Ashley's POV
"It is like taking care of children!" I shouted angrily as once again the puppies had pooped on the floor.
Steve was, on the couch, laughing, "Come on, honey. It is not that bad."
I glared at him, pausing in my efforts to clean it up, "Would you like to do this?"
He stopped laughing, glancing between the poop and the bag I was holding to pick it up, and sighed before walking over and kneeling down where I was kneeled as well.
Steve tried to kiss me but I moved away, still angry with him, so his head landed on my shoulder, "Who is Captain America without helping out his leading lady, right?" Steve pulled back, held his hand out for the bag, and I handed it to him. "Do you know who my leading lady is?" Steve smiled.
"Who?" I asked rolling my eyes.
Steve paused grinning, "Eliza, but you are a close second." He told me and I got up walking away from him. "Ashley, I'm kidding of course you are my number one."
I turned back to face him, stopping where I was, "You know, you once told me to remind you to never make me mad."
Steve paused looking bewildered, "That's right. Thanks for reminding me, beautiful."
Steve stood up, walked over to me, and kissed me before I could pull away. It was a nice kiss a 'thank you for being with me' kiss not an apology kiss.
"I'm sorry." Steve murmured against my lips. "You're my number one girl, always."
I pulled back smiling, "Great. Now go pick up that number two." I pointed at the poop and then took his place on the couch.
Steve shook his head with a laugh, knelt and started to pick up the poop. Hawk, who I didn't realize was behind us, made a whipping sound. I laughed and Steve just glared at him.
Nick Fury ran in the room then, "Umm… Ashley," He thought before pointing at me, "Agent Coulson is at a gas station just outside of New York and there are two guys with guns trying to get all the money from the cash register, will you help him?"
I stood up, "Sure. What is the address?" I asked.
Nicky quickly told me an address, handed me an earpiece, and then I only thought of the address before I apparated to the location. The next thing I saw was that I was crouched down next to the milk aisle in the inside of a gas station; several milks had been busted open and some were spilling on the ground from my arrival.
I stood up quickly and walked into a different aisle silently. Then, the black room took over.
Name: Agent Phillip Coulson
Name: Suzy O'Donnell
Age: 26
Height: 5'07 ft
Occupation: Muggle
Name: Gregory Odair
Age: 35
Height: 6'00 ft
Occupation: Muggle
Name: Steven Cresta
Age: 35
Height: 6'01 ft
Occupation: Muggle
After I came back, I knew that Steven and Gregory were the robbers, Suzy was the register lady; innocent bystander and Agent Coulson was a few aisles over from where I was standing. I also saw that the two robbers were slowly walking towards me, from all the commotion I made at the milk aisle.
I waited for Gregory to get to my aisle before I levitated the gun out of his hand and hit on the back of his head. Gregory fell immediately to the floor; knocked out.
"Gregg!" I heard Steven yell, he started to run to Gregory's aid but Agent Coulson quickly threw flour, from the aisle, in his eyes and kick his head so that he as too knocked out.
I walked over to Coulson, "Are you okay?"
He nodded, "Are you?"
"Yes, good job." I replied, turning to Suzy, "Sorry about the milk." I apologized before walking over to the aisle and cleaning up what I could with levitation.
"Great job, Ashley, bring the two men back here." Nick Fury said in my ear, I nodded.
When I walked back over to the register, Coulson was leaning across the counter and Suzy was blushing. I smirked and they looked over at me.
"Nick said we need to take the two men back, will there be other luggage?" I asked, pointedly at Suzy.
Coulson glance at Suzy, "Ignore my friend, Ashley. Please, feel free to call me if you ever need any help." Coulson kissed her hand.
Suzy giggled, "I definitely will, Agent Coulson."
Agent Coulson then turned to me, "Let's go."
"I called the police, they should be here any minute so shouldn't you stay?" Suzy asked, looking desperately at Coulson.
"I can't be here when they come." I interrupted shaking my head.
Coulson glanced between Suzy and me, "I must go with her. I am sorry, Suzy. When they ask, tell them that the girl with the lightning bolt scar from S.H.I.E.L.D. was here to help you."
