Are you *dolphin noise* kidding me? That's all Matt thought, the only thing in his mind. Black Widow, the Natasha Romanoff standing in front of him. No talk, no communication for a YEAR and here she was, asking for coffee. Matt must've had a ridiculous look on his face, but who could blame him? Natasha had a sly smile as if to say "that's right, I'm back". The smile slowly faded and she leaned forward.
"Be in the back of the building in five minutes." Black Widow said before walking out. Matt was still frozen, how in the hell could he just leave?
A cough behind him made him turn. Debbie stood twirling a mixing cup, her eyes glaring at him.
"You better get out there. Natasha doesn't mess around." Debbie said as casual as could be.
"I knew it." Matt muttered under his breath. Of course Debbie was an agent in disguise, of freaking course.
"Sorry, kid. Fury wanted to make sure you were protected." Debbie explained. Matt nodded and walked to the back door. Leaving his apron on the counter in the kitchen. Opening the metal door revealed a sleek black corvette. Natasha leaned against the passenger door and glanced up at Matt.
"Where are we going?" Matt asked.
"Just gonna get right down to business?" Someone spoke next to him. Matt raised his hands and was ready to send the man flying. Steve walked forward with a grin on his face. Matt rolled his eyes.
"Don't do that." Matt said. "Where have you been for the last year?"
"Well we first had problems with the Council for recruiting a new Avenger without asking. Then we had issues with H.Y.D.R.A which you know of. And the last few months were just waiting for approval to come get you. I'm afraid we have some news."
"What news?" Matt asked.
"A comet hit the ground over in Russia. Or at least that's what the public thinks." Natasha told. Matt had seen the story on the news, a comet that was supposed to miss the Earth was pulled down to the ground. The small object didn't do much damage, just blew a lot of trees away.
"What was it actually?"
"We don't know. But it wasn't a meteorite. And all the crews that have tried to get it have been held back by heavy radiation. Now, if we're right about this...we think it's an infinity stone. It's a leap of faith but we've been kind of a magnet for these things lately. And the fact that the comet literally turned into the planet suggests the same. Thor's been giving us updates on the current ones. The Tesseract is in Asgard and the Aether was moved to an offworld base. Another was moved to Xandarian, whoever they are, hands, and the Soul Stone is with Nebula. A part is still with you, we think. That's why we're bringing you in, to see if maybe the energy is growing inside of you." Steve told.
"Where are we going?" Matt asked.
"The Helicarrier, we've kept it hibernating over the Atlantic, now we're gonna go back. The rest of the team is already there, we're waiting for you. And then you can become a permanent member of our team. Stay in the tower and go on missions. What do you think?" Natasha asked.
"It's better than working in a bakery." Matt shrugged. Okay, maybe it was more because he's missed being able to use his powers. At least he would be able to fly for all hours of the day, oh he missed flying...
"I'm in."
Thank you to TheXReaper for telling me the chapter was damaged. Sorry everyone!
