Our story begins with two sisters who have traveled the universe to go to different worlds because of their mother, Uni the Goddess. Their names are Ashley Demon and Victoria Angel, and today they are taking on the biggest and busiest city in the world: New York City. Uni told them of the many problems the city has and gave the girls a place to stay and places to work. The girls were excited that they are in New York City, and are eager to start working.
"Good luck to you girls." Uni said as she left the girls outside of their new house. "If you need me, I'm just a call away." With that said, she vanished.
Ashley and Victoria looked at each other and shrugged as they went inside their new home. They liked how it was a nice, simple house with plenty of space. A simple two level home, fit for the two sisters.
"Well," Ashley said, "Guess we better head to our new jobs now huh?" Victoria only sighed and nodded as the morning sun peaked above the horizon. They headed out to the city to go to their jobs. Victoria works at the Daily Bugle and Ashley works at Stark Towers.
It's been about a week since the girls have been in NYC and they love it. The girls made friends while at their jobs and enjoy it. Though Victoria doesn't like her boss at the Daily Bugle, she luckily has her best friend/co-worker Peter Parker to help her through the day. Ashley's boss is Tony Stark, and the two don't always see eye to eye on some days. Despite being on the top four floors of the Stark towers, (which has about 20+ floors) Ashley goes and hangs with her workers who are in the middle floors of the tower.
Today is a beautiful Friday morning for the girls as they head off to work. As they were leaving the house, Victoria had called a cab while Ashley took her bike to work. Before leaving, Ashley waved to her sister and called out. "Have fun at work!" Victoria only sighed as a cab pulled up for her. Their house is just about two blocks from Stark towers, but six from Daily Bugle. Victoria got into the cab and headed to the Daily Bugle.
Once Victoria made it to the Bugle, Peter was there waiting for her at the entrance door.
"Morning Peter," Victoria said catching up to him. "How are you?" He held out a frappuccino, and Victoria smile as she took it.
"I'm doing alright." Peter said. "Ready for work?" She glanced at him as she sipped her drink, with a look. "Yeah same here." They both laughed and headed inside. As they got up to the Top Floor, they saw JJ, in his office, yelling on the phone.
"There he goes again," Peter said sighing. "This may mean that we have a meeting in a few minutes." Victoria only nodded in agreement. Once they got to their desks, JJ opened his office doors and yelled.
"MEETING IN 20 MINUTES FOR THE NEW STORY LINES!" then he went back into his office. Peter and Victoria rolled their eyes as he went back in.
"Well," Victoria said, "I better get back to my paper from yesterday."
"Yeah," Peter said. "I got to make sure the photos I took came out good. See you at the meeting." He waved as he left.
Twenty minutes went by, and the Daily Bugle members all went to the meeting room, where JJ was patiently waiting. Once everyone sat down, JJ began the meeting.
"Alright gang," JJ said. "The papers this week have been selling like crazy because of our side stories, and not the main stories. Our main stories need to be BETTER! I'm willing to take suggestions." Everyone looked at each other, but only shrugged. JJ sighed.
"Well," one of the employees said "why not write a story on how the public is either scared or not with the heroes that are in our city?" JJ looked at the employee with a look.
"What do you mean?" JJ said.
"Oh, I get it." Victoria said. "The public is either afraid of these heroes or they feel safe with them living inside the city."
"Ohhh," JJ said understanding. "…GENIUS! I want you guys to get interviews, pictures, and a story by the end of this week! Got it? Meeting dismissed!" Everyone left the meeting room after JJ left first.
The Daily Bugle members all went to where they need to do. Peter and Victoria had their cameras and notepads as they walked outside of the Daily Bugle. They put on their sunglasses as the sun's beams shined across buildings and caused a few glares.
"This is gonna be interesting," Peter said. "Don't ya think?"
"Agree." Victoria said as they looked around. "We better find some people to interview then, huh?" Peter nodded.
They walked around the streets asking people to answer a few questions for a quick interview. Some people cooperated, while others just ignored and were rude. After they walked around the streets for about two hours, Peter offered to buy lunch at Panera. Victoria gave him a smile and they both went to Panera to order lunch.
As they ate their lunch, they went over the interviews and photos they took.
