Author's Note: So here we are... Age of Ultron. I'm seriously so excited to be finally at this point because I'm so close to Civil War. I know I said before that Age of Ultron would only be like three chapters long but now I'm thinking four. This chapter was going to be longer but I knew if I included what I wanted to include in it then it would be way too long. So four chapters.

So I hope that you liked Susan from the last chapter. I know that you didn't see much of her and that's how it was supposed to be. It was just a meeting between her and Steve. Remember that their relationship isn't a major point in this story. It's more of something that's happening in the background of Emma's life. Emma and Peter are the major couple of this story.

I also want to thank my reviewers from the last chapter. Thanks to Spawn Hades for their review and I would just like to say that Civil War isn't going to have a different outcome and that's all I'm going to say about that for the moment. Also to answer your question about whether or not things would be different if Peter had been recruited by Steve first... Well, if Peter was on team Cap then I think that everyone could've gotten away on the quinjet and stopped Zemo. I also think that Tony probably wouldn't have found out about what Bucky did to his parents. They would've stopped Zemo and that might've made everyone realize that Bucky wasn't the problem and everything might've been okay. Now that I've said that I don't really think that Steve would've recruited Peter in the first place because Peter is the same age as Emma and a major thing in this story is going to be Steve not letting Emma back into the action. Emma and Peter are just kids that shouldn't be involved with adult conflicts. I think that's the way Steve would see it. I think that team Cap could've won if Peter had been on their side but I don't think that Steve would've recruited him. Also thanks to TheUltimateBibliophile and JokeLove123 for their reviews!

So keep reviewing please and thanks to all the favorites and follows!

Part II: Hardest of Hearts

Avengers Tower

Manhattan, New York

2015

"They're almost back." Maria Hill told Emma as the fourteen year old sat in main living room area of the tower. It looked strange since it was so empty. The living room was usually filled with various Avengers but today was an exception. Steve and the others had left for another mission the day before. Apparently they had received information about a secret Hydra base located in Sokovia. Emma thought she might've been to it at one point in her life but she couldn't recall whether or not she had. It had been so long ago.

It seemed to be a regular occurance over these past few months of Steve and the others leaving to infiltrate Hydra bases and everytime Emma grew more and more worried. She hated just sitting there and wondering if Steve was alright. The feeling was beyond frustrating to Emma because she had all of these abilities yet she was as helpless as someone like Darcy or Jane. So she just did as Steve told her and waited. Emma knew that Steve only wanted the best for her but it was still infuriating how he just made her sit home and wait like that when she could do so much more. It had been about a year since she had arrived back at the tower but Emma still felt like Steve was treating her like she was some fragile, delicate flower.

"Any injuries?" Emma asked the dark haired woman. Darcy and Jane had been called away somewhere else temporarily, something about Jane being needed elsewhere. Jane was an astrophysicist that was in high demand these days and where ever Jane went, Darcy also went. Pepper was back in California tending to important matters regarding Stark Industries. Sam and Rhodey were away as well. Rhodey apparently had plenty of missions as War Machine, ones that were slightly below the Avenger's pay grade. Sam was tracking down a lead on her father but Emma doubted it would amount to anything. While Darcy, Jane, and Pepper weren't likely to come back for another couple of weeks, she knew that Sam and Rhodey were coming back in a couple of days. She had heard that Stark was throwing a party so she assumed that they would be coming back for the party. Since everyone else was currently gone from the tower, Steve had left Maria as her personal babysitter. She could tell that Maria liked the idea about as much as she did.

"Barton got injured. A nasty gash to his side but it's nothing Dr. Cho can't fix." Maria told her. "No other injuries." Emma nodded.

"Was the mission a success?" Maria smiled.

"Yes, we got Loki's sceptor. It's secure now." Emma was happy to hear that. Loki's sceptor had been the main goal of the missions aside from also hunting down Rumlow or any other top Hydra operatives. Steve and the others had informed Emma that Rumlow still lived even after the Helicarrier practically fell on him. It made sense to Emma. Evil bastards like Rumlow always managed to survive. Unfortunately Rumlow had been able to escape from the hospital he had been kept in and no one knew of his whereabouts since then. It made Emma feel uneasy not knowing where he was since he could come popping up at anytime but Emma felt as though she was prepared for him. If he came looking for her then he would regret it. Emma might just forget about the promise she made to herself that she would never end another life.

