a simple encounter

together

"Tony pull it together," I say

"You think this is funny?" Thor asks while raising his hammer.

"No," Tony says while facing Thor

"It's probably not, right? This is very terrible. It is so- It is so terrible," Tony adds while beginning to laugh again

"This could have been avoided if you hadn't played with something that you don't understand," Thor says while approaching Tony

"No. I'm sorry, It is funny," Tony replies while getting up in Thor's face. Definitely not the best decision.

"It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this," Tony continues

"Tony, this might not be the right time," Banner says

"Really? That's it? You just roll over and show your belly every time someone snarls?" Tony says, snapping at Banner

"Hey. Tony lay off of him." I say in defence of Banner

"Same goes for you, You both just bow down?" He says

"Only when we have created a murder bot, Tony," I say approaching him

"Except we didn't. We weren't even close," Tony adds

"Well, You did something right, and you did it right here. The Avengers were supposed to be different than S.H.E.I.L.D." Steve says

"Look, We're the Avengers. We can bust arms dealers all the livelong day but that up there? That's the endgame. How were you guys planning on beating that? " Tony says while pointing to the sky.

"Together," Steve says while looking at Tony

"We'll lose," Tony says sternly

"Than we will do that together too," Steve replies

"Thor's right. Ultron's calling us out and I would like to find him before he's ready for us," Steve continues

"Well, the world is a big place. Let's start making it smaller." I add

Everyone begins to work together to come up with a way to stop Ultron. From the work that I had completed with Banner and Tony, I knew that this would not be a simple task for the Avengers. Part of me would never know how they did it on a day to day basis.

At around 1:00 am everyone decided to call it a night even though we knew that we were nowhere close to being done. Everyone left the lab and headed to their bedrooms. On my way to my bedroom, I passed the training room. I stood before the door for a few seconds and thought to myself. I was useless. I held the gun and yet I had no idea how to defend myself. I work with the Avengers so you think I would have come prepared for those kinds of situations. As I stood there thinking about my capabilities, I was approached by Steve.

"You okay?" Steve asks while putting his hand on my shoulder

"I was useless Steve. I held the gun and just looked at it. I have no idea how to defend myself. I don't want to become that burden who constantly needs protection while we fight against Ultron. I want to be one who can help." I say in sadness

"You have potential. I see it within you kid. I can help you if you'd like. Same with Nat, and I'm sure Clint would be more than happy to help. We are all here for you." Steve replies sympathetically

I look over and him and simply smile

"You tired?" He asks

"Not really, tonight's events were pretty exciting," I tell him

"Come on then," Steve says while leading me into the training room.

Steve and I spent most of the night doing basic moves of defence. Not long after we started Nat joined us after she heard us in here. Seemed like I wasn't the only restless one after everything that had happened. I learned a lot from the two of them just in that one night. Nat brought up the idea of getting Tony to help me make my own suit so I could help the team. Steve agreed and said it was a good idea knowing that we would need all hands on deck to defeat Ultron. I was no use staying back at the Facility while my friends were all off saving the world. Plus we had J.A.R.V.I.S here, the Facility doesn't always need me.

Once we were all done with training we headed back to our rooms. By that time it was about 5 which inevitably meant that either Banner or Tony would be in here to wake me up in just an hour or two. I took off any of the remaining makeup I had on and tied my hair back to keep it out of my face. I changed into some comfy clothes which was really nice. Trying to fight Nat and Steve in that dress was beyond hard but Nat reminded me that there's a chance that I'll be put in a situation where I'll have to fight in a dress like tonight. I laid in my bed and just stared up at the ceiling thinking about my life and what this job has brought me. I slowly started the dose off until I had fallen completely asleep.
