Welcome to Civilization (Closed)

"Well since Kya is basically a super soldier in a large cat's body, there should be enough brain for Psy to pick up on her thoughts."

Clint ruffled the large cat's fur

"Knowing Tony, he will still start to organize the party. Guess you will have to get ready anyway. He will most likely give you time to recover until we get to the home base."
 
She nodded. The one with red hair who said she was speaking to my mind while I slept seemed most... happy about a party.

Catalina looked around as Nat just smirked.

You will get used to her. That was Wanda she can be a little hyper. Don't worry we will help you get ready and keep Tony patient till you are ready
 
"We don't get a lot of downtimes, so a party is usually a good thing before another earth-threatening event takes place."

Clint moved closer and rested a hand on Catalina's shoulder

"Glad you pulled through, it was a hectic way to get through your first mission."
 
Are they all gone now? The ones who take the Islanders?

She looked Clint almost hopeful that the answer would be yes even though she suspected it would be impossible to end them all. Nat slipped out of the room and went to find Wanda. She wanted in on the planning too on how to help Catalina be stunning for the party. Psyborg seemed to have vanished as well without notice leaving Clint in the room with her and Banner Tony and Fury in observation
 
"No, they are not all taken care of, but the people and the island will more than likely be protected by SHIELD, in the spirit of co-operation of course."

Clint glanced at Fury and wisely decided to hold his tongue, he knew what Fury actually meant, "So now that you are awake, you can rest a bit and when you are ready to move a bit, I will show you to your quarters, which you of course will be sharing with Kya."
 
A brow raised at that the look in her eyes changed as she watched Fury. Suddenly Fury wondered what all Ebenezer might have told her as it finally registered his words were almost carbon copy of the senator who initiated the beginning of the end of Dr Westlyn helping anyone and the beginning of his final lab destroying fuck you to the world.

We will do better this time in out aid and assistance and protection.

He finished knowing the check he just signed for SHIELD.

Good.

Was all she said to him and then looked to Clint. I want out of here lead the way.

Kya snorted but looked to Banner.

Catalina can you give us 8 hours relaxing here so we can make sure there are no ill effects from the medicines used in your medically induced sleep? I will lock Clint in here too if needed.

She looked between them and nodded.

Okay better to be safe than sorry.
 
"Now hold on a moment, lock me in here? You do realize that is just one bed and a very protective Delphina?"

He caught the confused look from Fury and sighed, "The lady in waiting for Maid Marian."

Fury and Banner looked at each other and back at him, Clint shook his head, "I read."

"You know how to read?" Fury retorted, flashing Clint a slight smile before leaving. Clint stared at the closing door.
 
You do not have to stay if you do not want to I have Kya and sleep that is of my own choice might be nice.

She smiled a little to Clint as Kya jumped up and curled half on her wards legs.

See perfectly safe.
 
Clint grabbed a chair and dragged it closer

"I have no problem staying, but 8 hours is a long time without taking a nap in between. And I don't think we know each other quite well enough to share a bed. And I am not going to curl up at your feet."

He grinned and leaned back in the chair.
 
She raised a brow but guessing he was joking laughed a little.

Feel free to leave whenever you like and what would.younwish to know or what do they want you to find out?
 
"Oh, don't worry, I am not under observation, so I can leave any time I need to."

He gave her a slight smile

"II am not staying to find out anything or because somebody told me, this is me sitting with you because I actually want to."
 
You have no questions and no observed ability to bombard my mind while I sleep. This is nice. Very well I guess we sit here in silence.

She moved her hand to Kya's fur and laid there studying the room and items around her.
 
He shrugged, "I am a normal guy, trained in infiltration and very good with a bow and arrow. If you feel no need to talk to me, then yes. We can sit here in silence while Banner continues to observe you."
 
Ahe bit her lip worried she had upset him. It was very different here so far from the island.

Bow and arrow... I know. Infiltration... I am not familiar with. Tell me more?
 
He gave her a slight smile, "If Kya could speak, she would have told you how frustrating it is. When you are trained as a spy, you are taught how to get into places without being seen. Like how I showed up so close to your tree house. Move quietly, use the shadows and your surroundings and if you need it, you can disguise yourself as one of the opponents. Maybe if you want, I can show you the basics, but if you have hunted with Kya, you would have a good idea already."
 
Grandfather showed me there within our home on the island but here... I do not know. So perhaps that would be good and I can use my abilities to aid our hiding and things when needed?

She listened to him.thinking over it all.

Her methods are once prey is found attack... very simple at least to her.
 
He chuckled

"Not really that straightforward, I explained to her that it is like stalking prey to get downwind, to get close and surprise them. She did really well for the first time. Of course, she needed to be restrained a few times, but every rookie makes a mistake every now and then."
 
She reminds me of grandfather sometimes. Very set with her methods and determination. She is homesick though. She does not care for "human jungle".

Catalina scratched at Kya's ears. Tony spoke through the comm.

We actually are in the process of designing her a... habitat that will include as many of the plants as will grow in the states. An enclosure like the cave system to sleep in and doors between the compound building and the outdoor habitat. I think she will like it.

Kya lifted her head snorted to Tony and laid back down.
 
"And if she grows tired of Tony's habitat, I still have the farm, it has a wood area that is untamed, so she can visit it at any time. It will not be a jungle, but at least it will be raw nature."

He looked at her, "When did your powers materialize? When you were young or as you grew older?"
 
She likes you I am sure she would like that... farm.

They saw my abilities with earth by age 3 water by age 4 air by 5. My powers with fire... by age 2.

She laughed a little.

Grandfather was working so I could not go out to the waterfall. He said that I held my hand up to him and close my fingers as if making a fist and the little fires he was using in his "machines" all went out. Needless to say that turned into games and him studying what I had just done and learning my abilities.
 
"You do know that you will be welcome as well? You don't have to be an island."

He listened to her, it sounded like her grandfather really took pride in her and wanted her to learn how to use her powers with the limited time and resources he had.

"So you grew up with your abilities, it is very rare that you hear about that. Normally you will hear about people growing into them at a later stage or something happens to infuse them with the powers they have."
 
She nodded at being welcome as well.

Grandfather believed the the island itself somehow caused everyone born there to have powers.

Tony's mind was racing... the island breeds mutants who are completely content to live in a pretechnological world with no real signs of wars or anything outside of Hydra and they are happy peaceful and fight to protect that peace by force of will to hide the island with incredible success from.even the most modern technology. For once Tony Stark was stunned silent.
 
"Well if that is true, it would be better to keep the outside world away from it. Even the best intentions sometimes come with negative consequences. Perhaps SHIELD should think about setting up a no-fly and no-sail zone around the island, place false radioactive beacons to let anybody that come near think twice before wanting to enter."

Clint shrugged, "But since HYDRA and SHIELD now know that the island is there, the only real way to keep everybody safe is to do a total mind wipe on both groups."
 
That is not possible is it?

She sighed and stared at Kya. Tony shook his head as he talked.

I honestly wish it was but the best we can do is technology to know hopefully ahead of time when island is attacked or any of Hydra gets near it. As for the no fly no sail already done on the civilian and standard world militaries.
 
"You got to study a bit more Stark, there are quite a few mutants and magic wielders who can do just that, but it is a bit excessive, actually downright cruel towards some people."

He got up and stretched, "OK, I am off to have a shower and get some sleep. I will see you later when they lift your banishment."

He gave her a playful wink, scratched Kya behind the ears and walked out.
