Soft laughter filled the air as a soft voice talked to her.

"Mommy loves you." the voice whispered down to her slowly turning hard.

Eris looked up, everything was blurred and unable to make out anything definite except for clear blue eyes and black hair.

"No matter what anyone tells you. I love you." And barely even breathed she added. "Please don't forget me."

"You will never see her again." An angry male voice screeched.

"No! Give her to me!" Cold, roughed hands grabbed her.

Cries filled the air around her. Was that her?

"Mom!?" Eris cried out as the room blurred around. "What's going on?"

"I won't let this monstrosity in our home."

"She's a child!"

"As were you."

The scene changed in a blinding white flash. She was in the middle of a green field with waist high grass. Yards in front of her was a large tree and a woman standing in front of it.

She only saw the back of her, long straight hair wearing a black suit. But as if sensing her behind her, the woman turned slightly. The wind blew blocking her face. "Come find me before it's too late."

"Too late?" Eris asked. "Too late for what?"

The tree suddenly split open with a large crack revealing an orange raven. It's eyes seemed to bore into her before it flew at her.

Eris gasped as she woke up sheets tangled and soaked with sweat as she looked around the room. She was still in her room at Avengers compound.

And still having that dream. Ever since Ultron, she's had the same dream every night.

Was that her Mom? Dad doesn't tell her anything about her. Does he even remember who she was?

She tried asking Wanda if she knew who the woman was, but Wanda explained she couldn't put people in the mind that only Eris would know who it was. It was someone Eris had to have meet at some point.

She threw the blankets off her. She wobbled to her restroom leaning against the counter as she panted.

Why can't it stop? She thought as she panted looking up to her reflection, clear blue eyes staring back at her.

She splashed water on her face, washing up. She wasn't going back to sleep anytime soon. Before leaving she grabbed her mothers locket. The one thing, other than a name, she left for her. It was a small circular object with what looked like branches and a small crow on it. She's tried opening it, but never could. She wonders what's in it. Perhaps a picture of her mother?

She walked downstairs to the Compound's kitchen. She desperately needed comfort food. Nothing better than that than chocolate.

Dad had been staying at the Compound with them but lately had been spending more time with Pepper in New York. He was here tonight but suppose to leave in the morning. They're probably fondue-ing.

As she reached up to grab the amazing chocolate Natasha kept hidden from the guys in the back of the cabinet. She stood on her toes as she pushed boxes aside. Where was it? Did she move it again? Ugh! No trust here!

She froze as she heard something crinkle behind her. Someone was there. She spun around grabbing a small knife that laid on the counter. A man in dark clothes and long hair was sitting behind her at the counter. Eating Natasha's chocolate, wrappers laying on the counter.

He looked up as if finally noticing her, but probably studying her.

"You're the Stark girl." He questioned but obviously knew the answer.

"Eris." She confirmed. No point in denying it.

He held his arm out toward her. Her jaw dropped in awe seeing the metal appendage. Although near the wrist, the metal started to rust and bulge.

"I can't fix it myself." He explained like it pained him to admit it.

"Alright." Eris said putting the knife down before walking closer. Her fingers skimmed the metal. She closed her eyes as she let the design and blueprints course through her mind. And just a little about him.

"What are you doing?" He asked as she stepped back. "I heard you just had to look at something to understand it."

"You aren't a weapon anymore," she said as she grabbed a tool kit from under the sink. "When you were freed from Hydra, you became a person again. This arm is apart of you."

They were silent as she started working on it.

"Is it true you knew Grandpa Howard?" She finally asked.

"Yes." He said. "I'm sorry."

She yanked him forward slightly so they looked each other straight in his eyes as she lowered her voice in seriousness. "It's not your fault. It's Hydra's. And if I ever hear you blame yourself for it I will beat you up with your own arm. Clear?"

"Crystal." He said with an unreadable expression. "Does Tony know?"

"Yeah. Took it well all things considering." She said as she threw a piece of chocolate into her mouth. "He somewhat understands what it's like. Being forced to do things you don't want to. But he moved on. Still expect a punch in the face when he sees you."

"That's it?"

Eris shrugged sitting next to him, lightly grabbing his arm "Probably. But back to my topic. Can you tell me about him?"

"You didn't see?"

"I only saw that because it was in the front of your mind. Plus I can't work when is quiet. Talk. If not Howard, then Steve?"

