2 Weeks Later
"How does that feel?" Eris asked as Peter tried on his new suit. "Not too tight?"
"It's incredible." Peter said looking at himself in the mirror.
"Glad you like it kiddo." Tony said as he typed some commands into the suit. A light blue glow spread throughout the suit. "Good. Now that should activate the Training Wheel Protocols."
"Training wheel?" Peter asked, or more correctly whined.
"One step at a time kid." Tony said clapping a hand onto his shoulder. "You got to work your way up. As you progress in your training we'll be able to unlock cooler features then the real fun can begin."
"Fine." Peter reluctantly agreed. "When can we start?"
"Not until tomorrow." Pepper said walking in, "Or did you forget the King and Princess of Wakanda are coming over to talk about a possible deal?" She said lifting an eyebrow to Tony.
"A king and princess?" Peter asked excitedly as Tony walked over to Pepper, "Like real royalty?"
Eris smiled slightly as she typed in a command on her laptop. "Yep. But don't worry the Princess is real sweet.I think you'll like her."
"How do you know?" He asked as he picked up the prototype web bomb "Have you met her?"
"Sort of." Eris said pushing a piece of hair behind her ear. She currently had on a pair of black high waist pants and a dark green long sleeved shirt with one shoulder off.
"Boss." FRIDAY said. "They have arrived earlier than anticipated."
"Where are the others?" Tony asked as Pepper slid a black coat over his Black Sabbath T-shirt.
"The rest of the Team are in the training faculty."
"Well that's our cue." Pepper said patting Tony on the back. "You two coming?"
"Yeah let me just get this-" Peter cut off as the web bomb went off pinning him to the wall.
Eris laughed taking her finger off the 'Enter' button her laptop.
"So... This is what it feels like to be on this side of the web." Peter said looking down at himself in consideration.
"Eris!" Pepper playfully scolded that would've been much more effective if she wasn't also chuckling.
"Is this for eating the last of the pizza?" Peter asked as he tried to get out.
"We'll catch up with y'all." Eris said walking to Peter. "Let me get him out of this."
"Don't take long kiddies." Tony said as he and Pepper walked out.
"So what was this for?" Peter asked as Eris pulled out a knife and began cutting the edges.
"My own fun." Eris admitted.
"I get the feeling I am your personal toy." Peter said.
"You are the only one close to my age." Eris pointed out as he stumbled back down onto the floor. "Of course I get to mess with you."
"Fair enough." He said pushing on the spider on his chest making the suit baggy and sliding off him. He picked up his jeans quickly sliding them on.
"So what else do you know about the Princess?"
"She's 16, your age."
"So you still hold your title as the oldest youngest person?" Peter asked sliding on his atom pun t-shirt and then pulled on his gray sweater.
"Yep." Eris said with a smirk. "She's slightly older than you so you're still the baby of the group."
"You're always going to rub that in aren't you?" Peter asked as they waked down the hall.
"Of course." Eris said. "Got to keep you humble."
They chuckled as they entered the common room. Tony, Pepper, Steve, Natasha a black skinned man in his mid twenties wearing a black suit, and a young black skinned woman wearing a white shirt with a black oval on it and black jeans with her hair in complicated looking braids holding a large metal case were there.
"Your majesties." Eris greeted as the Princess spotted her.
"Stark." the princess greeted walking over to her.
"Ndiyathemba ukuba unomqhubi ohamba phambili." (Xhosa- I hope you had a pleasant flight.) Eris said as they stood in front of each other.
"Bekukuhle. Siyaxabisa izicwangciso." (It was good. Thanks for the blueprints.)
"Bajonga ngathi bedidekile" (Theyre looking at us confused.) Eris noted looking at the others with amusement, although T'Challa did seem to understand them. "Ndacinga ukuba uya kubaxelela abazali bakho esidibene nabo, Shuri." (Shuri I thought you told your parents we met.) She said turning back to her.
"Nda."(I did) Shuri shrugged," Kodwa andixelelanga uThalla."(But I didnt tell TChalla.)
Eris smirked "Kwaye andizange ndixelele uTata." (And I didnt tell Dad.)
