He behaves as if he was caught stealing and he stutters before pointing at me and saying, "If you mention this to anyone..." he threatens but behind his anger there lies embarrassment and red cheeks.

I nod my head quickly and hold my pinky finger out. "I pinky promise that I won't tell anyone."

"Good," he replies but awkwardly fixes his vest and clears his throat, stopping and looking up but not in my eyes as he frowns with confusion. "Wait, what?"

I scoff and raise a brow. "Of course you don't know what a pinky promise is. Well, a pinky promise is where you state the promise you are making and then you wrap your pinky finger around mine and we shake our hands while they are still connected. It's simple."

He is staring at me with an eyebrow lifted. "Is this something normal humans do?"

I laugh and nod. "Will you just take my pinky? I'm tired of holding it up."

But his attention is turned to over my shoulder where the whooshing is getting louder.

I look behind me to see the ship that had taken off last night returning to the flight deck. Clint and Natasha maybe? But why did they leave to begin with? The others must be up now. The sun shines through the rotors of the aircraft and creates a silhouette of the black city buildings on the horizon, darkened from no power...

I stare at the craft for a moment longer, watching it fly closer to the building. Then I turn around and I head inside. I blink some of the sleep away and I rub my eyes as I make my way into the little room that is mine and change into some of the pants there and black t-shirt.

After that I walk into the main room and take notice of the people standing around. The aroma of coffee wafts through the air and hits my nose, causing it to scrunch up.

Some of the others are in here talking things through. Thor is eating and Pepper is cooking something with a solemn attitude, now dressed in a black tank top and army pants with her hair up. Jane is doing what she does which is work.
