Doctor Helen Cho along with her staff members rushed Clint down towards Bruce lab's with Lily following behind them, Bruce and Natasha stepping out the jet to speak with each other as S.J sat on one of the chairs taking off his gear and going into one of the drawers and putting on a black shirt
"What do you say we train later on Pops?" S.J asked his father who was gathering his belongings and Steve nodded taking Riley's hand
"Me and Riley are gonna get some burgers later on, you and Tasha wanna join?" Steve asked as S.J just shrugged at him and soon he grabbed his gear and made his way towards the entrance of the ship and Steve frowned and Riley saw that
"You okay?" She asked him as Steve sighed and shook his head
"I've been trying to hang out with S.J like outside from this but he either says he's busy or shrugs" Steve said as Riley got up and went towards him as she rested her hand on his cheek and he leaned into her touch
"Remember S.J and you are warming up to each other little by little, also know that you two appear the same age too.. S.J just needs to warm up to you as well and when he does, you two will have a great relationship" Riley encouraged with a small smile as Steve nodded and they saw Maria Hill making her way to the jet as Tony was getting his stuff as Maria nodded at him
"Got all your stuff Boss, I'll look into him now" She said as Tony snort-laughed at Maria
"He's the boss, it's my job to just fund everything.. Also making everyone else look nice" Tony said as Riley chuckled and shook her head and Tony noticed
"Excuse me Ri! You should be lucky I'm designing you a suit too.. So you can become the Iron Maiden" Tony chuckled as Riley shook her head
"I didn't ask you to design me a suit Cous.. But I'm still grateful" Riley laughed as she went towards Tony and gave him a quick hug before Tony made his way out of the ship and it left Riley, Hill and Steve who went inside the building
"The two enhanced?" Steve asked as he intertwined his fingers with Riley making their way to the elevator to take a shower and Maria tapped her screen to show a man and woman protesting something, Riley knew those two were upset about something and they both wanted change
"Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. Twins. Orphaned at ten when a shell collapsed their apartment building, Sokovia's had a rough history. It's nowhere special but it's on the way to everywhere special." Maria said as Riley was observing the twins, it looked like Piertro was older than Wanda but it looked like Wanda was more in control out of the two.. But she noticed the twins were together and knew their brother and sister relationship was like her relationship with her twin cousins, that they all looked after each other
"What can they do?" Riley asked Maria as she smiled at Riley as she explained
"He's got increased metabolism and improved thermal homeostasis. Her thing is neural electric interfacing, telekinesis, mental manipulation" Maria said as she was reading it off her board and Riley nodded understanding but Steve gave her a funny look, clearly confused
"He's a very fast person, she has very good abilities that isn't good for us" Riley explained to Steve as he nodded and kissed her cheek in thanks as they made their way into the elevator as Maria scowled
"File says they volunteered for Strucker's experiments. It's nuts." She said and Riley saw Steve tense up as she knew Maria hit a nerve as Steve faked a smile and turned to Maria
"Right. What kind of monster would let a German scientist experiment on them to protect their country?" Steve said as Maria knew that she said the wrong thing as she spoke again
"We're not at war, Captain"
"But they are" Steve said as the doors closed and he sighed once the doors closed and he went towards Riley as he rested his face in her neck, nuzzling her neck
"We'll get into the shower and then we'll take a bubble bath with that new soap I bought" She said as he looked at her and chuckled "With the new Apple Shampoo?"
