Must read.

Sam Wilson was sitting at the desk in the Avengers apartment in the Avengers headquarters,  watching the city's hidden cameras when he noticed something interesting. It was a girl, she was chasing a man who just robbed a house on the street she was walking on. They were running up and down streets, turning corners so fast the Sam had a hard time changing cameras in time. They ended up running in a rundown part of town where no one lived, and the girl was losing him.

"Tony!" Sam yelled. "Come quick!"

Sam looked over his shoulder to see Tony Stark running toward him.

"What's wrong" He asked.

Sam pointed to the screen. "This man has just robbed a house and this girl here was walking on the street the house was on when he did it, and started chasing him. She's been chasing him for over 10 blocks now but she's losing him."

The two of them watched the screens as the girl kept going after the man. Then she looked over her shoulders both ways, and did something intriguing. She super sped up to him pushed him down, grabbed his shirt collar and threw him in the alley beside them. The man clambered towards the wall in the alley and used it to push himself up to his feet. The girl started walking towards him, and he put his fists up, ready to fight.

"She's not going to win this fight. Send me the location Sam."

When Tony turned around he saw Steve standing in the doorway.

"I'm coming too." He said to Tony.

"No you aren't."

"I am. She needs help."

Tony huffed. "Fine, let's go."

When Tony arrived at the scene, the man's face was bruised all over with a bloody nose with a knife held high over his head; but the girl was a lot worse. She was crouched on the floor in the corner and had cuts all over her legs, clearly from the knife, and more bruises on her face, arms and a bloody nose. She had her arms up, in front of her face, blocking herself. Tony walked up behind the man, grabbed the knife from him, twisted his arm behind his back and pushed the man against the wall, his arm behind him, and Tony looked him straight in the eyes. Tony Stark could hear Steve pull up behind him in the van he drove there. Steve Rodgers ran straight towards the girl and helped her up and assisted her to the van. Meanwhile, Tony made his hand into a fist and punched the robber out cold. He then jogged towards the back of the van where Steve was helping the girl out with her wounds. After helping Steve the girl's wounds on her legs, which were now wrapped in a bandage, they both drove back to the Stark Tower.

They entered the apartment with the girl asleep, who was being carried by Steve. He laid her down on the couch and then sat down himself in a chair when Sam walked in.

"That her?" he asked.

"Who else would it be?"

"Good point." Sam replied walking into the kitchen."Want some water?"

"That'd be great, thanks."

"What'd you do with the robber?"

"Called the police to the location and left a note on him saying what he did." Tony answered as he walked in the room followed Clint Barton (Hawkeye), Natasha Romanova (Black Widow), James Rhodes (War Machine), Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) and Bucky. Steve looks over at the girl and sees she's starting to wake up.

"Guys, she's waking up."

Everyone sits down around her, with Bucky at her feet.
