Alex POV:
Okay, I have a confession to make. I haven’t actually been stranded on that boat for three years.
I’m just a compulsive liar. It’s a problem, trust me, I know. Sometimes life can get boring, so I
just add a little spice to it.
Normally I have no problem messing with people, but this group of weirdos were very serious in
the questions they’ve asked me. To be honest it kinda feels like I’m being interrogated.
They’ve also been pretty nice to me. I was ready in case I had to fight them when I first interacted
with them.
I haven’t even been on that boat for more than a week, but I really didn’t wanna have to explain
that to the Avengers. Yes, I do know who they are. Frankly, I know almost everything about
them. From Clint’s secret family, to where Bruce was when he ran away.
I’m trying to learn how to tell the truth more, so I’m gonna man up this time and do it.
Third Person POV:
When Alex finally spoke up again, the Avengers thought he was going to tell the story that
ended with him stuck on a boat for years. Instead, what came out of his mouth was: “I lied.”
They weren’t even taken aback by his response; just confused on what he had lied about.
Natasha, being the most assertive out of their group, asked, “What do you mean?”
Alex kept eye contact with her, because although he was nervous, he is very confident. “I lied. I
wasn’t stuck there for three years. To be honest, I wasn’t even stuck at all.” He responded,
making eye contact with each of the Avengers individually.
Alex expected them to be mad, and maybe even yell at him. Most people did when he told them
he’d just completely lied, straight to their face. He expected wrong. The biggest reaction he got
out of any of them was Tony chuckling a little bit. The rest of them just looked a little bit more
confused.
“How long have you actually been out here then?” Tony asked.
“Probably around four days.” Alex answered boredly. Leaning back against his seat and tilting
his head upwards, admiring the fine details of the ceiling.
Already knowing what someone was gonna ask next, he said, “I found that boat, and since I
hadn’t been on one in a while, decided to try it out. It’s pretty fun, so I stayed on it for a couple days. The cry for help painted on top, was from the previous owner I guess. Didn't work out for 'im I don't think." He ended with a smirk on his face.
“Wait, where do you live?” Tony asked.
“In New York City. I can see your guys’ tower from my apartment.” He replied.
“So you do know who we are,” Steve said.
“Yeah, it’s kinda hard not to. I mean, I live above this lady’s coffee shop, and she sells almost
anything you can think of with your faces on it.” He said, grimacing at the thought of the weird
merchandise. “It really freaks me out, so I try to ignore it most of the time. But I can’t complain,
cause she lets me live there for free. So long as I help her grandson with his Spanish
homework.” He finished his ramble, though not ashamed, because he loved talking anytime he
could.
“Do you want us to drop you off there then?” Tony asked.
“No no, I’ll just run.” He assured him.
“We’re landing at SHIELD, so you can either stay with us, or we’ll have someone take you
home.” Natasha explained to Alex.
“I can just run from there. Trust me. I enjoy a good, long run.” Alex assured them. He was
fighting the urge to show them what he could do right there and then, but held back because he
wanted more room to show off.
“Suit yourself kid. Remember the offer when you're a quarter of the way through a thirty mile
run, and panting like a dog.” Steve warned jokingly.
“Oh-kay” Alex laughed a little. He couldn’t wait to see the looks on their faces.
The conversation pretty much ended there. Everyone was just relaxing and in their own worlds.
Alex was bouncing his knee absentmindedly, while tracing the lines on his palms. Clint was back
to the pilot’s seat next to Natasha, who was filling out the mission report for Fury. Everyone else
was either chatting to one another, or on their phone.
Sam disrupted the quietness by asking Clint how far they were from the SHIELD base.
“We’re just about to land right now actually, so buckle up.” Clint informed everyone. They all
followed his instructions, and got ready to land.
Alex wasn’t as excited as he thought he’d be to display his abilities. He couldn’t care less really.
He would run off and probably never talk to them again. Unless they found him, if they even looked for him. NYC was huge, and he hadn't given them his last name, not that it mattered much if they did know.
Clint landed the quinjet successfully, and everyone got off. They all stood on the concrete,
waiting to say goodbye to Alex.
“Okay, goodbye,” Alex said quickly. He was ready to go home already. The interaction with the
Avengers was fun, but he was starting to get bored.
“You’re seriously going to run back to your apartment from here?” Steve asked. He didn’t really
believe the kid.
“You can probably do it. What, you don’t have faith in me?” Alex asked jokingly with a smirk on
his face.
“I’m a supersoldier, and run that much every morning. Sorry if I’m a little skeptical.” Mr. America
replied back with his hands in the air in defense.
“Be skeptical no more.” Alex said with a big smile on his face, before running away faster than
the Avengers ever thought possible.
Their eyes couldn’t even register the speed of him. To them, he just looked like a blur.
They all stood there, stunned, mouths agape.
Sam was the first to put what they were all thinking into three simple words.
"What. The. Fuck."
