Homework assignment
They got home at around 4:00 that evening. Phil pulled up at the tower and got out, leading her to the elevator. Both the car and elevator ride where filled with small talk, the weather, training, work, and other things.
Phil dropped her off at her floor. "Do your homework, ok. I'll be with the others." His voice clearly was penned as that of an older brother, or a fatherly figure.
"Penthouse?"
"Yeah." The agent gently smiled at her.
"Ok..." She left for her room, smiling at him till the elevator door had closed. "Time to do homework, then."
After some reasoning with herself, she decided she would shower and change first.
You know... time goes really fast when I'm training with Loki...
Relaxed, changed, and ready, she prepared to do her homework. Pacing within her bedroom, she debated destinations to aim for.
"The lab? No... Penthouse living room? No... Gym? Hmm... I can try the gym..." She mumbled to herself as she thought. "Alright..." Jennifer stopped pacing, in the middle of the room. "Here we go." She started to concentrate, using the image of the gym to guide her. After a few minutes, on the verge of giving up, she finally saw the room start to deteriorate, blowing away like mist in the wind. For a few moments, there was darkness, nothing but a silent void, but soon, the building blocks started to come together again. A Lego model of the gym, building up into the real thing.
So. Cool.
A vague noise, like a mannequin being beaten, faded into her ears as the room came to be. Once the room was there, the sound stopped, abruptly.
"Jennifer?" Steve Rogers asked from behind her; he had been boxing with a punching bag to relieve stress. She turned around, smiling and wild eyed.
"It worked..." She whispered. Suddenly, her voice became a crescendo, bouncing of the walls of the gymnasium. "OHMIGOD IT WORKED! I did it. I did it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. No eating here tonight-" She sang as she did a little happy dance around the shocked captain.
Time to wreak havoc.
"Wha-" Steve started, but she was in a rush.
"Sorry, Cap. Gotta go. homework doesn't do itself!" She called to him as she ran into another room, where the soldier couldn't see her.
The... kitchen. Next is the kitchen...
Same process, different variables, different outcome. She did get to the kitchen, but not the one she wanted. When her vision cleared it was the penthouse kitchenette, not her own, that appeared in front of her eyes. Bruce, Thor, Phil, Clint, and Pepper Pots stood in the living area, looking at her.
"Um... hi..." She rubbed the back of her neck as she stuttered.
"Jennifer Samantha Wade, what are you doing?" Coulson ground out, just as confused as the rest of them.
"Homework..."
Clint seemed to blink out of the shock before everyone else. "Yeah, but what is your homework?"
"Te-teleportation..."
"COOL!" The archer yelled, snapping everyone out of their respective trances.
Thor was the only one to seem unphased by her statement. Dr. Banner, on the other hand, took longer to process the information. "Wait... what?"
Thor looked proud as he explained. "My brother is tutoring her on the uses of magic." Clint scowled at Loki's name, never having fully forgiven him for the tesseract incident.
Banner became a bit curious. "Show us what you learned today, Jen."
"Teleport to next to the window." Barton supplied.
Just like before, doll... breath and pop...
She closed her eyes and before she can think, there was wind whipping her hair around and the mist had not rematerialized the tile floor at her feet. When she opened her eyes she realized there is no ground. Yes, she was next to the window, but on the wrong side of it. She started to fall when the elements caught up with her and screamed, shutting her eyes.
"HOLY SHIT I'M GONNA D-" The last word was cut short as she was caught by a pair of arms, metallic and hard. Cracking an eye open, it was Tony, flying her up to the landing pad at the roof.
"Have a nice fall, Sputnik?"
She let out a huge sigh and hugged Stark around his mask "Thank you" She breathed into him as he landed.
'How the hell did you get outside?" He set her down to get the suit off of himself.
"Um... slight miscal-" The others ran onto the roof, interrupting her.
"What the hell?"
"How did u do that?"
"Are you ok?" The worried and curious queries flooded in before Bruce put a calming hand on her shoulder.
"Let's skip homework for the rest of the day. You should go to bed." He whispered to her, more of a demand for her safety then a suggestion and she nodded.
"I'll... see you guys in the morning..." She started to the elevator, leaving everyone to watch her as she, still in a state of shock, left to sleep.
Well I guess that I can take "flying through free-fall" off my bucket list...
