A/N: So, just to let you guys know, I've kind of made Edward a jerk. It was unintentional. That's just how it happened, I guess. Anyways, hope you enjoy the chapter!

Third Person POV
Tony Stark was growing angrier by the minute. He had just come back from another patrol looking for Loki. There was no sign of him. This was not a good thing. Who knew what kind of mischief he could be causing?
He flew onto the roof of Stark Industries, huffing in frustration as his armor was removed. "JARVIS, let the team know I'm coming in and have an update. Meet in the living room."
"Yes, sir. I believe they were hoping for good news." He rolled his eyes at the AI. "Well, they're not going to get it." He walked in the door of his personal suite and sat at the table just as Steve, Bruce, Natasha, Clint and Thor were sitting down. It was Natasha who spoke first.
"So Tony, what's happened? Anything new?" He scowled. "Well Widow, what the hell do you think? Considering the fact that Loki has basically disappeared off the face of the planet when in fact we know he's still here, things are just peachy." She frowned at Tony. "I expected a professional update, not a bratty child's whining." He got ready to retort, when JARVIS interrupted him.
"Sir, I apologize for the interruption, but there is someone at your door and I cannot identify him." Tony thought that was odd. Usually JARVIS could tell him who was at the door. "What do you mean?" "I mean I can't identify his species." That put everyone on high alert. They heard a knock at the door and Tony went to answer it.
When he opened the door he didn't know what to expect, but he certainly wasn't expecting this, a very pale man who looked like he could model underwear for Calvin Klein. He looked about 17 with copper-toned hair and the strangest colored eyes he had ever seen. They were golden yellow, almost like a wolf. Upon seeing them, he knew one thing. No human had eyes that color, not without eye surgery or something of the like.
"Hello Mr. Stark. I believe I have some information you'll find useful. May I come in?" Tony looked back at the team. Thor looked confused, Bruce looked nervous, Steve looked relaxed while still being battle ready. Clint and Natasha's eyes were darting around, taking every detail about their surroundings. Natasha's eyes narrowed as she saw Edward. She spoke in Russian, something so did very little.
"Chto vy?" Edward answered back in the same tongue. "Rasslabʹtesʹ. Ya obʺyasnyu ." The rest of the team grew tense. It was Thor who spoke. "Sir, from where do you come?" Edward grinned. "As I just told Miss Romanov, if you give me just a moment, I will explain. May I sit?" Tony nodded. "Of course." Edward sat down in one of the dining room chairs. "I must say, it's nice to meet The Avengers. The Volturi has expressed interest in you, but only as a passing fancy. It's never really occurred to them how powerful you are." They all stiffened. "I'm sorry; I'm getting ahead of myself. My name is Edward Cullen. I live in Forks, Washington. It has recently come to my attention that you are looking for someone named Loki, is that correct?" Thor grew agitated. "Mortal, how do you know that name? Does he have some kind of bargain with you?" Edward rolled his eyes. "No. I just happen to know where he is." Natasha jumped up with her gun at the ready. "And how exactly did you get this information, Edward?"
He looked at the gun and chuckled, a tinkling sound. "You actually think that will hurt me?" Her eyebrow twitched. He shrugged his shoulders. "Give it your best attempt." Less than two seconds after he answered her, she fired. She stood there shocked. He had literally just stood there and let her shoot him. The bullet had hit him and bounced off, into the wall like it was nothing. She got into a battle ready stance. He held his hands up in surrender. "I promise, I'm not here to cause trouble." She snarled at him. "What are you? You're obviously not human." He smiled his crooked smile. "You are correct. And now that you know, if The Volturi ever find out that you know, they will either kill you or demand you be changed. Immediately."
It was Steve who spoke next. "Who exactly are these 'Volturi'?"
"They are the rulers of my kind" Edward informed him.
"And what is your kind?" Bruce asked, curious.
Edward drove his point home. "I'll give three hints. I can't eat food, I'm incredibly fast and strong, and I don't go out in the sunlight."
Natasha's eyes lit up.
"Vampir."
The rest of the team looked at her with wide eyes.
He grinned. "That's right. Vampire."
Tony grew confused. "So wait, vampires exist? You'll burn to a crisp if you're in the sunlight?" Edward corrected him. "Actually, that part of the legends isn't true. Instead, I do this."
He went over to the window and pulled back his shirtsleeve, causing a million diamond sparkles to light up the room. They all gasped. "So, do you kill humans?" It was Clint who spoke this time. Edward shook his head. "No, I hunt animals. That's why my eyes are gold. If I hunted humans, my eyes would be crimson red. Now, would you like to know where Loki is?"
They all sat down and got to business.
"So wait, he's in Forks? What is he doing there?" Natasha asked.
Edward informed them of the worst part. "And the worst part is, he's with my Bella." They all had a WTF look on their faces. "Who is Bella?" Tony asked.
Edward grew somber. "My true mate. I don't know why he's with her, but I fear what he has planned for her."
Tony stood up and looked around. "Well team, looks like we're headed to the Pacific Northwest. JARVIS, ready my private jet and place a call to Director Fury. We're going for Loki. And we're not going down without a fight. We won't let him harm anyone else. Don't worry, Edward. We'll get Bella back."
Edward's inner beast purred happily.
Exactly what I wanted to hear.
A/N: So, what did you think? Like it? Hate it? *ducks from flames* For those of you who are hating Edward, don't worry. *evil laugh* I have something special planned for him.
Reviews would be wonderful!
