Secrets of Iron

little trip to the city (at least kinda normal...)

“New York's New Heroine is still without a name. But nevertheless Spider-Man and her are back on patrols before Christmas...”

His suit laid on the ground by the door while he sat on the couch in his training clothes. He was speaking with Ned over the phone while the news were playing in the background. Ned was with his family just like MJ while Peter and Emma stayed at the Avengers compound over the holidays.

On the phone Peter and Ned were discussing about superheroe-names for Emma while she was taking a quick shower to clean off the dirt from the car wrecks.

After she got out of the steaming hot shower she threw on some clothes before joining Peter in the living room of the Starks' penthouse. “Put him on speaker, Pete...” She jumped onto the couch next to Peter.

“-or something with Iron in it.”

“Hey, Ned. What's up?”

“Oh, hey, Ems. We're just trying to come up with an alias for 'Ninja'. Even the guy from the news thinks it's about time she get one!”

Rolling her eyes she got up from the couch. “I'll leave you two brains alone with that one. Why does everyone even care about a name? I mean I would just be happy to be saved by anyone...” She made her way across the room to the elevator. “Imma go to the city. Need anything?”

Peter had focused on his and Ned's call again. “We just were in the city...”

“But not to go shopping...” She grabbed her keys while she waited for Peter to answer properly.

“Could you get me one of those thingys...the ones they got Avengers Editions of...?”

She looked him dead in the eye. “They have Avengers Editions of nearly everything. You have to be more specific.”

“Forget it. Bye. Don't let yourself get kidnapped!”

She should have never told him about that. Holding up her middle finger she glared at him as the elevator doors closed.

“Should I call Happy to drive you?”

“No, thanks. I'll just take one of the self driving cars...” She got out in the garage. As Friday started the automatically driving vehicles Emma thought about calling Happy for a quick second but threw that thought right out of the window. She was just going Christmas shopping. But the cars weren't exactly blending in.

“I'll take the black one...” She walked towards a black car in the back. It had the biggest trunk. But it was a Landrover. So not exactly often seen in cities like New York.

She got in, throwing her bag on the drivers seat. “Welcome, Emma. Where would you like to go today?” Every car had its own little AI.

“Just to the mall...” A map opened on the front widow. The malls were marked with red dots. She selected the one she wanted to go to first. Slowly the car drove out of the garage before picking up speed as it was on the road towards the city.

 

With hands full of bags Emma walked back towards her car. Galdly she had gotten everything that'd she had forgotten before.
