DISCLIMER: DO NOT OWN ANYTHING.
The dial tone rang through her ear as she sat frozen, he hadn't called her since she had first got the phone. Her mind running through all the reasons that would cause the man to call her. The only one that made sense to her was that He was back. She could hear the muffled voices of Tony and Rhodey as they tried to ask if she was alright.
Shaking her head she turned to look at Rhodey who sat beside her, she cursed when she realized that her vision was starting to blur with the oncoming panic, "Kagome are you okay?"
Rhodey's voice was full of concern for her, she gave him a small smile and nodded her head not wanting to worry the man any more than she already had.
Rhodey looked over at Tony as they watched her answer the phone, her reaction causing them both to tense up which caused the other Avengers to tense. They stared at the girl watching her with concern. As they saw her eyes widen, "Kage's what's wrong?" Rhodey was the first to brake the since that they had created, see thing that she gave no indication that she had hear him Tony Joined in. " 'Gome are you okay?" When Tony got no response for her. He looked over at Rhodey in concern. In all the years that they had known her she had never acted this way.
Seeing that she was shaking her head the two knew that something had happened, Rhodey looked at her as she turned her head towards him, and looking in to her eyes he realized that they were slightly unfocused. His fists clenched, knowing that she was probably suffering from a panic attack like she used to.
Tony turned her chair around and kneeled down so he was eye level with her, noticing that she still wasn't focusing her eyes on him he looked over at Rhodey who nodded, before standing up. Tony stood up and reached for Kagome.
Kagome felt her chair turned and tried to focus on who had moved her chair, she could still hear that Thor was asking the others what was going on, while Banner tried to ask if they needed him to look her over. Realizing that something was casing the light to fade she flinched back, it was only when she was picked up that she felt the familiar feeling of the arc reactor against her shoulder that she realized it was Tony. Closing her eyes she tried to convince herself that it was just a prank call and that Hehadn't found out that she was still alive and well.
Rhodey opened the door to Tony's room, so Tony could place Kagome on the bed, once she was on the bed they turned to leave.
"Stay." They turned around at the sound of her voice, they had never heard her so quiet before, knowing that they couldn't leave her like this they both sat on either side of her and lied down with her in the middle.
"Jarvis would you let Peps know that Kags is fine and that we will be unable to return back to the table."
"Already done Sir."
Clint and Natasha stared at the two males who were walking away with Kagome. Even though they hadn't known her long they both felt that she was like them, hiding from the world that she had seen. Both had noticed that her eyes held the pain of finding out the world had teeth sharper then the blade of a knife. Clint and Natasha looked over at each other with concern knowing that when the girl was back up and running they would pull her aside, and talk to her. With the silent thought running through both their heads they agreed that they wouldn't let this one out of their sight.
Thor tried to figure out why the woman was so frightened. She was of holy blood and should not be so frightened when she had the power to eliminate a God. His eyes widened as he remembered the look in her eyes as she had stopped Tony from hitting the man they call Rhodey. He knew that she should not have been able to move that face even for one such as her. The look in her eyes reminded him of his friends when they came back from a nasty battle, the look was one of a seasoned warrior who had seen two much. He couldn't understand how the girl could see so much, for he knew she was not like his new team mates.
Banner sat quietly at the table knowing from what he had seen, that Kagome was probably having a panic attack, which to him made the most sense after the way she had looked when she had answered the phone, knowing that he wouldn't get any more information or answers he went back to eating.
Steve turned his head to Pepper concerned for the woman, he knew that she was in a relationship with Tony, seeing that she was also worried for the girl, he wondered what he relationship was to these people. And how she knew them, for when he had read Tony's file at S.H.I.L.E.D they had nothing on Kagome, what so ever which concerned him greatly. He decided that he was going to talk to Fury in the morning to see what he knew.
Pepper stared at the three as they walked away, she felt Steve's eyes on her, couldn't help but want to smile the poor man thought that Tony was cheating on her with Kagome, the thought of it made her want to laugh, because she knew for a fact that they saw each other as siblings, and would never cross that line. Returning to the matter at hand he was about to get up and follow the two men when Jarvis spoke.
"Ms. Potts Sir has informed me to tell you that Ms., Higurashi is fine, and they will not be able to rejoin you to finish dinner, as Ms. Higurashi wishes not to remain alone."
Pepper nodded knowing that Kagome would not want to remain alone. "Thank you Jarvis, would you mind telling me what room they are in?"
"They are in Sirs room Ms. Potts"
Nodding her head she turned to the others "Well if you excuse me I'm going to call it a night and I'll see you all in the morning," standing she walked down the hall to where Tony's room was, opening the door she smiled at the sight of the three friends curled up together. Getting two blankets from the closet she threw one over the three. Sitting down in a chair that was beside the bed she curled up after she placed the blanket over her and fell asleep watching over the three.
