Apex Avenger | Natasha Romanoff

Ch 9

12:03 am

"Hey JARVIS." I whisper.

"Yes Apex?" He responds softly.

"Please don't rat me out and don't alert anyone that I'm leaving or when I come back." I plead still with a whisper.

"Okay Apex." He says.

'Well that was easy' I think to myself.

I quietly leave my room and go downstairs. I quietly open the front door and leave. I shapeshift into an owl flying towards the city. The roaring of engines and tires screeching getting near. I land on a lamp post. Sure enough my car is there a guy leaning on it trying to flirt with a girl. I fly into an alley and turn back. I walk towards my car angry, the guy's back facing me.

"Hey Javier." I say making my presence known.

"A-Apex! Hey amiga how are you?" He asks getting off my car.

"Cut the crap give me back my car!" I say stepping up.

"Woah calm down!" He says trying to be friendly.

"Hell nah! You can't beat me in a race so you steal my car! What's that about?!" I exclaim and by now a crowd is starting to form.

"You told me you won it." The girl he was flirting with says crossing her arms.

"Give me my car Javier." I grit.

"Alright alrigh-"

He punches me making me stumble back then tackles me punching me in the mouth multiple times. I knee him in the nuts making him fall down in pain. I stand up towering over him. He tries to get up but I get my gun out pointing it down at him.

"Las llaves." I order sticking out my hand after I wipe my mouth my eyes flash yellow.

(The keys)

He gives them to me without a second thought in pain. I take them getting in my car not caring about the crowd who saw the whole thing. I start my car and people get out of my way as I speed off making my way back upstate. My mouth and nose are bleeding but I just use Javier's track jacket he left in there to clean my face while driving. I get near the facility and when I'm in the drive way I turn it off pushing it in the garage. I sneakly get back inside and into my room. I go to my restroom and see dry blood around my mouth and nose. I wash my face and head to bed.

Morning

I do my morning routine getting ready and head downstairs. I see Tony in the living room.

"Wassup uncle T." I say passing by but he doesn't say anything making me stop.

"Is something wrong?" I ask him concerned walking back.

"JARVIS playback." Tony says not looking at me.

On the TV replays surveillance footage of me leaving, shapeshifting then me sneaking back pushing my car.

"What movie is that?" I ask squinting at the TV playing dumb.

"Really? You're going to play that card right now?" Tony asks.

"Uncle Tony-"

"Oh no don't uncle Tony me." He says getting up.

"Nothing happened." I try.

"Nothing happened?! Your face is bruised! Where in the hell did you go?!" He exclaims.

The other guys awkwardly listening in the kitchen this even though they were worried too. Natasha comes down wondering what the yelling is about. She sees Apex on the TV surveillance and becomes curious. She goes into the kitchen seeing the other guys.
