20. Interviewing

Tony pov

"So we will all get out chance to talk to her alone in order, we're not gonna push her too much as we don't know what she's been through" Steve says and we all hear the outer door open as someone walks down the stairs. I turn to see Clint and Yelena come in and you walk down to come to us.

"y/n?" Clint asks as he's not really up to speed about what's happened the last two days.

"Arya?" Yelena says at the same time which makes you look up to meet her gaze.

"Yelena, long time no see" you say with a smile as you reach the bottom floor. "What are you doing here?"

"Natasha's my sister" she just answers and it feels like you both are shutting us all out of the conversation even though no one tries to talk.

"Right, i forgot"

"What are you doing here?" Yelena asks back as she starts to get closer to you, backing you up against the staircase railing. Almost like you're afraid of her.

"Finding my past life apparently, so it looks like we'll be seeing much of each other in the future" you say and Natasha makes her selfs knows to you, interrupting the intense conversation,

"Yelena, Clint, glad you could come anyways. I would introduce you but you already seem to know each other, how?" Nat goes right to the point as always.

"Arya, or i guess it's y/n now, was a trainer in the red room. She was the only one against using mind control" Yelena answers straight out without realising her gaze from you.

"Well there are other ways to control the minds of young girls, making them compliant" you defend your actions without being accused of it being wrong. But i can tell there is something you want to add to that but you don't.

"So the one agasint mind control was being controlled after all, you who said it was all you" Yelena says, baking you completely up against the railing.

"We all do things to survive Yelena, you would know that" and your relaxed and composed self it back as you straighten your back and take a step forwards, making Yelena take a step back as well. "But enough about that, can't we get started with the interrogations?"

"You're not being arrested Y/n, you couldn't control what you were doing" Bucky defends you and there is that bond you used to have again. I can see that everything is really going back to normal.

"Let's just call it an interview with everyone in the manor, separately" i say to make it less strict. "So who wants to start"

"I think i would like an explanation on what the hell has happened in the last two days" Clint says and i can't help but laugh at him, neither can the rest.

"How about Steve starts and i'll fill you both in" Natasha says and we all agree. She takes them into the kitchen as i see you pulling down your sleeves over your hands. Steve takes you into the office just a wall between us now.

As Bucky comes back out i can go in to see you, talk to you. And there you are sitting, in my chair with a cup of water. You used to hate drinking water, guess some things change over a whole year.

"Tony, ask me whatever your heart desires" and the way you form your words enchants me once again and i can't help it that i just want things to go back to normal. "Or if you need more time to think you can send in my little butterfly"

"Peter?" i ask as i remember you calling him that since, well since he came here a few years ago. "You're starting to remember?"

"Sadly no, i found some of my old diaries and read a few of them. Maybe i should have started reading them from the beginning" you have a sad face as you look down but then you look up again at me. "Can i ask you a question instead?"

"Sure, ask away" i say and you get a small smile on your face.

"I didn't ask anyone else about this because i thought you would know it more exact" you take a breathing pause before continuing with the question. "What was my relationship with everyone right before i... before the mission?"

"Well y/n, you had just had your heart broken my Maria and from what i know was spending every night with Nat. Bucky is one of your best friends as is Nat, Wanda's like your sister is think and Peter is like your little brother. Clint was teaching you how to shot with a bow a arrow, Steve was your gym buddy and then we have the whole super trio with you, Bucky and Steve. Since you're all super soldiers" you look really taken in by my words.

"And you?"

"After the New York battle i became like a father figure for you as you became like my daughter"

"Why? I mean what happened in that battle that changed that? I had already been with you for two years before that" and i see that you have your information right. You probably talked with Natasha about it or you had done a list.

"Your parents died in that fight y/n, they were caught in one of the buildings that got destroyed" i say with the most delicacy i can but you don't even flinch at the information i just gave you. Probably a force of habit to now show much emotion or you've just accepted that death happens even when you least expect it.

"Can you tell me about Maria? What did she do to break my heart?" i guess it was only a matter of time before the question came.

"I don't really know but she told the FBI it was because she said some things about your parents and you. If you wanna know more you'll have to ask her about it"

"Yeah sure, that would be an interesting conversation" you sarcastically say and i would think it was weird how you can go back to normal so fast after everything but i don't. We both laugh as the door opens again to show Peter coming in. You just smile warmly at him so i gesture for him to come in.

"Hi butterfly" you say as a tear falls down your cheek and Peter's whole face lights up at the nickname.

"Hi y/n" he says but still stands in the middle of the room.

"I'll go out so you can talk" i say getting up but he still doesn't move from his position. "Go on kid, it's okay"

With that he runs over to your side and hugs you with all his strength and i make it out the door. It's so cute to see the two of you interact but just as i go out i bump into Wanda.

"Sorry, i was just wondering what was going on. You were in there awhile" she says but i can see there was more to it but ignore it.

"She was just asking a lot of questions, but I think we should leave her to rest now. We can't force a whole new life on her over a few hours. It's gonna take time and we need to remember that even though everything seems dark now we have her back" i'm still turned to Wanda but still speaking to everyone in the room.

"Clint, take her to her room when she and Peter come out. Yelena, you can talk to her later since you know the other her there might be more you can do to get her to remember"

"What about Bucky, didn't they sort of grow up together at Hydra?" Clint asks and i sign.

"But as he has said he hasn't seen her in over a decade and Yelena here saw her a few years ago" i answer without losing my temper. I don't know what would make me lose it now, i have nothing to be angry about. So i just take a deep breath before starting to walk to Pepper and Natasha who are cooking in the kitchen.