"Yes, I know how much you love Apples" She said as he smiled and kissed her forehead
"Are you okay Clint?" Lily asked for probably the million time since they got into the lab, Clint chuckled and looked at her "Yes Lily, I'm not dying just wait" He said as Natasha walked into the room and sat near her best friend and Lily
"Lily, stop looking nervous he's fine" She chuckled as Lily sighed softly before they noticed S.J walking in and settling down by leaning on a table and he held out his hand and Natasha took it and he pulled her towards him as he wrapped his arms around her waist and she snaked her arms around his neck as she cuddled into him as she looked at Dr Cho
"You sure he's going to be okay? Pretending to need this guy really brings the team together" She joked as Bruce walked in suddenly as she released S.J and went back towards his side as Dr. Cho nodded
"There's no possibility of deterioration. The nano-molecular functionality is instantaneous. His cells don't know they're bonding with simulacrum" She explained to the group as Bruce nodded happily
"She's creating tissues"
"If you brought him to my lab, the regeneration Cradle could do this in twenty minutes." She said as S.J nodded "Can you bring back someone from the dead?" He asked and Dr. Cho shrugged
"We're working on right now.. But I think dead is dead" She said as Tony walked in with drinks and started joking
"Oh, he's flatlining. Call it. Time?" He said as he started handing out drinks to each person in the room as S.J thanked him as soon Clint chuckled
"No, no, no. I'm going to live forever. I'm gonna be made of plastic" He said as Lily chuckled and moved the hair out of his face and S.J noticed that Clint leaned into her touch as she was playing with his hair and Dr. Cho noticed it and chuckled
"You'll be made of you, Mr. Barton. Your own girlfriend won't be able to tell the difference" She said as she looked at Lily whose eyes widen, Natasha nearly choking on her drink while S.J was tapping her back
"Well, I don't have a girlfriend" Clint muttered as Lily opened her mouth to say something but S.J spoke trying to change the subject as Dr. Cho noticed that too and spoke
"That I can't fix. This is the next thing, Tony. Your clunky metal suits are going to be left in the dust." Trying to boost as S.J chuckled and Tony laughed shaking his head at her
"Well, that is exactly the plan. And Helen, I expect to see you at the party on Saturday." Tony said as S.J got his phone out inviting his former team-mates and inviting his daughter Sarah-Jane, he knew Connie was probably in another state searching for Bucky
"Unlike you, I don't have a lot of time for parties... Will Thor be there?" She asked as everyone in the room laughed as Lily wished the group a farewell before leaving along S.J following her
"You're planning on staying until Saturday right?" He asked her as she shrugged at him "I have to get back to my sister, I'm pretty sure Skye is worried.. Also recently finding out my mother and father are alive and on an island that's pretty private and me finding out you guys needed help by a hedgehog looking Inhuman and leaving my sister?" She asked as S.J shrugged and looked at her
"You should probably stay awhile Flower, and then when the party is over just go back to your family.. I'm pretty sure they miss you" He smiled as she smiled and nodded and went towards him and took out a photo out of her pocket and showed S.J the picture, it was a picture of a man holding a four year old on his left lap as S.J noticed that the girl was Lily, while the man was holding a new-born baby
"My father Cal, my mom told me I had him wrapped around my little finger" She laughed softly as S.J smiled at her
"Thank you for showing me this, it's very beautiful" He said as Lily nodded at him "We recently joined the Avengers, it's best we stick together.. I mean your the son of Captain America and I'm the adopted daughter of Nick Fury.. We need to look after each other" She said as he nodded in agreement
"Alright I'm gonna let S.J pick me up but I'm gonna twist around so I can wrap my legs around him and use my weight to bring him down" Natasha told Riley as she was sitting on the training mat nodding as Nat and S.J nodded at each other before Nat running at S.J who quickly picked her up but didn't have time to think as Natasha twisted herself wrapping her legs around his neck, using all of her dead weight to bring him down as he tapped her leg and she released
"Personally if Riley and Cap wasn't here now, I would have done something else" S.J winked at his girlfriend who slapped his arm and Riley laughed while Cap from a few feet was ready to scold his son but he was beating a punching bag
"Alright since I won't let you do it to S.J, Cap come here!" Natasha called for Steve who bounded towards the group and was nodding as Natasha told him what to do before Riley stood up and looked at him
"You ready?"
"As ready that I'll ever be Babe" Steve said as Riley ran at him and doing a handstand real quick before wrapping her legs around his neck for a second before flipping him over and pinning him down as Riley was laughing but out of breath as Steve was laying there blushing
Soon Riley released him as she helped Steve up as he bounded towards S.J to spare while Natasha sat on the mat with Riley as they were watching their boyfriends practicing
"Seems like you and Mr. Cap have been doing perfect" Natasha pointed out remembering how Riley would put herself down so many times because she wasn't like Cap's first lover and S.J's mother Doctor Mary Hunter.
