Chapter 15

"Wake up!" Screamed my dad, waking me up. This is what I hated the most. Being rudely awakened.

I startled myself awake and looked at him, startled.

"Sleep well?" He then asked a little more calmly.

"I would have slept better if you hadn't woken me up." I answered him a little sleepily, rubbing at my eyes.

"Good, I bought what you wanted for you yesterday. Now I need you to do me a favor." he replied.

"Keep talking" I gave him as a sign because I had no other choice anyway.

"So" he squatted down in front of me at that because I was still sitting on my bed. "Pepper and I have our anniversary today, but I still don't have a present for her. Do you know what a woman would want on a day like this?" He asks me. Doesn't he finally want to marry her. Next year there will be the same question.

"Jewelry. Women always look forward to jewelry ... And flowers" I answered him.

"OK you are a super help to me right now." And kissed me on the forehead. I know he treats me like a little kid and, which is because he is disappointed in himself for missing everything. Now he wants to make up for everything. I don't really mind in the least, but he shouldn't do it in front of the others.

He then got up and left my room. I let myself fall once again on the bed and stayed there for a few minutes.

When I got over myself and got into the bathroom, I went to take a shower.

After the shower, I put on a red t-shirt and dark blue shorts. Morning routine I then also quickly done and then went first properly what eat.

Tony's view

I went to the most expensive jewelry store and bought the most beautiful necklace I could find for Pepper. It was a silver necklace. A beautiful heart was on there as a pendant. I would wear it myself if I were into hearts, but it was meant for Pepper.

Just the flowers and then I could go back. Red roses that have blossomed beautifully, Pepper can marvel at later. For Pepper only the best.

When I came back, I went first to the workshop. I tried my luck again to check our system. But I couldn't find anything until I came across a file that wasn't there before. It had an unusual name, which was too conspicuous. This file was a program that had not been installed yet. If I deleted it now, the culprit would go back one step. I took a USB stick and wanted to find out something more from this program. I downloaded these files to my USB and blocked them from the server, and then I deleted them. I then closed the system and plugged the USB into my monitors.

Julis view

You know what is unfair? When everyone in this house can fight and I can't. I just need that. I mean I have to take care of Loki. What if he manages to break out? Yeah, then I'm so screwed. And that's why I went to the Avengers and headed down to the lobby. I also had no idea who I would even find. But no matter if I would run into, The first one will be my teacher. Whether he wants it or not.

The first one I could find was Captain America. Nice, he's cool. I walked up to him and tried to convince him to help me.

"Hey Cap." I greeted him first. He apparently didn't know I was there, because he turned to me, startled.

"Hey Juli ... Don't ever do that again." He then laughed. The Cap laugh. Guys enjoy this moment, it rarely happens.

"What?" I asked.

"Sneaking up from behind. Imagine I have my shield at my disposal right now." He explained.

"Isn't a shield for ... Never mind. Can you help me ?" I asked him sweetly.

"Sure, what do you need help with?" He asked me helpfully.

"Since you've already said yes, nothing can go wrong. I want to fight and I want you to teach me." I replied.

"What, no I can't. I would kill your father if he found out about it." He gave me as an answer, with which I was not satisfied.

"Oh please Steve. I want to though. I mean I'm of age. No dad has nothing to say." I begged him.

He seemed to consider. Then he sighed.

"Your father doesn't get a say. Are we clear?" And warned me with his finger. I nodded at him enthusiastically.

"Good, in 20 minutes in the training room." He commanded. Steve was simply the best. Overjoyed, I went to my floor and dressed a little more athletically.

After 15 minutes, I went to find the room. When I found it, there was no one in it but Cap. It was facing a punching bag and hit it a few times. On the last punch, that bag flew into the nearest wall. Fortunately, I didn't have to catch it.

When it finally noticed me, it came at me.

"The first thing I'm going to teach you is to fight back yourself." He stood in front of me. "You must try to see your opponent's attacks before they happen. But you have to recognize that quickly, otherwise the whole thing will go to shit." He explained to me. Did Steve just crack a joke?

I nodded at him in confirmation. He raised his hand and guys I didn't see that coming. He punched me right in the face.

"Oh I'm so sorry" he apologized a thousand times.

"Why are you hitting me?" I asked him indignantly and then looked briefly at the hand I was holding in my face earlier. My nose was bleeding. That punch wasn't the gentlest thing.

"I thought you could block that punch. I mean that punch anyone would see coming. It was so obvious." Steve defended himself.

"I ... I just had to blink." I lied.

"I'm sorry. I won't hit you again." He apologized again.

"It's okay. I'm still alive, after all. Can we move on now?"

"Okay, but have Bruce check you out later." He asked me

"All right I will" and put me start clear.
