I run away towards the park. Halfway there, I trip and fall. Unable to move from the injuries from the fight, I black out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up to an uneasy feeling. I look at my body to see most of my injuries have healed. "JARVIS, can you tell me who's all here?" No response. "JARVIS?" Oh no. I get off the hospital bed and find my way to the kitchen. Did Tony fail another experiment? I reach for an apple.

Before I take a bite, it gets shot out of my hand. "Clint! I was going to eat that." The lights turn on, and I'm surrounded by the team. "Surprise!" I look on the counter and see a cake that says Congrats Black Rose! I smile, and we dig in to cake.

After the cake, the Avengers go to a different floor for an actual party. Meanwhile, I sit on the roof, watching the busy lights. I'm not lonely for long. "Hey." I say. "How'd you know I was here?" I giggle, "You're very loud." Spider-Man walks up and crouches next to me. "Really, I would have never known." I laugh and turn my head to him, "You're also slow too. I  heard you were one-upped by a new hero." He laughs. I know I've heard that laugh before. "Eh. She still has a lot to learn, but could make a great ally." I roll my eyes jokingly, then stand up. I walk along the edge of the roof, perfectly balanced. I stop at a corner of the building and look down. "What are you doing?" Spider-Man asks. I look at him and say, "Jumping," before I jump off the roof. I look up and watch him aim his web towards me. The web quickly catches me, and I climb up laughing. "What were you thinking Iris?! Were you trying to scare me?!" After my laughing fit subsides, I say, "I wanted to see how trustworthy you are, Peter." He laughs nervously, "Very funny." My smile fades and a glare takes its place. "Quit lying. I know you're lying. I've heard you laugh. You said my name. How am I not going to find out." He sighs, then pulls off his mask,"Promise you won't tell?" I nod. "Good." I watch as Peter puts his mask and webs back towards his house. I smile and head down to my room. I lay on my bed and sigh, already bored. I close my eyes when I hear heavy footsteps walk over to me. I keep my eyes closed and wait for the man's next move. He reaches out to cover my mouth, but I kick him somewhere no man wants to get kicked. I bring my elbow to his back and he goes down. A few more men break through my window. I get ready to fight. I throw punches and kicks, knocking out the men and also wearing myself out. After taking out all the men, I stand there panting. I stand up straight and head towards the party to alert the team what happened, when a gag is placed over my mouth and the world becomes black.

Tony's POV

I'm flirting with a cute girl, when out of nowhere I hear a faint noise. Broken glass. I excuse myself and walk over to Bruce and Nat. "Did you hear that too?" Bruce asks. I nod. "We've got to check it out." The three of us go in the general direction of the noise, when Nat realizes something. "Guys, Iris wasn't at the party." At this point, we all run to Iris's room. We get inside. There is broken glass and blood everywhere, but no Iris. Ally is in the room crying. "JARVIS! Play security tapes from Iris's room." "Right away Mr. Stark." The AI replies. We watch Iris lay down on the bed and a HYDRA agent walks to her. She kicks him hard. It hurt me just watching. We watch as she fights all these agents. Once she knocked them out, the started to walk out the door. An agent recovered and put a gag over her mouth. She falls limp, and the agents take her away. The video ends, and we stand there, speechless. I look over at Nat, "Call Underoos (Is that how you spell cit?). We're gonna need him if we want to save Iris." Natasha nods, then walks out of the room. Everyone else sits on the couch. "I can't believe we were supposed to keep her 'contained' She is just a kid!" Bruce shouts, startling all of us. "Don't worry, we'll get her back. And when we do, she isn't going to be a part of the mission Fury signed us to." Steve places a hand on Bruce's shoulder.

Peter's POV

Ring Ring. Ring Ring. I lazily pick up my phone and answer. "Hello?" "Peter, it's Natasha." "Oh, hey. What's up?" Her voice becomes shaky, "W-we need your help to save a...victim, from HYDRA." "Sure, who?" "I-Iris Clawheart." My phone falls from my hand. "Peter? You there? Peter?" "I'll be at the tower in ten." I pick up my phone and hang up. This isn't happening. I get into my suit and swing my way to the Avengers Tower.
