The team was huddled around a conference table. No one saying anything. Looks of confusion expressed on all faces. They knew why they were there. To debrief. To figure out what was going on. Which no one could say for certain. They could only speculate.

"I believe she is a Kemetic God." Thor spoke to the room. Several pairs of eyes flickered in his direction.

"So you mean to tell me there are more Gods than just the Norse Gods?" Sam asked.

Thor nodded his head.

"There are many different types of Gods. However, I don't believe I know her name."

"Auset." Bucky mumbled but they had heard him. Tony rolled his eyes.

"Right, Frosty here did mention that he knows her. So what does she like huh? Long walks on the beach? Romantic dinners by candlelight. Horseback-"

Bucky slammed his fists into the table. The metal one causing a dent.

"Enough Stark." Steve did not feel like the two of them having a verbal altercation. Steve turned to Bucky.

"How do you know her Bucky?"

"I don't really know her. I bumped in to her at the party. She was working for the catering company. And if any of you were paying attention that man and the now dead woman said her name. So yeah, I used my keen listening skills. Something you are incapable of doing unless it's listening to yourself spew nonsense." That last part was directed at Tony who just rolled his eyes and scoffed

"Well she's in quarantine and that's where she'll stay until we get answers."

"Do you really think that's a good idea eye patch? I mean she did sort of, not do anything wrong."

"Now you're defending her? This fucking guy. Stark you're a dick." Bucky rose out of his seat to leave. He wasn't going to stick around and listen to the politics. Locking her up was a bad idea. She had done nothing wrong. She had even told them to leave for fear she wouldn't be able to protect them. The government and always trying to do what they thought was right, always ended up being wrong. The lines always ended up blurred. HYDRA. SHIELD fighting HYDRA. HYDRA becoming SHIELD. It was all a clusterfuck and he was beginning to not want any part of any of it. He had spent years being manipulated by a government. He didn't want someone else to go through what he went through. Even if it wasn't going to be as bad as he had it. Which Bucky couldn't even say for sure. SHIELD was sneaky and he wouldn't be surprised if they tried to run tests on her.

"Mr. Stark?"

"Yeah JARVIS what is it?"

"You told me to notify you when the woman woke. Well she's up and she's not very happy."

Everyone in the room scurried to get up and make a beeline for the containment room.

Auset was fuming. She had woken up in a nicely furnished room. Far nicer than anything she had ever been in. She was locked in. She had two choices. She could break the door down and just leave and fight her way out. Or she could at least talk her way out of the room and then leave. After she properly said good bye to Anua. In all reality she couldn't just haul a dead body out of the tower. Especially if she had to fight her way out.

Kicking the door Auset began to scream to anyone who was listening.

"Listen here you fucking fuckers. Let me out now!"

It didn't take long for the weirdos who were in costumes to file into the adjoining room. Even though they were in the other side of the door. There were even some faces she didn't see from before. Her eyes landed on the dark haired man with the steely grey eyes.

Her gaze was pleading almost as if she were begging him to let her out. Bucky shrugged his shoulders. He didn't know what else to do.

"Um hello. Strange woman with wings. You're in there and we need answers. When we get answers you can come out." Tony wore his notorious smirk. Auset smiled back.

"You have a choice. Let me out so I can give a proper goodbye to my nana and I won't break every bone in your body. Or watch me break out and break every bone in your body. The choice is yours." Her smirk matched Tony's.

Bucky let out a chuckle and everyone in the room sent him a death glare.

"Oh come on. It's nice to see that asshole be threatened. It's not like he doesn't deserve it."

Auset was losing her patience.

She placed her hand in the metal door that was next to the glass. She concentrated and waited. The metal began to heat up and within seconds the door was molten metal burning a hole to the next floor down. The sprinklers deployed and Auset stepped through the frame. Her eyes on Tony.

"Jarvis turn off the damn sprinklers." Tony yelled.

"Mr. Stark. I do realize that I just promised you an insane amount of pain. Which I can make good on, also to any other person in this room who would stand in my way. But I don't want to do that. I want to see me Nana. Then, and only then will I be willing to answer any questions. That you or anyone else may have."

Auset folded her arms and waited for someone, anyone to respond. Bucky was the first.

"I'll take you."

Auset's green eyes flickered to him.