Suzy nodded, "Will I see you again?"
"Of course." Coulson promised I levitated the two knocked out men out the doors behind me. "Goodbye, Suzy." He kissed her hand again before following me.
I stuffed the two men in the back of Coulson's car before getting up to sit in the front seat. "Coulson was getting his flirt on!" I taunted him.
"Shut up, witch, or I will make you fly home." Coulson replied.
"Can I?" I asked growing excited.
"No, stay in the car." Nick told me before Coulson said the same thing.
"Oh… What happened? Gregg, are you okay? Where am I?" Steve started to wake up.
"You're in a car going to the moon, enjoy the ride." I told him, suddenly noticing that we were very close to Stark Tower, and I could hear several laughs in my ear.
"A car headed to the moon? I didn't think that was possible." Steven looked completely confused.
Coulson glared at me, "It isn't. Steven you and Gregory are being taken to Stark Tower because you have just robbed a gas station."
"A gas station? Oh, yes, and then you knocked me out!" Steve said as we pulled into the Tower.
Then, several agents came to escort us into the Tower as many people tried to take pictures of me. Agent Coulson and I, after the agents took Steven and Gregory on a drive to the prison, took the elevator up to the conference room floor.
We walked into the room and Captain immediately walked over to me and tried to hug me, but I looked at his hands.
Steve laughed, "The mess is gone and I washed my hands three times."
I nodded before hugging him for a moment. Then, I turned to Nick Fury.
"A job well done, Ashley." Nick nodded.
A loud laugh filled the room, "Did you see how hard Coulson fell for that Suzy human?" Thor asked me.
I laughed, "He fell so hard!"
Coulson blushed, "Stop, you two." He waved Thor and me off.
I glanced at Thor before responding, "Come on, you know we are teasing."
"I know, but I actually like her." Coulson blushed again.
I skipped to his side and linked an arm with him, "Coulson's got himself a love interest!" I smiled at him.
The other superheroes clamped him on the shoulder and gave him encouraging advice. The next day, Nick Fury announced that Thor and I finally had a mission today.
Before we could ask what it was about, however, Catherine ran through the doors, "Turn on the television, Mr. Fury! Channel five!" Nick was confused along with everyone else, but he did as he was told.
"In other news today, the girl with the lightning bolt scar actually has a name! More in a minute," A picture of me flying on my board popped up on the screen, "This just in, the most eligible bachelorette actually does have a name: Ashley. We don't know a last name and this will defiantly be classified."
"How we got the name? Well, it all started in this gas station outside of New York; a woman at the cash register was held up by two robbers along with an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. The register lady said that girl's name was Ashley because she came to help her.
"Well, there you have it America, Ashley; the scarred telepath has been named. What will happen now? Will we ever recover her last name? What will Nick Fury and the rest of SHIELD do now? And to the men out there, are you happy you finally found out a name? Let us take some callers now…" The screen went black after Nick turned it off.
Nick Fury turned to me and just stared, "It is my fault, Nick," Agent Coulson spoke up, "I told Suzy her name when I was talking to her."
Nick turned to him, "How could you, Coulson?"
"I have no idea, I am sorry Nick." Agent Coulson started to take off his badge.
"I am sorry that I have to do this." Nick held out his hand for the badge.
"Wait a second!" I ran in front of Coulson. "You are going to fire him for this?"
"You shouldn't, Nick, Coulson is the one who found us all." Steve tried to reason with him.
"Yes, Coulson brought us all together." Bruce agreed. "I think he should stay."
"I agree with them and I am willing to fight for Agent Coulson." Hawkeye nodded coming to stand beside me.
"We are too." The rest of the avengers and some agents came in defense of Coulson.
"Alright fine, I won't fire him, but just be more careful next time?" Nick Fury said after seeing us and thinking for a moment.
"I will. Thank you all so much." Agent Coulson thanked us as Nick handed him his badge back.
"Yeah, yeah," Nick interrupted, "Thor and Ashley we need to get you two going or we will miss our chances."
