He would do anything in the world for her and lately he has started to look at her as more than a friend, he has a crush on her.

BIO:

Cassandra Eleanor Lang, better known as Cassie, was born December 23, 2010 to Scott and Maggie Lang. Cassie was born with a congenital heart defect and her father resorted to becoming a petty thief in order to attempt to pay for the surgery she needed to save her life, eventually causing him to spent time in prison. While her father was in prison, her parents divorced and her mother remarried. Despite the fact that Cassie still idolized her father, her step father still treated her as if she were his own child. Upon Scott’s release from prison, she got to visit him every weekend as per the custody agreement her parents put into place after their divorce. During one of these weekends her health took a turn for the worse and she was hospitalized, the prognosis not looking good unless she had a surgery that only Dr. Sondheim could perform. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, Dr. Sondheim was in need of rescuing which lead her father to steal the Ant Man suit and Pym Particles from Hank Pym in order to save the doctor who would eventually save her life.

Although Scott tried his best to keep his superhero life a secret, Cassie eventually found out about him being Ant Man. She became fascinated with his life as a superhero and began secretly experimenting with her father’s stash of Pym Particles that he had stolen in the beginning. Her mother and step-father eventually learned of Scott’s life as a superhero and felt it was too dangerous for Cassie so they claimed full custody of her and she and Scott were only allowed to see each other during supervised visitations. When Cassie was 12 she would often sneak out while her mother and step-father were asleep to see her father in secret, a fact that Scott was both happy and upset about as he didn’t want to lose all visitation rights should they get caught.

Shortly after she began experimenting with Pym Particles in secret, she grew to be 10 feet tall in front of her mother and step-father after an angry outburst over not getting to see her father. Maggie called Scott and asked him how that could be possible and after talking to Cassie they learned she had been secretly sneaking her father’s stash in an attempt to become a superhero like Scott. Not knowing how to handle Cassie with her new abilities, Maggie transferred custody to Scott so that he could teach her how to use her abilities with the help of the other Avengers.

After the opening of Academy X, Cassie decided to continue mastering her abilities and began training to be an agent of SHIELD at the SHIELD Academy within Academy X. She befriended Jian Hogunson when she met him on her first day of SHIELD training and soon the two became almost inseparable. She considers him to be her best friend. Jian was the first person she came out to when she realized she was a lesbian and he encouraged her to tell her parents. Her father was very accepting over the fact that his daughter likes girls over boys and her mother took some time to warm up to the idea before eventually accepting her. Her step father never fully accepted her but he has not changed the way he treats her despite this fact.

PERSONALITY:

Cassie is concurrently uncertain of herself but determined to live up to the heritage of her father. She can be trusting and very emotional, but not in a prone to hissy-fits manner, being more empathic about those around her. She is very loyal to those she cares about and is willing to do what she can to help them, even if she tends to second guess herself. She does everything she can to make her father proud of her because he is her biggest hero.

RELATIONSHIPS: Jian Hogunson - Best Friend - Cassie met Jian on the first day of SHIELD training and they immediately hit it off becoming almost inseparable. They tell each other everything so when she realized she was a lesbian, he was the first person she told since he knew about him being bisexual and having a thing for their mutual friend Des. He encouraged her to tell her parents and fully accepted her. She thinks of Jian as an older brother and would do anything for him.

Desmond Coulson - Friend - Cassie met Des when he moved in with his uncle Phil as a teenager and they hit it off. She likes to talk to Des, being the first gay person she had met and would often go to him for advice before meeting Jian and realizing her own sexuality. She likes Des and thinks he and Jian would be good together if they would just get the nerve to tell each other how they feel.

BIO:

Scott Summers was born the oldest of two sons of Major Christopher Summers, a decorated Air Force Pilot, and Katherine Summers, a decorated Air Force doctor, in Achorage, Alaska. He had a younger brother named Alex, better known as Havok, who was killed in the fall of the Xavier School twelve years before the opening of Academy X. Growing up Scott lived a very disciplines home life of that of a child of military parents and attended a private school for children of military officers. Scott and his brother had it instilled in them from a young age that Summers men come from a long line of decorated soldiers and they were expected to follow the family tradition, a goal which Scott fully embraced. He was often teased at school for being so dedicated to this goal but he stood his ground, unlike his brother who was more of a fighter. However, their world suddenly changed when their parents decided to take a sudden leave of absence to fly the family to New York for reasons unknown to the Summers children to see a close and trusted family friend. Along the way, for reasons still unknown to Scott, their plane crashed killing their parents and leaving Scott and Alex as the lone survivors after their parents stuffed them into parachutes and pushed them from the plane to save them.