Both girls chuckled turning to Peter who looked at them confused and awed.
"Peter this is Shuri," Eris introduced. "Shuri Peter."
"I've seen you before." The both exclaimed at once. "You have?"
"I am such a huge fan of your videos. My favorite is the video of the you making that guy hit himself on YouTube." Peter said.
"And I saw you swinging through the city on YouTube." Shuri pointed out. She chuckled seeing his dumbfound expression. "You have web on your sleeve."
"You posted those videos online?" T'Challa asked grabbing their attentions. The three teens looked over as if remembering they weren't alone.
"You three know each other?" Steve asked.
"No." They said at once.
"The two of us know each other." Eris said gesturing between her and Shuri. "They," She gestured to Shuri and Peter, "Just met."
"Wait." Tony said stepping closer, "When did you two meet?"
"When I went to Lagos." Eris said.
"When did you go to Lagos?"
"When I met Shuri." Eris said with an over the top smile. "Haven't you been paying attention?"
"Pep," Tony whined turning to her.
"A few months ago." Pepper supplied smiling at the girls.
"When Wakanda started spreading it's influence." Shuri said.
"Just before our father died," T'Challa began. "He wanted us to start branching off and spreading Wakanda ideals. We intend to continue this."
"Oh?" Tony said now curious.
"We would like to help sponsor you Avengers. Provide money and our resources."
"What do you know about Wakanda?" Shuri asked.
"No offense but all we know is that it's a third world country." Natasha admitted trying not to sound too rude or snobbish. "Textiles and shepherds."
"Cool outfits." Eris sent them a knowing smirk.
Natasha looked at her with a raised eyebrow as she, Shuri and T'Challa exchanged smirks.
"Do it." Eris suggested.
Shuri smirked putting the case on the floor and opened it revealing a large plain circular shield.
"Vibranium." Shuri confirmed flipping it up. "Lightweight, durable, able to absorb and disperse kinetic energy, as you know the strongest metal on Earth." She tossed it to Peter. "Hold it."
"Steve," Eris called over stepping out of the way. "Hit it. As hard as you want."
Steve looked over at the others confused. "Uh..."
"Entertain the girls." T'Challa encouraged with his stoic face. "Do it."
Steve turned to Peter and punched the shield hard, managing to make Peter slide back slightly.
"Now do it again," Shuri ordered tapping her wrist as she made a holographic camera pop up and Eris got out her own phone. "Same spot."
"What's with the cameras?" Natasha asked.
"Research purposes." T'Challa smoothly said as the others entered the room.
Steve turned back to the shield, shooting an apologetic look at the boy, not noticing his excited and eager look, before he punched the shield only to be thrown back into the wall.
The teens burst into laughter as the others looked a mixture of awe and delight. Although they quickly joined in the laughter.
"Please tell me you got that on video?" Peter asked walking next to the girls.
"Yeah." They both said.
"What sound effects should we add in?" Eris asked as they watched the video again.
"Shuri." T'Challa called. They all looked up.
"Oh right." Shuri said opening up another compartment in her case. "Peter, Eris told me about your suit so I, along with a lot of input from Mr. Stark and Eris, came up with a better design." She pushed a button revealing an Iron Man style version of his suit. "This was weaved with vibranium thread, to ensure protection and the same ability to redistribute kinetic energy like the shield, and a tracker. It also has the ability to release four metallic arms. We call it Iron Spider. You like?"
Peter stepped towards it amazed. "Can we be best friends?" He shamelessly asked.
Shuri chuckled softly. "You can handle the rest right, brother?"
"Well we definitely have a lot to talk about." Pepper said. "I'm sure the kids can hang out for a couple of hours."
"Teens." Eris automatically corrected out of habit. "We're teens not kids."
T'Challa smiled at them fondly.
"Good." Tony said clapping his hands together, "So while we are doing that, Eris you're in-"
He cut off seeing Eris eyes spark an a mischievous grin appear on her face, "No." He then turned back to the others. "Who wants to be on baby sitting duty?"
"What?!" The teens exclaimed.
"I'll do it." Bucky offered coming closer to the teens. "How hard can it be to watch teens? I owe the world my dues. Best way to start is to watch over a few teens, I'll be fine."