"What are we doing?" Thor asked grabbing his hammer.
"Two of Loki's ships are coming in today, we have pin-pointed its location and now you two need to bring it down."
"Sounds easy enough." I shrugged.
"Well, there is a catch," Nick said looking at me, "You have to be captured."
"I'm sorry?" I asked.
"Absolutely not." Steve shook his head.
"Cap, just listen, because you are going to on this mission as well. You and Thor are going to disguise yourselves as soldiers so that when she is trapped you two can save her." Nick reasoned with him.
Steve seemed to be thinking he looked at Thor and me for a long time, "Fine."
"Good, come on you two we need to get going now." Nick said urgently.
Thor grabbed his hammer and instantly he was in his superhero outfit again. I pulled out my wand and pointed at my outfit and mine was changed into my superhero outfit as well. Nick gave us our earpieces and I hugged a pouting Steve before hitting my glove so that it made my board. Nick pushed a button and the windows opened to a huge door.
Thor commanded a cloud to come to his aid, to help him fly alongside me and we were ready. I mounted my board and flew out, waiting a minute for Nick to give us instructions.
"Okay! The blue flying ship is the one you need to get captured in as for the red, bring it down!" Nick yelled over the winds. Thor and I both nodded, "Alright, good luck!"
Nick Fury pushed the button again and the windows went back as they were. Thor and I glanced at each other before we flew at top speed out to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean; where we saw a huge fly red and blue hovercraft.
The ships seemed to notice us however, because the blue one threw a huge flame at us to which we both dodged. I flew quickly to the red hovercraft and flew all around it, under its belly, over its propellers, and stopped at its nose. I smiled at the pilot before the whole ship cut in half from my telepath. The ship fell into the water and we focused our attention on the blue ship.
Thor, from his cloud, commanded a huge burst of lighting to attack it.
"Get on that ship, Ashley!" Nick yelled in my ear. I nodded.
After that, I broke into one of the windows and started fighting on foot; hitting my board so that it went back to a glove on my hand. I got through many different men before a man caught me from around the back and handcuffed my arms together.
"Who is it?" The voice of Adam Andrews came into my ears. "Oh, hello, Ashley."
Before he could say anything else, Thor sent another burst of lighting at the ship and the ship shook.
"Call off your friend!" Andrews demanded of me.
"Take off the handcuffs." I replied, not fazed by his voice.
"Call him off or we will kill you right here." Andrews threatened.
"Do you honestly think I am scared of you?" I asked testing him.
"Thor come back." Nick Fury said in the earpiece and Thor was flying back to probably pick up Cap.
"Oh, look at that. He left you. I hope he knows what will happen to you now." Andrews put on a mock pity face. "Take this scum out of my sight! Interrogate her." He pointed to the back door.
The man that was still holding the handcuffs pushed me to walk. I was placed in a dark room with a table, light, and a chair; which I was pushed into. I sat comfortably as I could.
"Act unfazed, Ashley. No matter what they ask you, remain emotionless." Nick told me.
"You took out one of our ships," One man started walking to the table.
"There is no doubt that you have remarkable powers." The one who was holding me said.
"So we offer you a deal." The first man stopped.
"Are you two some kind of mind readers or something?" I asked.
They ignored that and talked together, "We offer you the deal of coming to our side."
"Really?" I raised an eye brow. "Why on Earth would I do that?"
Three more men came in and I saw that two of them were Thor and Steve in disguise in the same outfits, black on black, as the two guys who were in here before. The third man was Adam Andrews.
"Move out of the way," Andrews brought a chair and sat on the other side of the table.
"Hello, there. How is your stomach feeling?" I asked, remembering last time I knocked him out with a kick to the stomach.
Andrews glared at me, "Where were you?" He asked the two men, not looking at them.
"These two mean have just informed me that you would like me to join your team." I replied for them.
"Ah, yes," Andrews nodded. "So what did you say to that?"
"I think I might have said, 'Why on Earth would I do that?'" I replied leaning back in my chair.
