On the run. The avengers

Part 7

"Seriously? why didn't you call us the moment you knew she was there, when she was still there. Now we have to go again and take more time to find her" Tony moaned.

"I think we can locate her better now" Bruce began, who now had everyone's attention on him. "Let me explain, if I understand you correctly she ran away from the fight club, no transport of her own and no bus or metro she took, right?" Steve, Bucky and Sam nodded and Bruce took that sign to continue his explanation. "So when she's walking, she won't be very far from where she's staying. We already had an idea she was somewhere between upper Manhattan and Harlem. And now the fight club is back in Harlem as well, so she's staying a bit in the same region. Now it's a young girl who we assumed should be in school, to achieve anything in her life she needs a degree. What schools are there in upper Manhattan and Harlem?" asked Bruce and Tony went straight to work.

"Look for Universities in those regions" Bucky brought in and everyone looked at him. "I don't think she's going to high school, but rather a college or university. The little girl I knew then was already very smart and we don't know how long she's been here in New York, she must be around 20 years old now, so a high school is unlikely anyway" said Bucky. "Good point, metal arm" Tony spoke and changed his search strategy. "Okay, we have the following schools/universities where she could be. Hunter College at Park Avenue and Columbia University in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Are the two schools I think she could be in. And if I see where she is most often seen, my choice would be Columbia University, everyone agree?" Tony spoke once looking around " Great, now make a plan and then we will go to that school tomorrow. I will probably call the school that I want to give an information speech. Well chop chop, kids I have to get to work" and with that he walked out of the conference room and the rest started making a plan.

-------------------------------

It was the morning after I reconnected with the avengers and The Winter Soldier. The shivers ran through me again when I thought of what that man did to me and that he was so close. I walked to school thinking how I could stay out of the hands of the Avengers now. She had used a lot of her powers lately and also knew not to use too much now, as she felt she was hitting her max. The fact is that if Lynn uses too much of her powers in a row or in a certain period of time she becomes some kind of a time bomb. There is then some kind of power explosion from her, which can be harmful to people and buildings around her. When she walks into the school she sees her friends. "Perfect you're here, come we're almost late for class" says Ziva who quickly pushes herself and her friends all into the building.

We are in Professor Lindon's class. "Okay everyone pay attention, we have a guest speaker today instead of your last lesson in the main hall" speaks the professor. 

"Who is the guest speaker then? Then we'll know if we want to go there," said a boy in the class to which the rest of the class laughed.

"Nice try Timothy, it's a surprise for you all, but I'm sure everyone wants to hear what this person has to say. Well now that's said, everyone grab your book and listen carefully". The rest of the morning passed quickly and before we knew it it was lunch break. "Do you have any idea who the speaker is?" Tyler asked after we all sat down at the table.

"We can hack the school system?" Ben suggested and everyone looked at him open-mouthed. "Not that I do that often, but hey if you want to know something, it can be useful" he tried to defend himself. I could only laugh at him. "Let's just wait and see, it's probably just a professor from another school or a researcher who wants to motivate us to choose his work profession," I said. This again led to who that might be. And so the whole lunch went on guessing ,even in the other lessons.

"Okay kids, get together" Tony spoke as he walked into the living room. Everyone sat down on the couch as Tony came and stood in front of them. "ok, we're going to the school this afternoon. I hacked into the school system last night to see if I could find our shadow, Well I can say to you they have a lot of blond girls with blue eyes.  There are some girls with no parents, divorced parents. But none of them fit the descriptions we put Shadow in".
