Secrets And A Spider

-36-

Within a few seconds, we arrived in New York, 2012, our suits dematerialising. "All right, we all have our assignments. Two Stones uptown, one Stone, down. Stay low. Keep an eye on the clock." Steve was the first to speak, just as past Hulk ran past, smashing everything, much like a child having a tantrum, causing Bruce to hide his face in embarrassment. "Feel free to smash a few things along the way." Steve told him.
"I think it's gratuitous, but whatever." Bruce lightheartedly smashed things, tearing off his shirt and lightly punching a car. "Alright, let's get going." My dad tapped my shoulder, nodding at Scott as he climbed to his own and we flew towards Stark Tower.

"See them?" I asked through comms, looking through the back windows, as my dad took the front. "Yeah. Got to hustle, Cap. Things look like they're just about wrapped up here." He warmed as I flew back around, landing in the tower beside him. "Got it. I'm approaching the elevator now." Steve replied as we watched on.

"If it's all the same to you... I'll have that drink now." Loki surrendered, the whole team dispersing as he was cuffed. My dad walked towards the bar, "All right. Good one. No standing around, I'm closing up this door for later. By the way, feel free to clean up."

"Uh, Mr. Rogers. I almost forgot that that suit did nothing for your ass." My dad spoke up in a low whisper.
"No one asked you to look, Tony." He replied.
"It's ridiculous"
"I think you look great, Cap. As far as I'm concerned, that's America's ass." Scott did a tiny salute, it wouldn't have been noticeable if I didn't know how he was knelt.

"Uhh, magic wand?" Nat asked.
"STRIKE team's coming to secure it." My dad replied. Then the hydra team arrived, currently known as shield agents. "We can take that off your hands." Sitwell took the sceptre off of Nat.
"By all means. Careful with that thing." She responded as Clint joined her.
"Unless you want your mind erased. And not in a fun way." He warned.
"We promise to be careful." Sitwell assures.

"Who are these guys?" Scott asked us.
"They are SHIELD...Well, actually Hydra. But, we didn't know that yet." My dad told him.
"Seriously, you didn't? I mean...they look like bad guys." Scott mocked.
"You're small, but you're talking loud."

"Daddy!" We watched as a Young Girl, me, ran into my dad's open arms and he held her close. Loki seemed to smile, but quickly hid it, and I watched him with wonder. "Did you win?" She asked, her eyes so innocent.
"Yeah, look." He turned me to see Loki, and I stuck my tongue out at him, earning a smirk in return. Clearly Loki didn't hate children, after all, he never once tried to hurt me when I had distracted him hours before this moment. "Natasha!" I couldn't help but smile as she also picked me up, proof that she's always been there for me, despite the hate she held for herself deep down. "On my way down to coordinate search and rescue." Steve spoke up, walking away. Loki transformered into him, "On my way down to coordinate search and rescue!" Making my younger self giggle. "I mean, honestly! How do you think you'll be..."
"Shut up." Thor was quick to cut him off.

My dad looked down as they all started to move. "All right, you're up, little buddy. There's our stone." He muttered. Scott shuffled on his shoulder, getting into position. "Alright. Flick me." As soon as he said it, my dad did so, launching him toward his past self. "Let's move." I said, running alongside him as we both jumped out of the window, activating our suits. "All right, Cap. I got our scepter in the elevator just passing the 80th floor." My dad spoke up as we hovered outside.
"On it. Head to the lobby."
"Alright. We'll see you there." I nodded at my dad, and we made our way down. "Find a disguise and meet at the entrance in five." My dad said, the two of us landing in a nearby alley. "Alright, I'm gonna raid Pepper's closet." I told him, preparing to fly back up and sneak in through their window. "Riley!"
"Yeah?"
"Be Safe."
"When am I not?" I flew away, finding the window with ease and putting on one of her tops, tying it to fit and using a belt to since in the pair of jeans I found. They were semi-formal, but they'd be enough to pass off as one of Fury's agents, after all, SHIELD wasn't afraid of people who were confident in their work. I met back up with my dad and we made our way inside. He had managed to get a shield uniform, so I got past everybody with ease after he explained I was an agent that was a close friend of Fury's.