A mischievous glint entered his eyes as he smirked. "Only if you tell me what that punks been up to."

Coffee. He thought as he stumbled through the halls. Must have coffee.

"Morning Stark," Natasha said meeting him in the hall. "You're up awfully early."

He shrugged. "I told Pep I'd meet her in the city later. So how's training my little girl going?"

"She's a natural." Natasha smirked. "Of course if I had the ability to take abilities I'd be a natural too."

"Talking about Eris again?" They turned slightly to see Sam walking down the hall rubbing his shoulder. "Have I mentioned I hate that you taught her that neck scissor move?"

"I didn't teach her that." Natasha corrected as Steve and Wanda met with them. "I just helped her perfect it."

"So what are you teaching her today?" Tony asked. "Cause she's been bugging me about you two," he pointed to Natasha and Steve, "Refusing to take her on 'real' missions. Which by the way, I'm not-"

They cut off hearing Eris laughter echo down the hall from the common room. If they were all here, then who...?

"FRIDAY" Tony asked slowly as they neared the door, "Who's with Eris?"

"Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes."

They all froze froze. His parents killer was here, Tony thought. He was alone with his teenage daughter. He could hurt her. He could kill her. He could-

His thoughts were cut off by more of her laughter. He finally peeked in to see Eris sitting on the counter as Bucky was standing juggling eggs as he talked to her.

She laughed harder when one landed on his head splattering onto his already greasy hair. Harder than she has in a long time. She's been different since Ultron. More sarcastic, less laughter though. The others joked she was becoming more like him everyday. He never wanted her to be like him.

Yet here she was talking to Barnes like a life long friend. He didn't realize he was walking toward them until Eris eyes locked on him.

"Dad." Eris said jumping off the counter.

Bucky tense before straightening out and turning to him. Although it was hard to consider him a dangerous ex-criminal with egg on him. Although Bucky was looking passed him at the others that came behind him.

"Bucky..." Steve whispered behind him.

"Hi..." Eris said slowly having the decency to look sheepish, "So I found him in the kitchen earlier sitting around like a lost puppy... Can I keep him?"

Wanda laughed softly as Eris popped another piece of chocolate in her mouth and threw Bucky a towel.

What was he suppose to say? He didn't blame Barnes per say but he never expected to actually meet him.

"When did you get here?" Natasha asked nonchalantly as she sat next to Eris. "And why are you eating my chocolate?"

Eris froze midchew.

"How did you get in here?" Tony asked.

"The front door." Bucky said rubbing the egg out.

"No offense," Sam asked sitting down, "But why come here now?"

"My arm needed some repairs." Bucky shrugged nonchalantly. "I came looking for Stark but Eris came out before he did." He then looked at Tony. "Did you know she's a genius?" He asked pointing to Eris.

Tony smirked clapping a hand on her shoulder as he stood next to her. "Of course she is. She is my daughter."

"Aww shucks." Eris said as she put a hand on top of his. "You're making me blush."

"She fixed it and added a camouflage mode." As he spoke the metal arm changed into flesh appearance to match his other one. "Plus she got the last of Hydra out." He said tapping the side of his head.

"After that I sent a design and basic ideas to one of my friends so she could use it for a computer design. And now he's making me breakfast." Eris said tossing Bucky an egg that he easily caught. "Remember two scrambled with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice."

She then hopped off her chair looking at the group. "I'm going to go change while y'all talk about whatever." She then turned to Steve who looked frozen in shock. She rolled her eyes before snapping her fingers knocking him out of his stupor. "Good. Now talk."

As soon as she was out of sight, Barnes sighed and looked to Tony. Before he knew it, his fist was flying toward his jaw, and Barnes was on the floor.

"Tony!" Steve scolded.

Bucky sat up rubbing his jaw as Tony shook his now sore wrist.

"Feel better?" Bucky asked calmly.

"No." Tony admitted. "Not by punching you at least." He sighed as he offered a hand to him. He took it. "When I first learned what happened, I wanted to hate you, but I couldn't. And I definitely can't now."

"Why not?" Bucky asked sitting at the stool as the others silently watched wondering where Tony was going with this.

"Eris approves of you. She's a good judge of character. So if she didn't kick your ass first chance she got it must mean something good. But, this does mean I need to find out which room to put you in."

"What?"

