Lauren was wondering around Stark mansion looking for something to do. She was so bored that she was about to transport the mansion to somewhere where there was at least some entertainment. Lauren sighed and decided to go raid the fridge. 'Great' she thought realising that the fridge was empty. Lauren waved her hand and suddenly, the fridge was over flowing with food. Immediately, Lauren dove in. Luckily it was 6am and no one would be up to see her…wild side
"Hey Lauren…you really scare the crap outta me when you eat like that." Lauren turned with a chicken leg half chewed up in her hand. It was Tommy and Stella. Both were looking at her in their designer clothing and looking at her with wide eyes.
"Hey guys…where you two going?" Lauren asked having half of her chicken still in her mouth.
"We are just going to the mall" Lauren rolled her eyes. 'Not again' Lauren thought rolling her eyes.
"At this time? Hold on…Tommy you only wear that slutty top when you are going to bribe or make a deal with someone. Has this got to do with Nathan's birthday coming up?" Lauren looked at Tommy then to Stella. Both of them nodded.
"Have fun you two" Lauren said in a really scary tone, turning back to her food. Tommy and Stella walked out and went into Tommy's Ferrari and drove off to the mall. 'Stuff chewing' Lauren thought waving her hand yet again. This time the food disappeared and at the same time, Laruen's stomach was huge.
"Lauren!" someone exclaimed. With a fright, Lauren turned around to see her dad looking at her surprised and disgusted. "Laruen, you need to stop using magic for easy things. Your using up too much magic, soon, if you use it again and it uses too much energy…something bad will happen." Lauren just stared at her father in confusion. When she finally got what he was saying she was about to protest until Athena came running down the stairs screaming
"UNCLE LOKI!" she crashed into her uncle and gave him the biggest bear hug. Loki tensed a little.
"So. What are you doing here? I thought you were in Asgard." Loki looked at his two girls and smiled.
"I came here to say that something bad will happen if Lauren used her magic and wastes all her energy." With this Athena beamed
"I will watch her!" with this Loki nodded and walked to the couch. Just when he was about to ask something, Carmen stormed in with Nathan following her.
"Will you guys shut the fuck up?" Carmen, sensing that Nathan was behind her, turned sharply to face Nathan "And will you STOP FOLLOWING ME!" Nathan pouted.
"Aw come on Carmen, I keep on saying sorry…what else do I have to do?" With this Carmen growled and picked up a really thick looking book and chucked it at Nathan. He dodged it only to realise that the book landed on Harry where it hurt most.
"Holy shit! Nathan why did you do that?" Carmen laughed and strode over to Athena and Lauren.
"Rough night?" Lauren asked
"What do you think? Nathan and some chick were making too much noise." Loki looked at the three girls in a surprised look
"Oh, I didn't know that Loki was here…" Carmen said, shuffling awkwardly
"You have to remember that it is Nathan's birthday coming up." Loki said, chiming into the conversation
"You also have to remember that he is your god brother as well." Athena piped in
"I have remembered. That's why I AM ABOUT TO CHOP HIS BALLS OFF!" Nathan and Harry sneaked up behind Carmen and shocked her with a Taser, just to tick her off.
"Bloody hell, get back here you bastards!" Carmen yelled running after them with a face that reads 'kill'. Lauren and Athena looked at Loki who was staring at them as if to say 'This is a mad house'. The girls cracked up laughing. It was such a typical day for the young Avengers. Tommy and Stella are going somewhere together, Brendan probably still asleep, Harry and Nathan ticking off Carmen then regretting it when she does one of her classic pranks.
"Alrighty then. So… what is the limit to Lauren's use of power?" Athena asked with a little bit of concern. Loki stood and put his hands on Lauren's head.
"Well… It seems that you my dear, have been using magic for everything…so, I would say that she is not allowed to use her magic for 3 months."
"Three months?!" Lauren shouted, jumping up from where she was sitting, "How can I not use magic for three months?" With this, Loki smiled
"I guess you just have to…manage." With that Loki teleported to an unknown destination. Athena turned to Laruen
"Hey, cheer up! Let's go down to the beach…what do you say?"
