The morning sun started to come through the windows, but Fable was still up, only she was too busy in the kitchen to notice the sun actually rising, she had went for a little walk, during that walk she had bought some things.

Fable was singing Disney songs while she swayed and worked on making a wonderous meal, "You got some voice." Leonard's voice startled her, "Was that Beauty and the beast?" He asked as she turned around to greet him.

"Good morning, and yes it was." She replied before turning back to the stove to flip some pancakes.

"You haven't slept, have you?" He questioned as he leaned against the counter beside her.

"I've spent my life around those who do not sleep, therefore I do not sleep as often either." She answered.

"What all are you cooking anyway?" He looked over at the stove.

"Food, a large meal in return for the hospitality they have shown to me," she started before grabbing a piece of bacon and handing it to him, "And you of course, not often anyone would let a criminal they don't know stay under the same roof as them." She smiled as she grabbed herself a piece of bacon and stuck it in her mouth.

Meanwhile:

Natasha had just knocked on Clint's door, "What do you want?" He growled as he opened the door a crack.

"Oh my god, do I smell bacon?" He inhaled deeply.

"And pancakes, I think someones cooking." She yawned.

"No, I thought it was a magical fairy burping out breakfast foods." Clint said sarcastically before getting smacked on the arm and pulled out of his room.

Tony was in bed when he started to smell the aroma of food, "Woah, that smells good." He said as he looked around for a minute, finally he rubbed the sleep from his eyes then hurried to get pants on before heading to the kitchen.

Thor's heavy footsteps woke Loki before Thor could even knock on his door, Loki poked his head out just as Thor was about to knock, "Do I smell chocolate cake baking, or is that something else?" Thor just shrugged at first.

"I haven't the slightest clue, I was going to wake you so we could investigate all of these delectable aromas." Thor laughed, Loki agreed and walked toward the kitchen with his brother as they discussed Fable's extraordinary amount of power.

As they walked down the hall Thor and Loki chatted, "I'm still in awe that she could weild Mjolnir." Thor said as he laughed.

"Be lucky she could, otherwise you would've likely had an unsightly hole in your face." Loki joked.

Steve walked into the kitchen just as Fable bit into another piece of bacon, "Good morning, How did you slee- Woah that's a lot of food!" Fable quickly turned around at the sound of his voice.

"I know at least three of you could probably eat your weights worth of food, so I made plenty." She replied laughing as he looked at the plates filled with different food that were scattered around the kitchen.

Soon enough Tony, Natasha and Clint came into the kitchen one by one, to find Steve chatting with Leonard while Fable readied the last bit of the food, "What's this, is it my birthday?" Tony laughed as he grabbed a piece of toast from a nearby plate.

As Tony was about to take a bite, Natasha knocked it out of his hand, "She could've poisoned that Tony!" Tony just sat there for a moment as he stared down silently at the toast on the floor.

Fable quickly grabbed two pieces of toast, handing one to Tony and pointing at Natasha with the other, "Poison is a weak mans game, if I wanted to kill you I could've done that with much less effort while you were sleeping." She bit into the piece of toast she was holding to make a point.

"I didn't know we even had pancake mix!" Clint yelled joyfully as he looked around at all of the food.

"Actually she went out and bought all of this stuff before the sun even came up." Steve answered.

"Yes, I was wanting to show you how gracious I was for your hospitality toward me and my new found company." She said as she walked back to the stove to flip a pancake.

Thor and Loki were walking into the room soon after Leonard, Tony, Clint and Natasha walked out with coffee in one hand and plates of food in the other.

"Are those chocolate pancakes?" Steve asked as he glanced over her shoulder.

"Actually they are chocolate chip brownie pancakes." She corrected.

"For breakfast?" He questioned as he noticed the two Asgardians walking into the kitchen.

"Why not?" She started, "My siblings used to love them for breakfast." She laughed as she put them into a serving plate.

She finally turned around to greet the brothers "Good morning Princes." She smiled as she seen the two staring in awe at all of the food, "Eat until your heart is content." She said softly as she handed them each an empty plate.

"You are an amazing cook!" She heard Tony yell from the next room followed by Clint agreeing just as loudly.

Everyone was in the dinning room eating, except Steve and Fable who were just walking into the room, "Aren't you going to eat?" She asked as she leaned against the doorway.

"As soon as I get cleaned up." He said, gesturing to his work out clothes.

"Wait, before you do that!" She said a bit more loudly than she intended, everyone started to watch them as she held up three fingers, one by one, lowering them until she was down to one, as she was lowering her last finger she disappeared in a puff of pink smoke.