After overcoming their injuries from the crash, Scott and Alex were sent to an orphanage for the children of fallen military officers thanks to strings being pulled by their father’s superiors. While Alex came to terms with the deaths of their parents, Scott struggled for years. Between the trauma from the crash and his emotional state, Scott’s powers manifested themselves at an early age starting with migraines, then seizure like symptoms and before too long he was flashing red eyes at potential foster parents causing him to scare off potential families for him and Alex as well as isolate him from the other children at the orphanage. After years of failed foster family, bullying and abuse, Scott lost his cool and nearly destroyed the orphanage they were staying in causing the officials to want to place Scott and Alex elsewhere. Fearing they would be separated, Scott and Alex set out on their own and lived on the streets for many years.

While Alex embraced this renegade style existence, Scott remained focused on greater ambitions. He expressed a strong desire to rebuild a life that wasn’t on the streets. This put him at odds with his brother. This wedge only widened after a horrific incident in a simple operation to gather food from a truck. In it, the driver of the truck tried to attack Alex and Scott responded by blasting him with his optic blasts. This resulted in the driver being killed. It struck Scott on a profound level, so much so that he resisted using his powers. In repressing them, he made them more unmanageable. By age 15, he was fully blinded and had to cover his eyes at all time. This not only hindered his ability to survive, it hindered his ability to protect Alex.

Eventually, Professor Charles Xavier discovered him. He was offered the chance to attend the Xavier School to have not only a safe haven but to learn to control his powers, the offer was also extended to Alex as well, to which both accepted. It was there that he met and fell in love with his future wife, Jean Grey, and years later lost his brother when the School was destroyed killing both Alex and Professor Xavier in the process. Scott and Jean set out to live a low key life for a while, trying and failing to start a family before they took jobs teaching at the newly opened Academy X where they met their children from alternate timeless, which they later adopted.

PERSONALITY

After the death of his parents, in his youth, Scott was angry and hostile until attending the Xavier School but had a strong sense of determination to keep his younger brother, Alex, safe no matter what the cost. He has a strong sense of family, putting them first and foremost and would do anything in the world for them. Despite being angry in his youth, he showed to have natural leadership abilities as a teenager and later used this to his advantage when becoming the leader of the X-Men. He has been known to love with his whole heart, as has been shown with Jean over the course of their lives together. He has a sarcastic sense of humor and banters with the best of them, as shown with his former teammate Wolverine despite the tension because of Jean. After Jean’s death, before her resurrection, he fell into a deep depression causing him to neglect his duties but rose back into his leadership position upon her resurrection after destroying the Phoenix Force. Scott has been shown to be a very driven and ambitious person, willing to do all that he can to succeed in a particular cause or mission. He is also very loyal and protective of those he cares about, willing to risk his own life to save others.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Jean Grey-Summers - Wife - Scott met Jean at the Xavier School and they immediately bonded over the fact that neither of them could control their powers. After years of friendship, the two eventually fell in love and started a relationship which later lead to marriage. They adopted their alternate reality children after they were unable to conceive children of their own and are still very much in love.

Rachel Grey-Summers - Alternate Reality Daughter - Upon her arrival in the current timeline, Scott and Rachel immediately embraced each other as father and daughter and share a very close and loving relationship despite being from different timelines. Scott is very protective of Rachel, as he is with Jean and Nate, and would gladly give his life for hers.

Nate Grey-Summers - Alternate Reality Son - Like with Rachel, Scott fully embraced Nate as his son upon meeting him and does everything within his power to help him learn to control his powers so that he can stay with them as long as they can. He and Nate share a close and loving bond.

BIO:

Jean Elaine Grey was born the second daughter of John and Elaine Grey. She had an older sister, Sara Grey-Bailey. John Grey was a professor at Bard College in upstate New York. Jean had a stable, loving family life growing up. Jean’s mutant powers of telepathy and telekinesis first manifest when her best friend is hit by a car and killed. Jean mentally linked with her friend and nearly dies as well. The event leaves her comatose, and she is brought back to consciousness when her parents seek the help of powerful mutant telepath, Charles Xavier. Xavier blocks her telepathy until she is old enough to be able to control it, leaving her with access only to her telekinetic powers. Xavier later recruits her as a teenager to be part of his X-Men team as “Marvel Girl”, the team’s sole female member. After several missions with the X-Men, Xavier removes Jean’s mental blocks and she is able to use and control her telepathic powers. She begins a relationship with teammate Cyclops (Scott Summers), which persists as her main romantic relationship, though she also develops a mutual secret attraction to a later addition to the team, Wolverine to which nothing comes of.

