_Tony_
I looked at the screen. The girl on it, was in a solitary confinement room was 60 feet squared, with pure white walls. A chair was bolted into the center of the room with the girl.
I had no idea why the girl was there. Director Fury had called and demanded that I come straight to HQ. I was reluctant, but Fury finally convinced me by striking my curiosity. (And all the avengers were being called so what choice did I have) When I arrived at HQ . I found the briefing room set up with a holographic touch screen. I flopped in the nearest chair and seeing as for once that i was the first person there i made my self comfortable as i waited for the rest of the avengers to come from various places across the globe.
I looked back at the screen, the girl on it was about 15 or 16 years old, and even though she was sitting, I could tell she was tall. She was thin, not quite in an unhealthy way, but close. The hospital gown was way too big for her making her look skinnier than she was. Her eyes were an ice blue, unlike any he had seen before, and even though she was only on a screen, he could feel her gaze on him. they seemed to have a dead look to them. Tony involuntarily shivered.
((AN: sorry for the pov change here T^T))
There were two features that were really unusual about her. First was her hair, it was white, pure white like freshly fallen snow. It was short, wild and framed her face. The second thing was her lips. At first I didn't notice it, enlarged the screen. Then I saw the scars. Someone had sewn her lips closed at one point. I couldn't help but wince, that had to hurt.
Tony sat back in his comfy chair looking at the screen, watching the strange girl. He picked up a pen and bit the end of it as his genius brain whizzed with questions Why was she here? What caused SHIELD to put her in solitary? Why was she even involved with SHIELD?
His thoughts were interrupted by the opening of the door. In came Natasha and Clint, followed by Bruce who was in turn followed by Steve. He couldn't help but smile; as much as he hated to admit it after a much needed break from them he had started to miss these guys. People don't go through something like New York without changing just a little.
"Hey," Tony said with a smile, he did a mental head count "Where's Thor?" he asked.
"He'll be here within the next week." Natasha replied taking a seat around the big table in the middle of the room. Clint went to stand be behind her, placing his hand on the edge of Natasha's chair. Tony sighed internally, sometime Clint and Natasha acted like a married couple but whenever he tried to play the wing-man they were like boulders in a riptide.
"So. Does anyone know why the avengers were gathered? It's about this girl right?" Bruce asked. Clint nodded. Tony raised an eyebrow.
"Fury called us here because of a little girl?"
"Yes I did" came the director's voice.
Nick Fury walked in the room. Annoyed Tony asked, "Why did you pull me here because of a little girl?"
Fury pulled out a file and an open letter and threw them on the table. Tony grabbed the file and letter. He opened the file there was a picture of the girl and a sheet of paper. The paper was covered mostly with basic info, like height, and physical health. The only other piece of info was that she had memory loss, and is unable to answer most questions asked.
" Rose?" Bruce read out loud. he had come over to read the file over Tony's shoulder.
"Yes the only useful answer we could get from her."
Tony turned his attention to the letter. Tony opened the letter. The words were brief but sudden. What? Tony looked at Fury. Bruce's brow furrowed. Steve took the letter Tony had placed on the table, and read it; his reaction was the same as theirs. Natasha and Clint had presumably already read the letter.
"Save Me?" Steve muttered reading the letter out loud.
"This came a week ago, The girl the day after. we could not trace the letter, for all we know it came from nowhere." Fury said crossing his arms.
"So it would be same to infer that whoever sent this letter also left this girl?" Steve said.
Fury nodded "As far we know."
Tony looked up, "She was left here? Isn't this place un-findable," Fury raised his eyebrow, "unless you know its here?"
"I know, even if the sender of the letter is not the same person who left the girl, this is a major security breach." Fury said. "And her power, is also a problem."
"Power?" Tony echoed.
"When she first got here she panicked, she took out ten of our best agents before we were able to sedate her. " Natasha explained.
"Wow" Tony, Bruce and Steve said in unison.
"She calmed down, after a day or two, but we have to keep her in solitary confinement, just incase."
"Have you been able to talk to her?" Bruce asked
"Yes only once, I went in, and asked some questions, but all I was really able to get out of her was her name. " Natasha replied.
"Were you able to find out about her scars?"
"No, she said she couldn't remember." Natasha looked sadly at the girl on the screen.
"Will we just protect this girl for the time being?" Steve asked Fury.
"Yes, but right now I want everyone to remain skeptical, this could easily blow up in our faces."
Tony looked at the screen, and paused as he saw the girl, on it looking at the camera that allowed them to watch her. How is she doing that? There was no way she could see the camera. He was about to open his mouth to say something when she smiled, it was haunting, maybe it was just the scars, but her smile put his nerves on edge. It was a sad, smile, like the one a dieing love one would give on their death bed. Everyone saw the smile, and now the Avengers were totally focused on the screen.
_Rose_
Rose smiled slowly looking at the security camera. She knew it was there, how she didn't know, she just did. To think of it she didn't know much. She had no memory of anything before waking up here and beating up a bunch of people. She didn't mean to, she was scared and wasn't thinking. She truly wanted to answer the nice red haired lady, but she didn't have many answers. She knew her name, Rose. Rose's are a type of flower, one with thorns. She was 16, she had just turned 16, and she knew her birthday was in the fall/early winter. She had a brother. That's new, since when did she have a brother? I wonder what he's like… slowly she felt her lips. they had sewn shut once, she couldn't remember why.
_Tony_
Tony Walked through the door; after seeing that smile he had made up his mind. He wanted to meet this girl. There was some thing about her that drew him to her.
He continued to walk up to the girl ignoring the warnings from behind him. When he got closer to the girl he slowed. He keeled down to be eye level with the girl.
"Hay, I'm Tony, its nice to meet you ." he spoke softly.
The girl looked at him. She looked into Tony's eyes. What he saw there was not what he had expected. He saw despair, he was briefly taken aback, this was not what he had been expecting, he didnt know what he was expecting, but not the sadness and despair that where held in her ice blue eyes
"Rose? Are you alright?" he asked, looking at this girl trying to see the gears working in her head. The girl looked at him, tears forming in her eyes. "I didn't want to…" she muttered "Help me."
She fell forward out her chair her eyelids fluttering closed over icey eyes.
Before she could hit the ground Tony caught her. He lifted her up bridal style like she weighed nothing. He carried the girl over to the others. He made eye contact with Banner knowing he was probably the best person to help out with the girl.
"Bruce..."
Bruce nodded immediately. Tony rarely used that tone with him. Bruce knew that he was dead serious.