"Thank you." She moved forward and the team split like the Red Sea. Bucky walked out of the room and towards the nearest elevator. Auset followed him. No one else dared to tag along.

Bucky called out the commands for the elevator. Which came promptly. He stepped inside first then Auset. She stood with her back pressed up against the wall staring at the floor. Trying to remember the last time she felt this sad. She couldn't remember a time. This was the first time she had felt real sadness. Auset sucked in a deep breath and tried to hold back her tears. She looked over at Bucky who had been looking at her but quickly looked away when she caught him. She would've found it cute were it not for the circumstances.

"What is your name?"

Bucky looked over at her again.

"Me?" He asked pointing to himself.

"Is it just us two in here? I don't sense anyone else."

"James Buchanan Barnes. Or Bucky. Most people just call me Bucky."

"I shall call you James." Auset replied. The elevator dinged signaling that it was time to get off. Auset followed James off of the elevator and down the hall. There were several different labs set up. The last one held a table. On the table was Anua's body covered by a thin white sheet. Auset bypassed James and ran to the door. Giving it a hard pull causing the lock to break. She ran over to the table and slowly pulled back the sheet. Her body was a ghastly dull grey. No longer the sun kissed brown that she had grown to love over the years. No more warmth in her hands that had held her. Anua's hair was completely white.

Bucky hovered in the door way. Unsure of what to say. He watched her circle the body and whisper in a language he could not understand. After a few moments Auset spoke up.

"Her body must be burned."

"Um I'll see what I can do. I'm sure we can manage that for you."

Auset nodded her head.

"Since you have kept your word James and escorted me here. I will now keep mine and answer any questions that your friends may have."

Bucky nodded his head and escorted her back upstairs.

Conference Room

Auset had been allowed to shower and clean up before she was to be questioned. Which she was grateful for. She didn't know what she was going to do now. At first it seemed smart to run or to leave. But she had no training. She didn't know where to go or what to do.

"Who are you exactly?" The woman with the red hair asked her.

"Auset."

"Right but what's your last name? Date of birth things like that."

"I've had many last names. Today is Jackson. I do not remember the year but my birthday is May 18th."

"So how old will you be in a few days?"

"A little over five thousand."

"Bull shit she's lying. Right Nat' she's full of shit."

Auset had just about enough of Tony's mouth. How the others dealt with it she did not know.

"Does he ever shut up?"

Nat smiled and shook her head.

"No unfortunately he doesn't. Auset can you explain exactly what you are. Are you a mutant?"

Auset let out a noise of disgust.

"I am not a mutant. I'm not something that happened by chance. I am the daughter of Ra and the first daughter of Ma'at."

"So you expect us to believe you're a God?"

"Tch you believe that is a God." Auset pointed to Thor.

Loki let out a little chuckle.

"I am not a that."

Auset rolled her eyes. She was annoyed and hungry. But mostly annoyed.

"Listen. I'm going to tell you the story I was told by Nana I meant Anua. Ma'at and Ra always met in secret. My father having always been in love with her. On day Anubis came to my father and told him that my mother was pregnant. One of his witches had told him. He asked for my hand in marriage to which my father agreed thinking it would bring peace between that side of the family. Isis being Anubis' mom and hating my father. What Anubis didn't tell my father is that his witches saw that I was the only one who could wield the spear that created worlds. And by marrying so could he. Of course my father found out but had made an oath. So when my mother gave birth she hid me away even from him. Refusing to let me suffer as his wife and destroying worlds. Here I've been for all of my life. Watching you kill each other. Hiding in the shadows. That's all I know. I've never met any other God until last night. Anubis and that over there." She pointed at Thor and winked at Loki.

"I'm not a that!"

"Okay settle down blondie." Tony stark said as he sat next to Auset who grimaced.

"Look I know we got off in the wrong foot but let's start off on a good one now. Where is the spear?"

"Here but not here." Auset replied.

"Because that makes sense."

Auset growled out in annoyance. She stood up and began to pace.

"I don't know how it works. All I know is when I call for it, it appears. I would appreciate it if you would stop treating me like some villain."

She held out her hand and the spear appeared. AS did her wings and armor.

"All I know is that when I call for it comes. Anua told me I have a temple. I do not know where that Temple is. I am the only one who can apparently access it and that is where the spear resides when it's not in my hands. We never tried looking for it because she didn't want Anubis to find me. I don't know much. I do know that if he gets the spear you can kiss your world goodbye and all others. Even that knows it to be true." She again pointed to Thor who growled in annoyance but shook his head in agreement.

