This is my first ever written request. @jo-stark I hope you like it.
Summary: Young girl who just wants to be in a family again, but it is hard to be in one when your old one just left you.
Warnings: Alcohol, smoking, maybe some grammatical mistakes
The whole compound was silent, no voices, no noises, no nothing. Everybody was in bed and asleep. At least it seemed like that. Suddenly there was a noise, it broke the peaceful silence. The noise echoed through the hallway, it was a sound of someone walking. In the dark appeared a young girl, probably 15 years old, with skates resting above her shoulder. She stepped down the hallway of the silent compound, her destination, the kitchen. The girl loped around the corner and directly towards the fridge. She stopped in front of it and opened the fridge. Her eyes scanned the box.
“Damn, nothing to eat or to drink. Who’s turn was it to go grocery shopping?“, she slammed the door shut and glanced at the door of the cold box. There was a paper attached to the metallic door. The darkness didn’t allowed her to see what was written on it, so she raised her hand up and like it was the most normal thing in the world, she created a flame in her hand.
“Sure, it has to be Sam. He is so lazy.“, she cursed and rolled her eyes.
“(Y/n), I told you, no fire in the compound!“, Tony flicked the lights on and crossed his arms over his chest. He was in his pyjama and you could hear the sleepiness still in his voice. She turned her head towards the man and showed her hand with the flame in his direction. She just closed it and the flame extinguished.
“Happy?“, she asked annoyed.
“Yeah, why are you still awake? I called bedtime for you hours ago and now I find you in full clothe, with your skates around your shoulders, in the kitchen?“, he took a good amount of steps towards her. He looked down at her, like a father would look at his child, when it did something wrong. But her face showed no emotions, she just looked at him with an annoying face.
“Yeah, I couldn’t sleep and the weather outside is perfect for a round on the ice. And by the way, I was on a run for some food, but nobody in this building went in the supermarket to buy something eatable and now I have to starve.“, she raised her voice slightly at the end of the sentence.
“Don't talk to me like that, it isn’t my fault that Sam forgot to go in the supermarket. Blame him, not me. But now, bed. I will get something delicious for breakfast for you.“, he said in a strong voice, but his statement comprehended a sweet taste of fatherhood.
Fury recruited this young girl a few month ago and he asked Tony if he would take care of her.
If he would give her shelter and give her a good life. Nick never told Tony what happened to her in her past, because he wanted her to tell him and the team by herself. In short she is a mutant, she wasn’t born with these elemental powers, she was punished with them. Someone took this little girl and experiment on her, but what really happened does only she know. Until now, she hasn’t told anything about her real family and her past, she just keeps her mouth shut. The whole team wants to be there for her and help her with whatever happened to her, but she never lets anybody near her. Maybe in the near future she could agree to be in a family again, but at the moment it was hard for her to be in one, her last one was not what a family should be and thats why she has a problem to let go and opens up towards other people. Some of the team started to get suspicious with her, because she never opens her mouth, whenever someone is asking her what happened to her or why she go these powers.
“Alright, would you excuse me then, I have a bed to attend.“, she nodded her head in his direction and walked past him.
“Night.“, she yelled after him and walked out of the kitchen.
______________________________________________________
The next morning she came back into the kitchen, where she meets the rest of the team. Tony “promised“, that he would get something delicious for breakfast for her and he kept his “promise“ and made some pancakes and waffles.
“Good morning, sunshine. Look I said I would do something good for breakfast.“, she rolled her eyes, but for the first time in a while she gave Tony a honest, thankful smile.
“Morning“, she greeted the rest of the team and placed herself on an empty chair right next to Steve.
“Morning.“, Steve greeted her and gave her a small smile. She nodded her head and gave him a short smile in return. Then she started eating, she placed a good amount of pancakes and waffles on her plate and started to shove it into her mouth.
“So, people what is everyones plan for the day?“, Tony asked the still sleepy crowd of people sitting at the table. He walked over from the counter and said down next to (Y/n).
“Going back to sleep probably.“, Sam yawned and took a sip from his coffee.
“Yeah, good idea.“, Natasha agreed with the bird man.
“You will do nothing until you went to the grocery store and bought something eatable, birdie.“, (Y/n) said sassy, she raised her head and glanced at Sam.
“I went shopping, Avatar.“, he snapped back.
“What did you buy? Birdseeds?“, she asked him back again. Some of the other teammates had to suppress their laughters. Sam just sat there, stunned and couldn’t say anything at all.
