"Audrey?" Tony's voice came from the upstairs lab.
"Yeah?" she saw him descending the stairs.
"Steve said you killed a store clerk, when you were away," he blurted. "Is that correct?"
"Yes," she admitted. Bucky's hand instinctively tightened on hers.
Tony set the tablet he was holding on the coffee table in front of her. She let go of Bucky's hand to hold the tablet.
A police report for murder.
"They want to meet with you."
"Who?" Steve asked as he entered the room.
"NYPD," Bucky answered and took the tablet. "This is insane. You're not going to let her go, are you? She's an Avenger for crying out loud."
"Not yet," Tony undermined.
"But she is one of us. I'll vouch for her," Steve said as he pulled a jacket on.
"No, you won't," Tony instructed and took the tablet back. "It was in cold blood. And if she's going to be an Avenger, she has to fess up for wrongs done. We'll bail you out as soon as we can, okay?"
She started to nod when Bucky interrupted:
"Cold blood? Why'd you shoot a kid in cold blood?"
"He was calling me the Villainess and he was going to call the cops, it was instinct," she paused. "I swear."
"Acting on instinct can get you killed," Vision stated. "Don't do it again."
"I won't. Scout's Honor," she put her fingers to her brow. "It was a one-time thing, I don't know what came over me..."
Tony's glance grazed over her before landing on Steve once more, "I'll drive her over. Come on."
She stood and pulled her coat on, following Tony outside.