"Yeah, We've been talking about moving out the Avengers building lately and just find an apartment, probably have an extra room whenever Sam, Sarah-Jane or even you and S.J wanna visit.. Sarah-Jane has been helping us" She said thinking about S.J's daughter and Natasha smiled softly thinking of her boyfriend's daughter
"She's a sweetie, she invited S.J and I to dinner the other night and it was the three of us.. It was so peaceful" Natasha said. Natasha had a good relationship with S.J's blood family, being best friends with Steve, visiting Sarah-Jane every weekends to have a small family dinner, and talking on the phone with Connie whenever she called S.J updating him on her search for Bucky
"You and S.J seem serious." Riley noted as Natasha nodded and looked down at the floor
"I thought I wouldn't have feelings for anyone else.. But he came along" Natasha whispered and in that moment Riley was confused, she noticed that Bruce and Natasha were close and that she was the only one that could calm him down. But her relationship with S.J was great as he respected her every move and he adored her. Riley didn't know who Nat was talking about and she needed to know
Before she could open her mouth, she heard a groan and watched S.J flip Steve over and S.J laughed as Steve sighed
It was finally Saturday, Riley, Natasha and Lily were in Riley and Cap's room as they were getting ready for the party
"I think S.J will think you look adorable" Lily chuckled as Natasha blushed looking at her outfit, a black skirt with a beautiful white blouse exposing her chest just a bit.. Riley decided to sneak into Steve's wardrobe and was checking what he was wearing and saw he was wearing a navy blue shirt with black pants, so she decided to weak a black blouse with a dark blue skirt and black heels as Lily whistled
"Mr. Stars and Stripes won't leave your side tonight, he'll be beating the boys away from you" Lily said as she admired her black dress she wore with heels also, she was also in a way was trying to impress Clint.
"Come on Ladies, we have men to impress" Lily chuckled as Natasha gave her a look of conflict, as if she wanted to tell Lily something while Riley laughed as all three girls linked their arms together and made they way into the elevator.. By just going up they heard the noises of guests and the music and once the doors opened they were amazed on how many people were here.
"Tony knows how to throw a party" Natasha muttered as they stepped out, looking around and they found Thor
"Lady Lily, Riley and Natasha!" Thor said out of happiness as he went to kiss each girl's hand and Riley nodded at him
"You cleaned up well Thor" She smiled as Thor smiled proudly looking at his outfit
"Sir S.J helped me with the outfit, said I would be one of the best looking men" Thor said as Lily and Natasha chuckled, Lily disbanded from the group as she found Clint sitting with Maria as they were sharing tales from their mission and Riley and Natasha sat on the sofa
"Where are the Rogers?" Riley laughed as they soon spotted Sam and Connie and she nearly ran as she ran to hug her best friends
"Sam! Con!" She said as Connie laughed and hugged her back as Sam smiled softly
"How's everything?" Riley asked as they sat down on the sofa as Natasha greeted the two when they came
"Good, we just finished a tour in New Orleans when we got something.. Turns out it wasn't him" Connie frowned as Sam tried smiling and elbowed his partner in crime
"At least you got some combat lessons from me, that's the only good part" Sam said as Riley pretended to huff out of anger "I'm suppose to be training Connie whenever she joins" Riley joked as Connie laughed and shook her head
"I'm not gonna join for awhile then, I have so much to do... If anything you and S.J can train me and I'll find another snake name as my codename" Connie laughed as Riley chuckled.. As they talked Natasha elbowed Riley and saw Sarah-Jane and The Snakes: Janet with her girlfriend Juilet, Felix and Sean step into the party. Natasha excused herself to go say hi to them and soon Riley saw Steve and S.J enter the room and Steve spotted Riley and he started blushing once spotting her, to him, she was the most beautiful person in the room and nothing could change otherwise
Steve made his way to her and kissed her softly in greetings before placing a hand on her lower back and whispered in her ear "You look stunning, Smith" He whispered as Riley smiled and looked at him "You don't look so bad either" She whispered as they watched as Connie and Sarah-Jane and the Snakes reunited as mother and daughter hugged, S.J making his way to Natasha as he whispered something into her ear and kissing her on the forehead
"Sam!" Steve said happily as he greeted his best friend and Riley chuckled "I'll leave you two alone for a bit, I'm going to get a drink" She said as she found Tony and Rhodes by the bar with Bruce as she went towards them as Tony raised his eyebrow at her
"My young cousin shouldn't be dressing like this" Tony joked as she smiled and hugged him before hugging Bruce and Rhody
"Rhody, long time no see.. How's life?" She asked as she was hearing a War Machine story and Tony looked bored and Bruce walked off seeing Natasha was running another Bar.
"Boom are you looking for this?" Rhodes said finishing his story as Riley smiled and patted his shoulder
"I'm proud of you Rhodes, impressing the important people" She said as Rhodes looked proud of himself "Thank you, your adopted cousin wasn't impressed with me" He said as Riley gave Tony a look, Tony held his hands up in defense.
