The New Recruit

Chapter 2

Summary: Some of the avengers think you're dangerous and want to keep you in the tower. After a few days, Tony convinces them to let you go. You finally find a job and an apartment, but someone is apparently stalking you and the person you least expected turns out to be your neighbor.

"How long till she wakes up?" you woke up to a a familiar voice.

"I can't say for sure. It depends on her. Usually in a couple of hours. But everyone's different, it could take days" you heard another voice. You opened you eyes and everything was blurry.

"Ms. Y/l/n you're awake. How are you feeling?" you recognized the voice, it was Tony Stark's voice.

Your vision started to slowly come back to you "Uh, a bit dizzy" you looked around you "Where am I?" you placed your hand on your head.

"You're in the Stark– Avengers tower" he corrected.

"I have to go" you sat up and wanted to remove the peripheral cannula.

"hey hey hey stop! You lost a lot of blood and you still need medical care. I can't let you leave" Tony stopped you from removing it.

"So you're just gonna lock me up?" you asked.

"if that's what it takes to make you stay" he answered.

"Great! So how long are you gonna keep me here?".

"That's it? You're not gonna use your powers on me?" he seemed shocked and a bit offended.

You gave him a little smile "First of all, they don't work like that. Second of all, I'm not stupid; I can't beat you when I'm on some kind of drug and as you said I lost a lot of blood, so any sudden movements or much energy will cause me to lose consciousness again. Then, you'd have a reason to actually cuff me and lock me up for real" you explained.

"Wise choice. I didn't expect that. I mean well done, you just woke up and already calculated the possibilities. Bravo!" he clapped.

"Thanks! But you still haven't answered my question".

"Ah yes that right. Until you recover" he lied.

"Just so you know I can tell when someone is lying, and you sir are lying to me right now".

"Is that one of your powers too?" he asked in a serious tone.

"No. It's one of my reading people powers" you answered.

"So not only are you young, beautiful, smart and have powers but you're also a doctor and can read people. What can't you do" he complimented you.

"Many things Mr. Stark. Many things" you remembered all the things you wish you could do and gave him a sad, disappointed look.

"we can't keep her here forever. Someone is eventually gonna notice she's gone and start looking for her. I bet the media would love to have a story about us keeping someone 'against their will'" Clint stated.

"She's safer here than with the government or S.H.I.E.L.D" Tony tried to convince everyone of his decision.

"We can't let her go before we know what she's capable of. What if she;s dangerous? What if she hurts someone?" Steve added.

"She saved my life on the field, not that I need help or anything and isn't she a doctor? Last time I checked, doctors meant good people and it's their job to save lives, did anything change?" Thor asked.

"No Thor. Nothing's changed, doctors are still good, don't worry. But I agree with Rogers and Stark. We can't just let her go" Nat agreed.

You scoffed "Not to be rude or anything but who the hell are you guys to make choices about my life? And don't say you're the avengers or saviors of the world etc."
