one month later
"y/n what are you going to do when we land?" Daisy asks me.
We have been in the air for about 3 weeks travelling all over the world dealing with 0-8-4s (an object of unknown origin) But we were finally landing in New York
"not sure I might catch up with f/n?"
f/n only stayed with me for week before going back to the tower to be with Cap and the team, she felt bad and she felt she did not fit in with the team. I was sad at first but knew she would be safe.
"what about the avengers will you see them" May asked. I shake my head I had not spoken to any of the team since. Not even my dad. Fury stayed in contact with Coulson, who let him know I was safe with him.
"what about you guys, Fitz-Simmons any plans" I ask the couple who blush making us all laugh
"well we are here for about a week so make the most of it" May says before heading off to find Coulson.
"I still can't believe this will be your first time in New York city?" I say looking at the Fitz-Simmons who shrug
"we are never in one place long enough to explore"
"well you got to try the pizza here when we land I am ordering you some" I say
my phone starts ringing and I check the ID
"its f/n" I say before answering
"Hey y/n guess what"
"what? are you with Cap yet?" I ask making the girl laugh
"well no, but we caught him"
"we caught Caleb Pavo" I tense I had spent my free time digging to find him and sent my information to f/n who passed it on to the team
"where is he?"
"he is here we are going to interrogate him tomorrow, when do you land?"
"we land in few hours, who is interrogating him?"
"Tony and your dad will be there is that is what your asking, the whole team will be"
"ok I will be there don't tell them" I say before hanging up
My hands start to shake I grip onto my seat to stop them
"y/n what happened how is f/n?" Daisy asks me
"she is good they caught Caleb Pavo, one of the guys who..." I say getting nods from the group. Coulson had told them prior to me joining about what happened. They were very sweet about what happened not wanting to talk about it or push to hard on the topic.
"that's great new will you go to the interrogation?" Fitz asks me
"Yeah I want to see him locked up with my own eyes" I say getting up and heading to my room and packing my belongings preparing for when we land shortly.
"Aura?" I ask my AI that I finally finished programming
"Yes y/n?" the AI replies
"connect me to Jarvis please" I ask I did this from time to time to check in with what is happening at the tower, in a not creepy way.
"Ms l/n how are you tonight" Jarvis asks signaling I am connected
"Hey Jarvis I am going great, what is everyone up to?"
"Mr Banner and Ms Romanoff are drinking at the bar" I smirk f/n and I always thought those two would hook up eventually.
"Mr Barnes and Mr Wilson are arguing over whether vampires and werewolves are real or not. Mr Barnes says they are not and Mr Wilson say they are" I laugh those two argue like a married a couple
"Tell Mr Wilson he is correct they do exist" I shiver at the memory of facing a blood sucker only weeks ago. It was my first mission with Coulson's team
I pull up the visual on my laptop watching Jarvis announce that Sam is real and then bragging about it to Bucky. I laugh
"Ms Maximoff and Vision are leaving to go out on a double date with Mr Rogers and Ms f/ln" I smile in triumph he finally asked her I look at the footage of the lobby where I see the group leaving for their date
"Jarvis tell them to use protection" I say making myself laugh as that is something he would not say
at the tower
"Mr Rogers and Ms f/ln, I must remind you to enjoy your night and to use protection" Jarvis says startling Steve and f/n who laughs and turns to the security camera and sticks the middle finger up making Steve laugh before the four go to their date
I laugh at f/n then ask Jarvis about everyone else
"Mr Maximoff is beating Mr Barton in Mario cart. Ms Potts is stressing over Stark Industries" I sigh Pepper has been stressing a lot recently over the company so I have been helping her anonymously with some of the paper work when I am free.
"and Mr Stark is in his lab" I pull up the security camera in Tony's lab and look at the man, who is working away on something I notice the piles of coffee mugs and empty bottles of alcohol laying around. And sigh
"Jarvis how long has he been in his lab this time?"
