Summary
James, Henry, Azari, Torunn, and Francis beat Ultron and the iron avengers while creating a team greater than their parents. Now years have passed and they are all years older and have become strong and smarter. New enemies have come and been beaten. So what happens when Scarlet Witch a former hero now an enemy of the avengers comes looking for her daughter that was unrightfully taken from her shortly after she gave birth? The new avengers fight her off long enough to hear how Tony stole Scarlet's now 17-year-old daughter Alice from her in hopes of giving her a better life. Of course they don't believe her. Still seen as a villain Alice meets the avengers and only Francis thinks she is able to be good despite her mother's choices.
Prolog
I watch as my mother goes down the new avenger standing like the heroes they are above her. She curses them swearing she will get me back at any and all cost. They all look confused except for Tony who steals a small quick glance in my direction before he banishes her away. I shrink back into the shadows starting the long walk back to my home avoiding everyone and anything. Once there I look over my home a run down house that bearly has a roof and I sigh in frustration.
Why do I have to live in such poor conditions I've done nothing wrong... My thoughts are cut short when I hear a meowing and the nearly silent sound of paws on old wood until a small calico kitty jumps out towards me rubbing against my neck as I scratch behind her ears her purring is the only comfort I have in my house. Not long after I walk through the old doors another person walks through them. Tony Stark or as I call him twinkle toes.
"What do you want twinkle toes?" I ask a bit irritated
"I saw you today..." He begins
"No, really I'm shocked. It has been too long doncha agree?" I snap back
"What were you doing?"
"Watching my mother be banished from not only the country but also from my life." I say as I pet the little kitten
"I told you to stay here."
"And I told you I wouldn't. I'm seventeen years old almost a legal adult and you technically have not legal rights have me so long story short I don't have to listen to a dang word you say." I snap
"I have told you this story a long time ago. I couldn't keep you with the other kids because you couldn't control your powers." He says as he scrubs a hand down his face.
"Right so you decided to be the charitable man you are a dumb me in a secluded run down place while the others got to live in a nice house while three square meals a day." I say rolling my eyes
"Francis didn't live with me." He argues back
"So what at least he had a family and a roof." I mutter leaving him behind as I walk up the stairs.
"I came here not to scold you, but to tell you I think you are ready.." He starts
"Sweet I finally get a cake for my birthday!" I say with false excitement.
"Why are you so difficult?" He asks pulling at his hair
"Why did you steal me from my mother?" I snap
"I wanted you to have a better life then what she could have given you!"
"That's a load of bull but whatever I'll go pack... Oh yeah, that's right I have nothing of value to take with me. No pictures, no family air looms, not even a stupid toy that my mother bought me when I was a wee bit. All I have is one cat toy, a cat to play with it, and a bed." I mumble grabbing the one cat toy and shoving what little clothes I had into a bag before slinging it over my shoulder and facing him once again.
"Sorry twinkle toes, but I'm out of here." I say trying to brush past him. Instead of advancing forward I'm stuck in place by his rather large hand on my shoulder.
"Sorry kiddo but you don't get a choice."
I groan because I know he's right. So instead of kicking him where the sun doesn't shine I let him lead my to his car but that doesn't stop me from pouting the whole ride there. This should be interesting...
