So, I'm very sorry for this taking so long, but I got a new computer for Christmas and I a trying to et used to it. In fact, I am having some problems right now but I am ignoring them to post this. This is the very last chapter and I decided I will not be making a sequel. I will, however, be posting new story hopefully soon. I'd love if you took the time to read it; it should be up this weekend sometime. :)
Chapter Ten: A Team Is a Family for Life
I walked down the stairs and was met by the sight of all my family sitting in the living room. My father opened his arms for me and I ran into them. I hugged him tightly and he hugged me back.
"I'm so sorry I didn't do anything to help you."
"I know."
"I love you, Sophie." I smiled against his chest.
"I love you too, Pops." He kissed my hair and I heard a throat clear.
"Talk now, family reunion later." Fury was standing in all his glory in the center of the room and I rolled my eyes as I turned my attention to him. I walked up to him. "I believe I underestimated you. You and your team."
I raised an eyebrow as most of the room, including myself, said, "Team?"
"Yes. Team. I have a proposition for you, Sophia. Would you like to hear it?"
"No she wouldn't -" I interrupted my dad with a hand raise and my words.
"I'd love to hear it, Uncle Fury. I'd also like to apologize for wreaking your cages a few weeks ago. It was very rude of me, but you really gave me no choice. No hard feelings."
"Right, no hard feelings, I understand." He changed back to the other topic, strictly business. "I'd like your team on my side, Sophia. I'd like to make you a real team, through S.H.I.E.L.D. I'd like you all to go on missions, like your parents."
"No way in hell, Fury. You've already ruined our lives; you aren't dragging our kids into it!" My dad said. The other adults were agreeing.
"I don't believe it is up to you, I believe it is up to me and the people who would make up the team."
"Sophie, you can't be serious-" I interrupted my father.
"I am." I turned to the others. They were all smiling or grinning or smirking. "What do you guys say?"
"I say hell yeah!" Howie and Nat yelled. They exchanged a high five.
"I'll follow you into battle any day!" William said with a huge cheeky smile.
"You'll have Jr. on your side." Gavin said.
"I go where you go, sis." Danny said with a wink.
"And I go where he goes so…" Lizzy smiled.
"I'm going to be with my brother and sister till the end." Max grinned.
"I'll follow you all, in case you need a little magic boost." Bri said, Jack agreeing.
"You might need a mind reader." Em shrugged.
"I'm not gonna miss anything!" Ash said.
"Well, we know that somebody needs to be there for you when you open that sarcastic mouth of yours. I've got your back." Brent concluded.
"You guys can't do this. What if you get hurt?" Bruce was pretty worried.
"We'll be fine, Uncle Bruce. I'll keep an eye on them, don't worry." I said
"A team is much different than a family, Sophie. You won't be on easy missions where you can try to avoid battle. You'll be going right into danger; it's different than managing a family outing or rescue mission for your father." Dad informed me, as if I had no clue about real life.
"You're wrong, Dad. A team is exactly like a family. I think you guys have proved it. A team is a family that is there for life. They never go away."