Andrews motioned a hand, "Maybe this will persuade you."
A gun on a stick immediately came out of the ground beside me and pointed at my head. I glanced at it.
"A shot gun wow, I am so scared." I muttered sarcastically.
Andrews made the motion again, "What about this?" Another gun came out of the ground pointed at my heart.
"Now I am terrified, two shot guns, oh here comes a third!" I replied as he made the motion many more times and guns flew out of the ground everywhere."Okay, now I am a little impressed, a cannon?" I asked as a cannon appeared in the mist of the guns.
"You are scared now, aren't you?"
I shook my head, "Not really, when I can just do this." With my words, all of the guns and cannon pointed at the men and Andrews; but not Thor and Cap.
"What do you want?" Andrews asked, looking at the gun at his head.
"No sense hiding in these anymore." I took off the handcuffs without difficulty. "I am going to ask you this one time and one time only. Will you stop Loki and save yourself from being killed in the end?" I asked clearly, prepared to fight.
"No." Andrews replied, shaking his head.
As soon as he said that, Cap, Thor, and I all started to fight. It was easy because there were only five people in the room. As we finished, I ran to hug Steve and he hugged me back before the alarm went off. We broke apart and ran to opening a door in the room that lead out of the hovercraft.
"Ashley, it would have never worked out between us as a couple." Thor said before jumping out of the door after summoning a cloud for him to land on.
"What?" I asked completely confused before I hit the back of my hand.
The board assembled immediately and I pulled Steve behind me before we flew out of the door. I realized we were over ground in small town, somewhere probably in Maine.
"Feel free to take it down now, Ashley." Nick said in my ear.
I nodded to nothing, gripped Steve tighter around me, before I took down the blue ship the same way as the red ship. Then, I flew back down to ground; landing near a small diner beside Thor. The hovercraft crashed into two pieces in the field of grass across from the diner.
"We should call the fire-department for that." Steve said as we all stared at the ship.
"Okay, what do you expect us to do? Walk into the fire-department and say we just brought down a hovercraft because we are superheroes and we just do that kind of thing?" Thor asked sarcastically.
"No, but this needs to be fixed." Steve motioned to the fire raging.
"Calm down, you two." I said before walking over to the diner and entering it.
The poor people in their looked shocked, star-struck, and more shock as I learned all of their names when the dark room hit. I walked up to the hostess table; where a waitress was talking to the hostess as if nothing was happening outside.
"Excuse me?" I asked they both looked at me, "I'm sorry. Do you have a telephone?" I asked the hostess. I saw that the boys were walking in behind me.
The hostess stared at me, her mouth agape, and then she looked at Thor and Captain America. "…Y…Yes we do." She stuttered.
The waitress hit her arm, "Yes, we do, but it will cost you." She asked pointedly at the two men behind me. I glared at her and then turned around.
I motioned to the girls and the men looked confused, "Give them an autograph or show them your abs." I told them.
"Why would we do that?" Steve looked self conscious.
"Because they are girls, honey, and I can tell what they want." I told him, feeling odd about Steve showing someone else his body when he belonged to me.
Thor, however, all but tore off his shirt; walking towards the two ladies and flexing. I rolled my eyes as the two girls admired him but then the waitress looked at Steve.
"What about you?" The girl named, Rachel asked.
Steve glanced at me before tearing off the sleeves of his soldier disguise and walking forward. I couldn't look as Rachel's hands curved around his muscles. Steve looked disgusted as well as he looked away as well.
After a few minutes of this, I thought the payment was done and both girls' hands were starting to
"Can we have that phone now?" I asked my question coming about harsher than I intended it to be.
The hostess, Lindsey, nodded kindly, "I forgot. Yes, let me go get it." She tore her eyes away from Thor and walked to go get a black telephone.
"Well I can't touch it." I stepped away from the phone.
"Why not?" Steve seemed puzzled.
"Do you remember what happened to the laptop?" I asked worriedly.
