Luna's POV
We walk through the forest, looking for any sign that could get us off this dang island. "Does anybody know where we are heading?" Tony asks from behind. I can hear falcon swear under his breath as he swats away the bugs. I shook my head 'no' at Tony's previous question, Marie and I stiffening as I did so. I hate doing it, but lying is to them is the best thing to do right now.
I am about to start a telepathic link with Marie, when Clint asks me a question. "So how do you… you know?" I turn around just as he points to his head. "Are you asking about how I live in her mind, or fire hair?" I ask back with a smile. He throws me one back, before someone coughs. Clint turns around and my gaze goes to Steve who's standing there awkwardly. "We need to stop for the night, if that's alright with you ma'am." Steve asks politely. I look over Marie, my eyes showing the fear I don't want the team to see, and all she gives me is a curt nod of her head. I turn back around. "Alright." I say hoping they don't hear how it cracks. I walk over to Steve, already knowing that Marie is following. Steve leads us to where the rest of the team stopped. Scott is the first to see us return, running up to us with a smile.
"So... you're amber eyes. Let me introduce myself. My name's Scott, I'm Ant-man." He says holding out his hand. Falcon rolls his eyes while Marie and I laugh. I clutch my stomach, crying as I laugh harder, than I have in years. Scott, Steve, Clint and the rest of the team look at us weirdly. "S-sorry, but you don't have to introduce yourselves to us." I stutter out, while my laughter finally dies down.
Clint puts his hand on my shoulder and as I turn around to see what he has to say, someone cuts us off. "Don't mean to be rude, but can you start a fire cause I'm freezing!" I look over to Tony as he drops some twigs into a large pile. "Uh sure, I guess." I reply. I walk over to him, fire ball in hand. I stop half way and throw the fire onto the sticks. As soon as it makes contact, the twigs go up in flames. "Great. Now would you mind answering some questions? Like I don't know, who the hell are you?" Tony practically yells at me, flaring his hands around as he speaks. "I'm sorry but didn't we already answer this?" I ask Marie without looking at her. "Well he is getting older, maybe his memory is fading like his hair." She replies.
Tony laughs. "You're lucky you're my kid." He says before sitting down. The sun finally goes to bed, covering the earth in a blanket of stars. We sit around the fire in silence. The only sound is the crickets chatting away. I start thinking about the past.

Hilda's Pov
It's been a month since Daisy and I joined the Avengers, and only two weeks since Janet joined us and everything seemed to be going great. Janet, Sam, Daisy, and I were watching TV with Steve, waiting for; Nat and Clint to get back from the store, Tony and Bruce to come from the lab, Thor and Falcon to wake up, and Scott to come back from Hanks. Wanda, Pietro, Rhodey, and Vision were on a mission so…
We were about to introduce Steve to the amazing world of SpongeBob, before we heard the "ding" of the elevator. "Hey, were back!" Nat yelled. "Need any help?!" I yell back. "Hilda no yelling in the tower." Steve says, not looking up from the TV that now plays SpongeBob. "But Nat just yelled and you didn't tell her anything." I tell him crossing my arms. Steve gives me a weird look before replying. "Yes, but she is a adult not a child." He retorts before returning his gaze to the screen. I could hear the girls laughing quietly behind me, so I did what I thought was a good idea. I threw a pillow, or two, at Steve. Feathers exploded everywhere. Steve turned to me with a very unhappy look on his face. "Pillow fight?" I asked innocently. Steve smile softened, before turning into a mischievous grin. "You're in for it now." He tells me grabbing a pillow next to him. I quickly jump over the couch and run.
I ran into the kitchen. "Protect me!" I yell as I run behind Nat, hiding. "What's up little bird?"She says unfazed by my actions. She taken to calling me "Little bird" ever since I found out my father was Clint, not that I minded though. I go to reply, but get cut off as Steve stumbles into the kitchen… covered in feathers still from earlier. Clint bursts out laughing while Natasha raises an eyebrow. Steve has a playful smile on, but his eyes hold mischief. "So Clint did you know your daughter wanted to have a pillow fight today?" Steve asks holding up a pillow. Clint sends a smile my way. "Nope, but I can see from the state that you're in the she won." Clint replies smirking. Nat mutters something under her breath. "If you're not going to help put away the groceries, get out of the kitchen." She says sighing. I look at her with wide eyes before moving to help put things away. "This is my safe heaven, I am not leaving." I say as I put the chocolate spread in the cupboard.