"That's the spirit." Tony said. "Just make sure they don't blow anything up."
"There goes that plan." Eris muttered swiping something on her phone before lowering it.
"And that they stay here." T'Challa said pointedly.
"There goes that plan." Shuri said disappointed.
"And no 'improvements' on any other weaponry." Pepper said.
"There goes that plan." Peter mumbled.
"There's still other stuff we can do." Eris suggested. "Come on. Maybe we could..."Her voice trailed off as they walked down the hall.
"See easy." Tony said patting Bucky on the shoulder as he sent him off. "Good luck."
"He's screwed." Sam concluded after Bucky was out of earshot.
"Yep." T'Challa and Tony at once.
"Should someone go with him?" Vision asked.
"Any volunteers?" Pepper asked.
"Nope." They all agreed before moving to the table.
Bucky quickly found the teens in the training room seemingly talking about nothing as they got out the training gear.
"So," Peter began as Eris took out training staffs. "When your brother is stressed, do you sing him Soft Kitty?"
"No." Shuri said automatically, taking a staff. A smirk grew on her lips as she looked to him, "I do know."
A couple of hours later the Avengers and T'Challa were all in the common area talking about how the could spread Wakandan influence around the world.
The doors burst open and a soaking wet Bucky walked in with a trail of magnetic things on his arm. Steve and Sam burst into laughter seeing him.
"Don't you laugh at me Steven!" Bucky said exasperated. "Why do I have to do this? What idiot thought this was a good idea?!"
"You did." Steve says calmly.
"Why didn't you talk me out of it then?"
"What happened?" Pepper finally asked.
"Well after Eris beat them in a sparing match they moved onto movies. The 'Classics' as Eris called them. Starting with Toy Story prompting them to call me Buzz Lightyear.
"And then they started working on this magnet!" He lifted his arm showing a small circular object. "That I can't get off.
"Before proceeding to the pool which of course they knocked me into with a high pressured water gun. Before returning to the movie room to watch Alien."
"This is going to be a long couple of weeks." T'Challa groaned putting his face in his hand.
1 week later
Eris and Shuri circled each other, both wielding a sparring staff. Eris agreed to show her a few moves. T'Challa had to rush back to Wakanda, but Shuri opted to stay. And Tony had another date with Pepper in New York. Peter was also in New York on some trip. The others somewhere else in the Compound.
Shuri lunged with her staff causing Eris to dodge to the left, quickly striking out with her staff knocking Shuri to the ground.
"Ugh!" Shuri groaned letting the staff go as she laid. "What's the point of me learning this? I'm not a fighter, I am an inventor."
"But it's good to see how to move with weapons so you can get a feel on how to improve them." Eris pointed out holding out her hand.
"Yes, I thought it'd be easier than this." Shuri said taking it. "Plus T'Challa insisted I know some self defense."
"Well here's some quick tips." Eris said as the girls put up the sparing staffs walking to the lab that held Shuri's equipment. "Every man has the same weakness."
"And what would that be?" Shuri asked intrigued.
"The space between their legs." Eris smirked as Shuri laughed. "But if you're facing another woman, pulling their hair will help, but aim for the nose. Hit it with the heel of your hand and thrust upwards. Then run for your weapons or someone who can help you."
"And how do you know this?"
"Natasha taught me when she was spying on Dad." Eris shrugged as they walked to the bench where her vibranium gauntlets laid.
"Cool." Shuri said with a smile sliding on one of the gauntlets. "But no one taught you how to wield a vibranium weapon." With that she spun around and blasted one of the cans off the table.
"Not bad." Eris mused trying to hide how impressed she really was. "What else can it do?"
"Well it-" Shuri cut off as an explosion erupted and a large blue beam burst through the roof into the other side of the room.
"Oh my god..." Eris said as she lifted her hand to her ear. "Guys, get to the lab."
Static.
"Guys...?" Eris asked as a man wearing black pants, a green shirt with golden accents, long black shoulder length hair, and cuffed hands fell to the floor. Behind him was a white skinned man with soulless black eyes wearing entirely black and a hood with elf ears as he held a long staff with a blade came.
