Francesca

Chapter 2

Shortly after Natasha drops off Francesca at school she walks through the gates towards her class. She enters the hall and there are many groups of kids all clumped together. A little boy named Austin, who looks to be around Francescas age, is carrying an art project down the hall carefully towards their class, he he continues walking before an older kid steps in front of him and pushes him to the ground.

"Nerd!" He yells laughing at Austin along with all of his friends standing in a crowd looking down at him.

"Hey! That's not nice!" Francesca shouts out at the kid that knocked him over she couldn't believe how mean that kid was. 'He's a baddie for sure' she thinks to herself.

"Oh yeah so what?" He replies yelling back still laughing slightly with his friends.

Francesca frowns walking towards him and grabs someone's hard cover book, holding it above her head and runs towards him before smacking him in the face with it.

She sits quietly in the school office, the fan being the only thing that makes a noise, she looks up as the kid she hit walks by crying, holding tissues on his nose while his mom comforts him.

"Francesca!" Steve says angrily as he bursts in the door "What the hell were you thinking?" He says grabbing her arm firmly and walking with her out of the school.

"Answer me! Why did you do that!?" He repeats glaring at his daughter angrily he was beyond disappointed in her and thought he had raised her to not pick fights.

She was disappointed in herself to... but someone had to do something! He was getting bullied, she bottled up her words knowing her dad wouldn't want to hear her excuses and shrugs staying silent.

"Just get in the car." Steve opens the door and Francesca hops in, before going to the drivers side and getting in also. He sighs softly and drives them to the Avengers tower to drop her off.

Francesca hops out of the car excitedly once they get there "Uncle Tony!!" She smiles running towards him and giving him a big hug.

"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" He asks looking at his watch, although he had no idea what times schools were open he thought it was a good question to ask.

"She broke a kids nose" Steve answers Tony crossing his arms disappointing looking down at his daughter.

"Probably deserved it" he shrugs and shoots a wink at Francesca while hitting Steve on the arm softly.

"I've got to go to a meeting can you take Frankie with you guys to the Avengers compound, I'll meet you all there" Steve says getting back in the car and starts to pull out.

"Yayyyyy" Francesca cheers happy that she got the rest of the day off school and runs inside to find her other uncles and aunties.

"Keep her out of trouble, Tony" Steve instructs giving a small smile, still quite annoyed at Francescas behaviour but knew he had to let it go eventually.

"Don't count on it" Tony replies with a sarcastic comment trying to piss off Steve as usual and follows Francesca inside.
