Much to Bella's delight dinner that night for her was tomato soup.  It wasn't too hard on her stomach and it was delicious to the 6-year-old.
Steve, Bucky, Tony, and Bruce were all sitting around the table talking to themselves.
Bella stopped and looked up at them.  "How come you guys aren't eating and I am?" She asked confused.
"We are waiting on some more people to come.  But you have to be in bed soon so you are eating before us" Steve replied sitting on one side of her while Bucky sat on the opposite side of her. Tony and Bruce sat next to each other down the table a bit.
Bella looked annoyed at his response about bedtime but agreed that she was tired.
'After you've healed a while then perhaps you can stay up longer but for now, you need as much sleep as you can get' the doctor's words rang through Bella's mind.
Bella hid a yawn and went back to eating her soup listening to the others talking in amusement.
She suddenly looked up and looked around sensing something or someone nearby. She tensed up causing Bucky to go on alert and look around also.
"What's wrong?" Steve asked.
"Hey guys"
Bella and Bucky jumped up quickly.
Everyone turned their attention to the man climbing out of the air vent.
Bucky growled in annoyance and sat back down.
Bella on the other hand dove under the table and curled up trembling.
"Didn't you get the memo to call before coming in?" Tony asked annoyed.
"Umm, there was a memo," the new man asked puzzled.
"It doesn't matter now.  Hey Clint" Steve said in greeting
"Its ok Bella he's a friend," Steve said attempting to coax her out.
Bella watched him unsure if she should believe him or not, however, she climbed back out from under the table.
Steve helped her back into her chair and she began eating again.
"Who's the kid?" Clint asked.
"Long story" Steve replied.
"We will tell you when everyone else gets here," Tony said effectively cutting off what Clint was about to say.
Clint shrugged and sat down next to Bruce.
Bella feeling a bit paranoid began jumping at every little sound and movement. Bucky and Steve swore they heard her growl when Bucky moved to get up to get a drink.
Clint watched her amused but he had a sinking suspicion about her. When the door swung open, Bella yelped and jumped out of her chair and wrapped her self around Bucky shaking slightly.
Bucky wrapped his arm around her holding her close in a protective manner.
Rhody walked in.  "hey Tony why are you not answering your phone," he asked.
steve sighed relaxing.
"Subject friendly" Bucky looked to Steve.
"Yes, he is a friendly" Steve nods in reply.
"Hey, Rhodes" Tony called.
"Hey, gunman stand down he's my best friend... You know just like how you and spangles are " Tony said as Rhody walked over.
Bucky started to relax but was still alert.
Bella yawned.
"Mr.  Stark sir"
"Its Tony kid," Tony said.
"I think I'm just gonna go to sleep.  I know I haven't eaten much but this is just too much" Bella said looking up at him and the others hoping they wouldn't be mad.
"Alright kiddo we can try some more tomorrow.  Then you can formally meet the rest of us" Tony said.
Steve stood up to show her where her room is.
"Bella where are you going?" Steve asked.
"Bed" she replied walking through the door into the laundry room.
Steve felt frozen as a shot of rage shot through him. He followed her into the laundry room trying to not look at the horrified look on everyone else's faces.
Steve stopped her and knelt down by her.
"I don't know how you live your life up until now but here we have our own rooms and we sleep in beds. Unless its movie night and we sleep in the living room" Steve explained.
Bella tilts her head confused.
Steve took her to a room and helped her up onto the bed.
"Want the light on?" He asked.
Bella nods her head quickly hopeful.
Steve asked Friday to dim the lights.
The lights dimmed down but did not shut off completely.
"Tomorrow we will see about getting you some stuff of your own" Steve explained.
"Stuff of my own?" She asked puzzled.
"You know... Clothes. Toys. Whatever kids need. How old are you again?" Steve asked.
"I'm six" Bella replied.
"Alright well... I guess we will figure all that out tomorrow then" Steve replied.
"But I don't need anything," Bella said confused.
Steve had a saddened look but his eyes showed fury. "Good night Bella," he said with a sigh and walked out of the room unsure of what else to say or do. He shut the door and walked back to where the others were at. His fists clenched in anger.
Bella sighed laying down and curled up.
