Chapter 4- A Friendly Tarantula


*3rd Person POV*

You waited down a corridor for Wanda and the explosion man to leave. Once you see them walk out you walk down to find the medbay again. You see posters on the wall, along with newspapers and photos of the team. You scoff and retrace your steps back into the dull room. Why did you always have to end up here? You looked around the room for your stuff to no avail. You start going through drawers to find anything that's yours when you hear the door open. You see a boy a little younger than you walk in. He stands in silence and waves to you. "Hello, my name is Peter, or Spider-Man, whichever is fine. You can come with me and I'll take you to other others." He gestures towards the door but you just scoff. "And why would I want to go back to them? I've tried to leave so many times, and once I get my stuff back, I'll be on my way for good. Where is my stuff?"

Peter leads you to the closest outside the room and opens it. You see your clothes neatly folded on the middle shelf. You grab them and turn to Peter.

"And the rest of it?" He looks at you confused and you point to the cupboard.

"Where's the rest of my stuff? I only have my clothes, where is my bag?" Peter nods and closes the closet door. "Um, Mr. Stark actually took all of that stuff and put it in evidence." You shake your head and look at him. "Great. I guess I'll have to live without it. I'm going now" You turn around and reach for the door handle. "Where?" You turn back to Peter. "Where what?" He looks back at you. "Where are you going to? I know your homeless, Nat found out. And being in a tower full of people you hate is probably better than sleeping on the streets." You look at the ground and swing your foot while you think about it. You wouldn't mind a proper bed or even a hot meal. You walk towards him and nod. "Fine. But only because you want me to stay." He smiles and starts to lead you out of the room. You hope this was a good idea.

You walk into the room and see everyone sitting looking at the table. "Hello again. In case you weren't here for when this idiot," you point at Tony. "put me in the soldier state, I'm Y/N." Tony looks up at you. "I'm sorry about that, by the way." You shake your head at look back at everyone else. Bruce stands up and walks over to you. "There is a room that you can stay in. I'll take you and you'll get a tour and meet everyone tomorrow." You smile and before you walk out the door your turn to Steve. "Sorry about punching you in the face earlier." He nods and as you walk out you hear Nat say "I'm sorry, she punched you? Can I get a video of that?"


...


You reach the door and look around as Bruce opens the door. There was a big bed and a whole bathroom to yourself. You opened the closet door to see some clothes. "Oh yeah, there are some of Nat and Wanda's clothes that they didn't want anymore. With any guess, they will want to take you shopping soon. I know it's not a lot..." You look at him and chuckle. "Dude I'm homeless, this is plenty." His face goes red and as he turns to leave you sit down on the bed. "Oh, and if it's possible, I would like my bag and necklace back." He turns around. "Why the necklace?" You shake your head and avoid the question. "So can you get me my bag?" He scratches his chin then looks back at you. "Well it's in evidence right now, but I'll try as a kind of sorry for the whole super soldier thing." You nod and give him a thumbs-up as he leaves. 

You flop back onto the bed. It felt like you were laying on a cloud. You snuggled into the pillows. The last time you had a bed this good was at the convention. You frown, suddenly feeling very alone in the world. You wipe the tears out of your eyes and go to sleep.


...


You wake up and look out your window. It was still early so you slip into leggings and a sports bra and go downstairs. You leave the tower and start running. You fall into a distinct rhythm and run for an hour before stopping. You don't even realize that your legs are throbbing until you come to a complete stop. You look across the street and see a small store with a violin in the front window. You stay standing for a moment before shaking your head and starting up running again. It had been years since you last played. It had been back in Australia. You wipe your tear and run back to the compound.

When you arrive back at the tower you go to the kitchen to find some breakfast. As you take a bite of an apple you see Nat walk in. "Hey, wanna train with us today?" You look up at her and chuckle. "I would say yes, but I just went for a run... and I don't want to ... at all." She smiles and puts her hand to her chest dramatically. "Wow, how shall I ever go on?" You both laugh and you head to your room. Life may be shit, but it is slightly less shit with rich people.

Almost as soon as you lay on your bed you hear a knock on your door. You groan and walk over, opening it to see Tony standing there. You resist the urge to slam the door in his face as he starts speaking. "I'm having a party tonight. I expect you to attend, not only because I'm letting you live here, but also because it's to honor you staying with us." You look Tony in the eyes and chuckle. "Really? I'm the excuse for a party?" Tony nods and before he can open his mouth again you close the door. Even though it wasn't a slam it was still satisfying.
