Y/N: This place smells nice.

Nadia: WAIT!

You turned to see Nadia was looking through the glass and at the many pastries that were behind it.

Nadia: There are special Pakistani donuts too?

You and Nadia were currently in a bakery in Manhattan. Why? We'll got to that in a moment.

Y/N: I think Kamala called those, uh, "ballishaha"?

Venom: Balusshahi.

Y/N: Balushahi.

Thank you alien symbiote who has a sweet tooth.

Nadia: That sounds delicious! Are they delicious, Y/N?

Y/N: Yeah, actually. Kamala had brought some around the tower once and they were pretty good.

Nadia pointed at another pastry.

Nadia: And are those the most delicious ones?

You shrugged.

Y/N: I only had the donuts.

Venom: THEY'RE FUCKING INCREDIBLE!

Thank you, alien symbiote with a sweet tooth.

Nadia stood back up and spotted the man working the counter.

Nadia: Excuse me, sir? Oh. You have a name tag. Sorry....Naveed!

The man smiled kindly and walked over to her.

Naveed: Yes? How can I help you?

Nadia: Oh, such a nice question. I like you! Naveed, have you eaten all of these?

Naveed: I have.

Nadia: That's perfect!

Naveed: It is?

You just leaned against the wall and watched this interaction go down. She was such a lively girl. Then again, she was probably just curious about a lot of stuff. She had been mostly stuck in the Avengers Compund and on occasion she would stop by the tower just to be around people her age. Well, you and Viv, at least.

Nadia: Yes! I've never eaten any of this stuff and I want to eat all of this stuff. But I can't. Not today, at least. Blerg. So I need to know what I absolutely have to eat.

She grabbed the man by the shoulders and looked into his soul.

Nadia: So, Naveed, what do I absolutely have to eat?

The man slowly and gently took her hands off his shoulder and smiled.

Naveed: Well, if you only ever eat one thing from here, it's my grandmother's favorite recipe.

Nadia: Ohhhhh!

You just sighed. How could you both come from such similar backgrounds yet be so different?

Venom: GET THE DONUTSSSS!

Monster:
Year 1

You walked out of the bakery about five minutes later with Nadia holding a big bag of freshly baked goods.

Y/N: Nadia, I can't believe you bought all that. I'm supposed to be escorting you to the immigration office to get your citizenship all straightened out. Not cleaning out the dessert counter.

Venom: Sssshut up and let usss enjoy our ssssnackssss!

You could feel Venom eating the donut under your shirt. Crumbs were getting everywhere.

Just as you said, you were escorting Nadia to the immigration office on the behalf of Janet. Why you? Well, Janet had an important meeting to get to and you were the only one she trusted since you and Nadia had seem to get closer. Viv was also an option but she stuck out like a sore thumb due to...well, she was pink.

But she did leave you with some encouraging words.

Viv: Protect her or else.

You shivered at her red eyes.

Nadia: It all looks so good! And we don't know how long we'll have to wait.

She kept walking while looking straight, right on a busy street. You hurried and picked her up as you ran across the street to avoid the incoming traffic.

Y/N: Whoa! Not really into looking both ways, are you?!

Nadia: Look at what both ways?

Venom: You never know where the gapss of knowledge are going to be.

Y/N: You have to look both ways before you cross the street.

You reached the other side after all the honking and avoiding. You set Nadia down and sighed.

Nadia: Why do I need to look both ways?

Y/N: So you don't get hit by a car. New York drivers are ruthless. They'll see you, but they won't care.

Venom: Honessstly, might asss well ssspeed up.

Nadia: Ah! Thank you!

She suddenly hugged you which made you blush a bit. Even Venom was surpised.

Nadia: You are such a good friend, Y/N! You're always looking out for me!

You awkwardly stood there before she let go. You just shyly rubbed the back of your neck.

Y/N: O-Oh. No problem. I mean, I get what you're going through. I was kinda on my own for a bit too.

Nadia smiled.

Nadia: Well, in the Red Room, I never had a family. I never met anyone new. If they thought I was getting close to any of my "friends" they would move them to a different project.

That sounds horrible. You couldn't imagine how that would be like. Always alone. Always having people you cared for taken away. You at least had the Old Man and Felicia later in life.

Nadia: But I'm out now! And I am determined to make up for lost time! And I want to make friends and change the world. So, let's go make me a Yankee Doodle!

Nadia walked into the immigration office while you stood there.

Y/N: The hell is a Yankee Doodle?
-----------
It was 15 minutes later when you found yourself chewing on a donut while Venom finished off his fifth. Everyone in the waiting room was eating one since Nadia went around and offered them the pastries she had bought.

