Seducers At Heart

chapter four

A/N ~ thank you for getting this far to the people who've been reading my book! Up top (mobile) or to the side (laptop) is the lovely Anya. Enjoy this chapter!

When Kelly wakes up, there are people knocking on her door.

Groaning, she picks herself up to go open the door. Thor, Tony, 'Tasha, Bruce, and Steve are waiting on the other side. With another woman she doesn't know the name of.

"How can I help you?" She questions, looking over all of them with a critical eye.

"It's actually how can we help you," Tony says, walking into the room with a finesse that staggers her senses.

"What do you mean?" Kelly hates when Tony smells good. It throws off her game a bit. Also, she would very much like if he'd get off of her bed so she doesn't smell him when she goes to sleep again. And she hates him. (Maybe that last one was a lie. She loves Tony, for all that's worth.)

"I mean, you slept through the entire first fight with Loki and Thor. Also Steve, but he stopped it all. You suck for that, by the way. I was totally ready." Tony points at Steve, resting his head on Kelly's pillow. Asshole. He knows exactly how to make her angry.

"What?" She looks over at 'Tasha, who's looking away guiltily. "None of you decided to wake me up?" Kelly asks all of them.

"We were sort of busy, Kells." Steve says, making a gesture that asks 'can we come in?'

She nods, moving all of them inside, then lifting her arm across her threshold for the girl dressed like Thor, but instead of his red cape and silver armor, the girl is wearing all gold, with a slight touch of red on the back, a pattern Kelly doesn't know. "Who are you? And why are you dressed in drapes?"

"I said the same thing!" Tony yells from inside of her room.

The blond girl looks down at her clothes. "This is a dress." Her eyes narrow at Kelly, causing Kelly to narrow her eyes right back at the lady.

Thor steps in. "This is Anya. Anya is a part of my family. She will be good, I have her under control." Anya looks up at Thor in a defiant manner, and Kelly feels chills run up her back.

"Why are you all in my room? Just, don't touch anything, okay?" Thor pulls Anya into her room without Kelly even finishing her sentence. It's disturbing.

She peeks her head out of her room, and then shuts it swiftly. "Does anyone know you're all here, or is this a secret meeting?" Pushing a chair up against the door, she sits on the floor, her leg giving her troubles again.

"We need you to fight with us."

"Haven't I always?"

"We mean we need you now. ASAP. Fast and the furious." Tony says, eyeing Kelly's leg.

"Wait. How long was I out for?"

They all look at each other with shifty eyes, and tense stances ensue.

"Well?"

"You slept through two days, Kelly. Are you depressed?" Bruce asks, looking her in the eyes deeply.

"Excuse me?" She questions, her voice confused. "If you're suggesting that an Agent of SHIELD is depressed and is being interrogated by her friends-"

"We're not suggesting." Tony cuts in, completely not listening to Kelly.

"So, what? You think you know the answer to the question Bruce just asked? Well, guess what! I'm not depressed! It's because every time I woke up, my leg hurt. So yeah, I'm not depressed. It's because of my leg, you незначительные уколы!"

'Tasha stands up, probably to calm Kelly down, but she's angry now. She doesn't wanna be here. She wants to be with her normal boyfriend and have her normal lifestyle. But instead, she's stuck with these idiots. She knocks 'Tasha's hand away from her body, and says, "I need a break. Let me out," she says, trying to push Tony out of the way.

"No, Kelly we didn't mean it like-"

Kelly narrows her eyes at Tony, angry beyond belief. "Tony, get out of my way."

"No."

"Tony, I swear I will dropkick you right in the goddamn face if you don't-"

"Miss Romanoff. I believe my sister may be able to help you."

Kelly looks up at Thor, anger full in her stance. "What the hell does that mean? I've never met the girl."

"You don't have to meet her. She's a good person." Thor lifts his hand and embraces Anya's face, rubs his thumb against the back of the girl's neck, causing her to let out a delighted purr.

"Isn't she your sister?" Kelly asks, noticing the romantic gesture right away.

Anya looks up with a thunderous look, causing Kelly to draw her statement back immediately. "I am his sister. But we are in no way blood related."

Kelly nods, looking at 'Tasha for help. What the hell happened with Jane Foster? 'Tasha shakes her head at Kelly, the international code for 'later.' Sighing, Kelly sits back down. "What can she do for me?"

"I can heal your leg. It takes time to heal, though." Anya's hands look like they're on fire at the moment, so Kelly rubs her fists over her eyes.

"Okay, fine. If she fucks up, I'm blaming all of you assholes for forcing this on me." She points specifically at Tony because he's the only real asshole out of this bunch.

"Do not worry, Miss Romanoff. I will help you." She leans over, and her eyes are this light blue color, like Loki's spear.

"No, wait-"

But Anya's already put her hand on Kelly's leg and her eyes turn into a dark blue slightly. Kelly passes out from the pain.
