placed an even stronger Iron Fist on the Hydra Empire. Under his control, the International Hydra Protection Agency was set up by one of Pierce’s old friends, Nicholas Fury, with Pierce’s approval and request. The Agency works to take down and fight back against Dictator Pierce’s enemies, and is made up of several small Strike Teams, each led by a “Captain”, a member of the team that is set up as the leader, though each Strike Team is still under the power of higher-up leaders and especially Pierce. The strongest of the Strike Teams, the Avengers, is personally handled by Fury, and Pierce deems them as his most valuable team.
Each Strike Team’s “Captain” is held as the role model and defender of the team, and is thus punished for any infraction that any of the team members commit, often brutally. The Strike Team “Captains”, then, are sometimes deemed “unfit for duty” due to punishment inflicted upon them.
Pierce’s empire is marked by control, fear, and brutality…and he seems far from being overthrown…until his most prized Strike Team sees the truth and fights to take him down once and for all.
Sooo, what do you think? 😉
(I’ll start on individual characters next 💗)
@freedomwriter76
DUDE!! This is awesome! Who could ever have enough Marvel au’s?
Ok so… I see where this is going. Poor Steve is going to have a really rough time of it 🙁

@mineralizedwritings AHH, TYSM!!! 💗💗💗 ikr!? Never too many XD
and i’m super psyched about this one, lol!
I know…poor boi 😭☹️🥺
@smiley @keilah-h @euodia-vision @lightoverdarkness6Now…for the characters I have fully written out…everyone, here they are!!!
Steve (Steven) Grant Rogers
20 years old
Tall and heavily muscular
(Childhood friend of Bucky Barnes)
Having signed up for Government experimentation after his beloved mother’s untimely death when he was only 16, Steve went through 2 years of brutal training before he was deemed ready for the experiment that turned him into the world’s first super-soldier.
But the experiment, meant to create obedient “soldiers” for the empire, failed to make Steve fully obedient to the empire, and the Dictator of the Hydra Empire deemed him as a failed experiment. Left to the mercy of the scientists at the Dictator’s own “special” laboratory, Steve was saved when it was requested that he become the “Captain” of a Strike Team led by Nicholas J. Fury, an old friend of the Dictator’s and head of the International Hydra Protection Agency, a Government-led international division that works for the safety of the Empire.
The new Captain of the Avengers, Fury’s makeshift Strike Team made up of mostly former Criminals and even those once deemed enemies of the Empire, Steve is tasked with keeping a team under control and under the power of the Hydra Confederacy…not an easy task for a Youth that’s younger than almost everyone on his team and who has to deal with the idea that he could be viciously punished for any infraction his team commits.
And it certainly isn’t easy when the entire team, Steve included, questions everything about everything they’ve ever known about their Empire.
Tony (Anthony) Edward Stark
38 years old
Average height and build
A former Arms dealer that sold his illegal weaponry to the highest bidder, Tony doesn’t exactly have a clean slate with the Hydra Confederacy, even selling his weapons to their enemies.
Thrown into prison at the age of 32 for his Arms Dealings, Tony was going to be killed by the Dictator for his “crimes against the Empire”. Spared when Nicholas J. Fury chose Tony for a new Strike Team he was creating, Tony was given a second chance, and for that, he’s thankful.
He only wished that he was able to do exactly what he wanted…but the Empire still keeps tabs on him.
He has a reactor given to him by a scientist that worked for the Dictator after Tony was fatally injured while trying to escape from the ones who first tried to arrest him.
It keeps shrapnel from destroying his heart, thus keeping Tony alive…but that’s not all it does.
See, the Dictator didn’t want Tony Stark to be able to go wherever he wished…so Tony’s reactor has a tracker inside, and if Tony goes outside of the limit of the area ruled by the Dictator of the Hydra Confederacy, well…
Tony’s reactor will destroy itself by blowing up, killing Tony in the process.
Clint (Clinton) Francis Barton
36 years old
Average height and muscular build
A former circus performer and a survivor of childhood abuse, Clint turned to a life of crime when life left him no other options. Becoming a thief and assassin, Clint saw crime as the only thing left to him. Marrying Laura and raising a family was Clint’s moment of realizing his misdeeds, and he made the choice to change his path in life.
But his crimes weren’t forgotten, and when he was arrested by the Hydra Confederacy, it was only by the Intervention of Nicholas Fury and Tony Stark that he was able to be spared from death.
He had to join Fury’s Strike Team, the Avengers, to “pay” for his crimes, but Clint is still thankful he’s not in prison, and sometimes, he’s able to go stay with his family.
Clint was sent on a lone kill mission to take out one of the Hydra Confederacy’s greatest enemy spy, but when Clint saw the potential in the young woman…he made a different call, and he found both a teammate and his best friend for life.