"Some people can be so rude," Victoria said looking at her notepad. "I mean, really? 'Can I ask you a question?' 'NO, GET OUT OF MY WAY!'" Peter snickered at Victoria's imitation of some of the people.
"Well, this is New York," Peter said looking at his pictures. "But at least we were able to get some people to answer. And a lot were giving the same answers too."
"Which one got the most?" Victoria asked.
"Many people said that they that they are afraid," Peter said. "And I wasn't too surprised either. I figured that many would say that."
"You did?" Victoria said in shock.
"Yeah," Peter said. "I have to agree with most of why they are afraid." Victoria looked back at her notepad and reread it. Then she nodded as she read it in understanding.
"Now I see." Victoria said. "They are afraid because they don't know if the hero is actually a person or something else, that maybe perhaps non-human." Peter nodded.
"Makes sense," Peter said. "Cause sometimes I wonder if Iron Man is actually just a robot or The Hulk isn't a real person. Ya know?"
"Agree." Victoria said. Then Victoria's phone lit up. She looked at it and it was a text message from Ashley.
"Who is it?" Peter asked.
"My sister, Ashley." Victoria said reading the message. "Her boss must've gotten word of what we are doing."
"Say what?" Peter said in surprised. Victoria nodded.
"Yeah," Victoria said. "Her boss is throwing a party and is inviting certain amount of people but is inviting the Heroes of our city. And it's being held tomorrow night."
"Are you invited?" Peter said. Victoria nodded. "Lucky." Peter sipped his drink
"So are you." Victoria said as she read the message. Peter coughed a bit on his drink. "Are you ok?" as Peter coughed a bit.
"I'm fine." Peter said inhaling. "Why am I invited?" Victoria shrugged.
"Are you a friend of Tony Stark?" Victoria asked. Peter looked away for a second and then nodded. "Really?! Why didn't you tell me?"
"I only see him on certain occasions." Peter said shyly. "It's maybe once a month." Victoria puffed her cheeks and then sighed.
"Lucky." Victoria said as Peter only smiled. "Well, we better get back to the Bugle to turn in what we have so far." Peter and Victoria left Panera (after Peter paid) and went back to the Daily Bugle.
Once they got there, they showed JJ what they got so far and then began to work on editing their story. After about 2 hours of editing and putting a story together, Victoria and Peter's shift was over. They saved their work, and clocked out of work. Other employees were clocking out as well as Victoria and Peter left. Walking out of the DB building, Peter and Victoria talked about how the story is going as they walked down the streets.
Peter made Victoria laugh at times as they walked down the streets. They kept walking until they ended up by Victoria and Ashley's house.
"Oh wow." Victoria said. "We walked all the way to my house?" Peter looked and smiled.
"Guess we did." Peter said laughing a bit. Then he and Victoria walked up the sidewalk, just a few feet from the front door.
"Thanks Peter," Victoria said.
"You're welcome." Peter said smiling. "I guess I'll see you at the party then huh?" Victoria smiled and nodded.
"Definitely." Victoria said. Peter smiled and let Victoria walk to her door. She turned to wave 'bye' to Peter as he waved back. Peter left Victoria's house as she went inside.
"I'm home." Victoria said as she entered her home. Ashley came down the stairs and hugged her sister.
"Glad you're home." Ashley said. "How was work?"
"It was ok." Victoria said. Then she narrowed her eyes at Ashley who had some dinner ready. "Does your boss have spies at our place?"
"No why?" Ashley said raising an eyebrow.
"JJ talked about a title for the papers," Victoria said. "About if the people of NY are afraid or feel safe with the Heroes of this city. I only ask because the moment Peter and I finished our part of the work, I get a text from you about the party tomorrow."
"Oh that," Ashley said annoyed. "Tony believed that the heroes need some interacting with the people of NY. And me, being his secretary, had to send out the invitations. And it was a pain because of how many people he is inviting." Ashley served some pasta and meatballs.
"Besides the heroes?" Victoria said. Ashley nodded.
"Yup," Ashley said. "And it's being held at his tower."
"At his tower!?" Victoria said shocked. Ashley nodded again.
"Trust me," Ashley said. "He has PLENTY of room."
