The Bear

“Uncle Tony do we have to do this? I mean I’m not even that special.” You grumbled from the backseat.
“Yeah sure L/n beacuse everyone can shapeshift and teleport”
“Yeah but that doesn’t mean I can’t fight.” You shot back
“You can turn into a literal bear if you want of course you can fight. With the right training.” He rolled his eyes.
“Are you sure. I mean I can take myself bakc right now.”
“No we’re five minutes away now just sit tight and look out the window or somthing.”
“Whatever” you grumbled pulling out your phone and mindlessly scrolling through instagram. After what felt more like five seconds happy pulled up and stopped the car opening the door for tony as you opened your own door and got out muttering somthing about being too rich for door handles. You straeched and popped your back making tony wince at the sound he hated.
“Let’s go glow stick enough trying to light up by breaking your back. I’ll take you to your room before I have you meet the team.” You dragged your feet as you followed him into the foyer of the avengers tower and watched as he pressed the button for the right floor.
“You wanda and Natasha will be sharing a floor.”
“That’s the black widow and scarlet witch right?” You asked not being one to follow the news much.
“Yep. The redheads.” He winked knowing you were gay. You hid a blush and shoved him.
“Shut up uncle tones” you grinned. The lift pinged and tony began walking you down the hall. “This rooms Natasha this one’s Wanda’s” he said gesturing loosely at the closed doors. “And this one’s yours. I trust you can-“
“Get my own bags? sure pops.” You winked and with a small pop you vanished. Tony groaned hating when you did that.
He slumped slightly in the hall. “Jarvis please keep me updated on her position in the tower and alert me if she goes anywhere near the lab.” He grumbled. Nats door opened and she poked her head out frowning at tony.
“Tony what are you doing? Who are you talking to?”
“I was- nevermind I’ll explain at the meeting.” He said waving a hand and going back to the lift. Nat shugged retreating back into her room.

With a pop you arrived back at the car and opened the boot pulling out your backpack and two suitcases before holding them all and teleporting you and your things back to your new room.

With a sigh you began unpacking knowing no matter how much you may avoid to you had to go back across the contry to get the rest of your things. You stood, taking a deep breath and preparing for the long jump before disappearing with a pop.

Your head spun as you reappeared in your bedroom back home, hundred of miles away from the tower. You stumbled grabbing your box of art supplies you didn’t want to risk damaging on the long car trip. Sucking in another deep breath you teleported back. The dizziness was much worse now. Two big jumps without rest in close succession wasn’t good for you. Before you could fall over you set down the box on the floor and passed out onto the bed with a loud crash.

A few moments later Natasha entered the room looking at your unconscious form and bags around the room and frowing.
“What the hell” she muttered “Jarvis?”
“Yes ms romanoff.”
“Who is this?”
” Ms Y/n l/n is the niece of Tony stark.”
“Alright and what is she doing here?”
“Ms l/n’s uses to the avengers will be great thanks to her-“
“alright Jarvis that’s enough” tony said walking in the door after receiving an alert that his niece had passed out.
“Yes yes she’s my niece.”
“Tony she can’t-“
“Can’t be here. Sure she can, she’s here isn’t she? Pass me that backpack romanoff”
He said gesturing to your small backpack by the desk. Natasha frowned and picked it up shoving it into Tony’s chest.
“Less attitude romanoff” he grumbled.
“Whatever.” She rolled her eyes. “What did Jarvis mean she has great value to the avengers?”
“Ask her yourself” he said pulling a small vile and a pack of gum from the front pocket. He broke the vial open and waved it under your nose. Your eyes screwed shut.
“Tony what the hell is going on?” Nat asked
You screwed up your face. “Tony” you whined “why couldn’t you let me sleep it off like normal” you whined eyes still shut.
“Sleep what off tony? what’s going on?” nat asked again.
Tony pulled a strip of gum from the pack and unwrapped it shoving it in your mouth.
“Chew. And I woke you up because you can’t meet the team if you’re unconscious idiot” he grumbled.
“Whatever. And those are for emergencies only.”
“Whatever i live with you now I’ll just make you more. Or make Bruce make you more.” He grumbled.

You cracked an eye open finally noticing nat who was stood watching unamused.
“Oh hi.” You said
“Hi?” Nat said sounding unsure.
“I’ll leave you two to it then.” Tony said winking at you and leaving before you could protest.
“Let’s try that again shall we?” You said standing up and brushing invisible dust from your clothes and extending a hand. “Pleasure to meet you, im Y/n, Y/n L/n” you said. Nat took your hand raising an eyebrow at your last name being diffrent to starks.
“Natasha but you can call me Nat.” She said her grip was firm and you could feel the callus’s of long days spent training on her palms.
“Well not the best first impression.” You chuckled putting the vile and pack of gum back into your backpack.
“What is that stuff?” Nat said raising a brow.
“Oh uncle tony makes it. Its energy gum a special type he made for me so i can recharge the battery after long jumps.” You said and Nat had about a thousand more questions.
“Long jumps?” She asked.
“Oh he didnt tell you?”
“Tell me what?”
“This.” You said dissappering with a pop and appearing behind her tapping her shoulder. Nat spun around.
“Super speed?” She asked.
“Nope.” You said popping the p. “Teleportation. And..” nat blinked and suddenly a bunny was sat by her feet.
“Shapeshifitng?” She said sounding impressed. With a pop you stood before her again.
“Yep” you smiled.
“Alright ill admit that’s pretty cool.”
“Yeah. Well im sure you have important things to do before the meeting this afternoon. Tony wants to introduce me to the team and i need to unpack.” You said wiping your hands on your paint stained jeans one of your nervous habits.