Natasha Alianova Romanoff
24 years old
Average height and slightly muscular build
(Older sister of Yelena Belova)
Born in a land far from the Hydra Confederacy, Natasha and her younger sister Yelena were separated when they were only 11 and 7, and Natasha was thrown into a life of ballet, training, pain, and espionage.
Quickly becoming someone on the Hydra Confederacy’s radar even by only age 18, Natasha was still able to escape their grasp for years.
A total natural at everything she did, Natasha made a perfect spy, fighter, and assassin…and though she didn’t enjoy her life, she accepted it as her fate.
But she couldn’t remain undetected by the Hydra Confederacy forever, and she came face-to-face with someone from their best Strike Team, the Avengers.
But the man sent to kill her made a different call…and invited Natasha to join him…and Natasha accepted, seeing a chance at a new life.
But her younger sister is still out there…and Natasha may have to fight to rescue her from the Empire she claims to work for.
Bucky (James) Buchanan Barnes
23 years old
Tall and muscular
(Childhood friend of Steve Rogers)
The oldest brother of four kids, orphaned at the age of 15, Bucky was separated from his best friend Steve when Steve signed up for government experimentation, and Bucky was also separated from his younger siblings when they were all split into different homes.
Bucky’s life was tough, and when the family he had to live with became too much for him to handle, he ran off to make his own path in life.
Turning to a life of crime, Bucky got on the Hydra Empire’s radar, and when they came to arrest him when he was 20, Bucky was fatally injured to the point where he lost his left arm. Given a metal one, Bucky was finally imprisoned by the Empire.
The Dictator, seeing possible potential in Bucky, subjected the Youth to programming, training, and brutal punishment, stripping the Youth of almost everything that made him human, deeming him as “The Asset” and seeing him as nothing more than a tool.
Together with “The Widow”, Bucky goes on several kill missions, taking Hydra’s enemies out…one by one.
But when Bucky comes face-to-face with the best friend he once knew, everything he thought he was comes crashing to the ground…and he aches for nothing more than to be free and find out who he really is.
Dr. Robert Bruce Banner (goes by Bruce)
35 years old
Average height and average build
Having a seemingly “easy” life, Bruce lived a good life compared to many of the others on his team.
Earning several science degrees and even a doctorate at the age of 28, Bruce wanted to devote his life to helping others and advancing the various fields of science.
The Hydra Empire, however, had other plans.
They recruited Bruce to create a new super-soldier serum, after the first serum “failed” and created the Empire’s “greatest failed experiment”.
Bruce, trying to use Gamma Radiation to create the serum the Dictator wanted, did everything he could to make a perfect serum.
But the experiment failed…and Bruce was burdened with powers that not even he wanted.
Granted the freedom to live only if he worked under Nicholas Fury, Bruce wasn’t eradicated, but if he ever “steps out of line”, the Dictator already promised that he won’t hesitate to end Bruce’s life…no matter how much it takes to do so.
Thor Odinson
28 years old
Tall and heavily muscular
(Older brother of Loki Odinson)
Strong, fierce, and devoted, Thor is a…fiery member of the Avengers.
Born in a far-away land that was conquered by the Hydra Empire when he was only 8, Thor has always known that the Hydra Empire isn’t as “good” as it seems.
Seeing that joining the Empire’s most valuable Strike Team, the Avengers, is the last choice left open to him, Thor fights for the Empire he doesn’t even truly believe in.
Born with lightning abilities that he can control on his own, Thor is one of the most powerful members of the team, and he doesn’t treat his powers lightly.
His younger brother Loki (27) is also a member of the team, and together, the two of them and their brotherly bond is almost unstoppable.
Wanda Maximoff
19 years old
Average height and build
(Younger twin sister of Pietro Maximoff)
Born in Sokovia, a small, powerless, and starved country that stood against the Hydra Empire, Wanda lost her nation and her parents in the Hydra-Sokovia war when she was only 14.
She and her twin brother Pietro were stolen away by the Hydra Empire and subjected to experimentation.
She gained telekinesis, psychokinetic powers, and the ability to read minds.
Though they were powers she didn’t want, Wanda, together with Pietro, tried to fight back against their captors, an act that led to both of them being imprisoned in solitary confinement for several weeks.
The Dictator, merely wanting to kill them slowly for their “insolence”, was swayed by Fury, who convinced Pierce to let Wanda and Pietro join the Avengers.
Though Wanda wishes she could leave all fighting behind and have an easy life, she’s thankful for the second chance she’s been given, and she’ll do anything to stick by her brother…he’s all she has left.