Everyone was extremely confused and just looking around, "Sorry I was getting out of the shower, I wasn't decent and didn't want you to embarrass yourself." She said from the opposite doorway as she walked through with her wet silver hair, in a plush black robe.

"Wait, how the hell did you do that?" Natasha questioned.

"Magic." Fable replied as she wiggled her fingers, making light come from her fingertips.

Steve just shook his head and walked out with a look of utter confusion on his face, "So, wait, I wasn't talking to you while you were cooking?" Leonard questioned as most everyone went back to eating.

"Yes you were, in a sense, that was my double shift, I recall the conversation, but I wasn't there, it's all very hard to explain." Fable sighed as she took back her spot at the doorway, sort of keeping watch, glancing occasionally around the room suspiciously.

"Why aren't you eating?" Clint asked after a bit.

"Sorry," she apologised quickly, "Old habit from Taythen." She continued, not caring to elaborate further, she glanced around the room once more before she finally took a seat and started to eat.

Questions came from around the table as everyone ate, "Are you from mythology or something?" Was Tony's third question.

"My mother is, so I suppose I sort of am, she was alive long before the Haldin Order even came to be, she watched it all begin." Fable explained.

"So who is your mother?" This time the question came from Steve.

"They call her the lady in the trees and-" Thor cut her off as he started to talk.

"You mean she's real?" He was loud and very surprised.

"Unless I happen to not be, then I suppose she is real, granted I haven't seen her since the thirtys." She laughed.

A second later Natasha was the one to ask a question, "So, that makes you how old?" Fable looked up from her plate for a second.

"Cronologically, I'd be twenty five, technically I'm probably a lot older than that, considering I've been to so many different time periods." She replied before turning her attention back to her plate.

More questions came, some completely random, others well thought out and detailed, Thor's questions were all surprisingly very serious and were usually about her past, Tony's were random and off the wall, everyone elses all happened to be in somewhere in between.

Steve found out she had been on the same battlefield as him at least twice, Thor found out she had fought along side Odin at one point in time, she even mentioned something about Budapest to Natasha and Clint, causing Clint to choke on a piece of sausage.

The sound of Bruce walking into the room frightened Fable at first, but quickly she used one of her powers to hear his thoughts and found out he was not a threat so she continued to eat her pancakes while everyone spoke amongst themselves, now starting to ask Leonard questions.

"So good to meet you Dr. Banner, your friends have thought of you much." She spoke as soon as he walked into the room, quieting everyone else, doing her best to keep him from seeing her face.

"So, you're the girl who you caused such a commotion?" Bruce laughed.

"Yes, Fable Haldin, Battle Guardian of Taythen." She bowed her head as a greeting, careful to hide her face.

"Tony, you made me think she was super scary or something, she's just a kid." Bruce said as he shook his head and grabbed a piece of bacon from Tony's plate.

"She took each and every one of us down yesterday, trapped Peter with his own webs, took down Reindeer games without breaking a sweat," Tony started.

"Kicked Nat in the head, knocked her out." Clint chimed in.

"Clint got his own arrow through his leg." Natasha said pointedly.

Bruce just looked around at the group, "So who's that?" He finally asked as he pointed at Leonard.

"Leonard Snart," he drawled as he stood up to shake Bruce's hand.

"Careful, he'll nab your wallet." Natasha warned.

"Actually when you're going for a hand shake, the watch is the easiest target." Leonard admitted.

"Apparently he's a time traveler too." Clint scoffed.

"Wait, time travel is real?" Bruce asked, Leonard just nodded in reply.

"That's the truth Bruce." Fable laughed softly.

"Chloe?" Bruce whipped his head around immediately when he heard that familiar phrase and he was met by Fable's amber eyes.

"That would be one of my names." She admitted.

"You're for real, like really here?" He chuckled.

"And I haven't aged a bit, told you I would prove to you that it was real one day." She said with a full smile.

"Someone want to let us know what's going on here?" Tony asked finally, causing Bruce to start laughing before Fable stood up and let Bruce throw an arm around her shoulder for a quick hug.

"Meet Chloe Carolyn, my high school crush, and best friend through freshman year of college, she disappeared, went completely off the grid the night of prom, haven't seen her since she tossed a masked gunman out of a second story window that night." Bruce laughed.

"It was either that, or he would've killed my best friend, couldn't have that happening." She added before poking Bruce in the side.

"This is who you thought was oh so scary Tony?" Bruce sarcastically asked, causing Tony to be at a loss for words.

"Are those your get better pancakes?" Bruce asked as he pointed toward a plate of brownie pancakes.

"Yes, now eat before they finish off the rest of the food." She insisted as she handed him an empty plate that seemed to have materialised out of thin air.

Authors note:
