A new team 17
(Previously)
Everyone is silent gathering their thoughts on what they just saw.
(Present)
"It's quite surprising ... when I first saw Skye I would of never thought she had been through abuse. She carries herself differently." Says Steve still in shock , Tony crossed his arms " I don't know about the rest of you but now I feel very protective of her. And I would love to blast Jacob Peters." Everyone mutely nodded before saying " By Valhalla no child should endure such treatment and certainly not a girl let alone a princess. In Asgard such offenses would result in immediate death and said child would be given a chance at a higher status. I wish personally to have at this man." Says Thor quite displeased with mid guards justice system ,Natasha sighed " It explains her resistance to trust anyone new... But she seems to have a gift to determine who she can put her faith in... She trusts Steve , Thor , Bruce, agents Ward, May, Fitzsimmons and Agent Colson... And she seems to sympathize with Clint and my's background." Clint frowned " poor kid... But I give her five stars at how well she has hidden it . I personally call putting a arrow in the next person who emotionally or physically hurts her... Which will most likely be Loki."
Grant spoke impassively " She won't allow that... She may act like she hates Loki and to be honest I probably would to if I went through what she did ... Actually I did but that's not the point . Skye is gentle , kind and Forgiving and she would never let us kill her father, if anyone will hurt her father it will be her because she will protect him if he is in immediate danger. She is stubborn and still reckless as a rookie but she is also mentally mature. Basically Loki can't be harmed if she doesn't want it ... " and Bruce speaks " I agree with Grant she protects and puts others before herself . She trusts us because she knows we will do what's right, so who's going to talk with her first? I vote going after she is calm because I prefer the other guy not have to meet her if she gets mad and uses her powers ." Grant sighs " I will talk to her ... Feel free to come up when you guys think it's safe." he leaves the lab and enters the elevator . Stark spoke " Nat... Can she become a Avenger? I mean she has powers and has already started fixing how we treat each other for the better ... She wants to protect anyone she can ... Would she qualify?" Everyone held their breaths as Natasha furrowed her brows in thought before
she spoke " clause D states that if at least four Avengers state that said person is qualified to join ... SHIELD can't legally stop anyone from becoming a Avenger since now Avengers are pretty much funded by Stark... We would have to classify her as a Junior Avenger till she has fully learned to control all her powers. But in essence Yes Skye can be a Avenger... If she was like Clint or I with no powers than shield could use article 7 to pull her into Shield." Clint smiled " A Junior Avenger sweet! Hey Nat that means you would get the younger sister you always wanted." the archer was silence with a nice elbow hit to the ribs making him grunt. " We would be able to protect her from the so called PROTECTORS as well t... I am all for it ...she has a lot of optional and wisdom.. Thor what do you think?" Thor rubbed his chin in thought before replying " I wish only to protect my niece, I support whatever decision she makes."
Skye knew Grant would find her and she decided that hiding wouldn't solve her problems so she started looking up Manhattan Barber and light shop on Main Street , and with the help of Jarvis she started looking through that businesses records. Grant found her about ten minutes later and he is knows that she is aware of his presence, he sighed " You know a few of us went through the same stuff in our pasts, my father was abusive and my older brother was just as wicked, he kept me from helping my younger brother who ended up dying because I couldn't help him." Skye concentrated on the screen in front of her putting up her emotionless demeanor and quietly replied " I don't want to talk about it." Grant frowned but replied " You don't have to become a robot rookie... That's my job... Please be your normal self everyone has grown attached to you and it's not easy for half the avengers to trust people." Skye stopped clicking buttons on the screen and with a small smile she turned around " Grant... Really I am fine... I just felt that you guys needed to know what I saw."
Skye gave her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek before whispering " Want to go swimming?" He nodded and seconds later Ward and Skye were at their room doors to which they entered before meeting at the pool in their swimwear. " you know I need to time you on how long you can comfortably hold your breath and work from there." Says Grant with a smirk as he rushes Skye intent on pushing her into the water but she disappears and he ends up face first in the pool quite displeased " You okay Grant?" she says hands on her hips with a smirk upon her face, and he frowned " That's not fair! Get in here I might as well start training you how to hold your breath longer." Skye puts a toe in the water and scrunches up her nose in distaste saying " It's cold... Fine" she sees Ward's amused face as she whines about how cold it is as she swims over to him ... Her eyes turn green and suddenly she stops shaking " Never mind... Okay lets do th-" she couldn't finish because he found herself dunk under water.
Skye came up gasping for breath glaring at Grant " If I didn't love you I would probably zap you... A warning next time would be better." Ward raised a eyebrow before replying "hahaha now we can start come on hold your breath." Skye giggled as he accidentally tickled her before she was dunked again. Skye and Ward went underneath into the water looking at each other holding their breaths. Skye stayed under for a minute before she went up for air, Ward came up with her and replied " okay to be a agent you have to be able to hold your breath for at least two and a half minutes ... Lets see how much we can get you to improve." reassuring her with a small smile.
A hour later Grant and Skye were still in the pool but were relaxing now, Steve, Bruce,Thor, Nat, Clint and Tony are all watching the television when Steve finally spoke " Jarvis where is Skye and agent Ward?" The AI replied " They are currently relaxing in the pool Captain Rogers." Nat shook her head and Clint speaks " I bet you ten bucks they were training before they started relaxing." Bruce smirked and replied " I bet you she was the one to come up with the pool idea." Everyone nods in agreement before Tony says " Ehh who wants to eat out tonight? My treat." Everyone smiled and the billionaire left to make reservations for everyone at a nearby restaurant. Everyone else decided to go down to the pool and see what Skye and Grant were doing.
Three hours later Tony pulled everyone together and said " Okay dinner reservations are in forty five minutes Natasha your driving my Ferrari and taking Skye, Ward and Thor , Colson your Driving my Mercedes taking May and Bruce and Simmons . Fitz your with Clint, pepper and I in my silver sports car... Steve your driving your motorcycle . Let's go ."
Everyone nodded and went with there designated groups, everyone was in a little bit over casual clothing but still comfortable, everyone pulled up at the restaurant at the same time and they had Valet take the cars as they all entered. It was a lovely dinner everyone getting to know each other better the avengers were surprised that Skye hacked into Shield with only a laptop. On the way out Skye asked if she could site see around New York Manhattan and Colson was opposed to the idea but after Steve, Ward, Thor, Natasha and Clint said they were going to go with her he gave his consent. " So Skye have you ever been in New York before the past couple of days?"asks Clint and the Hacker nods " I came to a museum in New York City when I was placed at a nearby orphanage ... I kinda didn't stay in one place for very long. Where did everyone else grow up?" she asks and Steve replied " Brooklyn" " Russia" says Nat. " same as you Skye ... Everywhere" says Clint, Bruce shrugged " Washington for the most part then everywhere." And Thor smirked " Asgard of coarse." And Skye smiled.
They walked down Main Street and Skye froze as she saw a unwelcome face.