"hmmpf. Fine." Laruen was just about to teleport when…
"Oh no you don't, you're taking the lift." Laruen sighed and walked over to the lift to grab her swimmers. Suddenly, there was a huge boom, and grey smoke appeared. Nathan, Harry and Brendan, all came out coughing. With a sigh, Lauren took a breath in and hoped she will make it to her room in time.
..ooOOOOOoo..
At the beach, Laruen and Athena were coming back from playing in the waves. Both puffed out, they collapsed onto the beach towel that was waiting for them in the open sun.
"That..was…fun" Athena said, still trying to catch her breath.
"Yeah. Too bad everyone couldn't make it." Suddenly a group of loud teenage boys suddenly ran across the beach with nothing on.
"Oh great. Now we can't go into the pool anymore." Athena said obviously in a pissed mood.
"wanna make them disappear?" Laruen asked hopeful
"No."
"Damn." One of the boys came up to the two demi-gods and inspected Lauren with curiosity in his eyes.
"Hey, you look like Loki…has anyone told you that?" Lauren and Athena stared at him casually. 'This is the millionth time someone has asked that.' Laruen thought.
"Um, yeah...that's because he's my dad." Lauren said... a little worried about what his reaction would be. The boy turned to his mates and called them
"Oi! Ty, Jake, guys, get over here! This Chic is Loki's daughter!"
"Holy shit what did I do" Lauren whispered to Athena whose reply was a shrug and a worried glance. The 5 boys came and gawked at the two.
"Are you Thor's daughter?" one of them asked. Clearly interested.
"Um….yeah." Athena whispered. Suddenly a whole interrogation process came
"Hey can you turn all frost giant like?"
"Do you have that hammer thing like your dad?"
"Is it scary to know that a lot of chics have a huge crush on bot of your dads?"
"Who's your mum?" the questions keep going on. Suddenly, Lauren could not take it anymore. She suddenly stood up and waked her hand, making all the boys glow green for a second, and then they were gone.
"LAUREN! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Athena screamed in Laruen's face. Becoming terrified about what Loki said about how something will be bad.
"It is not MY fault you fucking bitch"
"What did you just say?" Lauren looked at her confused.
"You just said that I was a fucking bitch!" Athena said with tears in her eyes. All of a sudden, at the back of her head, she could see herself as if she was Lauren.
'Hold on, this might be the bad thing that Loki was talking about.' Athena thought.
"Yeah…I can see what you can see and I can hear your thoughts!" Thought Lauren. Then her face became guilty.
"Umm…Athena, sorry about what I thought. I was just…angry."
"That's ok…hey something is weird…I can't hear the beach anymore." Laruen's eyes widened.
"…"
'Holy shit I can't talk! Athena help me! And I think your deaf… I really shouldn't have done that.'
'You think? Hey…where did the boys go?' Athena asked
'I think Texas or New Jersey.'
'I think we need to work with each other. You do the hearing, I do the talking. I have a feeling that the Young Avengers will have something wrong with them as well.'
With that, Lauren and Athena grabbed their stuff and sprinted to the Young Avenger beach house.
..ooOOOOOoo..
When Lauren and Athena got to the house, they found a whole lot of arrows spread across the walls.
'At least some things haven't changed.' Athena thought
"CARMEN, HARRY, BRENDAN, NATHAN! GET YOUR LAZY ASSES DOWN HEAR." The boys came immediately with terrified looks on their faces.
"what the hell happened to you guys?"
"Carmen went mad…we…kinda trashed her room….she had a fit…now….we have no idea where she is..." Harry said looking from side to side like a meerkat.
"CARMEN!" Athena shouted, making the whole house shake. 20 seconds later, Carmen came stumbling in with a towel wrapped around her with an angry expression.
"what." Carmen snapped.
"uh…were you in the shower this whole time" Nathan asked hiding behind Brendan as well as Harry
"What the hell do you think? Towel, wet hair…coming into the room after everyone else… you take a guess" Nathan looked at his feet.
