In the aftermath of the battle in Sokovia.
Hundreds of lives were lost and one Avenger died.
Soldiers die everyday.
Fury told me that, when I told him I had murdered the guards guarding my room. It doesn't make the pain go away though.
For now, the Avengers were slowly rebuilding.
It was amazingly slow progress but we were getting there.
The Avenger's facility no longer remained in the Tower at New York City.
Tony moved us upstate, somewhere far and away from prying eyes.
One thing is for sure, the latest Avengers facility was much larger than our previous one.
After SHIELD helped the Sokovian civilians escape the battle, most of the agents moved over to Stark Industries with the intention to join forces and help each other.
I didn't come out of the battle unscathed.
My leg was still recovering and bruises still lined my skin.
Either way, they were healing at a much slower pace than usual.
Clint went back to his family after staying a few days in recovery. The rest of us were still here. After all, many of them had nowhere else to go.
Banner was nowhere to be seen. He'd gone missing after the battle and the Russian, although quiet, I can see she misses him deeply.
Someone knocked on my door and I look up to see Steve.
"Hey," I greeted him, rising to my feet after having zipped up my suit.
His blue eyes scanned my being in obvious worry before I tapped his nose, to get his attention.
"I'm fine," I huffed. "Come on, Thor's leaving."
He wrapped a hand around mine and the two of us exit the room towards an awaiting Tony and Thor who was waiting out in the hallway.
Thor smiles when he sees us and Tony's gaze narrowed at our holding hands.
"You ready to leave Thor?" I walk up to him as we began the long trek outside, along the winding corridor.
"It has been a while since I return home," He hummed, sounding wistful.
"You're just running away because of what's happened," Steve smirked. "The rules have changed."
I felt Tony saunter behind Steve and me before he'd forcefully break up the hold between us.
He positioned himself in a way where now he was between the super soldier and me, effectively cutting off our views of each other.
"We're dealing with something new," Tony adds innocently and I rolled my eyes at his protectiveness.
"Well, the Vision's Artificial Intelligence." Steve lets Tony have his way and I can see a slight smile form on his lips.
"We're calling him Vision now?" I pouted at the three males. "Funny, I was calling him Odd ball, in my head."
Tony ruffled my hair at the comment obviously liking the nickname while both Steve and Thor exchanged confused looks.
"He's a machine," Tony continued, looking at Steve.
"So it doesn't count." Steve bluntly adds, sounding triumphant.
Oh, they were at it again.
Apparently, the team has been giving Thor a hard time about his hammer.
