Adopted by the Widow

Chapter 3

As I rushed through the marble floored halls, I suddenly bumped into somebody.
"I am so, so sorry!" I said as I looked up at them.
"Hey, it's okay!" He replied.
"Wait, I know you! You're Peter Parker!"
"Oh- um, yes, I am! And who are you?"
"I'm Daniela, nice to meet you. I'm new around here. I'm Natasha's new daughter."
"Oh- yes! I've heard of you. Hey, you know, you're really cute."
"Are you flirting with me?"
"Maybe."
"Well, if so, I'd just like to say, you're pretty cute yourself."
"Thank you! Would I be able to take you out sometime, Daniela?"
"Yeah, sure, why not?" I replied. "Here's my number, text me sometime, we'll sort out a date."
"Great! Hey, um, were you heading to the main hall?"
"Yes, I was. I'm supposed to be meeting my Auntie Yelena there at 7:00." I looked at Peter as he glanced down at his watch.
"Hey um- just so you know, it's 7:10 right now."
"Oh crap- " I said. "I better go, see you later, bye!" I rushed off before he had a chance to say another word. At last I arrived at the entrance to the hall. "Auntie Lena!"
"Daniela Romanoff! Where have you been? I've been worried sick!"
"I'm so so sorry! I lost track of time and then i bumped into someone in the hall and we got to talking and we- "
"Daniela, it's fine. Don't worry. Anyways, who were you talking to?"
"Oh, just Peter."
"Peter who? Quill or Parker?"
"Parker. Spider-man?"
"That little- what were you both talking about?"
"Well I just  apologised for bumping into him, he called me cute, we arranged a date.."
"...excuse me? A date? He called you cute?"
"Oh! Um.. is something wrong?"
"Well, let's just say, your mum, Clint, Tony and everyone are gonna be a bit...overprotective."
"Damn."
"Anyway, let's go in."
"Okay!" I smiled at her. As we entered the hall, Kate Bishop ran up to me. Kate is my best friend in this place, as we don't have much of an age gap and she is one of the other youngest girls here. She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a hug, I did the same. "Hey Daniela!" she said. "You look so pretty!"
"Awh, thank you! You look so pretty too Kate!"
"Thank you! Do you want to go and get something from the bar?"
"Sure!"
"Don't get drunk Daniela! You're too young!"
shouted Auntie Lena as I walked off with Kate to the bar.
"I won't!" I shouted back.
Me and Kate giggled to each other as we ran over to the bar.
As we approached the bar, Tony started giving a speech up on the stage.
"Here he goes." sighs Kate. "He's practiced his speech with me, and he rambles on and on..."
Suddenly, the ceiling comes clattering down. Everybody screamed. I put my hands up in the air to defend myself - which is useless against a falling roof of course. Kate hid me behind her back as we stood there, hoping that something inevitable would happen. Except - as I stood there with my hands above my head - the roof started to levitate. I brought my hands down and breathed a sigh of relief, until the roof started falling again.