Riley took her drink and sat back on the sofa with her drink in hand, soon another man joined her as she didn't know him but she ignored him but he started speaking
"You look beautiful tonight, mind me buying you another drink?" He asked as she shook her head at him "Sorry, I don't accept drinks from strangers.. I prefer drinks with friends" She said as the man purred "So let me be a friend" He said as he moved closer to her but before she could do anything the man was pulled back and he was at the other end of the sofa
"Don't talk to my girl like that" Steve said as he was annoyed, the man seeing who he was said sorry as he rushed off.. Steve relaxed as he sat on the sofa
"How was your talk with Sam?" Riley said trying to change the subject
"Connie and Sam are going to Jersey tomorrow morning, they got something so they'll be visiting a small town.. Janet, Felix and Sean wanna go with them, I think it's safer like that" He said as Riley nodded and saw S.J sitting nearby as he was playing the piano and there were women all over him, aweing him since he was of course good looking, also being son of Captain America had it's perks.. One blonde woman was trying to get closer to him and had her chest pretty exposed as she was speaking to him. Riley looked over and saw Natasha was pissed off with the interaction as she started flirting with Bruce but S.J just ignored the blonde woman as he dismissed her by grabbing his drink and simply walking off, leaving the few girls by the piano upset
"Guy is fully into Nat, I give him that" Lily said as she sat down next to Steve and Riley
"Yeah, He's been crazy for her since day one.. Should have seen them a few months back they looked so into each other" Riley said as Lily nodded but watched Bruce and Natasha talking
"But Nat seems also into Bruce.. I feel bad for S.J" Lily said as Steve nodded and they watched S.J making his way towards his former team-mates and his daughter Sarah-Jane as they spoke
"Sarah-Jane mentioned that S.J wanted a normal life.. I think it's his goal in life" Riley said as Steve shook his head
"It's gonna be impossible.. Since he was born he hasn't had a normal life.. He just found his long lost daughter and family.. Jasper, Felix, Sean and Janet managed to have a somewhat normal life but I don't know about S.J"
"I hope Nat makes it clear who she wants soon, cause I'm sure S.J won't keep in his feelings for long" Lily said as Steve and Riley nodded as they went to enjoy the rest of the party
It was just the Avengers and Maria Hill and Doctor Cho now as they were sitting on the sofas, Natasha cuddled up to S.J while Riley rested her head on Steve's shoulder as they were discussing Thor's hammer
"But, it's a trick!" Clint said as Lily shook her head at him "It's pretty normal Clint, no one can lift it but him"
"Oh, no. It's much more than that.. There has been one person to lift it besides me but it was only once" Thor said, remembering the person with a soft smile.. They were teenagers in their time and she used her magic to do something to her hand, being able to lift the hammer until the spell wore off
"Uh, "Whosoever be he worthy shall haveth the power!" Whatever man! It's a trick." Clint laughed as the room was in laughter and Thor raised his eyebrow at him
"Well please, be my guest." Thor said as the room was oohing and Clint chuckled and got up while Lily laughed
"Good luck Hawkeye"
"Come on." Tony encouraged as Riley and S.J were cheering Clint on
"This is gonna be good" Rhodes said as the group got closer to the edge of their seat as Tony chuckled "We know you had a tough weak, hopefully Lily can make it better" Tony said despite Clint's look and Lily's blushing
"You know I've seen this before, right?" Clint said as he tried lifting the hammer, but it failed and the room was filled with chuckles and Clint smiled at Thor
"It's okay lad, You'll get it one day" S.J said as Clint narrowed his eyes "Pretty sure you won't get it Viper" he said as S.J smirked as Natasha got off of him as S.J made his way towards the hammer
"So if I rule Asgard, I can do anything I want?" he asked Thor as the God of Thunder nodded and S.J with all of his might tried lifting it but it wouldn't move as the others chuckled and S.J turned to Tony
"Why don't you try it Cous, I'm pretty sure my mother would be turning over in her grave if you were lifting it" S.J said as Tony smirked as he got up
"Aunt Mary always told me I was her favorite nephew, I'm sure she'll love to see her favorite nephew doing something awesome"
Tony couldn't even lift the hammer as a few others tried as well, Steve was the only one that could move it as the men looked at the girls.. Natasha dismissed it while Lily tried lifting it and even used her powers to teleport the hammer to her hand but it wouldn't work.
