A/N: okay seeing as I started this fic before the movie so I had to change the plot slightly. This is post movie.
I've changed the rating for some upsetting content. Larger author's note at the bottom.
Chapter 3
"Miss Carter."
Marie awoke with a jump at the voice that interrupted her sleep. Coulson smiled at her and she returned it. "We've landed at S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ, Time to get up." He proceeded to walk away, leaving her in the uncomfortable seat. She got up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes before following after the Agent.
She was greeted by a black man with a long leather coat and an eyepatch. "Miss Carter, Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. We are happy you decided to help us." She chewed on her gum and he continued. "I'm Nick Fury, Director of S.H..I.E.L.D." She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I know." He raised his brow and gestured for her to follow him as they showed her around HQ.
They stopped at Fury's office. "Please sit down Miss Carter." She did as was asked and sat in the chair in front of his desk, she felt out of place with her bright red jeans and Blue t-shirt. "We want you to join a team called The Avengers. The six people that are already part of it aren't your average human being. We have a Demi-god, two assassins, a Genius, A scientist that turns into a huge green monster and A super soldier. You are next on that list." She scratched her cheek before talking. "I don't see why I'm needed Director?"
He leaned back in his chair. "You are very, very powerful and smart. You would make a brilliant addition to the team." She rolled her eyes and moved closer. "I'm going to ask you the question again. Why am I needed?" Fury sighed before talking. "We believe that the incident in New York isn't the end. We need to be prepared for more attacks, because this isn't over." She nodded and stood, as did he. "I'll join your team." He smiled. "Good, Agents Barton and Coulson will take you to the Stark Tower." Marie turned to see the Agents standing at the doorway. "I'll be seeing you soon Miss Carter." She nodded and followed the two agents out.
"So you're an Avenger now?" Clint asked as Coulson drove them back to the tower. "Well obviously." She said tiredly, she just wanted to sleep. "We're here." Marie stepped out the vehicle. Her eyes travelled up the height of the Tower and gulped. "Scared of heights Marie?" Coulson asked as they stood in the elevator. "Bad memories." He nodded and all three of them stood in silence as the elevator climbed the levels.
The doors opened and Marie stepped out first her mouth gaped open. "Holy shit." She walked around the huge living room. The room was probably the size of her whole flat, or bigger.
The sound of high heels against the expensive floor caught her attention. A tall woman with red hair and blue eyes walked in wearing business looking clothing. The woman smiled when she saw Marie and the two agents. "Hello you must be Marie." She shook her hand. "My name is Pepper, I work for Tony Stark."
She smiled. "Hello Phil. Clint. JARVIS can you please inform the rest of team that Marie is here."
Seconds later the room was bombarded by the rest of the team. *great* she thought when they all stopped in front of her. The first to talk was Tony.
"Hey sweetheart I'm Tony of course you already knew that, I'm also a genius and Iron man. You obviously know that too." She disliked him already. He was the sort of person that looked down at her when she was at school. "Marie Carter, twenty three years old. Mutant and hacker." He smiled and shook her hand. "Mutant huh? Care to give us a show?" "Maybe later."
The next to introduce themsleves was Thor, who made her feel tiny, even if she was 5"6. "Tis a pleasure to meet you young maiden. I am Thor Odinson, God of Thunder." He shook her hand and she winced at the pressure. "Bruce Banner. Its nice to meet you." He seemed quiet and shy, she liked that. "It's a pleasure to meet you too doctor Banner." He smiled.
The next to talk was a small red head. "Natasha Romanoff. Assassin. Nice to meet you." They shook hands the Russian smiling.
Steve just gave her a hug. It was weird knowing that this young man was her grandfather but whatever.
"Right team, Marie is the new addition to the team. Be nice , cuz I'm pretty damn sure she'll beat you up." Coulson left. Leaving the team to continue with their previous activities.
"Want me to show you your room?" A voice said behind her. She turned to see Clint looking down at her. "Sure, I need to sleep." He smiled and escorted her to the elevator. "So what do you think of the team?" He asked standing next to her. "They're okay, I dont like Tony that much." She felt his eyes on her and lifted her head to meet his gaze.
"You get used to him." She nodded. "Are you and Natasha...?" He shook his head. "No, we were but it didn't work out." He gave her a sad smile. "What about you beautiful?" "Trust issues with...men." "your dad cause that?" He asked some what angry. "Yeah, he did."
"Do you trust me?"It was silent for a while. "No." She smiled at him. "But I could." The doors opened and she wondered around her floor in awe. She ran into her bedroom, ensuite and small kitchen before jumping onto the couch.
Clint just stared at her with amusment. "You finished?" "Uhuh" she said drifting off to sleep on the ridicoulusly comfortable couch. "Are you awake?" He asked. He was greeted with silence.
The archer walked over to the black sofa and picked the young girl up, bridal style. Her face buried into his neck as he walked into her Electric blue bedroom. He lay her down onto the king sized bed, took her converse off and threw the comforter over her body. She looked so young and innocent when she slept and he longed to know what had happened in her past that made her so...scared of men.
With long last look at her he walked out the room, closing the door shut behind him.