I let out a chuckle, thinking about it. It was the day right before I "woke up" in Hilda's mind. I don't think I could ever forget that moment.

"Are you sure about this?" I ask Clint one more time as we are walking down the hall. "For the 5th time, yes. You girls are working so well together." He trails off as he stands in front of the training room door. He opens it and steps to aside, waiting for me to enter. I grip my bow so tight, I'm afraid it could snap in half. "Now it's time to see how you do apart from each other." He tells me firmly. He places his hand on my arm, gently leading me inside. I walk in, taking in the blank white walls that I know hide lethal weapons. "Dad." I whisper, as I grab his hand. Clint's eyes widen a bit, still not used to me calling him that, before he squeezes my hand and sighs.
"Sorry sweetheart, but you lost the bet and now you have to pay up." He kisses my temple, before letting go of my hand and walking out. I stand in the middle of the room, before I hear footstep. "So let's get this started." I hear Tony say from behind me. I turn around slowly until I came face to face with Tony and Cap. "Surprised you're not fighting Sam, Captain?" I say with a playful smirk. Steve only grins. "Well then, let's see if you're smiling after this." Tony says before launching a rocket at me.
I dodge, doing cartwheel to the right. I grab an explosive arrow and shoot it at Tony. He destroys it with a gauntlet beam and goes to shoot at me, but not before I kick him square in the chest sending him back as I launch another arrow. I grow to grab another arrow, when Steve grabs my wrists flipping me over. He goes to land a punch on me as I hit the floor, but I raise my leg just in time to kick in the face, making him let go. I push myself off the ground and jump back as Tony launches another beam at me. I am starting to get real mad about having to do this. "Stupid Tony for making that bet, about who could go the longest without chocolate." I thought angrily. "Don't worry though he will soon see the error of his ways." I though again, only this time it didn't sound like me but more like a stranger. I don't have time to dwell on it as Steve comes at me his fist raised. I quickly launch two high voltage shock arrows at him, successfully knocking him to the ground. Now all that is left to do is to get Tony.
He circles around me, waiting to see what my next move is. I study him, looking for any weak points in the armor. My eyes land on his arc reactor. I smirk to myself. Steve punches me in the jaw, knocking me off my feet and sending back into the wall. I wince on impact. I fall to the ground. I go into a kneeling position. "Giving up already little bird?" Tony drawls out the last two words mockingly. "Don't call me that!" I shouted, while getting up into a standing position. A piece of my hair falls into my eyes and I can see the ends turning an orange color. "Not now, please!" I yell in my mind. Once again, I heard reply that wasn't my own. "Come on, one little fireball and he's out!" it thought back. "Yes, but then Daisy will kill me!" I shout back. It didn't have time to reply as Steve and Tony came at me at the same time. I flip over Steve, grabbing onto to Tony. He shook me off. I went sailing through the air, but before I hit the wall I launched two arrows as he turned around. One Electric and one Explosive. Upon impact he was sent sailing right into Steve. They both fell down in jumbled up mess. I got up from my spot on the floor as Clint, Natasha and the girls came in. as soon as Daisy hugged me I was out like a light, but not before these words ran through my mind. "Sleep now, my little warrior."

I hear someone cough, drawing me from my thought. I turn to Tony. "Can I help you with something?" I ask curiously. He nods his head. "Marie and you were "put" into their head, not like born right?" He asks. I think he is trying to say we were placed and not their originally, but who am I to assume. "Yes why?" I reply a little scared as to where this conversation was going. He has a dangerous gleam in his eye that he only gets when he lies, to Fury about how dangerous his little projects are. "So does that mean you can be removed?" He asks loudly for everyone to hear. I stare at him blankly as I slowly stand up. I only take one step, before Marie is tackling me to the ground. I fight her with all my power, trying to get her off, so I can show Tony the true meaning of pain. The Avengers watch in horror as we do, but Sam and Janet join in pinning me to the ground. "Calm yourself down!" Janet yells in my ear as she struggles to keep me pinned. Tony steps back, only to run into Clint. "What did you do?" He asks watching the scene unfold. "Asks how to make my kid normal again, unlike you." He says with a smirk…
Right before Clint punches him the face, and points and arrow at him as he falls to the ground.
