How is any of it relevant?

"Why didn't you tell me." Steve asks when no one is paying attention.

"Tell you what? How I'm a terrible kid. Whose a genius, not good with people and has a bad attitude. Oh, and I forgot to mention being chased! I'm sorry I didn't tell you my real name but that would have put me in danger..."

"It was just a name..." Steve says looking down at his feet.

"It's more than a name... It's me. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just couldn't."

"I'm sorry... I just-" I cut him off.

"It's okay. Whatever." I bring my fist up to give him knuckles but my fist is all bloody. "Oh." I go to wipe my blood on my shirt but Steve grabs my hand and brings me to the sink. He turns it on and grabs a towel and some wrap. He comes back over to my and pours alcohol on my fist. I wince in pain and he looks up at me.

"I'm sorry." He apologizes. I smile and wait for him to go on. He finishes wiping my hands off, and I wince a few times. He then drys my hands off and then wraps them.

"Thank you." I whisper when the rest of the guys come back in.

"What's going on? Flirting with the prisoner?" Clint asks.

"Yeah." I say smiling. "When can I talk to Fury?"

"What? How'd you know about him?" Natasha asks, she must have woken up.

"I know things..." I simply say and take a swig of the alcohol that Steve put on my fist. I'm not an alcoholic or anything. I rarely drink it but it's good and I'm going through a tough time.

"Okay, recite the first forty numbers of pi." Tony says smirking.

"How is that relevant?" I ask raising my eyebrows.

"So you don't know things-" I cut Natasha off.

"3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971" I spit out. I shrug and open the fridge, "Got milk?"

"I didn't even know that." Natasha whispers to Tony.

"Neither did I!" Clint shouts. I take out the carton of milk and pour it into a glass. I chug it and then pull my phone out of my pocket. I dial Fury's number and he picks up.

["What now, Carter? I'm busy!"] Fury yells over the phone.

"Of course you are. Can you stop by Stark tower tomorrow? Around noon?" I ask.

["I'll be there at nine."] He hangs up.

"Why do you have his number? How do you?" Bruce asks.

"I've talked to him before... Hey, I just realized Thor hasn't been here the whole time." I change the subject. "Ooh, we should go out! Chill. Have a party!" I jump up and down.

"Why?" Clint asks.

"Because... You guys captured me. I'm just kidding. I don't know but it sounded cool." I respond.

"That's not my thing..." Steve mumbles.

"Oh, you're gonna cry about it? Toughen up, and have fun!"

"Okay, okay!" Steve smiles as he puts his hands up in defeat.

"Okay, that's settled." I say and clap my hands together.

"Wait, can I bring a friend?" Steve asks.

"Uhh, sure?" I question my answer. I walk away and call my mask over to me. I put it around my neck and look back at them. "If I'm being held hostage by you guys, I deserve a room." Then Tony starts talking to JARVIS.

"On the right." He says. I go to open the door on the right in the hallway, "Next one."

"This one?" I reach for the door.

"One more down." Tony says rolling his eyes.

"How am I supposed to know?!" I stomp into my room and I wait.

I'm going to fix my thrusters and invisibility coat.

"AVICS, is Tony in his work shop?" I ask my artificial intelligence.

"No, ma'am. He's in the kitchen." She says.

"Can you unlock his work shop for me and let me in? Please."

"I can do that ma'am." I smile.

"Thank you!" I jump up and down. I just gotta figure out how to get down there if my invisibility doesn't work. "Where is everybody?"

"Tony, Bruce and Natasha are in the kitchen. Steve and an unknown person are in the gym. Clint is wandering the halls, miss."

"Thank you, AVICS."

"That's my job, miss."