“Well, when you go, please could you buy me some chocolate? The good one, it would be so kind of you.“, she added and smiled at him. After she finished her plate, she stood up and walked out of the kitchen, but peeked back around the corner and smiled at Tony, “Thanks for the food Stark. I’m out with friends, see you later guys.“
She then disappeared and walked straight to her room to get dressed.
“Did she really said that to me?“, Sam pointed at the empty chair opposite from him and had an disbelieving impression painted on his face.
“She wasn’t wrong. You actually didn’t bought anything. Just some nuts and apples.“, Natasha said and shrugged her shoulders.
“Just go shopping. We will do the list for you, okay?“, Wanda said and gave him a soft smile. He rolled his eyes, but nodded at her, in agreement.
20 minutes later (Y/n) came out of her room, ready to go out with her friends. She wore some tights and a hoodie, her skates thrown over her shoulders and a hockey stick in her hand.
“Where are you going young lady?“, Tony walked down the hallway and past her. She looked at him with raised eyebrows, “Like I said before, I’m going out with friends.“
“Be back at 9 pm and don’t do anything bad!“, he said with a serious voice.
“What are you? My father?“, she chucked dirty and walked past him.
“I will be back when I will be back. See you, Stark.“, she saluted goodbye with one finger and walked towards the elevator, still chuckling, but in the moment the elevator door closed she stopped and took a deep breath.
She knows that the team doesn’t know anything about her and that they become suspicious the longer she doesn’t open up, but she isn’t one of these persons who could just go and tell everybody about her life. She wants to be part of a family again, but she doesn’t know how.
On her way to the sea, where she will play some hockey with her friends, she thought about her past and how her life is now. It is better, way better than before. She had a place to stay, nobody experiments on her, she could do what ever she wants and finally she had some sort of life. But having a family again, would be the main achievement again.
“(Y/n), how are ya?”, a young boy walked up towards her and kicked her out of her thoughts. He held his hand out and she took it and they greeted each other with bumping their shoulders together.
“I’m alright, though. Ready for some hockey, Mike?”, she gave him a hit on the shoulder and walked past him. On the bench, next to the sea, where they are about to play some hockey, sat a group of young people. (Y/n), noticed her friends and some other people, she has never seen before.
“(Y/n), what’s up? Looking good today.”, a young boy, with blond hair and blue eyes called after her and bits his lip while checking her out.
“Shut it, David.”, she hissed at him. He held his arms in the air and waved with them. It was a sign for “Sorry, girl. I’m just honest.“
“Yeah, David. Give her a break. You will never have a shot with her. She is way to good for you, you moron.”, a girl next to him hit his shoulder and stood up from the bench and walked over to (Y/n).
“Britney, what’s up?”, she held her hand up and the girl gave her a high five and then a fist bump.
“Nothing much, girl. I just wanna play some hockey.“, the young girl with blond hair simply said.
“Yeah. Lets go on the ice.”, (Y/n) greeted the 2 unknown people with a wave of her hand and a friendly hello.
“Who are they?“, she turned to Britney and asked her.
“Oh, some friends of Mike.“, she got closer to (Y/n), “The one with the brown hair is 21“, she smirked at her and gave her a wink.
The two boys walked over to them and introduced each other probably.
“Hey, I’m Chris and this is Jack.“, the brown haired boy said and held his hand out.
“(Y/n)“, she said simple and took his hand. After they introduced them, they all put on their skates and went on the ice. 40 minutes and a victory for (Y/n)s Team later, they sat on the bench again. It was somewhere over 2 pm in the early afternoon. The wind blew a cool breeze over the frozen sea.
“Its getting cool.“, Britney said and closed her jacket.
“Winter is coming.“, Mike said with a chuckle.
“Hey, do you need something to warm up?“, Chris asked the group of young, underaged people.
“What do you have?“, (Y/n) asked curious.
“Beer, vodka, what do you want?“, the brown haired boy looked at her with a smile.
“Give me a beer at first.“, she answered and the boy grabbed his backpack and opened it, he took out some bottles of beer and held one towards the young girl.
“Here, young lady.“, she took the beer in her hand and opened it easily.
“Oh, seems like its not your first one.“, Chris looked at her impressed.
“No, its not. But the alcohol doesn’t effect me.“, she shrugged her shoulder and took a sip from the cold liquid.
“She cant get drunk.“, Britney added and smiled at the boy.
“How is that possible?“, he looked fat her astonished.