"Does anyone copy?" Shuri asked into her own com as the blue circle closed. "Does anyone copy?!"
"Where is the mind stone?" the man asked pointing his staff at them.
"Who are you?" Eris asked motioning for Shuri to stay back.
The white skinned man stepped over the other man closer to her, a curious look on his face. "I asked you a question child."
"Leave... Them... Alone..." The man on the ground gasped out with a British accent as he pushed himself onto his knees, green eyes glaring at him. Although Eris noted a small green light blinked in his hand.
"So you do have a will." The man said mockingly, turning back to the man on the floor as Eris made a sword appear in her hand.
"And here I thought you served your use. Now where are these 'mightiest heroes' you spoke of?"
Eris swung her sword at the man, sending him sprawling to the side as the man on the ground threw a dagger into his abdomen. "Right here asshole." She swung the sword better in her grip as she stepped in between them. "Now I'm asking again. Who are you? What do you want?"
The man used his staff to push himself up as he chuckled. "My what a brave child you are. Foolish, but brave."
He then threw his bladed staff at Eris.
"NO!" the man on the ground yelled. He quickly jumped at her pushing them both out of the way of the spear, it pierced into the wall.
The man ran towards them, but was blasted back by one a shot from Shuri's gauntlet.
"Let's go!" Shuri yelled grabbing the handcuffed man by his upper arm as they got up.
Eris nodded as she looked to the white skinned man again summoning red tendrils to encase him in metal before she followed them out into the common room.
"You've got a lot of explaining to do." Eris told the man as they ran.
"Where are we?" the man slowly asked as he looked around confused. "I don't recognize it."
"Of course you wouldn't." Eris said. "This is Avengers Compound."
He blinked at her with barely concealed confusion, awe and horror. "How long has it been?"
"Been since what?" Shuri asked as they turned down a hall toward the Common room.
"Since the Avengers formed? Since the Chitauri Invasion?"
The girls shared confused looks. What was wrong with this man? "Six years." Shuri replied as they burst into the Common Area. "Why does that-?"
They froze seeing a woman wearing black pants, a long sleeve shirt with black sleeves, a black helmet on Vision as she lifted her staff over him as Wanda laid to the side yelling in horror.
Eris threw her hand out blasting the woman off him. The woman flew to the wall with an 'oof' before crumbling to the floor, temporarily stunned.
"Vision!" Wanda yelled scrambling to him, gently cradling his head in her lap as Steve and Natasha entered from the other side.
"Is he...?" Eris trailed off seeing the gash in his side as they neared. She swallowed hard unable to voice that one of her friends might be gone.
"I'm alive." Vision croaked blinking at them a dazed look in his eyes.
"Why is he with you?!" Natasha demanded as the man stiffened in her grip.
"He was their prisoner." Shuri explained. "We couldn't just leave him."
"Speaking of which," Eris looked back as something banged against the door. "We've seriously got to go. Can you stand?"
Vision slowly nodded as he started to rise. Wanda gasped as she threw an arm out pinning the woman down and threw an arm toward the door holding it in place.
"Give us the infinity stone!" the woman yelled fighting against the restraints.
"What stone?" Steve asked readying his shield.
The woman yelled again flexing her arms and escaping the bonds as Wanda gasped in pain just as the man burst through the doors.
"Get down!" Steve yelled throwing his shield toward the man as Shuri and Eris dove to the ground with the prisoner.
"Cut me free." the prisoner said holding his wrist towards the girl as the adults battled around them. "I can help but you have to free me."
Shuri nodded as she looked up. "Look out!" She yelled blasting the man back with her vibraniumm gauntlets just before he could stab Wanda in the back. He flew to the wall.
Eris summoned a blade cutting through the prisoner's bonds. He summoned a blade himself before throwing it at the woman causing her to fall back before she could attack Vision.
Steve and Natasha looked at the man in shock as the woman rose again.
"Move!" Eris shouted as she blasted a combination of a repulsor and red tendrils at the woman knocking her back into the wall. She got back up. "Stay down!"
"Potensialene." The woman said panting before a smirk spread across her face, "We'll be meeting again."
