Hello everyone, this is my first time posting on so if i do anything wrong please message me. I am hoping to update every 2-3 days with this one, because I like to have a chapter ahead of time so i can work on chapter and have a chapter sitting there so i can upload and not be uploading and having to write a chapter in 2 days.
Please review and give me ideas, I have a general storyline and how Cap will come in, but I would like some more ideas to add in on the way thanks :)
Disclamer - I do not own any of Marvel, and this is purely here for entertainment,the only things I own are the O/C's :)
"Minerva can I talk to you for a second?" I heard my mother call from downstairs, "be right there Mum" I called back, I ran as fast as I could downstairs, even sliding down the staircase handle on the marble entrance stairway.
I walked into the kitchen to see my mum smiling at three pieces of important looking paper, "Minerva Aphrodite, you have made me so proud" she said as she hugged me awkwardly "Why may I ask?" I questioned, my mum was unusually happy "Because you Minnie, have gotten into MIT, Grayburn, and Culver Universities', all wanting you for a PhD in Archaeology and Cellular Biology, they said that they have never seen someone get a PhD in both of those, and that It would be a pleasure to have a student complete those PhD's together" she spoke calmly but full of excitement.
"OH MY GOSH YES YES YES, THOSE ARE ALL THE UNI'S I WANTED TO GET INTO YES YES YES" I hugged my Mum, and calmed myself down "Now which one to pick?" "Well I think Culver would suit you well, it has a bit of a bad history but it has an excellent cellular biology program, and archaeology program, I looked it up on the internet" "Well Culver it is" I hugged my Mum one more time "Wait how am I going to pay my way cos I refuse to take any money off you and Dad, I use a lot of it as it is" "Well I thought you would say that so I have sorted it out. I spoke to Ms Pepper Potts of Stark Industries yesterday, and she said that Mr Tony Stark is looking for a new assistant, I told her about you and emailed off your resume last night. She called me back this morning and told me that you had the job, you can start tomorrow and you have a flight tonight" "Mum I cannot thank you enough, well I should get packed then" "Yes you should, but before that, I have some more information to tell you. Our friends in New York have a penthouse apartment that is for sale, we bought it and it will be your home while you are earning your money for college. Also, no need to worry about splitting money for food and bills etc. there will be 5,000 dollars in your bank account every month, for you to use on food clothes and necessities"
I began crying "You do so much for me mum, I will make you proud, in my job and in my work at University. Thank you so much" I hugged her again "Now you go get packed, a driver will be here to take you to the airport in 3 hours "Ok mum"
I ran upstairs to my room, and began packing this was all so sudden but so amazing I was going to be going to New York, work as Tony Starks assistant, live in a penthouse apartment and I got into the college of my dreams.
*TIME LAPSE*
I put the last book in my day pack just as the driver pulled up.
I grabbed my bags, and suitcase, and half ran downstairs, I hugged my Mum once again "Thank you so much, the stuff you do for me is just incredible, words cannot describe it" "Anything for you darling" she kissed my forehead and I put my bags in the car.
*TIME LAPSE*
I stepped out of the plane, I was in New York City, wow, and it truly was amazing. I looked for cab, and saw a sign saying Ms Ceres, I walked over to it, and saw a man about in his mid-thirties, "Hi My name is Happy and I am your driver" "The name is Minerva Aphrodite Ceres" I shook his hand, "Pleased to meet you Ms Ceres" "Please call me Ev" "As you wish Evie"
I walked to the car, Happy placed the bags in the back and I entered the back seat, "So you are Mr Starks new assistant, good luck on that" "I've handled people worse than Stark, my family are close friends with Justin Hammer, I had an assistant job there when I was 15, it was terrible, he is the most annoying person ever, I physically hate him" "I hear you on that one".
We continued chatting until we appeared at my apartment block, "Would you like me to help you with those Evie?" he asked "No thanks, I can take it from here" "Well if I am departing from here, then there is some stuff I need to remind you about for your first day tomorrow" "Shoot" I replied "You will come to the tower at precisely 8am, Pepper will greet you at the door. You finish at 9pm every night, and in between you do everything Mr Stark needs, he asks for a coffee you get him a coffee, etc." "Thanks Happy, anything else I need to know?" "Don't dress like a slut Pepper will hate you, and just do whatever he says, if he asks you to go into the boxing ring, just play along with it, and I will be picking you up and dropping you off" he smiled at the latter, "Thanks Happy, Cya tomorrow morning"
I walked inside and got my key off reception, I walked into the apartment, and it was fully furnished wonderfully with views over New York, I into the master bedroom, and dumped my bag, this room was amazing, it had an entire wall of glass with an ornate balcony, I was lucky this penthouse was only a few stories high otherwise I may have fainted.
I settled into the apartment, I put all my books in the bookshelf, all the photos on the cabinet, and everything else in assorted places, I then attacked my wardrobe, sorting out my messy packing.
