Protector (Peter Parker)

The Assignment

There was an idea, to bring together a group of remarkable people, to fight the battles that we never could. 

That was the ideas for the original group of Avengers. What would happen if they all died? What will happen when they all retire from fighting those battles? 

The answer was simple, there had to be a group of younger remarkable people, training to take their place when they couldn't do it anymore. 

It was a secret to the world, and even to some of the prospects for the group, and that includes the one and only Peter Parker. AKA, the Spiderman. Of course there were a few others but Peter didn't know that. He didn't even know there was a junior team. 

Tony Stark was very protective of the entire junior team, that's what they were "affectionally" called. The two that were in it were not thrilled to be called juniors. 

One of them was a boy who had grown up on Asgard and Thor brought to Earth because he showed great progress and promise to be just like Thor. It wasn't Fury's idea, Thor just kind of did it, but he was quickly accepted and started training, proving that he was worthy of being brought to Earth to protect it. 

The other one was a girl, she was born and raised as a thief, and later on an assassin. She's a little like Natasha Romanoff, but Natasha was in a school, or the red room. This young girl was born into a family of assassins who were always on the run and needed someone smaller to get into smaller places to get certain information. She had suffered if she didn't do something right and she had finally had enough of it when she was only thirteen. When she ran away from her "family", she was living on the streets until she unfortunately pick pocketed Tony Stark. When he confronted her and almost called the police, she quickly beat his ass before he could call a suit or the cops, before making her get away. The team found her rather quickly after that, Tony was more than furious because the team would not stop poking fun at him for being beat up by a teenage girl. After they had finally got her story out of her, Natasha was the one to recommend her for the program and everyone but Tony agreed to the idea. 

The junior team was small but effective. They did smaller things in the cities where they lived but nothing that would draw attention to themselves, that was something they did not want to happen. The success of the small team was due to them being a secret. 

When Tony Stark invited a fifteen year old to fight in their very own civil war, everyone was a little pissed, especially the junior team who were told not to get involved. 

When the Avengers disbanded, the Asgardian boy went off with Steve Rogers. He had grown closer to that half when Thor was MIA. The girl stayed at the compound not wanting to be homeless again, she didn't agree with Tony 100% but she understood that he needed a little family, plus she didn't want to give up the opportunity of a lifetime, possibly being apart of the team since it was so small. 

Or at least that's what she was hoping when Tony Stark called her to come to his lab where he was working on one of his secret projects. She was hoping that this was her chance and she would finally not be a junior. 

"Hey junior." Tony greeted her not looking up from his work as she walked into the room. 

"Please stop calling me that." She grumbled as she sat down on one of the open stools Tony had around the lab. 

"Okay fine, Isabella, how's your day going?" Tony asked as he sat up and put down the tool that he was using. 

"My day is going fine, hopefully about to get better. I'm going to be officially apart of the team right?" The girl asked as she got excited, but also very very nervous. 

Tony sighed, not looking at her. He got up and walked over to the other side of the lab to open a file that was on the countertop. "Come on over." He called, motioning that she should come in. 

Isabella hopped off the stool and walked over to him, suddenly dreading what he was going to tell her. If she would be joining the team they would be throwing a party, not talking in the lab over a file. 

Once she joined Tony looking at he file, he finally looked at her. She knew what that look was and her heart fell. 

"I have a job for you, but you aren't part of the team. I'm sorry, the liabilities are just too much to have someone under 18 on the team. You're only 15 right now. You can't be on for another 3 years." Tony explained to her. Isabella had heard that speech too many times to actually pay attention to it anymore. It was enough that she had a job, but the fact that she wasn't on the team just made it hurt that much more. 

"Okay, so if I'm not on the team what's my job?" She bitterly asked the one who just smashed her dream once again. 

"I need you to protect someone that won't know you're there." Tony said passing her the file. "You're going to be going to the high school and pretending to be a student, yes you still have to do the homework and not get expelled." He explained while she was looking over the file. 

"You know I've never been in any type of school right?" Isabella reminded him as she saw who she was protecting. "You've got to be kidding me right? You want me to protect the asshole that was on your team when I wasn't allowed to fight?" She exclaimed standing up and crossing her arms, not wanting to do any favors for that boy. 

"Look, he's a kid and you're an....an assassin. I can't shadow him for obvious reasons but you can for multiple reasons." Tony pleaded with her. "Please Isabella, I promise I'll never call you junior again, I'll only call him junior." Tony added. 

Isabella looked at Tony, he was begging, she didn't think the kid was that important but if the Tony Stark was begging, he had to be important. 

"Fine. But you are doing half of my homework." Isabella sighed as she picked up the file to start becoming her cover. 

"Okay deal, thank you so much Isabella. Oh and your cover name is going to be Bella, it'll be easy to remember." Tony said giving her a half hug as he went over to work on a new suit. 

Isabela looked at the one she was going to be shadowing again and sighed. 

"What's so special about you Peter Parker?"
