Narrator's p.o.v

they sat watching the students running, track. Steve half wanting to jump in, run with them the other half wanting to point out what they're doing wrong. but he decides both would be a bad idea so they sit there, waiting. having no say in who is the champion, just there for fame so the next time the city is invaded by aliens, they won't be so mad when they're house is destroyed in the process. He sighs, Natasha jabbing him in the ribs silently telling him to at least act like this isn't boring, or driving him up the wall. normally, he's patient but he got into an argument with Tony, who's sitting on the other side of Natasha, annoyed with Steve but isn't going to make a scene, just brute. and get jabbed in the ribs when he shows any impatience or dislike of being here, one of the students. finishing second, jogs up to the seats placed for the students, right in front of the Avengers, the student who finished first says to the girl who is in second. "hello, I'm Chase, I've seen you around, but never got the chance to introduce myself, what's your name?" she doesn't even show that she heard him just sighs, watching the other students, Chase looks slightly hurt but doesn't make another attempt to talk...

they finish the competition, and not even the Avenger know who the winner is, "-and the winner is... Katlyn Elisabeth Turnner please stand, Katlyn." no one moves as the seconds pass, Katlyn who's standing by the door slips out, mentally cussing in Chinese, mixing a bit of Spanish and Latin in there as well just for good measure.

the next day, she wakes up to a banging on her bedroom door. she climbs out of her sheet, stumbling she grabs her knife hiding it behind the door, as she opens it to find Tony Stark saying. "wow, your place really needs a new make over." glaring at him, he goes to lean into my room, she slam the door in his face, he shouts in surprise, and pain, she smirks to herself feeling like she won the lottery. she fist pumps, but quickly wipe the shit eating grin off her face. Realizing the reason he is here, she face palms, thinking to herself 'I'm such a stupid, stupid girl! You drew attention to yourself! Stupid, stupid girl!' Smacking herself upside the head, she gets dressed into black ripped jeans, a over-sized black hoodie that says 'fuck off, I'm Irish!' and her combat boots, opening her door again. she sees Natasha who just says "I spent years with him, wishing to break his nose, but don't, you are with him five seconds, and you break his nose, fuck you." Katlyn rolls her eyes pushing past her, walking to the bathroom. she bushes her teeth, attempt at her hair, but ends up breaking the hairbrush pouting. walk out of the bathroom, throwing the hairbrush into the trash, Natasha sees the broken hair brush and Katlyn pouting, Natasha snickers. but understands the curse of curly hair. "you obviously don't want to, but you need to pack, and if it's work school, or home, the expenses are covered, both at the tower and here. you'll still have everything to come back to." Katlyn doesn't show that she even heard Natasha, just walks past her into her room, but grabs the empty bag from the women's hand. Natasha assumes this is how she's always been, not just mute but doesn't communicate beyond actions.

the avengers plus Katlyn sit in the living room, all of them stealing glances at her. she on the other hand, is ignoring them and is sketching trying to make this less... weird, Tony sighs asking "ok, we know your mute, but do you like I don't know, communicate at all?" she doesn't answer or show she even cares enough to pay attention. Natasha suddenly sits ford saying to everyone, not noticing Katlyn flinch. "we're playing 'never have I ever', without the alcohol but using water, soda or juice." they all consider and agree all but Katlyn, who still refuses to accept they're presence. they all stare at her, but Natasha just comes back with Dr. Pepper for her. handing it to Katlyn who grabs it, looking at Natasha as if to say 'well-get-on-with-it!' they all stare at Natasha who just says "lets go in a circle, never have I ever... done meth." Katlyn drinks, as does Tony, they aren't surprised by Tony. but they stare at Katlyn, she feels panic rise knowing she can't explain. she can't tell them it wasn't of her own free will, Tony says trying to keep the girl from doom. "ok, never have I ever... kissed the same gender." yet again, Katlyn as well as, Tony, Natasha, and Clint, they glance at Katlyn, but doesn't question her.
