You wake up sweaty, breathing deeply.
"Y/N." Nat says shaking you to wake up. You bolt upright,
"Hey, it's okay," "it's okay, I'm here." She cooed stroking your hair. You clutch at the sheets trying to catch your breath.
"Sorry." You say still breathless.
"Don't be, does this happen often?"
"Every night since..." "You know." You trail off.
She looks at you, her eyes soft and sympathetic, she hated how much this affected you.
"It's okay, I'm okay." You reassured her. "Go back to sleep," You force a smile.

In the morning you wake up and find Nat out of bed. You wander round the room and out into the corridor looking for her. You zip up the elevator to the breakfast room hoping you'd see her there, to your surprise you walk in and find all the avengers gathered around Nat and Tony presenting something on a screen, you crane your head to see what it is but Nat sees you and snaps it off quick. Everyone turns around, watching you and quickly they all disperse. You walk up to Nat a confused look on your face,
"What's going on?"
"I- I'll tell you soon."
"No, Natasha it's something about me, I can tell. Fair enough if it was some secret mission you have to hide but it's not. I know it's not." You say sternly and she just stands staring at you with crossed arms.
"Hah, okay then." You snort walking away.
"Y/N." Tony shout behind you but you put your hand up to stop him. Thor darts in front of the door, scoops you up and plants you back down in front of Tony.
"If you'd let me speak." He says watching you roll your eyes.
"We would like to offer you a job."
"I already have a job," you scoff unimpressed.
"Y/N we would like to offer you a job as an avenger."
Your eyes widen and your jaw drops to the floor.
"Coulda told me at a different time, kinda hard to stay pissed at you now." You say smirking.
"That was the plan." He replies cocking his head.
"So that's what you were talking about in the middle of the night." You ask turning to Nat who just smiles and nods at you.

You sit down with the others, Nat stands at the front and explains to you that she couldn't tell you before the others had voted whether they wanted you or not, sounds harsh but fair.
"So is it a yes?" She asks.
"Of course!" You laugh at the idea that there could be any other answer.
"Good to have you Y/N." Steve says. Followed by an eruption of pats on the back by everyone.
"You're gonna need a super cool name and a super cool suit."
"Are you saying my names not cool?" You retort sarcastically.

You spend the next few days with tony designing suits you settle on a black leather, skin tight suit similar to Nat's, with a deep red bodice and accents along the sleeves and legs, paired with the same red on a mask that covers around your eyes.
"That one!" You say eyes lighting up at the sight of it.
"Perfect, I'll have it made for you." "Follow me," You follow Tony up to nearly the top floor and enter a magical world of gadgets and light blue holograms projected from everywhere. He leads you over to a table and instructs you on how to use it. He taps on the table revealing a body-sized pod, you step in and stay still, arms outstretched whilst blue beams scan up and down your body taking your measurements.
You step out and take over from Tony, dragging special abilities onto your suit: Shock absorbents to soften the blows from both other peoples punches and your own, a built in hologram into your left sleeve and a utility belt like Natasha's with a holster and an array of knives.

You step back, giddy with excitement.
"Now," "You need a name."
"I've been thinking about that but I can't think of anything."
"Friday," He calls out. You tilt your head confused.
"Give her a superhero name." He says, and a voice responds.
"Scanning, sir." Your eyes widen no idea what's going on as more blue rays scan you.
"Crimson Spirit, sir." The robotic voice answers.
"Yes Friday!" "Thank you."
"No problem sir." It responds pausing briefly after every word.
"I like it." You say nodding your head.
"Crimson from my suit and spirit? Not too sure why the robot picked it out but it sounds cool."
"Friday." "Why spirit?" He asks.
"Spirit. Y/N is agile and can be felt without being there, like her party trick."
"NOT a party trick."

After Tony releases you, you bounce down the hallway to see Nat who has been discharged from the medical bay. You find her in her room, on her bed lying down, eyes staring into space.
"Nat!"
"Y/N!" She shouts with the same enthusiasm sitting up.
"Nope, not Y/N. Crimson spirit." You announce sparkling your hands.
"I love it." She giggles.
"Crimson because my suit has crimson on it and spirit because with my superpowers I can be felt and not seen. And also I'm extremely agile." You say still beaming, proud of your new name.
"Nicee," "Do you have your suit yet?"
"Not yet I've designed it but Tony says I won't have it until the end of the day."
"Tell me about it!" Nat says nearly as excited as you are.
"Nooo. It's a surprise." "I'll show you when I get it." "Also," You add, "does this mean I get my own room in THE avengers tower?"
"Yeah, of course."
"YESSSS." You say pulling your fist down.

At seven you stroll down the corridor with Natasha heading to Tony's lab to pick up your suit. You burst in and Tony presents you with it.
"It's gorgeous!" You say already unbuttoning your shirt.
"Both of you, turn around." You bark.
"Okay." You cue them to turn around once you had slipped it on. "How do I look?"
"WOW." Natasha exclaims, "beautiful, y-you look amazing." You smile at her blushing.
"Fits perfectly Y/N." Tony says, also smiling at how pleased you are with it.
"You ever gonna take that off now?" Nat asks.
"Hell no." You answer like it was the craziest thing to suggest.

Sure enough you turn up to dinner two hours later still in your suit. You walk in fashionably late so that everyone would notice and sure enough as you made your grand entrance everyone put their cutlery down and started clapping and cheering, complimenting you as you sat down.
"Wow Y/N. That is something." Thor tells you.
"You look exquisite." Clint says from opposite you smiling gently. You return the smile and give him a thankful nod. You reach for the spoon in the pot of beef and chickpea curry but before you get there Clint grabs your plate.
"Here, let me do it for you." Giving the the same smile as before although this time you give him a more confused one back. You ignore it and tuck into your meal.
"Mmmm, who made this?" You ask.
"Cap did,"
"Well done Cap, it's delicious."
"Thanks, my speciality." He stated.

"Well," Thor announces after everyone had finished, slapping his knees as he stands up, "I'd like to do the honours of showing Y/N to her new room." You clap your hands in excitement.
"It's all yours," Tony answered gesturing to the door. You follow Thor up to you room, about 2 floors up from the lounge, and opens the door. You step in and find your ID card and key card on your dressing table, the rooms slightly differently arranged to Natasha's with your bathroom on the other side of the room and your bed facing another way but other than that it's pretty much the same. You look around the room and realise that it looks so similar to Nat's because she hasn't decorated it, at all. You lay on your bed and think about whether you should rent out or sell the apartment and decide on rent in case you get kicked out or fired or whatever. You also think about how you're going to decorate it: You must bring Rick, your plant has a very special place in your heart and you couldn't imagine throwing him away, you would also bring the guitar that you never have time to play. You make a list of what your going to keep in the apartment and what you're going to bring with you.

Keep
TV- Never going to have time and the odd movie night you can watch on your computer.
You realise that's about it and the rest you can just keep there when you rent the apartment as it isn't too well decorated anyway.
Bring
Laundry baskets- You really don't wanna be carrying armfuls of dirty washing down flights of stairs.
Plants
Guitar
Your coffee machine- You don't know what you'd do without it.
and finally Your rug- It's just so cool.

You don't see the others for the rest of the night and instead pull your suit off and decide to go to sleep early knowing that you'll most likely be interrupted by nightmares all night and wake up tomorrow feeling like hell.
