THiRD PERSON POiNT OF ViEW - DURiNG THE TOUR
"She is just some random kid, what is she doing here?" Steven Rogers, aka Captain America, wasn't on board with bringing Nadia in. Tony sighs and sends the clips of Nadia taking on a group of seven guys.
"She isn't just some 'random' kid, Steve. I know you see this." Natasha points out.
Steve couldn't deny he was impressed but she was a kid. She deserved a regular life. "I realize she's talented–"
Natasha cuts him off, "We get it. She is a kid and so is the Spider, but she is almost better than I was at that age. Imagine how much better she would be with the proper training and exercises." She suggests and Clint nods.
He would add to the discussion but he was busy eating Nadia's dots. She would surely be angry but he was hungry and too lazy to go downstairs for food.
"Maybe she has been getting proper training. That would explain how good she is." Steven says and examines her style of fighting.
"She prefers fighting from afar, hence the bow. But, she seems to be well equipped in close combat too, someone is training her...but who?" Natasha thinks out loud, if someone is training her, they could be helpful too.
"And why are we suddenly worried about adding more to the team?" Everyone falls silent.
It was a good question, even Tony agreed. "On Asgard, more people equals more power!" Thor pumps his hammer in the air and everyone rolls their eyes at his antics.
"And sometimes more people means confusion, then death." Clint eats the last dot and shakes the box.
"Wait...don't say it, is it cause she's a kid?" Steve was irritated with Natasha sarcasm, she was overdoing it a bit.
"I think it's great to have another archer on the team. You guys with your guns and special powers..." Clint murmurs in thought.
"We have enough kids on the team, hell Tony even acts like one." Banner walks in the room and feels the tension.
"This...this is why I skip these meetings. You guys stress me out." He rubs the back of his neck, "I mean... I can't always be on the field another person couldn't hurt. She seems like she can handle the pressure." Tony points at him in agreement.
"And if she can't?" Steve asks with a stern tone, Tony raises his hand.
"It will be on me...and Natasha."
She crosses her arms and nods, "Me three!" Barton yells.
"As well as I." Thor says in his Asgardian way of speaking.
"Ah, hell... me five," Banner says sarcastically.
"Tony is this goes badly, you owe me."
Tony shakes him off, "Five to one, what a shame." He doesn't sound sincere at all.
"I'm just thinking of the wellbeing, of a child." Steve walks out of the room, tired of being ganged up-on. His own team didn't see his logic, it made perfect sense.
NADiA'S POiNT OF ViEW - ON THE QUiN JET
"So you're not like...superhuman or anything." I shake my head at Clint's questions. I wasn't expecting someone so...chill and funny. I was expecting him to be serious as shit.
"So, how is this going down? Whatever this is?" I ask Steve and he gives me a curt nod.
How rude, I am being perfectly pleasant. The burner phone stashed in my bag at my feet begins ringing. "Sorry." I see it's Matt and pick up, I walk to the bathroom on the jet and lock the door.
"About that WF(Wilson Fisk) thing, I was wondering...since you're with the Avengers if you could use their technology to find more on him?" I think about it.
"Possibly but it seems like a long shot since their leader, aka Captain America has been staring me down the entire time." Matt sighs and I know he ran a hand through his hair.
"Eh, it was worth a shot." I can hear the smile in his voice, "So...how are you?" This was the first time the question actually meant something.
It was coming from someone who meant a lot to me and I realized how not okay I've been doing. "I'm hanging in there, I don't know how much I can say but-" The door opens and it's Thor.
"Lady Nadia, we have reached our destination." I sigh and nod.
"I gotta go, Matt, we just landed." It sounded like he was choking.
"Landed? Where?!" I don't answer.
"I'm sorry, bye." I flip the phone closed and Thor holds out my quiver and bow. "Thank you." He sends me a friendly smile.
He is adorable when he smiles, his eyes scrunch up and his teeth aren't visible. Delightful.
"What the hell?" I ask as Tony shoves an earpiece in my ear.
"Language." I think that was Steve and I laugh as I climb a tree, I'm far up and I see Clint a few trees over.
"Guys, I just remembered! Nadia needs a superhero name!" I give him a wave as he waves back.
"This is not the time Barton." From the side of my eye, I see him roll his. I snap my bow into place and grab the typical, regular arrows. A loud crash is heard through the mic and I wince.
"Shit!" Tony yells as I see him fly backward...well, not fly more like fall. "Language!" Is yelled again.
"I got you!" I switch my arrow out for a grappling arrow and attach one to his suit and I tree near him. Tony sends me a thumbs up while he recovers. I'm knocked a few branches down as I hear gunshots. "This just got real," I mumble.
I got this.
I can do it. I climb farther up and see the men Natasha is dealing with. Jarvis explains how this 'HYDRA' base is very advanced and I'm confused. "I wish I was given a crash course on the bad guys before I was dragged out here." I send an arrow by Black Widow's head and I see her smirk.
"Loki's scepter must be here. Strucker couldn't mount this defense without it. At long last." Thor sighs in content as I see him fly up into the sky. In his hand, he's twisting his hammer. I am in awe as I nearly get shot...again.
"At long last is lasting a little long, boys." Natasha mumbles and I focus on getting the guys surrounding her, Clint shoots a man I was aiming for and suddenly this felt like a race. I felt the need to do bett– I'm falling!
The branch I manage to grab breaks and I fall a couple of feet. I slowed my fall with the broken branch as I wheeze. "We definitely lost the element of surprise." Barton chips and I struggle to get up.
"You good Nadia?" Natasha asks.
"I'll be fine." Tony ignores me as he asks if we're going to dismiss how 'Cap' said language to both of us.
"I'm well aware–" There are sounds of grunts, "–It kinda slipped out." Captain finishes.
"Nadia... you might want to wake up now." I look to my right and three guys are advancing on my limp figure.
"Oh, just wait," I smirk before falling limper.
"What are you–" I throw one of Black Widow's bites at the man in the middle before kicking the one on the left's legs. I jump up and stumble a bit, "See, easy peasy-" I dodge a punch and land one to the right guy's nose.
I grab my daggers and slash them at the one on the left.
It must have gotten his skin because he winces before growling. "I think I pissed him off," I mutter and the one on the right falls and I use this distraction to jump, wrap my ankles on each side of the man's neck, and twist.
I hear his neck crack and wince slightly. I kick him, he doesn't move. "Uh...guys?" I say nervously.
"What's up kiddo?" Tony replies instantly.
"I think I just killed this dude." I'm staring at his crooked neck and I kick him again, his chest isn't moving.
"Send in Iron Legion, hey kid?" When I don't answer he keeps talking, "Wanna help the people evacuate the city?" I nod before shuffling to find my bow, I clear my throat.
"I'm gonna need a ride."
He chuckles, "Look up." Before I know it he's got my hands in his and I'm flying.
"That'll be ten bucks." I thank him, he made my mood rise a bit.
"That was sweet." Natasha mocks as I tell people to run as far as they can.
"Miss? I'm here to help, come on." I'm helping an old woman to her car when I see a little boy running toward the fight, I dash and grab him.
I was running too fast so I have to tuck and roll.
"You okay buddy?" He nods and I send him on his way to his mom who thanks me. I send a smile in return.
"Clint's hit." I'm running before I can stop myself.