"Wait," Victoria said. "What are we supposed to wear?"
"Dress formal…" Ashley said irritated. Victoria gasped.
"OMG! WE NEED TO GO SHOPPING!" Victoria said.
"We have time." Ashley said drinking a cup of milk. Victoria calmed down a bit and they both finished their meal. "We can go shopping in the morning, ok?" Victoria nodded as they cleaned up their dishes and went in to their family room to watch some movies.
The next morning, Victoria, being excited as ever, was already up and ready to go shopping. Ashley woke up and had her quick cup of coffee. As she finished, Victoria, eager as ever, grabbed Ashley and ran out the door. They hit many stores to try and find a dress for the party. It took them a while but then they finally found a dress for themselves. Ashley found a semi-long red dress with a few rhinestones around the shoulders. It was a tank-top dress and she had some jewelry to match it. Victoria found a long blue dress that had a gradient color to it; the color goes from a dark blue to a light blue from the top to the bottom. The dress was a one shoulder strap with a bow-like ribbon on the strap. She also had jewelry to match her dress as well. Once they bought their dresses, they went home to get ready. The party starts in less than two hours.
An hour and a half went by and the girls were dressed and ready to go! They were heading out of their house when a limo pulled up to their house.
"We get a limo!?" Victoria said in excitement. Ashley smiled and nodded as her sister. Victoria squealed with joy. Though Ashley knew who did it and was irritated, she didn't mind because it was nice of her boss to do this. Then the limo's back doors opened and it was Ashley's co-worker, Becky. Becky is wearing a semi-long teal dress with white rhinestones along the bottom of the dress. She smiled and gestured the girls to come in. They got into the limo and they headed to Stark Towers.
In the limo ride on the way to Stark Towers, Victoria and Beck were introduced to each other. Then all three began talking about their work and their lifestyles.
"You work at the Daily Bugle, huh?" Becky asked Victoria. "It must be fun working with JJ." Ashley snickered as Victoria rolled her eyes.
"Oh, just loads of Fun." Victoria said being sarcastic. Becky and Victoria laughed along with Ashley. Moments later, they arrived at Stark Towers. Red carpet and paparazzi were there in a line at the doors of the tower.
"Oh my god!" said Victoria as she saw flashes go off outside of the limo. "Paparazzi and a red carpet?"
"Yeah," Ashley said "We are having Heroes show up, remember?"
"Oh that's right." Becky said. "I totally forgot that part. Only because I thought we were the stars." The girls laughed as the limo pulled up to the red carpet. The door of the limo opened up and the three walked onto the red carpet. Then, paparazzi were all over them with their cameras and questions.
"Miss Ashley, how does it feel to work for Tony Stark?" "Miss Becky, do you like this party?" They were being bombarded until they got into the building.
Gasping for air and rubbing their eyes, the girls looked at each other and laughed.
"That was my first time with so many cameras," Ashley said. "I'm surprised that I haven't gone blind yet."
"I'm used to a camera," Victoria said. Becky looked at Victoria with a look and then laughed.
"That's right," Becky said. "Your job requires you use a camera. I'll agree with Ashley though." They laughed as they headed to an elevator.
"The party is on the top two floors," Ashley said as the elevator doors opened. They got into the elevator and waited for the doors to close.
The elevator doors began to close, when a hand stopped it. The girls looked and saw a man with long blonde hair and blue eyes (and really tall) holding the door. Another man was behind him. The other man had black semi-long hair, green eyes, and was looking at the blonde haired guy with annoyance.
"Excuse me, ladies," The blonde man said. "Is this going up to the top floor?" Ashley was staring at the blonde with little hearts above her head.
"Yes it is," Becky said.
"Do you mind if we join you?" The blonde one said.
"Sure." Ashley said. The blonde man smiled at Ashley, who blushed. Then the two men went into the elevator with the girls. As the doors closed and the elevator rose, introductions were made.
"So what's your name, sir?" Victoria asked the blonde man.
"I'M THOR OF ASGARD!" Thor said in his loud voice. Ashley, Victoria and Becky were shocked that Thor is in the same elevator as them. Then they snickered at his intro a little bit.