"May I say Carmen that you look good with a towel on you?" Brendan commented. Hoping to get on her good side.
"just cut the crap. I still remembered what you did and I will get you back…but I really can't be fucked so I will to it tomorrow morning."
"We have a situation. Lauren's power is gone temporarily and Loki said something bad will happen. Lauren and I share our thoughts and sight. Lauren here can't talk and I can't hear. Anything wrong with you guys?" The four of them looked at each other with a scared expression. Harry opened his mouth to say something until he was interrupted by a girlish scream
"LLLLAAAAUUUUUURRRREEEEENNNNN N" the voice no one knew. It sounded like a guy.
"Please don't tell me it is one of your drunk friends" Nathan asked Carmen who simply shook her head.
"Sorry who are you?" Carmen said in a sickly sweet tone.
"It's TOMMY and STELLA" everyone's mouth dropped.
"Holy shit, Lauren is so sorry."
"Yeah? Why doesn't she say it herself?" The boy with blond hair asked.
"Because Lauren wasted her powers, she can't talk, I can't hear and we share each other's thoughts and sight." Athena said a little too fast. The boy with brown hair had tanned skin and dark brown hair with brown eyes. He looked a little like Tony, so it was Tommy. The other boy on the other hand had blond hair and blue eyes. This guy would make girls drool. So it had to be Stella.
"We had to buy an outfit for a guy so any of you guys want them when we go to ourselves?"
"DIBS!" Harry shouted. Freaking out Carmen.
"Wait…why are we normal…and you guys are…you know…"
"Lauren has a feeling that something worse will happen to you guys in the morning because more powerful magic takes longer."
"Something more awful that what happened to those two? Ok that is bad." Carmen said. Smirking when she saw the evil glares that the two now guys were giving her.
"what will be the bad thing that will happen to Carmen…she is bad enough already" Nathan said, then receiving a punch in the shoulder from Carmen.
"It might not be bad for us…but bad for her" with that Carmen sprinted to her room, locking the door behind her.
"We just have to wait till the morning" Brendan said. Still coming out of his shock from when Tommy and Stella entered as guys.
..ooOOOOOoo..
Nathan and Brendan were the first to wake up. Nathan knocked on Brendan's door and thanked god for Brendan not having a roommate.
"What" Brendan asked sounding really tired. The problem was that Brendan and Nathan were facing each other. They suddenly realise that this is what the 'bad' thing that was going to happen.
"You're me when I was 17!" Nathan shouted coming face to face with himself.
"You're me….when I am gonna be like in 5 years!" Brendan shouted back he himself was 21 but to see himself when he was going to be like when he was 26 was too scary for him.
"Hey have you seen Harry, I didn't see him when I was getting up this morning."
"Nah. Just some guy that STOLE MY BODY" Brendan shouted. Being scared out of his mind
"Do you think we should see Carmen…see what is going wrong with her?" With this Brendan smiled.
"Hell yeah" with that the two boys walked over to the next room to which Carmen was in. Nathan knocked on the door four times.
"Coming!" chirped Carmen. Nathan and Brendan exchanged worried glances. Carmen opened the door and beamed seeing it was Brendan and Nathan.
"Good morning boys! Would you like to come in?" Carmen asked. When she suddenly said
"Fuck this why am I being so fucking polite? HOLY SHIT Nathan, your 17!" Nathan chuckled
"Actually Carmen, it is me Brendan."
"Really? I couldn't tell because you two are so handsome…Fucking hell, Handsome?"
"Thanks Carmen." The two said. All of a sudden the two boys saw a glimpse of a vine growing rapidly across her arm. Carmen saw and slammed the door in front of the boy's faces.
"Did you see that?" Brendan (who was actually Nathan) nodded. With that, the two knocked down the door to see Carmen on her bed with her arms wrapped around her legs looking blank. The two realised that the whole room was slowly becoming more and greener. Vines were growing everywhere and a light of sun was shining down on Carmen who was holding a dart and looking at it sadly.
