Tony kept questioning you and you felt your head ready to explode as you closed your eyes and carefully rubbed your forehead. The buzzing in your brain got louder and louder, reaching a lever where every sound surrounding you was muffled by it.

Even the crack on the ground went unnoticed by you, it slowly widened and Steve was probably the first one to see it and was about to point it out to the rest of the group when he finally saw your face, he immediately knew you were doing it.

You felt a hand softly squeezing your shoulder, snapping you out of the daze and making you eyes flutter open. Steve gave you a warily look.

"Are you alright?" He questioned.

You nodded, glad he stopped before your mind wandered too far away.

"Ignore Tony. He'll stop eventually." Steve promised in a reassuring tone. You smiled fondly at him.

"I can hear, you know?" Tony said, lifting an eyebrow with an annoyed look. You looked down bashfully

"I don't like speaking about... This." You murmured shyly.

"Leave the girl alone, Tony." Bruce spoke warily, before the man could say anything that might traumatize you. Tony huffed, but didn't insist.

"Would you mind if (y/n) watch you training, Cap?" Clint questioned.

"Not at all." Steve replied.

"Great." Clint nodded, glancing at his watch before moving forward and holding your upper arms so you would face him. "Listen, I really must go. Will you be ok?"

Your eyes widened and your hands began to tremble slightly, panic feeling your veins. The crack on the floor moved much quicker than before, this time catching the men's attention. Clint ignored it and tightened his grip on you.

"Hey, hey. Look at me." He pleaded and you obliged. "Calm down."

Your ragged breath went back to normal.

"That's more like it. Do you trust me?"

His question made your jaw clench and your gaze harden. It was answer enough for Clint. He sighed.

"Then what would be the difference between staying with them or with me?"

You thought about it and your lips parted ready to answer.

"I'm afraid I might lose myself." you whispered. "You calmed me before. And you're doing it again. Are they able to do the same?"

"Actually, we had an expert on the subject right here, sweet cheeks." Tony stated with a sly smirk and you couldn't help to glance doubtfully at him.

"You?"

Bruce sighed and pushed his glasses back. "No, he is probably talking about me."

"That's more plausible." You admitted.

"Besides, Capsicle here can also deal with it." Tony pointed towards Steve.

"See? You're in good hands." Clint grinned.

"I'm the one who cause havoc, so... Not exactly." Tony pointed out. You giggled and he seemed genuinely surprised for causing your laughter.

"He's a point." Steve joined in. "But I'll make sure he doesn't get to you."

"Thanks."

"Perfect. I'll see you later." Clint was rapid to bid his farewell and leave the room.

You turned back to the remaining men and quickly averted your gaze as they all stared at you, instead choosing to look at the crack you had opened.

"I'm sorry." You murmured bashfully. "I-I'm... Unstable."

Tony laughed and draped an arm around your shoulders making you flinch. "You've seen nothing. Quoting my science bro over there: 'We're a chemical mixture that makes chaos. We're a time-bomb.'"

You furrowed your brows and tried to free yourself from him. "Add me on the mix and you'll certainly blow everything up." You said.

You crouched down next to crack and swiftly ran your fingers down it. As you did it, the crack closed, leaving only a tiny line on the ground. You stood up and sighed.

"That's incredible!" Steve sounded truly amazed. You shook your head to the sides, laughing bitterly.

"Not so much, I wish I could revert everything I do. Even when I try to fix a small crack like this, there will always be a reminder."

They frowned, shocked at all the guilt and sadness such a young girl could nurture. They imagined what could be so terrible that made you that bitter.

"You're not a telekinetic, are you?" Tony asked curiously. You glared at him.

"What makes you think I'll answer you questions? I have not done it before, I won't do now." You snapped. He smirked, amused with your reaction.

" Too bad." Tony shrugged and clapped his hands together. "Let's lift the mood. C'mon, Spangles."

Steve rolled his eyes. "I requested some agents to spare with me, I can't do much against dummies, Stark."

"I'm seriously not waiting. I'll go home." He turned his back and walked to the exit.

The doors slid open before he could reach them and a red haired woman walked in, briefly glancing at Tony as the only sign that she acknowledged the man's presence as she passed him.

"You called?" The woman inquired Steve.

"Did they send you to train with me?"

She nodded.

You narrowed your eyes, examining her face and realized you knew her. You shifted uncomfortably on your feet, hoping she wouldn't notice you. Of course luck wasn't by your side.

"Natasha, this is (y/n). (y/n), that's our friend, Natasha." Steve signed to you then back at her.

"You." Natasha stated coldly, one of her perfect eyebrows shooting up. You looked down and red crept onto your face.

"I'm sorry for... earlier." You mumbled. "I-I was scared."

She could sense the truth behind your apology, but refused to accept, still a bit suspicious of you. "Why are you free?" Natasha chose to question instead. You grimaced and looked up to meet her eyes.

"Honestly? I have no idea." You admitted. Your answer brought a small smile to her face. "For some reason, Clint thought I was worth saving."

You saw her eyes softening slightly, but doubted anyone else noticed it too as she looked at you.  "I see." Natasha said as she composed herself. "I'm glad I've got to meet you properly." She paused, unsure of her next words. Natasha decided to keep talking anyway. "I hope you reach his expectations."

"So do I." You replied shyly. She seemed satisfied with your answer, grinning once before turning back to Steve.

"Ready?"

"Come, (y/n). We should stay back." Bruce motioned toward the end of the room and you followed.
This story is taking a lot more time than I initially thought it would. I love writing it, but I just have so much to do! I want to start taking requests, but first I'd like to finish this and my other current series. Besides, I have to study and read and fucking do a lot of things I, apparently, just can't finish! And  now I'm here, just taking out my frustration on you, who just want to peacefully read another chapter. Sorry, but I'm better now with it off my chest. ^^

Hope you like it. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Only the plot belongs to me. Everything else ® Marvel.
