Illusions (The Avengers)

1. Teenage Troubles

Ivy Loki Wolf could handle seven hour training sessions, psycho hydra monsters, and nose-diving into abandoned buildings, but if there was one thing she could not handle, it was high school. As a sixteen year-old girl who could take down the Destroyer in Asgard, school should have been simple, a simple breeze.

"You're an Asgardian- Frost Giant Avenger Nature Queen, for God sakes! You need something normal in your life," Tony always told her, and he was right. Because of her father she had gotten the Frost Giant gene, and obviously she was an Avenger in-training, Tony Stark being her mentor. Because of her mother, she was also an immortal goddess-like creature known as a Nature Queen.

Guardian of the dimensions, protectors of the universe- whatever you called them, that was the typical responsibility of a Nature Queen. Each inhumanly beautiful with super speed, strength, and a magical ability of some sort. However, all of this fancy biology did not help her get all of her juggle Hydra attacks and turning homework in on time.

"Well. This should be fun," Tristan said, leaning back in the drivers seat of his black Ferrari convertible, his dark hair falling over his sunglasses.

Ivy looked over at him in disagreement, running a hand through her short curls.

"Remind me why we have to be here?" she asked, glaring at the tall white building across the parking lot.

"Because we are three professionally trained teenage killers," Austin put in from the back seat," getting out of school would be a little too easy."

"Besides, we're still legal American citizens and we still are susceptible to follow the laws of-"

"Alright, alright!" Ivy waved his words away, he easily rivaled his father when it came to talking people to death," How long do we have?"

"About five minutes," Austin replied, glancing at the Apple watch on his wrist.

Groaning, Ivy opened the door and slid off the smooth leather seats, shouldering her gold messenger bag. Somehow, Tony had gotten her a free period first thing in the morning, for which she was grateful when thinking of the late nights and early mornings to come.

They walked up the steps to the front door, Ivy was already dreading the mass that would greet them at the door as soon as they were spotted. Being three of the most famous teenagers currently living, it wasn't easy to have a nice, quiet day at school, it wasn't like she could hide in the background.

"Shall we?" Tristan still had his sunglasses on, which Ivy swiped from his face and shoved in her bag before he could open the doors. Hello junior year.

The bell rang just as they walked in, instantly catching the eye of the students shuffling out of first period. Ivy had already grabbed Austin and was dragging him through the crowd, besides, Tristan had their attention just fine.

"Thanks," Austin told her once they'd made their way down the hall and away from the frenzy of students, smoothing his gelled-up blonde hair.

"It'll die down in a few days," Ivy assured herself aloud.

"Yeah, I think Tristan disagrees." He looked back over, where the cheerleading squad was now fawning over Tristan's leather jacket.

Ivy chuckled, classic Stark.

"Ivy! Ivy!" Blue-eyed and blonde haired cheerleader captain Chloe James was sprinting in their direction, a grin on her face as she threw herself at Ivy.

"Hey, Chloe!" Ivy managed, the girl had a grip.

Chloe hopped back, a grin on her lips. Ivy had always liked her, unlike the others on the cheerleading squad, Chloe had a brain and they had bonded over that.
