"I feel honoured for the offer, Mr. Stark..." "Tony," he interrupts. "Tony, but I can't just up and leave my old life. I love my little house, my job is amazing and I know the area mostly when I turn blind."
"What about you meet the team? Get a feel for the tower? Join a mission just to know the feel of it."

"It's dangerous. What if I turn blind while on mission because someone got heavily hurt?"

"You'll be fine. We'll find something for that. You didn't say no to the other things. I assume you wouldn't mind meeting them, walking the tower?"

You sigh, "sure, why not. Doesn't hurt to try."

"Amazing. I'll let JARVIS know. You'll join us for supper tonight." You blink a few times, even though it doesn't change anything about your sight.
"I'm not dressed for meeting them."

"We'll stop by your house. Be prepared, Hope is running our way."
You thank him for the heads-up.
Feeling how Hope keeps walking next to you, you take her handle. Immediately she starts wagging her tail.
Smiling you put the leash back on and hanging it loosely on the handle.

"Could you tell me what time it is?"
"It's 4.27pm at the moment."
You nod.

"Would you be so kind as to escort me back home? I have no clue where in the park I am at the moment."
"Of course."

You tell him your address and you walk to your house. It takes a while and Tony and you small talk a bit. It's weird talking with a billionaire genius, but he seems like a nice guy.

After a while you stop. "Do you have your keys?" he asks. You nod and pull them out of your little handbag. You hold them up for Tony to take. "It's one of the keys with blue on them." You hear him jiggle the keys and hear him trying to fit some in the lock until he finds the right one.

Click and the door opens. You enter and hope that Tony does too. The door closes and you hear footsteps following you. "The kitchen is over there. I have coffee and tea. Feel free to make you some. I'm going to change clothing."

"Of course. Ask if you need help with anything and I mean anything." You hear the smirk in his voice, rolling your eyes at his remark.

"Thanks." You put as much sarcasm in that single word as you can.

You walk to your room, closing the door behind you, still holding Hope on her harness.
"I'm sorry girl." You quickly say to her as you take of the harness and leash. She licks your hand before scratching the door. You open it so she can leave before closing it again.

Opening the closet, you feel around the hangers until you find your dresses. They should be ordered by colour but you can't remember how, so you carefully touch the dresses in hope to recognise some by feel. It's a failure.

"Tony, help me out with finding my dress please. I know which one but I can't find it." You call. A knock on the door before it opens.
"Which one do you search?"

"The aquamarine one with little gold beadings on the skirt. There should only be one aquamarine one."

"Here." You feel a fabric in your hand, not sure if he gave you the right one, but you trust him.

"Thank you, now please leave so I can change." You walk to the door and hold it open, this way you are sure he actually left.

After the door is closed again you change into the dress and open the door again. "Would you also be so kind to give me my flat black shoes?" You feel him walk past you. "Which one?"

"You choose. They need to be black and flat, aside from that you choose." You hear him hum, deep in thought.

"Please sit down, Y/N, I'll put them on you."
You roll your eyes but listen either way.

He puts on your shoes on your feet very carefully.

"Thank you. I am ready."
"Great. Now, Hope, are you ready to join us."

Smiling fondly you hand Tony her leash. "You hold her. It feels more like a walk for her that way. You lead me."

You don't hear an answer but you assume he nodded.

The walk is long, but comfortable. Tony is talking about his inventions and about how he made a prototype of something that could help the team out in the future, but it's not done yet.
You listen interested all the way to the Tower.

"Welcome back Mr. Stark.
Welcome to you too Ms L/N"

You jump, startle. You know no one is here. "Thank you JARVIS. Could you call the elevator."

JARVIS, oh gosh, that was the AI that Tony made.

"I should have warned you. Sorry about that."
"Don't worry about it." You walk to what you assume is the elevator.

"To the living area, please." The elevator ascends to the floor.
A ping signals the stop of the elevator. Tony leads you out.
"Am I allowed to unclip her leash?" You nod and immediately you hear her run around.

"Oh, I know you." You hear a low voice say. Bucky. You know Hope has her puppy eyes on, asking for as many pets as she can get.
"Since when do we have this cutie?" a female voice says, a Russian accents interlaces in her words.

"She's not ours. We have a guest Wanda, and she brought Hope with her." You feel Tony stop. You hear people's footsteps in the same room, meaning they are close.

"Hi, I'm Y/N."
"You're the girl that saved Buck. Welcome, welcome!" Someone comes in for a hug. Uncomfortable you hug the person, a guy, back. Not sure who it is.
"Clint, you airhead. You forgot the important thing Bucky mentioned. She's blind at the moment." A woman's voice.

"Oh, yeah. Shit. Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. You can call me Clint."
"It's okay, nice to meet you."

And that is how everyone present start to introduce themselves.
