They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books

And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do
Teenagers - My Chemical Romance
Tony Stark was frantically typing at his keyboard desperately looking for anything on his apparently deceased half sister and her family. He nearly noticed anyone enter his lab or look over his shoulder, thinking that the person who just entered was Pepper he absently said, "Could you put my coffee on the table, Pepper."
"It's sweet that you think that I'm Pepper but I don't think she would like me to be your personal assistant because you would probably be dead in a ditch somewhere and I would be responsible. Also, if you want to know anything about me, my parents, and my relatives." She spat the last bit out like it was poison, "you can just ask, you don't have to do any of your fancy pants hacking. Oh, and Nat asked me to ask you where I would be living ."
"Hang on a moment." There was an awkward pause were Tony shut down what seemed like millions of files and Saskia didn't know what to say. "Where is Natasha?"
"Honestly, I don't know, she where a moment ago when we came down." Tony muttered something about stupid super spies and huffed. "Come on then." Annoyance seeping into his tone.
"Umm, OK"
"And you'd better remember the way to your room"
"Yes sir." It hurt Tony slightly that he was addressed as sir, but he realised that Saskia was new to this and she didn't know him enough call him Tony, so as long as she didn't call him Mr Stark he didn't care.
"Breakfast is normally at 7 and try to be early so you actually have food. Everyone is normally starving and will eat anything that anyone cooks even if it gives us food poisoning which does happen a lot when anyone but Pepper cooks so on that day everyone will descend upon the food like sharks would their prey. And on that note I'll show you where you'll be living and I've arranged a family history test thingy just to make sure you are actually my family and you aren't lying about you being my family."
"If it was upon me I would be in my house mourning the untimely death of my godfather gods bless his soul, having prank wars with twin terrors who have been quite accurately been named the twin demons, and having fun which my godfather told me to do in his will, but of course I can't do that anymore. So which room do I have to live in for as long as it takes to get home?"
"You're floor is floor fifty."
"OK, floor fift-you what!?" Saskia exclaimed, "A whole floor, how tall is this building?" She asked, genuinely curious.
"Um about one hundred and fifty floors." He said, his statement sounding more like a question.
"That sounded like a question." Saskia said. "Maybe you should go to a lift and see how many buttons there is."
"Or I could just ask JARVIS which stands for Just A Rather Very Intelligent System." They said the last bit in unison and Saskia told Tony that Natasha had already told her that little titbit of information.
By the time their conversation had ended they had arrived at the fiftieth floor as they had taken the lift.
There was a large boom and a blinding light as everyone made their way to see Thor. When Saskia hesitatingly made her way to the rooftop, Thor had just started to say what he had heard, she cracked the door open a smidge so it was open enough to see and hear everything but not open enough so everyone could see her. "My friends, as part of Loki's punishment the all-father has decided to send him to midgard to fix the damage he and the chitauri had caused. He will be arriving in four midgardian days which is one day in Asgardian time." Thor said gravely
"No I-" Thor cut Tony off.
"Unfortunately it is not up for discussion. Once Odin makes his mind up about something, there is no going back no matter what anyone says. After all, his decision is final." He said bitterly. Saskia fell through the door and had to stifle a yelp just as Tony said fine, his good mood quickly dying out.
"Who is the girl?"
"What girl?"
"The one behind you."
"There isn't one behind me." The insane genius exclaimed just as he turned around. "Oh, that's Saskia my alleged niece.
"I'm not amazing at blood magyks, but she seems to be who she said she is."
"She herself actually told me how much she would rather be at her house than here and the only reason she hasn't gone already is because I arranged for a heritage test."
"She as you so nicely put it is right behind you and if you don't stop talking about her like she isn't here, she will punch you in the face."
"I sense ambient magy-"
"Shut up." A steely glint in her eye told Thor that if he didn't do as she told him, she would find a way to kill the immortal being of immense power.
Saskia huffed, "When is this test-doctor-person coming again?" She started pacing.
"Soon!" Tony half yelled, "I can't just make Doctor Olimpia appear on command. If I could, he would never leave. But apparently he has other patients." Tony Said sulkily.
Saskia stopped pacing, "What is Doctor Olimpia's first name?"
"Apollo, why?"
"Don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence that you Doctor is called Apollo?" At Tony's look she elaborated, "Healing is one of the Olympian god Apollo's domains after all. And where do the Olympians live?" Tony opened his mouth to answer, but the teenager was on a roll, "Don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question. They live on Olympus and are called Olympians. Apollo's surname is Olympia."
At that moment JARVIS told them that they could go through to the lab because Doctor Olympia was waiting to be seen in the lab which had a room next to it which could be used for experiments which might have to be quarantined and doubles over as one of the many medical wings, and stood before the man of science and medicine awkwardly.
Dr Olympia's POV:
"Take a seat. I just need to take some blood it won't be a minute."
I opened my bag which contained my medical equipment including a tray with a lid containing needles to draw blood and vails to collect samples and as I took them out I saw the girl flinch. "Honey it won't hurt," I said in my patented 'It's going to be OK' voice "Or at least not much." She must have heard me as sho flinched again which left me thinking, 'Dam, how good is this girl's hearing to have heard that?' I couldn't think of anything to make her feel better about it which was strange, so I looked at Tony, but he just shrugged. "So I will need your names and birthdays so I can put it on your file."
"Saskia Lilith Potter, and my age is 15" She said tencely.
"Anthony Edward Stark, and I am 39." He said. "But don't you already know that?"
"Yes, but I have to start a new file for this sort of thing." And jotted it down before saying, " "Tony, you first." He pulled up the sleeve of his tee-shirt andI sanitized it with some alcohol before pulling up the plunger drawing blood from his arm and the crimson liquid slowly filled the glass container and I used my epic godly powers to store it. I got fresh equipment out of my bag and turned to Saskia. She flinched once again as I turned to her with my tray holding the necessary stuff, Tony tried to calm her down but it didn't work. As a last resort I just said "Give me your arm and I'll do the rest."
"O-ok." She held out her slightly shaking arm and I rubbed it with alcohol, she closed her eyes, no longer shaking, but almost inviting the inevitable object the would pierce her skin.
Sorry for procrastinating, and making you wait this long but I had a slight case of writer's block, and I had a few technical difficulties meaning my tablet decided to die, but don't worry, it's resurrected now.
Yes, I may also kinda make this a Percy Jackson fanfic as well :Dmagyks ~ the Asgardian's brand of magic.39 feels like a good strong age because my trusty sidekick google is not as trustworthy as I thought as it gave me ages varying from seventy to thirty so I just made up his age.
No corpses of elecrical items were harmed / dug up from a bin or something in the making of this chapter.
