And then there was the Next Avengers.

Tony had gathered the team inside a training center under the hotel. Thanks to Pepper's sewing skills (and a portal to Asgard), the team had been supplied with super hero suits.

"I don't know why we have to wear these weird costumes." Henry complained.

"Every super hero needs an awesome costume." Tony shrugged. "Besides, your parents would appreciate the ninja-ness of the suit." Emma chuckled.

"Emma, you look cool. I don't." Henry muttered. Henry wore a dark suit with a black cloth covering his mouth, and another band wrapped around his forehead.

"You look like a ninja." Mike said, pulling his mask over his forehead. "I look like a Captain America reject." He pulled a black jacket over a red shirt. The shirt matched his pants, which were dark blue with a red belt. His mask was striped red and blue.

"You are a Captain America reject." Tony corrected Mike.

"I don't know what you're all complaining about." Emma said, flexing her glove. "I like my suit." Her uncle had upgraded her glove, giving her a second one with more advanced tech. She had a black jacket over a grey shirt, and black Capri pants. A pair of goggles rested on her head.

"I agree with Emma; these suits are most impressive." Freyr noted. He wore a suit of armor, and a red cape. His sword was in sheath on his belt.

"I think my costume is the best." Dave boasted.

"Dave, you don't have a costume." Tony said. Dave jumped around.

"You bet!" He said, wagging his tail. Emma sighed.

"Uncle, just ignore Dave." The girl said. "So we have our names and costumes, now what?"

"We train." Tony said. "First lesson: Don't defile my niece." Tony punched Freyr in the face. Freyr fell to the ground with a thud. Emma gasped.

"What is your problem?" Emma snapped. Freyr growled and got up; launching himself at Tony.

"Lesson two: Don't attack without thinking." Tony step-sided Frey; allowing the god to crash into the door. "You have skills, mini-Thor, but you have serious anger issues. Just like Emma…" This caused Emma to snap. She blasted her uncle with a laser. As he took the time to block it, Emma got closer and hit him in the face.

"Lesson three: Always have a back-up plan." Emma smirked. Her uncle laughed, but nodded.

"You've learned." Tony said. "That's good. How about you, Lieutenant," Tony asked, turning to Mike, "what skills do you have? Besides, you know, the whole super-soldier thing."

"Well, I can drop the base." Mike said.

"Great. Next time I need to torture Pepper with techno music, I know who to call." Tony drawled sarcastically.

"That's not what I meant. I'm good with electronics and hacking of sorts." Mike corrected himself.

"There we go." Tony said. "I don't need to question Blackhawk's abilities, because you don't question ninjas, and Freyr could probably decapitate my head with the sword, so we all have our back-up plans. Let's move on to lesson four: Don't back down." Tony hit a button on the wall; a boxing ring rising up in the room. "Skylark, mini-Thor, I want you two to fight."

"What?" Freyr asked, confused. "Why would I fight Emma?"

"So we can understand each other's weaknesses, right?" Henry asked quietly.

"Bingo." Tony smiled. "This kid's got it down." Emma jumped into the ring.

"Come on Freyr, it'll be fun." She attempted to coax him over. "Besides, maybe you can prove it to me that boys are stronger than girls."

"Well, they are." Freyr said, walking over. "However, it would be good for me to warm up my skills." He jumped into the ring, paralleling Emma.

"What skills?" Emma asked. "All I see is a blonde teenager with anger issues."

"It is on." Freyr growled. He pulled out his sword and leaped towards Emma.

"Activate shield!" Emma commanded, slamming her forearms together. Her gloves came together, forming a silver shield. Freyr's sword collided with it, pushing both teens back to the sides of the ring. "Sorry Freyr, but this is not going to end well for you." As her gloves came back to normal, Emma rubbed her thumb against the base of her right palm. A silver circle opened up and shot a laser at Freyr. He jumped up; narrowly dodging the blast. He came down, his foot stretched out.

"On the contrary," Freyr landed a kick to Emma's stomach, "it seems that you will be the one to lose." Emma fell to the ground, while Freyr stood on the mat. She pushed herself up, and kicked her boots together. She hovered over Freyr, smirking.

"You can't hit what you can't catch." Emma said, flying through the air. She fired another blast at Fryer, sending him to the ground. He growled and pulled out his sword. Swinging it around, he sent a flash of light towards Emma. She dodged it, and the ball of light hit the ceiling, knocking out a light in the process. Tony quickly intervened.

"Alright, let's not destroy this gym. I paid a lot for this to be built." Tony exclaimed. "Nice job you two. Now, let's have reject and Dave spar." Mike rolled his eyes at the nick-name.

"Why do I have to fight a dog?" The boy asked.

"Because I'm magical!" Dave shouted. The dog instantly transformed into an elephant and knocked Mike over.

"Get off!" Mike kicked Dave off of himself, sending the elephant-dog flying into the ring. The super-soldier ran over, jumped up, and punched the ground, sending a piece of rock flying towards Dave. The dog turned into a bird, and swiftly dodged the attack. He flew towards Mike, morphing into a pterodactyl as he dove down. He picked up Mike and flung him into the air. Mike grabbed onto a light fixture on the ceiling, and then dropped down on the unsuspecting Dave. The two hit the ground with a thud.

"Ouchie." Dave whimpered. "I call uncle!" Mike rolled off of Dave and got up. "What's next?" Dave asked, transforming back into a dog.

"I arranged for a plane to take you guys to L.A tonight." Tony said. "From there, you'll await orders from—"

"That's it?" Emma asked. "Only one day in training and you tell us that we're ready?" Tony shook his head.

"I forgot to teach you all lesson five." Tony said.

"What's lesson five?" The team asked simultaneously.

"Lesson five: Be ready for anything."

I don't have any thoughts on this chapter. I guess just read, review, and have a nice day. Reviews would be appreciated.
