== Transcript ==
* Jessica: (VO) Have you ever felt at the top of the world? Like nobody can stop you and you know that? That's exactly how I felt a long time ago when I was known as Jewel.
It cuts to the past as Jewel is fighting Stilt-Man.
* Jewel: Ah Stilt-Man, it's about time your crime spree tripped.
* Stilt-Man: Oh you think you are so funny?!
He attacks her as Jewel fights back.
* Jessica: (VO) I was basically the female Spider-Man. I made stupid quips and arrested the criminals.
Jewel has defeated Stilt-Man.
* Jewel: I suppose beating me was too high of an expectation. Heh. Too high.
* Jessica: (VO) I had no care in the world. I guess that is why I fell so easily...
It cuts to Jewel signing autographs as suddenly a person comes screaming.
* Man: Help! Someone is robbing a bank!
* Jewel: No worries! I'll save the day!
* Jessica: (VO) That was the biggest mistake I ever made...
Jewel runs into the bank as the Purple Man is controlling the bank tellers to give him money. Jewel notices this.
* Jewel: Are you controlling their minds?
* Purple Man: Yes I am.
* Jewel: It's time to give you a piece of my mind!
* Jessica: (VO) That's when everything changed...
Jewel heads to attack him as Purple Man turns at her as she puts down her fists.
* Purple Man: Do you really want to do this?
* Jewel: Of course not...
* Purple Man: Good. Now help load the money.
She does.
* Jessica: (VO) My memory is still hazy about what happened for those three years I have been controlled. However I do remember some things. He did things to me.
Shows blurred images of sex and abuse.
* Jessica: (VO) He abused me and raped me. And I was helpless. I could do nothing to stop it. I was literally his fucking sex toy. I still remember the day I got freed from his control...
It shows Purple Man fighting the Avengers with Jewel helping him as suddenly Hulk knocks out Purple Man as Jewel regains her consciousness.
* Jewel: What happened?
* Wasp: You were helping this man fight us!
* Jewel: I did what? I-I'm a hero...
* Wasp: You certainly weren't acting like one!
* Ant-Man: Janet! Enough! One of Purple Man's powers is mind control!
* Iron Man: Which if he has constant surveillance over, the intended victim could be controlled for a long time.
* Captain America: Tell me, what is the last thing you remember?
* Jewel: I remembered answering a distress call and going to the bank. Then my memory blanked. I can't remember anything else... why did I let this happen?
* Ant-Man: It's not your fault.
* Jewel: It was! I was brash and egotistical and that nut job controlled me for I don't know how long! I was defenseless! If this Purple Man never decided to fight you guys, I would still be his mindless slave!
* Ant-Man: Come with us. We can help you.
* Jewel: No! I never want to wear this mask again!
She rips off the mask and throws it at Ant-Man as she leaves.
* Jessica: (VO) So I formed Alias Investigations. Since I never wanted to wear a suit again.
It cuts to her talking to Thor in her house.
* Jessica: So I told you my life story. Now tell me, why do you want me as an Avenge?
* Thor: I respected your choice to quit being a hero since that incident. I realized I need a street hero and you are the first one I suggested. Because you are not a traditional hero and I won't force that on you. Exactly that's what convinced Janet to accept since she had one of the says on who I get on my team.
Cuts to a flashback as Thor is showing his idea for the team to Iron Man, Captain America, Wasp and Hulk.
* Janet: You want the former sidekick of Purple Man on your team?!
* Thor: She is not evil in any way.
* Janet: Then why the fuck did she attack us those years ago!?
* Tony: She had no control of herself!
* Banner: Tony's right you know.
* Steve: If she was loyal to Purple Man we would have seen her with him after he was knocked out. She wasn't. She quit being a hero because she didn't want anything like that to happen to her again.
* Thor: She's a lot like you Janet. But in a much harder place. Give her a chance.
* Janet: Fine. But I swear if Hank convinces you to accept him, I'd have enough of redeemed villains.
Cuts back to Thor and Jessica.
* Thor: I know how you don't want anything like what Purple Man did to you but I swear to Odin, I will never let anything like that happen to you. 
* Jessica: Do I have to wear that Jewel costume again?
* Thor: Of course not. I want all of my teammates to be comfortable. So you can just help us fight athiest bug aliens or a corrupted celestial named Zhgreb.
* Jessica: Those are very specific examples.
* Thor: Just the first things I though of. So are you in?
* Jessica: Deal.
They shake.
* Thor: Welcome to the Avengers, Jessica.
