When I was younger my mother would constantly tell me stories about the avengers she had no problem talking about them but when it came to my father she always had trouble talking to me however she always would tell me what he was like I never met him I was only a year old when he disappeared.
I always knew that the avengers disappeared around the same time my father did they just went on some huge mission and never came back, what my mother failed to mention to me was that my father was Ironman, my Name is Iris stark this is the story of how my friends and I went to the ends of the earth to try and discover the truth, our families past.
It all started on my fifteenth birthday, I woke up early that morning my friend JJ stood over me, his real name was Jeffrey but I called him JJ, it was about five thirty I freaked because well it was the dead of summer and I was just sleeping in an undershirt and some pink underwear and while I thought of JJ as a brother he had to get out of this habit before I could scream at him he placed a quick hand over my mouth and put a finger to my lips to shush me
"Don't scream if your mom hears us we're going to get in trouble" JJ said I glared at him shoving him off my bed and pulling my covers closer to myself so he wouldn't see anything, a long time ago JJ had somehow gotten into the habit of crawling in my window and waking me up that way when he wanted to tell me something important and unfortunately the kid was also an early bird mean while I was a night owl so we kind of balance each other out you know?
"What are you doing in here you idiot? Haven't you ever heard of Knocking?" I asked him glaring JJ merely rolled his round Blue eyes his messy blonde hair just barely entering his line of vision his light skin color making his eyes seem darker by comparison he had a slim figure but I knew he was stronger than he looked he wore a green T-shirt and blue jeans with black sneakers his grey backpack on his shoulders he carried it everywhere in case he needed to write something down, JJ wrote down everything he hoped his life discoveries and mistakes would become famous someday so he always had a pen and some paper with him.
"Sorry, but come on I found something out that you're not going to believe" he told me
I was rather confused at first but then he held up my card, it wasn't my card actually, as odd as it may seem the only thing I have of my father's is some ID card he left behind my mother turned it into tag necklace it was white with a red stripe and his picture on it, clearly the object was electronic but I never was able to figure out how to fix it and make it do what it originally was supposed to do.
I glared taking it from him and putting it around my neck, however I did understand what he was trying to tell me, ever sense we were young we were always trying to do what the rest of the world could not, get past the avengers Security system and enter the old abandoned mansion to discover what may have actually happened to them.
"Alright get out I'll meet you downstairs in twenty minutes" I told him with a sigh JJ smiled before hurrying downstairs I stood up and threw on my red tanktop I put on my black pants before also throwing on my black fingerless gloves, I brushed out my long black hair before pulling it into a black braid that reached my waist my pale skin brought out my bright golden brown eyes I had a slim figure but like my friend I was stronger than I looked I also had a bit of a temper and tended to get in fights a lot it was instinct to defend those weaker than me so that was usually why and also why I wore the gloves. I put on my combat boots before scribbling a note to my mother explaining that I was out with JJ and that she shouldn't worry I also added to tell Hank, JJ's dad just in case JJ had forgotten to tell him where he was going which the excited little guy usually did JJ was two years younger than me his mom had disappeared a while after my dad had disappeared mom says they were great friends and she wanted to look for him as well as some of my dad's friends that also had gone missing Hank had stayed behind with JJ and my mom I remember Janet well she was so sweet I was almost three when she disappeared so JJ had a habit of asking me what his mom was like because Hank didn't always tell him the truth about her because he was nervous that JJ wouldn't like her I knew mom would stretch the truth about my dad when I was little,
I met JJ downstairs and grabbed my helmet so we could ride our bikes to the Avengers mansion JJ was already there on his bike I threw my helmet on and we hurried away I was so curious about what he had found that no one else could then again JJ was a smart kid. Now while I can I'm going to explain something to you, a lot of you are probably thinking "well how could you not know your dad was ironman? Tony Stark, Iris stark Come on!" well for you jerks who are trying to bring me down for it at the time I was using my mother's name, my mother is Hitori Hinamori, most people call her Tori.
We finally reached the mansion the gate still had the same password lock on it sense the day the avengers had left I smiled a little bit at him as we got off of our bikes and walked over to the gate
"Password" the box said in a worn out old computer voice JJ smiled happily he seemed very excited about all of this
"Iris" He said I was about to respond when I heard a loud beep and then a click I looked to see the gates open slowly with a loud, rusted screech I looked at him confused as heck
"I found out by mistake I was out here trying to figure out the password said I wish you were here and it opened" he said enthusiastically I smiled for my birthday my best friend was taking me where no normal person had been for fourteen years, we hurried into the gates and I looked around vines had begun to grow on the mansion as the paint was being chipped off the grass had grown so much that the grass reached my knees when I looked around a little confused but it should have been pretty obvious after all no one had been with in these gates for nearly fifteen years we got to the door when the voice from before came back
"Key card" it demanded I looked at JJ who just sighed
"This is why I think I need your necklace" He said I felt my hand subconsciously reach up to the necklace around my neck I then took it off and handed it to him JJ slipped it into the slot there was a soft ping noise and then a different robotic voice said
"Welcome back Mr. Stark"
"Did it just call you Mr. Stark?" JJ asked I slowly nodded I didn't understand it either I examined the key card for a moment as I followed JJ inside I continued to do so JJ found the lights so we didn't hurt ourselves I looked up then examining the room it was covered in a lair of dust but otherwise seemed to have been frozen in time the two of us began to look around slowly the place was full of electronic things that seemed to be at least fifty years away I couldn't believe my father had been part of the process but then suddenly a large robotic eye appeared causing me to scream because I hadn't been expecting it
"State your name" it demanded
"I-Iris Hinamori"
"Hello Miss Hinamori, I am Jarvis by scanning your DNA I have discovered that you are an avenger if you and Jeffery will follow me" Jarvis said we looked at each other confused but followed the thing into what appeared to be Ironman's lab we stared in awe at the things surrounding us Jarvis led us to a large screen
"I will tell you everything you wish to know about the others"
"Can you show me everything on Janet?" I asked immediately without hesitation just because it was my birthday it did not mean that JJ didn't deserve to know after all he had been the one to figure out how to get in here images and searches flew up onto the large screen stopping on one JJ's eyes grew wide I couldn't help but notice the way she was dressed she had wings and wore a yellow and black outfit to say the least she was Wasp,
"Janet also known to the other avengers as Wasp, disappeared about twelve years ago to go on a search for her comrades her last digital journal entry was of her in the frozen tundra searching for the Hulk" Jarvis replied to my request a voice recording then began to play
"I've been searching for almost a year for the avengers tracking them everywhere in hopes of finding them but now there are people after me, Hank if you ever hear this I want you to make sure that Jeffery never knows our identities it could put him in so much danger and he might do something stupid knowing how we mix I will be honest Hank I don't think I'm coming back from this I wanted to let you know that I love you and I want you to tell Jeffery that I love him with all of my heart" Janet's voice said
I turned to JJ who couldn't look away from the screen his eyes were wide as saucers and although he was thirteen he looked as though he was about to cry I pretended not to notice not wanting him to be embarrassed
"Hank, no matter what happens I don't want you to ever come after us, it is bad enough that these kids each lose one parent if they lose both it could be traumatic for them and I don't want to hurt Jeffery I love you both so much and I'm sorry this is how we have to say our good byes
Janet signing out"