During an emergency mission in space, the X-Men find their shuttle damaged. Jean pilots the shuttle back to Earth, but is exposed to fatal levels of radiation. Dying, but determined to save Cyclops and her friends, Jean calls out for help and is answered by the cosmic entity, the Phoenix Force. The Phoenix Force, the sum of all life in the universe, is moved by Jean’s dedication and love and takes the form of a duplicate body to house Jean’s psyche. In that instant, the Phoenix Force is overwhelmed and believes itself to be Jean Grey and places Jean’s dying body in a healing cocoon. The ship crashes in Jamaica Bay, with the other X-Men unharmed. The Phoenix Force, as Jean Grey, emerges in a new green and gold costume and adopts the new codename “Phoenix”, with immense cosmic powers. Meanwhile, the cocoon containing the real Jean Grey sinks to the bottom of the bay, unnoticed. Phoenix continues her life as Jean Grey with the other X-Men, joining them on missions and saving the universe. Some time later, Phoenix becomes overwhelmed and corrupted by her first taste of evil and transforms into a force of total destruction, called “Dark Phoenix”, consuming a star, inadvertently killing the inhabitants of the star’s planetary system, and jeopardizing the entire universe. However, Jean’s personality manages to take control and Phoenix commits suicide to ensure the universe’s safety. 

Upon its suicide by way of a disintegration ray, the Phoenix Force disperses into its original form and a fragment locates the still-healing Jean at the bottom of Jamaica Bay. In trying to bond with her, Jean senses its memories of death and destruction as Dark Phoenix and rejects it. Her body is found some time later and she reunites with her fellow X-Men who are happy to find her alive. She resumes her relationship with Scott, putting to bed her feelings for Wolverine, but when he proposes to her some time later she rejects him initially before later proposing to him and later they were married. Both Jean and Scott returned to the Xavier School as teachers upon retiring as X-Men, wanting to start a family. After years of trying to conceive, however, they found that they were unable due to the effects of Jean’s death and time spent in the cocoon the Phoenix Force surrounded her in.

After the destruction of Xavier School and the death of her mentor, Charles Xavier, Jean and Scott lived a low key life trying to find a new safe haven. Upon hearing of the opening of Academy X, Jean and Scott were among the first of the Xavier School Alumni to join as instructors. It was there that she and Scott met their alternate reality children and due to the fact they couldn’t have any of their own, they welcomed them both with open arms and adopted them as if they had given birth to them themselves in their timeline.

PERSONALITY:

The picture Jean presents to the world is calm and cool with great self-esteem. She is emotionally strong, practical, and a steady presence to her team-mates She also has a passionate side that can appear in battle, which makes her a dangerous opponent. Jean has a warm heart and will, without doubt, help those in need, treating humans and mutants alike. There is no doubt that she would selflessly give her life for her comrades or to save mankind/mutantkind. In fact, once when she did exactly that, it lead to the creation of the Phoenix entity on Earth. To her friends, Jean is a steady anchor that can be trusted at all times.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Scott Summers - Husband - Jean and Scott met while attending the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters in their early teens and were friends at first. After a few years of going to school together and being friends, they both became romantically attracted to one another and started a relationship which lasted until this day. Despite the fact that she was secretly attracted to fellow teammate, Wolverine, while dating Scott she ultimately chose Scott in the end as her love for him was stronger. They later married and decided to start a life together. 

Rachel Grey-Summers - Alternate Reality Daughter - Jean welcomed Rachel with open arms as she was unable to conceive a child of her on in her current timeline and they share a close and loving relationship as mother and daughter.

He hails from an alternate reality where he is the biological son of Scott Summers (Cyclops) and Jean Grey (Phoenix) but rather than being born naturally he was artificially created in a lab by a man by the name of Mr. Sinister using genetic material of both Scott and Jean. Sinister created Nate to be the ultimate mutant. It is possible that, with practice, Nate could be the most powerful psionicist on the planet. Unfortunately, his powers are so powerful that he often has little control over them and their continuous use actually slowly are killing him  (Power Reserve is used very often). Powered combat exhausts him (and sometimes forces him to do Desperate Recovery Checks).

Cyclops, who didn’t know of his connection to Nate, helped to save Nate from Mr. Sinister and Nate was subsequently raised by Forge. His native reality was ruled by its version of Apocalypse. Those struggling against Apocalypse, including X-Man, eventually managed to undo their past and erase their reality, so it would be replaced by one where Apocalypse didn’t conquer the world during the late XXth century. A handful of persons survived, including Nate, and was transported to the current reality in New York.

Throughout his lifetime he longed for a family, never really getting to have a traditional childhood.  As Nate was the product of cloning and accelerated aging, he has not had a traditional emotional development. As such, he has never made any place for yesterdays or never made any room for tomorrow. He expects to die young, although he really does not want that, out of using his powers. Upon arriving in New York in his new reality, he met his parents and they fully accepted him as their son as they were not able to conceive children of their own in their reality. He also learned around the same time that he had a sister from another reality named Rachel to whom he also became close to. His parents and sister help him to control his powers, which he had yet to get full control over, and he attends Academy X with the intent of continuing his studies on the XMen track upon graduation as it’s his last year. Missing his friends back in his reality, Nate tries to make friends in his current reality, getting close to the underclassman Nathaniel Barton to whom he admires due to his carefree attitude and optimism.