“Yeah. Well I’ll see you around L/n” she smiled and patted your shoulder before leaving and closing the door softly.

The day went quickly as you unpacked. The meeting was smooth with the team impressed and curious about your powers. You must have answered a hundred questions before tony stepped in. You shifted to about six different animals and teleported to get them all icecream from downtown as proof and just like that they all loved you. Apparently icecream was a weak point for the group of earths mightiest hero’s. After the meeting was over you couldn’t help the fact your eyes lingered after the godess you had come to know as wanda. She was just so perfect. Her hips swished slightly as she walked away and you had to stop yourself from drooling. A crush was forming just like that. But you knew you had to pace yourself. You had plenty of poeple end things with you for being “too much” and you didnt want another heartbreak.

As you walked back to your room you smiled to yourself. You grabbed your backpack and sketchbook and walked down to the grounds. Picking a tree and sitting under it. You opened your back and buried your nose in your sketchbook. So for the next few hours you sat trying to capture every last detail your brain could rember abour wandas face. After a few hours you had a beautiful drawing of the redhead and you smiled shutting. Putting on the finishing details you were so wrapped up in it you didnt hear the footsteps approach until the person spoke to you.
“I was wondering where you had run off to.” Nat said sitting beside you. You quickly slammed the book shut but not before nat saw the picture. She grinned and raised a brow.
“Your an amazing artist.” She said and you flushed.
“Please dont tell anyone.” You said.
“What that your a good artist?” She said grinning coyly
“No. About the drawing. You weren’t suppost to see that.” You said still bright red you slipped the sketchbook back into your backpack.
“My lips are sealed.” She said. “But before i say anything else. She single.” Nat winked before getting up and turning to leave.
“Nat?” You said and she turned around again.
“Yes?”
“Did you come to tell me somthing or just tease me?”
“Oh lunch is ready wanda made a bit of a fancy meal for your arrival. Somthing tells me she likes you.” Nat winked and started to walk off. You hid your face in your hands. Grabbing your backpack before teleporting back to your room and dropping your bag on the bed before teleporting to the hall by the kitchen and strolling in.

“Somthing smells good.” You said and wanda looked up and smiled.
“I just sent nat to get you.” She smiled. And you grinned as Nat walked in.
“Looks who’s here.” Wanda said pointing the spatula at you and smiling. Nat frowned at your cheeky grin.
“Must be a sixth sense” you said and winked at nat.
“Or you just teleported.” Tony said walking in and wanda burst out laughing.
“Your no fun tones.” You fake glared at him.
“Bite me bear.” He said. Using your playful nickname for you. He loved bears and you often turned into one for him when he was sad so it became a name for you. Of course nobody would ever know that the great tony stark was cheered up by riding a big fluffy brown bear around his backyard in his late twenties. He couldnt count the number of times he fell asleep running his hands through the fur of a sleeping bear cub in his lap. You brought him a comfort only family did. One he had failed to recive for years after his perant, your grandpernats died. One you had also lost when your mother and father died also.

Wandas calls for lunch broke you from your thoughts as the boys all tumbled into the kitchen. You were introduce to the two girls you hadnt seen before. Just getting back from their mission you learnt the blonde was Yelena, Natasha’s sister and Kate was Clint’s protege. You sat down feeling that maybe your family had grown a bit bigger. And maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.
“Just a reminder your party is tonight to welcome you to the avengers.” Tony said slapping your back as he walked past to get his morning coffee.
“I heard the great tony starks parties aren’t the same as they used to be. Hope imn not disappointed.” You grinned taking another swig of your coffee.
Tony grumbled somthing about being dosmectiaec and you chuckled before going to your room to get ready for training.

It was about five when you finally decided on an outfit. The party starts at 7 so you had plenty of time. You had decided on a small sleek black dress that hugged all the right places. Sure you would have preferred a suit but you didnt feel much like making a stir at your first party. After laying out the outfit you yawned not used to being awake so early in the mornings. Deciding you could take a quick nap you curled up and shut your eyes.

Incessant knocking wok you up with a start.
“Y/N the party started twenty minutes ago get your butt downstairs. Come on your making me look bad” Tony yelled with an almost whine in his voice and you jumped up. Fixing your hair into a fancy updo and throwing on the dress and some makeup.

As you stepped into the room you realised it was one of Tony’s more calm parties. The avengers were sat around a table drinking and you grabbed yourself a martini before going to sit beside Natasha.

