Penny is a fifteen-year-old girl, who loves pranking people and stopping time. When she's adopted into the mysterious Project A.D.A.P.T., she meets the Avengers - and their descendants - and for once in her life, she's not the weirdest person in the building. She gets dragged along on crazy missions while getting to know the other inhabitants of the base, and - as was to be expected - chaos ensues. After all, the only certain factor at the ADAPT base is that nothing is ever certain. --- EXCERPT Loki gave Penny a short, almost imperceptible nod, and the next moment Jock was pressed against the ground. Penny covered his mouth with her hand so he couldn't call for help, but a well-aimed knock to the head later that wasn't necessary anymore. "Thanks Rocky," Penny stepped back as Rocky shook his hand to get the tingling feeling out. "You're welcome," he grinned. "What's next?" Michael enquired, "we're alone... for now." Nutmeg pointed to the fake Infinity Stone. "Stowne!" Loki nodded. "Yes, Stone. We need to get our hands on that thing." "And why exactly don't we just grab it?" Sarah enquired as Chelsea went a little pale. "Stop trying to read my mind, Maximoff one junior," Loki commanded, "and Sarah; I've been told," - he gestured with his scepter to Jock - "that it's not safe for humans to come anywhere close to it." "And I've been told only princes and princesses and other royalty can touch it," Michael added, "which reminds me; they're holding a meeting here soon about destroying other planets with this very Stone." Loki frowned thoughtfully. "Why would they do that? They're risking that everyone finds out it's a fake... well, unless it's not a fake. It's certainly no real Infinity Stone, but... Well, it needs to be removed either way, I'll see if I can do that with my scepter." --- CHASM is Book 1 of the Generation Omega Series
