American Girl: An Avengers FanFiction

Chapter 27

       "We've been hacked!" Tony Stark wails to Steve Rogers, "All of the records, all the classified data. Everything!"

     "Do you know who did it?" Steve asks trying to calm Stark down.

"Not yet, maybe never, who ever he is he's good. No one's as good as me however." He smirks cockily, the smirk is wiped off his face when a message appears on his tablet. He swipes the screen which activates skype or something. 

"May I speak with Beth Aquae please?" A familiar voice inquires politely.

"Peter!" I shout and snatch the tablet. "What are you doing?"

"Hacking SHIELD, calling my long lost cousin, ya know, the usual stuff." He grins, "So what are you doing at SHIELD?"

"You would know, you hacked into their classified data. I'm working with the Avengers. When are you and Eliza coming to visit?"

"As soon as you prepare the water."

I hand the tablet back to Stark and pull some water together to form a person sized puddle on the floor. The water begins to glow and then Eliza and Peter tumble out and a voice laughs in the background "Have fun kiddos, call me if you need me."

"So you're the hacker." Tony growls and then shifts to a more jovial tone, "Nice work kid."

"Thank you sir, most difficult hack of my life, but well worth it." my brown haired, lanky cousin grins and pushes his wire frame glasses up his nose. Eliza shakes her curly honey blonde hair and readjusts her own wire framed glasses, "We brought the milk truck. Parked it in the garage. pretty nice collection of cars.

"What are you doing here?" I ask as my cousins get up off the floor.

"What do you think we're doing? Rescuing our little cousin we are, right Eliza?"

"Yep, pretty much."

"How?" Stark smirks, "Look unarmed to me."

Peter moves and Tony find himself tangled up on the floor and Eliza is pointing a gun at Steve. 

"A yo-yo? Really?" Stark rolls his eyes as he tries to untangle himself.

"Nope, a flammable yo-yo." Peter replies flames igniting on his hands and trailing up his arms and down his legs, slowly spreading. "Get the picture? One nice toasted billionaire."

"They treating you alright Beth?" Eliza asks gently never taking her eyes off of Steve.

"Duck!" I shout, seeing Thor in the doorway. Eliza doesn't duck in time and the lightning hits her square in the chest. It doesn't seem to effect her though electricity crackles around her body. She turns and I see storms swirling in her eyes. Not a good sign, The electricity grows, branching out over her skin. The lightning gathers in her hands and shoots back at Thor, "Nice try lightning bug, but I'm StormsKin."

Rain begins to fall  from the ceiling and clouds gather and churn above our heads, swirling around Eliza. Lightning flashes and her dark blue eyes fill with wrath. Wind howls whipping furniture into walls where it shatters. Peter's fires are extinguished by the rain as he fights against the wind to reach Eliza, "Eliza, stop. You are not the storm. You're going to hurt somebody. Eliza!"

She turns towards him and the storm recedes. one final gust of wind slams a chair into Thor, who remains unfazed. Eliza shakes her head as if trying to rid her self of Nargles. Finally she snaps out of it, "Oh my goodness. I lost control again, I am so sorry."

She collapses on the floor in a dead faint. Peter rushes over and scoops her up. Peter deposits Eliza on my bed and then the two of us head to the meeting room to deal with the rest of the avengers.

"They are my cousins!" I shout banging my fist on the table, "You accepted me why not them."

"She can't control herself!" Stark yells back.

"As if Banner doesn't have his moments." Nat rolls her eyes.

"She's right. I say we accept Eliza and Peter." Banner states calmly as possible.

"As do I." Uncle Bucky whispers.

"I vote no." Stark retorts.

"I also vote no." Wanda mutters looking down at her lap.

"Yes." Sam says, "With some help from Bruce Eliza should be able to get the storm under control."

"I also vote in favor of the Aquae cousins joining us. They are good people, did we not all struggle with our powers once? 'Tis not her fault the storm rages, I too know how the storm calls for vengeance. Her heart is good as is his. I believe that they should join us." Thor rumbles.

"Yes." Nat says, "Clint would agree with me."

"Am I a voting member of this group?" Loki wonders aloud.

"NO!" Everyone shouts at him simultaneously.

"I would also like to vote in favor of the Aquae cousins joining our team. That is a majority in favor of so Eliza and Peter will be joining our team." Steve shrugs, "They will have to undergo some basic training like Beth, after that they will follow the same training regimen as the rest of us. Do your cousins have any special skill or hobbies?"

"Peter is good with computers, Eliza is a tinkerer like me, all three of us are geniuses. Eliza is trained in sword fighting and is an excellent shot with her handgun. Peter prefers projectiles; yo-yos, ninja stars, knives, and fire. Eliza tries to avoid using lightning but can control wind and such without too much danger."

"Alright, you had best get your cousins settled in. There's a few spare rooms on the main hallway." Seve sighs, "We've nearly doubled the population of the tower in past few days. First you and Buky, then Loki, and now Eliza and Peter."

"Eliza can move to her own room tomorrow, but not tonight she won't wake for at least twelve hours, probably closer to eighteen." I state and get up to go to bed, all this arguing has made me tired. "Goodnight everyone."