"Mr Stark has not slept for 76 hours and 23 minutes" Jarvis replied making me groan.
"Jarvis save and shut down the lab and tell him to sleep"
"I'm sorry Ms l/n since last time you did this he has upgraded the system so no one can hack it" I sigh and pull up the controls of his lab and adjust it so I can hack his new system
"fine I will do it myself" I save his data and shut the lab down only leaving his lights on so he can see. I look at the security footage and watch to make sure he goes to bed
"what the shit?" Tony exclaims getting up from his desk and looking around at the turned off lab
"Jarvis turn my power back on"
"I thought I fixed this" He grumbles
"Sir I must inform you that the hacker has over ridden your new and improved system"
"I noticed buddy, can YOU override them and turn my power back on" Tony says mockingly
I sigh
"stubborn mother fucker" I say grabbing my voice changer and hooking my ear piece to the Lab speakers
"Mr Stark you have been awake for over 2 days go to sleep now. Or I will blow up your suits" I say
"who are you and how do you keep hacking me?"
"go to bed Tony" I try again
"a hacker who looks out for my health I don't believe so? Did Nat put you up to this?"
I give up talking to him and connect to his beloved coffee machine and cause it to malfunction causing sparks to fly and the machine to start smoking.
"Last warning go to bed or next thing to go is your suits"
"really the coffee machine, fine I will go to bed only because you asked so nicely" Tony grumbled leaving the lab and walking off to his room.
"Jarvis lock the lab until tomorrow when Tony has gotten a full night's sleep" I order before disconnecting myself and do the final preparations for landing.
-time skip-
I exit the aircraft and head over to Happy who is waiting for me. I say my temporary goodbyes to the team before getting in the car.
"how have you been Hap?" I ask the head of security
"great, although the team were a mess without you, you know"
I just hum in response. Being with Coulson's team they have helped me process everything and I have changed I am more stronger. I had been training with May everyday and my once long hair was cut to h/l (just pretend you cut your hair or changed your hairstyle) to just below my shoulders.
"so am I taking you to the tower?" Happy asks. I laugh
"no, I'm not ready to see them in person just yet take me to the nearest hotel" I say earning a nod.
-next day- cause why not
I let f/n know I landed safely and I was going to head to the tower first thing in the morning so that is what I am going to do. I pull on my outfit for the day, and a pair of sunglasses to help hide my face. Even though f/n will know when I arrive. But until she sees me I want to be hidden
Before leaving I grab a small dagger and stash it in my jacket
I walk to the tower as it is only across the road.
"Good morning Ms l/n" Jarvis says when I step inside he buildings. A few agents look over to me confused. I just ignore them and reply to the AI
"Morning Jarvis where is the team?" I continue walking into the body
"They are in the kitchen about to head to the interrogation, do you want me to notify them of your arrival?"
"no thanks J, I will see them there" I step inside the elevator and press the floor of the kitchen starting to feel nervous I just shake my hands and concentrate
ping the elevator opens and I walk out toward the group who are seated around the dining table eating their breakfast. Bucky notices me and raises a eyebrow not recognizing me making me smirk
"excuse me this floor is for the avengers only" The rest look over at me cautious. I see Nat go to grab her gun and Thor reaches for Mjolnir. F/n eyes widen and runs over to me and wraps me in a hug
"hello to you too f/n" I say chuckling
"excuse me who are you" Nat say making me frown
"seriously I am gone for a month and you forget what I look like" I say placing my hand on my heart as if that hurt me
"y/n?" Wanda says everyone looks back at me and relaxes, placing their weapons down
"miss me?" I say walking over to the team and taking a sip from Steve's coffee
"what are you doing back, we thought we would never hear from you again?" Tony says I make eye contact with him for the first time, as notice how tired he really looks. I know from Jarvis he has not been sleeping but I did not think it was this bad. I soften my look and smile taking my glasses off.
