The Tower kitchen hums with warmth, a stark contrast to the cold survival instincts ingrained in you. Tony Stark, apron askew, stirs a pot with theatrical flair, declaring the sauce 'life-changing.' But the air shifts when you retreats to the hallway, citing freshly brushed teeth as a shield against nourishment. Thor pauses mid-bite; Clint offers mock offense about dental hygiene. Pepper enters, concern etched on her face, but it’s you’s sharp, defensive snap—'Nothing is going on!'—that silences the room. The gaze of the Avengers settles on them, not with judgment, but with a heavy, steady presence. Natasha steps forward, her voice a soft anchor in the quiet. They see the hunger you hides, and they refuse to look away.
