I wake up to the smell of breakfast and can't help but think Tony is in the kitchen like last night. I really didn't want to face everyone after storming out but I guess your demons come out. I put on a long sleeve shirt and kept my sweatpants on from that night. I opened the door and came face to face with Steve. His eyes lit up and a nervous smile came across his face trying to be serious.
"I was just coming to check on you and tell you breakfast was ready", he chuckled nervously.
"I'm coming down now." I smiled as I blushed. Together Steve and I went to the kitchen and grabbed a plate that was ready with pancakes, eggs, and toast. We both grabbed a plate and went to the living room as everyone else was watching the news. Breakfast was pretty quiet, I took a couple bites of everything on my plate, I looked over to Steve as he was watching me and smiling. I guess he's glad I'm eating. I took my stuff in the kitchen as Steve followed me with his empty plate.
"You sure you are ok?"
"I'm fine," I said as forcing a smile. I put my plate in the sink and walked off as Steve looked like he wanted to say more but not push. I went to my room and just scrolled through Instagram until I received a knock on my door. I reluctantly got up and opened to see Peter. "Hey, Spidey. Something I can help you with?"
"Hey Ivy," he said shaky. "Just wanted to let you know we have a meeting in the conference room in like 20 minutes."
"Oh, thank you Peter. I didn't know."
"Ya, no problem. Do you need anything?"
"No, thanks. I'm just going to get ready and head down," I smiled about to close the door. Peter started to turn around, but I forgot I don't know where to go. "Oh, wait. Can you wait for me to get ready and show me where to go?"
"Of course, sorry. I completely forgot."
"It's ok, come in. You can wait on my bed, I'll be out in a sec." Peter sat on the edge while I went in my closet grabbing a shirt, jacket and jeans. I didn't need everyone staring at my scars. I walked out of the closet, and looked at Peter smiling as he sat on my bed. He just stared until I cleared my throat. "Ummm, I think I'm ready Peter. If you are done staring we should get going."
"Oh...umm, yes of course. I'm sorry," Peter remarked blushed face. I just smile and lead Peter out and close the door. We walk up stairs and went into one of many rooms that I had never seen before. In the room was a huge table with all of the Avengers sitting on each side with a TV and Tony on the end. Steve had two chairs next to him, so Peter and I took a seat.
"Since everyone is here now, we can get started," Tony started as he paced the floor. "Everyone I'd like to welcome our newest member, Ivy. I want everyone to treat her with the up most respect as you do me. Now Ivy, would you like to tell everyone your power?"
I stood up unsure, "I can read people's minds, and really that's all. I think at least. I've never really tried to max out my powers or trained to use them."
"That brings me to my next order of business," Tony took over, "We will start training tomorrow, everyone will be in the training center at 8 am tomorrow."
"That's a little later than usual," remarked Steve as he shifted his weight.
"Thank you, Steve. I know. I was going to make the announcement of a party tonight to congratulate our new Avenger." Everyone at the table lit up with smiles and excitement. "The party will start at 6, and invite anyone you would like that is the life of the party. Everyone should keep in mind though, this is a party for Ivy." Is Tony really trying to make up for not being in my life or is this something they do normally? Tony continued to talk but I wanted to know what everyone was thinking...
"I don't drink. It'll be fine, hope we play some games." I giggled reading Peter's mind.
"I hope she says near me all night. I might ask her to dance." I wondered who Steve was talking about.
"God, what I would do to get her in a room. I wonder if she will wear a dress, if she does I might not contain myself." Woah, Bucky might have dirty thoughts.
"Maybe I should check on her, I did take care of her. Wonder if she likes a gentleman?" Awww, Bruce is so sweet to whoever his girl is.
"Would you be okay with that, Ivy?" Tony asked as he turned to me.
"Ummm.." I turned red.
Steve turned to me and placed his hand on mine. "He is asking if you would read Loki's mind and tell us what he is stirring up."
"Yes, of course. I can. Sorry," I said as looked down.
"Tomorrow after training we will take you to where he is being held," Tony declared. "That's all of business for today and tomorrow. We will have another meeting sometime this week. I will see you all at party. Meeting dismissed." Everyone started to get up and head to their rooms to get ready. Steve followed behind me as I left the meeting room, while some people stayed and talked to each other. We walked to my room quietly as there was much to think about.
"Are you going to the party tonight," Steve said in a cliche manner.
I smirked, "Seeing as how it is my party, I guess I'm expected to be there by Tony."
Steve chuckled, "then may I take you?" His voice seemed shaky, but I didn't want to stress about it so I laughed.
"I'll see you there," I said slyly as I shut the door. I sigh a heavy breath and press my back to the door. This is going to be a long night.