You never knew a waiting room could be so delicious.

Venom: Kid, thisss girl givess usss food.

Y/N: Yeah.

Venom: But Gwen is a freak.

You raised a brow.

Y/N: Y-Yeah?

Venom: But Viv issss kinda adorable. In a weird way.

Y/N: Venom, where are you going with this?

Venom: Look, kid, I can sssee your thoughtsss. You're not an idiot. You're well aware that you're ssssurrounded by cute girlsss. And I can sssee another one in your head.

You nervously shifted in your seat.

Y/N: Felicia and Cat?

Venom: Yep! I can alssso sssee that ssshe wasss hot! And that ssshe kisssed you.

Your cheeks heated up at the memory. That was your first kiss.

Venom: Lisssten to me good, dork. You have a prime opportunity here. You have cute girlsss and I'm pretty ssssure Gwen would do anything if you jussst assked.

Y/N: Ven..

Venom: You can easssily get yourssself a girlfriend. I sssay go for it.

You just rolled your eyes and took another bite of your donut. Suddenly, the ground shook.

Was that an earthquake?

You stood up as the ground shook again. You looked out the window and saw something that made your jaw drop.

Y/N: Oh. A giant robot is rampaging through New York.
.
.
.
.
Y/N: Oh shit!

You hurried through the building and found Nadia helping an older woman to her feet. You rushed over to her as Venom covered your face.

Y/N: Nadia, we need to go be heroes now!

Nadia nodded and shrunk down as her necklace stayed the same. She grew back to normal size, bow in her costume, and caught her necklace.

Nadia: Let's go.

You nodded. You both rushed outside where you found the robot. However, another hero had beaten you to the punch.

Mockingbird: Come out of there, Monica, before I bust this tin can open and drag you out!

Y/N: Who the hell is that?

Nadia: Oh! I read her file! That's Mockingbird!

Monica: Sorry, Morse. Not gonna happen!

Mockingbird: Have it your way!

You ignited your fists while Nadia watched the fight.

Y/N: So, who is she exactly?

Nadia: She's awesome! She works for SHIELD, I think.

Y/N: Does everyone work for SHIELD at some point?

Venom: You technically do.

Nadia: She used to be married to Hawkeye.

Y/N: Clint? Poor girl.

Nadia: She hits people with sticks.

Y/N: Neat.

Mockingbird smacked the robot in the head a few times.

Y/N: Should we help her?

Nadia: Maybe. She seems like she's doing alright.

The robot suddenly grabbed Mockingbird as you both watched.

Y/N: Yikes. Maybe we should step in now.

Nadia: I agree.

You blasted off the ground as Nadia moved to the street.

Monica: I caught you, little birdy. Now let's see you fly!

The robot went to flick Mockingbird, but you were quicker. You slammed your claws into the metal and sliced the hand open before you grabbed Mockingbird and threw her towards Nadia. She caught the older hero and you blasted down to them.

Nadia: I got you!

Mockingbird: Thank you, uh, kids? They really do get younger every year. Soon they'll have babies out here fighting Ultron.

Y/N: Oh, I think Ms. Marvel has a fanfic like that.

Nadia: I read it! It was really good!

Mockingbird just shook her head as the robot marched towards the three of you.

Mockingbird: Okay. Whatever this is, needs to stop. We got big robot problems.

Nadia: Oh yeah! We can help! We're Avengers.

Y/N: Kinda.

Mockingbird: You kids need to get out of here before you get hurt. This woman is a legit mad scientist.

Nadia: That's perfect! I'm a happy scientist! Who better to fight her?

Y/N: Uh, giant robot is charging at us.

Mockingbird: Look, leave this one to the professionals.

They just ignored you. You rolled your eyes and turned to the robot. You then blasted up towards it to fight it.

Nadia: But we are professionals! I'm the Wasp and he's Monster.

Mockingbird: He's Monster?! The one Fury won't shut up about?

Y/N: Ahhhhh!

You crashed back to the girls and sat up before you spat a piece of the street out.

Venom: Temper.

Y/N: Man, fuck temper!

You stood back up and clenched your fists.

Nadia: Oh, I have an idea! Monster, you get the feet. Wait for my signal.

You gave a thumbs up while Nadia flew up towards the robot.

Nadia: Avengers Assemble!

You rushed over to the side while Mockingbird stood there for a moment.

Mockingbird: I'm not old. I'm not old. I'm not old.

Nadia flew up to the robot's view.

