I don't own Naruto, or else IT WOULD NEVER END TT_TT
Kakashi and Anko kept their heads bent down; staring at the floor like it was the most interesting thing in the world at that moment.
"So are you guys g-gonna, ehm explain what just happened?" said Cap stuttering a bit still overwhelmed by what he just saw.
They both shook their heads mutely and Asuka who was staring on the conversation raised an eyebrow are they really going to keep something like this a secret she thought to herself.
"W-why, don't you guys trust us" said Wasp from beside Cap.
Kakashi just clenched his fists while Anko said "we are not allowed to do that."
"Why are you guys keeping this kind of stuff a secret from us? Who are those people who ban you from saying anything?" said Cap.
"They're our superiors, and we are not to speak a word about this kind of stuff unless given permission" said Kakashi finally speaking up.
"Oh, is that all" said Asuka suddenly, everyone in the room turned to her in shock seemingly forgetting she's in the room.
"What do you mean is that all?" said Tony getting a bit frustrated from the lack of information.
"If its permission they're waiting for, then you guys have my permission as your superior" said Asuka flashing them a smile.
The team turned to regard Anko and Kakashi, but rather than seeing relieved and excited faces, they saw two very tense looking kids. Cap's stare softened and he moved over to them, as he crouched down to their height both kids seemed to flinch and turn their heads to stare at him surprised, their gazes finally leaving the floor.
Cap placed a hand on either of the kids' shoulders and said "it's not about getting permission from your superiors is it."
Both kids nodded fidgeting a bit in nervousness and staring at the floor again, "is it about us? How we'll treat you when we find out what you're capable of?" said Cap.
Both kids tensed and nodded again Cap smiled at them and chuckled a bit in amusement, both kids turned their heads away from the floor and stared at Cap in shock at his sudden change.
"Don't worry, you remember what I said to you before don't you?" said Cap smiling now in amusement, at this Kakashi's eyes widened as he remembered what Cap said.
Cap smiled at them and repeated what he said before "you might act like an adult, you might fight like an adult but to us your still a child" he then ruffled both kids hair and stood up.
Kakashi and Anko both smiled relieved and hugged Cap fiercely, "thank you Cap-san" they both muttered into his chest. Cap smiled down at both of them and hugged back.
The rest of the team we're by now watching the events unfold fondly from beside the screen, but that was quickly broken by one Hawkeye who just happened to wake up at that moment.
"Ugh, my head" he said as he sat up, he then surveyed the room in a bit of surprise that he wasn't in his bed, and that was when he remembered what happened.
"Wait, THAT WASN'T A DREAM!" his indignant shout seemed to make the whole team turn to him in shock.
Hawkeye then pinned his gaze on Kakashi and stood up growling "you." Suddenly before anyone can do anything Hawkeye had reached Kakashi and was currently holding him up by the hem of his shirt, but Kakashi seemed unfazed by this and had calm almost bored façade on.
"What the heck are you?" Hawkeye shouted shaking Kakashi back and forth threateningly.
"I'm the boy who's currently being throttled by a purple tights loving archer" said Kakashi with a straight face, Anko snickered from behind him as Cap moved forward to stand beside him.
"Put Kakashi down Hawkeye" said Cap slowly, but when five minutes passed and Hawkeye hadn't let go of Kakashi yet, Tony moved forward and said "Hawkeye let the kid go now."
Kakashi had stayed silent throughout the whole thing staring unflinchingly at Hawkeye, and Hawkeye did the same to him, after a while Hawkeye spoke up "alright kid, I know your keeping more secrets than what we just saw."
"I don't know what you're talking about" said Kakashi in a low voice as he narrowed his eyes.
"Don't play dumb with me kid" shouted Hawkeye shaking Kakashi roughly, "You think I didn't notice what you did when you went behind that boulder."
"Hawkeye what are you talking about? You're not making any sense" said Tony.
"Rewind the video Stark and you'll understand what I'm saying" growled out Hawkeye.
Cap placed a hand over Tony's shoulder and said to Hawkeye "not until you let go of Kakashi", at this Hawkeye growled lowly in his throat and hesitantly let go of Kakashi.