"And I'm Loki, his brother." Loki said holding out a hand towards Victoria, who shook his hand. Thor and Ashley shook hands as well.
"My name is Ashley," Ashley said "and this is my sister, Victoria and my friend, Becky."
"A pleasure to meet you, ladies," Thor said. "I hope we will see each other at the party." Ashley nodded in agreement.
Then the elevator doors opened up, and the group got out. Loki waved bye to the girls, while Thor gave Ashley a kiss on her hand before leaving. Turning red as a tomato, Ashley smiled as Thor and Loki left.
"Oooooo!" Becky said scaring Ashley. "Someone's got a crush on Thor!" Ashley looked at Becky and glared as Victoria laughed in agreement.
"Let's just get to the party," Ashley said turning away from the girls. They walked towards another pair of doors and opened them up.
There were about 50+ people gathered in the room, with music blasting and lights flashing everywhere. As the girls walked towards the crowd of people, Victoria heard her name being called. She looked and saw Peter coming over to her.
"Peter!" Victoria said. "You made it!"
"Yup." Peter said "You look very lovely in the dress by the way." Victoria smiled at Peter as Ashley and Becky walked over to Victoria.
"Oh, Peter," Victoria said. "This is my sister, Ashley. And this is her co-worker/friend, Becky. Girls, this is Peter Parker." Peter shook hands with Ashley and Becky.
"So you're the one who works with my sister at the Bugle huh?" Ashley said smiling. "You guys make a great team."
"Ha-ha, Thanks." Peter said smiling. Then a voice booming over the music scared the group.
"I AM THOR, GOD OF THUNDER AND LIGHTING!" Thor's voice echoed through the room as he said his name. Ashley, Victoria, Becky and Peter all looked at each other and then laughed.
"Ahh," Becky said, "Though we just met him, Thor definitely has a great sense of causing humor." Ashley and Victoria nodded in agreement and Peter only snickered.
Then Ashley heard her name being called. She lowered her eyes as she turned around and saw her boss, Tony, walking towards her.
"Ashley!" Tony said "Glad to see you tonight. And Becky too!" Becky only smiled as Ashley glared in annoyance.
"Good evening to you, Mr. Stark" Ashley said. "Great party, I see."
"Oh yes," Tony said. "You are looking very nice this evening, Ashley. Perhaps you need to dress like that more often." Ashley gave Tony a look as he chuckled.
"I'm only dress like this for special occasions," Ashley said annoyed.
"Of course" Tony said. Then he saw two other people behind Ashley and Becky. "And who might these two be?" Tony looked at Victoria, who blushed a bit and looked away as he gave her a wink.
"Mr. Stark," Ashley said. "This is my sister, Victoria, and her co-worker/friend, Peter." Tony shook Peter's hands and held Victoria's hand.
"You're looking very beautiful tonight, Miss. Victoria," Tony said kissing her hand. Victoria blushed.
"Thank you, Mr. Stark." Victoria said.
"Please call me Tony." Tony said smiling. "Please enjoy yourselves here at my party and don't forget to enjoy the company of our Heroes of this city." Tony waved to the group and left them.
"Tony is still the same idiot boss I know," Ashley said. Becky laughed as Victoria and Peter just shrugged. "Let's go and enjoy ourselves now." They went and enjoyed the party.
Ashley and Becky were on the dance floor dancing to a song, when a hand tapped on Ashley's shoulder. She turned around and saw Thor and immediately turned red.
"Miss Ashley," Thor said, "May I have this dance?" He held a hand out to her. Becky nudged Ashley, who took Thor's hand.
"Okay." Ashley said, smiling. Becky watched Thor and Ashley dance to a slow song that came on.
"Such a cute couple," Becky said, smiling.
Victoria and Peter were over by the bar to get a drink when a voice echoed in Victoria's ear.
"Hello buddy!" Victoria turned and saw Deadpool!
"Deadpool!" Victoria said as he laughed. "I should've known."
"Deadpool?" Peter said. "You got invited too?"
"Of course," Deadpool said. "Tony said that heroes are invited." Deadpool was in a tux, but he still had his mask on.
"But I thought you were a neutral?" Peter said.
