A little talk from Lexi
Dr. Cho: Good morning James, I see that Lexi is still asleep
James: oh no, she is just ignoring me, she is angry that I finished all the juice
Dr. Cho: I thought that after what happened you would not fight anymore
Lexi: We are siblings, it is in our nature to argue with each other
Dr. Cho: Everything seems to indicate that you are recovering quickly, you can probably move with Fury tomorrow
Lexi: is there a way we can stay here?
Dr. Cho was surprised at the request of the redhead, from her experience everyone hated the medical area and at the slightest opportunity they go away, did the boys not want to see their other friends?
James: please, we promise to behave well, we can help you with the inventory
Dr. Cho: This is not a request that I usually have, may I ask what it is?
Lexi: oh it's very simple, we know our friends and we know that they are about to make Fury pull them from the helicarrier, yes, it is preferable not to be part of it, my body is still not recovered enough to withstand such a fall
James: Lexi ... even if your body was recovered you would not survive a fall
Lexi: you don't know that!
Dr. Cho: Sorry guys, but there are Fury's orders, until the Avengers are able to coexist with each other, Fury will not entrust them with your custody
James: Maybe we can help with that.
Dr. Cho: I don't know, they're not supposed to talk to you
Lexi: come on, at least let us try, think of Fury you would really do him a favor he can be as angry as he wants, but he will not be able to handle all of us, believe me he has tried before
Dr. Cho: but he will come for you first thing in the morning, you don't have much time
James: Lexi will go with the iron man team and I will go with the Captain America team
Lexi: I agree
James: I thought you would refute my decision
Lexi: do you want a fight? because if I go with the Cap team you know that will happen
Dr. Cho: ok, but it will be in the medical area, we will move James to another room since he is the one who has recovered the most
James: I am stronger than your Lexi
Lexi: you wish
As the doctor promised, she prepared a room for James as far away from her sister's so that the 2 superhero teams would not have to bump into each other, even though they all lived in the same place now, no one had spoken to each other except for Scott who used to hide away from the others, the poor man was miserable in an unknown place and with people who hated each other.
Once the rooms were ready, she asked Friday to communicate the boys' directions to the Avengers.
Lexi's room
Lexi: Very well, I didn't think you would all come, but it's good to have you here
Tony, Vision, Rhodey, Pepper, Natasha, Thor and Bruce had settled in front of the little girl's bed in a couple of chairs that the doctor had brought for them.
Lexi: ok, I'll explain the situation, all my friends have left, apparently Fury has decided to play babysitter, which let me tell you, it's a horrible decision. James and I are leaving early tomorrow
Tony: but ...
Lexi: shh it's my turn to speak, as I was saying we will also leave unless you settle your differences with the Captain and his friends.
Rhodey: I understand that it's your father, but ...
Lexi: what's wrong with you??? That man is not my father, are you crazy? ... sorry, I got mad, I understand that everyone is very hurt by the situation, but let's be honest, what hurts you the most is your damn ego! You are a family and now by the destiny you are my family too, believe me this may not be the only time that you are going to meet on separate sides but every time you do you always lose and do you know why that is? Because you are better united. Tony, Rogers hurt you and I know, I was there and I saw how you were, in your defense it was 2 against one, but you must admit that you let yourself be carried away by all those emotions derived from the death of your parents, but deep down you know that he did not take the decision to do it, I know what it is not to have free will and believe me I do not recommend it is the worst. Vision I know that Wanda is a bad person and the reason that her departure hurt so much is because you are beginning to experience much more human sensations, give her a second chance, believe me you may be surprised, just please keep her away from me we are not very friends in my world, I don't think it's different here. Rhodey you are the most mature person in this room I really don't think I have to tell you something that you surely already know. Pepper I already know that you are not ready to let go of all those feelings, I understand more than you can imagine, I only ask you to ignore them until you are ready, all of us will keep you distracted enough so that you do not think about them.
Tony: Of what ...?
Lexi: Tony, I love you so much, but I'll hit you with my IV if you interrupt me again. Thor and Bruce came to find a broken team, but I know that with their intelligence and enthusiasm they will bring them together again, I trust you.
Thor: I learned a lot of things the last few months, one of them was forgiveness and valuing the people next to you
Tony: Why can Thor speak and is not scolded?
A pillow was shot to Tony's face with such force that he fell from his chair
Lexi: I warned you
Tony: you said it would be intravenous
Lexi: and that Dr. Cho scolds me, that will not happen
Tony: next time you can throw the pudding at me, I'm hungry
Pepper: Tony ...
Lexi: I've been eating hospital food all last week, does someone has a hamburger for this poor girl?
Thor: it will be an honor to bring you a hamburger
Lexi: here and in the other world you are definitely one of my favorite uncles
Tony: Hey, I can also bring hamburgers
Lexi: even for team Cap
Tony: Okay ... but if there is a hamburger war it will be your fault
Lexi: I can handle it, and the others?
They all nodded
Lexi: great I thought this would be more difficult, now can you give me a few moments with Romanoff
To this they all left the room leaving the two redheads inside, who exchanged glances for a long awkward moment while everyone moved away enough so that they both felt comfortable speaking.
Lexi: Will you go?
Natasha: where to?
Lexi: well considering that I will live here until Dr. Strange can return me to my dimension, I was wondering if you would stay here or leave as it seems that you are uncomfortable with my presence
Natasha: you are quite direct to be Steve's daughter
Lexi: I remind you that I am also your daughter, well from the other you
Natasha: I will not leave, unless you want me to leave
Lexi: I do not want you to go, look, I´m not asking you to be my mother, I know that is strange, but she is the one that I love the most in this world and to see in your face, the same face of her, and notice the indifference in the way that you look at me and how you keep all your emotions when I'm here, it hurts too much
Natasha: You remind me of what I can never have, every time I look at you I remember that I am not the Natasha of your world, and that I could never have a daughter like you
Lexi: I'm sorry to hear that, but I wouldn't lose faith if I were you, science moves very fast
Natasha: why do I feel that you know more about me than you let on?
Lexi: my mother tells me everything, we are very close, and you look a lot like her and not only in the way you look
Natasha: Am I a good mother?
Lexi: the best, you're even everyone's favorite aunt and look how many nephews you have
Both redheads started to laugh, exchanging data on both of them and trying not to feel so weird facing each other. Maybe Lexi was not his daughter, but while she was here Natasha would take care of her as if she were, a little happiness was better than nothing.
