"What are you doing a little video diary?" Vierra sat in one of Tony's limousines, in between the Iron Man, and Peter. "Yeah." Vierra rolled her eyes "It's alright."

"I told him not to do it, he was filming everything, I'm going to wipe the chip—" "Hey, hey, hey. We should actually-we should make an alibi video for your aunt." Vierra spun around to Tony "Don't you have a girlfriend?"

"Your point?" Vierra smirked rolling her eyes again, but this time, in a teasing manner. "You ready?"

"Uh, yeah." Peter readied his camera holding it, so it could see the other two. "Hey, May. How you doing? What you wearing? Something skimpy I hope." Vierra turned to Tony with wide eyes as he chuckled to himself. Peter clearly didn't like the statement either.

"Okay, that's inappropriate." Peter faked a smile before nodding. "Yeah."

"We can start over. You can edit it." Peter nodded looking back to the camera "Hey, May. My gosh, uhh, I wanted to tell you what an incredible job your nephew did, this weekend, at the Stark internship retreat. Everyone was impressed."

The car parked abruptly, and Happy threw his hands in the air angrily. "Come on! It's a freaking merge, I'm sorry." Tony turned to Happy with a complacent expression. "This is cause you're not on Queens Boulevard." Tony pointed out after Happy had decided to take a different, 'faster' route.

"You see, Happy is hoping to get bumped up to asset management. He was forehead of security, and before that he was a driver." Peter aimed the camera to Happy when the man turned around.

"That was a private conversation. I don't like joking about this, it was hard for me to talk to you about." Vierra hid a laugh behind her hands, and Peter smiled. "No, seriously, was he snoring a bunch?"

"Alright, here we go!" Once again, the car pulled to an abrupt stop. "Happy, can you give us a moment?" The driver was surprised by the question, "You want me to leave the car?"

"Why don't you go get Peter's case out of the trunk?" Happy grumbled something Vierra couldn't decipher before getting out of the car, and Peter pulled down his phone. "I can keep the suit?"

"Yes, we were just talking about it." Tony pulled on his glasses "Do me a favor though. Happy's kind of your point guy on this, so don't stress him out. Don't do anything stupid. I've seen his cardio gram, alright?" Peter glanced out the window "Yes."

"Don't do anything I would do. And, definitely don't do anything I wouldn't do. There's a-there's a little grey area. That's where you operate."

"Wait, does that mean that I am an Avenger?" "No." A knock came from the window, and Peter rolled it down to see Happy standing there. "This it?"

"Seventh floor." "I can take that up, you don't have to take that." Happy was clearly grateful for the offer "You gonna take it?"

"Yea, I can take that." Happy thanked him "You wanna get Via's bags too?" Peter turned to Vierra before shrugging "I can take them myself." Peter nodded, and Happy dropped the case next to Peter's door. Technically, Vierra had just turned sixteen, so she was older than Peter now.

"Oh, that reminds me, not only do you get a grumpy Happy as your point guy, you get a mopey Vierra to help to." Peter looked to the Asgardian girl curiously before turning back to Tony. "But, Mr. Stark, didn't she try to kill us?"

"Yes. But, I'm technically still her legal guardian, so... hey, quit distracting me." Peter quickly apologized before Tony continued. "Anyways, Vierra's here to help. If you ever get into too bad of trouble, you got an alien goddess on your side, one whom has already promised to help you on whatever you need."

"So, she's like my assistant?" Vierra spun around to Peter with golden eyes. "Did you just call the daughter of Thor, your assistant?!" Peter gulped "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you in anyway." Vierra turned back to Tony, and they both laughed.

"Sorry, kid. I had to mess with you a little bit." Peter fake laughed as well. "Oh, haha."

"So when's your next-when's our next 'retreat' you know?" Peter waved air quotes over the word retreat. "What next mission?"

"Yeah, the mission-the missions."

"We'll call you." Peter looked down to the phone in his hands "Wha-Do you have my number?"

"No, I mean we'll call you. Like someone will call you, or we'll call Vierra." Peter nodded "Oh."

"That also reminds me, new names!"

"What?" Tony sighed looking to the children "Only for Vierra. The school wouldn't accept an alien, so from now one, you are no longer Vierra daughter of Thor, you are Hope Marshall."

"You're just gonna change my name like that?" Tony shrugged "You'll still be Vierra, but the only ones who know that are me, and Peter." Vierra let out an annoyed huff. "Fine."

Tony leant over Vierra, and Peter grabbing at the handle. Peter wrapped his hand around the older man when Tony pulled back "Its not a hug. I'm just grabbing the door for ya. We're not there yet." Peter stepped out of the limousine with an excited expression.

"So, why exactly do you want me to help this kid anyways?" Vierra glanced to Peter who was waiting for her with her bags in hand. "Vision overheard you, and Wanda talking, and then he told me. I decided—" "Without my permission."

"I decided that Peter was the perfect chance at you getting the taste of being normal. Just, don't fall in love with him, he is a dork, but I have a feeling he won't be the kind your looking for." Vierra saluted Tony "Will do, boss." Tony wiped at his eyes.

"Come here, kid." Tony pulled Via into a bear hug, and she laughed. "Promise me you'll text, or call, whatever, but promise me you will."

"I will Tony, and I'll protect Peter no matter what, I swear to you." Tony smiled softly "You're a good kid, Vierra."

"I know."