"That may be true," Deadpool said. "But I'm mostly a good guy. Besides I was shocked to see my buddy here."
"Buddy?" Peter said in confusion. Deadpool hugged Victoria, who got a bit annoyed.
"Deadpool and I have been buddies since I've moved to NY." Victoria said sighing. "Let's just keep it at that."
"Uh, ok," Peter said snickering as Deadpool held Victoria like a stuffy.
"Deadpool," Victoria said trying to get him off her. "Let me go, now." Deadpool shook his head.
"Nuuuu! I don't wanna!" He said holding on to Victoria. Trying to think of a plan of escape, an idea came into mind.
"Deadpool," Victoria said. "Have I told you that I have a sister?" Deadpool moved Victoria in front of him.
"You have a sister?" Deadpool said raising an eyebrow. Victoria nodded
"Yep," Victoria said. "And she is a fan of your swords."
"She likes my swords?" Deadpool said with excitement.
"Yup." Victoria said. Deadpool fixed himself a bit.
"Where is she at, if I may ask?" Deadpool said.
"She is…" Victoria looked around the room and then spotted Ashley dancing with Thor. "On the dance floor, but she is currently dancing with Thor." Deadpool let Victoria go.
"I will catch you guys later," Deadpool said winking. "I got a date with a fan." He vanished into the crowd.
"Did you tell him a lie or truth?" Peter said.
"Truth." Victoria said. "Ashley was always a fan of Deadpool since we were kids. One main reason was the way he used swords, and Ashley is a HUGE fan of swords and katanas. She has a few swords at home that she practices moves with."
"Wow!" Peter said. "That's pretty cool." Victoria smiled. They sat down and had a drink together.
On the dance floor, Ashley and Thor were enjoying dancing with each other. They danced to many songs and got to know each other during many of the songs that played. To Ashley, it felt like a dream that was never gonna end. Then as a song ended, and everyone clapped, a hand tapped on Ashley's shoulder. Ashley looked and saw Deadpool standing next to her.
"Deadpool!" Ashley said in shock.
"I do not mean to interrupt you guys," Deadpool said, "But do you mind if I have the next dance with this young lady?"
"Of course," Thor said. Deadpool held a hand out to Ashley, who hesitated at first, but then took his hand. "See you around, Miss Ashley." He blew her a kiss as Deadpool walked away with her. Ashley smiled and waved to Thor. Then Deadpool and Ashley danced to many songs and got to know each other, just like she did with Thor. They enjoyed dancing to many songs, until Ashley got tired and told Deadpool she needs to rest for a few minutes. Deadpool let her rest as he continued to dance on the dance floor. At times he would dance with everyone, then he would go and do random dances that made some people laugh. Especially when he decided to try and do "Gangnam style". That's when everyone couldn't help but laugh and go along with him.
Victoria and Peter sat at the bar talking and laughing when they saw Ashley walk off the dance floor and joined Becky on the other side of the room.
"Looks like she's tired," Peter said drinking his drink.
"Well, she was dancing for a while," Victoria said sipping hers. Then Tony came over to them.
"Good evening Peter and Victoria," Tony said. "Enjoying the party?"
"Of course," Victoria said. "I'm just enjoying a drink for right now." Peter nodded in agreement.
"I see," Tony said. "Now, would it be too much to ask, if I may have the next dance with you?" He held a hand out to her. Victoria glanced at Peter, who only nodded. Smiling, Victoria took Mr. Stark's hand, and they went to the dance floor.
Peter watched Victoria and Tony dance on the floor, when a hand tapped his shoulder. He turned and saw Ashley and Becky.
"Where's my sister?" Ashley asked.
"On the dance floor," Peter said rolling his eyes. "With Mr. Stark."
"What!?" Ashley said. She looked and saw them dancing. Ashley glared towards Tony, but then sighed. "As long as he doesn't do anything stupid, I'll just leave them be."
"Yeah," Becky said. "Besides, they look like their having fun."
"I guess." Ashley said. Peter looked around the room for a second and saw Steven Rogers (aka Cap. America) talking to Bruce Banner, who was drinking a glass of wine.
"Whoa," Peter said. "Hey girls, it's Bruce Banner and Steven Rogers."
