Marvel's rights, their universe, blah, blah, blah... I just make the story line.
Chapter Three
She recognized Bruce Banner, who was talking to the famous Captain America, a.k.a. Captain Steve Rogers. She also saw Natasha talking to a guy who she assumed was the so called god of thunder that Tony kept on complaining about, Thor, who was also Loki's elder brother. Rebecca also saw the guy named Hawkeye, who was named Clint Barton, as she glanced back into the file. She didn't dare walk any closer though, so she stayed near the staircase. But unlike her, Tony and Maria walked towards the table. Tony sat in one of the remaining chairs surrounding the huge circular table and Maria remained standing up, a few meters away from the rest of them, whispering something into her earpiece.
Rebecca looked at all of them, who was still standing near the staircase. She felt out of place, even if most of them had casual clothes on. She was becoming nervous and for a reason she didn't know about. When Tony noticed that his sister hasn't arrived at the table and that she was still just standing near the staircase, he smirked and stood up. Rebecca's eyes widened, knowing what her brother was going to be doing. It was too late because her brother had already started talking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to the new addition in the Avengers team, my little sis, Rebecca Martyn Stark," Tony announced to all the Avengers in the room. All Rebecca could do was face palm herself and shut her eyes shut.
But to Tony, he felt like he helped Rebecca. He didn't care how; he just wanted to do something so that she wouldn't be the shy one in the group. Starks aren't shy and they're not meant to be shy, or a loner. Starks are the one who always steal the show.
When Tony said his statement, all eyes went to Rebecca. They didn't do anything, just remained where they were now.
Rebecca kept her eyes closed and hoped she would become invisible.
"Hey kid, you don't need to be awkward. It's just us," a voice comforted her.
She looked up and realized that Clint Barton said that. Clint was smiling at her and Rebecca felt herself become red, but hopefully she didn't. Rebecca sighed and walked towards the table.
There were no other chairs so she turned to Tony and said, "Where do I sit?"
Tony shrugged and just put his legs on the table and crossed his arms behind his head and looked at the ceiling. Rebecca rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers.
"Off, off, off, off," she told him, gesturing to get off.
"Get your own seat slut," mocked Tony. Rebecca scoffed and then smirked.
To get what she wants, she did the thing that she always knew would irritate him. She tried this once with other people, like Pepper, or any of the other people who looked like us, but none of them had the same reaction as Tony does. Rebecca got her finger, poked the part of Tony's face where it was underneath his left ear. Tony yelped and stood up, rubbing the bottom of his left cheek and neck. Rebecca quickly claimed his seat and then put her legs on the table, eyeing her brother mockingly.
"Son of a bitch," muttered Tony, who was still continuing to rub his cheek and neck.
"You know brother, I don't know how that annoys you so badly," Rebecca said in a derisive manner. She noticed that some of the Avengers were snickering, but she didn't care who they were getting amused at.
"Don't judge me, that thing you do with my ear just tickles in a painful way," insisted Tony. Rebecca snickered behind her sarcastic look.
Natasha then said, "Hey, Stark."
Both Tony and Rebecca reacted in the same way by saying, "What?"
Natasha chuckled and said, "I was calling your sister."
Tony grumbled and just walked to where Nick Fury usually stands, which was the main controller for the whole ship and the one that held all the secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"I think you'll be a great new addition to the team," Natasha told Rebecca.
Rebecca sat up properly at the moment and said, "Thanks."
Then Thor spoke up and asked, "Lady Stark, how were you able to weaken your brother so quickly?"
"Well kind sir," Rebecca said in a mock elegant voice, "It's all within the finger technique."
Bruce and Steve chuckled a bit and Thor laughed heartily.
"You have an amazing sense of humor, Lady Stark."
"Please, call me Rebecca, or Becca. But never Becky, only Tony uses that to piss me off," replied Rebecca.
Clint chuckled and said, "Well now I know how to piss you off."
Rebecca laughed along the rest of the team.
"Well, now that we all know Rebecca, we could ask Hill there where Fury is now," Tony said in his usual sarcastic voice. He came to Rebecca's seat and rested his arms on the top of her chair.
"Stark's right, where is Fury, Maria?" asked Steve.
Maria's attention was still to the screen in front of her, but she shouted from her post, "Fury just told me he'll be here in a few minutes."
"Looks we still have a few moments to get to know our new member," said Clint.
Bruce raised his hand and said, "Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?" Rebecca smiled and replied, "Not if you promise me that one day, you'll show me how you turn into an enormous green rage monster."
