As you and Danny leaped into action, you ignited your hand before throwing a good sized fireball at one of the random thugs. You landed and Danny immediately rushed to the SUV. His hand glowed and he punch the side of the vehicle which sent it sliding into three more guards. You popped out your claws and heated them up with the flames until they were steaming. You then used your claws to cut through two rifles before knocking the men out cold with a kick.

Hammerhead turned to attack but you froze his foot to the ground. Danny then rushed over and delivered a powerful uppercut. Your body tangled just as you were suddenly hit in your gut by what felt like a train. You flew back and crashed into a nearby wall. You felt your bones begin to heal as you looked up to see Tombstone there cracking his knuckles.

Tombstone: I heard about ya. You sent four of my best men into the RAFT. Maybe I should return the favor by putting you into the grave.

You picked yourself back up and popped out your claws. You caught them on fire and rushed towards Tombstone before swinging. He simply lifted up his arm allowing your claws to cut them. Only, they didn't even make a scratch. You heated them up and attempted another swipe only for the same results. He just laughed as he lunched a fist right into your gut. He then delivered a hard right hook to your jaw just as your senses began to tingle. You still didn't have that one figured out yet.

You felt your jaw pop out of place before colliding with the wall. You quickly moved your hanging jaw around before it popped loudly. The way everything healed in you mouth felt weird. Your covered your fists with thick ice and tried to stand up only to find your leg broken. It started to heal just as Tombstone clapped his hands together to bring down. You morphed them through you which gave your leg enough time to heal. You rolled away and ignited your feet before attempting to do the Hell's Kitchen only for Tombstone to grab your foot and swing you away.

You ended up slamming right into Danny who was also thrown. You both collapsed to the ground while Tombstone and Hammerhead laughed.

Y/N: I'm guessing things aren't doing so good for you?

Danny: Is it that obvious?

You both stood up and faced down your respective opponents. Tonbstone was too strong for your attacks. Ice didn't work and neither did your fires or claws. It was like fighting a wall made of vibraniam. What was this guy made out of?

You decided to try something else.

Y/N: Hey Iron Fist.

Danny: Yeah?

Y/N: Switch?

Danny smirked. Tombstone and Hammer head both began to close in on the two of you. Suddenly you ducked down and began to spin while Danny rolled over your back. Just as your hand was engulfed on flames and you delivered an uppercut, Danny's hand began to glow with chi as he delivered a fist right into Tombstone's face.

You covered your hands with ice and continued to beat down Hammerhead before he tried to crack your skull. Maybe you do have a hang of this sense thing. You ducked down and used your strength to leap to a nearby wall. You stapped your claws into the stone and smirked as your leg was covered in fire.

Y/N: Washington Heights baby!

You retracted your claws and launched yourself down towards Hammerhead who looked up in time to see your foot coming down. It made contact and the flame only swayed a little as Hammerhead went down unconscious. You looked over in time to see Danny deliver a devastating blow to Tombstone that had actually knocked him out. As his body fell to the floor, Danny looked back to you over his shoulder. He then lifted up his fist before lifting up his thumb and pinky. You returned the gesture.

You and Danny were sitting on the couch of Cage and Jessica's apartment while everyone else sat around and chatted over Chinese take out. Danny had an ice pack on his cheek and assured that his chi would heal everything find.

Everyone had recounted their own experiences with their busts, the Defenders praise included, while you and Danny listened. The police had already taken care if everything by the time Daredevil showed up to check in on the two if you.

Cage: What about you two? You've been awfully quiet during all this.

You and Danny looked at each other.

Danny: Hammerhead and Tombstone.

Everyone stopped eating at once and stared at the two of you.

Jessica: Tombstone and Hammerhead? As in the mobsters Tombstone and Hammerhead.

Y/N: Yep.

Cage: And the two of you dealt with them alone?

Danny: You know it.

You and Danny bummed your fists together while chuckling. Danny lowered the bag of ice and felt his cheek. Good as new. He then laid back against the cushion with a sigh. His mask was off but he still wore his costume. Likewise, you were also still wearing your uniform but the jacket was unzipped and your scarf was next to you. Your hair was a mess now and even Danny's blonde mop was unkempt. The two of you looked like battle worn warriors.

Cage and Jessica looked at each other and excused themselves from the group to talk. Danny watched them leave but didn't say anything about it. Daredevil, or Matt Murdock you learned, was sitting on a lounge chair with his leg crossed and a walking stick nearby. He was wearing a black turtleneck with a pair of tan loafers.

Matt: The two of you seemed to have made a good team. Not bad.

He moved his head towards Danny's direction.

Matt: Did you find it, easier to work with Y/N here?

Danny looked confused.

Danny: Well, I think so.

Matt smiled just as Cage and Jessica returned.

Matt: I'm guessing the phone call was made?

Cage looked at Danny.

Jessica: Yeah. Danny, we need to talk to you about something.

Danny sat up a bit. You noticed that he was a bit tensed. Was he in trouble? What for?

Cage: Now, this might be a bit outta the blue but we've been talking to Natasha for a while now. You're young kid. You never really got to experience life as a teenager.

Jessica: We all got together and discussed it. Natasha agreed to take you in to the Next Avengers Program.

Danny looked stunned. He began to looked around the room at all the others who gave him encouraging smiles and gestures. He then looked at you.

Danny: Should I?

You shrugged.

Y/N: Could use a partner to watch my back.

Danny smirked and turned back to Jessica and Cage.

Danny: Alright, I'll do it.
----------
It was a day later and you had just gotten done showing Danny around the tower before the two of you ended up in the Cafe Miles showed you. You were wearing a white shirt under a F/C flannel and a pair of jeans while Danny wore a green shirt over a grey long-sleeved and a pair of tan cargo pants.

Y/N: Well, I guess I should welcome you to the team officially now that you've seen the base.

Danny: It's nice. Not quite as homey as the apartment but still nice. I like the TV.

Y/N: Me to. It's where I get a lot of my ideas.

The two of you chatted over your drinks before Danny asked what had happened with everyone's stuff.

Y/N: Oh yeah. We were kinda robbed but the robber only took a bunch of random stuff. All the tech was untouched and nothing of actual value was taken.

Danny: That sounds rough. I wonder who broke in though.

Your table suddenly had a new person which surprised Danny while you seemed less bothered. You were used to this now that you were a regular here. So was Felicia.

Felicia: Hey there~

She noticed Danny and smirked.

Felicia: And who's the blonde?

Danny raised a brow but you just smiled.

Y/N: This is Danny. Danny this is Felicia. She's always here so we always have coffee together.

Felicia: The only drug I let in my life.

Danny shook her hand.

Danny: Nice to meet you. What's a pretty lady like you hanging around a brute like him?

You rolled your eyes. He wasn't even subtle about it. At least, you don't think he was. Flirting knowledge mostly came from the magazines you read with Kitty and the odd stories Marvel asked you to read.

Felicia: I'm afraid I don't know who you're referring to. The only boy I knew before you here is that hot piece~

You looked up from your cup with wide eyes. Did she just say that? She totally just said that. She really didn't give a shit did she? Danny started laughing at your reaction while Felicia set her chin on her fist with a smirk. Oh, she knew what she was doing. Well then two can play at this game.

Y/N: Looks like the feeling's mutual then.

It was now Felicia's turn to go red. She wasn't expecting you to fire back. You smirked as you took a sip of your drink. Thank you Teen Gossip Magazine.
