"Sorry"Elle said after she walked into a lab "No,no it's uh it's okay" The man with glasses said. "Tell me Fury didn't recruit a kid for this"He added "No"Elle said "No,no. Not at all I'm Eleanora Potts,Tony Stark is dating my mother so he's stuck with me because she's in DC"Elle said. "Oh okay"The man said "Bruce. Dr Bruce Banner"He said "Bruce it is" Elle said,the man chuckled lightly "How long has Tony been stuck with you"Bruce asked.

"Stuck with me? Only seventy two hours. In my life? My mom started working as his assistant when I was two so,ten years"Elle said,she took a seat on the high stool. "Do you like science"Bruce asked "It's one of my favorite subjects,right next to art and history"Elle said."Shouldn't you be somewhere safer"Bruce asked "Like school"He said "I'm not yet enrolled in New York"Elle said.

Once again Elle began to aimlessly twirl her twelve inch stiletto pocket knife around her fingers. Bruce glanced up from the computer screen,he watched the twelve year old girl's fingers dance with the blade. It was as if she'd been trained by an expert to do the motion,like it was second nature to her. "Natasha taught me a few things"Elle said,she pulled her eyes up from her book "And in this day of age staring is classified as creepy"She added,a light smile came to her lips.

"I think it's about the mechanics" Bruce said "Iridium. What do they need iridium for"He asked. "It's a stabilizing agent"Tony said as he approached the others with Phil at his left side and Elle by his right. The blonde twelve year old now in a pair of ripped skinny jeans,fish net tights under them. A white wife beater with a leather jacket over it and a pair of black and white checkered vans. Her nearly waist length blonde hair in braids and pulled over her shoulders.

"With the iridium the portal won't collapse on itself like it did at SHIELD headquarters"Tony said. "No hard feelings Point Break,you have a mean swing"Tony said towards Thor,Elle snorted quietly in amusement. "Also with the iridium the portal can open as wide and for as long as Loki wants"Tony added "Raise the mizzenmast,jib the top-sails"Tony said. With an eye-roll Elle fell against the wall,crossing her arms over her chest "That man is playing Galaga,thought we wouldn't notice but we did"Tony said.

"Kid"Tony said after realizing Elle hadn't followed him and Bruce "Right sorry"Elle said. The blue eyed girl pushed off the wall and joined Tony's side,he dropped his arm over her shoulders keeping Elle close to his body. "Stark has a child"Steve said "Uh no that is his girlfriend's daughter but he's been the kid's only father figure since she was two and now she's one of his biggest weaknesses"Natasha said. "If the girl is his weakness then why did he bring her"Thor asked "Couldn't find a babysitter"Natasha said. She gave a small shrug as if to say she didn't know why Stark had brought Elle.