"And Rumlow?" Maria's smile fell off her face.

"He's still missing." Maria said. "I don't think he's at any of the Hydra bases. He probably heard the Avengers were infiltrating them and went into hiding." Emma raised a brow at that.

"He's hiding away from Hydra which is the hiding places of all hiding places? That's rich." Emma said with a bitter tone.

"We'll find him, Emma, now that we've got the sceptor out of Hydra's hands Rumlow will be our top priority." Emma seriously hoped for Rumlow's sake that the Avengers found him first because if she did… well, he'd be wishing that he was seeing the other end of the Hulk's fist rather than what Emma had planned for him.

"However, we did find Strucker and Dr. List." Maria continued which piqued Emma's interest. Emma had informed everyone of the danger that was Strucker and Dr. List, an iconic Hydra duo. The two had a knack for human experimentation that they probably didn't stop from doing after Emma had been injected with the serum. "They're being taken to a secure location before they arrive at a prison where they will spend the rest of their lives rotting away in."

"Strucker is going to be a bit harder to get anything out of but Dr. List is a coward." Emma told Maria seriously. "You won't have to do much to get anything out of him. He's spineless."

"Duly noted." Maria replied before she held up her tablet towards Emma. Emma had been reading a book that had been forgotten and even more so when she saw what was on the tablet. It was two files that were displayed on the screen side by side. One showed a girl who must've been at least in her early twenties and next to her was a guy who looked roughly the same age. The girl's hair was a dark brunette while the guy's hair was a striking silver. Even though they both looked different in appearance, Emma couldn't help but recognize the same facial features. They had the same jawline… nose… but the most obvious similarity was their exact same eye color which was a pale and mesmerizing blue. The two had to be related in some way. Emma was guessing that they must've been siblings or cousins at the very least.

"Who are they?" Emma asked as she continued to look over the pictures.

"The Maximoff twins." So Emma was right. They were related and twins at that. "They were found at the Hydra base in Sokovia. Cap says that they're enhanced… the brother, Pietro Maximoff, apparently has increased metabolism and improved thermal homeostasis. The sister, Wanda Maximoff, has neuroelectric interfacing, telekinesis, and mental manipulation." Emma's looked up at Maria with a look that was a mixture of both shock and uneasiness.

"Wait… so he can run really fast and she can do mind control." The guy didn't cause Emma to feel as frightened but the powers that the girl had… well, those could be really dangerous.

"Essentially, yes." Maria told her but Emma shook her head.

"Wait… why are you telling me this? What does this have to do with me? I mean… besides the fact that they were in a Hydra base." Emma questioned and Maria had a solemn look on her face.

"Strucker was experimenting with them." That really surprised Emma. She looked back at the pictures of the twins before returning her gaze to Maria. Strucker had been experimenting with them? Wait… that didn't make sense. What Strucker did with her was probably amazing from a scientific point of view but the serum that she was injected with was the last of it's kind. Even if it wasn't the last one it didn't explain the powers that the twins had. The most mind boggling thing that Emma could do was fly and that had shocked many of the others when she displayed those abilities from time to time. Mostly it occurred when she was trying to reach for something that was too high for her. One time when she flew up and grabbed the poptarts from the top shelf, she had almost given Clint a heart attack.

"How? The serum he used on me was the last one and I can't even do any of the stuff that they do." Emma said. "I mean the only thing that I can do that might match up to these twins is flying and that's not even half as weird as super speed or telekinesis."

"We believe that Strucker was using Loki's sceptor to experiment on them." Maria admitted and Emma stared at the dark haired woman as she took in that information. Loki's sceptor must've really been that powerful if Strucker was able to change someone's genetic make-up and give them weird super powers. Maybe it was good that they had gotten the sceptor back before it could do anymore damage. She didn't understand the need for Steve and the others to continously hunt down the sceptor with almost pure desperation and obsession but now she did. In the wrong hands that sceptor could be very dangerous. It was only a bit disappointing that it was sort of late since the twins already had very dangrous powers.

"I thought that you might recognize or know the twins since you were all under Hydra's control at one point in time." Maria said before breaking Emma out of her train of thought. She carefully glanced back at the pictures of the twins and tried to find something recognizable in their faces. It took her a moment before she decided that she had never met them in her life. She didn't even think that they might've crossed paths at any point.