"Well your staying here now. Eris won't let you leave."

"To be fair neither will Rogers." Natasha pointed out.

He look down as if thinking about it.

"Come on. You don't want to break a 17 year old girls heart do you? And what about Steve? He's like 95 too much would break the old guy's heart."

Bucky scoffed rolling his eyes. "Alright I'll stay."

"I am not taking no for an- Wait really?"

"Why not?" Bucky said as his arm transformed into a metal one again. He then turned to Steve with his arms crossed. "Did you even try to land the plane?"

"Uh..." Steve stepped back looking sheepish.

"Seriously. I'm dead for what two days? Did your impulse control fall out when they put the serum in you?"

"Well..."

"Do you even know how to drive a plane now? Surely you learned something since being defrosted."

"Well not..."

Bucky groaned exasperated. "As soon as I'm done here we are getting your ass to some pilot lessons. Come on Steve! And that was only in the '40's! Eris told me of your other things."

Steve actually paled as the other watched in amusement as Bucky simultaneously scolded him and made Eris breakfast.

"This is the most entertaining thing I've seen in years." Sam said trying to steal a piece of chocolate. Natasha simply slapped his wrist moving her chocolate away.

"Please tell me your recording this Fri." Tony said.

"Of course sir." FRIDAY replied. "Eris asked me to do so already."

"-the hell jumps out of a plane without a parachute?! You do realize you're not immortal right?!"

Bucky was actually a pretty decent cook, far better than most of them at least. He had offered to go ahead and make them all breakfast as he ranted to Steve. Now they were all gathered around the counter talking. Vision had also come in at some point to join them after getting caught up with some research.

Eris was currently rambling about some video she saw online. But as much as they loved her, it was so easy to get lost in her ramblings sometimes.

"-and I know he doesn't have a cool suit or anything like you do." She gestured toward Dad with her fork. "It was practically pajamas with taped on sunglasses. And he's in Queens. But I haven't figure out where exactly. Give me a couple of hours and I know I can figure it out."

His watch chose at that moment to beep. Tony looked down to see a reminder for him to meet Pepper at Stark Tower. Ever since the Avengers moved here, he was able to renovate it as the business side of the Avengers AKA Damage Control was moved there.

"Looks like I got to get going soon." He turned to Eris who had tilted her head slightly with a small suggestive smirk on her lips.

"You and Pepper going to fondue?"

Bucky who was drinking some water made a small chocking noise as he leaned forward half spitting out water as his metal arm covered his mouth and Steve looked down in shame.

"Fondue?!"

Tony shrugged. "It's a code word my parents used when I was younger, and when Eris came I decided to use it when she didn't understand what I meant. And yes I know my Dad got it from Captain Spangles."

Barnes burst out laughing. Eris smirk had broadened into a full smile as Steve shook his head.

"That's not going away any time soon."

"Nope" Tony said standing up. "I'm heading out. Be good while I'm gone. And remember no leaving the Compound and Vision's in charge. "

"Go." Eris said lightly pushing him away. "Pepper's going to kill you if you're late again."

"So what do you want to do? Train? Set up pranks? Hack Shield? Your choice?" Eris offered Bucky.

"What do you usually do when your Dad leaves?" Bucky asked as he put his plate in the sink.

"All the above." Eris said. "If you don't pick I'm going to set up pranks for everyone and make it seem like you did it."

"No pranks." Vision said calmly. "Last time we had to wash the ceiling for a week.

"And the time before that I almost ended up a blonde." Natasha said.

"What's your point?" Eris asked innocently

"I guess we can train." Barnes said with a shrug.

Eris smiled as they made there way down the hall to the training room. They decided to spar today and were paired in groups of two for sparring.

Steve v. Bucky. Natasha v. Sam. Wanda v. Eris.

Vision would be referee. Usually Rhodey joined them but he had an assignment to work on. Scott, the newest member, was with his daughter. And Clint was on paternity leave/ debating about retiring. But he still checked in on them and helped train them.

Eris and Wanda circled each other a they faced each other fists raised prepared for the other to strike.

Eris faked going to the right promoting Wanda to jump back slightly. Eris smirked before throwing her left fist in a wide swing unleashing red energy hurling straight to Wanda.

She easily blocked it but missed the blow Eris sent to her stomach. Wanda flew back and landed on her back.

Eris quickly used the energy to grab Wanda by the wrist lifting her up a good foot above the ground.