Pietro Maximoff
19 years old
Average height and muscular build
(Older twin brother of Wanda Maximoff)
Born in Sokovia, a small, powerless, and starved country that stood against the Hydra Empire, Pietro, like Wanda, lost his nation and his parents in the Hydra-Sokovia war when he was only 14.
Stolen away by Hydra, he and Wanda were subjected to experimentation.
Given superspeed and high metabolism, Pietro’s hair also turned white with the experimentation, and like Wanda, he fought back against his captors.
Imprisoned alone for several weeks, Pietro was on the brink of becoming insane when he was spared by the intervention of Nicholas Fury, head of the Dictator’s International Hydra Protection Agency.
Pietro can finally use his powers for something…even if it still isn’t something good.
Wanting only to fight back against the Hydra Empire, Pietro is almost a ticking time bomb, but he obeys only to protect his twin.
He’ll do anything for Wanda…anything.
Samuel (Sam) Thomas Wilson
26 years old
Average height and muscular
Born in the Hydra Empire as the oldest of two, Sam has always seen it as his duty to protect his younger sister Sarah, especially after the deaths of both his mother and his father.
When he enlists into the Hydra Empire’s new Paraglider Air Force division, Sam is well-trained and learns several new skills.
When a dangerous mission takes away his best friend Ryley, Sam begins to question everything, and when he’s released from the Empire’s Air Force, Sam begins to openly question the Empire.
Arrested and placed in prison with a lifetime sentence for questioning the Dictator, Sam is released early when Nicholas Fury requests for him to join his team.
Sam wishes he didn’t have to fight for the Empire he doesn’t trust any longer, but with no other option than Prison, Sam lives with the cards he’s been dealt.
But that doesn’t mean he isn’t fighting back in secret.
Yelena Fyodorovna Belova
20 years old
Average height and slightly muscular build
(Younger sister of Natasha Romanoff)
Separated from her loving older sister when she was only 7, Yelena was stolen away to the Hydra Empire, trained to be a skilled fighter, spy, and even assassin.
Brainwashed to the point where she barely remembers who she is, and she certainly doesn’t remember where she came from.
Nicknamed “The Widow”, seen as nothing more than a tool, Yelena works side by side with “The Asset”, going on several kill missions to make the Hydra Empire’s enemies…disappear.
Yelena has no idea the path she’s down, and with being brainwashed, she is unable to see that she’s anything more than the Empire’s weapon.
But when she sees the sister she thought she had lost forever, her entire life is reset…and put back into focus.

OH MY WORD, I FORGOT PETER!!! 😱
brb y’all…I gotta go write Peter’s BIO XD
(Loki’s is pretty much the same as Thor, so I won’t be writing a seperate one for him, and idk if I’ll make one for Rhodey since he’s more of a side character, but we’ll see)
either way, I need to write Peter’s!!!! ahhhh!!!
@freedomwriter76
I love it! I really like how you changed each of their backstories to fit the au, but at the same time kept them with some of their canon stuff! Also Bucky and Yelena will be such an interesting combo, I can’t wait to see how you write them together!
"And so I left this world just as I had entered it. Confused."
Oh my goodness yes Peter!

@mineralizedwritings aww thank u!!! <3 tysm, I always love doing that with AUs 😂 and yess, that will be fun having them working together!! 😉
@smiley @keilah-h @euodia-vision @lightoverdarkness6I have Peter’s BIO!!! :3
Peter Benjamin Parker
16 years old
Average height and skinny build
Having lost his parents when he was only a few months old, Peter was raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben for several years.
Shortly following his Aunt and Uncle’s untimely deaths when he was only 12, Peter was taken in by the Hydra Empire, who, when he was 15, subjected him to radioactive spiders.
Gaining spider-like abilities, Peter saw himself as someone totally different than the teen he was before his powers.
He feels as if he needs to do something for all of the “little guys”, and feels as if the Hydra Empire won’t let him do that.
Feeling like the teen may betray him, Pierce hands Peter over to Fury and lets him join the Avengers Strike Team.
Peter finally feels as if he’s doing something right, finally!
But when he hears Tony Stark’s story, Tony who quickly becomes Peter’s role model, Peter questions everything, and he no longer thinks he’s on the side of right.
@freedomwriter76

@smiley @mineralizedwritings I’m also 100% up to any ideas y’all think about/suggest for this new AU 😉
@smiley @keilah-h @euodia-vision @lightoverdarkness6 @mineralizedwritings
I just wrote this story thing, that I love and it makes me sad
And it’s about everyone’s favorite Sokovian twins
what if Pietro had survived and was in civil war
Pietro looked up from his prison cell to see Ross and a few guards walk in. They made their way over to Wanda’s cell, making Pietro stand up. He had a bad feeling about this.
