Teen Avengers

Chapter 23 - Antonio

The mysterious woman's first game is in Africa. We are riding the hellacarior there, so about a 17 hour trip. We don't know what we're looking for yet, but She told us that She would give us a clue when we arrived in Africa and the helicarrier is out of sight. It was probably had to do with the fact that our parents were taking us there and She didn't want them helping us.
The mood on the hellacarior is grim. No one but Nathan had ever been on a real mission before. But even he appeared scared at times.
  Everyone was working so hard we never really got a break to talk or hang out with each other. Our parents were busy stuffing our minds with information. Black Widow and Hawk Eye were training Nathan to breaking point. Thor and Anzo were outside of the Hellicarrior flying around. Since Anzo recently learned he could fly, Thor, his father was teaching him how to fly the "proper" way. Sophia, Heidi, and Steve are soaring together. Adela was attempting to teach Mallory the basics of sword fighting and archery. Mallory's dad however decided not to come. He did however leave her a gift. It was a new suit that would expand into her Hulk form whenever she grew, and then shrink back down. It was like a one piece swim suit that went all the way up to her neck. It was white in the middle and purple steaks on the sides under her arms. Steve and Sophia also got new suits. They were the same as the last ones but just built in with more durability.  
   My dad and Jarvis were working on a new iron man suit together. And I am waiting for them to finish. They were making an ironman suit for me and Jarvis. It had always been a dream of mine to become the next iron man.
"Antonio!" My dad yelled. "Come here I think your going to like it!" Excitement filled through me and I ran to them.
  The suit was beautiful. It was blue and silver with a little glowing diamond on the chest piece.
  "You like it?" Jarvis asked dripping with sweat and grim. "I call it the Blue Steal. My first model and its for you." A huge smile spread across my face and I ran up and hugged it.
  "It's beautiful! How do I use it? Dad can you teach me?" I asked whipping my head back around to face him. He laughed.
"I don't half to. Darvis here will teach you." He said putting his hand on the shoulder of my new iron suit.
   "Darvis?" I asked confused.
   "Dad's suit used to have a "Jarvis" system which would help him through his missions." Jarvis said.
  "Go ahead and step inside and meet your new best friend Darvis!" My dad said pointing to the suit.
  I walked up next to it and turned around just like my dad would do. I could feel the suit breaking off and forming around me. My suit.
  "Hello Antonio." A strange deep voice said to me.
"What, who's there?" I asked.
  "I'm Darvis. I'm Herero help you. Would you like to learn how to use your new suit?"
  "Oh god yes."
      •              •               •
  After a good three hours I had perfected my new suit. Flying was a little difficult and I wasn't very good with the missiles. I did however learn everything else. I went back to where my dad and brother were.
  My brother had blue and grey forearm armor on his one right arm. A weird looking blue and silver tool belt around his waist. His shoes were replaced with iron boots. Jarvis noticed me staring and turned around.
  "Antonio, come here. Check out my tool belt it's really cool!" I walked over.
  "It takes the matter of objects and shrinks them down so I can fit really big things into it with out any extra weight." Jarvis said excitedly pulling out a wooden stool out of his tool belt.
  "That's really cool! But where's your suit? You only have one are missile and iron shoes."
  "Well I'm not planning on doing much fighting. I didn't plan on doing it all but dad persisted. So we made an agreement. Therefore I'm only wearing half a suit."
  "Ok that sounds good..." I answered only 50% understanding what he just said.
  "Team meeting in the conference room." Nathan's voice broke out over the intercom.
  Me and Jarvis looked at our dad giving him a questioning look. He nodded towards the door. We nodded in return and ran out to the conference room.
  When we entered the room everyone was there sitting around a round table. Two seats were open between Mallory and Heidi. Jarvis sat next to Mallory and I sat next to Heidi.
   Nathan slowly stood and began to speak. "Well, welcome to the first Teen Avengers meeting. We've been challenged to a game. A game we know nothing of but are forced to face. A woman we know nothing about challenged us, even though none of us have meet her before. But one of us had to do something to push her to the point of making a game for us to play that will probably end in our deaths. Every villain has a motive. So that leads me to ask has anyone ever seen or at least met her before?" Nathan finished looking around the room. No one said anything. Seeing that no one was going to say anything Nathan kept going.
  "Anyways," Nathan started. "There's a new villain out there challenging us and its our duty to stop her before she can hurt anyone else. It's our job to protect the people of America whether that means we live or die." Nathan said sitting down. The mood went from anxious to scared and dark. Everyone has fear in their eyes. No one dared move or speak. I knew we would never be able to function if we were all scared out of our minds. So I figured I would try to lighten the mood.
  "So, if it is our job to protect the people of America does that kind of make us super heroes?" I asked.
   "I guess so..." Nathan said unsure of where I was going with this.
  "Well I say if we're going to be super heroes we need  super hero names. Does anyone already have one?" I asked.
"I do." Sophia said. "I'm the White Falcon."
  "Good that's one down eight to go." I stated.
   "I think Heidi's, Adela's, and Anzo's are rather obvious. Heidi's is Adelheid, Adela's Is well Adela and Anzo's is Anzo. So that way if you go under cover your name will be Enzo. Any objections?" I asked.
  "Do our names half to be our super hero names?" Anzo asked.
  "I don't know ask the mighty Thor." I said flashing a smile at him. Anzo rolled his eyes.
  "What about you? Are you going to be iron man number two?" Anzo replied with a smirk.
  "Funny." I said standing up. "Darvis!" I called. My suit came flying to me and formed itself.
  "I was actually thinking something a little cooler. The Blue Steel." I said making Anzo swallow his words.
   "I like the Blue Steel!" Sophia said making me smile from ear to ear. "What about Nathan?" Sophia asked.
  "How about a name where your parents names are smashed together?" Anzo suggested.
   "Oh I know." Steve said grinning." How about Black Eye? "Not only is it a smash of your parents names and you all ready have a black eye!" The table erupted In laughter and Nathan's face turned blood red. Nathan put on his sunglasses to cover his black eye but said nothing.
  "Steve's turn!" Sophia said smiling.
"You could always be captain America." I suggested.
  "No, no, that was my dad not me." Steve said his tone growing dark.
   "Well it's got to do something with America though." I said.
  "How about American Patriot?" Mallory suggested.
   "I like it!" Steve said. "I shall now be the American Patriot! Mallory's is also another one of the obvious ones." Steve said.
"It is?" Mallory asked.
  "Yes yours is She-Hulk." Steve said. Mallory didn't seem to thrilled by this but she nodded her head in agreement.
  "That leaves one person." I said. "Jarvis."
   "Hmm I don't know." Nathan said.
  "How about-" Sophia's voice was cut off by a knock on the door.
   "Come in." Nathan called. Nick Fury opened the door.
  "Suit up gentleman. Where here." Nick said solemnly. We all got up and gathered our things.
  The  helicarrier dropped us off at a remote place in Africa. We stood there as the  helicarrier flew away.
  This was it. We're an our own. The game had begun.
