Roman was sitting in a chair in the Avengers HQ waiting for the kids that broke inside to start talking. "Start talking" Roman uttered glancing at her watch. The three kids stood around Roman and flashed a light directly in her eyes threateningly, "Are you Roman Juliet Santiago?" the redhead girl stood in front of Roman her arms folded clearly she was annoyed.
"Yes, I am how do you know my name?" Roman questioned as the girl rolled her eyes, "We are the ones asking questions here" Roman body slouched as she raised an eyebrow standing up from her seat. "I know that you aren't talking to me like that" Roman folded her arms.
The redhead girl just tapped her feet against the ground as Roman eyes shined a bright emerald green before the three of them were pushed back into three chairs that were pulled from the kitchen table. "Respect your elders" Roman stated as her eyes dimmed down to their natural color.
"We're sorry about her" the boy with the bob cut from earlier apologized while staring at his sister, "You see we have been looking for you, for years" he explained as Roman put her hands on her waist waiting for a proper explanation. "We know you escaped from St. Mugo's laboratory in Russia" the quiet girl on the right chatted.
Roman's face turned stoic at the mention of her past. "What are you doing here! who sent you?" Roman asked them her eyes occasionally flickering around the tower. "You misunderstand we also come from the laboratory" the boy butted in waving his hand awkwardly.
"There is a chance you could be our sister/mother" the boy explained a twinkle in his eyes as Roman face scrunched up in confusion as her hands dropped from her waist. "We were created in St. Mugo's laboratory and were morphed using your DNA and blood sample" the boy replied to help Roman understand more.
"No, that's not possible, a fire encased St. Mugo's and everything burned to ash. . ." Roman trailed off as a shiver ran up her spine and the mention of the laboratory. "We don't know how or why but we survived the flames and landed safely somewhere close by"
"Hold on slow your horses! I ran away from St. Mugo's so how could you have found me?" Roman responded as the boy in front of her scratched his neck sheepishly with a small grin on his face. "You see. . . we dug deep into your past including hacking into SHIELD"
Roman's eyes widened in shock, "How did you hack into SHIELD their security is tight?" Roman was bewildered to know that an eleven-year-old or twelve hacked into SHIELD the toughest firewall in the world. "I could hack into SHIELD in my sleep" the boy gloated.
Roman wanted to open her mouth and speak but she was speechless, "What is guardian's number?" Roman finally spoke up whipping out her phone ready to call, "We have no guardian we've been living on our own" the redhead girl stopped Roman from dialing any number on the phone.
The elevator doors to the tower opened revealing, Wanda and Clint. "Wanda, Clint what are you two doing here?" Roman asked happy to see Clint again. " Disappointing my kids. I'm supposed to go water-skiing. Cap needs our help. Come on." Clint said as Roman stopped dead in her tracks.
"Who are these kids?" Wanda asked pointing at the three kids seated in chairs in front of Roman, ". . .They broke into headquarters and hacked into SHIELD" Roman hesitated thinking that Clint and Wanda wouldn't believe her. "Good joke" Clint laughed but paused seeing the serious expression on her face.
"Stay here we'll finish talking when I get back" Roman pointed a finger to the kids with a stern expression resting on her face. "Oh, and don't break anything nor touch!" Roman shouted before she left into the elevator with Clint and Wanda.
She's definitely not ready to tell the team about her past and that'll stay that way until she's ready.