"Oh, yes." Steve nodded grabbing the phone, walking behind me so that Rachel would stop touch him. He dialed a number. "Hello? Yes, Hi. My name is Captain America and my team and I have just made a huge fire outside of a diner…" Steve started. "Yes, thank you. Hurry!" Steve ended the call and gave the phone back to Lindsey.
"We should get going." I told them.
"You two can go, I'll stay here." Thor replied.
"Thor…" I whispered but he cut me off.
"Seriously, someone needs to stay here to talk to the police about what happened. You two can go. It's alright." Thor grinned as Rachel started to touch him again.
I glanced at Steve, "I suppose so."
"If you need any help just call." Steve pointed to the earpiece. Thor nodded.
"See you kids later." Thor smiled and shooed us out.
We both nodded and walked outside before I hit the glove and it started to form into a board. Then, we both stood on the board and I started to fly. I flew slower this time since we had nowhere to be.
"Do you think we should have left him?" I asked Steve after a few minutes of silence.
"I don't know." Steve replied, tightening his arms around my waist, and place a head on my shoulder.
I sighed, "Do you think we should go back?"
"No, I think we should let him do this himself. We will be back in a minute if he can't handle it." Steve reassured me, kissing my shoulder.
I nodded, "Okay."
"I'm sorry about the muscles thing." Steve apologized.
I turned to him, "Why? It wasn't your fault. I'm not mad at you."
"Really?" Steve asked.
"Really, now if you would've taken off your shirt. Then, we would've had a problem, but you didn't so I am not mad at you." I replied smiling before turning my eyes back to the sky.
Steve laughed in my ear, "I knew it would make you mad, so that is why I didn't."
"Well then great job, Cap." I replied with a smile, rubbing a hand over his forearms.
"Thank you, but you know it is my job to help people and keep my number one happy." Steve kissed my cheek.
I laughed, "Don't push it. You are not that perfect." I joked with him and Steve laughed again.
The rest of the ride went a lot like this, just joking and having fun while I flew us both back to Stark Tower. When we got back, it was almost seven o'clock because after all we were in Maine and it took a while because I wasn't flying very fast. I went to sleep at eight because I was exhausted from flying.
-The next day -
"Why do I have to do this?" I asked Nick Fury.
We were currently backstage at a television show called Helen. Nick had dragged us down here that morning for Hawkeye and me to do our first televised interview.
"Because your name is out." Nick replied suddenly tired.
"But you are the one who always says to hide me." I replied confused.
"Just please, do what I say today, but whatever you do don't reveal your last name." Nick walked out of my dressing room.
I rolled my eyes at his back, "Come on let's get you dressed." Pepper said.
Steve kissed me before walking out of the room. Pepper and Eliza put me in a simple outfit; grey boots, black jeans, a thin-striped red and pink shirt, and a black-brown vest.
"Hawkeye and Ashley on in thirty seconds." The intercom said backstage as soon as I walked out of my dressing room.
"Come on superheroes, please! We need to get on now." A backstage worker hurried us to the place we were supposed to be walking out.
Hawkeye touched my arm before we walked out as the dark room was telling me who all was out in the audience.
"Hawkeye and Ashley!" Helen announced us and we walked out.
It was odd, seeing so many people cheering for me just because I was doing what is right. As soon as I came into view, the men in the studio cheered and clapped louder as well as many women. Hawkeye and I greeted Helen before sitting down on the chairs put out for us. I took a deep breath.
"Hello! Can I just say how honored I am to have you two in here?" Helen started.
"Thank you, we are happy to be here as well." Hawkeye nodded smiling.
"Great, well you all should know who these two people sitting here are. Ashley," Helen touched my knee, "has saved the world many times with her telepathy and martial art skills. Hawkeye is the best archer I have ever seen in my life plus he is not too bad with man to man contact as well." Helen said and the crowd cheered.
I smiled, "Thank you. That is very nice of you to say."
Helen smiled at me, "Well you're welcome, but it is very nice of you to save people you don't even know."
"I am just doing what needs to be done." I shrugged.
"She does a great job at it, doesn't she?" Hawkeye asked the crowd grabbing my hand for comfort; the crowd cheered in agreement.
