K- Me

At a small beige house, Mexican city. We pretend to sell food and next door is the competition... I think. There are a lot of computers and white boards around written all over with formulas and stuff. We're running away from something but I don't know what. There are a lot of boxes, and a few couches.

Apparently I invited my new crush over to our house to have lunch with me and help me with some science stuff. I don't even know what my job is at this point.

N- So, when is he getting here?

K- I dunno. Stop asking, you're making me nervous.

I attempted to keep on cleaning. I had a low ponytail, a white buttoned down shirt, and jeans. 

N- Just tryna help here.

She rolled her eyes.

S- Don't be nervous, you'll do fine. Just probably don't mention that you're hiding here with us.

K- Omg, I'm chewing gum so fast I think I'm gonna choke.

T- Just be natural, that always works. For the most of it anyways. Keep the boxes moving, boys!

He shouted and clapped at Bruce and Hawkeye, who were still setting up the computers. They shared a look; probably wondering if they would get paid to move everything around.

K- What if he knows who we are? What if I mess this up? I'm seriously gonna choke on this gum [why the heck was I chewing gum?].

H- He's just a teacher, I don't think he'll figure this out.

BR- Besides, he sounded very sweet, K.

The door rang. I tried to go get it before they did so they wouldn't mess up, but I started choking a bit, so I turned my back to the door. Bucky opened up instead.

C- Hi, uh, Kat?

I waved at him (not turning around of course) while trying to spit the gum. Natasha started to distract him showing him the boards and the house, and I had to pull the gum out of my mouth because I was seriously choking.

My crush apparently wore glasses, had black hair, was a science teacher, and he liked astronomy. What do you know? I finally turned around, breathing again.

K- Hi. I'm sorry I was just very, uhm, busy.

C- It's okay, your friends seem nice.

K- They are. Too nice, maybe.

Our conversation fast forward, we talked about some theories and then he left.

K- That wasn't so bad, was it?

I sighed.

N- See? And he didn't know a thing.

S- He likes you. Let's keep an eye on him then.

I was sort of surprised, but not a lot. We had to watch out for everyone and everything, and I liked that guy so much, yet the Avengers... they're all just weird. But we were a team, nonetheless.

Anyways, we started preparing a "meal" for our little restaurant; we had to put some tables outside of the house (it was an old and lonely town), move more boxes, and pretend to be waiters and stuff. I helped move some, but so far we didn't do much. Dr. Strange and Tony were arguing for some reason, and Bucky, Steve and I laughed at them. Some of them sat down at those same tables and addressed some more serious stuff. I was leaning on the wall with my foot up.

K- Ok, so seriously, people. I need to know what my name is gonna be.

T- What can you do, exactly?

BR- Yeah, what changed? What do you feel?

K- Well, I... can control energy, I think.

T- So you're like Wanda, then.

Wanda (wearing a blue plaided flannel shirt) turned to see me and raised an eyebrow. For some reason that made me feel REALLY SCARED.

K- God, no! No, Wanda can control minds and warp reality and things like that. Me? I can only control energy, like... uhm, this.

I moved my hands a bit and purple energy flowed.

K- So I can throw it and it hurts, but no mind games. Sorry.

Steve and Wanda shared a look.

T- At least you can do something else than hit everyone with your plastic arm like Buzz Lightyear.

He was referring to Bucky, making jokes again. Bucky rolled his eyes and pretended to leave.

Everyone: Oh c'mon he's kidding!

N- You know how Tony can be a real pain in the–

T- That's enough outta you, Romanoff. So! Back to you.

He pointed at me.

K- What should my name be, then?

T- High Gramm.

Weirdly, I thought it and he said it at the same time. Dr. Strange looked at him because it was a weird name. It was.

K- What? Why High Gramm?

T- Because you're the one who controls our Instagram and posts about us. You're like a manager.

So I finally knew what I did with them. I was their Instagram manager/friend. Yay me!

W- And?

T- And high because you're like, you can fly high now. Right? So it's like Highgramm.

Steve and Bucky tried to ignore it and started going inside. Wanda just drank her soda and looked away.

BR- Uhm... Tony, I–

N- That's all you could come up with?

She said it and we all laughed. Not gonna lie, I liked the Gramm thing at the end, but High???

Suddenly, the guys from next door arrived, our "food/restaurant competition". The Avengers went back inside because they didn't want to be recognized, and I wasn't as famous. I started picking everything up when 2 guys and a lady from next door came up to me and tried to intimidate me. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to get caught, so I lowered my cap and as soon as they finished threatening me, I went back inside. I could still hear the Avengers' voices inside the house, so I felt safe.

All of a sudden, the room was empty. No computers, no white boards, nothing. The Avengers were nowhere to be found, and it was getting late. Suddenly I was very afraid and wanted to cry.

K- What? No...

And then, I woke up.
