3 weeks later…

"Are you sure you're okay?" I was dropped off in front of the local high school by Natasha in her 'undercover' look, a pair of comically large sunglasses with a large white headband in her hair. She looked down her nose at me and smiled. "Just be careful, keep your head down and if anything happens at all, give a call and we'll come and pick you up."

"Okay Mom." I rolled my eyes at her over-protectiveness. "I'll be fine, I've gone to school since I was three, you know and I never had an issue before."

"Bye."

I walked in the front doors of the school and caught my reflection in the glass, I barely recognized myself. After the fight from a week ago, my face was on the front of newspapers and on the internet, wondering who the new avenger was. So Tony created a taskforce of one to solve my issue. The end result was colored contact lenses, glasses, four inch platform shoes and blue hair extensions. I pushed past the crowds of people and now with my added height, I was taller than most everyone in the hallway and I made my way to the office where I was to get my schedule.

"Umm, Maddy Greene to pick up a schedule." I changed my last name for the records after Tony joked that I had to be the long-lost daughter of Bruce because of my ability to have three different conversations going at the same time he does. The secretary sitting behind the desk had bright orange teased hair piled onto her head with glasses that were shaped like triangles. She pulled my classes up on the computer and printed it out for me to take. She also handed me my student ID and on the bottom of it in the corner there were five letters SAPDI. I blushed at what they spelled but knew what they stood for, Special Absences Permitted Due to Illness. We came up with a disease called Influenza Paralysis. It is an excuse for me to be missing school all the time due to missions and recovery. I'm not entirely sure what I was actually sick with but they believed it on the admissions records. I walked briskly to my first class which was history. I was about ten minutes into the start of class when I knocked on the door. A tall blond women walked over from the board to open the door.

"Hello, you must be Maddy. It's nice to see that you finally showed up. Is everything okay? It's been a week."

"Well, moving was hard and I got really...hurt after moving some boxes." That wasn't the total untruth. After the battle in Kansas with those awful flesh eating mechanical cows, I was thrown into the side of a building and I heard the worst sounding 'crack' I had ever heard in my head and I had trouble standing up straight for a moment. Of course I had my comm on and a string of curses were sent into everyone's ear.

"Is everything okay Kinetic?" Cap worriedly asked. Soon a chorus of concerned follow ups came into my ear. "Kinetic, you need to answer me NOW! I swear, if you don't answer me I will personally get Thor to hit you with Mjolnir. So help me, where are you!"

"Ack, cool your stars and stripes, I'm okay, just thrown into a building. Not a big deal." I tried to calm everyone's concerns but just as I had tried to get up to go to safety, I had to dodge out of the way because a large heifer was coming my way, "Fudge Nuggets!" I yelled into my earpiece.

"I'm coming to pick you up." Just seconds later, Tony landed and he hurriedly flipped his face plate up, "What's the matter? I don't see any bleeding."

"No, I was thrown into a building and it's my side, I don't think anything's broken but it hurts like a son of a gun."

"We'll have to get that checked out when we get these cows milked." He smiled at me, "Don't worry about it though, you now are truly one of us, getting hurt on a mission and I must say, those were some pretty creative swears, this is the only time that Capsicle lets us get away with anything! But by JARVIS' scans, you really only bruised a couple of ribs. I think we're almost done with them, can you walk or run maybe? I'd carry you but I don't know what we're going to come across."

"Look, I'll try, if I pass out, just finish up the cows, then come looking for me." he took off back up into the air while I ran back to where we had landed. Of course it was about a mile away and with my injured side, it took me about two minutes to run back to it and when I got there, I was breathing even heavier than I would if I ran a marathon. Which I have. Of course the next day I was supposed to start school but I waited the extra week before actually going. Of course the ribs weren't healed yet and I still had a couple of weeks but I had them bandaged and was taking pain management pills. It's one of those things that you look at Captain America and you think it would be so cool to be that strong and fast and everything but it comes with so many drawbacks, namely, no pain meds will help.