"well I heard you caught Pavo, so I thought about time I visited"
"your not staying?" Wanda says I shake my head
"no just wanted to see for myself that you caught the bastard" I say smiling at the team who look disappointed
"we are sorry, we did not intend on you finding out that way" Steve says taking his coffee back from me. I laugh making them smile
"you did not intend on me finding out at all. But I have moved past that. Isn't funny how whenever we talk always someone is apologizing?" I laugh
"well lady y/n we missed you" Thor beams smiling at me I return the gesture
"I missed you too, now where is he?" I ask I turn to see my dad walking out of the elevator. He has not seen me yet though
"Pavo is awake time to interrogate him you guys ready?" he says not looking up from his phone. I smirk leaning back against the dining table
"yes sir ready to go" I say making him snap up to look at me
"y/n when did you land?"
"I landed last night Director" I say making him frown
"Right well Pavo is ready to go when your done catching up" he says to the team then motions for me to follow him, I just sigh and follow after.
"you sure you want to see him?" He asks when I catch up to him
"yes sir, this man has caused me pain. I would love to see him tied up and hopeless" I reply
"I like the jacket" he says smiling, I smile briefly continuing to the interrogation room.
Pepper POV
I walk into the kitchen and see everyone looing toward the elevator. And f/n looking like a happy little child.
"you guys ok? what happened
"so y/n is back" Sam says I stop and look at f/n who nods. I had stayed in touch with y/n. Letting her know how everyone was.
"well that is great news, so why do all look like frozen statues" I say making them look away from the elevator
"I just can't believe she is back" Nat says
"she has changed" Wanda says getting nods and hums of agreement. I share a look with f/n. The past month has been a challenge for y/n but she has gotten stronger
"of course she changed we all have changed as well" I say making some of them look at me, asking me to continue
"think about it since she left, two couples have started. Thor rarely visits, Tony never leaves his lab. Pietro and Clint always play video games" I say looking at the group of avengers in front of me who look like a group of children has just been told money does not grow on trees
"pep is right, now lets go and interrogate this son of a bitch" Sam says
"Language" Steve says making everyone laugh and get up and follow after Fury and y/n
Y/n POV:
I wait for the rest of the team to join Nick and I outside the viewing room that looks into the interrogation room. When I start getting nervous of seeing Pavo again. I agreed to watch the interrogation rather than be apart of it. I see f/n and the team coming down the hallway making me smile.
"Romanoff, Stark with me" Fury says everyone else goes into the viewing room. I snarl at the sight of him of Pavo. I find my spot against the back of the room leaning against the wall. Watching from afar.
"Right get comfy everyone this is going to be interesting" Pietro says making me everyone laugh while I just stare at Caleb through the one sided glass.
"Pavo, I am Director-"
" I know who you are director, Romanoff .... Stark" Pavo replies glaring at Tony who gives the same look
"just answer our questions and then you will be off on your merry way to prison" Nat says making us laugh watching.
"ask away" he says smirking looking into the one sided widow as if looking at me. The avengers just look at me and then back at the sight in front of them
"lets start simple where is Brock Rumlow?" Stark asks Pavo just shrugs
"not sure not here" he says Fury just asks again
"he is someone where in Australia" he admits
"Australia why?" Nat asks making Pavo smirk
"Retrieving a valuable asset" He looks at fury then back at the window. I furrow my brows confused
"what sort of asset? a weapon?" Fury asks
"no, but they are deadly" he replies simply
"a person?" Stark asks making Pavo nod
"is your daughter here Director I would love to see her again" He smirks making my skin crawl.
"no she is not and you will never see her again" Stark says making Pavo laugh
"what a shame, I would have loved to keep giving you answers but if she is not here then I doubt I will be much use" he says leaning back in his chair. The avengers start clenching their fist at Pavo's remark.
"he is smart" Bucky says through clenched teeth
"you were answering before what changed?" Nat says Pavo shrugs
"I thought she was here. I am surprised she gave up the chance to see me tied up" he laughs. I roll my eyes and shift from leaning against the wall and walk up to the window getting closer. F/n notices and stands next to me reassuringly.
