Ryan woke up again, a white ceiling appeared in his sight and he stood up with vigilance activating his powers. But then the woman who hugged before he fell unconscious appeared. She rushed to him and hugged him and said," it's okay. It's over, you're not with hydra anymore. Calm down ", she caressed his hair and said," calm down ".
Ryan calmed down while Natasha asked," you haven't eaten anything since you arrived here. are you hungry? ", Ryan shook his head wanted to say he didn't want to eat anything but his stomach grumbled in protest. Natasha laughed and said," I'll bring something to eat. Just wait a bit ".
She exited the room while Steve appeared and said," hey kid, I'm Steve Rogers ", Ryan looked at him without saying a word, Steve just smiled and asked," when I was your age, I was beaten up in a backalley of Brooklyn and I'm a lean and weak guy at that. But that's all in the past, I'm now an old man who is lost in time. But I'm still holding everything together ".
Steve sat beside Ryan and patted his shoulder then said," so it doesn't what happened in the past. Just use it to make yourself a better man. Because it's the best teacher you can find. Your past self is the best teacher you can ever find kid. We know you still don't trust us. We aren't asking you to trust us. Just see for yourself and decide if we're trustworthy. It's upto to you. And if you need something, you can ask me ".
Steve then stood up and walked out of the room. Natasha appeared with carrying a plate. She placed it on the table. It has some fried vegetables, steak and some desserts. She then asked," we don't know what you will eat. There are other things too. Stark even has his private kcf and McDonald's. If you want you can also eat them ".
Ryan just picked up a knife and started eating food. After eating everything he looked at Natasha patted his head and took the plate away. Ryan just sat there looking at everything in the room. He can feel movements behind the mirror. Ryan tilted his head and pointed his finger at the mirror.
Electricity courses through his hand and hit the mirror breaking it. On the other side is Tony stark and Bruce Banner. Hearing the noise Natasha came running and saw Ryan looking at Tony and Bruce with an expressionless face.
She is disappointed at them both. Especially Banner, she and him is developing closely and even the bond is growing into love. But she never thought he would join hands with Tony for something like this. Tony awkwardly waved his hand at Ryan who just blinked.
Natasha looked at them and yelled," Tony? Bruce? What the hell are you two doing? ", hearing her shouts the other Avengers also arrived along with pepper. Seeing the broken mirror and the two people behind it, they find it quite ridiculous situation.
Steve sighed and said," and now they made this a mess ", Clint just took a look and then back to his business. Thor on other hand looked at Tony and asked in a little anger ," tin can? What are you and banner think you're doing? ".
Tony shrugged and said," chill, we just wanted to observe him. He stayed isolated for and brainwashed for years. We can't simply let him out without observation ", Ryan looked at all this and said," so I'm a prisoner now. Nothing's changed then ".
Pepper glared at Tony and said," Tony what the hell are you doing monitering a kid? ", Tony shrugged and said," we need to make sure he is in right mind before leaving him into society ", pepper glared again and said," that doesn't mean you can just spy on someone. We're sorry Ryan, I'm virginia pepper potts, you call me pepper like every one does. I apologise on behalf of Tony, he has a paranoid side that is so irritating compared to others ".
Ryan looked at her for a few seconds before saying," Ryan McLaren ", he only said and didn't say anything other word. Tony looked at him and said," good job pepper ", pepper glared at him and sat beside. She grabbed his hand while he flinched, hugging him she said," forget about Tony. Ryan, what do you think about me adopting you as my brother? ".
Tony looked bewildered and asked," you can't be serious? ", pepper asked," oh why can't I adopt him as my brother? ".