"oh my god. Carmen you….vines….what the hell?" Nathan screamed. Carmen got up and the floor around her turned to grass when she stepped on the floor and disappeared when she took a step off it. The Vines were following her on the walls and the light disappeared waiting for her to stand still so it can shine on her. Nathan and Brendan went to find everyone so that they can see this.
"You know something…when I am around Carmen, I want to follow her around everywhere and not loose sight of her…is that strange?" the young Nathan said looking at Brendan
"Umm…no. when I was 17 Carmen and I were the best of friends and we did everything together. So… I think that it is better for the moody 17 year old me to actually hang around Carmen and share a room." Brendan said looking at himself, his old self.
"Hell no!" Brendan shouted
"Why? Carmen is not at all bad when you get to know her!"
"I don't want to know her…for all I know, she will kill me in my sleep!" with that Brendan pinned Nathan on the wall
"Carmen is a really good person on the inside. When she feels like you are her friend, she will be a really good friend." Nathan stared at Brendan then he now knew why Carmen was so friendly towards Lauren and Nathan.
"Ok, fine. But why?"
"Because I had…issues that Carmen took care of when I was your age."
"HEY!"
Once the two boys got all the young avengers (except Harry and Carmen) they lead them to the kitchen to see Carmen making brunch with the vines climbing the kitchen walls
"Ok. You were right, this is BAD" Stella said
"So…switched bodies huh?" Tommy asked
"yeah and he is a 16 year old version of me and I am a 17 year old version of him" Nathan said
"Hey guys! Want breakfast?" everyone dug in. about 10 minutes into the meal; a green swirl went over Carmen.
"What the hell was that?" Athena asked
"Oh sweet fucking Jesus! I have no idea what in the hell is wrong with me but there is this person inside me that is making me be nice, NICE!"
"And, she is back" Brendan said.
"Look, Brendan let me get this straight; you are Nathan when he was 17."
"yup" Carmen looks at Nathan who blushes.
"Will he…"
"Yup. He needs to share your room."
"Urgh fine. I will get the room ready but after that, anyone up for some shooting?" No one replied, enjoying the brunch too much. Brendan nods to say that he will be coming.
..ooOOOOOoo..
Carmen, Brendan and Nathan were all in the massive an) was beating up a training dummy and Carmen was getting ready to shoot one of her arrows at a target. Once she was ready, Carmen aimed and shot the arrow. It missed the target entirely; it whizzed about 2 meters away from the target and stopped dead in the air, followed by a scream. Carmen knew it was Harry, she had heard the same scream too many times.
'Whaaaatttt thhhheeeee FUCK!' Harry yelled
"what happened?" asked Nathan. Both him and Brendan saw the whole thing and the two were walking to the invisible harry.
"Carmen, I thought you were good at aiming!" Brendan shouted, who then collided into the invisible Harry.
"Harry, you do realise that you are invisible." Nathan asked
"what do you think? For the whole entire morning, I was watching Tommy, Stella and Athena sleep. I swear to god that nothing can wake them up." Carmen rolled her eyes.
"I really don't want you to walk around the whole entire place without being seen." Brendan said
"I think that my archery has gone..." Carmen whispered. Looking at the arrow that she had just picked up.
"Nah, just something that surprised you. Shoot again and we'll see." Nathan said, giving her the bow that she was using beforehand. With a sigh, Carmen took the bow and lined the arrow up. She waited for a couple of seconds before releasing the arrow and again, the arrow missed the target by a lot and shattered through the glass. Tommy and Stella were walking around close to the window and all of a sudden an arrow just missed Tommy's foot.
"I have just thought of a new weapon to work on" Tommy said with a small grin, holding up the arrow and running back to the work shop
Back to the training room Brendan, Nathan and Harry were looking out the window while Carmen sat in front of the target thinking of how she can do missions now. The vines were spreading around everywhere until the training room walls were covered in vines.
"Carmen…I could teach you hand to hand combat….so that you can get better." Brendan offered.
"No thanks" Carmen said getting up "Harry, come here." She stood for a second, thinking whether or not Harry left. Then she suddenly jumped and squealed
"Harry!" Carmen said looking around the room.
