Queen ~Avengers

Chapter 4

"I'll pick you both up on Friday, that'll give you two days to find someone to watch the Sanctum. I have to go now I'm running on borrowed time." I give Wong and Strange one last hug before leaving.

I walk into the compound and into my office, where I see Jim.

"What's up?" I ask.

"Well the ships we sent out on  rescue are back and they're currently I the medical wing recovering." Jim says. "Oh and here's your hot chocolate."

"Your a sweet heart." I sigh, taking the beverage. "Well I'll talk to you later, I have to make some calls
And can you find a place where the Asgardians can live?"

"Sure thing Queen" Jim says leaving the room.

I get my phone and dial the number I know by heart.

"Hill speaking."

"You know one day when you pick up the phone,without checking the caller ID, and it could be a demon who takes your soul through the phone." I say, knowing she didn't check the caller ID the greeting would be more informal and friendly.

"Eliza what are you doing calling my work phone." She hisses through the phone. Since I dont want S.H.I.E.L.D knowing who I am and what I do.

"I need a favor."

"What's wrong?" She asks worried, knowing I never ask for favors.

"You'll know soon enough, but I need you to get me a meeting with Fury ant my compound." Shes one of the very few people who know about my compound.

"When?" Hill asks.

"Friday, think you can do it?" I challenge.

"Please, do you know who you're talking to." She retorts and hangs up.
I smile and shake my head. That's my best friend.

I switch on my comm and ask Jim to report to my office.

"Yes boss?"

"I'm leaving you in charge of the compound for a bit, but if anything changes let me know." I say before walking out of my room going into my room to change out of my pants suit into a white hoodie and black jeans pairing it up with black heeled boots.

Next stop Avengers compound.

Still no word from vision?" One of the holograms. I hear as I walk into the room, closing the portal I used to get here. I go and stand in a shadowed corner making sure to keep quiet in my heels, and to make sure I'm not seen.

"Satellites lost him somewhere over Rentenburg." Rhodes says while shaking his head.

"Yea and a stolen Quinjet with 4 of the world's most wanted criminals." Ross says.

"You know their only criminals because you've chosen to call them that, right sir." Rhodes replies looking at him.

"God, Rodes your talent for horse shit rivals mine." Ross says.

"You know if it weren't for those accords Vision would be right here." Rhodes points out.

"I remember your signature on those paper." Ross says walking to stand in front of Rhodes.

"That right." Rhodes steps forward to the hologram. "And I'm pretty sure I paid for that." He continues, crossing his arms.

"You have second thoughts?"

"Not anymore." Rhodes says, shaking his head while looking in his eyes. I also hear 5 sets of footsteps approaching.

Natasha, Steve, Sam, Wanda and Vision walk into the rooms. Both men turn to them.

"Mr secretary." Steve greets like the gentleman he is. Ross walks up to him.

"You've got some nerve." He says looking from Steve to Natasha. "I'll give you that."

"You could use some of that right now." Natasha says smirking.

"The world's on fire." Ross says ignoring Natasha and looking at Steve. "And you think .... all is forgiven." He asks tilting his head.

"I'm not looking for forgiveness." Steve says. "And I'm way past asking permission." He says continues staring Ross down. "Earth just lost your best defender, so we're here to fight." Steve says then walks closer. I lean in waiting.

"And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too." Ross stares at him for a moment longer before turning back to Rhodes.

"Arrest them." He demands.

"All over it." Nods at Ross, then ends the call. I watch as all the holograms disappear.

"Its great to see you cap." Steve shakes Rhodes hand.

"You too Rhodey."

"Hey." He says hugging Natasha.

"Well, you guys really look like crap." Rhodes says joking, trying to ease the tension. "Must have been a rough couple years."

"Yea well the hotels weren't exactly 5 stars." Sam says.

"I think you look great." Bruce says making his presence known. Everyone turns to him, including me. How has no one noticed my presence yet?

"Uh.... heh, yea I'm back." He says walking closer to the group.

"Hi Bruce." Natasha says. Bruce nods at her and takes a deep breath, while fidgeting with his hands.

"Nat."

"This is awkward." Sam whispers, ruining the moment.
