Winter's Wolf (Avengers Fanfiction)

Eight...

POV SWITCH: WINTER

It didn't take long for someone to burst through the door of my cage. I noted that for future purposes. I was delighted to see that it was Steve.

I felt my tail twitch.

Steve looked around the room, twice before his eyes met mine under the bed. "What was all that about?" He asked me, a little incredulous.

I gave my tail a thump, moving my head out from under the bed. I perked my ears, I still hadn't heard a response though.

Steve seemed to have heard my deep inhale because he quickly covered his ears just before I let out another, longer howl.

It took a few seconds this time before I heard a response. It was muffled, but it wasn't far.

Steve seemed to have picked up on it too, "Oh, you miss Buck- James... You miss James,". He corrected himself mid-sentence. He seemed to be a little upset about it.

"I don't think you're allowed to regroup at the moment, I'd have to ask the others," he decided after staring at me for a few, long moments.

I moved my upper half out from under the bed, making eye contact with Steve. We stared at each other for a few more moments.

"I'll go ask..." Steve decided, heading back out the door.

Delightful.

"But they haven't been hostile towards us," I tried.

"Steve. They have been here for literally less than four hours. Barnes literally tried to choke out Natasha," Clint argued, looking unamused.

Tony motioned towards Clint, agreeing with him.

Natasha continued to look indifferent near the monitors.

Bruce had long since abandoned the room to go back to the lab.

"He didn't try to choke her," I argued, looking at Natasha.

"He may not have, but the threat was there," Clint argued again.

"If he had wanted to kill me, he wouldn't need to choke me. He could have easily broken my neck. We have something over him and he knows it," she motioned to the monitor Winter was on.
