God, she had felt so out of place in the beginning. It was almost like she was starting all over again at Xavier's School....only worse. Where she was openly accepted at Xavier's, the Avengers weren't as welcoming. They didn't care all that much for mutants. To be honest in the beginning they really didn't know all that much about them since they all seemed to be in their own little world, saving humans from aliens and Gods...but she couldn't blame them really.<br/><br/>Xavier had the school special made for people like her, to protect them and keep them safe...so, they were in their own little world as well....fighting the Brotherhood and the Morlocks...doing their best to keep their own little world safe. Yet, for as much as they didn't know much about one another it didn't mean they hadn't heard about one another. If the Avengers weren't gracing the news stations and news papers the X-Men were. Still, she didn't think that one day both teams would ever get to the point of working together. Especially, since none of them really trusted one another.<br/><br/>When she had first arrived at the Avengers Towers, she wasn't all that well received. Then again, she wasn't to keen on being there either, knowing how they would look or talk about her. It was way worse then first arriving at Xavier's. Yes, people were afraid of her and her skin at the school but Tony and the others treated her like she had the plague. Tony gave her, her own floor in the tower, stocked with it's own kitchen, bedroom, living room and everything else she would need. It was like her own little apartment, only no one came to visit and no one wanted her to come out unless it had to do with a mission. Most of the time if they needed or wanted to talk to her they would use Jarvis and that got to be old. Yeah, it was bad not being able to touch anyone but the way they treated her in the beginning made her existence even less fun.<br/><br/>Battle wasn't much better. True, they all knew she could fight and hold her own but none of them wanted to get close enough to her for fear of having skin on skin contact. Sometimes, she even felt as if they never really trusted her when it came to having their backs. After all she had been on both sides...good and bad...so, how did they know she wouldn't turn on them in battle?<br/><br/>It took almost a full year before anyone trusted her. Until then her life was quite lonely and filled with phone calls made to people like Storm and Wolvie to keep her spirits up and keep her reassured that she was needed and wanted by the Avengers....even though they didn't know it yet. It would just take some time and maybe some knocking of the heads to get them to see the light...or so that is how Logan had put it.<br/><br/>Now, several years later, here she was...standing outside of Josie's Bar with two giant birthday gifts in her hands for none other then Steve Rogers himself. Who would have thought a day like this would come, considering how things started out in the beginning?<br/><br/>Hoping, she hadn't arrived to late for the man out of time's birthday party, she made her way over to the bar and opened the door to see who was all inside and waiting!<strong>"Birthday gifts comin' through!"</strong>
