Stark Madness (Book Two In The Heart Of A Stark) Series

*5*

"About time Stark," Peggy admonished as YN emerged from the building.

"I am only three minutes late, Rogers, plus I brought you a present," YN sang as she slid into the awaiting car and handed over a tablet. 

"I'm not a Rogers for another three days," Peggy rolled her eyes but she couldn't keep the impish grin off her face, "What am I looking at?"

YN didn't answer, letting Peggy read through the manifest she provided. 

"Where did you get this?" Peggy asked looking up at her with wide eyes. 

"That's not important," YN waved her off before putting her finger on the screen to scroll back to today's date, "Did you see this?"

Peggy stared at her in awe for a moment longer before looking where she was pointing. 

"We should give this to the authorities, YN," Peggy exclaimed sternly, powering off the tablet. 

"Where is the fun in that?" YN laughed as Peggy tutted with disapproval, "Com'on Peg, you've been dying to get back out in the field. What better reintroduction than taking down the FBI's most wanted?"

A sly smile spread across her face as she watched Peggy's resolve waver. "I'll think about it," she finally relented as they pulled up to the compound. 

"Great, I'll just hang onto this," YN said plucking the tablet from her hands, "until you make your decision." 

She could feel Peggy scowl at the back of her head as she exited the car but quickly forgot about it when she took in the building in front of them. 

"Is it everything you imagined?" Peggy asked, joining her at the entrance. 

"No," YN whispered looking around as they entered the lobby, "it's more."

They took their time exploring the Avenger's wing which was outfitted with multiple training rooms, a pool, and the latest technology in the new and improved command center. Behind that were living quarters designed for each member of the team should they choose to return, including a communal kitchen and media room. 

"You still haven't been able to locate her?" Peggy asked, noticing the furrow in YN's brow as they inspected the living quarters of Wanda Maximoff. 

"No," she said sadly, "and I don't imagine I will until she wants to be found."

She ignored the questions that were clearly written on Peggy's face as they moved on to the south campus. Her pet project honors her father and Nat. The large and slightly flashy sign would have made Tony proud. 

Romanoff-Stark School for 

Disadvantaged Youth 

"I know I was skeptical at first but this is brilliant, YN." Peggy conceded as they made their way through the center, "Room and board, education and fitness, all in one building and free for those less fortunate. You sure know how to curry the public's favor." 

YN frowned, "That's not why..." she trailed off when she realized Peggy wasn't listening. 

"It's great press, as well as a great cover for the compound if the Sokovia Accords don't get repealed."

That was not a thought YN cared to entertain. She would see them abolished if it was the last thing she did. 

After making a few adjustments to the finishing touches of the building and signing more papers than she cared to count YN and Peggy finally made their way out to lunch.