Auset changed back into her normal form the spear disappearing in her hand. She sat back down in the chair and looked around the room.

"Look I don't mean you any harm. Truth is I'm afraid. I don't know what to do. Anubis is not to be fucked with. When will he come back? I don't know. He's taken the only thing I have ever loved. I will never get her back. That thought alone is reason enough for me to not ever let him get the spear. I don't know any of you. You don't owe me nothing, but please help me. Help me learn to defend myself. I could pay you. There are these really old coins that we've collected and they are worth a lot. I will-"

"Okay that enough. She's just a kid." Clint said standing up and walking towards Auset who had tears coming down her face.

"Yea I'm with Clint. She needs our help. That's what we do right? Help people." Sam propped his feet up on the table.

Tony looked around the room. All eyes looking like they wanted to help. Even Fury's.

"Okay fine. Someone has to be responsible for her."

"I will."

"Of course it would be Frosty. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the lab." Tony put up his hands and walked out of the room.

"I need to get some of my things. Is it okay if I go?" Auset asked Clint.

"We will go with you." Steve replied as he motioned for Bucky and Sam to follow him. Auset nodded her head and followed them out.

Later that night

Auset had been set up with a very nice room that was close to Bucky's. She was amazed how nice it was. She had really never seen anything like it. It was easier for her and Anua to blend in with the poor people. She even had familiarized herself with the A.I. Absolutely loving how her name sounded with his British accent. She had even had the pleasure of meeting Vision who had just materialized through her room wall. Spooked her at first but she greeted him with smile. The two of them had talked for over an hour him questioning her about everything Kemetic. So she told him everything she knew.

Now she was alone and unable to sleep. So many things had changed in such a small amount of time. Even in all her long years, things usually happened gradually. Deciding she wasn't going to get any sleep Auset decided to fix herself some tea. She wrapped herself in her silk robe that her mother had made for her a few years back. She knew it was from her mom because her insignia had been sewn into the hem of the sleeves.

With naked feet Auset padded into the dark kitchen. Calling out to the A.I. to turn the lights on. A noise to her right caught her attention.

"James?" Auset asked approaching the man who was drinking a bottle of liquor.

"Um yeah, is there something you need?"

Auset shook her head. She observed the scene in front of her.

"Is there something you need?"

Buck smirked and sighed.

"A good night's sleep."

Auset nodded her head in understanding and approached him. She picked up the bottle of liquor he was nursing and gently took the cup from his hand. Her hand brushing his knuckles slightly. The contact sent a chill through Bucky. For a split second he wondered if the rest of her skin would give him the same reaction.

"This stuff is not going to help. I'll make you some tea. My Nana made it herself. She dried all kinds of herbs and always brewed it for me." Auset placed the bottle on the counter and the cup in the sink. Bucky watched as she filled the kettle up and set up two small cups and saucers. The way she moved around the kitchen was like she had been here before. She joined him seconds later.

"You're punishing yourself."

"Done a lot of stuff that deserves me to be punishing myself."

Auset reached across the table and grabbed Bucky's hands. Both of his hands. Which didn't go unnoticed by Bucky.

"My Nana used to say, nobody can cause hurt to your soul but you. No one can make you happy but you. I think maybe she just meant were responsible for how we feel about ourselves. I wasn't honest with you earlier. I knew your name. I watch TV. I've heard the stories. But when I was next to you I could feel the sadness but also all the joy. You have so much happiness inside of you. It was coming off of you in waves. I-"

The kettle whistled and Auset held up a finger. She busied herself pouring the tea and serving Bucky. When she sat down she continued to talk.

"I think you should stop blaming yourself for the cruel deeds of others. You are special James. No one else has even given off the vibes that I've felt from you. I've been around for a long time. Give yourself credit. It's okay to forgive yourself. At some point you will have to."

Auset took a sip from her cup and watched as Bucky just stared at her. She blushed a little and sipped some more of her tea.

"I'm sorry if I over stopped my bounds. I tend to talk a lot and it wasn't my place to-"

"It's alright." Bucky replied taking a sip of his tea. Auset smiled and the two of them finished their tea in silence. Once finished Bucky walked her back to her room because he was still a gentleman. Auset turned around before entering the room. She looked at Bucky the same way she did the night that he had bumped into her.

