Bea. (an Avengers fanfic)

the roof

3rd P.O.V

Everyone is in the kitchen. They all look dead and tired. Last night was quite a shock. BeA collapsing and then the city shaking so violently. It had all of them so very worried.

"Are Thor and Loki already gone back to Asgard?" Steve asks as he enters the room.

"Yeah, they left late last light." Replies tony.

"Hey, are you ok?" Bucky asks Steve.

"Yeah I'm fine. I just can't stop thinking about Bea." Steve says, running his hands through his blonde messy hair.

"What do you mean?" Wanda asks. In her thick accent.

Steve looks up and yawns. "Well, she has always been so happy around us, but when someone mention her being normal, she acts out." Bucky nods in agreement. "I mean last night with her having a panic attack."

"straight after knocking Petro to the ground." Tony says. "which I have to say was hilarious." Petro just shows them his middle finger while leaving the room. They all laugh.

"she just seems off. You know?" Steve says, bring the conversation back. "like in the normal way off"

"you think she is depressed or has anxiety issues. That would explain the panic attacks."

"I guess that would make sense" Bucky says.

"she has been through a lot." Steve, Bucky, Wanda, Vision and Tony spin around. Clint enters the room.

"What do you mean?" Bucky asks.

"she doesn't want a lot of people to know." He says.

"come on." Tony says, "spit it out."

"she lost her mother to the house fire. She has a scar to remind her every day from it. she moves into her dad's house who she had no idea existed. She lost her father to cancer. Her only family is Nick, Koda and I. She has been suicidal and that's why I think Fury moved her in. So, I guess that gives her a right to have a panic attack every once in a while." With that Clint didn't say a word and went to get coffee. Everyone is silent.

"you say that she was exactly four what do you mean by that?" asks Vision.

"it was her birthday."

"Oh shit." Tony Breaths. Clint then leaves without another word, there was some silence before Tony breaks it. "hey where is Bea." Tony asks. "Jarvis?"

"she is on the roof. Her breathing is slow. Not normal. She seems to be under some stress. She is alone. Sir." Jarvis answers. With that Bucky and Steve jump up knocking their seats back. They run up to the roof. On their way up the catch Nat.

"hey where are you to fellas going." she asks.

"the Roof" Nat notices the fear in Steve and Bucky's eyes and without a second runs with them. once they get to the roof, they see Bea painting.

"Bea." no answer. "Bea are you ok?" Bucky asks walking over to her. He grabs her arm. For a minute nothing happens, and the Bea's body jolts awake. frightening all three of them. she looks up bewildered. Pain in her eyes. She takes a step back and falls back. Quickly they all lunge forward. Steve and Bucky grab onto her and pull her back onto the roof. They fall back onto the roof. They lie there for a while. Huffing and puffing.

"Bea. are you ok?" Nat asks.

"yeah sorry you just scared me. I zoned out sorry." She says all at once.

"what are you doing up here." asks Steve. Exasperation in his voice.

"I'm just painting. What are you up here?" she asks confused.

"we were worried about you."

"Why?

"Well." Nat tries to speak but her mind is blank.

"Uhh" Bucky and Steve says.

"You thought I was going to jump."

"Well... no we just wanted to make you safe." Bucky says again.

"look guys I'm fine. I just came here to paint. I have done this every morning since I have been here."

"really but how did Jarvis not detect you."

"Oh, simple I disabled this part of the roof."

"What?"

"I simply put a code into him saying that I could be up on the roof and only when tony asks Jarvis would then tell him where I was." She says. They look stunned. "it's really quite simple" Bea begins to collect her stuff. She starts to leave. Leaving everyone on the roof.

"hey Bea."

"Yes Steve."

"do you need some help?" he says looking at all the paints around the roof.

"uh that be nice. Thanks." She says as Steve helps clean up with her. Once they are finished, they all go downstairs. Dropping her stuff at her room
