4. Meeting the Avengers

Chapter 4 –Meeting the Avengers (or what's left of them)

"By the way thank you, the weekend was awesome. You know you didn't have to do this, right." "I'm glad you enjoyed it. You'd do the same for me T., wouldn't you?" The smile that appeared on his face was answer enough. "Now get in the car, we're going to the Avengers HQ, the boys are definitely worried about you."

As we sat down in the car Tony started his philosophical thinking process: "You know, Vision isn't human, so you can't really call him boy, Elianne." That is a nickname he only uses when we're alone and he wants to tease for I don't like it, which is good right now because it means his mood is very, very good. Let the word game begin: "And I'm from earth and you still call me alien." "No I call you Elianne, with an E as in E-L-I-A-N-N-E." He invented it when we were still students. "Ok, Tiger, now will you tell me finally how you came up with it. Because I have the feeling you didn't just shorten Emilianne. That would be so not you." "Sure, I'll tell you," a faint glimmer of hope to solve the big mystery appeared," but not yet. Be patient my dear Emi, The time will come." Aaand the glimmer was gone. "This sounds reasonable coming from the most impatient person in the world. What is such a big deal about it anyway?" He's really not that bad, he can be patient if he wants to, but you don't want to have him in briefings. "As I said, when the time is right I'll tell you."

This kind of conversation went on and on for the entire drive, so after about 20 minutes later we finally arrived at the complex. Rhodey greeted us as we exited the car: "Man, don't ever scare us like that. Disappearing without trace is no fun man. Pepper already called, sorry about that. But I see you were in good hands. Hi, Emily! " I stepped out from behind Tony: "Hey, Rhodey! Long time no see, how are you recovering?" "Fine, thanks to Mr. Stank here." I burst out laughing. Rhodey and Tony joined in. After a while, Tony said: "Now come on, let's go inside so Emi here can finally be introduced to Vision." Spider-man I already encountered in the streets of New York, but I had yet to meet Vision or the Jarvis humanlike version in person.

The red/green android sat on the couch when we entered. He immediately stood up and turned around. "Hello, I'm Emily and you must be Vision. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." I was amazed, I mean how many times do you get to meet an android and I don't count the one on your Smartphone. "Hello, I'm pleased to meet you, too. Mr. Rhodes has been asking Mr. Stark to bring you here for a long time. I can see why, you seem to be good friends." Okay, now I'm blushing. This day is slowly getting weird. Then Tony cut in: "And she can do the same things you can." What's he talking about? "Is she like Wanda?" Who? "Yes and no. While Wanda's abilities were artificial, Emily's are a naturally occurring genetic mutation. A strong one I may add." Ahh, Wanda's the girl whom Strucker experimented on. Now that I'm in the pictures, I'll just skip to something my mind's been playing with since last week. "So, you guys are what's left of the Avengers?" Ok, that was a bit insensitive. Three heads turn at me. Time for a quick save. "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I wanted to give you an alternative to working like this, to the Sokovia Accords." I stopped. It caught their interest. Tony, probably already suspecting what I had in mind, said: "Keep going." "Okay, so I have a company, GNC, which has teams that operate under the UN. There are 4 teams stationed here currently, other around 200 all around the world. The point is we don't have the Sokovia accords; we have different ones and are basically free. If you want to, I could get you transferred under me and you would become part of the International Peacekeeping Alliance. It's just an offer; you don't have to accept it." Even though the whole Sokovia accords fiasco happened months ago, it still feels like rushing things. But I mean, they are 3, 4 sometimes.

After a few minutes of silence Rhodey spoke: "We'll talk it through and let you know. But it sounds good. It's not that we can do much right now on our own. You are giving us a great opportunity."

I finally got a tour of the facility. I'm impressed, the grounds are bigger than I thought they would be and from the architectonical point of view it is simple and modern. Good job, whoever designed it. But there was something about this place I didn't like – the emptiness, loneliness of it. Once a home for teammates and friends, full of life was now a lonely place for the group of friends, the remaining members of the once Earth's Mightiest Heroes team. Sure, the scientists, former Shield agents, Fury and the rest who occupied the buildings stayed, but it definitely wasn't the same.

We can't bring them back yet, they would be arrested. Ross is probably the only person who wants this. The official investigation of the incident has started, right now, we can only wait.

But, I know there is one person in this world the guys would be happy to see and he can still come to the country legally. All I have to do is to find him and bring him here. I doubt it is going to be easy, but if it helps, let's do it!
