I don't know why I came here, I don't know if I should trust anything, let alone anyone. My walls are up and I can't let them fall. Not now, not this time.

Amelia had been in the Avengers mansion for only two hours, and they already want her to be their guinea pig. The first person she met was Black Widow, Amelia was quick to judge at the look off Widow's cat suit and flaming red hair. As soon as Black Widow smiled and introduced herself as Natasha, she felt more at peace with the new stranger.

"So, has Fury given you a run-down on this place?" Natasha asked.

"No, I was leaving it to you." Fury interrupted, quickly leaving the scene, not wanting to give a chance for Natasha to protest. The mansion was divided into four different quarters. Natasha showed everywhere, including the garden shed in case she felt like indulging in her green thumb. As soon as they walked into the laboratory, they could smell something burning. A dirty looking man popped up from behind a counter, covered in ash.

"What happened this time?" Asked Natasha with a heavy sigh.

"That 'new assistant' decided to raid the store room and see what kind of smoke signals he could make." A young boy stepped out from behind the store room door with a sheepish look on his face. He made a quick move to find a broom once the man glared at him. The man straightened himself and looked at Amelia.

"I do believe I am being very rude," he put out his hand, "Bruce Banner. I believe you are the fabulous Amelia with the significant mind". She blushed at that comment and shook his hand. "This," Bruce said, pointing at his assistant, "Is Anderson. Don't bother trying to talk to him, he's completely useless when it comes to paying attention."

Amelia looked into Bruce's eyes and saw a flicker of green which vanished as fast as it appeared. "Are you the only ones that make up this... Avengers team?" She felt like she was asking a stupid question.

"No, there are others, they're away at the moment on a project in China." Said Bruce. The way he said it was so relaxed and simple, like it was an everyday thing to go to the other side of the world. Amelia guessed she would have to get use to the fact that her life wasn't going to be so pointless anymore.

"So is it all right if maybe... Um I do some tests?" asked Banner avoiding Natasha's glare.

...

"I still don't understand why we have to do this now, she's only been here an hour." Grumbled Natasha from her spot in the lab.

"There's no time like the present," replied Banner. He looked over at Amelia, "Are you alright to do this now, it's just… I want to see what your brain-waves look like when you spilt the atoms." She simply nodded, not quite sure how else to respond. She had four monitor pads, three on her head and one over her heart, linked up to the computer Banner was at.

"Okay, now, when Tasha throws up the chair, I want you to just hold it in the air." Instructed Bruce from behind the computer screen. At that moment Natasha nodded at Amelia and threw the chair up into the air. Amelia mentally grabbed the chair and she watched as in hovered in the air. Even she was mesmerised by the scene.

"Great that's really good. Now show us what you can do." He asked curiously. She took the chair apart down to its screws. She saw the surprise on their faces causing her to smile. She never really thought herself as special. She thought she would really make them jump with her next move, the chair shattered in to millions of pieces. Then she continued to refine it to dust. Still holding it in the air, she forced them all into each other, recreating the chair as if it had never been destroyed.

"Would you look at that" said Bruce from behind his screen. "Your brain waves, it's like you are just simply dreaming."

The chair slowly fell back to the ground. A small headache had formed at the back of her head. But nothing she couldn't handle. There was an applause behind her. Her cheeks brightened when she saw there were three other people watching her, but that wasn't the thing that made her blush. It was one man in particular. He was tall, with short ruffled hair. His face was stern, but with friendly eyes. He smiled at her sweetly. She noticed her mouth was hanging open and she was still staring at him. When she finally managed to pull her gaze from him, she noticed that there was two others standing beside him. The tallest one walked over to her.

"Greetings Amelia, I am Thor, God of thunder and king of Asguard".His voice boomed through the whole lab. He took her hand in his, and kissed the top. She smiled at that, no one had ever been that pleased to meet her and so polite. The second man came towards her.

"Hi there, I am Steve, welcome to the Avengers". Instead of shaking her hand he hugged her. She was quite surprised how friendly these people were with strangers. That thought was pushed aside once she realised how big his muscles were. The books and old paper articles that she had read over the years, had said the serum had made him strong and bigger, but it never hit her until his arms were wrapped around her small frame. He released her and she noticed he was frowning at her face.

"Bruce, I still don't understand what these things do." he said looking at the pads stuck to her head. But that was all she heard because the only man left in the room to introduce himself was standing in front of her. He was smiling at her his whole face looked like he had seen so many bad days but in his eyes, Amelia could see something behind it all, something that made her feel warm inside, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Hi, I'm Clint. Amelia, right?" He asked although it was not really a question, more of a conversation starter, he shook her hand. "Sorry we weren't here before to meet you. I'm sorry but, may I?" He didn't wait for her reply. His hand came level with her face, he pulled the pads off of her temples and the top of her neck. She realised that she was forgetting to breathe. He seemed like someone that hid his emotions and this was a rare occasion that he would relax. Amelia realised that they had something in common.

"Thank you." was all she managed to say. He smiled again and left the room.

…

The rest of the day flew past quickly, Amelia sat on her bed, her room was small and confined, just the way she liked it. Natasha had just left; she had spent over an hour telling her of past missions of the team and herself. They spoke of tony stark although Amelia knew a lot already from the news. He was just like she thought he was. Genius, billionaire, playboy and industrialist with his head stuck up his ass, well that is how Natasha described him. She was yet to meet him as he was still in china speaking to there so called fearless leaders, and there control on their nuclear experiments.

….

The sun was streaming through the window hitting Amelia's face. She slowly opened far eyes. Realising there was no more chance of sleep after the repeating nightmares of her father. She sat up and saw that she was laying on the far end of the bed instead of at the top, she had moved in her sleep again, something that she was use to by now. The Rolling of the bed, her bear feet touched the floor. It was a cold morning, realising she was only in her underwear. She pulled open the doors of her closet while still sitting on the bed. She smiled as she brought out a pair of trackies and a loose t- shirt. The halls of the house were empty but she could hear the mumbling and the sound of a toaster. She entered the kitchen to find Steve, Fury, Clint and Natasha eating breakfast. Clint was the first to see her, he smiled and nodded a hello. Giving her butterflies, Natasha saw the look she had on her face and winked before saying

"Morning, sleep well?

Before she could reply a siren went off with explosion, which made the room shake. They all leapt to their feet, knocking over chairs and breaking plates. Before they could walk out the room iron man walked into the room with his helmet off to reveal a very tired looking stark

"Ever heard of the front door?" asked Steve. A gun came around the corner and was aimed at the back of Starks head.

"Yes, but coming through the roof is a much better entrance, besides I wanted the element of surprise" said a man as he came through the door way, still holding stark at gun point.

"Obadiah Stane", said Fury. "Back from the dead are we?". An evil smile spread across his face, sending chills down Amelia's spine.
