Widow's Shield

Launching Party

Lila knocked, "Everything ready?"

"Yup." Morgan smiles.

"It's seems only yesterday," Lila sighs sarcastically, "that I've taught you how to use a... tampon."

Morgan frowns and glares at Lila, "What the hell?!"

Lila smiles as Ana walked in. Ana sighs, "I know I look like a Christmas Tree."

"No, you look like... your..." Ana glares at Lila and she was stop, "I'm sorry, but it seemed only yesterday I taught you how to use a tampon."

Ana frowns, "You did not teach me that! You taught me to be strong and independent, Morgan taught me about tampons." Ana smirked.

"Okay." Lila smiles, "But seriously, you two look absolutely gorgeous."

"Thanks." Morgan smiles, "You don't look so bad yourself..."

The music stops and Pepper's voice rang out, "As you all may know, I am retiring. After many years being the CEO of Stark's enterprise, I am passing the baton to my daughter, Morgan Harper Stark."

Morgan went up onstage as the people cheered, wooed, applauded, whistled and chanted out her name. "Morgan! Morgan! Morgan!"

Morgan smiles, as she was handed the microphone, "Thanks mom and I promise to take care of this company and it's people as family. Now without further ado, this person is the new face of the Avengers, my best friend and sister America's Princess, Anastasia Mary Romanoff Rogers."

As the music started to play, Ana chuckled walking up the stage.

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire

"You do realize that this song and what you just called me does not make sense," Ana chuckles, "right?"

Morgan gave her friend a side hug, and hands her the mic.

Ana smiles, "Okay. Good evening, people. How bout that introduction with that song?" Ana smirked, "I know I'm half Russian but you just called me an American Princess... I'm actually shocked that it wasn't a remix of 'Cotton Eyed Joe'."

"Oh just wait..." Morgan smirked.

Ana pulled down the ribbon on her own hair and letting her red curls loose, "Ahh! Much better." she sighs, "Sorry that ribbon was extremely tight and hurt my head." Ana then grabbed either side of the podium and leaned in, "First, thank you for the great honour that Morgan and her parents bestowed upon me, being the face of the Avengers, has never really crossed my mind. The first time, Uncle Tony had told me about it, I was angered because I didn't think I could ever possibly be good leader, but my family never let me give up. I was forced to play leader in a Rome. I've learned something I should have a long time ago, a leader is only as good as their team. I am not gonna be the leader, we all have our moments. Therefore, Cooper, Lila, Nathan, can you guys come up here?"

The Barton siblings came onstage confused. "You too, Morgan." Ana smiles.

"What the hell is this?" Morgan whispered.

As the four stood beside Ana, Ana smiles, "This should be the new faces of the Avengers..."
