The Avengers are at a loss when they realize more people are coming out with powers. Incredible powers. Powers that regular laws can't deal with. That's why when Marissa breaks into Stark Towers they need to do something or any enhanced kid could come waltzing in any time they want. It's the regular team and Vision but Pietro and Wanda are with Hydra so doesn't follow the timeline.

"So addressing our recent, erm, sustentative dilemma," Tony propped his elbows on the conference table, letting his sunglasses droop down his nose.
"No one picking up spicy Cheetos is not a 'sustentative dilemma' and we have more important matters to discuss," Steve scowled.
Vision squinted, his eyes skimming over the room. After a glimmer of confusion they locked with mine, "Little girl, I can read your bio signature."
Fuck.
Not moving I held my breath, praying he was talking about someone else. Anyone else.
"Wooohoo someone's malfunctioning," Clint leaned back, folding his hands behind his head.
"No, wait. What?" Tony stood up, "Where?"
Vision pointed his finger, landing accusingly at my chest. I took a small step away from the corner I'd called home, and his hand followed me unwaveringly.
With quick strides Tony pushed around the table, following Vision's finger with his eyes. I ducked instinctively as he reached out, biting my lip.
"There's no one here," Tony frowned.
"Down a bit," Vision prompted.
Nowhere else to go I winced as practiced fingers wrapped around my shoulder.
Natasha stood up instinctively as Tony hit home, eyebrow drawing together in confusion, "Is that-?"
Sheepishly I reappeared, completely out of options. Looking for any friendly face I was disappointed as I scanned Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Their eyes ran over my choppy blonde hair and school uniform, the skirt ripped by the knee from scooting through the main gate.
"We caught invisible girl. Next item?" Clint folded his arms.
"Woah. Woah," Tony put his free hand up, "Credit where credit's due. Vision?" he gestured to the android, "Nice catch."
"I aim to please," he nodded with a small smirk.
"Now, second order of business," he finally made eye contact with me and I cringed, "What the hell?"
"Hydra?" someone threw out.
"Another enhanced?"
"Uh! Buh," he gestured to me, "M'lady? What the hell."
Not really expecting it to get this far I licked my lips, unsure of what to say.
"Ah, Leave her be! She is but a child," Thor pounded the table with his fist, eyeing Tony pointedly.
"Fifteen actually," I murmured, "Almost sixteen."
"It speaks," Tony smirked, and I flushed red.
"Well- like," I struggled for words, suddenly feeling incredibly immature in a room of adults, "You- can do, uh, things. And I can do, this thing," almost involuntarily I disappeared and reappeared, forgetting Iron Man was latched onto my arm. He unconsciously tightened his grip to a painful level at the rush as he flashed in and out as well.
"Oh yeah," he held me a bit farther away, as if it would make a difference, "We're not doing that again."
"Sorry," I mumbled, feeling my cheeks light up, "But, I was, maybe- training?"
They all stared at me in silence.
"We'll have a hard enough time keeping her out," Clint joked lightly but the room was still tense.
"You can't be serious, she's a kid," Steve frowned, "Absolutely not."
"Fifteen," I muttered, "Still incredibly fifteen," I began to realize it wasn't nearly as impressive as I originally intended.
"Can, someone?" Tony looked over at me, "Outside? Now?"
Sighing with a lot more drama than I thought was necessary Captain America got to his feet, grabbing my bicep as he brushed by, "I didn't sign up for babysitting," he murmured, physically dragging me out. Nearly jogging to stay on my feet I gazed up at him as the conference room opened and closed behind us.
"So…" I bit my lip.
"Just- don't."
I nodded looking the other way. We sat in silence, his hold never loosening, until the doors reopened. Tony strut through, pushing his sunglasses onto his forehead, "Okay, you do, school? Right? Where."
"Midtown High."
"At like three? You're going to get picked up, come back here, and we'll talk about maybe an arrangement. Are your tiny needs satiated?"
Steve narrowed his eyes, pulling Tony to the side, "What are you doing?"
"Listen," Tony knocked his hand away, "She's young. She has power. She broke into frickin Stark Towers. If we don't deal with her you know who will? Hydra. Other people. Probably. Okay?"
Searching his face Steve nodded, stepping away, "Hey, kid."
"Marissa," I tried to hide my excitement. I was going to be trained. Probably. As an Avenger.
"C'mon, I'm driving you home."
Okay so I'm trying to write her kind of naïve, cause like how would you feel if you were fifteen and at least thought you were going to be trained as an Avenger? She's freaking pumped. Review or something I don't know. Follow the story. For Marissa.
Hydra's going to be heavily involved as the antagonist, and whether Ultron or Loki pop in is anyone's guess. Review for preference. I'm still working out the actual story so any suggestions are great. I'll probably update after the first review, just so I know I should keep going.
Anyway, you guys are lovely. I hope you enjoyed Age of Ultron as much as I did. Ciao.
