Before anyone could argue with Angel she was already running into the tower with a wild grin on her face. Jason was the first one to catch up with her, probably because he knew what she was planning before she even said the words to hint where she was going.

"Angel, it's not like you can just come back and everyone will accept you. They have information and pictures saying you were with HYDRA."

"Yeah, but i'm back and, guess what? I'm not really with HYDRA"

Jason groaned and rubbed his forehead. Most of the passers in the lobby didn't even notice the two of them, but a few gave them weird looks. Angel ignored them but Jason looked at them and tried to hear what they were saying.

"Jason, you're telekinetic, not telepathic. Stop trying to read there minds," Angel said annoyed.

When she said that Jason looked at her like she shared the cuban missile codes and not a joke. "You're not supposed to say that. Mutans are still a touchy subject in most of the United States." Jason said quietly as he sighed.

They stood in silience for a few seconds until Angel stopped in front of an elevator and turned towards Jason. She glared at him like she usually does with people she's trying to break.

Jason laughed and rolled his eyes. "Okay, first, i'm your brother so staring at me won't scare me. Secondly, I know you want my card for access to the top two floors."

Angel pouted her lip and continued to stare at him. Jason smirked and stared at her with the same blue eyes. They continud to stare at eachother for a few moments until Angel groaned and and looked up. She could hear James and Rose coming closer to them. "Is that what it's like to stare at me?"

"Yes," James said.

Angel smiled and suddenly hugged her brother tightly. Despite her being a few inches taller than him he still tried to seem taller by putting his arm higher than hers. "Hey, why are you hugging me? You never even let me hand you things--wait."

Before he could stop Angel grabbed the electronic card out of her brothers pocket and ran into the opening elevator. She scanned the card through the spot on the bottom of the control panel.

Jason jumped in and stood next to her. As the doors were closing James stuck his hand in the way. Rose and him walked in slowly.

"What was that? You just ran inside and started to make a few party goers very confused," James said annoyed. Angel shrugged and looked over at Jason who was hiding in a corner. The only sound was a faint song playing over the speakers.

Rose was studying the two of them and noticed the similar charerestics. Jason looked over at her and caught her staring. "Um, hey. What's your name?" he said trying to break the silence.

Rose seemed to smirk and continued to stare a him. "Rose, and you must be Jason Stark?" she said said. Jason nodded a small yes and turned his head to James.

James still had his arms crossed but was still interested in Angel's twin. His blue eyes were lighter but his hair was slightly darker. It was hanging over his forehead but wasn't shaggy. He was strong but still scrawny and short.

Compared to James' tall and muscled frame he looked slightly, unimpressive. Then he looked closer at Jason's eyes and noticed a certain gleam, like he was more powerful than you'd think. Slowly James uncrossed his arms and held his hand out to shake. "I'm James Taylor," he said confidently.

Jason took is hand but looked kinda confused. "Jason Stark." Jason looked over at Angel and raised an eyebrow. She shook her head no very fiercely. James was confused but accepted the fact that he had no idea what the two twins were thinking. Then he was torn from his thoughts when the elevator door opened with a ding.

Angel smiled but didn't run away this time. She gently walked out and began to weave around the guest. The floor was crowded with people, some dressed for a formal event but others looked like they just walked out a strip club.

A few guest were against the walls making small talk with glasses of wine but most were in the middle of the room jumping in tune to the Jason Derulo song blaring over the speakers.

Angel avoided everyone with perefct accuracy, like she did this all the time, but other people in the group was having problems.

James continusly ran into people, and some people got mad. One person shoved him roughly and then a group of girls kept trying to get him to dance. Rose was having similar problems but could still get through. Then there was Jason, he was a total fail. Everytime he avoided someone he ran into two more, eventually he gave up and walked to the edge of the room. Rose got lost quickly and walked to the bar, where she sat on a stool.

In a few moments James finally got caught up to Angel. "Where are we going?" He yelled.

"I have to find someone," she screamed. She kept walking and trying to look over the crowd. She easily got distracted when someone walked over with a tray full of shot glasses full of clear liquid. She grabbed one and lifted her head back as she downed the glass. James stared at her crazily as she set the glass on a table.

"What- Wait, your seventeen!"

"Yep," she said before spotting something in the corner.

"I'm a cop you can't just openly drink underage in front of me."

"I just did." Angel left the argument at that before sprinting up to a women. She was nicely dressed in a short green dress. Her strawberry blonde hair was pulled into a high bun and when she turned James almost fell over. She looked like and older Angel with darker hair and green eyes. He realised this must be her mom, and she looked suprised to see Angel.

"What are you doing here?" she said.

"Um, that doesn't matter. Where's Tony?" Angel said.

"Probably by the stage, but Angel we were told you are HYDRA agent. What happened?" At the mention of HYDRA a new person turned toward Angel and James. His blue eyes looked over them then to Angel's mom.

"Pepper, what are you talking about?" the man said seriously.

"I'll explain later. James stay here i'll be back." Angel said before getting lost in the crowd again.

"Uh. okay." James turned towards the two people looking at him. "You must be Pepper Potts and C-Captain America." James voice broke when he stared at the man staring at him.

Captain America nodded his head slightly at James. "Yes, and what do you have connected to HYDRA?"

James shook his head and bit his lip. "Um, nothing, like, at all."

Captain America still looked a little worried, but he kept it neutral. He stuck out his hand in a friendly gesture, "I'm Steve Rogers."

James shook it and looked him in the eyes. "I know. James Taylor," he said politely. His hand returned to resting at his side. He didn't want to go talk to strangers, but he also didn't want to stay here in the awkward silence. Then a crash a was heard, that thankfully saved him.

Everyone turned to the front of the room, where Tony stood in his Ironman suit, without the helmet. Angel stood next to him, and it was easy to tell they were about to fight. The music was shut down so everyone could hear the entertainment.

"I need to talk to you, alone," Angel said annoyed

Tony, who was holding an empty vodka bottle, stared at her. "No, what you need to do is expain yourself to me right now."

Angel clenched her hands into fist at her side. "Tell everyone to leave. Now. I will get my suit if I need too."

That got Tony's attention. His hard, angry expression flashed fearful for a moment, then changed back to angry. "Fine, but you are not off the hook yet."
