Avenger's pov:

It was currently 3:10 pm and the team was starting to think the girl wouldn't show up. The Avengers were all sitting in the living room in their suits waiting for her to arrive. Tony was about to open his mouth to say that she wasn't coming when JARVIS's voice rang out.

"The Emerald Assassin has entered the building sir."

"Let's get this party started," said Tony clapping his hands together and standing up.

"JARVIS, can you tell us where she is?" said Steve who had also stood up.

"She has just entered the elevator, Mr. Rogers."

The Avengers stood around the elevator watching as the numbers went up. When the elevator finally reached the right level the doors remained closed and the lights around the room started flickering. Nat punched a button on the elevator and it slowly slid open. However, it was empty.

"JARVIS, where is she?" Nat called out.

"She is in the elevator, Miss. Romanoff."

Nat looked around the walls of the elevator.

"We know you're in here" she called out. There was a click of a gun and everyone spun around. There was a girl standing there pointing a gun right at Nat's head.

"Looking for me?" she asked with a smirk on her face. Tony stepped forward and her gun moved to point directly at him.

"I was starting to think you wouldn't show up," Tony said taking another step toward her, the aim of her gun stayed on Tony and she didn't flinch."

"I wasn't going to."

"What changed your mind?" Asked Bucky and she turned to face him, keeping her gun on Tony

"You have something of mine, I want it back," She said, simply turning her attention back to Tony.

"We just want to know a little about you, this doesn't have to turn into a fight," said Steve and the girl just looked him up and down before taking in the rest of them. She put her gun back into her belt and crossed her hands in front of her.

"Let's get this over with, I don't want to be here any longer than I have to," Ash said before turning around and settling herself down in one of the smaller couches. She crossed her legs and looked at the rest of them expectedly. The Avengers gave each other side glances before taking their original seats.

"Let's start with a round of introductions, shall we?" suggested Tony.

"I'm Steve Rogers."

"Bucky Barnes."

"Natasha Romanoff,"

"Tony Stark, obviously,"

"Sam Wilson,"

"Clint Barton,"

"Spider-man," said Peter, not wanting to give her his real identity. Her eyes lingered on him for a minute before turning to the next person.

"Wanda Maximoff,"

"Pietro Maximoff,"

The Avengers looked at the girl expectantly but she simply nodded.

"What's your name?" asked Clint.

"Where's Maya?" she asked, ignoring Clint's question.

"She's safe, now answer the question," Nat said, not taking her eyes off of the girl.

"I'll answer three of your questions if and only if, you let Maya go."

"That seems a little unfair on our part don't you think?" Tony said

"Of course it is, now do we have a deal?"

The Avengers looked at each other before Bucky stood quickly and walked until he was standing right in front of her. She didn't flinch. He stuck his metal hand out and she shook it.

"Now tell us your name" Nat demanded.

"Release her first," the girl said, keeping a calm voice.

"We aren't going to let her go until you talk," Said Steve sternly. The girl simply smirked, putting her hands behind her head and leaning back, she closed her eyes and relaxed. Tony sighed,

"JARVIS, please tell our guest to join us in the living room," Tony said out loud.

"She is on her way sir"  the AI responded. There was a silence in the room until the elevator opened and Maya walked out. When she spotted the girl sitting in the chair, she calmly walked over to her and sat at the edge of her couch nodding to the girl, the girl nodded back and turned to the Avengers.

"Ashlyn," she told them.

"What no last name?" Tony asked her.

"Nope" she responded calmly.

"How old are you kid?" asked Steve. Ashlyn glared at him but responded

"15,"

"Where did you learn to fight?" Clint asked.

"That's more than three questions," Ashlyn said as she smiled and stood up. She and Maya walked toward the elevator, only to be stopped by Nat.

"We said we'd let Maya go, we didn't say anything about you," Nat said and smirked. Ashlyn stared at her for a few seconds before sitting back down.

"What- no you can't-" Maya began but Ashlyn interrupted her

"JARVIS, please escort Maya to the front door," Ashlyn said in a bored voice. Maya looked back at her friend but walked toward the elevator.

"Are you agreeing to stay?" Tony asked the girl sitting on the couch

"Well my plans got canceled, so I've got nothing better to do." She replied plainly before leaning back against the headrest and closing her eyes.

Ashlyn's pov:

Ash watched Maya walk back into the elevator. Maya looked back at Ash as if she were about to say something but Ash nodded at her and Maya remained quiet as the elevator doors closed. Ash laid back and closed her eyes, waiting for one of the Avengers to talk.

"Where are your parents Ashlyn?" Steve asked.

"Dead" Ash responded, not opening her eyes.

"Any other living relatives?" Asked Clint.

"Nope" she responded, staying in the same position.

"Where'd you get your powers?" Wanda asked but ash remained silent, she wasn't ready to disclose that information just yet.

"Where did you learn how to fight?" Nat asked but Ash didn't respond.

"What kinds of missions do you usually do?" Sam asked but again, no response. Ash could tell the avengers were getting annoyed at her lack of responses but she didn't care. She could feel Wanda's magic trying to enter her mind and smirked. Shooting her eyes open and looked directly at Wanda who was already staring at her.

"Stay out of my head" Ash spoke calmly but the threat was evident in her voice

"H-how did you do that?" Wanda sounded unsure and Ash suspected that not many people could keep her out of their thoughts.

"I have my ways" Ash spoke as she looked at the rest of the Avengers who were all awestruck.

"есть идеи? (Any ideas?)" Nat asked turning to Bucky

"может посадить ее в камеру? (Maybe put her in a cell?)" He suggested.

"нет, она охотно сотрудничает прямо сейчас, и мы хотим, чтобы так и было (No, she's cooperating willingly right now, we want to keep it that way)" Nat said.

"может попробовать ее запугать? (Maybe try intimidating her?)" Bucky suggested again.

"это не сработает (That wouldn't work)" Ash said as she smirked. The whole team turned to stare at Ashlyn with shocked faces.

"You speak Russian?" Nat asked her.

"Очевидно (Obviously)" Ash replied as she smirked at the team's awestruck faces.

"How many languages do you speak?" Steve asked.

"Too many to count," she responded casually.

"Why are there no files of you anywhere?" Tony asked.

"Because I'm not stupid, в отличие от вас (unlike you)" Ash responded causing Spider-man to burst out laughing and Bucky to chuckle. Nat smirked and looked at Tony.

"She's talking about me, isn't she?" he said unamused and Ash grinned at him.

"Why did you start fighting?" Steve asked getting them back on track.

"Long story, not one I'm willing to tell you," She said calmly but the tension in the air was thick enough to cut with a knife.

"How did you kill all those Hydra agents?" Bucky asked her.

"Shot them" she answered plainly.

"How did you catch my arrow?" Clint asked.

"With my hand," she responded leaning back in her chair.

"Why are your clients scared of you?" Nat asked her.

"I'm scary," she smirked looking up at the ceiling.

"мы просто хотим убедиться, что вы не представляете угрозы (We just want to make sure you aren't a threat)" Bucky told her and she looked at him.

"я не твой враг (I'm not your enemy)" she told him and he nodded, "но я тоже не твой друг (but I'm also not your friend)" she added.