Standing in the front of the class, I was starting to have second thoughts about actually going to school. Tony had offered that i could be homeschooled by, as he said, the smartest people in the world, but I had to actually go to school because that's what my parents wanted for me. I was seated right up front in the middle of the row and ready to take on whatever we were learning about.

The teacher, Ms. O'Flaherty, announced that the class was to pull out their current event articles and she began to call on students to present their articles. I came to realize that the articles didn't necessarily have to be about history related things but anything from the latest, science discovery to politics. One girl Molly had an article about the effects of Global Warming on the Great Barrier Reef, a boy named Adam wrote about medical findings Stark industries had developed and finally, a girl named Sydney came up with an article that went back to a topic that apparently came up at least once every Monday when these presentations were due; The Avengers. I tried to shrink a bit in my seat, afraid that someone would recognize me but thankfully no one did, the article was about how there was a secret lab in some foreign country attempting to come up with a biological weapon that we were asked to help take down. Not everyone went on that one and for several days I was left in the Tower with Bucky, Bruce and Tony because it was deemed that he hadn't gotten enough sleep to benefit the team. He was spitting mad about that one! Bucky didn't go because he volunteered to stay with me because they all think I'm four and need someone to watch me, but I did appreciate it. Bruce was in his lab most of the time and Bucky helped me practice some actual hand-to-hand skills which I did help. His technique is different from Natasha's in the way that she won't flat out explain how to do something instead just keep doing the same move on you until you can protect yourself from it and by that point, you're black and blue. But Bucky explained how to do it, gently demonstrated then stood there so you could attack him, not that I could move him by any means but by the end of the lesson, he would dramatically fall to the floor acting as though I had personally torn him limb from limb.

The article continued to explain how the group had saved the day, yet again but noted the absence of three of the members and proposed possible reasons for it. One of the most wild ones was the three of them had been kidnapped by the evil scientists who had developed the monster that they were sent to eradicate. After class, I went to leave the room but was swept up by two girls who grabbed my arms and pulled me into the hallway.

"Hi! I'm Megan and this is Rachel and we are planning the midwinter dance. We were wondering if you would want to be on the committee!"

"Yeah," Rachel added on, "We need help planning everything, we haven't even come up with the theme! You seem to be full of good ideas,so what do you say? Will you do it? Meetings are during lunch?"

"Sure! Sounds like fun, just warning you now, I'm not sure how much of a help I don't know how many meetings I'll actually be able to make."

"Who cares!" Megan said, "We'll see you in two periods! Bye!"

I couldn't wait for lunch and when I walked into the classroom of the teacher who was the teacher advisor of the dance, I only saw three other people.

"Is anyone else coming?" I asked, setting my bag down on an empty desk.

"Nope! It's just us!" Rachel replied, "And this is Mark. He has to be here because he lost a bet. We need to get down to business. We have two months to plan this dance and we don't even have a theme! No theme means no colors, no outfits, no decorations! I don't want something as mundane as carnival or under the sea."

"I have an idea." Mark calmy said.

"Well spit it out!" Megan was impatiently sitting there with a notepad on her lap.

"Superheros?"

"No!" Rachel had stood up, "I'm not going to be running around with a bunch of guys in tights!"

"But we can make it classy or whatever." Now, Mark was in defense of his idea. "We could just have everyone come in wearing capes or something and the decorations could just be a city scape. Simple!"

"Yeah, sounds great," I replied, "And I bet you could get the Avengers too." I said jokingly, not thinking about what I was actually saying.

"Actually, that's a great idea!" Megan was excited. "If they come, we will get the highest attendance in the history of every school ever!"

"What? Wait! No! I was joking, I mean, they actually wouldn't come, right? They have to have better things to do."

"I've got it!" Rachel was on her computer. "I'll send an email to the address I found online. I think it's going to go to his assistant. It's being sent to a ppotts . I hope we get a reply backsoon! This would be really cool!"

'Oh no! Not Pepper!' I thought to myself. I guess now I just have to convince everyone else that this is a good idea.

What do you think? What should Pepper's reaction to the email be and should the teacher get more nosey or no?
