Today seemed like any other day in her apartment. Except, something seemed off. Her apartment was never this clean. Eva Barton looked around skeptically. She didn't remember cleaning it recently. Actually, she couldn't remember the past couple of days. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Eva grabbed a weapon and walked to the door, looking through the peep hole. She relaxed when she saw that it was only her brother. While opening the door, her grip on her weapon loosened slightly.

"Clint! I thought that you were going on a mission in Jakarta or someplace exotic like that.." She said, greeting him with a hug. When they pulled away, she noticed his expression. After welcoming him in and putting down her weapon, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Clint looked at her and without missing a beat, he asked, "What do you mean?"

"Clint, in the time that I have been your little sister I have developed the ability to tell when something is either bothering you or wrong." Eva says, crossing her arms with a raised brow.

Her brother sat down on the sofa. 'Oh God, here we go...' He thought before actually speaking. "You should probably sit down." Clint patted the seat next to him as you looked at him in shock.

'Did I just hear his thoughts? Oh My God..' What is happening? She slowly made her way to the couch and sat down, her eyes still wide. What brought her focus back was the feeling of Clint's hand on her leg.

Clint pursed his lips. "Here's the thing. Jakarta.. it ended three weeks ago. From what I understand, you were in some kind of accident. ..S.H.I.E.L.D. knows more about you now than you would probably like..They've been monitoring you. Checking on you."

It was a lot to take in. Her head went down to her hands as she tried to absorb the information she was just given. "So, you're telling me that I was essentially in a coma for three weeks?" She paused and looked up at Clint who had a worried look on his face. "...They know that I can teleport, don't they?" She asked. Clint could only nod in response. "How did they find out?"

"They have security cameras everywhere in their facility, E. You kept disappearing and ending up here. So, instead of having to keep retrieving you, they kept someone here to look after you.." He tried to comfort you a bit with a squeeze of your leg. Are you okay?

Eva wasn't looking at Clint's face when she responded. "Yeah, I actually feel great." She looked up and Clint was looking at her with questioning and shocked eyes.

"Did you just..?" He asks, his eyes widening.
"What?"

"E, I think you just read my mind.." 'They said that something like this might happen.' He thought as he turned more toward his little sister.

Her hands flew up to her mouth when she heard his next thought. "What do you mean? Why can I hear your thoughts?" Eva was starting to freak out.

Clint's brows furrowed. "I think that someone injected you with something that triggered it.. S.H.I.E.L.D said that the effects would most likely be permanent." He paused and looked at her, seeing how well she was doing with all of this new information.

"...Is there anything else. Please don't lie... I'll know." She looked at him and tapped her head twice before putting her hand with her other one in her lap.

"They want you to move to the new Avengers facility in upstate New York.. So, that you can be with other talented people like yourself."

"They want to isolate me from everything I've ever known. That sounds like a brilliant idea." She scoffed, rising from the couch. She couldn't sit anymore, so she paced ending up facing away from Clint.

"This could be a good thing. It could be a fresh start. You were just complaining about how we don't spend a lot of time together. This would change that." He tried to reason.

Eva thought for a moment. She didn't want to leave her perfectly normal life, her friends. "I just want to be normal sometimes, ya know?"

"I know, Evee. Though, sometimes normal can be vastly over-rated.." He looked up at her with soft eyes. "Will you at least give it a try? For me?"

Eva was reluctant to say the least. She thought about it for a couple of minutes. A fresh start sounded nice.. And maybe she could learn how to control her new ability. "Fine, but if it doesn't work out I'm leaving. And you have to promise that you won't stop me." She said the last part as she turned to face him.

Clint pursed his lips. "I promise, but you have to give it an honest chance." He said.

"I promise too. How long do I have to get packed?" She asked, running her fingers through her burgundy dyed hair.

"Some of your stuff might already be there. They prepared for the possibility of you saying yes, but we can leave whenever you're ready. Somebody can be by to pick up whatever you need that we can't take now. It's all been taken care of."

Eva nodded and started packing. S.H.I.E.L.D. had done a pretty thorough job. She only had to pack a few essentials. Clint carried some of the heavier things to the vehicle. After about 45 minutes, she was standing in her doorway looking at her place. This would be the last time she'd be here for a while. She just hoped that this new adventure would be worth it. With that thought in mind, she closed the door behind her and locked it. She ran her fingers through her hair as she joined Clint in the car for the journey to the new Avengers facility.

[[TWO HOURS LATER]]

It was close to sunset when they both arrived at the facility. Eva took a deep breath. 'Everything's going to be fine.' She heard Clint think and then nodded at him as they got out of the car. Eva self-consciously fixed her outfit. 'Ready?' Clint thought. 'We can come back for everything.' She nodded and followed Clint to the door. He put in a pin and did a scan before the door made a very noticeable locking sound. Her eyebrows rose as they walked through the threshold. "Hello Mr. Barton and guest." A slightly mechanical voice said.

