Only one true love

Part 3- Confusion: Chapter 1

When Thor disappeared, everybody was quiet. They didn't know what to say. They were just looking around, what was left off, New York. I looked at the tower. It was one of the few things that weren't completely destroyed.

"Who wants to come and have a drink?" Tony suggested. Everyone mumbled in agreement.

When we were inside, Tony made us some drinks, and we sat down. I saw Natasha looking at me weirdly.

"I have an idea," Tony said after a few minutes.

"You need to put on something different," she said, ignoring Tony.

"I said: I have an idea," Tony repeated loudly.

"You go on, I'm going to find something for Rose to put on, you'll fill us up later." 'Us? Does she consider me part of the team?' I thought

"No, I'm good in this, thanks. I can wear this," I said to Natasha.

"Nobody declines my offers. Now get that butt up from the couch and follow me."

I looked at Steve with a look that meant we needed to talk.

"Come on, we don't have the whole day!" she yelled from the hall. I got up and went to her quickly. I didn't doubt she would force me to go with her.

"Where do you live?" I asked her when she went outside.

"Not far from here," she said. We didn't talk the rest of the way. It turned out she lived in a small apartment, just a few minutes away from Stark's tower. The apartment was nice, considering the part of the roof was missing. We went into her bedroom, and she opened the closet. She turned around after a few moments with some clothes in her hands. 

"Try this on," she said, giving me the clothes. She went out of the room to give me some privacy. I put on what she gave me. I couldn't see how I looked because the mirror she had was smashed. I opened the door and found her standing there and waiting for me.

"Oh my God! You look great," she said.

"Really?" I didn't believe her. On me, I had a T-shirt (at least I thought that it was a T-shirt) and some jeans that were ripped.

"Here, put this hoodie on top of crop top so you're not cold." She gave me a blue jumper with a hood, which she just called a hoodie. I put it on and followed her back to the tower. When we came back, everyone was on their feet, cleaning up the mess.

"What are you doing?" Nat asked.

"Cleaning because we are going to make this the Avengers' headquarters," Tony said, "Which means that every member of Avengers will have their own room where they can live if they want."

"So basically, you are making an Avengers' house?" Nat asked.

"Well, it's a bit more than that. You see, here, we will live our normal lives and, when we have a meeting, we will have it here as well. This tower will have everything: bedrooms, living space, including kitchen, dining room and bathroom, a laboratory and a meeting room. It will have a big room where we can party after saving the world. As well as a high-tech prison because, well, you know what happened. Oh, and it will also have a room for our superhero suits."

"Smart Stark, smart," Nat said, "How many bedrooms will there be?"

"Let's see," he said, counting quietly on fingers, "Cap, Nat, Clint, Thor, Bruce, Rose and me."

"Seven main bedrooms with En suite bathrooms and a few guest bedrooms," he said.

"Seven?" I asked, confused, "Isn't there six of you?"

"How six?" Clint asked.

"Tony, Steve, Nat, Thor, Bruce and you," I said.

"What about you?" Steve asked.

"Me?"

"Yes, you. What, did you think you are not part of the team?" Tony asked. I was flattered and happy. They considered me part of the team.

"Now, whoever wants to live here, get cleaning," Tony ordered.