Kakashi looked down at his shirt and started smoothing out the wrinkles from his sudden assault muttering "great job, you just ruined my only shirt."
Cap smiled at the comment and moved over to stand beside Kakashi as if to protect him from any further assaults. Cap placed one hand on Kakashi's shoulder and felt some of the younger boy's tense muscles relax at the contact.
Tony finished working on the screen and moved to stand beside Kakashi also. They all watched as Kakashi made the fake Kakashi and Anko, and then moved to crouch with Anko behind him.
"Look! See, right there" said Hawkeye pointing indignantly at the screen. When all he got was some confused stares Hawkeye rolled his eyes and moved over to the screen pointing at Kakashi's now exposed right ear.
Tony saw that and turned to Kakashi, but Kakashi didn't look back up he just stared at the floor again. It seemed like he was doing that a lot today. Tony placed a hand on Kakashi's shoulder and said "you don't have to tell us if you don't want to."
Hawkeye moved away from the screen and stomped over angrily "oh yes you do. Now tell me, how is it that right after you took that headband of your off your eye, that you can suddenly revert her" Hawkeye pointed at Asuka indignantly, "into a human again, and not that weird dinosaur thing" ended Hawkeye frustrated.
"Back off Hawkeye, if he doesn't want to talk about then you have to respect his choice" said Cap moving to stand between Hawkeye and Kakashi.
"What? Cap are you even listening to yourself, this kid was literally breathing fire. If they are hiding more secrets from us then how are we supposed to know they trust us."
"Just because we don't know everything about them, doesn't mean they don't trust us" said Tony moving to stand beside Cap.
"No" whispered Kakashi from behind quietly, at this all three adults turned to him in shock. Anko looked at him with a sad smile and moved over to stand beside him, Kakashi turned his head and smiled back, then turned back to regard them "you're right Hawkeye, we were hiding most of this because we thought you'd throw us back in a cell, or something" said Kakashi.
"But now I know that won't happen" he said reaching behind his head to untie the headband completely.
As Kakashi slowly lowered it down the first thing to greet the Avengers was a fresh and deep vertical scar going down Kakashi' left eye. Everybody in the room gasped at the sight, and Wasp couldn't help but shed silent tears to the young boy's handicap.
"K-Kakashi, what h-happened to your e-eye" stuttered Cap his hands shaking slightly with every word. Kakashi just stared down at the floor and said with a pained voice "losing my eye, was not the worst thing I lost that day" he said fists clenching and starting to shake with concealed fury.
Anko placed an uncharacteristically gentle hand on his clenched fist, and Kakashi looked up a bit surprised. Anko smiled at him tenderly, and Kakashi smiled back grimly, slowly turning back to face the team Kakashi found them all with those sympathetic eyes.
Kakashi frowned at that I don't need their sympathy he thought to himself angrily. As if Cap read his thoughts he smiled amusedly and moved closer to him saying "Kakashi, why did you take off your headband when fighting Asuka? Does it help you to think faster?" he said softly trying to comfort Kakashi.
Kakashi sighed and looked at Anko, when she nodded and moved to stand behind his right shoulder Cap grew confused.
"What are you guys doing", but Kakashi simply stared up at Cap revealing his sharingan, Cap gaped "w-what i-is t-that" he stuttered looking into the blood red iris as the three tomoe spun around lazily in their socket. Kakashi then shut his eye as fast as he'd opened it and looked at him with his one eye lazily saying "that is my sharingan."
As soon as he said that, both Kakashi and Anko blacked out on the floor, "KAKASHI! ANKO!" shouted Cap as he ran toward their side, the rest of the team and Tony close behind him.
"What happened to them?" asked Tony worriedly.
"I don't know? He said his eye was a sha-sha-sharen" said Cap trying to pronounce the foreign word.
"A sharingan" said Asuka from the other side of the room, wheeling her way over to them, as they turned their head in shock to her, forgetting about her being there again.
"Do you know what happened to them?" asked Cap worriedly from beside Kakashi and Anko.
