This Chapter isn't much of an action chapter but more explanatory. Again this story might be slow but please review and fallow! I really see how far I can go with this story and feel lame if no one is gonna read it! Love you all! Chapter 3 will be up soon!

A few days passed by since Catalina had arrived and everything was going somewhat smoothly. Catalina had been spending the few days learning how to take care of Adam so she was prepared for when Pepper and Tony's busy lives called. Steve watched her as Pepper showed her around the tower and how everything worked. He noticed she seemed unsure and confused a lot of the time like she didn't understand anything in the tower; especially the appliances and electronics.

No matter how frustrated she was though, Catalina still smiled and nodded politely to Pepper. She rarely smiled when no one was looking though (or when she thought no one was looking), and smiled the most when a certain assassin showed up.

Catalina had been sitting in the living room when the red head walked in just after getting home from a mission. At first Catalina didn't pay any attention to the newcomer until she heard her yell, "CAT!" and was engulfed in a strong hug. At first she was taken aback but gleefully yelled back Natasha's name and gave her a hug.

Steve and Bruce were the only ones utterly confused; Pepper and Tony carried on as if this was normal for the assassin to break out in joy when seeing a complete stranger. After seeing the confusion on their faces Pepper explained Natasha and Catalina had known each other for a few years and Natasha was the one to suggest her as a nanny.

From then on everyone carried on normally with their lives and acted as if it was normal for yet another person to join them in the tower. Catalina did her work as nanny and left the tower as often as she could when she wasn't needed. When she was in the tower she was polite to everyone but was hesitant when it came to speaking her mind when she was around the men of the tower. She would tense up a little but also looked at ease and strong when she was around the men.

Catalina also tried to avoid using as much technology as possible but no one could figure out why. When Catalina did need help with something she would always ask Natasha first who would help without hesitation. It was obvious that Natasha and Catalina were close friends and understood each other on the same level. It was also clear that they knew about each other's pasts and respected each other. The two women were like sisters and it was a little scary how well they got along.

However friendly Catalina seemed towards the other Avengers though Steve couldn't help feeling she didn't take a liking to him at all. Whenever she spoke to him there was always a bit of acid to her tone and she squinted her eyes in anger. It frustrated him, not knowing why Catalina didn't like him. She did do this to the other men in the house but did it more often and had more acid directed towards him specifically. He thought to himself if he could have possibly done something wrong but realized there wasn't even room in their first meeting for him to do something wrong. He was polite and had apologized for the little misunderstanding after all.

He was determined though. Steve told himself he would do everything he possibly could to understand Catalina and find out why she didn't like him. Catalina was exactly how he would imagine the nanny to be personality wise but was curious about what she was hiding and why she was trying so hard to hide it. The clothing style obviously wasn't what she was use to. She also looked sad and scared most of the time when she though no one could see her.

Steve would get her to break down her walls. He was sure of it. Who could resist him? He wasn't romantically interested in her; just wanted to be friends and understand her. Right? Or was he really falling for this mysterious girl? He kept telling himself no but he felt it was partially a lie.

A few days had passed and life became extremely busy for the Avengers and they all wanted to just go home. It was after a week of what seemed like nonstop calls that the team finally got a breather. They landed the Quintjet and then proceeded to flop on the nearest available surface. Natasha and Bruce managed to make it to a couch and Tony found an armchair. Steve, Thor, and Clint just gave up and took up residence on the floor not intending to move for at least 14 hours, maybe more.

Just as they were finally starting to doze off the unsure pitter-patter of little feet could be heard coming down the corridor. Tony cracked his eye open when he felt a pulling at the chair. He saw his little boy trying very hard to climb up into Tony's lap. Just as Tony was going to reach down and grab Adam a pair of smaller hands grabbed his son and placed the baby on Tony's lap.

Most of the Avenger's had forgotten there would be a third person to welcome them home after their mission so Tony was a little startled when he looked up to see Catalina there. He was a little shocked that neither he nor anyone else had heard her approach, not even Barton or Romanov. He gave her a confused look and she took that to mean that he was wondering why she had brought Adam. "JARVIS told us you were back and since Adam had been asking for you and refused to sleep I thought he could come see you. We could go back to the nursery if you want to rest."

Tony readjusted Adam on his lap being careful of the bruising that he had sustained during a tangle with a particularly large pig-lizard thing. "No, I have barely seen this little fella and I need some serious Daddy time. Where's Pepper?"

Catalina's face softened at the love between her boss and her charge. "She's sleeping. She didn't get home till late tonight and so I offered to watch Adam if you don't need me I have some work I have been meaning to catch up on."

"Yes yes. Thank you. Have fun." Tony gave her a small wave. She waved back and walked back to her room hearing the sound of Tony telling Adam all about "The big mean piggy-lizard."

Later, when the team had finally managed to drag themselves to the kitchen and shovel whatever calories they could find into their faces Steve felt like he was finally back to a version of normal. After that most of the team headed off to bed to catch up on some much needed sleep. Tony put Adam in his crib and joined Pepper in their room. Clint decided to take residents on the couch for the night and go home tomorrow. Bruce and Natasha headed to their floor; Natasha practically dragging a half asleep Banner. Thor went home that night so he could take care of Asgard and see Jane.

Steve could never sleep after a mission due to constant nightmares so he did what he always did: he went to the gym for a workout. He headed down to the gym level and took a deep breath as he was met by cool fresh air-conditioned air. He started off with his usual run on the treadmill and the proceeded to the punching bags. They bags however, were nowhere to be found. Instead he was met by various gymnastics equipment.

He moved over to inspect it. It looked very new and very expensive. He thought the new equipment was odd because he, Clint, and Natasha were the only ones who really did any form of gymnastics but never in this form. The three of them usually just did floor work and used the walls. Shrugging it off he continued to look for the punching bags but stopped when he heard a soft and faint noise.

It was humming. Calm and gentle. It wasn't anything musical but more of a meditational hum.

Steve fallowed the humming to the back of the gym where the ceiling was higher. In front of him were two thick pieces of white fabric hanging from the ceiling. He reached out to touch them but pulled his hand away quickly when he saw them move. Looking up he saw non other than Catalina with her legs intertwined in the silk hanging upside town with her arms stretched above her head. Her eyes were closed and her hair hung below her as she meditated.

Not wanting to disturb how peaceful she looked, Steve started to back away but cursed when he tripped on the spring floor and fell.

Catalina's eyes flew open and she quickly untangled herself from the silks and slid down one. Landing gracefully on the floor she looked at Steve with anger. "Why were you watching me?" She demanded.

Steve stood up stepped back from her. "I was curious about all the new equipment and was trying to figure out what it was. I didn't mean to startle you. I didn't even know you were in the gym."

Catalina scooted back to her silks and wrapped a leg around one of them; preparing to go back up. "Well now you do. So give me my space and I'll give you yours. Feel free to use any of the equipment besides my silks."

"Thank you." Steve rubbed the back of his neck. "You're amazing by the way." Catalina looked at him funny. "I mean the silks. With the silks."

Catalina's face softened and her body eased a little. "Thank you." She said quietly.

Steve took a step forward. "How long have you been doing this?" He gestured towards the silks.

Catalina went rigid again. She doesn't like being asked personal questions. "About three years. And the rest of the gymnastics skills I have done since I was five."

"Well, it's amazing." Steve clapped his hands in nervousness. He could tell she was getting more and more tense by the minute.

Steve walked away and let out the air he didn't realize he was holding.
