"UNBELIEVABLE! ROSE STARK, YOU HAVE CROSSED ME FOR THE LAST TIME" Tony growled as he stomped down the hallway. My chocolate brown eyes widened in surprise, I hadn't seen him this mad since I injected myself with a mixture of the super soldier, speedster serum and dark matter. (To be fair I was a twelve year old science prodigy left bored and un-supervised, what was I supposed to do?)

"You can't baby me forever Tony! I'm ready to be an Avenger!" I yelled after him. Tony was angry I had snuck aboard the avenger's helicarrier, I had actually managed to stay hidden for a couple of days until that idiot pulled open the pantry cabinets to look for a snack, while I was sleeping in it. As you can imagine, this gave both of us quite the shock.

"For the last goddamn time you are sixteen, you are too young to be an avenger!" Tony exited the hallway and headed into the common room where Steve, Natasha, Bruce, Coulson, Hawkeye and Fury were waiting. I sighed and took a seat at the end of the large business like tabel.

"So, Fury and I decided to gather everyone here to decide what to do about our little stow away situation…" Coulson sighed, but I seemed to detect mild amusement in his voice. I gave a little five finger wave with a smirk before going back to braiding and unbraiding my golden brown hair.

"I think it's obvious what we're going to do, she's going home!" Fury snapped in anger.

"Agreed." Tony said dryly, shooting me a dirty look before tossing grapes in his mouth.

"Disagree." I lit up to see Natasha defending me. "The kid clearly has a strong interest in hero work and from the trials I've run with her she's very good at it, why prolong the inevitable?" I nodded in agreement.

"Natasha...she's still just a kid. She has plenty of time to put her life in danger." Tony's blue eyes met mine with desperation, I looked away.

"Look clearly she's too young to be an avenger but she isn't too young to be a spy. So I say we ship her off to Shield Academy!" My eyes lit up at Clint's words, my brother had always tried to force me into getting a GED before attending (in a vain attempt to change my mind) but those stuffy old classrooms just weren't from me and I managed to run away from every prep school in the country, plus two in Europe. My brother sighed heavily massaging his temples.

"If I do this Rose...do you swear to behave?" I nodded with enthusiasm. "And you'll never illegally sneak into government property?" Another nod. "And stop hacking private government data." Natasha snicked as I sighed and nodded with hesitation. There was a bunch of discussions about legal shenanigans and contracts that I ignored, Tony made a bunch of phone calls and everyone agreed that the hella-carrier would make a pit stop at the academy early in the morning. Naturally, I was very excited.

"So Tonester my man." I smiled running up from behind Tony after dinner, I had changed into my pajamas. They featured a black cat tank top and black short shorts. "Do I get a bedroom now that I've come clean, confessed my sins?" I smirked excitedly up at him.

"Well unfortunately for me you can't sleep in the cabinet for legal reasons…."

"Soooo...can I sleep with Natasha! She can give me tips for tomorrow and an-"

"Woah woah relax kid I found you a place." I then noticed that Tony was carrying a sleeping bag, pillow and blanket. I frowned as Tony put in a passcode and we walked down a hallway that led to the center of the room. Inside was a glass cage where a man stood, I studied him for a moment, jet black hair, icy blue eyes, tall brooding complexion, but I found his look rather intimidating and immediately turned away. "Lok, Asgardian God of mischief, meet my sister Rose, queen of annoyance. You two are sharing a room tonight. My face fell, I kicked my brother hard in the shin before he could walk out.

"YOU WANT ME TO STAY WITH A CRIMINAL! WHAT KIND OF BROTHER ARE YOU!" I yelled in rage. Tony smirked then punched the glass rather hardly.

"Relax hun, the guy's sealed inside a million tons of glass." He then gestured towards the controll pad. "And if Loki so much as taps said glass, him and his cage will go hurdling down at a million mph into the bottom of the ocean." I was mildly comforted, but still upset.

"If you think this is going to change my mind, you're wrong!"

"We'll see…" Tony said walking down the hallway. He bumped into Captain America who appeared to be arguing with him. Tony left the room in a puff before Steve approached me gently.

"Listen kid, as you've probably seen that your brother and I don't exactly see eye to eye on everything. We certainly don't agree on this little...experiment of his, so if you need anything, call me." Steve tossed me a walkie talkie and ruffled my hair, I blushed. Words can't describe how weird it is to meet the guy hanging up on a poster in your bedroom. Steve then turned his attention to Loki.

"Don't even think of trying anything." Steve glared at Loki who put his hands up with a smirk. Steve gave Loki one last weary look before walking off, I gulped in nervous anticipation as I heard the door lock behind us.
