See you in a minute

*LILA POV*

- DAD - I yelled running towards the entrance, where my father was next to a girl with brown hair and brown eyes who showed fear, but also adrenaline and amazement - And I suppose you are...- I started but she cut me off

- Kate Bishop - introduced herself

Nadya appeared a few seconds later, along with the others.

- Oh, you were right Cирень - Nadya said when she came to my side, and I blushed because of the nickname, lately she had started to call me Lila in Russian, I know it's as if she called me that in English but when she speaks Russian it makes me feel butterflies in my stomach

- Right about what? - Kate asked.

- Are you the girl that stole the suit? - asked Nadya with her questioning voice that scares anyone

- Yes - she answered a little uncertainly.

- Well that - she answered

- That what? - asked my father

- Lila and I agreed that you were going to bring her as if she were an abandoned dog, like you always do, sometimes they stay here and other times they can't stay, but they always pass by, with that same look - she said pointing to her eyes from Kate - Is she going to stay this time or not?-

- what look? - Kate asked a bit confused.

- The one you have right now, a look with fear and wonder. Yours also has adrenaline but that doesn't always happen - answered Nadya

- Okay, Nadya, stop scaring Kate, okay? - interrupted my father

- What? I have not done anything to her, she has asked, I have only answered - she answered sighing and I laughed

- Well, now that the thief of your suit is here, what will happen? - I asked

- F.R.I.D.A.Y. tell the avengers that aren't here to meet in the meeting room - he said before disappearing, leaving us all, including Kate, at the entrance.

- What has happened? - I asked for

- Who is F.R.I.D.A.Y.? - Kate asked.

- It's the artificial intelligence that this tower has, basically it does what you ask - Nadya answered

- What are you doing standing there? - Tony yelled at us, who had already gone with the others to where my father had asked us - Let's go to the meeting room, I want to know what Barton wants -

- Come on Kate - I said dragging her towards the meeting room

We reached the meeting room, where everyone was already seated. Kate stood next to my father, while Nadya and I sat together, Nadya sitting next to Yelena and me next to Wanda.

- Well, guys, here is Kate Bishop, the girl who went viral for stealing my suit and saving a dog, which is right now in my bedroom, but that's not important. Do you remember what we talked about in the previous meeting about a group of young avengers? - He asked and we agreed.

- Where do you want to go with this? Tony asked.

- I think I already know who I want to be in the group - he replied

- Who? - I asked

- Well, Yelena, Nadya, Peter, although we'll have to discuss that with him since he's not here - she started but was interrupted by Nadya

- Peter? Who is Peter? - she asked

- Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man - I replied

- He's a Tony Stark but dressed as a spider and young - Sam commented

- And without ego - continued Bucky

- And no money - said Wanda

- Well, yes, Peter has the intelligence of Tony, but that's not important, Nadya, Yelena, you'll know him this afternoon. Now, let's continue, I want Kate to be part of the young avengers too - he said and we all gasped, including Kate - Why are you surprised? You already knew - he told Kate

- Ah, yes, true, I have to get used to it - she said laughing a little

- Are you telling me that you want the girl who stole your suit to join something as important as the Young Avengers? They will be the ones to continue our legacy, are you sure you want her to follow it? - asked Tony

- I'm sure - he replied

And that's where I ended up jumping

- Are you telling me that you want a girl you met a few hours ago to continue your legacy instead of your own daughter? - I yelled getting up from the chair in tears.

I was sick of him always doing this, it's like he thinks I'm not capable

- Lila - he started but I didn't let him finish

- No, I've had enough, if you don't see me capable of doing it just tell me, but don't tell me I'm better than you and then don't let me be an avenger - I said getting up from the chair

I went to my room and slammed the door shut.

I couldn't stand it when my father chose a person he had just met to follow his legacy and I couldn't.

Why couldn't she let me be an avenger? Nadya is an avenger and she is the same age as me

- Lila, can I come in? - I heard a voice from the door

- What do you want Yelena? - I asked opening the door.