*TIME LAPSE*
*alarm beeping* "Screw you alarm" I said as I rolled over my large fluffy double bed, got out and looked at the view of New York, I can't believe that I will be waking up to this view every morning,
I sleepily walked into the walk in wardrobe, what would an assistant wear? I thought, I looked at my formal wear, and I had nothing, I had party dresses but I don't want to look like a slut at work, so I looked at my not super formal wear and found the perfect outfit, grey/black skinny jeans, a plain white singlet with a neat grey sweater over the top, a cute chunky jacket I got from my friend and some old ish dark blue converses, I don't really have many shoes, and these seemed fitting.
I grabbed my brown satchel bag, and walked out the door at 7:55 and happy was there waiting for me "Hey Happy" I said happily (hehehe) "Hello Evie" he replied, I hopped into the car and we went to Stark Tower.
We arrived shortly after at 8am precisely, Happy showed me to where I needed to go, and even stayed with me for the elevator ride.
We arrived at the top, today I was starting my job as Tony Starks new assistant, I was going to go to Culver University and I was going to study what I loved, I am so damn happy right now, Pepper greeted me at the top "Hi Ms Ceres come in" I walked into to Mr Starks lavish home, "Thank you for the opportunity Ms Potts, this is truly amazing" it was "No problem sweetie, your resume was quite extensive and very well done, you will fit perfectly here at Stark" "I hope so" we walked inside a bit when Pepper started discussing the job in more detail.
"You will be here to do Mr Starks every need, but you will also be with me a majority of the time, as I need help with paperwork and the press, you will also attend all the Stark events, and also help with any guests that are staying in the tower" she said, "Sounds fun" "Oh it is" Pepper replied sarcastically, "Well, let's get you and Mr Stark introduced shall we" "Ok then".
We walked up a set of stairs to Mr Stark's private laboratory/sciencey room thing, "Mr Stark this is Minerva Ceres, and she will be your new assistant" Mr Stark turned around, he looked at me as if scanning me "Approved she doesn't look like a bitch, she looks normal laid back, and she wears converses, unlike you who wears tight skirts shirts and heels, take a tip from her and loosen up" Ms Potts rolled her eyes "Anyhow, I have a meeting to attend to so I am gonna leave you guys too it" he waved her off and she whispered me a silent good luck.
Mr Stark continued scanning me "Do you need anything Mr Stark?" I asked, "No, you're just a normal looking non slutty assistant, who appears smart, and shy, not kind of the combo I'm used to" "Thanks? I suppose" I replied kind of confused, "Anyways I don't need anything at the moment so why don't you sit down and I can get to know you so it's not permanently awkward" "Sure, um where can I put my coat and jacket?" I asked "Just chuck them on the rack" he directed to a rack on the side of the room, I placed my coat and bag and sat back where I was before "So what would you like to know?" "Why you are here mainly" "Sure, well I am Minerva Aphrodite Ceres, I am 18 I am going to start university in 3 months and my parents are rich. Anything I missed?"
"Which university what are you studying and tell me about these rich parents" "Well I am going to Culver University" his eyes widened slightly and it looked like he became more interested then "I am going to be studying for a PhD in archaeology and another in cellular biology, and I have no idea how my parents got so rich, I grew up with it, all I know is that they are generally close with lots of people, and they are close friends with Justin Hammer" he looked a bit shocked and suspicious at this point but I continued anyway.
"He is the most annoying person ever, he is also my godfather and I did an internship at hammer industries when I was 15, but don't worry as I said I think he is the most annoying person ever and I hate him with a passion" I finished and Mr Stark looked visibly less worried "Well at least we have a mutual hate of Justin Hammer, now to some actual assistant like stuff, I have a guest coming over in 20 minutes and he will be staying a while here, so can you do a Starbucks run and get 1 large double shot espresso, and 1 weak skinny decaf latte, and then I think Pepper will want you to go to the main Stark building and you can learn the administration ropes" "Sure".
I went out of the tower and to the nearest Starbucks, got the orders and came back exactly 20 minutes later, I went into the tower, up to his apartment and into the lab, and sure enough there was a guest, "Ahh Ms Ceres your back, Bruce this is my new assistant, Ms Ceres meet Dr Bruce Banner" "Hi" I said nervously, he came up to me and shook my hand "Pleasure to meet you Ms Ceres" he spoke in an oddly calm manner, "And you too Dr Banner" "Please call me Bruce" "Ok, Bruce" I said shyly blushing "Will that be all Mr Stark?" I asked "That will be all Ms Ceres".
I walked out of the lab, and into the main area, I hoped Pepper would be here soon, and as soon as I thought that, she was.
"Hello again Ms Ceres, I take it you have acquainted yourself with Mr Stark" "Yes, over a mutual hate of Justin Hammer" I said sarcastically, Pepper let out a small laugh, "Well, I'll be taking you now to the Administration side of things, and you can learn the ropes on the technical side of the Stark" "Let's go then".
The rest of the day consisted of administration, learning the ropes at Stark and a few coffee runs for Mr Stark and Dr Banner.
"Cya later Pepper" "See you tomorrow Morning Ev"
