Phantom || Peter Parker

Avalon was in the lab with Peter and Shuri, Bucky was at the safehouse outside of the city, most likely answering all of the questions he was being asked by the others, especially why he ran out so suddenly. The three teens were making excellent progress on Avalon's new tech, and it was only a matter of time before they were all completed and tested, along with making a few tweaks here and there. Harley was settled around Avalon's neck, a small sigh emitting from her nose as she looked down at the tablet in front of her, one of her hands playing with her locket. T'Challa suddenly entered the lab with Okoye following, which gained the attention of the teenagers,

"I just received a call from Everett Ross" T'Challa informed "he is on his way here"

". . He can't know I'm here" Avalon said, walking around the table "do you have a place where I can hide or something? Ross can not know I'm here"

"And why not?" T'Challa asked "you have been granted Asylum, he cannot harm you here"

". . . I may or may not have broken into the Avengers Tower through the ventilation system to get to their control room so I could find my father" Avalon answered "I got out before he went inside the building, then I went off the grid for a few days. Please, he can't know I'm here . . especially if he finds what I have"

"What do you have?" He asked, looking at the teenager

"Everything on everyone that is or was associated with SHIELD or HYDRA, you know that" she answered honestly "if he finds me, or my father, we're both dead. Asylum or not"

T'Challa looked into her ice blue eyes, seeing that she was being completely honest with him, giving her a small nod, looking at Okoye,

"Take them to the safe house outside of the city" T'Challa ordered "inform the others to shut down everything until Ross and his company have left the barriers of Wakanda. They must be silent" Okoye giving him a small nod, T'Challa looking at Avalon and Peter "gather your things, quickly. Meet Okoye by the entrance of the palace"

Looking at Peter, Avalon jerked her head slightly, the two of them running out of the lab and over to their rooms to gather their things, secretly thankful that both of them didn't completely settle in. Avalon made sure she had her things in her rucksack, Peter doing the same with his own bag, the two of them jogging down to the entrance, where Okoye was waiting. The teens soon found the selves on a small jet, one that was taking them to the safehouse outside of the city,

". . . I'm sorry I dragged you into this" Avalon said softly

". . It's not the worst thing that happened to me" Peter replied honestly

"But still . . " she trailed off

Peter hesitantly placed one of his hands over hers, causing Avalon to look at him, seeing him give her a small smile in assurance. Not even seconds later, the jet landed, Avalon reluctantly pulling her hand from Peter's and grabbing her bag and weapons, standing up from her seat. Peter let out a small sigh through his nose, doing the same with his things and following Avalon as she followed Okoye, walking down the small ramp and following her to the small looking house where she knocked on the front door. Bucky was the one that answered, looking at his daughter, surprised that she was there,

"What happened, malyshka?" He asked

"Everett Ross, he's coming" Avalon answered "he can't know we're here, papa"

"I have been instructed to inform you to go silent until further notice" Okoye said, causing Bucky to look at her

Bucky knew what that meant, giving her a small nod and holding out a hand to Avalon, who took that as an invitation to enter the house, feeling her father's hand on her back, the door shutting and locking not even minutes later. Bucky quickly went around, shutting everything off and leading the teens over to a hidden elevator, which led them down to the real safehouse. Avalon adjusting the strap to her rucksack, a small sigh emitting from her nose, which caused Bucky to place a hand on her shoulder, giving it a small squeeze, silently assuring her that he will protect her no matter what happens. The elevator reached it's destination, the three of them walking off, but Bucky walking ahead of the teens,
