The New Recruit

Isabelle's POV

"Why are we here?" She asked Tony. The jet had touched down in Queens. "We're here to find a recruit. Someone to help us get Barnes." Tony stated. Isabelle nodded and looked around. Tony had told her to come in regular street clothes instead of her suit which surprised her. So she dug through Piper's stuff that she left behind and put on a pair of blue ripped jeans, white Vans and a white T-Shirt tied on the side. For once, she was actually comfortable. They reached an apartment building, knocked, and waited for someone to open it. To Isabelle's surprise, a middle aged woman with brown hair that was graying at the roots and glasses answered the door.

"Hi. How can I help you?" The woman asked. Tony smiled and answered her question. "Your son, Peter. He signed up for the Stark Internship and, he was accepted. So, I came to congratulate him and pick him up." The woman smiled and squealed. "PETER! YOU HAVE A GUEST!" A boy with brown hair and brown eyes came running into the room. "Mr. Stark. I, um..." "Applied for an internship at Stark Tower. My associate and I came to pick you up to celebrate the occasion." Isabelle stepped out from behind Tony and smiled. "Hi. I'm Isabelle. Nice to meet you." She stuck out her hand to shake his and he took it nervously. But she couldn't tell where the source of nervousness was coming from.

"Can we?" Tony gestured to the apartment. The woman smiled and stepped aside so they could come in. "I just need to address a few things with Peter if you don't mind." Stark stated. Peter led them to his room. When they got there, Peter closed the door and looked at Stark and Isabelle.

"Look, Mr. Stark, I didn't apply for an internship..." Tony held up his hand and smiled. "I know. But there's something about you..." Peter fled back to his bed. "I, I don't know what you're talking about." Tony nodded and walked around the room. "Ah hah, and what's this?" Tony poked the ceiling with a broom and a door opened. A rope fell down with a suit tied to the end. Peter jumped up and grabbed the suite from the rope. "That's uh, it's um..." "Yeah, I can see. So, you can either come with me or we can tell your aunt..." He placed his hand on the door but Peter shot him with something. "Don't, do that." Isabelle laughed and looked at Tony's hand. "Okay, now that, is cool." Peter blushed and smiled. Tony rolled his eyes and gestured to the webbing. "Oh, right. I'll come. Just, don't tell Aunt May." Tony nodded and Peter released him from the web.

Xoe's POV

She was going to go insane. They had taken everyone to a government base in Germany. Bucky was taken and locked in a chamber away from the others. She didn't like him being treated as a criminal, a terrorist. He hadn't committed any of these crimes that he was charged with. But that wasn't the reason why she was going to go insane. The reason was because she didn't know where Sasha was. "How long are we going to be here?" Xoe asked, interrupting a conversation between Steve and Sam. Sam laughed. "Until Stark let's us go. Why? In a hurry to get somewhere?" Xoe rolled her eyes and looked down at her hands. They weren't cuffed and were sitting in a room with a coffee table and a TV. "Why aren't we in jail?" She asked to no one in particular. "Because you're Avengers." Xoe turned to see Natasha Romanoff looking at her with cold eyes that could kill. "Well, at least they are.. You're a terrorist. "Xoe returned her glare. "I didn't blow up that bank."

"And Barnes didn't kill a king at the Accord signing." "Because he didn't." Steve cut in. "No offense, but you really don't have the authority to be saying things like that, Steve. You're in a bad position right now and it would be best to stop talking." Tony Stark stated when he walked in. Steve frowned. Isabelle appeared behind them. "Where's Leo?" She asked. Sam and Steve sighed. "He was arrested with the rest of us but because of his age, he got out of it. He's probably back at the tower." He was lying. Xoe knew it. He was probably gathering information to get Bucky out. She felt bad because she couldn't help the man that she loved but someone else could. It made her feel funny inside, helpless, useless. And she wouldn't stand for it.
