Eleanor had believed she'd be the only teenager at the fight, but it seemed Tony had recruited one of his own. The teen said his name was Spider-Man, and he wore a blue and red suit. Eleanor had to admit that his abilities were pretty awesome, but that didn't stop her from fighting until the very end.

When she was arrested with the others, she luckily wasn't thrown into a cell. Instead, the girl was handed over to Tony Stark. She had to keep an ankle monitor on at all times, but she had to stay at the compound or with Tony at all times. It was definitely a punishment, since Tony was telling her how dumb it was for her to fight them every ten minutes.

The girl ended up being locked in the compound, and she wasn't too happy about it. She had to get use to it though, rather she liked it or not. She was stuck there until further notice. Luckily though, Pepper dropped off James so Eleanor didn't have to stay bored.

For the first few days of staying at the compound, Eleanor ignored Tony. She was still mad at him, but she did talk to him when she wanted to know about Rhodey. Rhodey had been hurt because of Vision, and now he couldn't really use his legs. Tony planned to make him legs similar to an Iron Man suit so he could walk easier.

When Rhodey came to the compound so Tony could watch over him and help him get better, Rhodey seemed to feel a little more enthusiastic. With James around, Rhodey always wanted to be active. He didn't want little man to think he couldn't play anymore.

"Package for Tony Stank." A man said, as he knocked on the door.

Rhodey and Eleanor barely held in their laughs.

"Are you Tony Stank?" The man asked, looking at Tony.

"Yes, yes, he's Tony Stank." Rhodey replied, and Tony was given the package.

Rhodey and Eleanor laughed, knowing Tony was definitely not going to live this down any time soon. Eleanor planned to change his name in her phone from Stark to Stank. She didn't know why she hadn't thought about that name before herself.

Later that same night, Eleanor was in her room with James when her phone pinged. She stood up from the bed and walked over to the dresser where her phone had been laid when she had walked into the room. She picked up the phone and furrowed her eyebrows when she seen a random number had texted her. She clicked on the message and read over it.

Hey Ellie, it's Dad. Bucky and I got into a fight with Tony. Things didn't turn out well and I know you know that. Tony probably told you. Anyway, I got Sam, Nat, and Wanda with me, for now. They might go on their own. Bucky is getting the help he needs thanks to Wakanda.

Another message came in almost two minutes later, and it was from the same number.

Sam told me to tell you that if you need us, call us and we will be there. Clint and Scott are on house arrest for their families. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you. I love you, Ellie.

- Dad

She laughed a little when she seen the very end of the message, though she felt tears swell in her eyes. She was going to miss him, and she didn't know when the next time was going to be that she would see him. For now it was just her and James, but she understood. He had to save Bucky, they all worked to do so, and if he didn't get saved, then all their work would've been for nothing.

Please check in with me every few weeks. I'll be really worried about you guys if you don't. I love you all.

She knew she shouldn't text back too often, but she wanted him to know that she needed updates from them. She needed to know they were still alive or if they were in some kind of trouble. For all she knew, they could be dead if they didn't message her after a few days.

She knew Natasha would send her a message somehow soon. She and Natasha had a secret code of their own to work with when they needed to talk and nobody else needed to know what they were saying. It was one of the things the girls worked on during one of the days they weren't training in combat.

After only three days, the girls had completely settled on a full secret code. It was complicated for anyone that didn't already know the code, so it was the perfect thing for them to use. Nobody would be able to figure it out, and the only person she'd need to worry about figuring it out would be Tony. Tony was really smart, and he prided himself with the fact that he was smarter than most people.

Eleanor had wished that she had taught the secret code to Steve, Sam, and Wanda, but she hadn't thought to do so. Besides, Steve would've had a difficult time figuring it out. He wasn't the best at learning new things, he had a hard time with cell phones for the longest. Honestly, it was funny seeing him trying to figure out how to check messages.

Eleanor wished it could go back to that time; back to when things were much simpler. If she could've, she would've stopped Wanda from accidently hurting all those people. It would've kept the Accords from happening, maybe, and everything would've turned out fine.

Honestly, she wasn't worried about the way the world turned out, as long as she got to see her family again. She missed them, and time seemed to move slow when it came to seeing them again. She didn't know how far in the future it would be, but until then at least she had messages...