I thanked them, "Well, let's get these questions started. When you two first got your powers did you gloat at all?" Helen asked us.
I looked at Hawkeye, "I didn't really. Just because I can't really gloat archery very much, unless you would like me to shot an apple off your head with an arrow." Hawkeye shrugged. "Did you, Ash?"
"I did a little bit," I replied sheepishly.
"You did, what did you do?" Hawkeye asked.
"Well, I didn't gloat it to other people, what I mean is I just practiced." I shrugged.
"Practiced how?" Helen asked. "On people you didn't like?"
"No, nothing like that. I would sneak out of my house at night, go to the cafeteria at my school, and arrange the tables and chairs in a row of me; and then just walk through them. Admiring the fact that they would move without me touching them." I replied.
"Did you really?" Hawkeye asked laughing.
"Would you ever show other people?" Helen pressed on.
"No, I wouldn't run up to people and be like, 'Hey! Check this out!' No, nothing like that." I shook my head.
"Superheroes have to say that." Hawkeye teased. "Ashley did go up to random people and levitate things."
I laughed, "Yes, I completely did. I would run up to bullies and bet that I could throw them into a tree and then I would proceed to put them in a tree. Yes, that would happen." I joked sarcastically.
Helen laughed, "When their parents came by, 'Oh! I don't know how they got in there!'"
I laughed nodding, "What? Carl is stuck in a tree; well I was just over there by the swing set. No, I didn't do that."
Hawkeye laughed as well squeezing my hand, "I could see you doing that."
I laughed, "You could?" Hawkeye nodded, "Well thanks a lot, Hawk." I muttered sarcastically. The crowd laughed at our conversation.
"Wow that is funny. Well, I must admit that I am pretty amazed by you two. Because, honestly, I thought you two would be up tight and arrogant almost, but you are not. You two are funny, amusing, and just happen to be able to do remarkably incredible things." Helen nodded looking pleasantly surprised.
"Thank you." I replied.
"We get that a lot." Hawkeye nodded smiling. "We must be so nice." He joked with me.
I laughed, "Great job, Hawk." We high-fived each other.
Helen laughed again, "I'm serious though, can you all believe how relaxed and funny these two are?" She asked the crowd; several people shook their heads. "It makes me wonder what life is like living with the Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor along with many other agents."
I glanced at Hawk, "It is kind of like this." I shrugged.
"Yes, we are just a family; just an odd one that fights crimes and saves the Earth." Hawkeye nodded.
"Are you all really this chill?" Helen asked.
"Yes," I replied with a shrug, "Like Hawk said we are a family that happens to have a man that turns green," I shrugged and the audience laughed, "And when it comes to saving the world it is just like fun for us because we are always kept indoors."
"I agree. We fight as a family, we live together, we eat together, and when it is time for some ass-kicking we do that together too." Hawkeye nodded.
"Are you allowed to say ass?" I asked him, whispering.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Helen." Hawkeye covered his mouth.
Helen shrugged, "Well you both just said it so, it doesn't matter much now right?"
We both laughed, "Sorry." We apologized.
"What is the hardest mission you two have been on?" Helen asked.
Hawk and I hesitated before answering, this could be classified information.
"I would say definitely one where we all go and not just one or two." Hawkeye replied smartly.
"That's a good answer, I agree with that." I complemented him, Hawk thanked me.
Helen seemed upset but didn't push it, "So, we are not going to get a last name are we?" She asked me.
I smiled, "Nope, I'm sorry. You will not be getting a last name." I shrugged apologetically.
"That is too bad, but I am afraid our time is up anyway," Helen said, "Thank you two so much for your being here on your first televised interview. Ladies and gentlemen; Hawkeye and Ashley!" Helen announced. The crowd cheered loudly as we walked off to backstage again.
I smiled at Hawkeye, "Great job."
He nodded, "You two." He squeezed my hand that was still linked together with his.
"Great job you two. That was fantastic." Nick complemented us when we reached the group.
The rest of the day went like that as we went home as a family.