PERSONALITY:

Nate is a heroic, but angry young man seeking a place in an unfamiliar world. He is a firm protector of the underdog, although his methods are somewhat violent for the standards of society in our world.As Nate was the product of cloning and accelerated aging, he has not had a traditional emotional development. As such, he has never made any place for yesterdays or never made any room for tomorrow. He expects to die young, although he really does not want that, out of using his powers.His subconsciousness has sometimes turned off parts of his powers as a last way of conserving his energies so that he might continue to live.Thus, he has often been his own worst enemy, jeopardizing his life when locking out the use of his powers at critical points in time. He has also many times been responsible for creating both menaces and miracles around himself subconsciously ; these effects, however, always end up giving him troubles later on. Other solutions to his problems are that Nate sometimes has discussions with holographic versions of his friend and himself to sort things out.He often thinks about his place in things ; that he doesn’t really belong in this world, or does he? He longs for his friends left behind at the Age of Apocalypse. Nate will help strangers any time, particularly kids. Nate often does things just to spite someone, even himself. He’s a good kid at heart so this is not for evil reasons, but just to prove the point. 

Nate has spent some time among homeless people helping them out in various ways as well since they too are, in a way, outcasts like himself. Nate often visits the Washingtone Square Park in New York’s Greenwich Village to play host to an eclectic crowd of city dwellers and tourists alike and help them out as needed using his psi-talents. This activity provides Nate with a refuge and a sense of purpose.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Jean Grey-Summers -

Alternate Reality Mother - Nate never really got to know his parents since he was the result of genetic cloning so when he met Jean and Scott in the current reality he fully embraced the parents he had always longed for. As Jean is one of the most powerful mutants in the current reality, like himself in his, he often goes to her to help him with his abilities as he is still not able to control them. He and Jean have a very close and loving relationship to which the latter fully embraced Nate as her son as she was unable to conceive in her reality.

Scott Summers - Alternate Reality Father - When Nate met Scott, he was reminded of the Scott who saved his life in his reality and how he wished he had developed a relationship with him them despite not knowing he was his father at the time until much later. Nate and Scott have a close and loving relationship, the latter having fully embraced Nate as his son much like his wife, and he often goes to his father for advice.

Rachel Grey-Summers - Alternate Reality Sister - Nate thought it was cool that he had a sister from another reality like himself and that their parents embraced and adopted them both upon their arrival in the current timeline. He and his sister have a very close relationship and help each other deal with the pasts they left behind in their realities. Nate is very protective of his sister as she is of him and he would do anything in the world for him.

She fulfilled her duties, but her psychic powers linked her to her victims; fueling her grief and despair until she attacked Ahab and scarred him. In return, he sent her to the mutant concentration camps. There, she befriended the surviving mutant rebels, including Wolverine, Magneto, Colossus, Storm, Kate Pryde, and her lover, the adult Franklin Richards. Rachel managed to send Kate’s consciousness into the past to her younger self to prevent the assassination, but it did not change their time. Rachel sent her astral form into the past to find out why and discovered she had sent Kate into an alternate past. On the way back, she encountered the disembodied Phoenix Force and it followed her to her present. Rachel passed out from the strain of astral projection and the Phoenix Force revealed itself to Kate, who asked it to give Rachel a fresh start.[5]When Rachel and Kate broke into “Project: Nimrod” on a suicide mission to destroy a new model of Sentinel, they became trapped. When Kate spoke the words “Dark Phoenix,” the Phoenix Force ripped Rachel from her timeline and sent her body back to the alternate past to which she had sent Kate’s consciousness, present day New York.

Upon entering this new reality, Rachel learned that she had a younger brother named Nate and that her parents were still alive and teaching at the new safe haven for mutants and young heroes, Academy X. Her parents and brother accepted her fully upon meeting her despite the difference in realities because they had all faced stranger things in their past like the fact that Nate himself came from an alternate reality. She took a job teaching Beginner Mental Powers classes alongside her mother, Jean Grey-Summers, so that she can help others with abilities like her own learn their powers.

