You woke up to the constant beeping of a heart rate monitor in a cleanroom. Everything had the smell of being sterilized, a scent you knew well from your days in the war.

As the memory of the past events filled your head, you bolted up. Where was your best friend? The last time you saw him he was dying! Shooting to your feet, you rid yourself of everything connected to your body, cords and all. 

Healing yourself with a quick spell, You started for the door. Before you could open it, someone else did.

The person stepped into the room enveloped you in a tight hug. 

You and Wanda were about the same height, even if she was a few years older than you. As she let go, you saw that she had tears in her eyes. She was also wearing a black outfit, with her new red jacket.

"Did he make it?" You whisper quietly.

"You tried your best. You did your best. Unfortunately-"

A blue blur ran past you. "Stop making me sound like I'm dead little sister."

"Unfortunately, he is now more insufferable and was fully healed immediately." Wanda sarcastically said with a smile. "Thank you, I don't know what my mental state would be like if he was gone."

Vision materialized through the wall. 

"Vis! We talked about this!"

"Yes but the door was open, so I assumed-" He trailed off under Wanda's scolding glare. "Mr. Stark wanted me to inform you to come down as soon as you were ready. I'll use the door." 

"Ok, Vis wait up!" Wanda says as she happily engages in conversation with him while walking out.

"I ship it." You say at the same time a Pietro. You high-five each other. 

"But if he hurts her-" Pietro started to say.

"We'll be on his ass like wet grass." You promise. "But I doubt that will happen. Let's head down to see what the Tin Can has to say."

Tony has a tally board labeled 'Strays'. On it were two names, Fossil and Genius. Under Fossil there were three lines.

"You didn't really have to make it Tony," Steve said exasperated. "And I think there should only be two tallys, that one might as well had highjacked the jet and decided to tag along." He added, pointing to you.

Tony shot you a glance. "Is that why there are small scratches and punctures on the jet?"

You shrugged nonchalantly while staying silent.

"Just get to the point Tony," Hawkeye said. "I want to go home."

"Ok, ok." Tony flipped the tally board around. On the other side, 'New recruits' with Vision, Pietro, Wanda, War Machine, and Falcon's names written on the board. 

"Whose Falcon?" Barton asks.

"About that-" Steve says sheepishly.

Tony proceeds to flip the board around and add another tally under 'Fossil'. "I just wanted everyone to see and approve the new recruits. As they've already been here for a few days-"

"A few days?!?" You whisper shriek. 

"Yes, you've been here recovering for the past five days." Steve states.

"Mother is going to kill me! I'll be in touch! And I say yes to your offer! See you guys in a few days if I'm not dead!" With that, you conjure a portal under you to the Sanctum Sanctorum.

"What the hell-" Nat said.

"Yea she does that." Pietro and Wanda say at the same time.

"I've seen that before somewhere." Tony murmurs. "FRIDAY? Can you pull up the footage from a minute ago and run it through all the footage we have from the last few years?"