“Your going soft tones.” You grinned and he shot you a glare.
“Am not.”
“Its alright i kinda like domestic you.” You took a long swig from your drink feeling the alchol go straight to your head.

“So y/n why do you call tony tones?” Wanda asked and you grinned lopsidedly as tony groaned knowing what was to come.

“Well witchy.” You grinned as you watched wanda fight down a blush. “When my perants so kindly died.” Maybe the alchol was doing a bit more than you thought. You missed the look of shock on the avengers faces as you continued. “Mr stark here.” You gestured loosely to him “adopted me. I was about sixteen and tones being the fun uncle let me go to his parties. When i was seventeen we were all hanging out, me and Tony’s street scum friends were drinking.”
“You let her drink at 17!!” Nat yelled and you shrugged.
“No point being rich if you dont break a few laws I guess.” You grinned as tony covered his face with his fingers. “Tonys parties were a lot more wild back then and we had a little family ledged me and the street scum.” You said affectionately. “They were my family. Anyways the ledged was that iof you got tony drunk enough his tone deafness goes away and his awful catawlling turns into the most angelic singing ever. So one night we tested it out and secured some strong liquor. I wont say if it was true or not but tony woke up in missippi with a hangover and no clothes.” You grinned and the avengers all started laughing.
“And where did you wake up y/n?” Nat said narrowing her eyes jokingly.
you blushed “w-well thats not important.” Tony seeing his chance to get back at you took it with a grin. “She woke up in Massachusetts with a hangover and a peircing.” You groaned.
“Where?” Wanda asked her curiosity peaking.
“Right here.” You said tapping the helix pericing you always loved but never had the confidence to get without the help of alchol. “And before tony can convince you otherwise i alway wanted one so its not like i woke up with a pericing elsewhere.” You said pointing tony a sharp look. Tony choked on his drink. “Alrihght” tony said clapping his hands “chnage of subject.” And you burst out laughing knowing his peircing was rather … intimate.

“Oh i have plenty more stories of party animal tones over there.” You said tilting your drink in his direction “but im not nearly drunk enough yet for that.” You grinned taking a long sip.
“And you wont be tongiht.” Nat said taking your drink from you carefully and setting it on the table “this isn’t that kind of party.” She smiled seeing you frown.
“Boring.” You yawned and slumped down the couch.

“So how did you get your powers if you dont mind me asking?” Clint said eyeing your reaction closely.
“Oh you know, the usual.” You waved your hand dissmsisly dodging the question and changing topics. Nat and Clint exchanged looks not missing the way your shoulders hand tensed at the topic. Tony shot Clint a dark look telling him to drop it.

The night went well as you and the avengers chatted and shared stories. Nat was careful not to let you drink too much to keep you from embarrassing yourself on your first night. Taking it off you ever twenty minutes for a break. You let her for the most part. After about three hours the team was getting tired and you were mildly drunk despite nats best efforts.

“Come on hot stuff i think its time i take you to bed.” Nat said playfully and your eyes widened. “Not like that.” She scoffed slapping your arm lightly.
“Goodnight everyone im taking this one to bed now.” Nat said jabbing a thumb at you and helping you to your feet as you swayed. Nat grumbled not ready for you to get a head injury walking back to your room she scooped you up with little effort. You squeaked slightly and threw you arms around her neck as she carried you bridal style into the elevator. Nat helped you back to your room handing you some of you pyjamas she found in a drawer she smiled at the matching snoopy pj shirt and fluffy pants. Handing them to you she turned her back as you changed. After the shuffling stopped she asked if you were done turning to find your shirt on backwards and a dopy grin on your face. Nat sighed. Turning your tshirt around by guiding your arms back inside before helping you into bed. You looked adorable in your pjs and she helped take out your hair pins and used a wipe to clean off your makeup. After you were ready she placed a motherly kiss on your forhead and tucked you in. She sat with you until your soft snores filled the room and before she slipped out she put a bottle of pain meds and a glass of water on your bedside. She padded quietly down the hall to her room and slipped out of her fancy clothes chnaging quickly before getting into her own bed.

You were a puzzle, one she was determined to figure out. When she had heard you had lost your perants she felt almost a primal protection spark in her heart for you. It was almost maternal in nature as despite being almost 22 nat wanted nothing more than to mother you like a child. And it scared her. Yet she couldnt seem to resist the urge to care for you. She thought you were sweet and she wanted to protect you.

Wanda however had diffrent feelings. Since she had first laid eyes on you she was wrapped around your finger. You were perfect in her eyes. And the night of the party she was awake until the early hours thinking of every moment in great depth all ove from the way the dress held you tight in all tghe right places to the way your grin became lopsided when you drank. All down to how nat had left with you in her arms abd a feeling of jelpous panged in her heart. She knew she had nothing to worry about. Nat was like a mother to all the younger evenrgers. Peter, Yelena and Kate were basically babied by her all the time. And she saw the love in her eyes for you the moment she met you. She knew you held a special place in nats heart already but she couldnt help but feel it should have been her who helped you to bed and cared for you. But she didnt want to scare you away. She couldnt live with herself if she blew her chance before it really even began.