PERSONALITY:

Rachel is very level-headed and confident. She can still be slightly impulsive at times, but not as dangerously so as she would have been earlier in her life. She still retains certain instabilities, but these are nowhere near as severe as they had been. She still holds a sense of bitterness and hatred for anti-mutant groups and those who mean to wipe out the existence of her people but her sense of vengeance isn’t as great as it was in her reality since her family is still alive in this reality. She still struggles with nightmares of having to hunt down and kill her parents while under the control of Ahab in her reality but spending time with her living family in the current reality helps to quell the guilt that she feels over the things she was forced to do in this reality. She is a free spirited person and tends to be a very determined person. RELATIONSHIPS: Jean Grey-Summers - Alternate Reality Mother - When Rachel came to her current reality she met her mother and father upon arrival and were welcomed into their family with open arms. Rachel and her mother have a very close relationship and Jean even considers Rachel her daughter despite not actually giving birth to her in the current timeline. 

Scott Summers - Alternate Reality Father - Rachel and Scott have a very close and loving bond much like they had in her reality. Scott accepts her as his daughter fully, despite not physically having a hand in her birth in the current timeline, and is very protective of her. He helps her get over what she did in her timeline and is there for her whenever she needs him.

BIO:

Nathaniel Pietro Barton, affectionately known as Nathan and Nate, was born and raised in Angle Inlet, Minnesota on March 2nd 2015 to Clint (Hawkeye) and Laura Barton. He was named after his father’s partner at SHIELD, Natasha, and Pietro Maximoff who sacrificed himself to save Clint in battle during the battle with Ultron. He was homeschooled as a young child, due to living in isolation to stay safe from any enemies his father may have made at work. Due to not having any contact with the outside world, Nathan and his siblings became very close and are very protective of one another. His father and Natasha taught him everything he needed to know about martial arts, archery and marksmanship though his is not quite as skilled as his older brother.

While his siblings never really wanted to have friends outside of their close-knit family, Nathan did. He would often dream of what it would be like to grow up in a normal setting, going to school instead of being homeschooled and meeting new people. He would often ask his parents and Natasha what it was like. When Academy X opened, Nathan was excited and nervous to finally get his wish. He was a very friendly person and made friends easily. Because he had two older siblings he got on better with some of the upperclassmen, making friends with the likes of Henry Pym Jr and Nate Summers.

Nathaniel has never really identified as male or female. He knows that physically he is male but he exhibits both masculine and feminine qualities thus choosing to identify as neither male nor female. He prefers to by identified either by his name or They/Them and feels that gender identity just isn’t that important. Nathan feels that in life it doesn’t matter what your gender is but what you do with your life that matters, whether you identify as male or female.

PERSONALITY:

Nathaniel is a very friendly person with an air of innocence due to him being the baby of the Barton family. He tends to find the positive in everything and likes to find the beauty in everything which often has people commenting that they are somewhat feminine qualities to his personality. He can be very sweet but on the same note, he can be very stubborn at times too when he puts his mind to something refusing not to budge due to an intense sense of determination when set on a particular thought or task. He likes to train with his older brother and father but also likes to have fun, often pulling pranks on his siblings with Pym just to get a rise out of them. He has moments where he can act a bit “girl” and somewhat emotional but at times he can mute his emotions to appear “manly” making him an enigma to some. People consider him to be a bit eccentric in his personality. As far as relationships go, he doesn’t really have a specific type. He likes people in general regardless of gender identity or sexuality, causing him to identify as pansexual.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Clint Barton - Father - Nathan and his father have a very close relationship. Like the rest of his siblings, Clint doesn’t judge Nathan because he identifies himself as non-binary. Nathan likes to train and learn new things from his father and looks up to him.

Cooper and Lila Barton - Older SIblings - Nathan has an extreme close relationship with his siblings due to their time in isolation where they only had each other. Both Cooper and Lila are very protective of Nathan due to the fact that he is the baby and like his older brothers, Nathan is very protective of Lila because of her issues that sometimes leave her vulnerable.

Francis Barton - Alternate Universe Half Brother - Nathan was probably the first person to accept Francis as his older brother from another mother despite being from different universes. He thought he was cool from the get go despite his conceited nature. While Francis didn’t quite know what to make of Nathan at first, he never judged him when he learned he didn’t identify as either male nor female.

NOTABLE FEATURE(S): None

BIO:

Lila Marie Barton was the only girl born to Clint (also known as Hawkeye) and Laura Barton in the small township known as Angle Inlet, Minnesota. She is the middle child of three, four including her alternate reality half brother, and a bit more introverted than her siblings. Rather than training with her father and Natasha growing up she stuck mostly with her mother, learning everything she could from the former school teacher and developed a love for books and the written word. While she didn’t desire to become an agent of SHIELD like her older brother, Cooper, did she still learned how to defend herself from her father and Natasha just not at the same lengths Cooper and her little brother Nathaniel did.

