His Little Pet

A Shadow Seen In New Light

Shadow pov

I'm sitting in the common room with all the Avengers, it was a chill day and everyone was doing their own thing. Master and Sir Thor had to go to Asgard to help with peace treaties and he left me here for safety. 

I was leaning on Steve while Tony sat on the other end absentmindedly rubbing my legs. I was still scared of everyone but I was put here so I didn't dare move. Suddenly the elevator opened and out stepped Faury with five men behind him.

"Good, we don't have to look."

I had a painfully bad feeling.

"Um first what are you doing here, and second what are you talking about?"

Steve was the one to question him as I just wanted to hide, I did not like the look of all those men behind him.

"You see Roger, with Loki and Thor away S.H.I.L.D is going to take in the girl for some testing."

I shot up at his words only to curl in on myself as the men behind him pull out guns.

"Shadow but make this difficult and just come with us. I was shaking now, I had no way to stop them, Master was gone, Sir Thor too, I don't want to I know they'll hurt me.

"Over my dead body Fury!"

I look over and see Tony is now standing, a look of rage in his eyes.

"That can be arranged Stark."

I watch as Steve stands up and gets in front of me.

"Fury, with all, do respect we refuse to let you take her."

I was shocked, this man was their boss yet they were defending me.

"And you'll have to get past me and the big guy since she is under our watch."

I look behind me to see Bruce leaning over the couch, ready to grab me if need be.

"I will not let you hinder us in our research, you may be fooled but we need proof."

I was crying now, I didn't want to go with them. I'm sorry director Fury but we must interfere with your current mission. I look down the hall to see Clint and Nat enter the room, and they look pissed.

"I have seen plenty of proof to tell me she means no harm, but we do."

The one eye man looks around at everyone and lets out a sigh.

"Fine, but if she does anything I won't let you stop me again."

Then he and his men left. I look around as everyone turned and hugged me.

"Thank you, thank you all so much!"

I gave them my most sincere smile. Everyone ran and gave me a huge group hug, telling me words of encouragement and comfort.

"This is so sweet I might start throwing up rainbows."

We all look to see Clint was still leaning on the was.

"Shut up and join us, Barton"

He gave a smirk as he and Nat joined us. We sat like this for a long time, just hugging and crying, but then Tony stood up.

"Now no more tears, let's have some fun."

He walks over to the wall and presses a button before turning back to use.

"Now I'm going to play music, and you all are going to dance stupidly to it!"

And with that music began to play as Tony did just as he said. Quickly everyone was up and dancing and I was in the middle going crazy. I was filled with so much joy, they really did care about me. 

Later that day Master and Sir Thor came home and joined in the fun. at that moment, I felt like I finally had a family, like I was truly loved. I finally had a home.
