"This is where you will be staying." You followed Mr. Stark into a large living area with doors that led to what you presumed would be bedrooms and bathrooms. "We hope you soon find yourself at home, I know moving all the way to the US must be a huge thing for a girl so young. We're all here if you need anything."
"Thank you, Mr. Stark." You gave him a quick hug to show your appreciation for all they had done for you so far. You didn't expect Tony Stark to be so caring towards someone he barely knew, you always thought he would be quite rude and narcissistic due to the way he portrayed in the media.
"Please, call me Tony." You nodded in response, checking off a mental note to remember in the future to just refer to him by his Christian name.
"Give us a shout if you need anything." Tony spoke as he closed the door behind him. You glanced around the large living space, shocked that you had it a to yourself. You always imagined living in a flat as beautiful as the one you were currently in.
You previously lived in the U.K, working for the Secret Intelligence Service but your presence was requested here in the States by the Avengers. Everyone knew who the Avengers were and to turn them down would be an awfully big mistake. They had found out about you and your 'powers' and knew that you would be a great asset to their team. You were more than happy to accept their off to let you join them.
You were pulled from your thoughts by a knock at your door. You hesitantly got up, not sure who would be knocking because you weren't properly acquainted with anybody yet. As you pulled the door open, you were met face to face with a brunette boy, no older than yourself.
"Hi!" He waved enthusiastically, though you could sense nerves underneath the confident demeanour. "I'm Peter."
The name was familiar to you. Peter, Peter, Peter. You rattled your brain so you could pin an identity to him. Finally the answer came to you.
"Peter Parker? As in Spider-Man?" He nodded, a cheesy grin gracing his lips. "That is so cool."
"It's not that cool." He awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. "I mean, c'mon dude. You can actually control the elements! Do you realise how awesome that is?" He fawned over you, embarrassing you slightly.
"So I've been told." You chuckled yourself. "Well, I'm Sim." You held your hand out for him to shake.
"Oh, I already know your name." He cringed slightly as the words came out his mouth. "And that sounded slightly creepy. I'm sorry."
"It's fine." You laughed, leaning against the door frame. "Well, I've gotta get unpacked and stuff. I'll see you at dinner? Whenever that is." You offered.
"Yeah, sure! Of course, that'd be cool. Great. Awesome. See you then." He waved, awkwardly stumbling down the long corridor. You laughed at the boy, he seemed nice and you were excited to get to know him.

"So, this is your locker." Peter pointed to the large grey, metal locker that loomed over you. There were hundreds of them, scaling all the way down the school hall. Yours was covered in stickers that must have been stuck on from the lockers previous occupants.
