"Good morning y/n, Mr. Stark has requested your presence at the breakfast table. He got 'some exciting news',like he put it" JARVIS' voice ripped me out of my peaceful sleep and startled the shit out of me.

"No! Tell him he can ask in two hours again... maybe" I replied, my voice still raspy. For a split second I was confused to why I was laying in my bed, since I couldn't remember walking to my room last night, but quickly shrugged it off.

"Y/n!" Stark's voice sounded in my room. "Get up, it's 10:30, half the team is already training"

"Shut up" I complained.

"Y/n l/n I suggest you get up right now or I tell Buck to come and get you" now I heard Steve through the hidden speakers.

Letting out a whine, I complied and groggily stumbled to towards the common floor, where only three people were.

"Good morning hun" Nat greeted me as I yawned and slumped down on a chair.

"Hm- mornin'" I slurred, grabbing a pancake.

Tony chuckled at half asleep me. "Jeez kid, you must've really been out cold when we woke you, sorry for that. But whatever, we decided to send you to school in a few days so you get more social interaction because your HYDRA records say you never got out on your own, which means you have like zero social skills with strangers"

Now I was wide awake and it felt like my heart stopped beating for a second. "W-what?" I stuttered, my voice suddenly feeble.

"I got JARVIS order everything you'll need, don't worry" Tony continued.

"N-no, no please, why?" I was completely stunned.

"What's wrong? C'mon, it'll be a new experience and fun, Peter's also there" Nat said, now eyebrows a bit furrowed in concern at how I reacted.

"No, please, please don't do this" I pleaded. "I don't wanna get beaten up again"

"What!?" Steve exclaimed. "No one's getting beaten up!"

"But at HYDRA when we h-had lessons, they would beat us up if we got something wrong and I-I'm not good enough to get everything right-" I rambled, but Nat cut me off with a hug.

"Shh, no one will hurt you there, okay. Whatever you associate with school, it's not what you experienced at HYDRA. The teachers won't even touch you" She assured.

"Really? Please, I don't wanna get hit" I wasn't sure if she said the truth, but on the other hand why should she lie to me?

"I promise, it's nothing like what you've experienced" she stated firmly and pulled away from the hug.

"Okay" I whispered.

"Hey and also, Peter-kid will be at your side the whole time" Tony added.

"You will be known as y/n l/n, despite that your legal last name would be Nat's and mine, so no one will suspect anything" Steve told me and I nodded.

"Perfect, now that everything's settled, Fury gave orders to pick up your training again, so that what you're gonna do" Tony said, clapped his hands together and stood up. "I'm in my lab"

Steve, Nat and I made our way to the training floor, where most Avengers already were. Nat walked off to Clint and Steve and I positioned ourselves on the mats for sparring.

"Okay, let's recall the moves you already learned" he instructed and I exercised some of my old tricks. After a few minutes of warm-up, he seemed pleased with the results and said he would show me some new moves.

"Head up"

"Sorry"

"Don't apologize, we had that" he pointed a finger at me and I tried to punch him, but he caught my fist easily. I spun around, using my body weight to pull him with me and threw him onto the mat.

"Very good" he praised, making me smile. I still wasn't quite used to getting compliments and it gave me this warm sensation, but in a nice way.

Next thing I knew, my legs were taken out from underneath me and I was laying on the ground with Steve pinning down my shoulders.

"Never think you're finished after landing one good hit. We really need to work on your focus" he said.

"Ey Rogers, how's it goin'?" Bucky shouted from across the room and Steve's head whipped towards his friend.

I smirked at the perfect opportunity, but before my fist could collide with his head, Steve caught it. Again. He didn't even look. Now he was sending me this accusing really-look.

"See what I mean?" He confirmed his statement from a minute ago, then shouted over to Bucky: "Nice try!"

Well, now I realized why he was Captain America. The only way out that I saw was to shift, so that's what I did. I shifted into a lioness and could easily free myself, so we both were now circling each other.

I jumped at him, but he blocked with his shield that he just grabbed and threw me off. I smirked internally, since I couldn't do it in lion form and shifted into a cat, then running around his legs to confuse him and shifted back into lioness to get more strength in my legs.

I kicked his back and he rolled over the mat to cushion the fall, but before he could stand up, I towered over him, one paw at his throat.

Unfortunately I didn't see his shield coming as it collided with my side and I was thrown into the wall. That hurt. A lot. Stumbling, I rose to my feet and shook my head to clear my vision before charging at him once again.

He had his shield already in front of him, ready to thrust me across the room, but this time I would use this to my advantage. I shifted into a cheetah to get faster and jumped directly at his shield. Of course he pushed me off him, but this time I shifted midair back into human and made a flip to land on my feet in a defensive posture.

"Ha! And you're calling me a poser?!" Nat's voice made me look around only to see most of the Avenger watching us.

"Gotta always look good" I replied smiling. In situations like this, I really appreciated that HYDRA taught me how to do flips and such stunts.

"She's got a point" Nat said, making Yelena roll her eyes playfully.