"I don't think I wanna try I think I'll look like a foo-" She was cut off as Thor got up and smiled at her
"No need Lady Riley.. It should seem neither of you are Worthy" He said picking up his Hammer as he threw and caught it.. Soon there were piercing screeches as everyone had to cover their ears and all of a sudden a bot made his way into the clearing
"Worthy... No... How could you be worthy? You're all killers." The Bot said softly as everyone got up, Lily and S.J moving towards Cho since she didn't have any fighting experience
"Stark.." Steve said as he made his way towards Riley trying to cover her
"JARVIS." Tony said trying to call for Jarvis but there was no response as S.J got tense and had his hand in his pocket ready to pull out his gun
"I'm sorry, I was asleep. Or...I was a-dream? " The Bot asked as Riley was ready to spring into action by slipping off her heels, she grabbed Steve's hand and he looked at her before they both nodded, but Riley wanted to curse when she saw Cap's shield was on the other side of the room
"Reboot, Legionnaire OS, we got a buggy suit." Tony said as he was tapping on his watch as The Bot laughed softly at the team
"There was a terrible noise...and I was tangled in... in...strings. I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy." The Bot sighed softly as Lily felt frighten in that moment.. In all these years in Shield.. Someone innocent that died.. It's on your hands.
"Who did you kill?" Steve asked as he was tense, he knew this thing had to be stop.. The thought of an innocent person dying on his watch.. It made him feel horrible
"Who sent you?" Lily asked him as The Bot played a recording that had Tony's voice "I see a suit of armor around the world". As Bruce gasped
"Ultron!"
"In the flesh. Or, no, not yet. Not this...chrysalis. But I'm ready. I'm on a mission. " Ultron said softly as everyone was knowing the next move.. A fight.
"What Mission?" Nat asked as Ultron chuckled softly "Peace in our time" He said as all of a sudden a few more Legionaries burst out and started shooting, everyone ducked while Steve flipped the table and kicked it at the bots but it didn't do much damage, Lily grabbed Cho as she moved her towards somewhere safer while S.J, Nat and Bruce ran at the bar, Natasha and S.J sliding across the bar at ease while it was more difficult for Bruce but Natasha grabbed Bruce and pulled him over as he landed face first into her chest
Bruce saw Natasha blush but also the annoyance in S.J's eyes as he saw Bruce ontop of his girlfriend
"I'm so sorry!" Bruce said as Natasha shook her head at him
"Don't turn Green!" She said as Bruce promised he would as S.J's back was at towards them as he spoke
"Natasha that wasn't okay" He said and before Natasha could answer S.J moved out once seeing Riley was in danger facing two bots and S.J leaped forward and tackled the robot as he was trying to punch through the bot but of course Tony Stark made it hard for him.
Riley took out her gun that she kept under the piano as she started shooting and she had the help of Thor as the God of Thunder threw his hammer at the bot.
Cap and Lily were walking side by side as she used her powers to teleport the robots face first into Super Soldier's kicks. Tony literally in the air as he was taking a bot down.
Lily looked back and saw Rhodes shot at as he went out the window but she quickly opened her hand and teleported Rhodes back into the room as the man gave her his thanks.
Soon S.J and Riley took down another bot as Clint was about to throw Cap's shield at S.J so the man could slam the shield down on the bot's chest and saw that Cho was in danger and Steve was running towards her without the shield
"Pop, Catch" S.J called as he threw the shield and Cap caught it slamming in face first into the bot and everyone sighed in relief that it was finally over and Ultron watched unimpressed
"Well that was dramatic! I know you mean well. You just didn't think it through. You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change. How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to...evolve?" Ultron asked as he went towards a bot's head and picked it up before squeezing it
"You're not strong, as matter of fact you're the weakest people I've seen.. But I know something that will help the world.. The Avengers' extinction" He laughed as Thor threw his hammer at him, destroying the bot.. That didn't stop Ultron.
Chills went through Lily's spine as Riley flinched and S.J moved towards Natasha as Ultron started singing softly almost creepy
"There are no strings on me..."
Author's Note:
I've noticed it's quite hard writing Three Ocs at once in the same time and place, so it's something I need to work on since Civil War will feature the Ant-Man OC, Black Panther OC, Captain America OC, The Winter Soldier OC and The Snakes..
