Chapter 1: Meeting Captain America

MADELINE

I'm out of breath but I keep fighting. I'm using my last remaining energy as I kick a robot in the face with a back kick. As another one charges at me, Peter comes flying out of nowhere.

"You okay?" He yells, flying past me, his webbing holding him in the air. 

I manage to yell back, "Yeah just... a little out of breath at this point!"

"I FEEL YA!" he yells as he continues to fly through the air.

Even my powers are getting limited now, my stamina was not prepared for this kind of battle and as I launch an energy attack towards, what seems like, a never ending parade of robots, it only does half the damage I know it could.

The robots come charging at me and I know it's over. 

There's no way I can win now.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Great job kids," Tony Stark's voice soars through the speakers and all robots freeze in motion.

The training facility lights come back on and everything goes back to normal. The robots stand up, turn around and walk away like nothing happened.

Even the ones I thought I had done significant damage to.

Tony Stark walks down the big staircase from the glass box up top and finally reaches us on the training floor.

"That was good work you guys. You're really improving. We're reaching the highest levels my training bots can muster up and you put up a good fight."

I look up at him, a bit confused as I felt this session was a giant failure. I lost my energy way faster than normal.

Before I can speak, Peter interrupts him.

"Thank you, Mr. Stark. I really appreciate that. I've been working on increasing my stamina."

Damn it Peter. 

Why do you always have to be such a perfect fucking student? I should have been doing that too. It was obvious today I wasn't at my best.

As I sit on the training floor looking at my hands in disappointment, Tony Stark addresses me.

"Madeline, stop being hard on yourself. You did great. You're becoming more in control of your powers every day and with a little more training your martial arts will improve immensely as well."

I look up at the hero before me and I blush. "Thank you, Mr. Stark. But I do feel I haven't been improving as much lately..."

As I drag my sentence out, he observes my face.

He then looks away and after a second of thinking, looks back at me and says "I know. That's why I want to move you in to the Avengers compound permanently so we can train you every day instead of these sporadic trainings. You have been doing well in the early stages of recruitment, Madeline, and I think moving you into the compound would be the natural next step. That is, if you still want to become an Avenger, of course."

I look at him in disbelief. 

Did Tony Stark just say I should move in with the Avengers? 

I can't believe it.

Before I can even think straight I hear Peter's voice.

"But Mr. Stark, what about me? You know this is what I want and I feel I am more than ready!"

I look over at Peter. He's not wrong - he has been doing a great job and considering we've been training together for so long I wouldn't be surprised if he was offered the same.