"I wish you enough."

Was all she said before she slipped into her room. Getting into his own bed Bucky's thoughts got lost. All of them lost on Auset. Before he knew it he was sleeping soundly.

The next morning Auset was sitting at the island watching Steve make breakfast. The two of them enjoying a conversation.

"So your birthday is next week huh?"

"Yes I'm excited. Well anxious. My mother always leaves me a gift."

Steve looked at her questionably.

"I thought you've never met her."

"I haven't. It's just something always ends up appearing. It's usually clothes or jewelry."

Steve turned back around and flipped the pancakes.

"I don't want to sound rude Auset but you said you're over 5 thousand years old yet you seem like."

"Like I'm in my early 20's. I guess by mortal standards I appear to be that age and I guess I have seen a lot of things but Anua and I lived in seclusion a for a lot of those years. We lived with indigenous people mainly. So I never got to experience what you or the others did as far as a normal upbringing."

"Well I guess that explains a lot."

Auset looked over at Tony who had just entered the kitchen and took the seat next to her. Even though there were plenty of other seats.

"I met a man like you once. He was arrogant and handsome. But very very stupid."

"Yeah what was his name Jesus?"

Auset blanched.

"No. His name was Cesar of Rome."

Tony's mouth fell open.

"You just said you lived your life in seclusion. How did you know him?"

Auset smirked. She had his attention now. Natasha, Clint and Bucky also filed in. Clint taking the set next to Auset.

"So how well did you know him?" Tony wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

Auset rolled her eyes.

"You are a pig Mr. Stark. And I didn't know him that way. I've never known anyone that way."

Auset sipped some of her orange juice. Tony clearly wasn't going to let this go.

"So you're serious. You've never had a boyfriend or a friend with benefits?"

Auset groaned. Why and how was this important?

"I fail to see why you need to know. But no, I haven't. Doesn't mean I'm stupid. I've been around for a long time I've seen things."

Tony smiled.

"What kind of things?"

"Auset you do not have to answer that. Tony drop it."

"Oh no Spangles. You and Auset have something in common maybe you two can figure out what goes where."

Tony started laughing at his own joke. Auset looked at Steve who was blushing. She looked back at Tony. She stood up and leaned into his personal space which made him stop laughing. Tony cleared his throat and Auset inched her face close to his.

"So you want to know what I know Mr. Stark?" She asked seductively. At this point everyone in the room was staring at the situation. Tony was staring into Auset's emerald eyes looking like he had hit the jackpot. Auset placed both hands on either side of him spreading his legs with her knees.

She carefully inched her mouth to his ear and whispered something. Tony scrambled out of his seat and started gagging dramatically.

"I am not into that. You need help!" He said angrily and walked away. Auset couldn't stop laughing. When she composed herself she looked at the Avengers who were watching her.

"What?" She asked innocently.

"What did you say to him?" Natasha asked.

Auset smiled brightly.

"I may have explicit told him what went on in the Greek brothels."

They still looked confused. Auset rolled her eyes.

"You know Greek brothels mainly consisted of men looking for other men."

A cacophony of "oh's" passed around the room.

"Next time kid when you have a burner like that you have to say it out loud. That's the way it works around here. You burn the other person so everyone can laugh."

Auset smiled sheepishly.

"Okay enough talk. Eat your pancakes." Steve chided.

"Oh actually I can't. I have to go to work." Auset said grabbing her bag off the counter and heading towards the elevator.

Steve and Bucky chased after her.

"Auset wait." She turned around and faced them.

"Um maybe you shouldn't work anymore given you need to be training as much as possible. That's if you want." Steve said.

Auset pondered his words and then looked at Bucky.

"What do you think?" She asked him with a little blush on her cheeks.

"Steve is right. You should train as much as possible. Build your strength up. Work will interfere with that."

Auset nodded her head.

"Okay then. I guess I'll just shoot Rico a text. It's not like he will miss me. Oh shit my phone."

Auset realized in all of the chaos she had never recovered it that night.

"Don't worry darlin' we can get you a new phone." Bucky told her as he took her bag from her and lead her back into the kitchen. Steve smiled behind them. Since she had come Bucky hadn't been his sad, isolated self. He even got a good night's sleep last night. Auset was definitely going to have to stick around for a while.
