Indigo stepped out of the car, her muscles stiff from the long drive. As she stretched her arms overhead, she glanced around the parking lot, scanning for signs of movement. Her eyes lit up when she spotted Clint emerging from a van, followed closely by Wanda.
A surge of relief washed over her, dispelling some of the tension that had coiled in her chest during the long journey. Without a second thought, she jogged over to where Wanda was stepping out, her face breaking into a wide smile as she closed the distance.
"Wanda!" Indigo called out, her voice tinged with genuine joy and affection. She wrapped her arms around her cousin in a tight embrace.
"Cap, Indie," Clint greeted, his voice tinged with both relief and apology as he pulled Indigo into a hug.
Indigo returned the embrace warmly, feeling a rush of gratitude mixed with guilt. "I'm really sorry I had to pull you away from your kids, Clint. I just needed your help," she admitted softly, her voice carrying a weight of responsibility.
"It's okay, I'd do anything for you," Clint said with a warm smile directed at Indigo.
Steve, standing nearby, shifted the conversation with a glance toward their new recruit. "How about our other recruit?" he interjected, his tone a blend of curiosity and concern, indicating a readiness to address the next steps of their mission.
"He's rarin' to go. Had to put a little coffee in him, but... he should be good," Clint announced with a half-smile, opening the van door as he spoke. Indigo turned her attention towards the vehicle, watching curiously as a somewhat awkward-looking man emerged.
Sam had mentioned a contact who could assist them, a guy named Scott Lang. Indigo wasn't entirely sure what Scott's role would be in their mission, but she felt reassured knowing they had more allies joining their cause.
"What timezone is this?" Scott asked, looking around with a mix of confusion and curiosity.
"Come on. Come on," Clint urged, gently pushing Scott towards Indigo and Steve, who were standing ready to brief him on the situation.
Steve extended his hand towards Scott.
"Captain America," Scott's eyes widened in awe as he shook Steve's hand. "It's an honor. I'm shaking your hand too long. Wow! This is awesome! Captain America."
Indigo couldn't help but smile at Scott's enthusiasm. She stepped forward, extending her hand towards him. "And I'm Indigo."
Scott's gaze shifted to Indigo, and his expression softened with admiration. "You're freaking Enigma, wow, you're like super pretty.
Indigo couldn't suppress a laugh as she turned to see Bucky glaring at Scott, who seemed oblivious to the tension.
"Jeez." Scott says, Indigo watches as he touches Steve shoulder. "Ah, look, I wanna say, I know you know a lot of super people, so . . . thinks for thanking of me."
