Miss Velvet

The Meeting

Today, Y/N is starting her biggest project yet. After extensive discussions with Tony Stark and Gen Ross for the last month, agreements were finally reached and she will be working with SHIELD agents to give riding lessons to any agent that isn't proficient AND equine therapy for physical and mental health concerns when deemed appropriate. She never imagined that she would work with Tony Stark to help his PTSD after Thanos when she stopped by the veterans ctr a few months after half the world disappeared. She only stopped by in hopes that Sam Wilson would be there. They met a few times when she was in DC lobbying to have therapeutic horsemanship covered for veterans. Yn found out Sam had been taken in the snap and ended up making friends with Steve Rogers. He contacted Pepper and gave her Yn number to see if she could help Tony who wasn't doing well after everything that went down. Steve also introduced her to Nat and they  bonded over multiple trail rides and girls day/nites.

Yn was hoping that everyone would be receptive and that she could help them. Staring in the mirror, trying to look good without looking like she's trying, while being ready to head over to her stable for orientation. Sure seems like all of the Avengers rolled an 18 charisma because how could so many of them be so pretty? More intimidating than any actual powers they might have.

She sighs, fixes her long hair into a French braid, uses her moisturizer/sun screen, some mascara and a light dusting of powder accepting that she's too tall and plain looking to be noticed anyhow. Jeans, tank top with a purple flannel and purple boots that match her belt with the Disney belt buckle. Throwing her cane and couple of edibles in her bag, in case the pain gets bad she grabs the keys to her little SUV and heads over to the compound. It's only a couple of miles but she has too much to do later and doesn't want to start the day angering her back or knee walking.

Presentation with all available, lunch with the Avengers and then a tour around her stable with the mightiest heroes. Busiest day she's had in awhile.

First, a large meeting introducing her to all the agents that are on-site and letting them know about her and the stable she runs. All of the agents are required to have at least one lesson with her to evaluate their riding skills to ensure they are at least competent. Those who need further instruction will be scheduled for lessons.

Yn also talks about therapeutic horsemanship and how she can help with physical therapy after injuries and on the ground work for PTSD and other mental health concerns.

Last but not least, a meeting/lunch with the Avengers.

Back to the stable after lunch to give a tour to the Avengers. Answer questions, schedule lessons and evals for each of them.

Velvet also ran a stable closer to the city for special needs and at risk youth but was only able to be there 1-2 days a week since her contract with SHIELD stipulates that she personally oversees any lessons or therapy for their agents. Her former trainer and mentor, Mike, is in charge of that site but she has him onsite to meet the SHIELD crowd.

The presentation with agents and team leaders goes well. All she has to do is get thru this luncheon with the Earth's Mightiest Hero's and she can go back to the stable where she is in her element.

When she gets to the conference room she can hear that they all seem to be in good spirits which is a good start. Y/N takes a deep breath, slowly releases it and walks through the open doorway. As soon as she's in the room everyone quiets down and looks over at her while she smiles and looks at Tony.

Tony speaks up, "Alright campers, I'd like to introduce a new official member to our family that's actually been with us since right after the snap. This is Y/N, aka Miss Velvet, our own Horse Whisperer. Y/N, you know Steve and Nat so there's Wilson-"