Bruce sighed and muttered, "That's exactly what your brother said." Rebecca smirked and said, "That's what I've been planning to do. Anyway, ask me your questions."
Bruce perked up and said, "Fury showed me some of your résumés. Is it true that you really have a joy for physics?"
Rebecca nodded and said, "What else were you going to ask me?"
Bruce then asked, "And you have a love for Coldplay?" Rebecca's jaw dropped. "You're not a fan too, right?" asked Rebecca, not believing that the famous gamma radiation expert, Bruce Banner, listened to Coldplay.
Bruce nodded calmly. Then two people spoke up and said, "What's Coldplay?" It was Thor and Steve.
Tony clicked his tongue and muttered, "The perks of not being here on Earth for the past seventy years."
Steve glared at him, but Thor still looked confused, which amused Rebecca a lot.
"Coldplay," Bruce explained, "Is a famous British rock band that was formed in 1998."
Rebecca still couldn't believe the Hulk listened to Coldplay.
Later, Tony had the decency to say, "Hey, you know another British band that's really famous? One Dire-"
"Don't you even finish the name of that fucking gay band that all thirteen year olds are obsessed with! They're like British versions of Justin Beiber, times five!" insulted Rebecca.
Natasha sighed and said, "Finally, a kid who appreciates real music and not stupid crap."
Rebecca smiled and looked up at her brother and said, "Just don't say that band; they're a bunch of homos, for each other."
Tony smirked and said, "That's a girl. Come, Stark fist." And with that, the Starks fist bumped each other.
After a few laughs, Fury finally came.
"So, boss came. Be careful children not to talk about nasty things about him in front of him, that would be very stupid… hey, let's talk nasty things about him," said Tony the minute Fury reached the top of the steps.
Fury grumbled something under his breath and Rebecca could guess that he said, "I'm surrounded by idiots." The whole team, except for Maria of course, chuckled somewhat when Fury rubbed his temples. When Fury looked up, Tony was still talking.
"You know, back when he had hair, you would wish he didn't have any hair at all. I did and look where that brought him. Now, I only wonder who wished for him not to have an eyeball."
Tony mocked as he rubbed his chin to gesture them that he was thinking. The Avengers laughed again and Fury just sighed and stood there with his arms crossed. Tony continued, "And did you hear about the time when-"
"Enough, Director Fury is among you dolts and you should show some respect," Maria Hill ordered.
When Rebecca was told she was second in command, she wasn't kidding. Everybody, even Tony quieted down. Maria was not the kind of person to be mess around with. Rebecca noted in her mind for her long term memory not to piss off Maria, ever. She walked around the table where everybody was doing their best not to make a sound in front of her. She was like the evil headmistress in a gloomy school and that the Avengers were some students. She finally stopped walking around when she returned back to her original post and Fury started talking.
"I brought all of you here together for a special reason. An old friend of ours has returned. Loki has escaped his place in Asgard, but no one is blaming you Thor," Fury started. Everyone looked at Thor, who broke down in depressed sounding grunts.
Being Tony, he just had to cough and say at the same time, "Yeah, we do." Rebecca rolled her eyes on her brother's rude behavior, but she got used to it a long time ago.
Fury cleared his throat and continued, "As I was saying, Loki has escaped his place in Thor's prison."
"I didn't actually put him in the Asgardian jail cell; we just locked him up in his chambers after sentencing him to a few disciplinary actions," quietly muttered Thor.
Nick's eyes widened and asked, "But you told us you would make bring him to Asgardian justice?" Thor's eyes became even sadder and mumbled, "We took away his internet so he couldn't converse with his Tumblr army here on Midgard."
Rebecca's eyes widened and said, "He has a Tumblr account?!" Thor nodded his head uncertainly.
"You know of this website, Rebecca?" asked Natasha. Rebecca nodded as if it were obvious.
Fury sighed and asked Thor, "What other things did you do, ground him?"
Some of the Avengers chuckled, but Thor replied, "Actually, that was one of the few things that my parents did to him. They also took away all of his Harry Potter books, no art of any kind, that includes music, and no more horses. But the internet punishment got him really deep; it was sad seeing him that way."
His eyes turned sad again and looked at the ground.
But the only thing that someone could say, and this was Clint, "Loki reads Harry Potter? How can you even get those books all the way from Asgard?"