"What happened?" Nathan asked
"Harry tapped me on the ass and that was NOT COOL" Carmen put her hand out
"Harry, hold my hand" within a few seconds Harry put his hand on hers
"What are you gonna do?" Harry asked
"I am gonna make you visible…sort of." Carmen replied, dragging the invisible Harry out of the room and to her own room
"so…Halo?" Brendan asked
"Hell yeah"
..ooOOOOOoo..
In Carmen's room Harry sat on her bed watching her grab a whole lot of bandages.
"You're not gonna wrap me in those are you?" Harry asked
"No. what is gonna happen to you is that your guts are gonna spill out and then we can see you."
"ha ha very funny Carmen. Why do you hate me so much?"
"I dunno…you hated me first? Look, forget about that just go into your room and grab some cloths. Then maybe, we can bandage or paint your arms. I will meet you in the kitchen" with that Harry nodded and went to do what Carmen had just asked while thinking back to see who started the rivalry.
..ooOOOOOoo..
Tommy gathered up all the girls to her work shop to show them her latest invention. Athena and Lauren were a little too eager to see what the new invention Tommy had just created was. Stella was keeping an eye on Carmen, who had a history of breaking Tommy's new weapons. When Tommy placed the little gadget onto the table, Athena had to stop Lauren from practically jumping on top of the invention and start using it and get someone hurt.
"Ok girls, today an arrow had almost hit me in the foot and an idea popped into my head. This little beauty is for everyone who is in a little bit of a struggle in a combat." The gadget looked like a normal bracelet that was in the shape of a snake that was coiled. It had extremely sharp head and the eyes gleamed red the snake itself was green in colour and there was a brown patch on the back of the bracelet.
"So you just put it on your wrist like a normal bracelet then when you are becoming…weak, you press the patch. Now watch what happens" With that Tommy straitened her hand out towards the wall and pressed the patch. In a swift movement, the snake began to move down her hand and when it reached her hand, it flew across the room and imbedded itself into the wall, scaring the crap out of Stella who was only a meter away.
'that is sooo cool! LEMME HAVE IT' Lauren thought, leaping for the other snake bracelet only to be stopped by Tommy and Athena. With a huff, Lauren walked over to one of Tony's old suits. Lauren had always been fascinated by Tommy's father's suits. Lauren reached out to touch the place where the arc glowed. As she put her hands on the cold metal, the suit exploded, sending lots of pieces of the old suit all around the room. All of a sudden, Stella had a grip on Lauren's wrist, examining it closely. She pulled Lauren to an empty basket and made her touch it. Sure enough, the basket was no more than a heap of material.
"I think that whatever Lauren touches that is not alive, will be destroyed." Stella announced.
"huh, that could come in handy in battle…well…if we can go into battle." Athena said, looking at Carmen. Word had quickly got around that Carmen had lost her archery skills. This was very worrying for everyone because now, Carmen was vulnerable and she knew it.
"Are you saying that I cannot go into battle just because I can't shoot?" Carmen challenged
"uh YEA you only rely on bows and arrows archer girl" Tommy said
"Oh really little miss sideboard. I think that you are more vulnerable than everyone here because all you have is a piece of armour that has weapons in it."
"Bitch please, the only thing that you have right now is vines that climb the walls and follow you around."
"It is really funny because I cannot take you seriously because you are a guy right now." Carmen giggled which only got Stella and Tommy mad.
"Umm Carmen, looks like you pulled a nerve there so…stop" Athena said a little scared. Carmen's face suddenly got into killing mode. The vines on the walls stopped crawling away from her but they started to crawl over her, wrapping themselves on her arms, legs and stomach. One vine in particular crawled to her throat and tightened making her choke.
"Um, guys we should help" Athena said
"Hell no...She is faking like usual" Stella snapped
"Lauren and I don't think so" They all watched Carmen being stangeled. Seeing her rising into the air with a whole bunch of vines that were tightening their grasp made everyone think again. With that the girls ran and started ripping the vines off of Carmen. Once they finally succeded, Carmen collapsed on the floor panting.
"Ok…I think we should ask Loki to help."
