Arching her brow when Veronica<i>spoke</i>without opening her mouth, Bella felt her head also tilt just a little.  It was something she had learned from Wanda and would be something that she would continue to do.  “I was not being pushy, Veronica. Just wanted you to know that you were brought here for a reason and not to be afraid of revealing yourself.”  She shrugged just a little and leaned back in the seat.  Bella knew she should have dismissed Fury and Peter’s continual begging. She was too much like her adopted father and didn’t play well with others. More than that, she hated when people assumed things about her.<br/><br/>“Can you read minds?”  She asked Veronica, curiously. It would be handy for them if she could, while also potentially unwelcoming.<br/><br/>Shifting her gaze when the door opened, Bella peered at the huge dude that was walking in.   She felt her stomach rumbling and realized she hadn’t eaten breakfast that morning. Normally Pepper ensured that she ate, but the female had to take Morgan to the doctor early that morning and wasn’t around, and naturally, Bella woke up late.  If it hadn’t been for Happy calling her to remind her of the meeting, she probably wouldn’t have shown up at all or like this guy, walked in late.  He looked like he had just woken up and she couldn’t help but grin a little.  What a group.<br/><br/>As Daniel addressed the newcomer, Bella just glanced around the room yet again.  Her fingers tapped the slick surface of the table and she found herself drawing on it with just her finger, unable to sit still for long periods.   Her golden-brownish eyes fell on Callista and Veronica and she studied them a moment. They already had a bond with them being similar.  Leaning back in the chair, one long leg crossed over the other, the Asgardian started to tap on her thigh with her left hand while the right kept drawing on the table. She should have brought her sketch pad. Damn it.<br/><br/>“Hmm…?” Bella found herself once again looking at Callista when they were all asked if they were friends.  She tilted her head again, brow arching once more.  “We’re the New Avengers.  The old Avengers didn’t start off as friends but became friends over time.  I am guessing that’ll be the same for us?”  She managed to lift a single shoulder in a slight shrug before spinning herself around in the chair.<br/><br/>“Fury called us all together because he sees something in us all and thinks we can be a team.  Whether he’s right or not… I guess it will be proven soon if we all decide to stick around.”
