June 23 2018
Bruce: Welcome to the team
Doctor Robert Bruce Banner is a renowned scientist and a founding member of the Avengers. Highly respected for his work in biochemistry, nuclear physics, and gamma radiation.
Clint: We're happy to have you here.
Clinton Francis "Clint" Barton is an extremely skilled marksman, a former special agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and one of the founding members of the Avengers.
Wanda: It's good to have you with us. You'll do great here
Wanda Maximoff was a native of Sokovia who grew up with her twin brother, Pietro. Born with the latent mythical ability to harness Chaos Magic.
Anne, Benjamin, Cody, Caleb, and Alex looked at them as each of them shook hands with the Avengers. Steve and Tony were watching them while talking to each other.
Anne: It's an honour to be here.
Benjamin: This feels like a dream.
Cody: I think I'm gonna enjoy this.
Caleb: You all seem welcoming, just like what my brother described all of you.
They smiled at each other as they noticed Alex slowly walked away without saying a word, He was looking around the place as everyone was watching him.
Steve: He's not the most talkative here.
Cody: I figured, He's not a fan of Tony's jokes either.
Tony: Come on, who doesn't like my jokes?
Caleb: You should take some lessons from Clint. At least his jokes land. . . sometimes.
Clint: Hey, I aim to entertain, just like my arrows, always on target.
Tony: *Scoffs* Sure, Legolas. But let's not pretend you're funnier than me. I've got charisma, genius, and impeccable timing.
Wanda: Oh, stop it, you two.
Anne was watching the banter between everyone as she had a small smile on her face, The vibe was very different from where she usually lives, She felt like she was going to enjoy being here.
Bruce: Alright, enough of that. We should them around the tower.
Tony: Right- *Recieves a phone call* Oh, It's Pepper. You can show them around.
Steve nodded and told the others to follow him, Caleb already knew about the tower so he went on his own way, As everyone walked away, Anne was about to follow them until she noticed someone was looking at her.
He was leaned against the wall as Anne was looking at him, a bit confused to why he was standing alone and didn't introduce himself to the others, He continued staring at her until Anne heard Steve calling her name as she immediately walked away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steve guided them through the expansive halls of Stark Tower, The Tower was filled with even more rooms that reflected the futuristic yet functional design Tony had envisioned. Each space was carefully crafted for the Avengers' needs. There was a training room, gyms, labs, workshops, and many other rooms, The new recruits were fascinated by everything. they even learned about the AI, FRIDAY.
The elevator moved back to the living room as everyone walked in, Steve had a smile on his face and spoke to them.
Steve: So, what do you think?
Anne: I think it's really interesting, I loved the rooms.
Alex: Same here, I liked it as well.
Benjamin: *Wraps his arm around Alex* Do you think we can train together, Spider Bro?
Alex: *Rolls his eyes* Get off of me.
Cody: Alright, alright, save the wrestling for later, guys.
Benjamin smiled at Alex as Ambrose glared at him, The others chuckled until Anne said something.
Anne: Where's Thor?
Bruce: Oh, he's at midgard. He won't be back for a while.
Anne: But wasn't he with us?
Clint: What are you talking- Oh wait, you're talking about his brother.
Anne facepalmed as everyone chuckled, knowing she was a bit confused.
Wanda: *Smiles* Don't worry, It happens.
Steve: He should be downstairs, actually. I think i saw him floating earlier.
Cody: I see, That reminds me, Where's our rooms?
Steve gestured toward the hallway, leading to the private quarters.
Steve: Follow me. I'll show you to your rooms. Each one is equipped with everything you'll need to settle in, and they're all right next to each other for easy access.
Benjamin: Thanks, Cap.
Steve saluted as everyone smiled before they followed him as Steve was showing their rooms.
Meanwhile Caleb was seen flying towards the training room as he saw a blonde woman who was about to start training, Caleb had a small smile on his face and tapped on the wall, The woman heard the tap and turned around.
Jane Foster AKA Mighty Thor, Caleb and Jane knew each other for a long time and both of them have a secret crush on each other for a long time.
Jane: *Smiles* Caleb.
Caleb: Long time no see, Jane.
He began flying towards her as Jane smiled again as he landed on his feet.
Jane: You still like to make an entrance, huh?
Caleb: *Chuckles* Old habits die hard.
There was a light tension in the air, a mix of familiarity and something unspoken. Caleb was familiar with a lot of things on earth because Jane was the one who teached him, He also tried to learn new things to impress and make her happy.
Jane: It's been a while. How is everything?
Caleb: All is well, Jane. The winds of fate have been kind. I shall be staying here for a time, it seems
Jane couldn't help but chuckle as she shook her head, Caleb continued smiling at her as both of them continued speaking to each other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the new recruits were checking their rooms, Cody rested his back on one of the doors as Steve continued speaking to everyone. Suddenly, the door behind Cody opened, which almost made him stumble. Cody was upset and turned around as he saw who it was.
Yelena Belova, She is a former Red Room operative, Yelena looked shocked when she saw Cody in front of him, His annoyed look faded away as Yelena noticed the others.
Yelena: Steve, who are these people? And why is this guy at my door?
Steve: Sorry Yelena, We actually have new recruits, It would be nice if you could meet them.
Cody: I'm sorry, by the way.
Yelena looked at Cody as her gaze softened as she nodded and smiled a little, Anne heard Yelena's voice and immediately recognised it.
Alex noticed the door in front of him opened as he bit his tongue and saw someone in front of him.
Natalia Alianovna "Natasha" Romanoff was one of the most talented spies and assassins in the entire world and a founding member of the Avengers. She is a former Red Room operative, and Yelena is her adopted sister.
Natasha: I see we have a new recruit.
Steve: *Chuckles* A few, actually.
Alex took a step back and gave an awkward wave to her as Nat smirked and waved back before leaving the room while looking at the others.
Steve: I think you'll recognise someone.
He called Anne as Winters left her room and looked at Steve before looking at Yelena and Natasha, The duo's eyes widened, recognising their friend as everyone walked away, wanting to give some privacy.
Yelena: Oh my God, Anastasia?
Anne: I. . . I don't like that name, That girl's been through a lot.
Both girls frowned and looked at each other, Anne wasn't her real name. Her name was actually Anastasia Vayne, but after everything that had happened to her, Anne wanted to change her name and forget about the past.
Suddenly, both girls hugged Anne tightly, Winters had a huge smile on her face and hugged them back, They were so happy to reunite after so long.
Anne: I. . . I'm really glad to see you both.
Natasha: *Smiles* Same here, I never forgot about you.
Yelena: We missed you, you know?
Anne had a smile on her face while nodding, She always considered Nat and Yelena as her sisters.
Anne: Same here, and I'm glad I'm part of the team now.
Natasha: You won't be alone now.
Anne felt her heart skip a beat as a genuine smile grew on her face, Indeed. She was not alone anymore. The trio decided to talk at the room while the others went back to the living room and chatted with the others.
