Tony: So, how'd it go?  Nat said you seemed pretty confident?

I grinned.  I was eating pancakes, waiting for the others to show up.  I hadn't told him how successful I was yet, since Nat had been busy and he had gone to bed early last night when I got home.  I really didn't need another... incident.

Leek: Well, I managed to find and recruit them all within four hours, so yeah.  Confident is probably the right word.

Tony, who was taking a sip of his coffee, spit it out in shock.  I just smirked at his surprise, as he looked at me, amazed.

Tony: How did you... whatever.  I guess you were the right one to send.

Leek: Hehe, I know!

My phone buzzed, and I looked to see I had a message from Miles, saying they were all there.

Leek: Welp, they're here.  Can I give them a tour of the building?

Tony: Go ahead.  When you're done, meet us in the lobby.

Leek: Us?  Is Natasha gonna be there too?

Tony: You'll see.

I gave him a thumbs up, and Instant Transmissioned to Miles.

Leek: Yo!

Miles fell over, startled.  Danny and Lana laughed at him while Cindy just smiled.  They all had suitcases, and for whatever reason Danny had a bag on his back that was shaped suspiciously like a sword.

Leek: Morning everyone.

Cindy gave me a fist bump, while Danny and Lana just waved, and Miles just got up and pouted.

Leek: Come on, man don't be like that.  I was gonna give you guys the tour.  The lab, the training rooms and gyms, the dorms, the mission control room... oh, and the lounge room with a built in surround sound system.

I said the last part looking at Miles, who turned around and smiled.

Miles: Alright, fine.  I forgive you.

Leek: Figured you would.

I led them inside, and started with the dorms so they could put their stuff away.  Girls on one side of the hall, boys on the other.  Except my room, which was upstairs since I'd already been living there, but my room was big and had two levels, so the lower level is now the hangout area.

Lana: You LIVE here?

Leek: Oh, you should see Tony's room.  This is nothing.

They all sweatdropped, and we moved on to the science labs.  Bruce Banner was there, working on some technology for Tony's Iron Legion, the peacekeeping robots he's making.

Leek: Hey Dr. Banner!

Banner: Hm?  Oh, hello Leek.  What brings you in here today?

Leek: Just showing the others around.

Miles: I'm Miles Morales.  Nice to meet you, sir.

Danny: I'm Daniel Rand.

Lana: The name's Lana!

Cindy: Cindy Moon.

He smiled, and put down the tech he was working on.

Banner: My name is Dr. Bruce Banner.  But you probably know me better as the Hulk.

He paused, and I waited for the surprise to kick in.

Danny: Wait, WHAT?

Lana: You're the Hulk?