- I don't know, talk, for example - she said sarcastically entering

- I don't want to talk - I said sitting on my bed

- Well, we stay here in silence - she said sitting next to me

- Has Nadya stayed downstairs? - I asked showing a little disappointment in my voice

- Yes, she wanted to come up to look for you but I told her to stay downstairs talking to Clint, and I told her to investigate a little about this Kate Bishop - she answered.

- Do you trust her? - asked

- I guess I have to learn to trust people a little more, but I trust my sister, if she says we can trust her, we can trust her. You just have to wait for her verdict - she answered and I agreed. I also trusted Nadya's instincts, if she said I could trust Kate, I can trust Kate. - Are you going to tell me why you ran away? - She asked me the question I was waiting for so much - I know it bothers you that Kate is going to follow your father's legacy, but how about you talk to him and see what you can do? You can both follow it, as Nadya and I are doing - she told me, and actually, it wouldn't be so bad if we both did it

- We can trust her - I heard a voice

- What? - Yelena asked, turning towards the door.

- Well, I still don't know if we can trust, but I know she's not bad, just an innocent girl who was saved by Hawkeye during the battle of New York - Nadya continued.

- Come - Yelena told her so she would come closer and sit on the bed - So you say that Kate was saved by Clint in the battle against Loki -

- Yes, apparently her house was destroyed by Loki and when the Chitari were going to kill her, Clint appeared and saved her, then her mother took her away, but her father didn't survive and well, that's the story she told me, to make sure I have investigated and it is true. I think that for the moment we can trust her, although I'll continue to be careful - she said - And I think that sharing your father's legacy with her wouldn't be a bad idea, she's not a bad archer, not as good as you, but she's good - she said smiling at me, which made me blush

That smile

- I guess, I could try, if you trust her, I guess I can trust her too. I'll talk to my father, but what if he doesn't agree? - I asked unsure

- Then he doesn't deserve that you follow his legacy, you create your own - Nadya answered me holding my hand

- Okay - I accepted - I'm going to talk to my father - I said getting out of bed like them

- Good luck - Yelena told me before leaving.

- Good luck - Nadya told me giving me a quick kiss on the mouth, which I did not expect at all

- What was that? - I asked, taking her by the waist, before she could leave my room.

- I don't know what you're talking about - she said laughing.

- To be a spy, you're very bad at disguising - I told her, lifting her in my arms and throwing her on the bed, to then climb on top of her. But noticing how she tensed under my touch, I immediately got off

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to me - she apologized, sitting down again

- No, no, you don't have to apologize, it was me, come here - I said opening my arms and leaning my back on the back of the bed

Nadya came up to me and snuggled into my arms.

- Seeing you on top of me like that reminded me of when I was in HYDRA and they climbed on top of me, I didn't want Lila to happen, I promise, but I couldn't do anything, they tied me to the table and they climbed on top of my legs, I didn't want to - she said crying uncontrollably - I didn't really want to, forgive me -

- Hey, you didn't do anything wrong, they did, you didn't, I'm here and they won't come near you again - I told her, drawing her closer to me, she put her head in the crook of my neck and continued crying, while I struggled not to cry, but I couldn't, my tears came out uncontrollably until they fell on Nadya's head

Why did they do this to her? She doesn't deserve it, neither she nor anyone

I moved her head so I could look into her eyes.

- You didn't do anything, you hear me? Nothing - I told her and she nodded - You can cry, you can scream, you can do whatever you want, except blame yourself, okay? - she nodded again - Say it, say it's not your fault - I ordered her

- It's not my fault - she said in a weak voice.

- That's it - I said, drawing her back to me and she hid her head in the crook of my neck again and I felt her tears on the skin of my neck.

We stayed like that for a while until Nadya's tears stopped.

