It's not what it seems

It had been three days since we hacked Hydra when Tony came to look for us during our training. "Hydra's going to attack," he told us. "Where?" Steve asked. "Brussels." "Why Brussels?" "The European Parliament, that's why." "That's bad." "Sure is. We should go." "We should yes." "Do we have the numbers?" I asked. "We have the three of us, Bucky, Thor and Wanda. We have Sam and Rhodey. We have Vision... somewhere..." "We could ask Scott for help." Steve said. "Scott?" "The "Little guy" Ant-Man he calls himself." "Oh, you mean that guy who shrinks." "Yes, that one." "I don't think he wants to help," Tony said, "The way he talked to me when he was in that cell makes me think he hates me." "Great," I said sarcastically. "We could ask T'Challa." "He's too busy restoring Wakanda." "That's true..." "We do really need more people." "If only Spider-Man was older, I would have asked him, but this is too dangerous for him," Tony said. "Maybe we can do it with the numbers we have now, Vision and Wanda are powerful, especially Wanda," I said. "That's true, but still... it's a risk. Also, it was you who asked about our numbers." "I know, and they don't entirely satisfy me, but everything we did was a risk Tony. New-York, Sokovia, this will be no different." He nodded, "That's true." "When will they attack?" Steve asked." "In two days." "Well, time to go then, don't you think?" "Sure is." Steve stod there for a while, looking a bit awkward. "We know you want to say it Steve, so just do it," I told him. He smiled at me, then he said, "Avengers assemble!"

The next day we set off towards Brussels, meaning, Tony took us there in his jet. Pretty luxurious, that yet of his, fun experience too. Of course there was a lot of loud music, and we all had some drinks, but not too much, except maybe for Tony, that guy could be drunk and he'd still be the smartest around. And that says a lot, because I'm quite smart as well. He'd still be an idiot though. So, anyway, the next morning we woke up in Tony's yet, suited up and flew a smaller jet to the European Parliament to wait for Hydra.

The waiting took long, so after a while we started to play some stupid games. Like somebody saying a word and the other person had to say the first word that came to mind... Yeah, still a bit childish. Then we played I see I see what you can't see. But Wanda cheated, so that didn't last for too long either. Tony amused himself by throwing little rocks in the air and blasting them apart. Sam was patrolling the building via Redwing, or that thing, as I like to call it. Seriously, why would you give a drone a name? Really, Sam's a bit weird sometimes, so are all the guys really, but the others never asked me to pet that drone. "Did the thing spot something yet?" "His name is Redwing." "It's still a thing." "You're hurting his feelings." "Sam, drones don't have feelings." "That's what you say," he replied jokingly. I sighed, "Fine, did Redwing spot anything yet?" "Nope, except for Jane Foster and her intern." "What? Did you just say your robot companion has spotted Jane?" Thor asked. "Yeah, it did." "But, this is dangerous terrain." "It is." "I got to tell her." "Yeah, you should." And so he did, and to keep her safe he took her up on the roof. Same goes for the intern. "This is not the safest place for them Thor," I told him. "You give me a better option." "Away from here!" "We never know when Hydra might attack, I should stay here on all costs." I sighed, I knew there was no arguing with Thor, he's stubborn.

So, we still waited, but now with some more "companions" as Thor put it. Jane was pretty much flirting with Thor and her intern looked a little torn between standing there and looking slightly awkward or trying to start a conversation. Eventually she chose the latter and started to talk with Wanda. I decided to walk over to the two of them, in need for some women around me. I found out the interns name was Darcy and that she studied political science. She was kinda funny, and a little bit weird, but over all she had a nice personality. I also learned she was the one that hacked S.H.I.E.L.D. during all the stuff that happened in New-York. "You got us in some trouble with that," I told her. "Oh, us, sorry for that, didn't mean to get any of you in trouble, I was just curious about what was going on." "I understand that, and so you just casually hacked S.H.I.E.L.D.?" "Well, not casually, but, yeah, that's pretty much what happened." "I'm impressed, don't know many people who could do that." "Oh well, you learn some things." "Well, I could ask you not to do it again, but of course, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s disbanded now. I could ask you not to hack the F.B.I. or the C.I.A. though." "Believe me, I'm not planning to, I mean it would be awesome, but no. I'd get in too much trouble for that." "And you didn't get into much trouble for hacking S.H.I.E.L.D.?" "Of course I did, kinda... They did give me their phone number though, but when I needed them they didn't call me back." "Those bastards." "Uhu."
