Maddie's POV



                          
"I'm here to talk about the Avengers Initiative." He stated. "I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but who are you." I said and took a sip of my hot chocolate that was going cold because of how long it had been sat there whilst I was drawing. "I'm Director Nick Fury. And I would love for you to join the Avengers. I hear that you have a very special skill set. And have been helping out in New York already." He stated. "Um, well. You see. I can't. I'm bearly surviving anyway. I mean I don't even have a house. I don't think I could handle that sort of stress. Or you know something might happen." I said as I finished my hot chocolate. "Well you can live at the Avengers tower and every thing is provided for you. And we really need you, plus you and Wanda can help each other with your skills." He said and looked down to my wrists as I noticed that the bracelets had gone up my arms and you could see the scars so I put my hands under the table. "Um... I have a pretty messed up past. But if you can get over that then ok. I'll join." I said and packed away my sketch book and pencils. "Don't worry. I think you'll fit in and I have already told the others about you so they know who you are. And you can move in today if you want to." He said and got up with me. "I need to go to my hotel room so I can pack." I said as we walked out the café. "Ok, I'll drive you there. Then I can drive you to the Avengers tower. They are going to love you."


                          
And here I was standing outside the Avengers tower. I walked in and saw someone that I recognised from the news standing near a lift. "Hi, you must be Maddie. I'm Steve Rogers. Pleasure to meet you." He said and stuck his hand out for me to shake. "Hi. And the pleasure is mine." I said and shook his hand. He took my hand and pulled me in the lift. He was talking the whole ride what level my room was on. Of course I would remember I mean I had a photographic memory. The lift finally stopped and I was dragged out. "Everyone this is Maddie. Maddie this Tony, Bruce, Natasha, Clint, Wanda, Pietro, Vision, Sam, Rhodey and Bucky." He said and pointed to everyone whose name he said. Everyone came up to me and shook my hand whilst saying hello. Wanda and Nat said they would take me to my room and then shopping to buy some more clothes. Everyone here seemed to except me and they seemed nice. But I would wait to tell them about my life back in England.


                          
Nat and Wanda kept their promise and they took me shopping, then showed me all around the tower. It turns out my room was on the same floor as Bucky. I smiled all the time and actually had a good time. I think I am going to like it here and I think Wanda, Nat and I are going to get closer. It was now time for tea and they took me down to the dining room. "Hey Maddie, why don't you sit hear?" Pietro called out. "No she is sitting with Nat and I. And get those ideas out of your mind." Wanda called over to Pietro, who I figured was her brother due to Pietro's thoughts. "Ok. Well welcome to the Avengers family Maddie. Would you like a drink?" Tony asked and was about to pour me an alcoholic drink before I stopped him. "Just some water please. I don't drink alcohol." I said and Tony looked shocked before going off and getting me my water. "Why don't you drink?" Tony asked as he came back with my water. "Tony you can't ask personal questions like that. It might have something to do with her past." Bruce said. "Don't worry about it Bruce. It is just someone I know has put me off because of how they act when they have had alcohol." I said and cringed at the thought of Jack. And everything he has done to me. "You know what. I'm not very hungry so I think I'm just going to go to bed." I said and before anyone could say anything I ran to the lift, with tears filing my eyes and every bruise or scar left by Jack burnt with pain.
