Sorry for the shortness of this chapter. I thought it would serve you better to have something, even if small, then to not have anything at all. So, I apologize for that and also any errors.
"Seriously?" Phil Coulson scowled at his daughter.
Spencer blinked up at him innocently as they rode up Tony Stark's private elevator up to his penthouse. It had taken Spencer a moment to hack into Stark's system to get J.A.R.V.I.S to budge the damn elevator. Spencer would've thought her father wouldn't have been surprised by now, she was very talented. Spencer wanted to snort but didn't. She had a year of wiggle room to do whatever she pleased and she used it wisely. "What?" She tried her best not to smirk but failed in doing so.
"Hacking? That's what you did in your spare time?" His lips twitched upwards. He was trying to be that responsible parental figure but all of S.H.I.E.L.D knew Phil was far from a responsible parent. It was Fury who was the responsible one. Her dad did try to feed her hot dog when she first came home with him. Oh, then there was this one time, when her dad dropped her into a pond when Spencer was five. Spencer remembered the angry face of Agent May when her father brought her into Agent May's house, it was her turn to baby sit, and she almost kicked her dad's butt for being an idiot.
Seriously, Phil Coulson was far from responsible.
"I told you it was either hacking into major networks for information or starting my own corporation so, I can save up for college!" Spencer chided quietly.
"You didn't even go to college." Phil grumbled.
"Neither did you," Spencer pointed out calmly with a smirk, "Besides, I went to college!"
Dad gave his daugher a flat ass look, "You went for a week, sweetie, then you threw your binder at the professor calling him an idiot for thinking Harry Potter is a child's book then you dropped out of college." Like, Spencer had stated. He was trying to sound disapproving but she knew he wasn't. Hell, he had been proud when she returned from college to S.H.I.E.L.D's HQ base and told him what had happened. Her dad loved Harry Potter!
"Your binder was also filled with graphic doodles of your professor, if he was a female. Which by the way, I framed up on my mini-fridge." Dad grinned proudly and they high fived.
"Those doodles were pretty cool, huh?" Spencer grinned back at her old man.
He nods quickly, "The detail was so amazing. He'd be one ugly woman."
Spencer gasped, "I know, right? Geez, and I thought he was hideous as a man!" The young assassin threw an arm out in dramatic effect before her old man rolled his eyes and took out his phone.
"Let's see if Stark is going to play nice." Phil put the billionaire on speaker as Spencer hacked expertly from her phone overriding Jarvis's protocol to allow the call to go through to Stark's personal cell. "Stark, we need to talk." Phil said bluntly.
On the little screen showed Tony Stark in all of his idiotic but genius glory. Geez, he was getting old. Spencer should probably freak him out and tell him that he was getting old; she smirked then frowned. He'd probably throw her off his balcony and towards her death.
"You have reached the life model decoy of Tony Stark, please leave a message." Was Tony's sassy and brilliant comeback.
Spencer almost face palmed, "Seriously?" She whispered mockingly, "The genius behind Iron Man comes up with that shitty excuse?" Spencer couldn't help but to roll her eyes and she saw her father smirk in response.
"This is urgent." Her father persisted.
"Then leave it urgently." Tony sarcastically answered before hanging up.
Spencer scoffed as they reached the top floor and the elevator doors opened. Spencer hummed in approval of the large, spacious, and luxurious space. It could easily see all of New York from up here. Spencer definitely approved…not that she would ever tell the playboy that. Tony was glaring at her father while Pepper Potts was off to the side with a small glass of champagne in her hand. She was sitting on the couch looking amused unlike her boyfriend.
"Security breach," Tony states with a glare and looks at Pepper pointedly, "That's on you."
"Mr. Stark." Phil smirks.
"Phil! Come in!" Pepper greets the older agent warmly before noticing Spencer, "Oh, Spencer! I haven't seen you in a long time," She hugs the young girl tightly and Spencer hugs back.
"It's nice to see you again, Pepper. It's been quite some time." Spencer beamed at the older woman.
"Phil?" Stark scoffed, "Spencer? Long time? What the hell." He was frowning at Agent Coulson and the younger girl named Spencer.
"We can't stay." Phil stated professionally as Pepper hurriedly poured them some light champagne. Pepper handed Spencer a glass and the girl grinned at Pepper. Phil glared at his daughter in disapproval but took his drink happily. Spencer shot her father a glare of disapproval before they both smirked at one another and took sips of their drinks.
