Iron Girl (2nd Generation Avengers)

Chapter 1 - Welcome Back

Paige Stark's P.O.V

I was just after getting through the front doors of my high school (Marvel High) when I hear a girlish scream come from behind me. I turn around to see the ecstatic ginger haired Jerri Rogers. "Hi Paige!" she giggled, wrapping her arms around me and nearly knocking me with the force of her suffocating grasp that she calls a hug. "Hello," I smile, trying not to scream since I know that I'd hurt my already sore throat. "Are you sick or did your dad tell you to shut up?" Jerri asked. "Yeah I am..." I sigh, rolling my chocolate brown eyes. "I blame Dean!" she laughs pointing to Dean Barton. "I didn't catch it from Dean..." I roll my eyes. Dean comes up to us with a confused expression. "What am I being blamed for?" he questioned us. "I'm sick and Jerri thinks you gave it to me," I nod, as we both look at Jerri (who also has a crush on Dean) "Well... Anyways... I'm going to go back to talking to the others..." Dean mumbles after Jerri went extremely red in the face.

Dean walked back over to his group of friends and I looked around for my dad - who had disappeared... Typical. "Who ya' looking for?" Jerri asked, poking my shoulder. "My dad..." I replied. "Oh... Then I am afraid I cannot help you because I do not know-" "Big words don't suit you Jerri," I laugh before she can finishing her sentence. "I know right..." she rolls her eyes and says 'I know right' in a typical blonde voice.

"So... When do you think were going to get a chance to have a party Paige?" Jerri asked. "Saturday... Back to school is always an excuse for an awesome party!" I nod, scanning the room to see who was actually here today.

I sit down on the benches that were placed behind Jerri and I as I look down at my Ark Reactor.

Let me explain how I need an Ark Reactor. When I was thirteen I was at home and then :

3 Years Earlier

I was watching TV with my dad when all of a sudden I hear a loud explosion go off outside. I automatically yelp. "Stay here!" my dad yells over the still ringing sound of the very loud explosion. I see him run downstairs (probably to get the Iron Man suit) I got up and ran out to the backyard where my mom was at the time. I saw her looking over the roof of the house. "Get back inside Paige!" she trembles, pointing to inside the house. "B-but an explos-" "I know what happened Paige just please get inside!" she says, brushing her light ginger hair out of her face and pushing me towards the glass doors. Before I could get inside I was blown back with another very loud and bright explosion which hit the house this time. I feel myself fall into the pool, but the water felt like I just fell through a window and a million tiny pieces of shattered glass was stabbing into my back one by one. That's the last I remembered before I woke up...

2 Months Later

I wake up to my dad sitting on a hospital chair beside my bed. I try to sit up, but I let a loud groan out as I feel a pain in my back and chest. I look down and gasp. Ark Reactor... "W-What? Where am I... W-Why do I have this in my chest?!" I begin to panic, I didn't know where I was, why I was there, why I had an Ark Reactor... "Calm down Paige... Your in the hospital. The explosion caused you... You know what... Lets save that for another day I'm just happy your alive," my mom says, breaking down in tears and hugging me. "I... What?" I was still confused... Why was she so happy that I was still alive? "You nearly died Paige! The bomb that went off in the house nearly killed you... Luckily you could use an Ark Reactor to keep you alive..." my dad says, sitting beside me on my bed. "Oh... I'm not very sure how well I'll cope with that?" I mumble, feeling weak. "You've been in a coma for two months, lets focus on recovering from that first, yeah?" my dad says. "W-wh-what?!" I gasp. "Tony... You didn't have to put everything on her straight away..." my mom whispers over me. I concisely feel my dad roll his eyes from behind me. I grab both my parents and hug them - stopping the fight between them.

Now

"So, how was your Summer Paige?" she asked. "It was... Good, I went to Paris... Watched Netflix... Yeah pretty good," I smiled, scooting over to let Jerri sit beside me. "Cool! Did you see the Effile Tower?" she asked, checking her phone after it buzzed.

"Yeah! It was really cool, my dad brought me up there. I freaked out because of how high it was..." I giggled, remembering my encounter with the top of the tower. I nearly tripped, and I yelled like a little girl and my dad caught me and laughed for nearly five minutes...

"Your such an acrophobe," Jerri rolled her eyes. "Shut up Stacy," I glared at her, saying her real name. Her name is really Stacy, but she thinks it's too girly so she let's us call her Jerri.

"No! I just don't like the big huge... Okay maybe I am..." I muttered, smiling awkwardly.

"Don't worry... I don't like spiders," she giggled hugging me.
