Chapter 2: Introductions & Explanations
Disclaimer: I own nothing…..
Thank you to Dixie 326, kJennyf, and writerchick786 for the reviews and suggestions. In the 3 hours that I was in the defensive driving course I was sorta planning the story out and to answer questions: Nope this is starting before episode 10 of season 2 before Skye gets her powers and when she does I might keep them like low key at first "might". Secondly the very short term poll I took out is leaning towards Ward being bad and well who doesn't like a protective Steve ;). And lastly for now I am keeping the lemon out of this fic and will post it separately when the time comes. So here comes Chapter 2!
*Line Break*
About 15 minutes later the sound of the elevator door opening caused the Avengers to simultaneously whip their heads towards the elevator. Walking out of the elevator came Coulson, an Chinese (I believe that is what May is) woman, two African American men, one tall and buff looking one and one shorter and slimmer, a younger looking couple that were talking about some experiment, the girl with an English accent and the boy with a Scottish accent, two other people who looked like a couple with how close they were standing to each other, the brunette man, slightly shorter than the tall blonde.
Then finally she came walking into the room. Steve couldn't take her eyes off of her, she was stunning even in casual clothing. She looked around the room and then finally at him where they just gazed at each other for a minute before loud and congratulatory remarks were pronounced to Coulson for staying tough and alive, she looked away blushing. Only then did Steve go over to Coulson to start a conversation with his biggest fan.
"So you have to tell us what happened and why you didn't reach out to us," Stark said while breaking out the liquor.
"Well first I believe that proper introductions are needed so you get to know my team, Coulson stated while turning down the drink Stark was trying to push into his hand.
Coulson pointed over to the Chinese woman, "That is Agent May our pilot for the bus."
Clint's eyes widened, "You got the Cal-"
"Don't call me that!" said May as she glared daggers at Clint who the proceeded to hide behind Natasha.
"Hello May," Natasha said smiling to May who smiled back and then proceeded to go back to glaring at Clint.
Coulson went down the line introducing his team, Mack, Trip, FitzSimmons, Bobbi, Hunter, and finally the one Steve could not stop staring at, Skye. However, Stark then proceeded to ruin the moment by going up to her and arguing over hacking and his servers being the best ever.
"Obviously not if I could hack into them from my cheap laptop," Skye said to Tony that looked at her in shock.
"You hacked the system I built from a cheap laptop!?"
"Yup and it only took about 5 minutes."
Before the argument escalated further, the boy Fitz and the girl Simmons also commonly known as FitzSimmons as Steve was told, decided to bust into the conversation and convince Tony to show him his new toys. In which case Tony agreed very excitedly after exchanging sentences with words Steve did not understand because no one in the tower really ever appreciated his work, not even Bruce. Bruce had dismissed himself a little earlier during the argument between Tony and Skye because he felt the big guy coming on with the tension between the two. Conversations started to arise between the Avengers and agents, however Skye was effectively dodging Steve and he didn't know why.
His thoughts didn't last long when Coulson came in the middle of the group and told the agents to go get their bags from the bus (Cause let's just say that when fixing the tower, Tony made the roof a bit bigger) and then sat down when they boarded the elevator and JARVIS relayed the order down to where Tony was showing FitzSimmons his inventions. A couple minutes later Coulson found himself under the watchful eye of the Avengers (minus Thor cause I am leaving him on Asgard for right now and Bruce who went to his room) waiting for an explanation.
"So like I said before I did die for a couple of days." Coulson started before being interrupted by the multiple voices asking questions.
"Please let me just say what I want to say and then you can ask questions," Coulson said to the Avengers before preceding to tell them everything except for the side effects of the alien substance. To say that the Avengers were stunned was an understatement, even Natasha and Clint were stunned to learn about the facility and the other people who were injected and treated with the substance. However, at the end of the story Coulson said something that made Steve's head fly up.
"The girl Skye, she was also injected," Coulson said while looking down.
Steve had a mix of emotions flooding through him since he was told that it was really only used on people who were dying. "What happened to her?" Steve asked with shock, anger and sadness in his voice which Natasha picked up on, along with the stares that were shared before.
"That is for her to explain not me. But it was pretty traumatizing for her, and I don't think she will ever talk about it to anyone." Coulson said with a sad look in his eyes.
Just then the elevator door dinged and opened to reveal said girl and gang. "Hey DC where are we bunking?"
Tony spoke before Coulson could "I reserved you each your half floor since the tower is so large I split each floor into two living areas. (Don't you think and entire floor since I expanded the roof making the entire structure bigger be a little too much for one person….unless you brought a guest over ;) ok sorry getting off track).
"Hey Capsicle, Widow, mind showing the team to their rooms?"
Steve looked up at Skye and said "It would be my pleasure."
Ok Chapter 2 done! Let me know if you like it and if you don't like it when authors do author notes instead of chapters don't worry I won't do that unless absolutely necessary. And just to inform you, when I go on breaks and weekends I don't have firefighter one or lots of reading I will try to write and update but I will especially do it once I am done for the semester! I also have other stories I want to write like and Avengers and Agent Carter crossover cause no one has done that yet. So thank you for reading I will try to make the chapters longer from now on.
Next Chapter: Room Tour, Natasha confronts Steve about the staring, and Steve and Skye (anyone got a ship name for them cause I don't want to call them Stye cause it sounds like that thing where you get a cut on the inside of you eyelid and then it blows up cause dirt gets in it-had too many of those thanks contacts-but what about Skeve?)
Love you all!
