Two weeks later

Clint P.O.V.

Me, Nat, and May were walking in Central Park. Nat had warmed up to May faster than even she thought she would. We still knew almost nothing about her past.

All the sudden May runs off.

"May, come back." Nat yells.

"We better follow her." I say to Nat.

"Yeah." She replies walking in the direction May went.

We saw her talking to a crying child, maybe about 10. Doing the obvious thing, we hid behind a tree and listened in.

"They... they made fun of me because my eyes are weird, just because they're purple." The little girl told May.

"Hey. Hey, it's fine. Look at my eyes." She told the girl.

The girl looked up and her eyes widened.

"They are so pretty!" She exclaimed.

"Thank you. I was always bullied too. Give them an extra big smile, ok?" She told her.

At this point we were confused, why smile if they were hurting you?

"Why?" The girl asked.

"What's your name?"

"Ace." The girl said.

"Well, Ace, it really messes with them when what they say doesn't seem to bother you, ok? A good friend once told me; 'Give em hell by givin em heaven.' I live by those words, sometimes. Sometimes, though, you're just having a bad day, and that's ok. Just try your best to remember those words." May told Ace.

"Ok."

"Oh, and Ace?"

"Yeah?"

"You're eyes are an astonishing shade of lilac, it's beautiful."

"Thank you." Ace responded, walking away.

"We saw you talk to that little girl in the park today." I told her when we got back to Stark tower.

"Oh, um, you did?"

"Yup. You were wonderful. How did you hear that little girl crying anyway?"

"Oh, um, ya know.."

"Oh, right, the hearing.. That reminds me, Fury wanted to see you."

"Why?"

"Because you need to take a test." Said Fury as he walked through the doorway.
"What the hell dude! Were you like listening in, waiting for Clint to mention you?" May yelled.

"Language." Steve yelled as he walked past.

"I swear this place is like a friggin reality tv show, everything is scripted." She said, emphasizing friggin.

"Thank you." Steve yelled from the end of the hall.

"Yup." She yelled back at him. "What kind of a test?" She asked Fury.

"We will be testing your, abilities."

"No."

"This is not optional May."

"If you don't call me that I'll do it. Deal?" She asked putting out her hand.

"Deal." Fury said shaking her hand, slight amusement on his face. "5:00 pm sharp, training room, don't be late." He walked out of the room without another word.

"Where is the training room again?"
