College AU
~~~
Getting into College is difficult. Add in the fact it's the most prestigious hero academy in the whole world and you've got yourself quite the journey ahead. You weren't magical or super badass, you weren't a god nor a super genius. B...
Snapping awake, there was a low growl in the shadows behind some bushes.
"Oh fuck," you stumble up and grab a branch from the fallen wood, holding it up. Piercing red eyes glowed from the darkness making your heart race. "I am not dying today, god!"
The animal let out a low snarl, extending it's claws and pouncing out. Sleek black fur coated every inch of it, soft orange flames rising from it's paws and burning the grass in it's path. It's eyes narrowed with a deadly glare; it knew you were scared.
It's mouth pulled back to reveal razor sharp teeth, drooling at the sight of what you thought was it's next meal— You. Ears settling back as it barks at you.
"Good puppy?" you hold up the stick making it stop and stare in excitement. "Oh! You want the stick?" You hoped your voice could mask the fear as it sat down and nods. "Fetch!" You throw the stick as far as you could with all your strength before grabbing the berries and running away.
The hound came back to the trees where you once were and whined to see you gone. It slowly paced around with the stick in it's mouth before catching scent of you and chasing you down.
"Shit!" You saw it gain up and tackle you to the ground. "Please don't kill me!" You whimper only to freeze when it takes a big lick of your face. "See? I taste gross! I won't be a good meal!" Waiting for it to attack and tear you to shreds, you feel the hound leave.
It barks and lays down, pushing the stick forward to you.
"What in the world?"

"We need to head back now, Grinch," Tony nudges the god who was trying to track you with his magic only for it to be blocked by some type of force.
"No, she could be dying out there!"
~~~
"How does... Moriarty sound?" He whines in disagreement. "No? Uh... Fangs?" Another whine. "Not a Sherlock or Harry Potter fan, huh?" He barks and chomps into another berry.

"We must head back before Director Fury has our heads," Cap sighs, putting his shield on his back. "Come on, Pietro, get us back,"

Two more days passed and there was no sign of you. The Avengers got a small scolding from Scott though the supervisor kept their outing on the down low. After the teachers went on a large search there was no sign of you at all!
They gave up.
Loki refused to do that, though Professor Wong caught him trying to sneak out and Fury had a field day scolding the god for reckless behavior.

"I'm glad we got a name for you, Crowley," you pet the dogs head making him bark in joy. Looking back to the front you saw the open field of the academy. "Would you look at that?"
Crowley growls at the sight of people walking across the campus.
"Good to know they went out their way to find me," you sigh out and pocket the makeshift knife, you trudge through the campus as students gasp, teachers running to inform Fury.
"Y/n!" The group rushed out the dorm when Scott said you were seen on campus. Crowley growled and tried to gnash at the students who jump back.
"Hi," you mumble and walk into the dorm as they avoided Crowley.
"New pet?" Scott tries to lighten the mood only for you to send a glare making him shrink in fright.
"Y/n?" Wanda tries to put a hand on your shoulder only for you to raise the blade to her neck.
"Touch me and I'll rip your throat out," Wanda paled as the others widen their eyes. "Let's go," you gesture to Crowley to follow you up to your dorm.

An hour? More? Maybe two? You were washing all the grime out, cleaning the cuts and getting your hair back to better shape.
Putting on some clean clothes on, you see Crowley sniffing the beanbag before jumping on and panting in delight, his tail wagging fast.
"Such a good boy," you smile and look under your shirt to trace over the fading scar. In no time, you heard the door knock. "What?"
"Miss L/n," Fury? Of course he would see you.
You stand up and give a monotone look. "Yes, director?"
"We are glad to have you back," That was the best he could do?? "We know of Aphrodite's involvement with your disappearance and she has been removed from campus and sent to Olympus.
"Yippy!" You scoff and look at your calendar.
"All the assessments you missed will be given a score based on your average, do not worry,"
"What? I don't even get to try?" You furrow your brows as Crowley snarls at the man. "Down, boy,"
"You were nearly killed, thought to be dead and a lost cause, and not even a day back and you want to take the tests??" Fury looked surprised and confused.
"Yes, but do give me a week to catch up with content," you walk over to your desk and pull out notes. "If that will be all, sir?"
"Very well, Miss L/n... and the dog?"
"Hellhound, emotional support animal,"
"Alright," He leaves simply, seeing the group waiting down the hall with Scott who looked like a mother close to tears. "Have fun with that ball of sunshine," Fury walks by.
