Zoë's POV (again XD)

After a few hours of getting everything arranged, we were back in the van, this time though, we had Meghan. We didn't really talk at first, just had awkward eye contact from time to time. I was really tempted to figure out what she was thinking, but after a glare from Steve I decided not to. Clint had moved up to the front seat and was now playing with the radio. He never stayed with one station, so it sounded like:

"Grabbed your hand ask you to dance, in the middle of the street-"

He'd change the channel.

"I still get jealous!"
Clint would change it again.

"And I was like, baby baby baby-" (ew JB)

Natasha screamed, "make it stop!"

"That's what makes you beau-"

Natasha glared at the back of his head.

"I've got the rice cookin' in the microwave-"

Steve then slapped his hand and turned off the radio. "I am in deep need of silence." Clint slumped in his seat and stared out the window.

Meghan say in her seat, playing some game on her phone. "What game is that?" I asked. She showed me her screen and I saw that it was one of those games that you drive the little car up the little hill and eventually you accidentally kill the driver. I nodded and clapped my hands.

"So... You can pull water out from the ground and shoot it from your hands?" She looked up at me from her game and tilted her head to the side a little.

"Yeah, I pull it from the ground and the air. How'd you know that I could do that anyway?" She asked.

Laughing I answered, "I did watch you in action, and S.H.I.E.L.D has these weird stalker profiles of everyone so we know everything about you."

She squinted her eyes and mumbled, "that's weird," before looking up at the front seat. "So long have you been with them?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "Like, 3 days. They picked me up in Michigan and took me to headquarters. No biggie." I looked up at her and noticed her eyes. They were big and framed by thick eyelashes. I couldn't decide if they were blue or green.

She looked at me from head to toe. "So what can you do?" She asked.

"I'll show you." I chuckled. "Hey Clint?"

He turned around. "Yeah?"

"Can you tell me the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?"

He laughed. "Nice try kid, but your superpowers," he stuck out one finger and pointed at his head. "They won't work on my amazing brain."

Meghan looked at me with a confused look. I mouthed, watch this and looked back at Clint. "Clint, tell me the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you." We watched as his eyes glazed over, and he started to mumble.

"When I was in my teens, I had a really bad mullet and I dyed it purple because of a dare." Steve looked at Clint, then at the 'dying of laughter' Natasha and Meghan, then at me.

"Zoë! Cut that out! We're going to be at the tower in less than five minutes."

Clint closed his eyes and shook his head real quick before saying, "What were we talking about?" Meghan snorted and we both laughed until we pulled up to the tower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We all got out of the van and stretched out our legs. I yawned, and Meghan soon did the same. She grabbed her bags and I took one from her to lighten the load. We were walking out to the front of the tower, when Meghan said, "this is like a hotel." I nodded, when I noticed that something was different from the last time I was here. Steve noticed it too.
