It was a Monday and Spider-Man and the Nova were the only ones at training because the others were doing homework. As usual there was friction betweenthe two of them.

"I bet I took out more bots that what you did today," Nova said to Spider-Man as they were walking out of the battle room.

"In your dreams, bucket head," replied Peter.

Nova grit his teeth. "If anyone would beat me it wouldn't be a pajama wearing web slinger."

They were now in the mission control room where Fury was. Spider-Man was about to come back with a smart remark when an unusual figure caught both his and Nova's eyes. It was a girl about their age that was talking to Fury. She had blue eyes with a long, dark, curly hair. She was just a little bit shorter than Nova. Neither of the boys knew who she was.

"Alexander, Parker, come here." Fury said.

They walked up to him slowly.

"I would like you to meet the new member of the team," said Fury gesturing to the girl.

The reached her hand out to them and Nova took it, not hesitating, and shook it gladly.

The girl's mouth opened to speak.

"I'm Esther, Esther Stark."

" Whoa, hold on just a second. You mean like Tony Stark. Are you a distant cousin or something."

"I'm his daughter."

The boy's eyes got wide.

"By adoption," Esther added.

"I didn't know that Tony had a daughter," said Peter

"Well he wanted to keep it a secret. He said that it was for my own safety."

"Why are you here now if he didn't want you out," asked Sam.

"I told him that I wanted to do something in the world instead of staying cooped up in a big house all day. I guess I bugged him so much that Tony thought it would be okay for me to come here." Esther smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Miss Stark will be attending your highschool tomorrow and you to respect her and welcome her onto the team," Fury said. "Also, Sam I would like you to escort her to escort her to bunker B17. That is where she will be staying and Peter you are free to go."

With those last words all of them departed on their seperate ways. It was a quiet walk between Esther and Sam on journey to Bunker B17. Finally making it to their destination Esther turned to Sam.

"So I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow," Esther said rubbing her arm.

"Ya I guess so."

"Thanks for showing me the way."

"No problem."

Esther opened the door to go in and soon shut behind her.
