Me and Natasha dart into Stark Towers stumbling in fatigue from flying all of this way, basically across the world. We did it in a reasonable amount of time though because Steve isn't even back from Korea yet. Stumbling through the door we catch the attention of Tony and Bruce, both clicking and tapping random buttons on the screen while plugging and unplugging certain things from the cradle.

"We're back." We huff while Tony and Bruce steal concerned glances at each other. Clint then barges from a side room that branches off of the lab and comes to greet me and Natasha, but mostly Natasha.

"Thank God-" Clint semi sighed as he hugged Natasha really tightly, putting both of his hands on her face and tilting it, making sure she's okay and not hurt.

"I'm fine Clint. Just a couple of scratches, nothing more nothing less." Nat says while placing her hands on Clint's and directing them to his sides. Clint then takes a look at me and does the same exact thing. He embraces me in the 2nd tight hug I've gotten today and both of them are from major assassins.

"Told you assassins are just major fluffballs." I stated while my mouth was accidentally muffled against Clint's neck while he was hugging me. I felt his chest raise up and down while vibrating, laughing while he pulled away from me. I laughed along with Natasha and Clint and started to focus on Tony and Bruce. Not for long though.

"I'm gonna say this once." Steve, Pietro, and Wanda stomp into the room while looking mad as hell. Me, Clint, and Natasha's smiles and laughs all fade as we try and decipher what they're mad about.

"How about nonce?" Tony shot back. I for the most part don't pay attention to their emotion, I just rush up to Steve and hug him. Checking his uniform and arms I try and see if he's hurt. Glancing up he shyly smiles at me before his gaze turns to grey as he stares up at Tony. I then walk to Pietro and Wanda who are behind Steve. Pietro has a pained expression as he is staring at Steve, but then directs his attention towards me once he knows I'm paying attention.

"Are you guys good." I softly whisper, trying to comfort them and not make them angry. I lightly skimmed Pietro's shoulders and arms and I do the same to Wanda. I can slightly remember the way it felt whenever we were a close knit group, only having that one memory to base my emotions off of. Muscle has memory and I can remember the way it felt to be in Pietro's arms and the way it felt to have Wanda watch over my dreams protectively. I grin at both of them before returning to the left of Steve, watching as him and Tony steal mean glares at each other.

"Shut it down!" Steve yells at Tony

"Nope!" Stark shoots back and Bruce gives a nasty, angry look to the twins.

"Not going to happen." Stark continues

"You don't know what you're doing." Steve says

"And you do? She's not in your head?"

"Hey-" I try and speak but the commotion and tense nature of the room is holding my tongue.

"I know you're angry-" Wanda starts as she moves from the shadows of her brother to the light of the lab.

"Oh we're way past that. I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade." Bruce nastily shot back. I've never seen his emotions this dark before, only whenever he is the Hulk.

"Banner after everything that's happened-" Steve starts

"Is nothing compared to what's coming!" Tony yells

"Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on!" I yell but no one hears me. Everyone is screaming at each other and the commotion is beyond comprehension.
