A week later found Steve and Bruce chasing Tony around the tower. "TONY COME ON IT'S TIME FOR A BATH!" Bruce yelled.
"I'M A FULL GROWN MAN! I DON'T WANT A BATH!" Tony yelled back.
"YOU MIGHT BE A FALL GROWN MAN BUT RIGHT NOW YOUR ACTING LIKE A CHILD!" Steve yelled as he put on a burst of speed and managed to grab Tony around the middle.
"LET ME GO STEVE!" Tony cried laughing.
"Bath," Steve said as he plonked Tony in the bathroom.
"OK fine. But don't you two have an apointment at the orphanage in about twenty minutes?" Tony asked as he stripped off his shirt.
"HOLY CRAP!" Bruce cried as he grabbed Steve's arm, kissed Tony on the head, and ran out of the room and into one of the many cars lining the garage.
Fifteen minutes later they arrived at the orphanage. Both Steve and Bruce were greated by the head matron. "The children are this way," she said stiffly after approving the application. Bruce and Steve followed her into a room which was full of children. They swollowed thickly and sat at the edge of the room to observe the children. Suddenly Bruce spotted two children crouched in the corner of the room and watching them.
"Hello there," Bruce said softly and Steve looked over. "What's your name?" Bruce asked the boy.
"Zaiden," the boy replied.
"And who's this?" Steve asked looking at the small girl who was standing beside him.
"Zandra. My sister." Zaiden replied. Zaiden's green eyes watched the two men carfully as he ran his hand through his blonde hair. Zandra copied her brothers movements through her black hair her green eyes watching her brother.
"And how old are you Zaiden?" Bruce asked kindly.
"Five," Zaiden replied.
"What about you Zandra?" Steve asked.
"She can't talk. She's two," Zaiden said.
"How long have you been here Zaiden?" Bruce asked.
"One and a half years," Zaiden replied.
"Well how would you like to come and live with us and the other avengers?" Steve asked.
"You live with the other avengers?" Zaiden asked.
"We are some of the avengers," Steve replied. "I'm Captain America and Bruce is the Hulk," Steve replied.
"The Hulk is my faviourite Avenger," Zaiden said and then took hold of Bruce's hand and Zandra took Steve's.
While the two children were packing the matron looked at the two men in shock. "You are the first people to want to take those two. Well the first to want to take Zaiden. Usually the families just want to take Zandra but we can't separate siblings," the matron said.
"Why don't they want to adopt Zaiden?" Bruce asked in shock.
"He murdered his parents," the matron replied. Steve and Bruce looked at the matron in shock.
"What happened?" Steve asked.
"The mother was a drug addict and the father was a drunk. Both used to beat Zaiden and one day the mother hit Zandra because she was crying. Something happened to Zaiden and the mother was slawtered. The father came in and started hitting Zaiden for killing the mother adn the father was slawtered. A neighbore had called the police and when they arrived, they found the parents slawtered. They found Zaiden covered in blood cradeling a six month old Zandra and singing to her." The matron said. Steve and Bruce looked at each other but knew they still wanted to take the two with them.
