Chapter 3; The Laws of Power

THE FEMININE TEEN sat quietly, a blank and apathetic look on her face. Scratches and bruises all over.

Her hands cuffed tight, though not bothering to give it a thought as mere silence was all her ears could detect.

A single flash of a white illumination had shunned her eyes, the sides of her wrist feeling a freezing sensation as it rested on the cold metal surface.

The Avengers watched the monitor closely and intensively. It was like playing chess, just waiting for the opponent to make their next move.

A sound of a pin drop could probably be the loudest thing you could hear. Other than that, It was total silence.

"So..." Steve starts, breaking the quiet aura that had surrounded them, "What's our play?"

"You're the boss," Clint shrugged before turning to his right, "Are you guys joining?"

"Me and Shrek over here got something to do." Tony vouches as he points at Banner. "Plus, we can't afford a code green."

"I- Yeah, you may never know," Banner murmurs, quirking a brow over at Thor. "How about you?"

"I don't think I am of significant presence in a situation like this," Thor replies, rubbing his arm. "Perhaps we leave it to the professionals?"

Steve nods in agreement. "So we got Hill, Barton, Natasha, and Y/N then?"

"I'm undecided." Everyone's head whipped from the voice, all eyes landing on Y/N. His head laid flat on Natasha's lap, who started to rake his hair at a comforting pace. Air releasing through his nose, a tired one. "I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to handle any mind games for today."

"He's too exhausted," Natasha added, slowly stroking the strands of his hair. A smooth brush of her finger caused him to soothe as it lingered. "Just give him a bit of rest."

"Aw. Thank you for that, sunshine." Y/N cooed, a smug grin plastered on his lips. "It's nice to see someone cares."

"It's not that I care. It's more like... no one really does, I included."

"Oh, so comforting," Y/N replied sarcastically. "And I thought we were having a moment."

Natasha scoffs.

"Were we having a moment?"

"Don't act like you didn't."

Natasha flipped him off.

But ignoring the thought as she continued to play around with his H/C hair.

Everyone else just watched the pair in mere amusement.

'So cute.' Clint thought.

"Right, I'm gonna start it off," Steve announces as he slowly places his earpiece. "You guys can decide how you can play it out after... if I don't get anything."

"You sure you got this, Cap?" Hill inquires, "I didn't know you could interrogate. Do you even have experience?"

"Trust me. I'm just gonna go old school on this one..." He assured.

"Why did you do it?" Steve immediately asks, causing everyone to slap their own foreheads.

The teen quirks an eyebrow, an amused look.