"I can't tell, but I've got a guess" she said as she made her way over beside Cap.
Cap had Kakashi in his arms and he moved him closer to Asuka, so she can inspect him, while Tony held onto Anko gently staring at her with worry and a bit of panic.
Asuka's hand glowed a light green, and when she moved her hand to Kakashi, Cap shielded him and said "what are you doing" looking at her hand skeptically.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to do a small scan, and see what's wrong" she said lowering her hand.
Cap stared for a moment, but then hesitantly moved Kakashi to her reach again; Asuka moved her glowing hand on Kakashi's forehead, and frowned gently.
"What's wrong?" said Cap worriedly at her frown.
Asuka didn't answer him, and instead turned to Tony and gestured to Anko.
Tony understood the silent message and moved Anko closer to Asuka's reach, as Asuka placed her hand on Anko's forehead the frown appeared again. Cap now slightly panicking was twitching a bit in restrained frustration.
Asuka finally turned to them and said "are you guys sure you were taking care of them?"
"What do you mean? Of course we were taking care of them" said Wasp finally speaking up.
Asuka frowned slightly and said "well from what I just saw, I can tell that these two haven't had a proper meal or a full night sleep in a while. Now can you explain to me why that happened?" she said raising an eyebrow at them.
At this all the team looked at each other nervously and Tony spoke up "well, you see Kakashi and Anko didn't want to leave your side. We tried to convince them to at least sleep in their rooms but they were just too adamant to stay with you until you woke up" said Tony rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.
Asuka's eye twitched and she started muttering about 'stubborn brats' and 'just like sensei', but that was all they caught from her muttering before she swiftly turned her wheel chair around, Kakashi and Anko unconscious in her lap.
"Hey where are you going" said Tony rushing in front of her.
Asuka stopped and said "these two are having a case of fatigue at the moment, and it's not healthy for kids their age, so I'm taking them to the medic wing" she said as she avoided Tony and continued wheeling her chair to the exit.
"Wait, you don't even know the way to the medical wing" said Cap who now rushed to stand beside Tony.
"Of course I do, I memorized it on the way here" she said as she exited.
Cap and Tony both gaped, and turned to look at each other, but then Tony just slumped and said "I guess that's where they get their attitude from" before walking leisurely over to the exit following Asuka, and the team following him close behind.
Tony reached Asuka and started wheeling her Asuka looked up at him in surprise that he wasn't there to stop her, and he smiled back at her confused face. Asuka smiled back and held onto Kakashi and Anko tightly.
"You might wanna start running now, I'll hold on to them" said Asuka, Tony nodded and started in a sprint towards the medical wing. The team stared at each other in confusion but quickly began running too.
Wasp and Cap ran over to Tony and started sprinting and talking "Tony why are you running" asked Wasp worriedly.
"The faster we get them to the medical wing the better" he said still focused on the task.
"Is their condition really that bad?" asked Cap worrying a bit.
"I don't know but I'm not willing to wait, to find out" Tony said putting an extra boost in his sprint, Cap and Wasp saw that and started running faster as well. Panther made it over to them and said "I think I should take them their Tony, I'll get their faster than any of you."
Tony nodded and let go of one of the handles still pushing with the other, Panther quickly took hold of the handle and as soon as Tony let go Panther had sprinted and was about ten meters in front of them.
Tony sweat dropped and said "he wasn't kidding when he said he was the fastest."
Cap smiled at Tony in amusement and said "don't cut yourself short Tony, you're pretty fast too. For a millionaire, who likes to hide in suits."
"Well, ha ha Cap, I can tell you've been spending too much time with Kakashi and Anko" Tony said rolling his eyes.
Cap smiled and Wasp said from beside him "actually I would call that an improvement from the time he use to take orders blindly" she said with an amused smile.
Tony groaned and said "not you too Jan, why is everyone against me today" he said miserably.
"Well it wouldn't be so fun if we just listened to you now would it?" asked Wasp smiling cheekily at him.
Tony rolled his eyes and smiled back "sure, lucky me."
"You bet" said Cap also smiling cheekily.
