Hi my name is Kali and I haven't been writing in a while but I decided to try again so please read and review for me and help me decide if I should keep publishing. If you have any request for this story or if I should start my other ones again please do. Thank you!

"Cindy! Please come get this before it spills all over my papers!" my father's panicked voice reached through my headphones and made it to my ears as I glanced up quickly to see a small test tube full of a greenish purple mixture between my father's tongs. The tube was violently shaking, over exposure to the heat I suppose. I hurriedly jumped up and slipped a heat resistant glove on my hand before gently grabbing the tube from my father and moving to put in on a cooling rack. "Thank you," dad said with a relieved sigh, setting down the tongs and wiping off his hands as I threw the glove I had onto the counter.

"You're welcome. What is that anyways?" I asked, gesturing to the still shaking tube on the rack as I leaned over my father's worktop to briefly skim his papers.

"Just some stuff Clint found while he was out and Nick asked me to look at. It's rather fussy for a chemical compound," he joked, making me lightly chuckle, as I stood straight up again and walked to the door of the office/mini lab.

"I am really hungry, do you want anything from the cafeteria?" I asked, pushing the door open so it was slightly cracked. Looking back at my father, I watched him shake his head before looking back down at his papers, slightly pushing his glasses further up on his nose. I smiled and shook my head lightly before exiting the room and closing the door behind me. Walking down the narrow corridor, I glanced into each of the rooms, checking out the different training and office rooms.

"Hey! Little One!" I turned suddenly when I heard the most common nickname of mine to see the familiar face of Steve Rogers. "Hey. Do you know where Tony is? I can't find him and I need some papers he has," Steve asked as he stopped in front of me. I slowly shook my head and turned to look behind me.

"I haven't seen Tony today. I've mostly been in my dad's office. But dad might have talked to him. He's in his lab now if you want to check," I said, pointing back at the closed door. Steve nodded and smiled at me doing a little bit of a bow before gliding past me towards my father's office.

"Thank you Little One! I'll see you later," Steve called as I began to walk towards the cafeteria again. I waved backwards to him as I continued on my way in hopes of finally getting food and avoiding any other people that could potentially stop me and defers my journey. As I finally made my way into the food heaven, I sighed in contentment, letting my eyes glance over the large room. Thank God, food.

Walking out of the now crowded cafeteria, I sniffled lightly before turning and walking to my father's office again, following the familiar corridor system. Glancing at my watch, I noticed the time and immediately felt my eyes widen. I was supposed to get a ride home 30 minutes ago. The reason being that my father had a few meeting set up and decided that it would be easier for me to just get a ride home than wait for him to get out of his meeting. I rushed to his office, hoping that they had waited to start the meeting or some great epiphany had hit my father and he had figured something out for me.

"God I am going to be in trouble," I groaned as I stopped in front of my father's door. Glaring at the closed door and blinds, which obviously meant that he wanted to be alone. "Okay either walk in and own it or cower in the bathroom for another 3 hours. Damn! I forgot my phone in there!" I whisper shouted at myself as I leaned against the wall opposite of the door. I took a deep breath before groaning again and banging my head back against the wall as I felt my knees begin to buckle. I slowly slid down against the wall, legs out in front of me staring at the wooden door in annoyance.

"Hey little Banner. What are you doing out here?" the familiar voice reached my ears just as I closed my eyes, still sitting on the floor against the wall as I solely opened my eyes and looked up at the infamous Tony Stark.

"Waiting. I forgot about dad's meeting and didn't get a ride," I said, looking back to the door. Tony scoffed and grabbed my arm, pulling me up not to harshly but not so gently either. I groaned again as he brought me back up and set me on my feet before throwing the door to my dad's office open and walking in, dragging me behind him. I planted my feet at the door as Tony tried to drag me further in to the larger desk and pulled my arm away from the billionaire philanthropist.

"Cindy? What are you doing? I thought you were getting a ride home half an hour ago?" my father looked up from his chair, which happened to be directly in front of me at the moment. I glanced at Tony before shrugging slightly and shaking my head.

"I decided that time with you was more important?" I said, cringing slightly as my dad just glared at me and shook his own head. "Okay! I got distracted at the cafeteria. But in my defense they had like 30 types of bagels and I just couldn't help it!" I groaned, walking across the room to stand beside my smiling father.

"You are so weird," Steve said, who I noticed sitting on the other side of my father. I glared at him before plopping down on the chair beside of my dad.

"Dad, I don't like some of your co workers. And by some, I mean Steve and Tony. Natasha and Clint are cool though. I mean, I never thought you would let me hang out with assassins and it is really cool," I rambled slightly, turning to face the red head and stony-faced brunet. Natasha smiled at me and Clint winked causing me to laugh lightly before turning back to my father who had raised an eyebrow.

"You know I have another co worker right? The other big guy, God of Thunder?" Dad asked as I cocked my head to the side. Just as he opened his mouth to elaborate, the door slung open once again. I glanced up only to take a double take as my eyes lay on the very bulky, very attractive, very tall hunk of a man. Mumbling and 'holy shit' under my breath, I looked him over once again.

"Little Banner, this it Thor. Thor, this is Cindy Banner."
