Kennedy POV
The warm yellow sunlight streams through my window, hitting my eyelids and waking me up, I open my eyes and sit up just enough to look at the clock, it reads 6:32 A.M. I plop back down in my bed and cover my head with a pillow.
"Stupid floor to ceiling window." I grumble into my pillow and try to get back to sleep for a little while. Just as I begin to drift back to sleep there is a knock on my door. I let out a loud sleepy groan, it's too early for this.
"Uuu, does that mean come in?" I hear Peter ask from outside the door. I finally sit up and start to get out of bed.
"Ugg, come in I guess." Peter opens the door and steps in just a bit, indicating he doesn't plan to stay long.
"Not a morning person I'm guessing?" He asks as I stare blankly back at him.
"How can you be so energetic this early? It's unnatural." I try to rub the sleep from my eyes.
"Every day has so much potential, I guess I don't want to waste a minute of it." He responds with a smile thats brighter then my future.
"That's very poetic of you, now what do you want?" That sounded ruder than I wanted it to, but Peter doesn't seem to notice.
"Oh yeah, Tony said to tell you that breakfast is at eight."
"Wait, Tony invited me to breakfast? What's that about?" I wonder with a yawn.
"I don't know, but if I we're you I wouldn't miss it. Mondays is when Vision makes his famous omelets for everyone in the tower."
"Vision is here right now?" I ask, getting a little more awake and excited.
"Yeah, Vision is usually here."
"Who else is here right now?"
"I guess you'll have to come to breakfast and see." With that Peter leaves the room, I look up at the clock and it's now 7:00. No way i'm going back to bed when I could be down stairs meeting more Avengers. I take a cold shower which helps to wake me up, then get dressed in my original green maxi skirt from the day this all started. After brushing through my matted hair and pulling it up into a ponytail, I turn my doorknob and find it unlocked. In the elevator there is a sticky note on the button for floor 81 that says, 'this one -Peter." I giggle and peal it off before pressing the button. When the door open I find myself face to face with Tony, who was apparently waiting for the elevator.
"Hey firecracker, Vision has some omelets cooking, you might want to hurry while they're still hot." he greets me as I step out.
"Okay, what's this about?" I question him before he leaves.
"What?"
"You being all nice to me and inviting me to breakfast, what do you need this time?" He shrugs as he gets in the elevator.
"Nothing, just call it a thank you for yesterday. Save me an omelet." He finishes, disappearing behind the closing doors. I walk over to the kitchen, internally screaming as I see that not only are Peter, Vision, Bruce Banner, and Pepper in the kitchen, but also Ant-Man, Falcon, War-Machine, and Scarlet Witch, all gathered around the bar watching Vision cook. Peter looks over his shoulder and sees me coming.
"Hey Kennedy, have a seat," He pats the stool next to him and I oblige, sitting between him and Scarlet Witch, I try my best not to look creepy as I stare at her in admiration. "Hey guys, how many of you have met Kennedy?" Peter asks getting everyone's attention. Bruce and Pepper raise their hands, "Well, to everyone else, this is Kennedy," Then he turns to me, Kennedy this is Scott, Sam, Rhodey, Wanda, and Vision." He points to each of them in turn.
"I know, I can't believe you have all been here this whole time and I didn't know." I say nervously, hoping my sentences come out coherently.
"Actually, Rhodey, Scott, and I don't live here." Sam say.
"But who could miss Vision's monday omelets?" Scott speaks up, mouth full of omelet.
"So you all come over here on Monday mornings just for omelets?" The three of them nod in confirmation, and Vision sets down a plate with a fluffy yellow omelet in front of me.
"It's a pleasure to meet you miss Kennedy, I hope you enjoy your omelet."
"Thanks Vision." I smile at him as he turns back to the stove, Peter hands me a fork and I notice that everyone is watching me, waiting for me to take the first bite, even Tony has returned to the room and is silently watching me, apparently omelets are a big deal around here. My stomach is in such a flutter from all my role models watching me, I don't feel like eating but with the Avengers all watching and waiting I feel like I have to. I cut off a piece of egg and put it in my mouth, the taste of onion and mushrooms instantly fills my mouth.
"Mmmmm, this is the best omelet i've ever tasted, and probably the best food in general that i've ever tasted, considering my diet prior to coming here."
"Why thank you, I'm flattered." Vision says with a grin.
"What were you doing before you came here Kennedy?" Wanda asks, a hint of a Sukovian accent coming through her voice.
"Yeah, what brings you to stark tower?" Bruce backs her up.
"Tony didn't tell you?" I ask, with a bit of embarrassment, everyone shakes their heads, I look up at Tony and he gestures for me to continue, of course he's gonna make me tell them, with a sigh I start my story. "I was living on my own, I saw S.H.I.E.L.D. on the news, and I thought it would be fun to find out more about it."
"And because the internet doesn't have enough information already, you. . ." Tony cuts in sarcastically.
"I. . . decided to hack into their database, just for fun it's not like I was gonna sell the info or anything."
"But S.H.I.E.L.D. security spotted your little virus and. . ." Tony says to get me back on track.
"And tracked me down, and caught me. I spent three days in a small metal room before the angry pirate told Tony to bring me here." The angry pirate comment earns me a few laughs, and rather than being mad and wondering why this criminal girl is eating breakfast with them, they all seem impressed by my story.
"Why were you living on your own at such a young age?" Wanda asks sympathetically, I dodge the question with one of my own.
"Wait a second, you're still gonna be nice to me even though i just confessed to being here as a prisoner of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Everyone looks around at each other and shrugs.
"Most of us are familiar with the inside of that small metal room, I mean, I've tried to kill almost everyone in this room." Wanda confesses.
"I used to rob people for a living before i became Ant-Man." Scott follows.
"When I get angry I go on rampages destroying cities." Bruce reminds me.
"And I was created by Ultron to destroy the human race." Vision finishes.
"The point is," Sam starts, "We've all done things in the past that we're not proud of, but the past is the past, and the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it."
"Enough with the Lion King quotes!" Rhodey shouts, "Who thinks Sam should be banned from ever picking the movie again." Everyone besides me and Tony raise their hands, Rhodey glares at Tony.
"What? I like the Lion King!" Tony defends.
"And here we see the domestic life of the Avengers, it's kinda creeping me out." I say, pretending to be a news reporter with my fork as a microphone.
"Well you better get used to it Firecracker, because you're a part of it now." Tony tells me.
"What do you mean?" I ask, trying not to get my hopes up.
"It must get pretty boring up in that room all the time, I guess it wouldn't hurt if you came and hung out with us sometimes, you seem like a good kid. Besides, now that they've met you they probably won't let me keep you in your room all the time." He explains. A huge smile spread across my face as he talks.
"Really?! So you're not gonna lock my door anymore?" I ask excitedly. Tony shakes his head and smiles, "Yes! Now this is gonna be the good life!" Everyone laughs and Peter congratulates me.
"Bear in mind, you're still not allowed to leave the Tower, and there are still some floors that are off limits." I nod my head letting him know that I understand, then the conversation moves on as we eat breakfast, but just as I finish my omelet Bruce asks me,
"So what did you use to create the virus?"
"I used my laptop."
"You had enough money while homeless to buy a laptop?" he asks quizzically
"Well no, I got a broken one free from a garage sale, them managed to scrounge up enough parts to fix it." I boast
"You fixed it yourself? Can I see it?
"Yeah sure, I'll go get it." I get up from my bar stool and quickly go to my room to fetch my computer.
