Okay, first fanfic guys please be gentle when/if you review. Constructive criticism is aloud but outright insults can be taken elsewhere.
"do you trust me".
"okay..." Layla replied to Tony. In reality she didn't. she'd only met the guy a few times, even though she' worked in his tower, well the avengers tower for years. The few times she'd met him he seemed nice, nearly everyone loved him all the other girls she worked with were obsessed, but then she wasn't other girls was she.
Layla worked as a cleaner in the Avengers tower, she had for years, since she was 18, she was 22 now. The job paid well enough especially with all the mess she had to clean up after Tony and Bruce's experiments in the lab, no one else could deal with it, probably to scared of the 'Hulk', Bruce was a really great guy if you got to know him but people didn't want to know him, to them he was a 'freak', to her he was a friend and she hoped he felt the same way.
They were all really nice people the avengers if you got to know them. She knew a lot about them but she was just a cleaner, none of them knew her, if they talked to her they forgot, or just didn't hear or see her. but then no one did, so she couldn't blame them.
In reality she was over qualified to just be a cleaner but that's not what it felt like to her she felt stupid, that's what everyone told her and if you were told something often enough, you believed it. Layla was taken by the red room when she was 2 years old, they found out she was a genus, she could hack and create computers by this age, much like Tony. As she grew up she realised what they were making her do was wrong, killing relatively innocent people or causing deaths for the organisations benefit. She tried refusing her but they physically and mentally tortured her, but she was better, she killed the guards and escaped at the age of 12 with the skills they taught her.
She had moved around a lot at first scared they would find her but when she moved to New York she found people she felt were family, an elderly couple that took a 14 year old homeless girl off the street and gave her food and shelter and put her through school (even though she didn't need it). When Elein got ill after John had died she went to work at stark tower before it became the Avengers tower to pay for the medical bills as no one else could, when Elein sadly passed away she found the house had been left in her name and that's how she started her life. Determined to never go back to the person she was before.
Tony grabbed her hand and dragged her over to the smashed window, he jumped and dragged her with him. She started screaming she was falling to her death because the stupid man had created a new suit and wanted to try it out. The next thing she knew metal flew towards her face and surrounded the rest of her, it was a new iron man suit, a female-ish one. Tony had a new one on too. The suit flew automatically to the platform that she had practically been thrown off.
the suits face plates opened and she screamed at him " what the fuck is wrong with you, why do that, you idiotic fool what if that didn't work. You could have at least given me a heads up you ass hole!". Tony stood there with that smug smile and said "well it wouldn't have been fun if I did that. And if you must know what I was doing I was testing a protective suit out, your the same size as Pepper and Natasha so I thought id try it out on you, and guess what it works, now if anything happens like the mandarin attack or another surprise attack like ultron we'll be prepared. Plus Tasha or pepper would have killed me if I tested it on them" Layla went red with anger and screamed "get this fucking heap of metal off me! now!" as the suit unwrapped its self from her frame Tony stepped out of his, she continued screaming "so you knew this might now of worked and you risked my life!" to which Tony replied "no I was there I would have caught you". she got even angrier "you are an idiot Tony stark!" he replied "no I'm a genus"smugly. She went deadly quiet and punched him in the face, as he fell on the floor in shock holding his nose, she spun round noticing the other avengers at the door, she went red for another reason and stormed off crying.
Bruce stood there smirking until he realised she was crying and then became angry. He looked at Tony and the rest of avengers, Steve offered to go check if she was okay but Bruce felt strangely protective and said he'd do it to get away from Tony because the sight of him was making him angry.
Bruce walked out of the room and couldn't see Layla, he heard quiet crying after he stood there in silence for a while. he followed the sound and found her sitting in the corner collecting herself. He went and sat next to her and waited for to be ready to talk the sound of her crying made the other guy restless which was strange. She sat there in silence for a while before saying "I'm sorry I over reacted, but i felt so exposed, I've never been so out of control like that." Bruce turned and said "you shouldn't be sorry, he deserved putting in his place, if you didn't do it one of us may have punched him in the face" she laughed. He continued after a while "believe it or not I feel out of control and exposed even as the other guy, even though I'm not. We as 'the worlds greatest heroes' get scared and feel as though we aren't in control, were all human and that is one of the things that makes us human. If your not scared in a situation like that, that's when you worry." They sat there in silence for a while, Bruce was contemplating how he got so close to the quiet girl and when they became such close friends and was wondering weather she thought of him as a friend or a freak, but she wasn't trying to get away like others, or looking scared or disgusted or like she was judging him and his every move like he would become the other guy and hurt her an second...but then she had every right to if she did... but she wasn't.
Layla broke the silence by standing and holding her hand out to help him up she said "I better get back to work, and you Dr Bruce Banner better go check on the others". Bruce took the offered hand and pulled him self up,"you don't need to do that go home I'll clean p the mess, you've had a long day, go home and rest, you're working early and late tomorrow because of one of these fund raisers remember?", "oh yeah, thanks Bruce, you're a good friend, thanks for the talk. Drinks on me tomorrow since I am serving them. I'll be make sure to find you for a dance." Bruce smiled "okay, I'll walk you downstairs". They both realised they were still holding hands and quickly let go embarrassed "yeah I better go and apologise anyway" Layla broke the silence.
They walked to the elevator after asking J.A.R.V.I.S where the others where, changing the subject. They rode down in comfortable silence ready to confront Tony and see the others.
The end,
Like I said this is my first fanfiction. Please review if you could like me to continue this story, I have ideas and would like to continue but if no on asks me to continue I will come to the conclusion that no one would like me to.
See you next time. Possibly.
