Lilliana: The Oldest Maximoff [Discontinued]

Getting to Know Everyone

Once I get back to the apartment, I get a call from Tony.

"Ugh, what does he want now. I just got home." I grumble.

"Hello?"

"Yes, hello Lilliana. I need you to report to Stark Tower." Tony states.

"Why don't you want me to come to the office?" I question.

"Because you aren't needed at the office." He replies.

"Ok...but why do you need me at Stark Tower-and how am I even supposed to get there? I don't have a car." I ramble.

"Slow down there, hot shot. I just need your help with some research and development." Stark replies.

"Okay, but how am I supposed to get there." I say.

"Happy is already downstairs waiting for you."

"Of course he is..." I mumble.

"What was that, hot shot?" Tony teases.

"Nothing." And with that I hung up.

Then, the doorbell rings.

"And...there's Andrew." I mutter.

I grab my keys and lock the door.

"Miss Lilliana, your ride is here. Someone by the name of Happy? has requested you come down." Andrew states.

"Yes, thank you. I'm expecting him." I reply.

"Oh okay" he lets out a sheepish laugh.

"Bye, Andrew." I wave him off.

"Goodbye, Miss."

As I'm being escorted outside, I notice a man in a peculiar green outfit.

'maybe he's getting ready for a play or something. You know what? Maybe it's just a weird American thing' I think.

Then, Happy gets out and opens my door for me. Once I'm secured, he gets comfortable in the front seat.

"So mind telling me what this..." I pause thinking of the words Mr. Stark used, "research and development I'm being summoned for is about?"

"I can't tell you even if you do ask." Happy mutters.

"And why is that?" I question.

"Because h-he's my boss a-and I like my job." Happy stutters.

"Uhuh, yeah, that makes perfect sense." I reply humor lining my tone.

"Y-yes, that's because it's true. It's gonna make sense, unless I make it up, then it's not gonna make sense, unless-"

"Happy," I raise my voice just enough to stop his rambling, "I know that you're lying because when you lie, you get nervous. And when you get nervous, you ramble. So do you mind telling me what I'm actually needed for?"

Happy sighs defeated.

"Tony wants to run some tests and do some research on your powers. That way, he can make you a suit that is more effective and useful for you."

"Stark's making me a suit?" I mutter,

"oh my god, Stark's making me a suit- wait why is he making me a suit?"

"Because your gonna be an Avenger. All Avengers have to have a suit, and what's the suit good for if it's not tailored to you." He replies.

"Huh" is all I'm able to say before we arrive at Stark Tower. Happy gets out and takes me to Tony's lab.
