Playing Games (Stark's Daughter 4)

Chapter 2

We reach the Avengers headquarters, scan my security card and go into the elevator.

"Im still surprised that this building hasn't been bombed or set on fire." I announce.

"Yep, its been targeted lots though." He points out.

I look to my left and see Hope's really short skirt.

"Pull your skirt down." I demand, she turns to me, rolls her eyes and pulls it down the tiniest bit.

"And more, missy." Zeke orders next to me and she pulls it down more.

We reach the right floor and Colson stands in front of me.

"The Avengers kids are in conference room 3." He announces.

"Come on." I say as i head down the corridor, Hope and Lucas following me.

I open the door to conference room 3 and the kids sit at the table, drawing in colouring books with pencils scattered across the desk and on the floor.

"Hope and Lucas, this is Idun." I introduce as i point to a blonde haired 6 year old. She lifts her head at her name, her long blonde hair in plaits with red ribbon entwined. Thor's 6 year old daughter.

"This is Amelia." Pointing at a brown haired girl with bright green eyes that looks up at me from her phone. Doctor Banner's 10 year old daughter.

"Merci." I point to a black haired little girl, with a thin face and brown eyes. Black Widow and Hakweye's 6 year old daughter.

"And you know Aiden." I point out as he races up to me and i hug the black haired, pale seven year old.

"Hello, sis." He says, smiling and showing his pearly white teeth.

"Hello, little brother." I reply, ruffling his hair and placing him back onto the ground.

"Can you look after them please?" I ask, looking at Hope.

"Me? Look after these 5 kids?" She questions, her face full on confusion and teenage attitude.

"Yes, only for a bit."

"Dad?" She whines, her eyes flicking to Zeke's, attempting the puppy dog eyes.

"Its only for a bit." He points out, taking my hand and leading me out.

"We're in conference room 1." Colson announces.

We walk into the conference room where all the Avengers are sat at the table in the middle, all discussing something.

"Hey, kiddo." Dad says, swinging his legs onto the table and leaning back in his chair.

"Isn't this just really to do with Thor?" I ask as i sit next to Captain and Zeke sits next to me.

"Yes, but as he's part of the Avengers, we all get involved." Colson explains, standing in front of the projector.

"But Im not part of the Avengers, so why ask me to come?" I question.

They all glance at me and each other.

"What's going on?" I ask.

"We want you to join the Avengers." Hawkeye announces, smiling at me and Black Widow clasps his hand on the table.

"Wow. Id love to! That's amazing! Thank you." I whisper, smiling from ear to ear.

"Good. Right, the problem at hand." Colson claps his hands and Doctor Banner suddenly wakes up opposite me, i hide a laugh.

"We've had a message from Loki." He announces, showing the written message on the projector.

"Im getting help from someone very close to you. I will return and destroy the city and my big brother." It says.