"Yield?" Eris challenged.

Wanda smiled before using her other hand to send a blast at Eris. Eris dropped Wanda and rolled out of the way of the blast.

Both watched in silent horror as it hit Nat on the back throwing her off balance slightly. She slowly turned around glaring at them. Sam backed away. Steve and Bucky stopped and looked. And Vision seemed to be holding his breath.

Eris quickly pointed at Wanda knowing the 21 year old was also pointing at her.

Nat smirked before she lifted her wrist firing two shots of her electric bites at both of them.

Wanda used her energy quickly to create a red force field.

Eris moved her arms intending to do the same, but as she raised her left arm a black circular shield materialized out of nowhere attaching itself to her. The electric bites bounced harmlessly off.

Eris slowly lowered her arms starting at the shield. The shield was pure black. On the front of it though looked to be branches sculpted onto it with a single crow on a branch. Just like her necklace.

"Where did...?" She trailed off staying at it.

"Eris." Steve said slowly coming forward.

She looked up swallowing hard. "I don't know how I got it. I just moved my arm and-"

"It's alright." He assured. "Can I see it?"

Eris bit her lip nodding as she slid it off and handed it to him. "How would I have been able to make a shield magically appear?"

"Perhaps it is a new ability," Vision said thoughtfully examining it.

"The ability to make weapons randomly appear?" Bucky questioned incredulously. He snorted. "When did the world start getting weird? One second a puny punk turns into a body builder the next girls can control energy and make weapons appear."

"It is curious but no one can deny Eris has abilities. Although no one is quite sure why. There are no known records of any Stark having abilities. And your mother..."

He trailed off eyes widening as if he realized he said something he shouldn't have.

Eris looked away. No one knew who her mother was. There was no address, no name. Just a note that basically said: This is your daughter. Her name is Eris Asteria (insert last name). Do as you will.

"You think my mother was an enhanced?" Eris challenged.

"I'd prefer not to-"

"I don't care what Dad told you. I want your opinion. Do you think my mother was an enhanced?"

Vision hesitated. "Yes. Does that make you feel better though?"

Eris bit her lip. No one spoke about her mother in front of her at least. She was desperate for any information about her. Especially after these dreams.

"I'm going to my room." Eris decided moving to grab the shield, but as she did it turned into a liquid shadow before melting into her own shadow.

"Well that's useful at least." She noted before walking toward the door.

"Eris." Vision said grabbing her arm gently. "Some things are better to accept than to know."

"This isn't one of those things." She said before yanking her arm back and walking away.

"What just happened?" Bucky asked after a moment.

"Eris has powers but no one knows where they come from." Natasha explained. "Stark thinks it came from her mother but..."

"Tony found Eris on his doorstep wrapped in a blanket. No indication on who her mother could be." Vision finished. "Tony had looked but forbade Eris to. He also forbade any of his systems to give Eris access to what little information he has."

"So you can't tell her anything?" Bucky questioned. "I'm not entirely sure... Would you be considered one off Tony's inventions or...?"

"Not exactly." He said. "I have my own free will. I am my own person but he did help make me."

"So you can tell her?"

"As I said before. Some things are better to accept."

Author's Note:

I've had this one on my mind for a long time so I had to.

To clear up any confusion, when Eris looks at a device she can see how it works and in case of weapons/tools can perfectly weild them. And they even become a part of her allowing her to conjure and use them as will.

When she touches a person if she wants she can absorb memories and abilities, this includes powers.

And time line wise, basic information that may or may not be important, slightly changed from MCU Wiki for story:

Eris was born in June 2000, Shuri born October 2000, Peter was born in March 2001

Eris powers develop in 2007

Events in Iron Man, T'Challa becomes Black Panther in 2009

Events in Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor in 2010

Steve's found, events of Avengers in 2011

Iron Man 3 in 2012

Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: Winter Soldier in 2013

Guardians of the Galaxy and Vol 2 in 2014

Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant Man and Doctor Strange in 2015

Thor: Ragnorok and this story in 2017

Anyways enjoy, Spidey should be joining soon. I decided not to do canon and ignore Civil War with this much more mature solution in which Steve told Tony everything and Ross isn't involved. Ant man and Black Panther will also be joining soon.

Does anyone know Wanda's age? I tried looking at the Wiki but couldn't find it.