The guards opened the cell and didn’t waste any time putting some kind of shock brace on her neck.
“Hey, what are you doing?!” Sam asked fury in his tone.
“Wanda has been considered a lethal weapon,” Ross stated.
“She’s a hero,” Scott argued.
Pietro didn’t know what to say, looking at his terrified and feared-filled sister. He began to bang on the widows, screaming. “Let her go! Ross once I get out of here, I’m going to tear you apart!”
“Your threats will be noted when you go to court,” Ross said, with a smile.
Pietro ignored him and continued to yell.
Wanda managed to loosen the guard’s grip on her and ran over to his cell. “Pietro stop! I’ll be okay, don’t get yourself in trouble,”
Ross nodded at the guards, pressing a button, sending a shocking pain through Wanda.
Wanda fell to her knees, overwhelming pain running through her body. Clint looked like he was about to lunge at Ross, and he would if there wasn’t glass in between them.
Pietro got on his knees, looking at Wanda through the glass. She looked up past the pain at him, tears rolling down her face.
“I’m sorry,” Wanda said with a weak voice.
“You did nothing wrong,” Pietro looked up at Ross, he gave a glare so fierce that Ross shivered, stepping back.
Pietro turned back to his sister, giving a soft smile. “It’s okay, we’ll be okay,”
Wanda nodded at him as the guards took her away.
~*~
Pietro slammed the glass, punching and kicking at it. He would run and lunge at it, he’d even tried throwing his mattress, pillow, or anything else at the glass. He’d been at it for hours since his sister had been taken away. Sam, Clint, and Scott had thought about stopping him, but it seemed useless, who could blame him? His sister had just been taken away in a shock collar like some kind of animal.
Sam had a younger sister and the idea of her being treated like Wanda made Sam mad enough.
Pietro slapped against the glass again, but his body was sore and he fell to the ground, leaning against the glass. He was yet to even scratch it.
He blamed himself, he should’ve never joined the Avengers with Wanda. They should’ve done their own thing, but now Wanda was thought of as a monster which just about killed her.
Everyone looked up as Tony walked through the room.
“The Futurist, gentlemen! The Futurist is here! He sees all! He knows what’s best for you, whether you like it or not.” Clint said with an annoyed grin.
“Give me a break, Barton. I had no idea they’d put you here. Come on.” Tony protested.
“Yeah, well, you knew they’d put us somewhere, Tony.”
“Yeah, but not some super-max floating ocean pokey. You know, this place is for maniacs. This is a place for . . .”
“Criminals? Criminals, Tony. Think that’s the word you’re looking for. Right? That didn’t used to mean me. Or Sam, or Wanda, or Pietro. But here we are.”
“Because you broke the law.”
“Yeah,”
“I didn’t make you.”
“La, la, la, la, la . . .” Clint continued to sing through Tony’s talking.
“You read it, you broke it.”
“La, la, la, la la…”
“Alright, you’re all grown up, you got a wife and kids. I don’t understand, Why didn’t you think about them before you chose the wrong side?”
“You gotta watch your back with this guy. There’s a chance he’s gonna break it.” Clint warned as Tony walked around the room.
“Hank Pym always said, you never can trust a Stark,” Scott stated.
“Who are you?”
“Come on, man.” Scott seemed more annoyed by that than anything else.
Tony stopped in front of Pietro’s prison cell. Pietro looked up from where he was sitting and at Stark.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know they’d do that to Wanda,” Tony stated with sympathy.
“The Avengers are like a family, right Stark?” Pietro got up and walked to the glass panel.
“Some considered it that-”
“Well I don’t want it,” Pietro tilted his head. “I had a family, parents, but… things happen, don’t they Stark?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Tony shook his head, clearly confused.
“Sitting with my family, watching a sitcom, my sister’s favorite one, she loved those shows, everyone did, they were a good distraction from the war,” Pietro paced around his room. “Shell hits two floors below, parents fall through,”
Tony didn’t know where this was going, but everyone in the cells was now listening.
“A second shell hits this one right in front of us, I pull Wanda under the nearest bed but the shell doesn’t go off, and we lay there, for days! Waiting to die, one word is on that shell, Stark,”
Tony took a few steps back, guilt filling him. He shook his head, he couldn’t accept that, he could face that truth.
“We were ten years old,”
Scott turned from the cell, his daughter was only a few years younger than that.
“We waited days for you to kill us,” Pietro slapped against the glass, pulling Tony out of his speechlessness. “And what do you do? You put her in a straight jacket, even though that bomb would’ve hurt more people if it would’ve gone off on the ground.”
Tony looked around the room, everyone was staring at Tony. he looked back at Pietro. “I’m sorry,”
Pietro bit his lip and swallowed. “They were good parents, we were a good family,”
