Thanks for reviweing, favouriting and following this story! I've actually got it up to 30 chapters that are typed up so I'll update every few days just to keep the ball rolling :) On other hand, if anyone is feeling really generous, you can always check out my youtube channel by typing ayrpluto in the search bar! Have a nice day!
Connor rolled her eyes and focused on Bruce to keep herself slightly sane.
"Iridium. What do they need the iridium for?" He was interrupted by Tony walking back into the room along with Coulson.
"It's a stabilising agent." He turned to Coulson and Connor was able to hear that he muttered something about flying him out occasionally.
He turned back to the group as he walked. "It means the portal won't collapse on itself like it did at shield. No hard feeling point break, you've got a mean swing." Tony jabbed as he smacked Thor's arm and walked past him. Thor sent a deep glare at the billionaire as the man walked over to the panels. Connor tuned out from the conversation again as Coulson came to stand beside her, pressing a short note into her palm. She looked over at him and he nodded towards the note, indicating she was to read it right away.
She recognised the messy writing of Fury and scrunched her eyebrows to understand what he had scribbled down. She managed to make out that it was along the lines of how Agent Hill didn't want her hurt, she was just following his orders and she was to try not to be too on edge around her.
She snapped her head back up as Fury walked over and started talking about how Bruce was here to help detect the gamma rays and Steve started talking about magical sticks and hydra weapons. Coulson looked over at Connor and saw she was once again not paying attention. He tapped her leg lightly with his shoe and she turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow.
"ADHD?" He asked and she nodded causing the man to nod and turn back to the team.
Tony turned to Bruce. "Shall we play doctor?" Bruce smiled lightly and nodded, holding out a hand to show the way.
"This way." Tony was about to follow him but stopped and turned his head slightly and whistled loudly and high pitched. Connor jumped and turned back to face them, her ears ringing from her finely tuned wolf hearing. He smirked at her.
"You coming wolfy?" She let her eyes flash yellow in a warning and followed along behind him while Tony laughed sharply.
As they walked, Tony asked her questions.
"So why do your eyes turn yellow?" She looked over at him, a painful smile on her lips. This wasn't her favourite of questions.
"It's because I'm a beta. If I was an alpha, they would be red." Tony was still confused and now Bruce was intrigued too.
"So who's your alpha if you're the beta?" Bruce asked lightly as they wandered down the hallways and Conner looked down.
"It was my cousin but they died a few days ago. If everything goes like normal, once the wolf genes eventually process he's gone (which should be soon but I'm not sure when) then I'll become an alpha. It makes me stronger and faster and the legends say I can start a pack but everyone else is dead so not really." The two scientists were shocked and shared amazed looks but didn't ask her any more questions because they knew that was hard for her to answer.
Once they arrived at the lab, Bruce and Tony got straight to work, picking up a scanner and swiping it across the staff that had been brought up for them.
Connor tuned out of their science talk as she fiddled around with Coulson's tablet that he let her borrow and looking up the team's files.
"All I packed was a toothbrush." Connor tuned back in and laughed along with Tony. Tony walked over to Bruce and Connor who was perched on a worktop beside Bruce.
"Y'know, you should come to Stark tower sometime. You too kiddo. All r&d, you'd love it, it's candy land." Connor smiled warmly at him, feeling warmer inside at the fact someone would let her in.
Bruce smiled but shook his head. "Thanks but the last time I was in New York, I kind of wrecked Harlem." Connor rolled her eyes at the mans non-dangerous side. She spoke up.
"I once almost killed the president." The two turned to look at her shocked and she laughed. "It's a story for another day."
They shook their heads amazed at the young girl. Tony continued with what e was saying.
"Well I promise a stress free environment." He started to walk inbetween the two and was gosling with two bits of metal in his hands but Connor paid no attention. "No tension, no surprises." As he said surprises he reached out to the two of them and gave them a small electrical shock.
Bruce jumped and let out an exclaimation of "HEY!". Connor felt her eyes turn yellow and her teeth almost changed but she quickly got over her fright. Tony leaned in between them and stared at their faces of shock. Their attention was driven away by a loud yell from the Captain.
"Hey!" They looked over to see him in his suit and Connor rolled her eyes. "Are you nuts?"
Connor muttered under her breath. "Probably." Tony pulled a shocked face but turned back to the Captain.
"You really have got a lid on it haven't you? What's your secret?" He started listing off a bunch of ridiculous responses to Bruce while Connor focused on trying to get her eyes to go back to blue. She could smell the annoyance off of Steve. She tuned out of the conversation again, she got bored easily.
She heard them start to get agitated at each other. "What isn't Fury telling us?" Tony asked suspiciously and Connor scoffed, turning the attention back to her.
"Believe me, there's a lot of secrets here." They all stared at her hoping she would elaborate but she didn't. She got up and started pacing, feeling a tingling sensation in her foot and they continued the conversation. As she ignored them, she was offered a blueberry and she gladly took one, letting the juice slid down her throat.
"And you're all about style aren't you?" Connor turned and looked ridiculously at Steve which Tony also mirrored.
"Out of all the people in this room a) who is wearing a spangly outfit and b) not of use." Connor spoke up again.
"He has a point. That is - about the outfit." She said while Captain turned to glare at her. He glared at all three of them.
"Just find the cube." He muttered and Connor was slightly panicked she had offended him. He left the room and she turned back to the scientists, helping herself to another blueberry.
