16 : Home

I was sitting in front of the TV while the news was on, my brother and his team were being reported on as they battled robots in Sokovia. Of course since Sokovia is a distance away and I had no idea this battle happened I am watching is a rerun.

The real events happened yesterday and I still haven't had any calls or texts from Tony. Nothing...not even from the anonymous number and the only thing I could find comfort in was a pillow.

Logan unfortunately had to go back to work yesterday which left me alone, but that sort of helped me since it was the time of the month where Scream thought my liver looked tasty.

He's texted and called on his breaks or whenever he is free and told me he would be back soon but he has no idea when and that he misses me. I miss him too and I keep repeating those three words he said to me a couple days ago. 'I love you'

I do hope I hear them again, but I know how reserved he is with those words. I wish I knew what happened to make him fear love... Maybe one day he will tell me.

I turned off the TV when the final scenes of the report ended and leaned back on the couch.

{He's fine, Elisa.} Scream tried to comfort me.

"If he is fine than why haven't I heard from him?" My phone dinged and as if Tony was listening I received a text from him.

Brother | Home |

I bolted out of my seat and ran to my bedroom, changed into an outfit then ran back into the living room and picked up my keys, phone, and wallet, with the help of Scream, then ran outside the door.

Down the stairs and into the sidewalk where I waved down a taxi and got in. "Avengers T-."(Where is home?)"Hold on." I pulled out my phone.

| Tower or Compound? |

Tony | Compound |

| On my way |

I looked to the driver. "The Avengers new compound please." The driver nodded and drove into the road as I put my seatbelt on. .  .  . 

Getting passed the gate was a little difficult but a good word from the owner of the place and I was allowed through. When he pulled up to the front doors I payed and got out of the car, obviously.

Into the building and up the stairs to see the most tired people I've ever seen in my life, obviously the Avengers but there was three new people I've never seen before. Plus James Rhodes

"There she is." Tony stood up and walked to me.

(Tony. Thank god he's alright.)I walked to him and gave him a hug. "You are horrible at communicating." I let him go and looked over him. "Are you alright?"

Tony rolled his eyes. "I'm fine, fidget." He stopped the conversation of worry and turned to the group. (Does he even care about me knowing he's alright?) "I finally created the A.I... Of sorts." He motioned to a red man.

The man nodded slightly. "Hello, Miss Stark."

My eyes widened. "Isn't that Jarvis's voice?" I turned to Tony, he nodded. "At least you did something right for once."

"Hey." Tony huffed.

I smiled and looked at the other two. "Who...?"

One disappeared and reappeared in front of me. "I'm Pietro." He lifted my hand and kissed my knuckles.

(I have a boyfriend.)"Um... Hi." I took my hand back.

Pietro looked over me. "I see the beauty genes skipped a child." He smirked at my brother.

"Alright." Tony shooed him off. "Sorry, kid. She's off limits." Pietro winked at me and zoomed away. "That's Wanda." Tony motioned to the woman. "Pietro twin."

I smiled softly and waved. "Hello." She nodded, I looked back at Tony. "It's been a month Tony."

Tony rolled his eyes. "I thought we got passed this conversation." He walked back to his seat. "I couldn't call anyways because of Ultron."

(He's just like our parents.)I scoffed. "You do realize there is something called mail? You send a paper with writing through it."

Tony picked up his drink. "I didn't have time-."

"Bullshit." Everyone snapped there gaze at me, especially my brother who rarely ever hears me curse. "This is the fifth time you went off and almost died and you can't have a conversation with me?"

Tony sighed. "Elisa." He said in a dismissive way.

My lips pressed together. "You are just like mother and father."

Tonya brows furrowed. "Excuse me?"

"Every time they went somewhere they never sent word back and we both worried about them."

"That's not the same-."

"No it's not." I snapped. "With you I know you are in life threatening danger. I see it on the news, I watch you get hurt." Tony frowned, I calmed myself down as much as I could. "You are the only family I have left, Tony. The least you can do is let me know you are safe since you refuse to let me into your life." I exasperated, I was on the verge of tears when my phone dinged.

I took it out and looked at the screen.

Logan | Are you home? |

My emotions immediately calmed down and I opened my messaging app.

Me | No. Are you coming over? |

"Who are you texting?" Tony stood up.

I looked at him. "None of your business." I looked back down when there was another text.

Logan | Would you like me to? |

Me | I think I need you. If you are free |

"Elisa." Tony broke me out of my happy thoughts.

I looked up at him. "I'm 33 if you forgot, Tony. I'm not the 9 year old child who you were burdened with." I looked around. "I'm sorry you had to see family drama after a hard month and I hope you all are healthy and were not harmed during the fight." I glanced at Tony and walked to the door.

I did catch the knowing looks Nat and Thor were giving Loki.

Loki having a believable illusion of the phone in his hand looking like a drinking glass as he types away with his one thumb.

Logan | I'll be there when I get off work. |

Me | I can't wait. I miss you. |

Logan | I miss you too. |

When I finally got out of the complex building there was already a car waiting with Hogan in the driver seat.

I walked over and opened the passenger seat. "Hi."

"You two have an argument?" Hogan put the car in drive.

"Yea." I mumbled and put my seatbelt on. "Is he alright?"

"Yes. Only a little soreness but the suit did it's job." I nodded, Hogan glanced at me. "He's alright, Elisa. He has a hold team behind him."

"I'm glad I can found on others to watch out for him since he doesn't seem to care about what I feel."

"He's always been reserved and kept a strong facade. Don't take it personally."

I looked out the car window. "I try not to." My phone dinged.

Logan | I let myself in if that's alright. |

I smiled.

Me | Of course that's alright. I'll be there in a couple minutes. |

"Is that the guy your seeing?" Hogan questioned.

I looked up. "Yes. I really like him."

Hogan smiled softly. "I'm glad you found someone." He turned serious. "But please be careful. I did a search and couldn't find anything on him. I don't want you to get hurt."

I nodded with a smile. "Logan would never hurt me. Trust me with that." Hogan nodded. "And please don't tell Tony. Knowing him he will blow this out of proportion and..." I sighed. "I don't want to deal with an older brother who still thinks I am a child."

Hogan nodded. "I won't." I nodded and looked out the window. "I see this Logan has a good affect on you."

I turned back to him. "What do you mean?"

Hogan smiled slightly. "You aren't fidgeting as much."
