Steve and I were sitting on the couch watching a tv show about aliens. He still hadn't let go of my hand since we started watching it and I was really happy. We were sitting closer than normal, his leg almost touching mine while out hands rested on his left leg. I wanted to burst, I was so happy. Until Tony happened. He came bounding into the room.

"Hey you two. Fury's calling a meeting with us. He said you had to come too kid, so lets go!" He turned around and left as quickly and as noisily as he came.

Steve and I stood up and smiled at each other. He suddenly got a serious look on his face. My smile disappeared for a second. He leaned down and kissed my cheek quickly before straightening back up and looking at me hopefully. My smile came back as my cheeks turned red. I grabbed his hand.

"C'mon. We don't want to be late." He smiled back and let me drag him to the group to go to the meeting.

...

We were all sitting around a table in a room waiting for Fury. When he finally walked in, I sat up a bit straighter and looked at him. He made eye contact with me and nodded a hello so I nodded back. He opened a folder and stood at the end of the table and looked at everyone.

"So. Guess you're wondering why you're here. And no, before you ask it's not about New York." We all nodded a bit. "I've asked you all to come here so you can give your opinions about how Jacqueline is doing so far." I turned red and sank down into my seat a bit. Natasha sat forward a bit. "Natasha. You first."

"Well so far, she's shown determination. She could use work on her stamina when it comes to training." I sighed and Fury nodded.

"What about you Banner? What do you think?" Bruce sat up a bit.

"Well she picks out good movies." I smile at this. "But in all seriousness, she's agreeable. Doesn't cause much conflict. She's alright in my opinion." Fury nodded again.

"And you Stark? What do you think about Jacqueline?" Tony was quiet for about five seconds before he started talking.

"She's a good kid. I like having her around. Yeah, agreeable's a good word. But I have a question." Fury nodded. "Who IS she, exactly. Who is Jack? Because you said she's training with us because she helped or something in New York. But there were other people helping too. So why her?" He stood up and walked around to me. "What is so special about Jack that over everyone else, SHE gets to train with us?" He starts walking towards Fury next. "I think you did it for a reason. A bigger reason than 'she was brave.' Because you, you never do anything without and ulterior motive. There's always something behind what you do. So what is it? What's behind Jack? Why her?" He ended his speech at the other end of the table and leaned on it to look at Fury. Fury sighed.

"Do you really wanna know?" Everyone nodded but me. "I wasn't talking to you." He snapped as he looked at everyone. His eye looked to me. "I was asking you Jacqueline. Do you want to know?"

I say quietly for a minute. DID I want to know? I don't know much about myself with my past. If I was told, would it change me? No. I'll always be Jack. I need to know. I nodded at him and he began to talk.

"Johann Schmidt, also known as the Red Skull, injected himself with the Super Solder Serum. After that, he had a son who had been trained by Schmidt until his death. The son of Schmidt had a daughter and disappeared, leaving the mother with the daughter. The mother couldn't take care of the baby and abandoned her, disappearing. The mother and father are still unable to be found, both could be dead, both could be alive. Once SHIELD found out about the girl, we...kept tabs on her. When she was old enough, she moved to New York City and when the Battle of New York occurred, she fought with the Avengers and is currently training with them." He finished and looked at me. I couldn't breathe. I'm the granddaughter of the Red Skull? I shook my head.

"You're joking with me, right? This is just a joke you guys are playing on me. Right?" I look at Fury and he shook his head.

"It's not a joke. We've been watching you since you were two years old, making sure your father didn't try to come back for you or to see if you acquired any side effects from the serum." I sat in shock. This is actually happening. I have an evil grandfather and father. I stare at the table and try to think of some way to wake myself up from this crazy dream.

"Why did you want me to stay with the Avengers?" I asked quietly.

"SHIELD had already decided you had not been influenced by your father's ideals and no side effects from the serum so I decided to have you join them." I nodded slowly and stared at the table again. No one said anything.

"Am I still going to stay at the tower with them?" I asked quietly again and looked around. No one said anything again.

Tony spoke up after a minute.

"Well, I like her so I say we keep her." He said as if that settled everything. I looked up at him as he smiled gently at me. He then turned to Bruce. "What do you think big guy?" Bruce shifted in his seat a bit.

"She seems harmless enough. I say we just see what happens for now." He said as he smiled a bit at me. Tony turned to Clint.

"What about you?"

"I'll agree with whatever Natasha decides." He said with his arms crossed. Tony turns to Natasha.

"You wanna keep Jack around?" Tony asked her. She nodded once and Tony looked at Steve. "What about you?" Steve was looking at the table and was quiet. "Do you want Jack to stay?" Tony asked, trying to get an answer out of him. He nodded his head to say yes and I sighed with relief. Tony smiled and turned to me. "You're staying!" He said and leaned over to give me a high five. I laughed happily as Fury started gathering up his things.

"This meeting is done. I'll see you all next time I call you all here." He said and walked out of the room. We all stood up and headed back to the tower.

...

I was sitting on my bed thinking about the meeting earlier today. Maybe SHIELD knew something about my mom. I decided to talk to Fury about that soon. Hopefully he would have some sort of information on her. I sighed and jumped off my bed and changed into black sweat pants and a pink shirt. I walked out of my room and looked around. Steve was walking out of his room at the same time I was. I smiled.

"Steve!" I called to get his attention. He looked at me, turned around, and walked away quickly. He was out of sight before I even had time to react. What was up with him?

...

Boom. Bet you weren't expecting THAT, right? Heheheh. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks to everyone forever.
