(Steve's POV)-

Tony led me away from Ava's room to our conference room. I decided to find something I had been waiting to find out ever since Ava got here. "You didn't just recommend her because of her credentials, did you?"

He pulled out some blueberries he had in his pocket. "We're friends, she has good credentials…. You know how it goes."

"Tell the truth, Stark." I stopped right in the middle of the hallway.

"Fine, you want the truth? I'll give it to you. I recommended her for you!"

"Why?"

He shook his head. "Don't pretend like you don't know why. I see the way you two look at each other. You are a lonely man. You need a woman in your life." I couldn't believe it. Tony doing this for me? Tony?

"Thanks, Tony."

He shrugged. "Hey, it's less expensive than building you an android woman."

I gave him a weird look. "Please tell me you never considered that."

"It crossed my mind once or twice." He then started walking again and I shook my head. Typical Tony.

(Ava's POV)-

After about an hour, I was almost done packing. My phone rang and it was my mom. "Hey, mom."

"Hey, I heard about your new job."

Really? "You did?"

"Yes. Aren't you a secretary for Tony?" Oh, that makes more sense. Of course. They said I couldn't tell anyone, so Tony told her I was his secretary.

"Oh, yes. Sorry I haven't gotten a chance to tell you."

"It's fine. I heard you've moved into one of his condos?"

"Yeah, it's really nice." At that, I looked around my room.

"Well, I gotta go. Love ya!"

"Love you too." I then hung up. I flopped down onto my bed and grabbed a book. I started reading, and by the time I was halfway through the book, there was knocking at my door. "Yes?"

"It's me, Steve."

"Just a second." I put my book down and opened the door. "Hey, Steve. What's up?"

"It's dinnertime." He looked around my room. "Wow, your room looks nice."

I smiled. "Thanks." He then pointed to one of my posters.

"A fan of Star Wars?" I nodded. "Yep. I'm assuming you've never seen it?"

He shook his head. "It's on my catch up list."

I smiled. "Well, you should definitely watch it soon." He nodded. We walked to dinner together. Dinner was…..interesting. It was certainly filled with a lot of laughs. These guys were born to be a family. I went to bed at about 10 pm.

…..

"Should I even bother asking what this does?" I held up one of Tony's devices.

"Don't touch that!"

"I guess that's a yes," I remarked.

"This will vaporize you in a second."

"Oh. Fun. Good thing you don't have kids."

"Yeah, good thing." I think I accidentally hit a soft spot.

"I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry."

He ignored my apology. "So, how are things with the senior citizen?"

"Who?"

"You know, Cap."

"Ah. Things are fine. He's a really great leader. And you guys are really great people. You guys are lucky to have each other."

He nodded and started fiddling with one of his devices. "Is that all?"

I rolled my eyes and smiled. "Oh, stop it."

We were in Tony's lab, and I was picking out equipment for training. He helped me pick out about 10 items, and I was ready. I started with individual training. Wanda was the last to go. She was supposed to concentrate on her powers and redirect the arrow I was going to shoot. I shot it…..and she accidentally made it go through me. I felt a splitting pain as it hit me in the chest. I cried out, and heard everyone rushing over as I hit the ground. I vaguely remember Vision picking me up and taking me to the hospital wing.
