Chapter Two - New Problems

NOTE: Okay so I did change a little bit ahead but Bruce just helps. He isn't in any other part of the book.

Lizzy's POV
I drop my bag on the floor in surprise. What is a playboy-genius-billionaire-philanthropist doing in my house? In my living room? "You must be Elizabeth Hart." He says. "Um-You're Tony Stark." I say. A long pause of silence fills the awkward gap. "What are you doing here?" I ask. "Well, Pet- a source told me that you had something- strange injected into your bloodstream. Is that correct?" Tony says. "Um-er- Yes, that is true." I reply. My palms start to sweat. Damn. Why am I so nervous? Maybe because THE Tony Stark is standing in my living room like nothing is going on. "Would you be uncomfortable or feel attacked if I take a look at your arm?" He asks. I sit down on the couch and I roll up my sleeve, slowly. "Please, I don't know what's happening. It just started to sting at lunch today and it was spreading and-" I start to tear up. "Shhh, It's okay. Did you experience powers or anything?" Tony asks softly. "Umm no...Could you take my blood and take it back and study it? I have a dinner plan with my friend Peter and I really need to get ready-" "Parker?" Tony asks. "Um yes, how'd you know?" "He works for me- Well, it's an internship." Tony replies. "Oh yeah! How could I forget about the one thing Peter looks forward to at the end of everyday?" I say. I facepalm. "Idiot! How could you not know that about you crush! Come on Liz!" I say to myself. Tony looks up at me. "What did you say? Do you have a crush on Parker?" Shit. "Ummm....Please don't tell him! Mr. Stark please!" I beg. Tony places a hand on my shoulder and smiles. "Your secrets safe with me."

About an hour later

"Mr. Stark?"

"Yes Elizabeth?"

"Well you can call me Liz or Lizzy. Find me a nickname and call me that. I don't care."

"Okay."

"And could I call or text Peter, please? I need to cancel the plans I had."

"A date?"

"Erm- well...Not exactly..."

"What do you mean?"

"His aunt wanted me to come over to have actual food." (air quotes lol)

"Actual food?"

"I've been eating takeout and pizza for most of my life. But can I text him please?"

"Oh, and sure."

Tony hands me my phone and I text Peter.

L: Sorry Pete. Something came up so I can't come over. Maybe a different time? It was very nice of your Aunt May to invite me over. She's a very nice woman.

P: Sorry about that! You can come over anytime. I'll tell her that! She loves you like a daughter.

L: Thanks for understanding, Pete. Hugs.

P: Hugs sent back at you!

L: See u tomorrow, Pete.

I smile and turn my phone off. Tony dials a number on his phone and calls someone. "Bruce? Come downstairs. You need to see this." Tony says quietly. An older man walks downstairs. He's hurrying. He looks down into the microscope and gasps. "Holy shit, Tony. What happened to her?" Bruce asks. Tony signals me to explain while he gets a glass of scotch. "Urm-I got jumped and they spot this liquid into my bloodstream. Mr. Stark wanted to take a look at me." I say. Bruce walks over to me. "May I see the arm?" He asks. I hold it out in response. "Holy hell." He says under his breath. "Mr. Banner? What's going on with me?" I ask. "I may have an idea. Does it sting?" He asks. "Well it stung super badly at lunch today." Bruce nods and writes on a sticky note. "This may sound weird, but would you mind trying to climb the wall right now? I know it sounds super weird, But it's apart of the research." (Lol how Bruce. Explain please) I stand up awkwardly and I smile. "Erm- okay?" I say. I walk over to the wall nearest to me. I look up at it. I place my fingertips on the wall. I place my other hand on the wall. I climb the walls as if in crawling on the floors. Bruce takes off his glasses and glances at Tony. I climb onto the ceiling and look down at them. Bruce looks at me with a shine of excitement in his eyes. "Try jumping down?" Tony suggests. "Get me a mat and then I'll jump." I reply. "It isn't that high Liz." Tony says. "Fine. If I break any bones or get injured you owe me." "No." Tony says. Ugh. He's gonna owe me. "Actually, sure. I'll owe you." Tony says. "Wait...What?" He asks. "Ha! Telekinesis!" Bruce says. "Ugh." Tony says with an eye roll. I take a deep breath and let myself fall.

I expect an impact. Like my head cracking open or something like that. I open my eyes and I smell the strong scent of scotch on the floor. That's because Tony dropped and shattered the glass. Bruce and Tony both have wide open mouths. I fly around the room and Bruce and Tony's eyes follow me. I place myself gently in front of the two men. "Holy. Shit." Bruce says while looking at me up and down. "You have powers." Bruce says. Tony looks over at Bruce with a funny look. "No shit, Sherlock. You cracked the case." "Jarvis? Take her measurements. She needs a suit." Tony says. Right away, sir. Jarvis says. "Oh, and while you're at it, call and Avenger's meeting. Contact Natasha so she can talk to her. She needs a mother figure." Tony says. I stare wide eyed into Tony's dark eyes. He has a glint in his eye that tells me there's a big storm ahead of me.

NOTE: Okay so I realllllllllly wanted Bruce to have a part in this book because I love Bruce a lot and I didn't want it to just be Tony. Soooooooo I hope you guys liked it! -FairlyNewPotterhead