Lila developed a very close relationship to her siblings and family while in isolation and had no desire of meeting new people so when her father enrolled her and her siblings into Academy X, she was out of her element. She pretty much kept her head down until graduation, only interacting with her siblings, parents and Natasha with the exception of Rachel Grey-Summers, James Rogers and Azari T’Challa. She considers them to be her closest, and only, friends. When put in situations where she has to be overly social, Lila tends to freeze and developed a major social anxiety that sometimes leads to panic attacks. Her father believes this stems from growing up so sheltered due to the isolation he put his family in to keep them safe.

After graduating from the Academy, Lila stayed on to work as a Library Assistant and Office Assistant for the school while taking classes online to get a degree in Psychology, hoping to find better ways of coping with her social anxiety so that she can help others in the same predicament she finds herself in.

PERSONALITY:

Lila is very quiet and introverted, only interacting with a select few people. She prefers books to people which is why she spends almost all of her time in the library when she isn’t working in the office sorting files. Lila tends to get anxious in social situations causing her to either freeze or go into a panic attack, though her father and friend James have taught her different techniques to help her cope with this anxiety. For those she does feel comfortable enough to socialize with she is a very sweet and caring person, loyal and compassionate. She would do anything in the world for her family and closest friends.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Azari T’Challa - Close Friend / Crush - Lila met Azari in the library and at first she was afraid to talk to him. After learning a bit about him from James and learning he was trustworthy, Lila befriended the young Wakandan Prince. The closer they got, however, the more she started to see him as more than a friend but never said anything because of her anxiety and the fact she doesn’t want to ruin what they have should he not feel the same.

Clint Barton - Father - Lila and her father share a very close and loving bond. In fact, due to her being the only girl and having social anxiety, Clint is very protective of her as he is all of her other siblings as well. Clint taught her how to defend herself in a fight and how to shoot guns and a bow but wasn’t disappointed in the least that she didn’t want to follow his footsteps into the same professional field.

Natasha Romanoff - Aunt Figure - While Lila was closer with her mother due to their similarities, she was very close to her father’s partner Natasha growing up. In fact Natasha was the first person outside of her family to accept all of her, including her anxiety, and Lila often confides in her about things she can’t talk to her parents or siblings about. She loves Natasha as if she were her true flesh and blood aunt and would do anything for her.

Cooper and Nathaniel Barton - Siblings - Lila has a close relationship to her siblings and is very protective of them, as they are her. She would do anything in the world for them and vice versa. They never judge her for her flaws, instead try to help her cope.

Francis Barton - Alternate Reality Older Half Brother - Lila was a bit intimidated by Francis due to his outspoken and cocky demeanor and Francis couldn’t quite understand Lila at first. Shortly after meeting him, Francis witnessed Lila having a panic attack and helped her through it. He became very protective of her.

NAME: Cooper Anthony  Barton FC: Nick Robinson STATUS AT ACADEMY X: Student - SHIELD Track NICKNAME(S): Coop OTHER NOTABLE ALIAS(ES): None BIRTHDAY: January 19, 2008 AGE: 21 SPECIES: Human ABILITIES: Master Martial Artist, Master Marksman, Master Archer, Master Acrobat, Fluent in ASL, Italian and Russian NOTABLE FEATURE(S): Like his father, Cooper was born deaf but received cochlear implants when he was still a toddler (in which is father decided not to get due to personal preference).

BIO:

Cooper Anthony Barton, known to everyone as Coop, was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota but his family was moved to a farm in a very isolated spot in the minute town of Angle Inlet, Minnesota. His father is an agent of SHIELD and Avenger, Clint Barton better known as Hawkeye, and his mother, Laura, was once a school teacher before they went into isolation. Growing up Cooper always admired his father and his partner, Natasha Romanoff (who he affectionately calls Aunt Nat), because of their work with SHIELD. He enjoyed watching them spar and train with their weapons and he vowed that one day he would follow in their footsteps and join SHIELD. Like his father, Cooper was born deaf but when he was two years old his mother and father opted for him to have the cochlear implant surgery, allowing him to have the ability to hear. Though his father could have followed him, Clint chose not to have the surgery due to personal reasons, having already spent over 30 years deaf and not wanting that much of a drastic change in his routine and only wanting the best for his children.

Growing up mostly in isolation, Cooper didn’t have any friends that weren’t somehow involved with SHIELD. This caused him to become very close and protective of his siblings, Lila and Nathaniel. When Academy X opened it’s doors, Cooper became one of the first students and due to being homeschooled most of his life he was a bit overwhelmed at first. He made top marks in all of his classes, however when it came to social situations he tended to keep mostly to himself, only associating with his siblings, father and Natasha since he didn’t really know how to interact with others his age. He eventually broke out of his shell and though he’s still a bit shy at times, he really enjoys going to all the social functions the academy has to offer. 

