The Girl With Wings

Settling in the new nest

*Avengers headquarters*

"CLINT, NATASHA!" I ran at my old mentors and basically family,"You know these people?" The man asked, slightly- no VERY intrigued, "Yah, We kinda have to know her Cap. We trained her, she is like an extra daughter to me." "And a daughter I can never could have. " said Natasha, I looked at the man he seemed quiet familiar. His light blonde hair, his Striking blue eyes, and his 1940s-OMG! "Y-your Captain America, you ar-were my brother's Favorite superhero. That and Your friend The Falcon." the door opened and a Handsome man entered, He looked at Steve and Natasha, then Clint and Finally...me. "Did someone say the Falcon!" I blushed bright red." I did. You and Spangles were My brothers favorite superheroes."

My wings sprouted out of my back like they were asking to see the Falcon ,my superhero crush. "Oh, she can also do that, I found her in a H.Y.D.R-" "W.O.L.F." Steve looked at me "Wannabe Hydra organization." Sam smiled at my wings "YES! Flying partner!" Steve and Sam smiled as Clint and Nat looked at my wings."Joanie, When did you get wings?" Nat said dangerously, I was suddenly on edge, how long ago did they take Evan and Me?

"She never had wings before? She seemed quite comfortable when she used them at the base to cover herself more." "No Cap. These were genetically attached, I don't know how long I was in that base but I did not come out unscathed." I pulled up my right sleeve gently making sure I did not open any other wounds and get hurt again. Clint, Sam and Steve stood there stunned, While Nat gently grabbed my left arm and pulled down the sleeve. "Oh My God," Sam said getting closer to the arm, Nat pulled it down enough to see the big 45 on my arm." Joanie" she said quietly she grabbed me and pulled me into a hug.

"How long nat?" She looked at me ,"a year since you called the base, Maria got there after they had started to take off, I was there I went into the house and I saw Emily and I assumed the worse, Clint and I made sure she got a heroes burial." I started to sob into her shoulder. "Shhh, Дорогая(My darling), you are ok now." I heard the door creak open, but I ignored it. "Nat, Caaa- Who is this?" the man said, annoyed. I stood up straighter. "I am Joanie Veronica Houston. You may call me Joan." The man looked confused and then he laughed "haha. That is very funny, I am SOO calling you Joansies." Nat looked at him with Murder on her face.Tony stopped laughing. Then he noticed my arms, I hid my wings when I showed my scars and burns." Wow, did you get Bruce to look at that?"

*5 months later*

I had finally settled in to my home and was glad, Steve, Sam,Natasha, and Bruce were my best friends. I tolerated Tony and I haven't met the other Avengers. I couldn't fly yet but that was because they were damaged. Sam and I spent our free time jogging with Cap. I can keep up, with a little bit of help from my wings.

Nat and Clint still trained me, and I loved it. My birthday was coming up and I was excited, I stood on my balcony and looked at the clouds, much like Steve I liked to draw. I spent my nights on the balcony, drawing the base. I spread my wings and wrapped them around me.

"You need to get out of the nest, Miss Joanie." I groaned, Sam wanted a flying partner that wasn't Stark and he had been trying to get me to fly. "Come on I'll help, hold my hand and I will drag you along, let wings stretch and when you can fly along." I looked at him, he gave me the biggest puppy dog eyes and I caved, Clint and Nat are going to kill him for pressuring me. "Fine" His face lit up like a Christmas tree an he held out his hand.

I took his hand and almost immediately he flew me up."Your like a feather compared to the star-spangled man with a plan." I smiled and he did too. I stretched my wings and the caught the air currents. "WOOHOOO!!!" I flapped my wings and then let go of Sam's hand. I flew along side him, smiling as big as I could. Evan would've loved this...Evan. my smile turned to a frown and I struggled to keep my concentration on my flying. Sam noticed and sorta hovered in mid air.

" What's going on? Are you ok?" He grabbed and hugged me, I froze and soon melted into the hug." Evan, he he would love flying with me and you, that is how he died."

*Flash back*

"He died because his wings did not attach right, He bled to death, Because of you!!" she stabbed my arms "Y-you a-are INSANE!!" "I know! Isn't it great!?!" and she took a hot dagger to my hand,It burned into my skin, I screamed.

"Scream all you want, It won't matter. So tell me were the base is and I will stop." "Never" she then proceeded to stab the burning knife into a old wound.

*End of Flash back*

"I am so sorry." Sam said we sat on my balcony rail. "It is not your fault Sam, how could you know that he was meant to have wings too." Sam's eye twitched. "How old was he?" "Nine, he was going to his first day of highschool" Sam looked at me "He had an IQ of 320, everything was too easy so my Mom sent him to High school, not that challenging but enough for him to keep him going." "How old are you exactly?" He asked "I am 25 years old, My mom had me at 22 to an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D," which was true."Who was the Agent?" Sam asked, I lied and continued to speak. "Who knows, never met him, Mom took a leave of work for a couple of years to raise me. When she came back, she brought me. She asked Natasha, Maria, and Clint to train me." Sam looked at me taken aback, "I am scared to ask but, what was your 1st mission?" I thought about it and replied,
"Technically speaking I haven't had one, My mom dropped out to save me from a possible near death mission. Fury wanted me to go on a month long mission to a Hydra base. I was 16 at the time"

Sam looked at me with new respect. "You are amazing" my stomach did loop-de-loops and My heart fluttered. Do I have a bigger crush on Sam since I first met him, yes. Only Steve and Natasha know about it. "I am not that great. I just did my job."

"And very well for that fact, Deary." My heart and stomach plummeted right down to Antarctica. It was Agent 45.
