The Next Avengers: The Legend(MCU)

A Mechanic With A Trigger-Happy Little Sister

***Rose Hill, Tennessee***

Touching down in Tennessee, Peter, Ava and Sam made their way into town and found their way to the Keener Residence.

Knocking did nothing as no one answered. Looking in through the windows, they just saw a living room that was free of its occupants.

"I don't think anyone's home," Ava said, backing away from the windows.

"Hey guys!" Sam called to her and Peter. He motioned for them to follow him around the back, to which they did. Little did they know that they were being watched from inside the house.

***Garage***

Walking around back of the house, the trio came to a garage.

"Should we check it out." Sam asked.

Ava shrugged and looked to Peter, to which he shrugged too but cautiously walked up to the doors of the garage, opening them to walk in. When they did, they saw a large work space with multiple tables connected and a desk, multiple monitors atop them. The three fanned out to explore the place, finding many things along the way. A couch, small cubbies for nails, nuts, bolts, and other assorted items. There were also boxes of tools all around, and Peter even found what seemed to be mechanical arm, like Dum-E 2.0 back at the Compound.

"Mr. Stark," Peter whispered to himself knowingly as he rubbed the tech, which didn't seem to mind. He was actually quite nice, replying with a handshake for Peter.

This made Peter smile. But that smile was by an unexpected feeling of alertness. Suddenly, his arm and neck hair rose up, meaning one thing: danger!

Swiftly, Peter jumped up and latched onto the ceiling of the garage, avoiding what seemed like a Nerf dart as it flew right through the spot he was just in. The swift motion made Sam and Ava look up at their friend in confusion until they were peppered by a shower of dart flying at them. The rapid fire of it and the hurt that came with it too made the two ducked behind desks and tables.

"You guys thought you could break into my garage?" They heard a little voice call out, "Ha, jokes on you!"

Peeking around the desk, Sam could see that it was a girl. A LITTLE girl at that! No older than maybe ten or eleven from the looks of it. And all the girl was armed with was just a Nerf blaster. This made Sam laugh and his confidence returned. "I got this," he said, cocky tone and all.

"No, wait! Sam!" Ava tried, but he'd already jumped up from his spot. No sooner than he had jumped out, he was once again hit with darts, but the effect was much more painful this time. Even shielding his face with his hands didn't help as the darts stuck into them as well. Outgunned and in pain, Sam retreated back to his hiding spot with Ava.

When he did, Ava was surprised to see that the darts were sticking to him. Reaching over and pulling one out, which earned a yelp from Sam, she examined the dart and realized that it had been modified. "Thumb tacks." She said, noting that the darts had thumb tacks glued to the tips of them, making them more dangerous.

"Nice try, doofus! But I'm no easy take! I'm surgical with this b***h!"

"Did she just quote Denzel in Training Day?!" Ava asked, more surprised than worried.

"This kid's nuts!" Sam exclaimed, attempting to take another dart from his face.

From above, Peter aimed his web-shooter and shot it at the blaster and another at dart cartridge. The cartridge slipped out easily, but the girl had a tight grip on the Nerf. She quickly reached in her back pocket and pulled out a Swiss army knife, and cut through the webline, ending the tug of war match.