Cooper graduated from Academy X with top marks and continued his education at the SHIELD portion of the academy where he is among one of the best in the class due to his extensive training from his father and Natasha before the opening of the academy during their down time. Cooper hopes to one day be as good of an agent as his father, not letting anything stop him from reaching his goals.

PERSONALITY: Cooper is a very determined and intelligent young man who will stop at nothing until he reaches a particular goal. He is very ambitious, knowing what he wants to do with his life. He can be stubborn at times and can be awkward and shy in social situations. Around those he feels comfortable with, he can be fun loving and kind. He is loyal to a fault, willing to do whatever he can for those he cares about. He is very protective over his younger siblings to the point of being overprotective and is a quick learner, making it easy for him to master a craft such as martial arts and weapons training. Cooper lacks interest in sexual and romantic relationships, feeling that romance and sex just aren’t that important to him thus identifying himself as asexual and aromantic.

RELATIONSHIPS: Clint Barton - Father - Cooper and Clint have always been close since they have a lot in common. He admires his father more than anyone in the world and he strives to be as good of a man and agent as him upon graduation. Growing up, his father taught him everything he knows. He would move mountains just to make him proud of him.

Natasha Romanoff - Aunt Figure - Cooper has known Natasha his whole life since she and his father had been partners at SHIELD for many years. Like with his father, Cooper admires Natasha and would often train with her before joining the academy. He thinks of her as an aunt and would literally do anything for her.

Lila and Nathaniel Barton - Siblings - Cooper is very close with is younger siblings. Growing up in isolation all they had was each other so because of this they are closer than most siblings are. Cooper is extremely protective of them to the point of being overprotective and would do anything in the world for them.

BIO:

Francis Barton was born May 5th of an undetermined year as the only child of Hawkeye, Clint Barton, and Mockingbird, Bobby Morse. His mother was killed during a mission when Francis was very young and he has very few memories of her as he spent most of his time with his father growing up. Most of his memories of her are stories told to him by his father and later Betty Ross and Bruce Banner after his father’s death.

When Ultron killed most of the Avengers, Iron Man took their kids and escaped to an isolated location. He believed his teammate, Hawkeye to be dead as well. Unbeknownst to him, Hawkeye had survived along with his son, Francis. Knowing he would not always be there to look out for his son, Hawkeye trained his son in archery and raised him with a group of freedom fighters. After Hawkeye’s death, Francis took over leadership of the rebels as well as the mantle of Hawkeye. During one of his raids on one of Ultron’s compounds, he found the Asgardian Torunn fighting against Ultron’s forces. He rescued her along with her teammates, the Kid Avengers, who he later joined. Although he did not get along well with his male teammates at first, they later put their differences aside and became friends.

Francis developed feelings for Torunn during his time with the Young Avengers that may or may not be reciprocated, it’s unclear because of the close relationship between Torunn and fellow Asgardian, Adam, and the latter’s obvious feelings for the beautiful demigoddess. In the end, however, he is grateful to have her as a friend if nothing else.

Upon  crossing over into another reality, Francis was happy to see his father from his previous reality was still alive in their new one. He was not thrilled to no longer be an only child at first, nor were the other Barton kids thrilled to have a random older brother from an alternate reality show up, but they grew on each other after a while, as did his alternate reality step-mother, Laura. Francis chose to teach alongside his father rather than going back to school alongside his fellow Young Avengers, he teaches Beginner Weapons Training.

PERSONALITY:

He is cocky and a little hesitant to make friends, but he is a team player and a great archer, much like his father. He butts head with James because they are both leader figures, making his relationship with James similar to that of his father and Captain America while they were Avengers. He has a soft spot for Torunn due to his feelings for her and would literally do anything for her and strives to be a good friend to her. Outside of his father, new alternate reality siblings and the Young Avengers from his own reality, he doesn’t really spend time with others. He likes to keep within his circle.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Torunn Thorsdottir- Closest Friend / Crush - Francis has had a soft spot for the demigoddess, Torunn, ever since he met her which eventually developed into romantic feelings. He would literally do anything for her and considers her one of his closest friends. At times, before being transported to their new reality, Francis thought that Torunn felt the same way but upon her meeting and developing a close friendship with fellow Asgardian, Adam, in this reality he isn’t sure what to think. Either way he would sacrifice his own feelings and remain her friend so long as she was happy.

James Rogers- Friend / Rival - Francis and James have never seen eye to eye since the day they met due to the fact that they are both leader figures, much like the relationship between their fathers during their time with the Avengers. Despite being professional rivals, however, Francis considers James to be one of his few friends and like with the others in his small circle, he would do anything to protect him.

Azari T'challa & Henry Pym Jr - Friends - Francis isn’t as close to Azari and Pym as he is the other former Young Avengers but he still considers both young men to be close friends and even like family to him. He would do anything to ensure their safety and vice versa.

