It had been around 10 minutes before Bruce finally came back. When he walked through the door though, he wasn't alone. There was five people following him, four of them I recognized.

"This is Natasha, as you know," he said, gesturing at her.

"Clint Barton." This was the guy with Natasha when I was shoplifting.

"We've met, somewhat." I said gaining an eyebrow rise from Bruce.

"Well, okay, Steve Rogers." He pointed at a blonde haired guy with blue eyes. Looking like he worked out a lot, he nodded at me and I gave him a curt nod back. This is the guy out of time right? Captain America?

"Finally this is T-"

"She knows who I am." Bruce was cut off by the guy I spilled coffee on the other day.

"Yeah, you're the guy I ran into."

"And..." he started, with a look telling to finish it off.

"And...? Uhhhh..."

"Come on! My tower used to have my name printed on it!"

"Oh, HOLY SHIT, you're Tony Stark!"

"There we go." He smirked.

"Oh god, I gave a billionaire a five dollar bill. I'm so stupid." I said holding my hands up to my face.

"Excuse me," Nick Fury interrupted, "but the point of us all being here is to see what she plans to do with the rocks."

"You brought them?" I asked, Bruce opened the cell door and poured two handfuls of rocks into my cupped hands. "Are you able to undo my handcuffs?"

"I got it." Steve said, he walked up to me, followed by the rest coming in and Fury closing the door behind him.

"Thank you," I said rubbing my wrists once they were off, "Bruce do you mind positioning my bones?"

"Sure, you don't want any pain killers?"

"No I'm fine."

He walked up to me a grabbed my hand and forearm. I gave him a tense nod and gasped as he pulled it out and then joined the bones.

"Fuck." I breathed out.

I sat down cross legged and placed the rocks on the floor. I relaxed my shaking arm into a comfortable position and then lifted some rocks up with my mind. I felt their particles and shuffled them around, making the stones look like liquid. I wrapped them around my broken wrist and set them around it. Adding more and more until I had fully mimicked a normal cast.

"Woah, that was awesome." Clint said.

"Agreed, what an enigma." Bruce commented while checking out my rock cast.

"Now her back. You said there was an abnormality there." Fury said.

"What. No." No way I'm letting them see that. The lashes won't be gone. Unless they let me keep the cover on.

"Yes." Fury said, staring me in the eye.

"Fine, quickly." I turned around and lifted the back of my shirt up.

"Amazing," I heard Steve say, "it looks like it's actually woven in her skin."

"That's because it is," I said, "helps it heal faster."

"Can you remove it?" Natasha asked, now peering closely at my back as well.

"If I want to." I replied.
