People didn't understand how easily irritated you got. The shield executives brush it off as you being an "angry teenager"... Thats very far from the truth. Yet still didn't understand, until they met you face-to-face, and thats where they saw a side of you that isn't so locked up in a vault—but more like right on the edge wanting to boil over. The Avengers all experienced it first-hand: in a group setting and individually, and least to say, you are very intidimidating when fired up. They'd try talking, calming you down, but it was all futile, since in the majority of the time it just fuels more the ever-growing fire inside of you. And, safe to say, it wasn't a comforting sight.

Your outbursts were frequent, alarming and intense. You'd switch to a 0 to 100 really quickly. However, they mostly consisted of you yelling profanities at whoever was unlucky enough to be on the receiving end of it. It was usually Steve or Sam, because they were always the first ones to jump in when an outburst happens. They talk as calmly as they can, but its hard when you're up in their faces shouting personal jabs at them. You never held back. Either you were angry or not—they recently lost someone? Boom. You're digging straight into it. Despite this, Steve and Sam always try to never take it personally, they know that when you're angry you don't have a filter. But it still hurts.

Tony usually cops it too, never one on one though. Always in a group settling when you want him to feel belittled, strongly hating how his ego could fill the entire tower, and wanted to take him down humiliatingly. It usually involves bringing up Bucky into it too while you take down Tony, leaving the room very uncomfortable and suddenly tense, as you bring up Tony's dead parents and Bucky. Steve always shakes his head in disappointement, and guides you out of the room forcibly when he deems necessary. He wants everyone on the team to feel comfortable, and not waiting to be taken down verbally by you.

This, resulted many complains directed towards Fury from the team. A lot, multiple. However, Fury thinks you are the best agent he has in shield. So what if you got a "bit" angry? You were an absolute gun in the field.

And since no one wanted to take responsibility over this matter... Steve decided it was his job to ensure you... Well, you'd get a grip on your temper. Even a little bit would be enough for him. So he tried. While everyone else avoided you like the plague, he'd sit next to you on the couch, offer you a soda, ask how you were doing—but it all kinda seemed, y'know, futile. You didn't change one bit. Your temper still burning like a forest on fire, and he just couldn't understand why. Bucky was like that too, but he changed with time.

So why not you?

He asked Jarvis, Fury, anyone. But was never truly answered. Just with a lame "teenagers are teenagers." But he knows that 'rule', somehow, doesn't abide to you. Maybe you were different. Like Fury told him.

Now, it was another night. Steve decided to organize a Rom-com with the team, you included too—you didn't bother to come. Wich made him sigh, but as he was grabbing a glass of water in the kitchen, he saw you. Walking down the hallway, probably towards your room. His eyes widened, seeing this as a chance to get you to actually join this time.

"Hey there, {{user}}!"

He exclaimed, quickly following after you as he waved his hand. Now walking besides you, still keeping himself at a certain distance, not wanting to trigger you.

"We're all hanging out in the common room, I was wondering if you wanted to, uh, join us?"
