Tweety Bird ~ Chapter 4

Ava's POV
"Okay, it's official, she is the most powerful avenger." Tony said chuckling. "How long have you known? I don't remember you saying you had super speed," Bruce said looking very confused.  "I found out this morning. Me and tweety bird had a race and it just kind of happened. It is one of those side effect powers," I said and he just nodded. "Hold on, are we going to just ignore the fact that he just let her call him "tweety bird"?" Tony asked sarcasm lacing his voice. "Shut up man," Sam said in response. "Ooh we could get the name plastered on your door! Or get it painted-" Tony started before I sent a glare this way, which shut him up pretty quickly. "Leave him alone guys," I said trying to hold in my laughter.

A little bit later, we all went inside and ate lunch. We had macaroni. After that, we all went our separate ways. Everyone going to their rooms to do god knows what. Sam and I decided that we would watch a movie and cuddle. "Hey, baby can I talk to you?" he asked cautiously. "You're making me nervous, but sure," I said looking up at him. "Oh, it isn't anthing bad, don't worry. I just wanted to know if you would officially be my girlfriend?" I looked at him in shock. He seemed to worry for a second before I said, "YES! I would love to!" His worried face dropped immediatly as he kissed me. "Also, I wanted to know if you wanted to share this room since you basiclly live here anyways?" He said chuckling. "I guess I do live here don't I?" He just chuckled in response. "I will go get my clothes and stuff out of my old room," I said before getting up and speeding all of my stuff into one big box, and taking it into Sam's room. It took me about a minute in total to pack everything up, and about one more minute to unpack everything and take the box out to the trash. 

After that it was about dinner time and it was Steves turn to cook. We would most likely be ordering pizza or something, because everytime he tried to cook, something would go wrong. However, when we got downstairs, there was a casserole in the center of the dinning table with plates at every seat. "Ava, go get everybody and tell them that dinner is ready," Steve said as he finished putting napkins and silverware at each spot at the table. I did as instructed and got everybody down and we ate in a comfortable silence. 

"It was really good Steve," I said before heading to mine and Sam's room. When I got there, I saw that Sam was already in bed. I went and layed down with him and we soon fell asleep. Normally my sleep was dreamless, but not tonight. I woke up to Sam shaking me awake. I was scared, so I jumped at the contact. But soon I realised that it was just Sam. He hugged me as I sobbed into his chest. He held me like that for what seemed like hours, but in reality, in was a few minutes. "I'm sorry," I said, but it came out as barely a whisper. "You have nothing to be sorry for baby," he said stroking my hair. I was just glad that my powers weren't activated during my dream. When I was in HYDRA, my nightmares would get so bad that I would shoot around my cell in my sleep.

Eventually, we had both fallen back asleep. This time there weren't any nightmares. I woke back up around 4:21 am. I got up and changed into my running gear. Then I waited for Sam to wake up. About 45 minutes later, he started to stir. Then, he woke up. "Want to go for a run?" I asked. "Sure. How long have you been up?" he questioned. "About 45 minutes, but get changed I want to go for a run," I said. He laughed then got up and changed into his running gear that matched mine. Yes, we were the couple with matching workout clothes. Even our battle suits matched. It may be cringy, but it is so worth it, so get over it. 

About halfway through the run, we heard something in the bushes. We looked at each other, then we each gave a knowing nod. We went to either side of the bush, and when we peeked inside, there was a small little girl. Before we could ask what she was doing on private property, she jumped out and started attacking us. Sam called for back-up while I got a hold of the little girl and started to head back to the compound.

Once we got there, we put her in one of the cells that had been designed for kids. I know that sounds messed up that we have prison cells for kids, but they have had kids come and try to get information. Once we put her in the cell. I went in with her to talk to her. "Can you tell me your name?" I asked her. She looked scared. She couldn't have been more than 7 years old. Getting no response, I walked closer to her. She quickly scooted away from me. "I won't hurt you. I promise. I just want to talk," I said in a calming voice. "My name is Reese," she said in a barely audiable voice. "How old are you Reese?" "I am 8 years old," she said fear lacing her voice. "Who sent you here?" I asked still keeping calm and trying not to scare her. "HYDRA," she whispered. My eyes widened. "Did HYDRA take you away from your parents?" I asked concerned. She just nodded in response. "I was taken by HYDRA when I was little too. I escaped though," I said sitting next to Reese. "I don't want to go back to them," she said looking scared as ever. "You don't have to," I said smiling gently at her. All of a sudden, she got up and hugged me, sitting in my lap. 

After a little while of me rubbing her back, she fell into a deep sleep. I stood up and exited the cell with her still attached to my body. I took her up to mine and Sam's room. Her clothes were fairly clean so I was going to let her wake up before I made her change. I layed her down in our bed then sat next to her, begining to rub her back again. She was probably exhausted. I doubt HYDRA let her sleep very often. I mean, I barely got any sleep when I was there.
