James had spent a better part of his morning trying to make sense of what was around him. One moment, they had been celebrating the destruction of Ultron while waiting for his sister to return (each moment she was away, he could see Tony growing more tense, and he couldn’t help but feel the same way). It was one of the reasons that he was so relieved to see his sister… even when the sight of her… being about a year younger than he was used to, was an odd one for him. Still, it was unmistakably his sister. She even passed all the tests, questions she would only know if she grew up in the compound with him.

Things felt a little calmer when he realized it wasn’t a trap. He listened to her talk about her family here, and how her dad wasn’t a jerk here. He was glad that she was finally getting what she wanted, and couldn’t suppress the bubble of giddiness in his stomach when he realized that it meant that he too could have what he wanted. Tony was great, Tony would always be his mentor and his father figure… but to know his parents… the one thing that he’d always longed for.

After exploring the sleeping arrangements, James decided to split a tent with his sister. He had never seen so many people in one place… well, maybe the scavengers, but this felt like a lot more and they were all sleeping literally on top of each other. It was overwhelming. Torunn showed him where most things were, and split off to give James some time.

He used it by setting up the tent. James wasn’t… good at not keeping himself busy and this place was a lot. When the bell came for lunch, James strapped the shield on his back, even though he trusted what his sister was saying, he wasn’t about to leave the only artifact of his fathers just laying around in a random place.

The food hall was too loud for him, and he saw people watching him. Everyone seemed to know who he was and that wasn’t something he was used to. He quickly got his tray full of food, and he got a lot of food, and sped his way outside to sit by himself away from the noise.
