"You're coming back to the tower. Get your things." Natasha ordered.

"No." Madeline scoffed, earning a surprised look from Nat.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm eighteen. Legally I'm an adult, so I don't actually have to return to tower. My father has no say in what I do anymore."

"Maybe you should think about moving out then."

"I'll move out when Tony comes up with the eighteen years worth of child support that he never payed." Maddy promised, and then grabbed her purse and jacket and walked out.

She met her friends in the lobby, ignored their questions, and then took everyone for a birthday lunch at a fancy Italian restaurant.

Lunch consisted of mojitos and pasta, a favourite food of Madeline's.

"So you're really not going to tell us anything about the avengers? You've been living with them for almost a month." Enzo asked.

"And I'm sick of them. I'd much rather be living with you guys."

"Unfortunately, that's not an option." Ethan groaned. "I take care of mum and Lindsay, Enzo and Rhys are too poor to move out for another three years, and Jackson..?"

"Oh, im on house arrest." He deadpanned, earning confused looks from everyone around the table.

"And you managed to get to another country?"

"They let me off for four days, I explained it was a matter of great importance."

"Celebrating my birthday?"

"No, I told them you died." He smiled, and then looked to the boys around the table. "If you ever meet officer Berkshire, look really sad. In fact, just burst into tears."

"Okay, then. Back to today. Plans?" Rhys questioned, but the smirk on his face indicated he already had an answer to that question.

"You tell us." Maddy said, smiling from ear to ear as the waiter bought them another round of mojitos.

"I've mapped out a journey that will take us to all of the finest bars and clubs that New York City has to offer. And a restaurant beforehand because Maddy is not drinking on an empty stomach."

"How about we just fill up on pasta here, and then go straight to the bars, and then when it gets dark, hit the clubs?" Maddy suggested, not wanting to wait any longer to begin her birthday celebrations.

"Alright, but first, we need to hit our hotel. We got you presents."
