Avenger, With Wings?

Chapter 4

(Clint/Hawkeye POV)

"I would love to have wings," I announced to Natasha again for the fifth time, I felt like she wasn't paying attention the other four times.

"Okay Clint, for the last time I know you would like to have them!" she blurted out, I realized that she had got my message earlier.

"Besides, the way they got their wings could have been a bad or an illegal way."

"It still would be cool just flying around."

"You already can fly."

"No I can't."

"How about flying a plane."

"Besides that, I could just fly around, shooting my bow..." I daydreamed.

"Your name might mean more sense if you could fly, Hawkeye," she replied, softly punching my arm. I laughed and softly punch her in return. Once we calmed down Natasha asked, "But seriously, how did they get wings,"

"I bet, we'll find out," I replied.

"Does Nick know?"

"..."

Natasha and I walked to the lounge and saw the other Avengers chilling. We greeted each other and sat down to talk. No one said anything.

"I think we all know about them," Tony started.

"Who do you mean, there are lots of people we've met?" Bruce asked.

"You know who I'm talking about, the winged people that need the institute," he replied.

"Oh," Bruce said.

"How many people know about them is my question," Steve said.

"Well, if that is your question, then mine is, how did they get their wings?" Natasha asked. Soon we were all asking questions about the mysterious group.

"What are you guys talking about," A voice asked. It was Nick Fury. We looked to each other, deciding who would tell him.

"A group of visitors that came to us, looking for..." started Tony

"Institute for Higher Living," Steve continued, "Their names were, Max, Nick, Jeff, Krystal with a K, Captain Terror and Ariel."

"How did you know?" Tony asked.

"I asked," he replied, "They came to me, looking for it but I don't know the city, so I led them to you Tony."

"You should look at the video of them when they left," I told him alerting Stark to get a computer.

"Here you go Pirate," Tony with a smirk. I heard Fury sigh and focused on the screen.

After Nick watched the video, he looked from the screen at us.

"These 'people', could be a threat to us if they get in the wrong hands," he replied.

"But what if they get in the right hands? Let's just say, us?" Natasha asked, looking for someone to get what she was trying to say, "we could help them?"

(Nudge POV)

This place is amazing! I thought while absorbing everything in sight, I love toy shops. There were life-sized stuffed animals that led the way to all the stuffed animals, big and small. There was a large room full of Lego and Bionicle on the other side.

Angel, do you want to go to the stuffed toys section? I thought, looking to Angel. She nodded as Gazzy said, "Iggy, there is a huge room full of Lego and Bionicle."

"Go join them," Max said to Fang, "I'll stay with the girls." I walked to the stuffed animal room and was blown away by the amount of cuteness there was. I heard Angel gasp from it while Max walked past, still keeping an eye on us.

"Oh Max, isn't this tiger the cutest, oh my gosh, him name is Samson." I gasped, picking up the small toy. Max nodded, agreeing to me by finding him cute.

"Max?" Angel asked, pulling on her sleeve. She showed her a small bear that was dress as an angel. It had a small white dress and fluffy wings on its back. A mini gold wire halo was hovering above its head. Max looked at the price tag.

"I'm sorry Angel but it's $49 and we are running very low on cash, I know it's an angel just like you and it's adorable," she replied trying to convince her.

"But I want her," Angel declared, which was something that Angel wouldn't do.

"I said no, that's it," Max said and wandered off to look at the 'mystical' section. I looked away from the argument and explored the rest of the toys.

"Oh my gosh, this koala is called Cory and this rabbit is called Gwen and this Beagle is called Brandi and this lamb is called Will," I gasped, picking them all up and hugging them. I didn't notice that Angel had disappeared.

"Fang!" Max cried to him and strode over to meet him. Gazzy, Iggy and I joined the two under a huge clock.

"Let's get out of this place, A Ouija board just asked me to save the world."

"Wow, you're like, famous," Gazzy replied, not seeing the obvious stress that Max had.

"Where is Angel?" Fang asked. Max turned to grab...air, in an attempt to find her. Soon we were looking all over the shop to find her. I saw Max skid to a stop by a life-sized chimpanzee and looked at someone. I followed Max's gaze and saw Angel talking to an older woman. Noticing Max calm down made me think that she was safe.

"What is she..." Fang started. The woman was hesitant for a moment but said something which made Angel excited.

"Someone is buying something for Angel," Iggy replied almost silently. I always wonder how he does it. Angel ignored us but knew we were watch her so she continued to get the toy. We waited for her, watching her every move until she was done. We left the store to ask about what she did.

"What was that all about?" Max asked, "Why did the woman buy the $49 bear?"

"Because I asked, with my mind," Angel replied like it was casual.
