Five Times Faiza Hussain Meets a Superhero by Muccamukk (PG)
hi, I'm d and this is my first turn at the Marvel U wheel. (The Marvel U van is really a candy-coloured flying car, I imagine. With rocket boosters. Anyhow.) No theme for this month, but I will attempt to stay away from Iron Man movieverse and the X-Men, which other people are covering so well. Enjoy!
Fandom: MARVEL COMICS
Pairing: none (Faiza Hussain)
Length: approx. 3000 words

Why this must be read:
Faiza Hussain is a character who appears in a new book called Captain Britain and MI:13, which you're probably not reading, but I'd reccomend it. Faiza is a London doctor and she wields the Excalibur sword, so she's on the unique side for comics and pretty cool. One of the things that makes her cool is that she's a total Captain Britain fangirl who has been thrust into superheroing by her newly discovered powers and the Skrull invasion. (Skrulls. Shapeshifting aliens. Tried to take over Earth last year. Now you're caught up.) The comic does a good job weaving all those things that make up her character, and this fic captures that, and what's awesome about her, pretty well. It's five times that Faiza, ultimate fangirl, met a superhero, always as practical and independent as she is in the present day. Lovely characterisation and fun moments.
"I'm a doctor too, actually," he tells her, "Though not a useful kind like you." He smiles disarmingly at her, and she kind of forgets how nervous she is. He takes a sip out of his own flute before nodding his head to the American across the room and saying, "Someday, some descent English manners are going to rub off on Whitman, and he'll realise that 'This is Faiza. She's one of us now.' does not a proper introduction make."
"Dane's okay," she says, trying not to sound defensive. "I know some people anyway, you know from... magazines and... stuff...." She trails off, deciding not to mention her childhood toys, or wallpaper, or bed sheets.