Monica: Oh, great. Another bug superhero. What are you supposed to be?

Nadia: I'm the Wasp!

Monica: You know there's already one of those, right?

Y/N: There's also, like, two spider-men! What's your point?!

Nadia: I met the other Wasp. She's nice.

Monica slapped her hands together which seemingly squashed Nadia. You stood there with a blank face as you thought about all the ways Janet was going to try to kill you.

Monica smirked as she opened her hands to see the damage. But Nadia wasn't there.

Monica: Huh? Where'd she go?

You let out a sigh of relief. Looks like you were good. Then, you saw something truly odd.

The robot started to dance.

Y/N: What.

Mocking: The.

Venom: HIGHWAY TO HELL! I'M ON THE HIGHWAY TO HELL!

Monica: What's happening?!

Nadia: Have you never heard of a dancing machine before? Even I know what that is, and I was raised in a bunker.

Monica: Where are you?!

Nadia: I'm inside you. I'm your conscience. I'm trying to tell you to give up crime.

Mockingbird walked over to you as you stood there watching the robot pop and lock it.

Mockingbird: Is that disco?

Y/N: Disco? What's disco?

Venom: Doesssn't matter. It'sss dead.

The robot kept dancing while Monica covered her ears.

Monica: Turn off this wreched music!

Inside the robot, along the circuit boards and the wires, Nadia danced along with the music.

Nadia: Wreched? This is Dazzler! It's classic. This was one of the only three records we had in the Red Room. You know what the other two were? I bet you can guess.

The song switch and strings of a sympathy began to play. Nadia switch to dancing a different way.

Nadia: They were ballets! Monster, do your thing!

You reached your hands out and focused your powers on the legs. Once they were frozen up to the knees, you stopped and charged forward with a clenched fist. You punched the ice which caused the ice and the legs to shatter.

As the robot came falling down, Nadia grew to normal size and sat in Monica's lap. She stuck her tounge out as the robot finally fell on the street.

Y/N: Touch down!

Mockingbird: Huh?

You looked at her confused.

Y/N: Is that not the right term?

Nadia kicked the top of the robot off and stepped out while Monica crawled out.

Nadia: We got her! We won!

Mockingbird: Shit. Maybe I am getting old.
--------------
You ended up back at Nadia's house, or, the Pym House after SHEILD came and took Monica. Mockingbird, or Bobbi, was kind enough to drop you off in the Quinjet.

Y/N: This is a pretty nice neighborhood. For Jersey.

Venom: I hear gunssshotsss.

Nadia: The neighbors over there didn't like dad. I can't imagine why, though.

She unlocked the front door and walked in. You followed and almost stepped on something. You stepped over it and closed the door before you realized there were a bunch of small machines everywhere.

Venom: Damn, bitch. You live like thisss?

Y/N: You got a lot of stuff going on here. Was some of this Hank's?

You walked in the living room where you found even more inventions laying around.

Nadia: Nope. This is all mine. My dad's half finished experiments are all in that box over there.

You looked at the cardboard box which had a lot of scrap in it.

Y/N: What are they suppose to do?

Nadia: I dunno. But that one is ticking so, be careful.

Venom: And that'sss the cue to leave.

Y/N: Oh, nice?

Nadia took off her jacket and tossed it onto the couch. Looks like she's been busy.

Y/N: Is this what you do when you're not at the tower?

Nadia: Kinda? I get bored a lot. I can't go on Avengers missions yet, since I'm not a US citizen. Or any citizen, really.

You gave it some thought.

Y/N: I'm not either. But, I'm still a part of the Program.

Nadia: Oh, Natasha and Janet have been talking about that. But, I'm not sure.

You looked at her confused.

Y/N: What's there not to be sure about?

Nadia: I dunno. I feel like I need to earn everyone's approval first. Like with Kamala and Miles.

Everyone's approval? You rubbed your chin in thought.

Venom: Kid...

Y/N: You're the one who said I should be nicer to girls.

Venom: When the fuck did I sssay that? I sssaid to get a girlfriend. Not be nice. Just go ssssleep around with Gwen or ssssomething. I don't want to follow thisss girl for the next few dayssss on her sssstupid quesssst.

Y/N: Too late.

Venom: Noooooo!

Y/N: I'll help you. We can go and talk to the others after we meet with your lawyer tomorrow.

Nadia: Lawyers can wait! Friendship can't.

Venom: No, it can.

Nadia: It's settled! Tomorrow, we're going to find everyone and get their approval!

Venom: Why couldn't you be a ssstud?
