Shadow pov

It has been a few weeks now and I'm fully healed. I can walk around the floor on my own but Master doesn't like it when I do so I'm careful to not be seen using my special ability. Of course sometimes Master can't always be around with me. 

Most of the time the man with the eye patch, I think his name was Mister Fury, will take him for a talk, that's what Master tells me. Mister Fury refuses to let me be there so I must stay home. Mister Tony leaves Master alone if I help around the house. Master is also ok with me helping the others just a little bit.

Today Master of off with Mister Fury and I am alone in the room and my servant needs are growing. I jump from the bed and go out to help, my servant mode activating. I sneak downstairs and look for Mister Bruce, I trust him the most and maybe he needs help. 

When I ask him however he says he's good and would rather I stay safe in my room. Servant mode was still active so I went in search of something to do. As I pass by a window I look in to see Mister Steve punching a bag. He looks hot and thirsty and instantly I'm in full serves mode.

I run to the kitchen and grab three glasses, I now know the names of stuff after hiding and listening, and fill them with water and ice and place them on the tray Master got me and then head to the fridge. Inside I grab an apple, grapes, and cantaloupe before picking up some crackers from the pantry and arranging it all elegantly on the tray. 

With grace and precision, I sprint to the room he was in, quietly entering as I would Master's studies. I walk towards Mister Steve and normally I would take in a breath, puff out my chest, straighten my back, but I felt too scared seeing him punch the bag.

"Excuse me, Mister Steve."

In a voice much smaller than I wanted but still smooth and calm. He turned around first on alert but then in surprise and of course a small bit of fear.

"Oh hey Shadow, What are you doing in here? And what do you have there?"

I could hear his hesitance but I just smiled as I should.

"I saw you looked tired and thirsty and I noticed you had no water so I brought you some fruit and water to help energize you."

I walk to the bench and set it down.

"Oh! Thank you so much, Shadow!"

I saw all his fear leave him as he picked up the water and an apple.

"I may have a Master but I love to help others too!"

I gave him my smile and went to leave but I felt a hand grab my shoulder making me flinch. I turn back to the man with fear now.

"Hey it's ok, would you like to sit with me while I eat?"

I gave a hesitant nod, Mister Steve was one of the few  I was comfortable around. I sat next to him on the floor, I was used to sitting on the floor after Master disappeared. We sat in comfortable silence as I looked around the room at all the strange things. After some time I heard Mister Steve get up with a sigh.

"Thank you for that Shadow, that really did help."

I smile up at him and stand up, folding my hands over each other. I give him a small bow and my tilted smile.

"No problem Mister Steve I love to help, it's my job. See you later!"

I trot out of the room and back to Master's room.

Steve's Pov

I was in the training room trying to clear my mind from our meeting today. I can't believe Fury thinks this girl is a deadly weapon of some sort! I mean none of us saw her until that night, maybe she could be hiding something?

"Excuse me, Mister Steve."

I heard a small voice call me and I stopped to see who it could be, no one is ever here at this time. When I turn I see Shadow and I was quickly frightened. If she is evil she has me alone.

"Oh hey Shadow, What are you doing in here? And what do you have there?"

She gave me a smile and my word was it the cutest thing ever.

"I saw you looked tired and thirsty and I noticed you had no water so I brought you some fruit and water to help energize you."

I looked down and noticed exactly what she was holding, it was a silver tray with gold lining holding beautifully arranged fruits and glasses of water. Oh my! That's so sweet of her!

"Oh! Thank you so much, Shadow!"

I walk to where she placed the tray and took an apple and a glass. She turns to leave and I can't help but feel a bit sad, maybe she would sit here with me? I reach and grab her shoulder, feeling a pang of sadness as she flinched violently. She turns with such heavy fear in her eyes I felt the need to punch myself for scaring her so bad. I gave her a gentle smile hoping to calm her.

"Hey it's ok, would you like to sit with me while I eat?"

I saw the hesitance in her nod but still, she sat on the floor and I joined her. After a bit, I went to ask her a question but I saw the look in her eyes. She looked at all the equipment with such curiosity and wonder I couldn't bring myself to disturb her, plus the quiet felt nice with her here. After a bit, I had finished the food and I felt full of energy, wow I didn't know just how much I needed that. I got up with a sigh of contentment.

"Thank you for that Shadow, it really did help."

She smiled as she stood and gave a small bow, she really was a polite girl.

"No problem Mister Steve I love to help, it's my job. See you later!"

She left the room with a little skip and off to somewhere else in the building. I stood there and thought for a bit and then made a decision. The look in her eyes as she looked around was a genuine childlike wonder. She's just an innocent little girl, that kind of look can't be faked.
