"Introductions! Introductions!" Mr Stark had a meeting to commemorate the newbies moving in, you and Peter Parker. The conference room was soon full of the most powerful beings on earth; The Avengers and Co. Stark had you and Peter beside him, "you go first, kid."

"Um, hi. I'm Peter Parker-S-Spiderman. I mean, yeah. I've met some of you before, hi again." Peter stepped behind you when he was finished.

"I'm Lead. As in, dog lead. Or leader, not that I am a leader, I just sometimes write down lead and people pronounce it as like 'lead pencil' but I'm just clearing the air now," you gulped down your ramblings. Peter smirked, liking how he wasn't actually the nervous one for once. "Let me just show you-" you nudged Peter out of your way and reached up to a hanging light, quickly a blue electric line grasped the wire but you didn't pull it down, only shocked it a bit to make it whiter.

"Okay, I don't need any more damage to this building, thank you," Tony lightly touched your shoulder, "these two are joining the team, be nice. And I'm out," Tony threw up a peace sign and escaped the room before anyone else could. Everyone dispersed, not waiting around for a hello or anything. When you and Peter exited, Pepper was there waiting for you.

"I'll show you to your room." the CEO often performed assistant duties from time to time.

"Room, singular?"

"Consider being an avenger like camp or college for the first few months. You sleep in the same room for a while but eventually as you mature, you guys get your own separate rooms. Welcome to boot camp, I'll let you get settled and see you at dinner." Pepper, aware of your effect on others, quickly closed the door.

The bedroom was large enough for two single beds to be separated a metre apart. There was also a desk at the end of both wooden framed bed as well as a small pine wardrobe. The ensuite was a nice size, two sinks with adequate space for toiletries and a bath/shower combo for your recovery.

"By the way, I'm-" you started, handing out your arm for a handshake.

"I know who you are," Peter interrupted "I've seen some videos online. Your power is awesome."

"It's kind of freaky as well, having wires coming out of my skin definitely wasn't part of my top three most wanted superpowers." You two began to unpack.

"Oh yeah, what would be?" Peter asked, his eyes trailed down to your butt as you bent over to retrieve some clothes out of your suitcase. Very nice.

"Uh, I suppose shapeshifting, super speed and telekinesis, that would be sick. What about you?" you tried focusing on refolding your clothes but you noticed Peter's shirt lift up a bit when he went to unzip his suitcase.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only thing I'd be using telekinesis for would be getting a soda from the fridge,"

"It's why they call us gifted," you joked. Peter smiled too, licking his lips slightly. He stepped forward, noticing how nervous he was getting.

"Forgive me for...staring. I'm really not trying to come on to you-"

"Don't worry about it-" you interrupted, "part of my powers is also...attraction? I can enamour people and have them 'on a leash'" you used quotation marks. "It sucks trying to make new friends that want to jump my bones so that's also why I'm here. Stark, Banner and Strange were interested to see if they could dull my pheromones or whatever so people aren't as affected. I can ask Pepper for another room if it affects you too much."

"Oh," Peter sighed, slightly grateful that he wasn't still awkward around women like he used to be, "I mean I should be okay. How strong can the pheromones be? Am I acting weird?"

"Considering you're not on the floor begging for a kiss. You're good."

"Knock, knock," Steve Rogers was at the door with Sam Wilson.

"I told you not to say that out loud," Sam muttered to his old fashioned friend, "just wanted to say hi, welcome you to the team. Have a little run down and probably a tour," Sam was first to blink and clear his throat. He suddenly felt very comfortable and energetic around you, "would you be interested?" he stepped in front of Steve, who was also feeling a little hot. The two huge men stepped into the tiny room, it was now feeling a little overcrowded.

"I'd be interested," Peter piped up.

"You've seen it, Spidey. How about you, gorgeous?" Sam's eyes were focused on you.

"I should probably stick to this minute by minute schedule Pepper has made for me, thanks though," you touched Sam's shoulder but retracted it immediately, forgetting that touching is worse than just being around you.

"Is that your perfume? It's...mesmerising," Steve stepped closer. You had to admit, being flirted with by Captain America was a dream come true but they couldn't control it.

"It's my ability. You guys might feel a little...dazed around me and want to follow me around like a puppy. Trust me, I can't really go out in public without a crowd following me. The science bros are working on a treatment, so until then I'll probably keep to myself." The realisation washed over their faces as they stepped back.

"So it's kind of like a hypnosis thing?" Sam kept his distance now, gripping onto the doorframe.

"No, it sounds more like a pheromone type thing. Like cartoons floating towards a pie," Steve tried correcting. His super soldier serum made him like Peter; poisons don't affect them as strongly.

"I'd tell you if I knew. Sam, you're sweating,"

"Yeah. I'm just gonna...cool off," Steve took his friend way after a small goodbye. You turned to Peter.

"They seem nice." He shrugged and nodded in response.