“I don’t know, somehow it is possible.“, she shrugged her shoulders and took another sip. She knew that the powers she owned where responsible for her resistance against alcohol, but she how should she explain some stranger that she has some sort of elemental powers.
Some hours went by and the group sat there at the sea, drinking and talking about everything and everybody.
“Chris, what do you do for living?”, (Y/n) asked him.
“I play in a band. I’m the drummer.”, he said and (Y/n) smirked.
“I play the drums too, as well as the guitar.”, she said with a sassy look on her face. Since she is a little girl, she wanted to play some instruments and so she did. She taught herself how to play it.
“Wow, since when?”, he asked, still impressed by her.
“Since I’m 5.”, she said and took a big sip from her beer.
“That’s cool, maybe you could play with us sometimes?”, he glanced over at her with a smile and hoped for her to say yes.
“Sure, why not.”, she shrugged her shoulders and nodded her head in agreement.
Suddenly a familiar voice called after her, “(Y/n)!”
“Oh god, what is he doing here..”, she rolled her eyes and looked in the direction where the voice came from. A young boy with brown hair and a backpack over his shoulder walked over to her.
“Hey, Wh- what are you doing?”, he pointed at the beer bottles.
“Peter, hey.”, she greeted the boy with an sarcastic voice.
“Mr. Stark will not be happy if he finds out that you drink and smoke!”, he tried to sound as serious as possible.
“Wow, I don’t really care, Parker. He is not my father or even a family member of mine.”, she said annoyed. She glanced at him with empty eyes and you could see that she doesn’t care in the moment if he finds out or not. Maybe she wants that attention, the feeling of somebody caring for her. But that is something that only she knows.
“Peter, you are a nice kid, but please go home.”, she nodded her head at him and motioned with her hand that he should go and be somewhere else. Peter wanted to say something, but somehow he couldn’t and waved goodbye and walked away. (Y/n) looked after him with a small pitiful smile, but pulled herself together and went back to her friends. She somehow liked the spider boy, but doesn’t wanted to admit it.
It was something after 10 pm in the evening and the crew decided to go somewhere else, because it was a little to cold to sit there at the sea.
“I have a car, wanna go for a ride.“, Chris suggested.
“That sounds cool, lets do it. What car do you have?“, (Y/n) asked the young man and started to pack her things.
“Just a van, a VW Multivan nothing special. Something to get all the instruments and people in.“, he said and shrugged his shoulder, he started to walk in the direction of his car.
“Its a nice car. Enough space for everything. I like it. Hey do you mind if I drive? My father taught me how to drive years ago.“, she asked him curious and hoped that he would say yes, she doesn’t drove a car in month, but she still knows how to do it.
“Are you sure you can do it?“, Chris asked her with a suspicious look. Britney walked up behind (Y/n) and placed her arm around her shoulder.
“Yes, she is a very good driver!“, she said with a grin.
“Well, then okay.“, he handed her the car keys. All 6 of them walked over to the car and placed themselves in it. After a short fight, who would sit where, everybody had a place and the ride could start. (Y/n) drove off the parking lot and on the street, she really could drive and Chris was really impressed by her. He didn’t fall for her or anything, she was way too young for him, but he liked her in another way. He marvelled her ability. Little did he know, that this girl has more than just this to offer. That she could burn him down in seconds or that she could send him away with a wave of water or that she could create a hurricane with just a snap of her finger.
“You are a really good driver.“, he said and smirked at her.
“Thanks, I know.“, she said and looked over at him and returned that smile. Just in that second, where she didn’t paid attention to the street, another car drove straight towards their car. Just before the other car could hit them, she realised what was about to happen and pulled the wheel in the other direction. It was just some millimetre and the other car would have crashed into their car frontal. Luckily she yield away in the last second, but unfortunately she hit a tree with Chris his car. The crash at the tree wasn’t without consequences. Luckily everybody had fasten their seatbelt so nobody flew out of the car, but sadly they all took a hit at the head. After a short moment of everybody being a little bit absent, (Y/n) took over the words and asked if everybody was okay.
“Anybody dead?“, she breathed heavily and turned her head slowly towards the others.
“No, nobody is dead, besides his car.“, Mike said gasping for air.
An hour later, everybody was medicated and back to full life. Sadly it was a car crash and therefore the police attended the accident location. Unfortunately not only the police was informed, but also Tony and Steve walked up towards the car.
“Oh no, how told them?“, (Y/n) looked in their direction and could see how angry both of the men were.
“I don’t wanna hear anything.“, you could hear the anger burning inside of Tony.
