Anabell Vox was an agent of SHIELD assigned to work with the Avengers. Anabell always worked as hard as possible in order to get the job done even at the cause of her own health.
After the Accords came and passed she was transferred to office jobs until an emergency took her back onto the field.
Anabell was on the plane heading to the Sayan Mountains, “One last mission and then I’m going back to my very comfortable desk and seat you hear.”
A chorus of laughter was heard through the plane, and an agent responded with the simple “ Sure it is, isn’t that what you said the last time there was a mission that needed some more help.”
laughter filled the cabin.

BAM* BAM* BAM*
That mission was the last time any of the Avengers or agents ever saw Anabell. She was deemed as KIA since they were unable to find her body.
***
Two Years later
The Avengers were in the living room lazing around as they always did on friday when they didn’t have a mission. From their time with Anabell they had learned that it was alright to lean onto their other team mates. They lounged around, talking about their missions that week and other related topics until the door to the lounge burst open.
The Avengers all look up at the door, only to see the person they had long since accepted would never return.
Steve was the first to respond, even if he was still in complete shock,“Anabell?”
“Quit fossil, it's my turn to talk.”
Tony stood up from where he was, near the bar, and looked at Anabell in disbelief, ”How- how are you alive?”
“I grew up from the naive kid I was.”
Thor stood up and stumbled closer to Anabell, on the verge of tears, “I-I watched you die.”
Anabell started to chuckle, looking at Thor disappointedly, “Well, let's just say I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time anyways.”
Anabell looked back to the whole group in the lounge, ‘Tony, Bruce, Steve, Bucky, Natasha, Sam, Clint, Wanda, and ooww even some of my fellow agents, Olivia, Xavier and Sharon …hmm there's a few missing. O well I don’t need them to be here yet.’
“I got a list of names and all of yours are in red… underlined.”
Anabell watches as disbelief turns into confusion on Captain Rogers face before it settled on realization, “Bell don’t do it.”
The others in the room are still in disbelief that Anabell was alive, they had all cared for her deeply even if they didn't always showed it. Yes she didn't have powers, and yes she didn’t have a super serum or specialized in one particular area that made her special but at the end of the day she was still the type of normal that helped them calm down after their missions. She had helped many of them with their problems, ranging from their tramas all the way to disagreements between team members. She was normal in a way that helped them cope with their past, present and they had even hoped that she would always be there for them.
She was their Pillar, in one way or another.
At least that was before they thought she was dead. Now as they looked at the women standing before them, she was acting differently…in a way that caused them to be uneasy. They couldn’t quit figure out what it was, may-
Before they could continue to think about it though, they saw Anabell pull out a gun from behind her and pulled the trigger four times.
BAM* BAM* BAM* BAM*
Silence filled the room after that.
The Avengers were shocked, they had never seen this coming, in a million different scenarios that had played in their heads when they first saw her.
Three different people staggered back and fell to the floor.
Natasha and Clint quickly looked around the room to figure out who Anabell had shot, only to realize who it was. It was Anabell’s fellow agents… correction not fellow agents but former agents. Tony, Sam and Steve ran over to the floor to stop the bleeding. It seemed that Anabell had shot Olivia and Xavier right below their chest, right where their stomach is. The last two shots landed in Sharon, one on her side and the other, on the left side of her chest. It had hit her lung.
“Look at what you made me do!”
Natasha looked back toward Anabell, she saw the woman before her shaking and on the verge of tears. “Anabell, drop the gun.”
“No, I'm not done! I still haven’t killed the last two.”
Sam looked at Anabell in disbelief, “Why did you shoot at them, Anabell?”
Anabell looked away from Natasha and at Sam, “ They are the reason why I almost died!”
