Chapter 1-Uncovered Talent
Everyone is someone on the Avengers, everyone has a life not counting the Avengers. Bruce who is Hulk (though really it's a two people one body thing) is a scientist. Tony Stark who is Iron Man is a lot, like someone smart who knows they're smart and rubs it in people's face, and is rich, really rich. Thor who's Thor is a prince and an alien. Natasha who's Black Widow works with SHIELD along with Clint or Hawkeye. All of them have a life except Steve Rogers aka Caption America. All he has is the Avengers because he hasn't been able to have much else. He has limited knowledge on this America. The new one. Not the old one. This one. But that's about to change. He's about to get a chance to be Steve Rogers and not Caption America.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Steve shoots up and turns off the alarm. Before it got to loud. He stands up and starts to get. He takes a quick shower, brushes his teeth and hair, and puts on running shoes and shorts and a t-shirt.
He goes down the stairs jogging and starts his jog to Stark's Tower well the Avenger's Tower. (No one knows about his apartment or well where it is.) He gets there and goes to the gym and starts to work out. Half an hour doing pull ups and push up. And half an hour punching bags and mostly breaking them. After all that it's 6:30 he changes into jeans and a plaid shirt and he goes up to the kitchen and makes breakfast. Coffee for Tony, Clint and Natasha , tea for Bruce, milk for Thor (to go with the pop-tarts) and an energy drink for himself. He also makes a skillet breakfast, hash browns, eggs, sausage, and cheese. By the time he sits everything out Natasha comes in fully dressed and sits down to eat slightly sweaty from working out.
"Where's Bruce?" Steve asks, "Usually he's here by now."
"He's in the lab." Natasha replies.
"Tony?"
"Passed out."
"Again?"
"Pepper's out of town, and I think JARVIS actually knocked him out with gas to get him to sleep."
"Wow."
"Yeah, JARVIS may force him to sleep all day."
"Ha," Steve gives a short laugh, "That's actually probably for the best."
"So that he won't find out that you have your own apartment and just change into clothes here."
"What do you mean? Also no, he needs to sleep."
"Oh don't play innocent with me I know you do it, I don't know where you live though."
"Well, I still say I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I'll tell Tony."
"You have nothing to tell." They have a slight glare match till Bruce and Tony come in the lab both looking at least somewhat rested.
"How in the world are you awake!" Natasha shouts at Tony
"Oh, Bruce saw me and gave me something to wake up." Tony says in a duhvoice.
"You did what?!" Natasha screams at Bruce.
"Okay, okay, in my defense I didn't know I wasn't suppose to." Bruce says holding his hands up to show surrender.
"Ugh, what is it with all the noise can't someone get some sleep here." Clint says slightly grumpy and rubbing his eyes.
"Good Morning my Shield Brothers and Sister!" booms Thor somehow wide awake and grinning.
"How can anyone sane want to up this early?" Clint asks.
"At least you didn't have to get up early in the morning to get here so we won't know you sleep somewhere else like some super soldiers I know." Natasha smoothly states.
"Wait, wait Cap doesn't live here he just visits for a full day everyday than goes back home?!" Tony asks in a type of horror only he can have. "Wait that doesn't make sense."
"Yes," she says smirking at Steve.
"But, but how could you?!" Tony cries glaring at Steve.
"Who do you believe me or Natasha?" Steve asks knowing this will get him out of trouble.
"You." Tony says relived.
"No fare." Natasha hisses.
"Hey, your the one who cries wolf regularly." Steve says.
"I'll get you back." Natasha warns. Steve simply shrugs he keeps eating his food and is almost done by the time the rest start theirs. He waits a bit and sees them inhale their food inhumanly to fast to be healthy. They all finish and he grabs the dishes and washes them and puts them up. He returns to find them in the living room with a smirk plastered on Natasha's face. Warily he sits down.
"Hey guys do want to something about Cap?" Natasha adds. They nod their heads.
There's not much she knows about him that the others don't know. In fact there's only one thing and she wouldn't...
"Did you know that Cap's an artist and he's never been collage?" She would. Stunned silence covers the room like a thick blanket. But then Tony got that look in his eye that told Steve that he had no hope to go against him and his crazy.
"Oh really, well I would love to see his drawings." Tony says in a way that tells Steve he knows what Natasha said earlier was true. And when he starts to protest Natasha sets him a glare that says 'don't you dare resist this at all or it won't be pretty." He and goes upstairs to grab his drawing journal thankful he left it here. He comes back down and reluctantly hands it to Tony. He sits back down uncomfortable and filled with doubt on his talents. Tony flips through the pages humming here or there shocked,the way Natasha was talking made it sound like his pictures were about as bad as a average three years old. But these were good no amazing. One of them was the Iron Man in the background looking like a shadow and him (Tony) in the front leaning on a table and pointing with a wrench at nothing but there was a smirk on his face and a smile in his eyes. The next one had the Hulk full rage with a calm Bruce working in front of the other guy. And so many other all in great detail. He looks over to see Natasha peering at the journal a look of shock on her face which means she didn't know it was this good either. Which means she must of got the poor, poor, poor, opinion of the pictures from someone else and the only person is Steve. Well this is a problem. A big one.
"Hey Steve, could you go away for a bit. So that we can talk about what to do?" Tony asks. Steve looking confused he's about to say no when Natasha shoots him a look and he leaves...fast.
"Okay, would you two like to tell me why we just made Captain America split." Clint asks as soon as Steve is gone.
"Well my fine Katniss, it turns out that Capcicle is an artist and he doesn't know he's great."
"So, why does that matter?" Clint says.
"Because of this." He passes the journal around and lets all of them see it.
"Okay," Bruce says after they all looked, "Maybe he's just shy about being an artist I mean that's not a bad thing."
"But he said he was bad." Tony snaps back not liking that Steve sold himself short.
"Some artists just aren't comfortable with taking about their artwork."
"Well I still say he goes to collage."
"Does he want to go Tony you can't just force him to go."
"Yes I can Bruce and besides, this way he'll interact with other people."
"Well I guess."
"Great, Cap can you get down here." Tony shouts up.
"Yes." Steve says as he comes to sit down.
"Great news," Tony says, "We have all decided that you're going to collage."
"I am?" Steve says in shock.
"Yeah, now lets celebrate."