“I don’t wanna tell anything.“, she snapped back.
“Officer.“, Steve called after the policeman next to me.
“Yes. Oh hello are you responsible for her?“, the man pointed at (Y/n) and glanced at the both men. They looked at each other for a moment and then back at the officer.
“Sadly, yes.“, Tony said, trying to sound a little bit calmer, but failed miserably.
“You can take her with you, there is nothing she can do for us in the moment. She will hear from us in the next few days, but for now, she is all yours.“, the man said and left with a friendly nod towards the elderly men.
“Lets go home.“, Steve said serious and avoided every gaze (Y/n) gave him.
The whole drive home was silent, nobody said a word. Not even (Y/n). She just sat there in the back of the car, staring out of the window.
After they reached the parking space of the compound, (Y/n) jumped out of the car and started to storm off.
“Young lady, we are not finished yet.“, Tony yelled after her.
“I think we are. You told me, you don’t wanna hear anything and told you I will not tell you anything. So I think we are finished here.“, she yelled back and continued to storm off.
“Oh and besides, you should check your breaks, they sound a little bit used. Change them.“, she added angry.
Two days went by and she never left her room. She just sat there in the dark. In the evening of the second day, Steve walked up to her room and knocked careful. She didn’t answered him, so he knocked again, but still no answer.
“Friday open the door for me please.“, he ordered and the Al did what asked for. He looked through the room, but nobody was there. The light that shined through the door end-lighted the dark room, but he couldn’t see anybody sitting in there.
“(Y/n)!“, he called after he but nobody said a word. Suddenly he felt a cold breath touching his skin. He glanced over towards the window and saw that it was open.
“Oh for gods sake. TONY!“, he screamed the his friends name as loud as possible. A few moments later Tony sprinted in the room, “Whats wrong?“
“Oh I see. Why do we do that? Do we need that? Peter is exhausting enough..“, he placed his head in his hands and shook his head in disbelief.
“Look, there she is.“, Steve padded Tonys shoulder and pointed at the sea.
“I will go.“, Tony looked at her in the distant.
“Let me do it, maybe I can find out what is wrong with her.“, he added and walked out of the room.
Minutes later, Tony walked over towards the sea, a blanket in one hand and some tea in the other hand.
“Hey.“, Tony said calm. The girl sitting in the dark at the frozen sea, turned around and looked at him.
“I have something to warm you up.“, he smiled, even when she couldn’t sea it probably, because it was dark.
“I can warm myself from the inside.“, her voice was silent.
“Then will I take it. May I? “, he pointed at the spot next to her. She turned back around towards the sea and shrugged her shoulders. Tony took that as a yes and placed himself next to her.
“You know, you were right, my breaks were a little bit rusty. Ive got them changed today.“, he said and looked over the beauty of the sea. She looked up at him and shrugged her eyebrows. She was stunned, because nobody who was much older than her told her that she was right, that she did something good. All the adult people she was with, always told her to be quit and that she is nothing, that she is a failure.
“My father taught me everything about cars. But he passed away when I turned 8.“, her voice broke by the thought of her father.
“I'm sorry. My father and my mother passed away as well, but I was 21 when this happened.“, Tony said, still looking at the sea.
“My mother, she.. she didn’t know what to do, she had no money, she couldn’t fed me after the death of my father. She needed help, she needed money. When I was 10 my mother sold me to HYDRA. They needed children for some mutant experiments. They wanted to know if kids could take these genetic changes.“, she inflamed a little fire in her hand and extinguished it again with a little stream of water from the other hand.
“My mother told me that she will come back, but she never came back.“, her voiced turned low and it was almost impossible to hear her saying these words.
“HYDRA gave me my powers. Actually they punished me with them.“, she turned her head towards Tony, even when it was dark Tony could see the tears in her eyes.
“I never wanted this. I just wanted to be a normal girl, with dreams and a normal future. I wanted to be a professional figure skater, but now I can cut this out of my bucket list.“, she gasped for air.
“Why? You still can be one. I saw you skating, you are incredibly talented.“, Tony smiled down at her and placed a supporting hand on her shoulder.
“Because I’m a monster. Why am I here? Why didn’t I get killed?“
“I don’t know, maybe because you still have a lot of things to do, maybe you still have the chance to life a almost normal life. You are still young and you have a lot of friends and you have a family who will protect you.“
“I don’t have a family.“, the tears started to roll down her face.
“Yes, you have. We are your family.“