Adam Fandralson - Rival - Francis wants to say he hates Adam but that wouldn’t be fair to the older Asgardian as he has done nothing to deserve his hatred other than having feelings and a close relationship with the same beautiful woman he does. Still he considers the former Asgardian Warrior a rival and competition when it comes to winning Torunn’s heart.

Cooper, Lila and Nathaniel Barton - Alternate Reality Siblings- Upon entering his new reality, Francis learned he had three half siblings from his father’s marriage to Laura Barton and was somewhat jealous and bitter about this fact, and vice versa. He wanted to hate them, being cocky and self-entitled when it came to Clint as he was once an only child and gained all of his father’s attention growing up. However, after coming to the realization that they never asked to be randomly told they have an older brother from another reality and being thrown through a loop upon his arrival, he decided to give them a chance and he actually came to like and even care for his younger siblings. He would move Heaven and Hell for them.

NOTABLE FEATURE(S): NONE

BIO:

Jian Hogunson was born in Hong Kong to Genji May and the Asgardian warrior Hogun the Grim. During one of his trips to Midgard, Hogun met Genji and fell in love.  Shortly after Hogun was called back to Asgard, Genji found out she was pregnant with Jian and he was born later that year in October. He was raised in China but saw his father often despite the realm difference, often alternating between visiting Asgard and his father coming to visit him in China.

Jian started learning martial arts at a young age, as is the norm in China and among children of Asgardian Warriors, and became skilled at a young age in many styles of martial arts and melee weapons training. He was taught quite a few Asgardian fighting techniques by his father and fellow Warriors Three during his visits to Asgard. It was there he met Adam, son of Fandral, and they became close friends since they were both sons of Warriors Three members and often trained together.

Shortly after Jian turned 12, his mother was diagnosed with cancer and despite the best efforts of her doctors she succumbed to the disease a year later. He was sent to live with his maternal aunt, Melinda May, who resided there and worked as an agent for SHIELD. He met Director Coulson’s nephew, Desmond, shortly after moving to New York while he was visiting his uncle and they became close friends. In fact, Desmond helped him deal with the death of his mother and the sudden death of his father at the hands of Hela in Asgard a few months after.

Jian spent most of his time living with his aunt learning different skills from her, like how to fly a plane and more advanced hand to hand training. Jian returned to China for two years upon receiving his inheritance at 18 to sell off his childhood home and tie up loose ends left behind after his  mother’s death, he then travelled for a while trying to “find find himself” before returning to New York.

Jian came out as bisexual in his late teens after dating a few girls and coming to the realization that one man always stood out to him. He had a hard time coming to terms with his feelings for Des, not wanting to jeopardize their friendship should the other man not feel the same. It was perhaps his feelings for Des that delayed his return to New York for a time but when he eventually did, he chose to attend classes at Academy X partly to follow in his Aunt’s footsteps in becoming an agent of SHIELD and partly to spend more time with Des. Maybe one day he will get to nerve to tell his friend how he feels, he only hopes that he will not live to regret it.

PERSONALITY:

Jian is a very friendly and outgoing person, often becoming the center of attention due to his eccentric nature. He is very open-minded and free-spirited, often marching to the beat of his own drum. However, he is not one to be messed with as he can have a bit of a short temper and believes in karma always coming back around to bite those who do harm to others. Jian is a very loyal person, willing to do anything for the people he cares about and is a quick learner which enabled him to excel in his training prior to attending the SHIELD program at Academy X. He loves love and often plays matchmaker with his friends. He can also be somewhat of a flirt and can sometimes have a somewhat perverted sense of humor. He enjoys martial arts, piloting jets and dancing as well as the finer things in life. He has a life is too short mentality and can be a bit of an adventurer and adrenaline junkie.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Desmond “Des" Coulson - Close Friend / Romantic Interest - Jian met Des when he moved in with his aunt Melinda and they became close during the times the older man came to visit his uncle. He developed a crush on him over the course of their friendship and worries if he tells him how he feels it will ruin their friendship. He is oblivious to the fact the the feelings are reciprocated.

Cassie Lang - Best Friend - Jian met Cassie on the first day of SHIELD training and they immediately hit it off. He considers her to be one of his closest friends and he was among the first people she told when she came out as a lesbian. He encouraged her to tell her parents and fully accepted her as they two belonged to the LGBTQ community. He would do anything for Cassie and adores her like a sister

Adam Fandralson and Torunn Thorsdottir - Close Friends - Jian immediately hit it off with his fellow Asgardians and thinks of them as extended family. While Jian and Adam had spend time in Asgard (Adam grew up there), Torunn had not so both older Asgardians like telling the young demigoddess stories of their homeland. Jian would do anything in the world for either of them and cares for them deeply.
