Little Avenger

2a

Fury and I got on a jet a few hours ago and we just landed on a very large boat. We get out and I walk closely next to him, not knowing what is going on, or where the hell I am.

"Romanoff." Fury calls.

"Ah, Fury." Romanoff smirks. "Child."

"Hi." I greet, looking serious.

"What is a kid doing here?"

"Very powerful kid." Fury corrects. "You wanna show her what you can do?"

"Maybe later." I nod and he smirks.

"Alright, later." Fury agrees and Romanoff smiles.

"What's your name?" She asks.

"Lily. Yours?"

"Natasha. You can call me Nat."

"Okay." I smile.

"She will be following you." Fury states. "Have fun."

He walks away and I shake my head with a sigh. I look back at Nat and she looks at me.

"What now?"

"You're going to follow me and I am going over there."

Nat slowly starts walking off until, I catch up and we walk a normal, not annoying, pace.

We stop just outside another jet as two men step out.

"Ma'am." The tall blond greets.

"Hi." Nat says, turning to the other. "They need you on the bridge. Face time."

"See you there."

He walks off and Nat and the guy start walking and I quickly follow. The guy looks down at me and looks very confused. I smile and take hold of Nats hand. She jumps and looks down at me with a small smile before looking forward, again.

"There was quite the buzz around here, finding you in the ice. I thought Coulson was gonna swoon. Did he ask you to sign his Captain America trading cards?"

"You're Captain America?" I quickly ask.

"I am." Steve chuckles. "Umm? Trading cards?"

"They're vintage, he's very proud." Nat continues.

"What's your name?" Steve asks me.

"Lily. I know you. Big fan."

"Thank you." He smiles.

We see a man looking around, nervous as hell as people race by him.

"Dr. Banner." Steve calls and he turns.

"Oh, yeah. Hi. They told me you'd be coming." Banner states as he walks beside us.

"Word is, you can find the cube."

"Is that the only word on me?"

"Only word I care about."

Steve and Banner continue walking while Nat and I stop. The two men continue speaking until, they stop at a ledge.

"Gentlemen." Nat calls. "You may wanna step inside in a minute. It's gonna get a little hard to breathe."

Suddenly, the big ass boat starts shaking and I quickly move my other hand to hold Nat.

"It's okay." She coos as she crotches down to my level.

I'm a short ten year-old.

The boat starts to go up and I realize that this is definitely not a boat but, a very large helicarrier. I smile and Nat looks at me, smiling as well when she sees mine.

-

"We're at lock, sir." A tall woman shouts to Fury.

"Good. Let's vanish."

We are all in the helicarrier, now. I'm still next to Nat until, she sticks me with Steve and walks off. Him and Banner walk through a bridge until, we stop at a round computer table.

"Gentlemen." Fury greets.

"Uh? Excuse me?" I ask with attitude.

"And Lady." He continues.

Steve hands Fury ten bucks and I laugh, not having a clue what that is for. Maybe a bet? Fury walks over to Banner and sticks out his hand, Banner hesitantly shaking it. Poor guy has so much anxiety.

"Doctor, thank you for coming." Fury says.

"Thanks for asking nicely. So, uh, how long am I staying?"

"Once we get our hands on the tesseract, you're in the clear."

"Where are you with that?"

The guy from before, I'm guessing Coulson, comes in and they start talking science shit while I sit at one of the seat by the computers. Nat comes in and start talking with them. I zone out until, Nat and Banner walk out.

"Hey, wait. Where're they going?"

"She's showing him a lab." Steve answers. "May I ask what you're doing here?"

"Muscle." I smirk.

"Yeah, and how old are you?"

"Ten."

"How exactly are you going to be muscle?"

"I'll show you later." I state and hear Fury chuckle.

Steve gives me a confused look and I smile.
