I own nothing.

Is this supposed to make me feel like I'm standing trial? She thought as she sat in the seat. Everyone began eating and Elena was instantly glad that they would let her eat before making her talk.

Elena frowned 20 minutes later when she noticed that everyone had finished eating and were now all watching her. She put down her fork and looked at the assembled group who looked right back at her.

"Well gang, let's begin shall we? Remember, one question each." Tony stated with a smirk at Elena. She glared at him for not telling her this part of the evening and frowned slightly when she felt a twinge.

"So, is the better than normal eyesight the only power you posses?" Bruce asked

"No."

"Where are you from?" Pietro asked

"Georgia."

"Why doesn't SHIELD have a file on you?" Natasha asked

"Because there's almost nothing about me on paper."

"How'd you manage that?" Wanda asked

"My mother homeschooled me and never let me go to college or University. My only job was at a small diner and my apartment is a pile of shit because I'm practically broke. I'm not someone who draws attention to myself."

"Then how did you get Tony's attention?" Clint asked

"How am I supposed to know? One minute I was in a bakery eating a donut, the next I ran into an ally, and then I spent the day walking around the city only to have him standing in my living room when I got back." She frowned again when the twinge happened again. She started flexing her shoulder blades in an attempt to make the wings stay inside of her back until she could get to her room.

"Why did you run into an ally?" Sam asked

"Because... I felt someone watching me and I wanted some privacy from the crowded bakery." That wasn't a complete lie, just didn't mention why I wanted the privacy from the people in the bakery.

"What is your IQ?" Thor asked, everyone groaned at the question

"Thor, we're supposed to try and figure out what kind of person she is, that is such a stupid question when we can test her without her knowledge." Clint moaned

"Sorry, I shall ask another."

"105, my IQ is 105!" Elena rushed out before he could ask another question, everyone looked at her and a few rolled their eyes, but the others smiled.

"What is your most embarrassing memory?" Loki asked looking for blackmail. Everyone leaned forward in their seats slightly when she blushed hard.

"Um... when I was 14 I accidentally flashed 15 of my sister's friends at my house." Loki raised an eyebrow and indicated for her to continue. "My shirt basically disappeared and my skirt didn't hide much. My sister joined them in laughing at my expense." Most of them frowned at that.

"You don't get along with your family do you?" Steve asked, Elena felt a twinge again, only it was stronger this time and so she tried to hurry the questioning along. She'd never had to hold it in this long and wasn't certain what the repercussions of such an action would be.

"No, they disowned me. My parents didn't want me, I was an accident but they couldn't get rid of me because of public image." She blurted in a rush, Tony saw the panicked look in her eyes and decided to help her out.

"So, do you like pizza?" Everyone looked at Tony at his question and he shrugged. "I'm bored and she looks tired."

"I love pizza."

"Have you ever killed anyone?" Bucky asked

"Not that I know of," She blurted "Can I go now? I'm really quite tired." She asked quickly, she couldn't hold of the wince as the pain began. It looked like this one was going to be a painful one.

"Are you feeling alright?" Bruce asked going into doctor mode.

"Fine!" She yelled before blushing.

"Go ahead and go." Tony said quickly

"Tony?" Steve asked. Elena got up and almost fell back down from the pain that spiked to an all time high.

"Thank you for dinner, it was great, have a nice night." She rushed, never forgetting her manners. She turned and started to run from the room but the pain tore through her back and she let out a scream. Everyone was up and looking at her by this point.

"Tony, is this going to be dangerous?" Natasha asked

"No, it will just be painful for her. Hey might I suggest removing the plaid shirt, that way you don't ruin it?" Elena tore the plaid shirt off and luckily managed to not do any damage to it. She hard gasps from behind her.

"Why does she have those?" Bruce asked referring to the two straight scars that were placed just beside her shoulder blades. They were very bad because of the fact that they opened every time her wings came out. It only ever hurt if it was involuntarily or held back for too long, as she was about to demonstrate.

"That would be because of her abilities." Tony stated, he sounded a lot closer and when Elena looked up from her place on the floor she was looking into Tony's eyes. Her hands grabbed around trying to find purchase and he allowed her to take hold of his hands. She squeezed them and he winced slightly, then she felt the wings sprout from her back. They spanned out and she panted as she tried to pull them back towards her body.

"Holy shit, she has wings." Was Clint's oh so eloquent response and what broke the silence from the shock of not only the wings but the fact that Tony volunteered himself to help Elena get through the pain.

"I guess the secrets out huh?" Elena asked

"Yeah, guess so. On the bright side, I don't think you ripped your shirt much." She huffed a laugh and he helped her stand. They turned to look at the team, who stood with gaping mouths and surprised expressions.

"They're beautiful." Wanda whispered. Elena thought of her wings. They were black and large. They curled at the top and had small talons and the feathers were very soft. They were quite the sight, but Elena only saw them as beautiful when they weren't causing her immense pain. The group made their way over to the small sitting area on that floor and everyone sat. Tony sat with Elena on the smallest couch and everyone else sat on different chairs and couches scattered around the room.

"Does it always hurt that much? I mean I assume that hurt." Steve stuttered out

"No it doesn't. Usually it's just the feeling of a few pin pricks when the scars open. I don't know why, but sometime they just hurt more. It only ever hurts more when it's spontaneous or held back and it just feels like being pinched when it's voluntary."

"Can you get rid of them whenever you want? Or bring them out whenever you want?" Sam asked with obvious excitement to not be the only one with wings anymore.

"I can bring them out whenever I want, but sometimes they decide they need to stretch and come out against my will. I can usually put them away when I want but when I didn't want them to come out in the first place they need to go back on their own."

"Have you always had them?" Loki asked, he seemed curious to the logistics of it all and was examining the wings without touching from the seat he'd claimed closest to her.

"Yup, it's why I was homeschooled and what made me flash my sister's friends. Tighter shirts tend to rip in a circle whereas flowing or loose shirts tear up and down. Then I got nervous and they began flapping which made me fly, and I was wearing a skirt, so yeah... now when I wear a skirt I wear shorts under them."

"Not gonna' lie; it's a cool party trick. Does this have anything to do with your improved sight?" Clint asked

"Yeah, I got birds eyes to go with the wings."

"I think they're more like angels wings over bird wings." Tony whispered, Elena blushed and everyone looked at Tony in confusion, except Bucky who snorted.

"That was bad Stark."

"It was amazing." He defended

"It was interesting..." Elena chimed in

"What was it?"

"Not telling" All three chorused, everyone groaned and Loki smirked.

"He's not wrong about it though." Everyone looked at Loki who smirked. "I was curious and your minds are so easy to read. Those thoughts are quite interesting Tony, but I think their target only has ones that are being denied at the moment." Tony blushed and everyone was left wondering exactly what thoughts Loki was speaking of.

"Well, I'm just going to have to change that then..." Loki smirked at him and Elena felt her wings receding. A few short questions later and everyone parted ways to go to bed or the lab or the library.
