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

23.

After everything, my brothers were happy to see me again. I told them a few things, and everyone was stunned that I was able to fight on my own. Natasha was beyond proud of me copying her moves.

After the party, I went to go see my brothers again. They went home late last night. I teleported to their door and knocked on it. It was noon-ish. One of them should at least be up.

Login opened the door. He was trying to pat down his bed head. I smile seeing him. "Hey, wass up?" He asks, not expecting me. "I thought I'd come say, 'hi'." He looks at me confused. "Y/n, we saw each other last night?"

"I know, but I miss you guys."
"Who's at the door?" Y/n recognized Alex's voice. Login opens the door wider so he can see me. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to come by."
"Well, what are you waiting for?"

I walk inside, and Login closes the door. "Anything specific that you do need? I'm not saying you're not welcome." Alex asks. I take a breath. "Is Nolan up yet?"
"I can check." Login offers. "I have an apology that I owe him."

Login nods and runs up the stairs. "No hangover?" Alex asks. I shake my head. "You?"
"Just a small one. I'll get over it." I nodded. I looked around the house. "Looks like you guys had a hell of a kidnapping."

"You're one to talk. At least we weren't cornered into it."
"It's not a competition, Alex." I say as I roll my eyes. He just scoffs. My eyes glowed purple as I fixed the room. I picked up the glass, fixed the broken furniture, and fixed the curtains that were cut through.

My eyes went back to normal when I finished. "Always have to show off." He says faking being upset. "We both know it would have taken you guys a year to fix all of this. Since you guys don't like to clean after yourselves."

"Yeah, sure." He says to tease me. "Be honest. How many of you have gotten glass in your foot from this mess?" He thinks for a moment. "Only a few times."
"A person."
"No!"

We lightly argued. Nolan walked down the stairs. He looked exhausted. "Hi."
"Hey?" His mood slightly brightens. "Can we talk?"
"Yeah, c'mon." I follow him up the stairs. We went into my old bedroom. "Oh yeah, you still need to take all your stuff to the compound, right?"

I looked around at all of my stuff. I do need to do that eventually. "So, what do you want to talk about?" He asks and sits on my bed. I sigh. "I need to apologize for how I acted when I left."

"No, I was the one who acted like an ass. You shouldn't have to apologize." It was always awkward trying to have a one on one conversation with Nolan. We just never really clicked like that. He patted the bed, signaling me to sit beside him.

I do. "We both weren't happy with each other's opinions. The only difference is that you stood by yours. I guess I wasn't used to you standing up for yourself in that way." Nolan explains.

"So, if anybody is going to apologize, it should be the person who was in the wrong." He adds. I still felt guilty for yelling at him. "I'm sorry, Y/n." He finishes. I wasn't sure what to say.

This entire time, I blamed myself. I never once held a grudge over Nolan. If anything, I understood why he felt that way. "I'm sorry for going behind yours and everyone's backs. I should have told you, but -"
"We wouldn't have let you in the beginning? Y/n, I'm happy you found your way."

"I see the way you interact with the Avengers. You look at them like you belong, and you do. Ever since you stayed with us, you acted as if you had a debt to pay. Like you owed us because we helped you all those years ago, and nothing you did would ever make it even."

Nolan puased for a moment. I guess I did always feel like I had to prove to them just how thankful I was. It did feel nice to feel equal with the Avengers. "I want you to know I think you're an amazing Avenger, not that you need my approval."

I smile at him and hug him. This was the first time Nolan and I have ever hugged. He wasn't very big on affection since I've met him. However, his embrace felt nice. He hugged me back slowly. We soon depart from each other. He pats my head.

"Go be one of earth's mightiest heroes." He ruffles my hair a bit. "I will." I stated.

Eventually, I was able to bring all my stuff to the compound with the help of my powers and my brothers. It was starting to feel more like home in the tower. My room was beautifully decorated. My brothers all said their goodbyes, and I promised them I would visit whenever I could.

Everything was falling into place, and I was finding my place in the group. I was finally shown on the news. I was in my suit, and I looked badass, to be honest. My identity was Power, and quite a few people enjoyed it.

Of course, not everyone was excited for a new female superhero, but Steve always reminded me that my job was more important than the fans. I agreed with his statement. So to sum up, I'm Power. I'm an Avenger, and I have seven adopted brothers.

I don't know how I have these powers, but I have decided to use them for good. My parents are unknown, and I don't remember all of my past. I only look to the future now with my new family and friends. I am Power.
