The morning after the chaotic events from yesterday the avengers plus the agents of shield had done a little sparring before they started their morning.
"So what are we planning to do with Adrianna?" Pepper asked if she had stayed to have breakfast with the team and Tony which wasn’t something she could do often.
Everyone except for Sam, Mack, and Yo-yo (who were making breakfast) looked at Natasha, "What?" Natasha said as she looked up from her Stark tablet where she was reading about a mission she would be going to soon.
"What's your plan with little Russia?" Tony said as he handed Pepper her mug of coffee the way she liked it, "Little Russia? Seriously Stark?" Maria looked unimpressed with the nickname as well as everyone else," What I was going to call her Mini Romanoff cause to me she looks a little like Natasha but that girl is a spitfire so Little Russia it is."
"She does not look like me. Second, I thought the plan was to put her in foster care." The second those words came out of her mouth Natasha had everyone disagreeing with her the biggest noise came from Fury and Daisy.
"We can't let her out unsupervised; she knows things. Government secrets, things about all of you." Fury said," Plus foster care isn't good and it's very damaging to a kid's mental health, absolutely not." Daisy hated foster care and would never put anyone in it.
"So what are we gonna do with her?" Steve asked, setting his newspaper down," You're going to keep her here until further notice. I'm trying to find agents who might be willing to take her in." Fury had already started the process but it was hard finding people he trusted who were willing to take in a child.
"And that's it. We’re just going to ship her off to some random buddies of yours? I think not." Tony objects to the idea with Fury's track recorded and his trust in people no one blamed Tony they weren't too fond of the idea anyway.
"Why don't we send her to live with Clint?" Bobbi proposed Adrianna wasn't any danger to anyone plus Clint was someone they always trusted.
"Clint has his hands full with Nate." Natasha dismissed the idea," So Little Russia is going to be staying here until further notice it seems." Tony said since they all couldn't agree on where to send Adrianna.
When Adrianna woke up she felt a dull pain in her wrist and when she pulled the sleeve up of the long sleeve shield shirt and saw that the skin of her wrist was peeling back she guessed those handcuffs were tighter than she thought.
When she got off the bed she found an array of clothes, probably Lila Barton. They didn’t have tags on them so she knew they weren’t new but they weren’t worn out either. Before she could get dressed she made her way to the bathroom.
When she got out of the bathroom she laid out all of the clothes. When she liked to get dressed she wanted to look at her options. It was good to look at the bigger picture and she finally had an outfit that did go with the black timbs.
After asking Friday what the weather would look like she was extra sure about her outfit but not her hair since she didn’t have any of her hair products with her. But the long sleeve gray shirt and the denim faded dress overalls went well and all indeed was a French beret and it would be perfect.
When she got to the common room she made her way towards the kitchen hoping she would find the Avengers and her things. Luckily she didn’t need to see any of them since her stuff was in the living room and no one was around so she just took the things she needed to do her hair and went to find a bathroom.
“Oh, you’re up.” Wanda told Adrianna who was standing out of the bathroom she had just come out of,” Yeah. Can you do me a favor and get a phone that's in my bag by the loveseat?” Adrianna asked Wanda as she set everything on the counter and hopped on the counter when she saw Wanda nod she added,” Front pocket of the bag. You know what just brings the whole thing.” Adrianna said when she realized she would need more than just her phone.
It took Wanda just a minute to come back with the bookbag and Adrianna had already started wetting her hair and getting ready to moisturize it,’’ Thanks. You can stay if you want.” Adrianna offered Wanda when she saw the girl awkwardly standing in the middle of the bathroom,” What are you doing?” Wanda asked to get closer and Adrianna turned around and looked at her like she had lost her mind.
“Oh, you're white! You don’t understand.” Adrianna turned back the mirror and started parting her hair,” How’s it going with all of them?” Adrianna inclined her head towards the bathroom door and Wanda understood she meant the Avengers,” They’ve been treating me better ever since they found out the truth about my age.” Wanda confessed as she played with her hands she felt guilty for her thoughts about thinking Adrianna was the enemy.
“I’m sor-” But before Wanda could finish her apology Adrianna cut her off,” No I don’t care about your apology Wanda. If you apologize it means you doubted me and rather not think about how you wanted to kill me yesterday.”
The room was silent after that until Adriana decided to play music. There were no hard feelings with Wanda, at least she didn't want there to be,” We need some music. We'll need music.” The room was filled with the sound of music Wanda had never heard before but music Adrianna was familiar with by the way she lip sang the song.
They had left the bathroom approximately 45 minutes after they entered Adrianna was done with her hair she was wearing a scarf she still felt an awkward tension between her and Wanda not that she was radiating it was Wanda. Adrianna thinks that she doesn’t know how to interact with people and that they make her feel uneasy sometimes especially if she caused the person harm.
“Is breakfast done?” Adrianna didn’t direct the question to anyone in particular and she knew it may have come across rude, especially by the way Wanda was looking at everyone at the table nervously,” Well good morning to you too. Yes, we slept well.” Hunter replied, taking a sip of his coffee. Rolling her eyes, Adrianna went to the living room where she got her other phone.
When she came back the food was already put on the table and everyone was seated. She, like the other night, was sitting next to Wanda, and Daisy, Jemma, and Fitz were to her left. Once everyone was seated May stood up and poured herself some juice. Her glass was the only empty one,” A peace offering. I missed judge you and I’m sorry for that.” May handed Adrianna the cup expecting her to take a drink,” Okay.” Adrianna placed the cup down and started eating. When it was obvious that she wasn’t going to take a sip from the juice, May returned to her seat.
Unlike yesterday's food, this one was good,” Why haven’t you touched your juice? Aren’t you thirsty?” Bobbi questioned when Adrianna hadn’t picked up the drink,” I'd rather not get poisoned.” Adrianna took out her drink she wasn't stupid far from it,” What are you talking about? No one is trying to poison you.” Pepper hadn’t understood where Adrianna was coming from; they had all agreed that she was innocent and not a danger to anyone.
“You had someone deliver a new carton of apple juice. May opened it and dumped whatever sedative in it. The plan is to poke and prod me by Fitzsimmons. Daisy is supposed to look for my records. Coulson, May, Fury, Hill, and Romanoff are going to look at the recording from yesterday to see if anything is off. See if I slip. Everyone else is supposed to look through my bags to see if they get a clue. You 3 just weren’t invited to the meeting.” Adrianna pointed to Wanda, Tony, and Pepper.
“Impressive for someone who doesn’t have training.” Fury was leaning back in his chair watching Adrianna intensely,” No just someone with a lot of trust issues who wouldn’t believe a word that comes out of anyone's mouth on this table considering the things I’ve watched.”
The shrill ring of Adrianna's phone caused everyone to look at it,” I thought you said no one could call her?” Fury looked at Stark,” I never said that to her,” Tony pointed to Adrianna whose gaze was looking at her phone in confusion,” Said that, and I went with it because there was no possible way that she could communicate with anyone. So either you're lying or this is some miracle.” Tony shrugged and went back to eat his food. He wasn't a scientist, he was an engineer and he had just some knowledge of science.
