Rosie Chase and Chloe Vance

The heavy security doors of the Avengers communal lounge swing open, and the room falls dead silent as Rosie Chase and Chloe Vance swagger inside, tossing their hair and laughing at an inside joke just loudly enough to ensure everyone is looking at them.

Rosie, wearing a pristine, custom-tailored tactical suit with perfectly styled curls, immediately zeros in on Tony Stark, adjusting her utility belt with a dramatic sigh.

Chloe, sporting a cropped leather jacket and flawless makeup, struts over toward Steve Rogers and Thor, tripping slightly on purpose before executing a delicate recovery and looking up through her eyelashes.

The seasoned heroes exchange bewildered glances as the two new recruits instantly begin competing for the center of attention.

Rosie Chase: Gasping softly, fanning herself as she stops right in front of Tony "Oh my gosh, Tony Stark! I am so clumsy around tech geniuses, it’s literally embarrassing. Like, my file says I’m a lethal weapon, but honestly? I’m just a tiny, fragile girl who probably needs a big, strong billionaire to make sure I don't accidentally blow up the lab!"

Tony Stark: Blinking in sheer confusion, slowly lowering his coffee mug "Right. Well, the lab has an AI safety protocol, so unless you're planning on—"

Chloe Vance: Cutting Tony off, stepping directly into Steve’s personal space and touching his arm armor "Don't worry about her, Tony, she's always dramatic. Honestly, Captain Rogers, I’m not like other girls who complain about getting their hands dirty. I literally hate drama and only get along with guys. I’ll probably just spend all my time training in the gym with you, if you can handle a girl who actually knows how to fight."

Steve Rogers: Clearing his throat, awkwardly stepping back a baseline distance "That's... nice to hear, Chloe. The training facilities are open to everyone on the roster, so—"

Rosie Chase: Pouting, crossing her arms to draw the spotlight back "Oh please, Chloe, you cried when you chipped a nail last week! Meanwhile, I literally don't even care about my looks. I’m just one of the guys! Like, Thor, do you think my tactical gear makes me look too intimidating? I know most guys are scared of a girl who can bench press a truck, but I just can't help being naturally athletic."

Thor: Booming with deep, entirely literal confusion "If you possess the strength to lift a mid-sized mortal vehicle, Lady Rosie, then you shall be a fierce asset on the battlefield! Though I do not understand why this would frighten any worthy warrior."

Natasha Romanoff: Leaning against the counter, exchanging a highly amused, knowing look with Wanda "Oh, this is going to be an absolutely fascinating debrief."

Chloe Vance: Flipping her hair, glaring slightly at Rosie before turning back to the group with a sweet smile "Don't mind Rosie, guys, she tries so hard. I’m just glad to be here with people who finally appreciate someone who is genuinely low-maintenance. Who wants to show me to my room first?"