- Better? - I asked her and she agreed without separating from me and I did not stop surrounding her with my arms

- Thank you - she said

- You have nothing to thank me for - I said giving her a kiss on the head

- You should go downstairs to talk to your father, by the way you could ask him if he knew about Ohio and Yelena - she said separating from me and I took the opportunity to kiss her on her nose and she wrinkled it blushing and smiling

I had managed to get a smile even though her face is full of tears, I brought my hands up to her face and with my thumbs I wiped that beautiful face

- I love you baby - I told her.

- And I love you Malyshka - she told me and I looked at her confused, she had never called me that before

- What does that mean? - I asked

- You will have to find out - she answered me with a beautiful smile, and she got up running

- Hey, come back here - I called running after her

Down the hall, I ran into Yelena who was talking to Kate, and she seemed very comfortable with her.

- Hey, Nadya come - I called her to come closer

- Yes, I'm seeing it, come here, she won't see us - she said, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards her - When I said she could trust her, I didn't mean that - she said pointing at them

- You can get out of there - Yelena called us looking towards where we were

I obeyed and went out, but Nadya did not. I looked to where we were before, and she had disappeared

- In these moments I regret telling you that I love you Nadya - I murmured

- What were you doing spying on us? - she asked crossing his arms.

- I'm sorry - I said before running away, while I was escaping I heard Yelena's laugh

- Why did you do that? - I asked when I got to the kitchen where Nadya was taking a cup from the kitchen cabinet

- Do what? - She asked turning to me.

- Leaving me alone when Yelena has caught us - I told her

- I don't know what you're talking about - she said with a small smile.

- It's not funny Nadya - I said frustrated

Then she started laughing, even though I was angry, that sound still made me smile

She approached me and put her arms around my shoulders and I put mine around her waist.

- Are you going to talk to your father? - she asked and I nodded.

- I'm going to talk to him now - I said and now she was the one who nodded

- Do you want me to go with you, or are you going alone? - I wonder

- Can you be there, at least outside the door? If he doesn't accept, at least you can be there -

- Of course -

We went to my father's room, where he was talking to my mother.

- No, I don't want her to get involved in this, it's dangerous, I don't want anything to happen to her - she was saying

- I know, but you can't always protect her from everything - I heard my mother, my father had the speaker connected so he could hear both sides of the conversation

- I guess you're right there - replied my father.

- Of course I am, honey -

- Nadya, Lila - he said when he turned and saw us

- Can we talk, dad? - I asked for

- Yes, of course, we can talk whenever you want - he answered - we'll talk later, Laura -

- Okay - she replied before hanging up.

- I want to be an avenger, dad - I said going directly to the point

- I know, but it's dangerous, honey -

- Nadya is the same age as me, and she's going to be part of the "Young Avengers" -

- Nadya has been training all her life, besides, if she wants to be part of it, I am nobody who can stop her, I am not her father - he told me, but he would not accept "no" for an answer.

- Dad, please, I want to continue your legacy, please -

- Well, you will train with them, but you will not go on missions yet, okay? - accepted my father

- really? - I said very excited

- Yes, I always knew that I would be a good avenger, and your auntie knew it too - she said, looking down at the ground when she remembered Nat

- Did you know about Ohio? - I asked

- She told me a part when she came home for the first time, when your mother was pregnant with you, and she told me the rest when she came back from Russia - he replied - I expected them to come when they found out about her death, when I told you that she was going to missions, what I did was go to Russia to look for them, but they're like Nat, if they don't want to be found, they're not found -

- That's true - I gave him the reason

- You love her very much, don't you? - he told me and I blushed

- Yes, now I understand why I have never really liked my high school boyfriends - I replied and he laughed

- They weren't enough for you, but I know she was, but if she hurts you, don't hesitate to tell me, and don't hurt her either, she's a good girl and she's suffered enough - she told me

- I won't hurt her, I promise, dad - I replied, giving him a hug and leaving the room.

Now I was an avenger