"Where?" Becky said. Ashley and Becky looked in the direction Peter pointed to.
"Captain America and the Hulk," Ashley thought to herself.
"OMG," Becky said, "Steven is cute!" Ashley only shrugged. "But who's Bruce Banner?"
"He's a scientist," Peter said. "He works on his own and can create some interesting inventions. But he does his best if he puts his mind to it." Ashley snickered at Peter's comment.
"What kind of scientist?" Becky asked.
"If my information is correct," Ashley said. "He is great in biology, chemistry, engineering, physiology, and nuclear physics. They say that his mind is 'So brilliant, it cannot be measured by any known intelligence test.'" Becky's mouth dropped in shock.
"So he's smarter than Tony?" she asked "Or just an inventor?" Ashley and Peter laughed at Becky's comments.
"Only if he puts his mind to it," Peter said laughing a bit. "Bruce and Tony are best friends anyways, so they get along great." Becky stared at Bruce with little hearts above her head.
"Why don't you go talk to him?" Ashley said nudging her friend. Becky gave Ashley a look, but then walked towards Bruce.
"I'll be back!" Becky said leaving Ashley and Peter.
"I'm surprised," Peter said. "That Bruce is this calm and talking to Steven."
"You mean 'Stars and Stripes'?" Ashley said in annoyance.
"I take it that you don't like him?" Peter said.
"Not in the least." Ashley said. Peter didn't want to ask why, so he dropped the subject.
"Besides that," Peter said. "Where did Tony and your sister go?" Ashley turned her attention to the dance floor and couldn't find her sister.
"Tony…" Ashley said with annoyance. Peter sighed in relief, and saw Thor coming over.
"Perfect," Peter thought with a smile. "This will distract her for a few."
"Miss Ashley," Thor said breaking Ashley's focus. "How are you doing?"
"Thor!" Ashley said in surprise. "I'm doing well. Just having a drink."
"Do you mind if I join you?" Thor said.
"Not at all." Ashley said smiling. Thor sat next to Ashley and got a drink. All three talked and enjoyed a few drinks from the bar.
Tony and Victoria are outside on the balcony of the towers enjoying the view of the city. The spot lights from below shined up towards the night sky of New York City.
"Wow," Victoria said. "This is such a pretty view!"
"I know right?" Tony said. "That's why I built my tower the way it is."
"Really?!" Victoria said. Tony nodded. "Nice. I would love to see a view like this where I live."
"How far do you live from here?" Tony asked.
"Down in the suburbs of the city," Victoria said sighing. "It's about 10 minutes, by car, from here."
"Well then," Tony said. "How about this: I will allow you, and only you, to come to my tower just to enjoy the scenery here. You can come here as much as you want, and stay for as long too."
"Are you serious!?" Victoria said with a smile.
"I never go back on my word." Tony said.
"Oh, thank you!" Victoria said giving Tony a hug. Tony smiled as Victoria hugged him. A moment later, realizing what she was doing, she immediately let go.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just so happy…" Victoria turned away and blushed.
"It's ok." Tony said smiling. "I don't mind hugs." He turned her around and smiled at her. Victoria, still red, smiled back. "Did I ever tell you how beautiful you look tonight?"
"Oh," Victoria said, turning even more red. "Thank you." Victoria looked at Tony and could feel her heart fluttering as she looked into his brown eyes, and he was looking in to hers. Then Victoria lifted her head towards Tony, as he began to draw her closer, and the two kissed.
Inside, Thor and Ashley were talking to each other about random thins when Thor kissed Ashley, who looked away for a moment, on the cheeks. Ashley turned red and towards Thor with a look.
"Sorry," Thor said. "I just wanted to let you know that I think you are very beautiful." Ashley was red and speechless.
"Thank you," Ashley said smiling. Then Thor placed a hand on Ashley's face and slowly brought her towards his face. Ashley and Thor kissed with a gentle passion. Thor then placed a hand around Ashley's shoulder and held her close. Across the room, Becky watched from a distance and smiled as she sat by Steve and Bruce.
"I knew those two would kiss," Becky thought. "They are such a cute couple!" She lifted her glass with Steve and Bruce and the three toasted to end the wonderful night.
