Our new base was an abandoned farm house in Russia. It was painfully cold. We were sitting around a fire we had put together on the cobble stone floor. A pitiful pile of wood that created a pitiful little flame. That gave off a pitiful amount of heat.

Parker and I were wrapped up in the large red hood. Clutching onto each other to share body warmth. Justine was still dressed in her own suit. Her own long cape had wrapped around her on its own accord. She seemed perfectly warm. Billy and Calvin were sitting in the corner being silent.

"How did they find us?" Parker asked

"How did they get there is the real question," said Calvin, pulling his knees up to his chest.

"I think she was here before the others got there," I replied

"How many did you see?" asked Parker, with a strange tension in his voice.

"Just the Captain and his little girlfriend," I said shaking my head

"I wonder if there were the only ones on the island," said Billy

"The only way they could've gotten to the island would be by hitching a ride on the submarine," Justine said sourly. "You just had to have it, didn't you? I could have gotten us all there with a snap of my fingers. I am tired of your doubts."

"They arent doubts," replied Calvin his voice raising "I dont trust you, No one does."

"Hey," interjected Parker

"Is that so?" she asked, standing up to challenge him. "Well if I hadnt gotten us out of there like I did we would all be still in the country and with in their reach."

"I would rather be tortured by Fury and his army of geeks than sitting here listening to you telling us how you saved the day," said Calvin, getting to his feet.

"Thats enough," said Parker

"Well what exactly did you do? Chemistro? What are you going to do now? Turn the snow into gold? Thats about all your good for!" yelled Justine pulling a gun on him.

"Thats enough, I said" Parker stood up

"I'll show you what I'm good for," said Calvin, pointing his palm at Justine. The spinning circle in the middle that was somewhat like the repulsor blasters on Tony's suite started to whiz around.

I stepped forward and blew the two back away from each other. Into the rickety walls of house. They sat there on the ground on either ends of the house looking dumb struck. They got up on their feet and looked at me angrily.

"Now is not the time to pick on each other," I commanded

"So now you talk?" Asked Calvin "After all this, you decide to take the reins now?"

"I'll take the reins whenever I want Calvin. You all elected me, I'll do what I want to." I replied "Now listen here, we need to show them that we arent playing around. We are a force that they can not contend with. I dont care how many magical ponies they pull out of their butts. We can take them any day in a fight. And running just now, didnt do much for our reputation."

Justine opened her mouth to speak. I put up my finger.

"I'm aware we had no choice. But we need to remind them that they arent the only big kid on the playground," I said looking around at them.

"How do we do that?" asked Parker from behind me

"We attack them on home base," I stated

"Which one?" Scoffed Calvin

"They're probably controlling Stark industries at the moment," I replied "We'll take it over, use it for our own purposes."

"Tony would have wanted it passed down to you anyway," Said Parker nodding his head
