Peyton stood outside the door to her dad's office, "I know its here Lawrence", an unrecognizable voice spoke from behind the ajar french doors. She stayed to the side and cocked her head, what could he mean?

    "You're wrong. You wont find it here, and you will never find it. I will make it my dying wish", Glenn Lawrence responded which only made Peyton more frightened. "Well now you're just being a little too literal", the deep voice spoke and a click was heard as he cocked his gun. Peyton eyes widened and she slightly gasped, hoping deep down maybe it was her father's gun aimed at this angry man and not the other way around.

    "You and your filthy company will never, and should never, hold power like this", her father spat out while looking the man dead in the eyes. "Speaking to soon", the man tsked and held his gun arm up a bit more. "Say good-bye, and just know... this will be our greatest weapon yet". Glenn removed his eyes from the man and at the door, were he made eye contact with his only daughter. Tears filled her eyes as she saw the look on her father's face.

Bang.


Peyton shot up as she woke up from a nap she didn't even notice she took. The memory of her father's death wouldn't stop playing in her head.


"Peyton!" Mrs. Lawrence called from downstairs and she groaned as she got out of bed and proceeded down the stairs. As she took the last step she saw a familiar face.


"Mom, what is Tony Stark doing in our living room?" Peyton asked as she cautiously took another step forward.
"So you're New York's spitfire?" Tony asked, which in return he got a hard stare. "I'm here about S.H.I.E.L.D.", Tony added with a tight sarcastic smile. Peyton just gained a confused face and her mother spoke, "Well I think i'll just leave you to it".

Peyton looked after her mom as she left the room and glanced back at the Billionaire and raised a brow. "I don't know if you've heard, probably not, but S.H.I.E.L.D. has this idea of the Avengers Initiative. They planned you and I to be a part of it", Tony shrugged, not knowing how exactly to word all this to a teenager who literally saved New York not too long ago.


"Oh", Peyton's face still looked confused but she nodded nonetheless. "So.. what exactly do we.. do?" Peyton felt awkward and unknowledgeable on the subject, which is a feeling she doesn't get quite often.

"Oh, you know. The basics. Fight crime. Save people. But they want us to take down an Asgardian God", it came out of Tony's mouth so nonchalantly that Peyton had to do a double-take.

"Oh? Just us?" Her eyes grew wide, How the hell does two people take down a god? Even if they are advanced in the way they are. "C'mon, with a GPA like yours i thought you'd be able to figure it out", Tony teased.


Peyton just sent him a glare. "So, who else is in the superhero boyband".


Tony let out a laugh and slapped down a file on the coffee table next to them. "Better do some homework kid", Tony's sarcastic smile returned and he turned and walked towards the penthouse's elevator.


Peyton gained an incredulous look and she picked up the file, looking through the faces of the people she will now have to work with. "What the hell did i get myself into", she whispered as she sat down on the white sofa behind her and began her 'homework'.