"If she was here would you answer our questions?" Fury asked getting a glare from Nat and a grin from Pavo.
"If I got to have one conversation with her then I will consider answering you questions Director" he says
"No. You will answer our questions when you see her not talk to her. Got it" Stark says making Caleb laugh
"Still into her eh? I heard she left you after you betrayed her trust. How is that working out for you Stark?" making Tony stiffen and look at the window with an apologetic look. I frown he is controlling this when it should be the other way around. I grab my ear piece from my pocket and plug it in and connect myself to Fury.
"Director its me, get out of there I will talk to him and get you some information" I say pressing my ear piece making the other avengers to look at me sadly.
"y/n you don't have to we can do it another way" Wanda says I shake my head and leave the viewing room.
Fury, Nat and Tony exit the interrogation room leaving me to go before I do Tony grabs my wrist pulling me to look at him. I look at his hand on my wrist before looking up at his eyes.
"be careful and leave when he says anything ok?" he says concerned
"don't worry Stark I will be fine just enjoy the show" I say before pulling my hand out his grasp and walk into the room.
"y/n sweetheart good to see you again. You look different. sexier" I roll my eyes and stand in front of him.
"Pavo, who is the asset you mentioned?" I asked getting straight to the point
"what no hello?, just straight to the point" he ask
"answer the question then I might even ask how your day was" I reply making him smirk
"your feisty I don't remember you being feisty just vulnerable" I clear my throat and take a seat opposite him
"who is Brock getting? I ask again sternly
"someone you have forgotten about by the looks of it" he replies making me confused.
"enough with the riddles who are they?"
"your twin y/n" I am confused I don't remember having a twin. I hear footsteps approaching the door
"Jarvis lock the door" I say I hear the interrogation door lock and I see Pavo smirk
"You must be confused I don't have a twin. But being delirious I can see your confusion" I say making him chuckle
"interesting tell me did you have a imaginary friend when you were growing up y/n" he says amused. I think back to growing up and having a imaginary friend
"yes I do recall having one, all kids do" I reply
I hear dad knocking on the door making Pavo smirk. I just ignore it and glare at the man in front of me
"humor me did this friend also disappear suddenly when you turned 6?" he asks. I take a moment thinking realizing he did.
"your telling me I have a twin brother who has been missing for over 20 years?" of course I do because that is normal.
"not missing just out of your reach" he replies laughing. Growing frustrated I grab my dagger from my jacket and stab his hand making him scream in pain.
"You scream like a girl, now listen you little shit. Tell me where he is and why Rumlow is after him" I say leaning in to his face
"He is-s in Sydney, Rumlow thinks he has some sort of powers" he stutters I laugh
"not so tough now huh" I say pulling the dagger out and leaning back in my seat propping my feet up on the table.
"Why is he in Sydney?"
"He has been trying to find you" he says making me get up and walk toward the door.
"As Nat would say thank you for your cooperation" I say sending on last wave before opening the door and leaving.
"Y/n, don't ever do that again" Fury says waiting in the viewing room along with the rest of the avengers. As I walk in I get around of applause making me laugh
"Nick lighten up she did good. She got us the information" Steve says. I send him a thank you smile before turning to my dad
"when were you going to tell me I had a twin? or was that something else you were going to keep from me" I say making the room go silent
"your mother told me not to tell you" he replied making me scoff
"well she's dead so. My twin what is his name?"
"y/n don't say that she was your mother"
"I didn't say anything bad just stating facts, now what was his name Director?" I ask
"Stop calling me Director I am your father" I wince at his tone slightly
"adopted, I was my mothers child not yours. So don't you dare play the father card with me now tell me his name" I say a hurt expression appears on his face.
"y/n maybe you should get some air" Nat says I just roll my eyes and walk out leaving Nick to think about my words
"Nick she does not mean it she is just mad" f/n says
"She is not wrong though" he replied