"I'm sorry, Maria, but I don't think I've ever met them." Emma told her honestly although Maria looked quite disappointed at that. "They were being held at the Hydra base in Sokovia and I'm not sure that I ever spent anytime at that Hydra base. Even if I had I wouldn't have been there for many years and it says here that they volunteered to be experimented on in early 2014. I was probably already at the base in Argentina by then." Maria nodded as she took in the information that Emma had given her.

"I understand." She replied. "Thanks for the help anyways." There was a brief period of silence as Emma worked up the nerve to ask the question that was bothering her quite a bit.

"Did they come with the others?" Emma asked quietly. She wanted to know whether or not the Avengers had been able to get the twins to come with them or if they had at least captured them. Those two could be very dangerous on the loose. Even with all of Emma's training and enhanced abilities she wasn't sure if she could apprehend even one of them if the occasion called for it. The abilities that the twins had really were something else. Maria nodded sadly.

"I'm afraid not, Emma. They managed to escape before we even had the chance." Maria told her and Emma felt her throat grow dry. This meant that those two were loose somewhere out there and it wasn't likely that they would just go into hiding for the rest of their lives. No, Emma was sure that this wouldn't be the last time they would be hearing about the twins.

"Okay." Emma said, not knowing what else there really was to say. Emma secretly wondered what would cause the twins to want to volunteer to be experimented on. She didn't even have a choice so Emma couldn't begin to comprehend what would cause a person to willingly submit to that kind of torture. There had to be more to their story, Emma knew that wanting to have super powers wasn't their motive. It was never that simple.

"I'm about to go wait for the others on the landing pad with Dr. Cho." Maria told her, immediately changing the subject. "You're welcomed to join me. I thought you might like to be a part of the welcome back party for Steve." Emma smiled at that notion but she shook her head.

"No, I think I'll just wait for him here. You probably have some things to discuss with him anyways." Emma told her and Maria just nodded.

"Yes, I'll just send him your way as soon as I'm done debriefing him." Maria said as she got up from the couch. "Thanks again for your help." Emma just shrugged as she reopened the book she had been previously reading.

"I don't think I helped you that much but you're welcome anyways." Maria didn't say anything as she just gave Emma a small smile before walking away. Emma turned her head back to focus on her book but soon found that the task was almost impossible. Her mind kept drifting back to the matter of the twins. How could she focus on her book when those two were still somewhere out there and it was pretty obvious that they weren't friends to the Avengers. Something told Emma that those twins were about to make another appearance in the Avenger's lives and it wouldn't take them long to do so. This certainly wasn't the end of the twins.

"What are you reading?" Emma nearly dropped her book as she heard Steve's voice. She was still amazed at how he was able to sneak up on her. Steve and Natasha were the only ones who were able to do that at all. Clint had come close but Emma always managed to hear him coming much to his annoyance.

"Steve!" Emma exclaimed excitedly. She quickly wrapped her arms around him and he laughed as he returned the gesture. It had taken Emma a long time but she had managed to warm up to Steve so much that she was capable of showing affection towards him. The others she had a hard time acting like that in front of except for maybe Darcy and Sam. Emma liked Natasha a lot but she didn't think that the former spy was much for affection.

"Did you really miss me that much?" Steve asked. She pulled away as she gave him a playful glare but truthfully she was just glad that he was back. Her eyes briefly scanned his face for any visable injuries but she was quite thankful that she hadn't seen any. It appeared that Captain America had once again walked away from a fight without a scratch on him. The super soldier serum seemed to help him there.

"Well, when Maria wouldn't tell me anything during the ongoing battle I did get a little worried." Emma told him before her expression softened. "It kind of sucks sitting up here without any idea as to what's going on. I had no idea if you were hurt… or…" Emma trailed off and Steve just rested his hand upon her shoulder, giving her a kind look.

"I'm fine, Emma. Everyone's fine. I mean… Barton got hit pretty bad but he's going to be okay." Steve told her and Emma nodded.

"I know… Maria told me that part." Emma replied before something else crossed her mind. "She also told me that you got the sceptor."

"Yes, we finally did. At least that's one less thing we have to worry about." Steve said, sounding a bit tired. He was surely exhausted from the battle.

"So Thor will be returning to Asgard with the sceptor?" Emma asked as Steve began to take a seat next to her on the couch.