Now Loki sounded like a weird version of herself, as Rebecca heard the things that Loki did. She would freak out if there was no internet in her life, worse of all, no Harry Potter or music. These were the things that mattered to Rebecca more than anything, since Tony never allowed her to have any friends that were her age.
"Okay, we're getting out of the topic here," Fury voiced over all the Avenger's snickers.
"Sorry, it's just that he seems so much like Rebecca. I'd ship them together if he wasn't evil," Tony tried saying, after wiping away a tear of laughter. Rebecca glared at her brother and Tony just smirked back.
"Anyway, we need to get back to the topic!" Nick shouted at Tony. Tony held up his hands in mock protest and leaned against the table.
"Okay, if all you mofos are done with mucking around, Loki has escaped. I don't care how or when, we just need to get him back before he causes any more trouble like last year," started Fury.
Tony gazed up and sighed, muttering, "Those were the days."
"Now, we need someone to try and capture him again. When and if we do, no offense Thor, but S.H.I.E.L.D. will take care of him from now on. We already have knowledge of his current status and place, but we need someone with stealth and wit. Widow and Hawkeye won't partake in any way for this mission because you two will be on another mission dealing with H.Y.D.R.A.," informed Fury.
Clint and Natasha both sighed in an exasperated manner.
"Damn it," muttered Clint as he rubbed his eyes. Rebecca realized Fury slightly smirk, but returned his expression into the usual cold one.
"Oh, and Tony, Steve, and Bruce need to look over a situation that has aroused S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar. You three need to go to the Niagra Falls in Canada to scour the falls. There is something fishy going on there and we need eyes there. All that leaves is Thor and Rebecca. Thor, I have a job for you to go to Bristol, England. There is some weird stuff going on there that might fit your expertise, considering you are a god from a mythological world," continued Fury.
Now it was Rebecca's turn to sigh in an exasperating manner.
"That leaves me to do the Loki mission, right?" asked Rebecca through her hands. Fury nodded and Rebecca banged her head on the table multiple times.
She felt a hand comfort her head and heard her brother's voice, "There, there. At least you get to meet Reindeer Games."
Rebecca looked up and glared at her brother, trying to say, "Shut up."
"Well, that's it for the meeting," Fury announced, "All I really needed to say was the new mission and what mission you are assigned to. You will get further information about your given mission by a file that Ms. Hill will give you."
Hill then gave each Avenger a specific folder, containing information that is crucial to each individual's mission. When Rebecca opened her file, it was all about the fight between the Avenger's fight with Loki last year and an object called the Tesseract. She closed her file and rubbed her eyes, she knew that being an Avenger might mean risking your life in certain situations, but this was just a little too much for her taste. But she will do anything to be known as someone other than 'Stark's little sister'.
"Natasha, show the new kid the suiting room and weaponry room. She'll need to suit up later for tonight," commanded Fury.
Natasha nodded and told Rebecca, "Come, you'll love all our little toys, even if they were mostly made from Stark Industries, so you'll probably recognize some weapons." Rebecca nodded and the two of them went downstairs into a hallway.
When both of them left, Clint turned to Tony and said, "Please tell me she's single!" Tony sighed and said, "Nope, sorry. I don't like it when guys hit on my sis."
"Um, I think it might be a little smarter to let go of your sister. She looks old enough to take care of herself," Bruce told Tony. Tony looked at Bruce with a 'are you kidding me' look.
"But she doesn't have any friends," smirked Tony. Bruce and Clint's mouths opened and Thor asked, "Maiden Rebecca doesn't have any companions?"
Tony nodded in a mock sympathetic look. "Let me guess, you won't let her," Steve said from across the table. Tony nodded as if it were obvious.
"That's a little too harsh, don't you think?" asked Clint.
Tony shrugged and said, "And if she does try and make new friends, I'll just let her in some of my exclusive parties to mingle around. Or I could pay someone…"
Steve chuckled and said, "Wow, Tony. You're more shallow minded than I thought. Well at least her first friends are the Avengers."
Tony shrugged in an 'I don't care look' and sat down in Rebecca's seat. Bruce sat up and told the others, "I'm going to my lab. I feel like searching for more gamma signatures around the area, just because."
He walked out and Steve followed saying, "I'll go with you."
Thor, Clint, and Tony were left sitting around the table.
"Give her some slack," Clint told Tony, who seemed like he was just staring at the ceiling as he leaned the chair, pondered about that.
"I do not know what Hawkeye just meant, but I will agree to him anyway," Thor said.
Tony stood up and walked away, muttering, "I don't give a fuck… a little."