Then in a blue flash she and the man disappeared.
"Who were they?" Shuri asked the man made his dagger disappear and they all walked closer.
"He," the man said as a light passed over him changing his clothes into dark pants, a long sleeved blue shirt and wearing a dark cape with a yellow inside. "Is named Corvus Glaive. The woman, Proxima Midnight. Members of the Black Order."
He released a whine like sound as he fell to a kneeling position showing a bloody right leg.
"First." Shuri said, "That was cool. How'd you do that?"
"Second, we need to check out that wound." Eris said as they knelt next to him. "Lay back." She said moving to push his shoulder back.
Natasha suddenly yanked her back and stood protectively in between them, Steve taking a similar position with Shuri as Vision leaned against Wanda to the side.
"Don't touch him." Natasha hissed to her before turning to the man. "And you stay away from them."
"Nat!" Eris said admonished. "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing here?" Steve said in a commanding voice.
"It's nice to see you too." the man said with a slight smirk.
"We're serious." Natasha sneered.
"Look." Shuri protested, "We can get back to that in a minute. He needs help."
"You don't understand-"
"He saved our lives." Eris said as Scott, Sam, Bucky and Clint burst in.
She ignored them, moving past Natasha and knelt next to him again. She summoned a cloth from the med bay as she pulled his pant leg up, revealing a large and bloody cut. He made another whine like sound as she pressed against it, trying to stop the bleeding.
"They did this to you?" Shuri asked kneeling next to them as Steve, Natasha, Wanda and Vision explained what happened.
"Yes." The man shakily said.
"Why?"
"It was a fight. " The man said grimly with a rueful smile. "Of course I'd get injured. But I suppose a thanks are in order, since you two have saved me twice already."
"Why do they want you?" Eris asked looking at his face, not seeing the orange light that sneaked out of her fingertips and knitted his wound.
"Cause I'm one of the few people who know this world well enough to possibly find the Infinity stones." he said as he leaned to his leg, moving Eris hand away.
They looked down to see his leg healed.
"You heal quick." Shuri noted impressed.
"Now get away." Natasha said pulling them away.
"What is your deal?" Eris asked as Clint shot an arrow next to him as he started to rise.
"Stay down."
"Clint!"
"Why are you so relaxed around him?!" Clint demanded grabbing Eris shoulder as he stared down to her.
"Why do you hate him?" Shuri asked.
"He hasn't done anything wrong." Eris said.
Silence filled the room as they looked between the two teenagers and the man in confusion.
"You truly have no idea who I am." the man finally said as he rose.
"Should we?" Shuri asked, "Granted you aren't..." A blush rose. "Bad to look at, but you don't exactly seem threatening."
"Thank you." the man smirked at the adults. "No one seems to believe that."
"How old were you two during the Battle of New York?" Scott asked.
"11." Eris said the same time Shuri said, "10."
"What do they teach you in school?" Sam asked.
Eris snorted. "You really think Dad would let me go to public school? Or that he would let me access any files about the Battle of New York? He doesn't want me watching... That."
"Ah," the man said. "So you are Stark's daughter."
"Eris." She corrected looking back at the man. "Now what do you have to do with the Battle of New York that makes them hate you so much? The only person that I could think of to make anyone hate them about the Battle is-"
She cut off as it finally struck her. How did Thor describe him? Quick tongued with a mischievous persona, but something more hidden underneath. A master of illusions and magic.
She rushed forward, ripping the net off and held him by his throat.
"Eris!" She heard Natasha call out, but she ignored him and absorbed information from the man.
She needed to know if this was the man that messed with her father's head so much. If this was actually Loki.
AN:
Alright. Two chapters in one week.
Now the plot is starting to pick up more. And now I want to start switching POV's more.
Question about translations- Do y'all like it added next to it in the middle of the story? Or do you want me too add it to the end? Or just leave it without translations? Please let me know.
Again I will try to keep spoilers to a minimum but I will let you know at the beginning of the chapters if there will be major and/or minor spoilers in the chapter.
Want to say thank you to everyone who reviews. Like the second I see a new review I get motivated to add another chapter.
Bye.
