Chapter 1

"Jarvis... Get my personal decorator on the line," Tony Stark said to his virtual butler.

"May I ask the reason why Sir. You just got the place redone a month ago," Jarvis replied.

"My niece Cassandra is coming to live with me for a while and I slash the personal decorator will have to get her room ready," Tony replied annoyed. "I honestly don't understand what went through my sister's head giving me that type of responsibility,"

"One, she knows your not alone. I'm here. And two, in case of an emergency, her brother lives only half an hour away," Pepper emerged from the glass door and into the room. She hands Tony his vitamins, which he willingly takes this time.

"Exactly, her brother lives not too far from here. Why doesn't Cassandra live with him?" Tony continued after gulping down his water.

"Lucas is in a very busy school, he wouldn't have time for her," Pepper explained also annoyed considering how many times the situation has been explained to Tony.

"And I the billionaire scientist and superhero do," Tony exclaimed.

"She has faith in you Tony," Pepper replied.

"Ugh whatever. Jarvis when would the decorator be here?" Tony returned back to tinkering his suits.

"Later at 3 pm Sir. He did ask what type of person your niece is Sir,"

"Why?" Tony questioned.

"To get a clearer understanding of how to set up her room,"

"I'll take care of it," Pepper interjected looking up from her iPad full of files.

"You have Cassandra's personality in there?" Tony jokes.

Pepper glared at him. "No, her Facebook page," she holds up her iPad for Tony to see the dark haired girl.

"Sir when will your niece be arriving?" Jarvis asks.

"A week from now. Around 8 am on Friday morning to be exact," Tony's eyes then lit up. "Jarvis put that day as busy. Make sure Fury personally knows that I can't be bothered that day. Family matter's to be exact," Tony smirks.

"But isn't that the day you have to try out the simulator with Clint," Pepper said.

"Really, I had no idea," Tony smugly said.

"Oh Stark," Pepper did a face-palm.

Afterwards at SHIELDS

"We need to discuss your training matters," Nick Fury banged on the metallic table in the conference room.

"What about it?" Steve Rogers/Capt. America said.

"It's preposterous! We began our first simulation today and what happened!" Fury continued to shout.

"We defeated Loki already. We did that as a team. I don't think we have anything to worry about," Tony Stark said. He was annoyed at how Fury thinks so little of their capabilities of working as a team.

"Maybe but we have to prepare now more than ever," Fury continued.

"Explain," Natasha said.

"To make it simple, we recently discovered a group of species that are stronger than Loki,"

"What type of species?" Natasha leaned forward in her seat noticeably unsatisfied with the response she received from Fury.

"That doesn't matter right now. What matters is that you have to train better so you'll be prepared for this type of species," Fury continued.

"We'll do our best sir," Steve stood up and looked Fury in the eye.

"That's the spirit. Rogers I need to speak with you afterwards. There's been a development in a small town in Yukoslavakia that I need you to check out," Fury replied.

"Why is only Steve going?" Clint asked their director.

"That is matters that is only between him and I," Fury replied annoyed. I expect you'll be coming in on Friday morning for your turn in the simulator," Fury snaps at the archer.

"Of course. Although I can't say the same for Stark," Clint turns his head to face the billionaire who looks like he would rather be anywhere than the meeting.

"Oh yeah um Friday, I can't make it," Tony responded immediately noticing now that all eyes of his teammates were on him.

"And why is that," Fury replies sarcastically.

"My niece is coming to town to live with me and I have to help her get settled," Tony replies.
"Didn't Jarvis send you the memo?" Tony raises an eyebrow at Fury.

"Probably but I haven't checked my memos yet," Fury replied. "Stark I expect you to be here. You out of everyone here need the most attention on the word teamwork. Bruce will pick your niece up from the airport and drop her off here as she waits for you to finish," Fury looks at Bruce.

"Oh that's fine," Bruce says looking up from his cell phone.

"But my niece doesn't know Bruce. What if she becomes uncomfortable with him," Tony began thinking of any type of excuse that will allow him to escape the session with Clint.

"Deal with it Stark," Fury says. "This conversation is over, you guys can leave,"

All of the Avengers make their way to the door, except for Thor who wasn't even there. Coincidentally they all make their way to the cafeteria in the large SHIELD building.