"Uh, his name is Agent. And who's the munchkin? Do they start that young?" Tony came to stand in front of Spencer, sizing her up.
Spencer arched an eyebrow, "I'm twenty-two, Mr. Stark."
He gasps mockingly, "And here I thought you were seventeen."
"I started training at the age of fourteen." Spencer pointed out with a proud smirk.
"Come on in, we're celebrating." Pepper pulls them into the large living area.
Spencer whistled looking around, "Nice digs." She commented.
Spencer momentarily lost interest in the bickering between her old man, Stark, and Pepper. She was observed in looking at the amazing view. (I don't like being handed things.)
Spencer should've seriously started her own corporation. She would've been a billionaire too. Damn it! (That's alright, cause I love to be handed things. So, let's trade.)
"Thank you." Phil said kindly.
"Hey, don't you steal anything!" Tony called over at Spencer.
Who in return, gave him a flat look which he didn't see because he was glaring at her father, "Official consulting hours are between eight and five every other Thursday." Tony wittingly replied with a prideful smirk.
Spencer walked over to stand beside her dad stating, "This isn't a consultation."
Tony glared at her before pulling out his wallet, "Why don't you go buy yourself a candy bar, eh, kid?" Tony smirked handing Spencer a twenty.
Spencer scoffed, "A twenty, seriously? You're that cheap, dude?" But she snatched the twenty out of his hand before he could take it back.
Tony looked amused and offended and was about to spit out a sassy comeback when Pepper spoke up looking excited now, "Is this about The Avengers?" She squeaked with wide, blue eyes.
Phil gave her a flat look while Spencer gave her a curious one and she quickly sputtered out, "Which I…I know nothing about!" She says with a sheepish grin and Spencer giggled taking another sip of the bubbly champagne.
Tony rolled his eyes, "The Avengers Initiative was scrapped, I thought," Then glares at Spencer's fauther, "And I didn't even qualify!"
"I didn't know that either!" Pepper adds in with a grin.
"Yeah, apparently I'm volatile, self obsesses, don't play well with others." Tony was walking backwards towards his desk with the files in his hands.
"I think the whole world knows that." Spencer remarked coolly in a voice that almost mimicked Natasha Romanoff's voice. It made Tony's left eye twitch.
The handsome billionaire gave her the stank eye, "Why is she here?"
Phil ignored Stark's question, "This isn't about personality profiles anymore."
Stark threw out the files so they appeared around him; profiles, videos, and other important things about the other Avengers all out for him and Pepper to see. Pepper looked surprised while Tony was looking at everything with sharp eyes. Pepper and Tony were whispering to each other. Spencer looked at her dad, "My file isn't there." She took note.
He nods, "When we found you last year, Fury had wiped out everything in your name just to make sure H.Y.D.R.A didn't try to hack into our systems to try to find you again."
She hummed in approval, "Awesome, I don't have to do taxes anymore." Spencer joked with a grin.
Her dad chuckles, "You never did taxes before, kid."
"I know!" Spencer beamed, "How awesome is that?"
Then she noticed Pepper leaning into Tony and whispering words of seduction into his ear. Tony's eyes widen and Spencer's dad slapped his hand over her eyes. Spencer laughed taking a sip of her drink. Tony then grudgingly agreed and Pepper beamed at Spencer and Phil gesturing for them to follow her into the elevator. "Seriously, who are you?" Tony was staring at Spencer with a frown before he glanced at the profiles surrounding him.
Her dad was the one to answer, "She's my daughter."
Spencer beamed at the prideful tone in her father's voice. Tony looked completely shocked, "You have a daughter?!" Tony gapes.
Spencer nodded with an easy smile, "His pride and joy."
Pepper snickered from beside them.
"Whoa, I never heard of such a thing!" Tony waves his arms up, "And I know everything!" He adds loudly.
Spencer laughed and said, "Apparently not everything. Are you losing your touch, Mr. Stark?" She taunted as she backed into the elevator beside her father and Pepper.
Tony gawked at the young, smirking girl before glaring and was beginning to say something before the elevator doors closed on him. Pepper looked amused, "Haven't seen him that riled up since yesterday." Pepper looked gleeful now.
"Spencer has a way of pushing buttons when she wants too." My old man smirks at his beautiful daughter.
She grinned, "Learned from the best." She states.
