The Newest Avenger (Marvel × Reader) [Book One]

5.

It was the next day in the afternoon. The boys were playing a card game. I silently observed. I wasn't really a fan of card games. I was starting to get the bored feeling again. That was how we lived. We stayed so quiet that no one would suspect us of anything. It helps keep me and my brothers safe.

I rested my head on my arm that was on the table. "Full house." Brandon says, pleased. Login sighs. "I'm out." Nolan throws his cards down. "Same." Aaron drops his. Alex pulls out his wallet. "Just tell me how much I owe you."
"I got nothing." Jace folds. Ryan smirks. "Straight flush." He reveals his cards. Brandon looked annoyed in his defeat. "Pull out your wallets, boys. Royal flush." Login sassily drops his cards. Everyone gasps and crowds around him. I huff a laugh and sit back up due to a notification. I pull my phone from my pocket.

I look up to see if anyone has noticed. They were all bowing to Login. I roll my eyes and quickly text him back.

[Y/n, we need you.]
                                                    [How soon?]
[You get fifteen minutes.]
                                                [I understand.]

I turn my phone off and slip it back into my pocket. I need a distraction. A long one. I clear my throat. "I'm going to go grocery shopping." I sounded a bit more panicked than intended. "Why all of a sudden?" Nolan asks. I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know. I'm a little bored. We haven't done a grocery run yet this week. Why not?" I sounded a lot more relaxed. "Do you want us to go with you?" Alex offers. "Nah, I think you guys should stay and see if you could try to win your money back." They all 'ooh' and 'ahh'. Login just laughed. "We'll shall see." They all sit back down. I run upstairs. I changed into an outfit. I know this may not be the best 'Avenger' outfit, but worst comes to worst, I can change. I grab my purse.

I walk past the boys. "Have fun." I stated as I put on my shoes. Brandon runs over. "Here's some extra cash." I take it and put it in my purse. "Thanks. Call me if we need anything extra."
"We will!" Ryan mumbles as he chews on a chip. I wave to them and walk out of the door. I closed my eyes. I opened them to the same elevator doors from before.

I go to press the button but stop. I felt someone behind me. I heard a small movement. I turn quickly. My purple glow forming around my hands. "Easy there." Steve warns. He walks past me and presses the button. He stands straight with his hands connected. I wasn't sure what to say. I drop my hands and stand straight, too. I clear my throat and let the silence fill. The elevator dings open. Steve puts his arms out to signal me to go first.

I walked in, and he was close behind. The elevator closes. Silence. I sigh. "What is this?" I aks totally confused. "What's what?" He asks careless. "You were sitting there. It looked like you were waiting on me. "And what if I was?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at me. "Why?"
"I wanted to see how long it would take you." I narrow my eyes. "It's not like I was late." I reason. "Nope." I look straight forward again. I don't understand why he is acting like this.

It's like he is holding a secret over my head. I sigh. "Do you trust us, miss Y/n?" I look at him. "I don't trust anyone unless they prove themselves trustworthy." Steve huffs a laugh. "That's a smart way to live by. Especially if you become an Avenger." He give a smile with his lips. I look at him confused. "So, was this a test?"
"No, I just so happened to walk up from behind you." I go to speak, but the elevator chimes. It opens, and Steve walks through. Why was he acting so... upbeat? I shake it off when I see everybody.

"Ok, today's mission,... Y/n?" Steve calls for me. I pace over. "Sorry." Natasha gives me a smile and places her arm around my shoulder. "Today's mission," Steve tries again. "Search and rescue. There is a plane that is missing. We need to find it and rescue the passengers."
We quietly listened. "Let's stay focused Avengers... and Y/n." Tony says. I couldn't tell if he was being rude or not. I shrug it off. "Alright, Avengers." We all get into a queen jet.