"Hello F.R.I.D.A.Y." Clint said simply as he lead Eva to the elevators.
"Who's friday?" She asked as the doors closed.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y. is an artificial intelligence system that Tony created to replace the former one."

Eva looked slightly confused. "What happened to the former one?"

"It's kind of a long story, I'll tell you later." He paused. The elevator was almost to the main living space. "I don't know who's here, but you should be able to meet a good part of the team in a minute or two."

"I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't nervous. You guys are kind of famous." She said, biting her lip.

"You don't get nervous around me." He said, feigning hurt.

"I'm related to you, that's different." She smirked.

The doors opened then and the pair stepped into the main living area where there were a few members of the famous team. A familiar redhead turned when she heard the elevator ding. Eva and Natasha had met on accident a couple of years ago thanks to Clint. Eva came home early and found Natasha living there as a cover for a mission. Natasha's face lit up when she saw them. "Eva! Clint! We've been waiting for you." She smiles as she rises from the couch. A couple of the other Avengers turned their heads to see what was going on.

"Natasha! It's great to see you again." Eva said with a genuine smile. At least she knew more than one person on the team, that made her feel better.

"Likewise, how are you feeling?" She questions.

"I feel fine, why do you ask?" Eva's eyebrow quirks up.

"Well, Clint told me what happened and I wanted to make sure that you were okay. Clint's been pretty worried, but I told him that you're a fighter." She told Eva with a smile.

"That I can be sometimes. ..Anyways, I'm excited to be here." Eva tried to change the conversation. She wondered if they knew what she could do, or if S.H.I.E.L.D was just going to let that be a nice little surprise later on.

"Right, you need to meet the team. Thor and Hulk are out.." She said delicately before continuing. "But, this is Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, James Rhodes, Sam Wilson, Vision, and the twins Wanda and Pietro Maximoff." Everyone waved as their name was said.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all formally. I'm Eva Barton." She introduced with a shy smile.

Steve looked slightly confused as Tony spoke up. "You have a sister?"

"Yes, and she's going to be living here for a while. I've already cleared it with Fury." He told Tony firmly before turning to his sister. "Do you need help with your stuff?" Eva only nodded in response.

The younger well built Avenger with silver-ish white hair, who Eva remembered was named Pietro, stood up and dashed over to them. "I can help too if you would like." It took a couple seconds before her shock faded at seeing how fast he came over to them.

"That would be great. Thanks." She smiled and they got into the elevator.

"I'd watch Speedy if I were you." Tony told Clint.
"My brother can be quite charming when he wants to be." Wanda added, not looking up from the book she was reading.

"Duly noted." He sighed and caught the next elevator.

[[THIRTY MINUTES LATER]]

Finally the last of Eva's things were in her new room. The room was actually fairly spacious, she just felt like she needed to make it more her own. She thanked Clint and Pietro for their help. Pietro smiled and nodded before leaving. Heat rose to Eva's face. Clint had stayed behind to help you unpack. She looked around her room and started unpacking boxes. The room was fairly spacious with neutral walls, a black dresser with a television on top of it, a bookcase in the corner, a desk and chair, a queen sized bed, black nightstands, and what Eva hoped to be a spacious closet. 'No.' Eva's eyes widened in confusion and looked at her brother. She couldn't tell if he had said it out loud but she had the feeling that he hadn't.

"No what?" She asked, pulling twinkle lights out of the box.

"You know what." He said, unpacking a box of books and putting them on the dresser nearby.
"I'm sure it's nothing, Clint. You don't have anything to worry about. He was just being nice." She said with certainty. She hung the twinkle lights over her new bed. The room was starting to feel more cozy already.

"I'm sure you're right. I just don't want you to get hurt Evee." He emptied the last book onto the dresser and checked all of the other boxes. They looked like stuff that she could easily handle. "I will leave you alone to pack and get used to your new environment."

Eva smiled and hopped off of the bed, hugging her brother. "Thank you Clint."

"You're welcome Eva. I hope that you grow to like it here." He told her, tightening his hold for a moment before letting go and walking to the door.

"I hope so too.. I'll see you at breakfast in the morning." She smiled.

"Sounds good. Try not to stay up too late, training starts at 6." He smirked and closed the door behind him.

Eva grimmaced. She was never a morning person, almost everyone knew that. She guessed that a few more people were about to found out. Eva stayed up for easily another hour organizing her books before she finally fell asleep in this place that she called her new home.
