me and steve walked into the living room of the compound. currently residing in the open plan living area was tony, bruce. clint and natasha all sat around having coffee. peter and bucky were both presumably still asleep, another reason they made a perfect pair for cardio, and thor was off world.
"guess who me and stevie got to meet before you suckers" i said approaching the coffee pot
"god there are just so many options to pick from"tony said sarcastically
"you guys met rosie"nat said with was that a smile? surely not
"indeed we did"
"well what'd think, first impressions"natasha replied
"i mean i could see where wanda was coming from with 'messy' person"
"i hate to agree with sam, but she definitely didn't appear organised. had the coolest hair though"
"its awesome isn't it, the blonde thick curls. very pretty"natasha replied
"i also got the impression her and wanda are more than friends"to which i recieved quite pointed looks from everyone minus natasha, who i guess already noticed to.
"right well, i'm looking forward to meeting her" bruce said to fill an increasingly awkward silence. i sat down with a cup of coffee across nat.
"so far me and stevies here cardios going great, what about the rest of yous..." and with that we continued talking, growing anticipation to get to talk to the mysterious golden hair girl more

i approached the end of my lap, finally sitting on the grass by the track to stop. i saw rosie run a final lap before sitting down next to me as i tried to catch my breath. "holy crap how many laps did you just run"
"i dont know but that was so fun" i looked at her as if she was a complete psycho "i like running okay, i know its weird"
"hey its not weird, just not sure how you could like it in those warn down shoes" i said with a snicker. "tony's a billionaire, he'd buy you a new pair if you ask" i said to the blonde girl, who was seemingly barely breaking a sweat next to me
"i haven't even met this man, i'm not gonna ask him for a pair of trainers (i'm british so whenever i say trainers i'm talking about sneakers or like running shoes) i'll add them to my birthday list" she responded
"when is your birthday"
"ummm....two weeks wednesday...i. think? all i know is its the 31st of june"
"that would be two weeks on tuesday"
"right got ya"she then stood up, extending an arm to help me up "come on, i guess its time for me to meet the rest of the avengers, wait is bruce banner going to be there? if so i may faint. be prepared to catch me" she said with a smile causing me to laugh whilst being pulled off the grass. we then walked slowly, finishing out bottles of water on the way to the entrance of the compound. i couldn't help but notice her water bottle, which looked like she had had it since childhood. as we stepped into the entrance of the compound, it seemed that friday already recognised rosie "welcome back from your run ms.maximofff, welcome to the compound ms.robertson" rosie suddenly jumped grabbing my arm and looking very confused
"okay, what was that?"
"that would be tony's ai, friday" she suddenly turned around facing me with a smile creeping onto her lips
"this place is ran by an ai, that's so flipping cool"i found rosies genuine excitement incredibly cute.
"yup very cool, and your not at all nerdy, now come on they're probably all in the kitchen". with that we walked to the kitchen, both of us practically silent, natasha and peter being the only ones who saw us enter. "BOO!" i shout hoping to scare the avengers. they all flinch slightly before turning to us and smiling.

"hello, i am rosie robertson" rosie said to the occupants of the room with a smile. all the avengers were sat around -minus thor- whilst nat and sam prepared what looked like eggs, vegetables and a weird green liquid.
"hi rosey, its nice to meet you" bruce said, giving her a soft smile
"nice to meet you rosie" clint added, i quickly whispered to rosie "tony can be a tad eccentric, dont be too alarmed" to which she whispered back "i'll try my best" and smiled up at me

"hi rosey"tony said briefly before continuing with a series of questions "so rosie i have some questions... living relatives? living situation? how smart actually are you? do you like science, engineering etc.? do you want to join me and parker in the lab later? and i thought you guys were running, where's the sweat?" rosie seemed to take a brief second to process the questions thrown at her before answering "umm hi tony i'm gonna assume...nice to meet you. okay answer time 1. no 2.cozy apartment in queens, couple of blocks from peter 3.i've never taken an iq test but i have practically perfect grades, an eidetic memory and can read 20000 words a minute 4.love science, prefer chemistry and biology"she turned to bruce "huge fan of your work by the way. so so so cool and i mean 7phds that's awesome" she then turned back to tony, leaving bruce smiling as a result of her comments "5.i would love to join you and peter in the lab later as after i told my boss about my uncle he gave me a couple days leave and 6. we did run i just dont sweat. stamina of steal."she finished with a smile
"okay wanda, how much she'd really run" clint said looking at me
"i'd say i'd managed to run 6 or 7 laps and she must of lapped me 5 times each lap. it was so insane and i reckon she could give steve a run for his money" clint and rosey both laughed at my pun
"ooo we should place bets"sam added
"what?!" steve and rosie exclaimed simultaneously.
"5 lap race, whoever's faster wins"sam continued. "please"he gave them both puppy dog eyes, the rest of the table following suit

10 minutes late

everyone was stood around the track after both steve and rosie gave in to our pleas.
"hey steve whichever way the table turns, no hard feelings?"rosie asked nervously as the stood on the tracks. rosie had given steve the innermost lane and taken the third one herself, similar to our set up earlier. currently the bets were: clint, bucky, sam and tony having 50 dollars on steve winning whilst nat, peter, bruce and i had 50 dollars on rosie.
"no hard feelings whatsoever rosie." to that she looked up at him and smiled whilst readying herself.
"3..." sam started
"2..."clint continued
"1..."tony added
"GO!"natasha stated, and with that they both took off flying down the tracks. steve finished his first lap, but rosie was already half way through her third. at this point steve continued running, but couldn't stop looking at the girl and the speed she was travelling. as steve was about to finish his second lap, rosie overtook him for the final time as she had just won the race. steve stopped and took a second to catch his breath. rosie was already at his side handing him his water bottle.
"holy shit" tony,clint and sam said simultaneously in an almost whisper as steve and rosie approached us. both looked as happy and cheery as ever. neither wanted to do this, but were good sports about it. the group of people betting on them however, not so much.

because there was 4 people betting against 4 people, all of the rosie supporters were getting 50 dollars each. i recieved mine from bucky, with no qualms and bruce recieved his from sam. there was some arguing before clint reluctantly handed his money to peter. however tony was being less cooperative
"GIVE ME MY FUCKING MONEY STARK"natasha declared
"YOUR GUY CHEATED"
"THEYRE BOTH LAB EXPERIMENTS" she quickly turned to rosie and steve, who had been simply watching this go down "no offence" they both shrugged without a care for natashas comment. "ITS NOT MY FAULT IF MY GUYS EXPERIMENT WAS MORE SUCCESFUL" at this point everyone, including rosie and steve, not including nat and tony were struggling to contain laughter. starks entire line of argument didn't make sense, not to mention the fact he was a billionaire, but this didn't stop him trying
"NO I DONT CARE, IM NOT GIVING YOU MY MONEY" at this comment natasha slid a knife from up her sleeve and in one swift movement was standing behind stark with the knife pressed against his neck
"gonna give me my money now" and whilst natasha was still holding him, tony pulled out a 50 dollar note from his wallet and handed it to her. this caused her to finally release him "now was that so hard" she said mockingly, and with that we all erupted in laughter, minus rosie who i didn't think wanted to offend stark and was just looking at her shoes cautiously.
"okay now that this is all settles, lets all go and grab some food" steve said with his voice loud enough to be heard over the small conversations.