"In a couple of days I guess. Tony asked him if he could wait until after the party so that he and Bruce could study it." Steve explained and Emma just shook her head.

"I don't why they want to study it." She said. "I know that it's probably for scientific purposes but that sceptor is really more trouble than it's worth. I'd feel a whole lot better if that thing was back on Asgard where it'll be safe from anyone's agenda."

"You and me both." Steve told her. "At least it's over now. There's nothing more to worry about in regards to that sceptor and we can finally focus on capturing Rumlow." Emma uncomfortably shifted in her seat at the mention of Rumlow.

"I wish you'd let me help." Emma said quietly and Steve just shook his head.

"It's not your problem anymore. I'll take care of it… We'll make sure he'll spend the rest of his life in prison for what he did to you and your parents." Emma wanted to say that she didn't want Rumlow to go to prison. She wanted to tell Steve that she wanted to watch Rumlow slowly die as he realized that the very girl he had been training for all those years was the one that was going to end him. Emma wanted to avenge her parents death as well as what Rumlow did to her but she just couldn't get the words out of her mouth. Perhaps she knew that if she told Steve how she really felt that he might take it one step further and hire a shrink or something. Emma had been doing so well with the nightmares. She did have them still from time to time but she didn't wake up every night like she had before. Sam taking her to the VA to talk with Camila had immensely helped her but there was still some things that were more difficult to get over.

"How about that party in a couple of days." Emma suddenly brought up, changing the subject. Emma then gave Steve a smug smirk as something popped inside her mind. "I heard Susan might be there. Apparently Pym Technologies is having some sort of expo in town this week so she might drop by." Emma teased him, causing Steve blush that hilariously bright shade of red.

"I really wish you hadn't told everyone that I'm in love with her." He grumbled and Emma only laughed.

"Come on, Steve, you have to admit that it's funny watching you get all red faced over her." She told him and Steve gave her a playful glare.

"Natasha won't stop giving me shit over it and not to mention Stark keeps giving me the older brother talk." Steve complained. "We only went out for coffee that one time she was in New York and that was over five months ago. She lives in another city for christ's sake." He ranted and Emma just shook her head at him, giving him a disappointed look.

"Wow, Steve, I can't believe you're really using that kind of language around your poor, innocent granddaughter. Have you no shame? You should really listen to your own advice." Emma told him jokingly and Steve gave her a look of disbelief.

"How on Earth have you already heard about that? I've been here for literally five minutes." He said in a flabbergasted tone. Emma just shrugged.

"Word travels fast around here." Emma replied and Steve just rolled his eyes.

"It really does." It was nice that they had been able to slip back into their usual dynamic. Emma only hoped that it would be able to distract her from anymore remaining thoughts she had on the twins or Rumlow. She had a feeling that nothing would truly be over until the twins were in their custody and Rumlow was buried six feet deep in the ground.

"Miss Rogers, Mr. Stark would like to see you in the lab." Jarvis said and Emma lifted her head up from her sketchbook. She had been sketching all afternoon, feeling incredibly inspired, from inside her walk in closet. The walk in closet was really like another room, very spacious with a window that allowed for extra lighting inside the closet. She used it to store her clothing of course but Emma also used it as a make-shift art studio since the lighting was so wonderful. It was the day after the Avengers returned from their successful mission and Emma was seated in one of the comfortable chairs within the closet, sketching a picture of a meadow. She had seen the meadow once before in a dream when she was a child and the image always stuck with her so she decided to put it to paper. Emma gave the ceiling a confused look as she heard Jarvis's voice. What in the world did Stark want with her? There wasn't a lot of times that she had contact with the older man. Only when they were eating dinner or sitting down for movie night but Emma still found him to be incredibly annoying although her annoyance of him had severely decreased since he had given her the sketchbook but she still thought he was annoying. Emma had actually completed that first sketchbook months ago and Stark had since left her a couple of more sketchbooks to fill up. She had to admit it was incredibly kind and thoughtful of him even though she would never admit that aloud.

"What does he want, Jarvis?" Emma asked.

"Mr. Stark would like to see you in the lab." Jarvis repeated and Emma rolled her eyes. Leave it to Stark to create an AI system that could be just as annoying and senseless as he was. She sighed as she set down her sketchbook and pencils before getting up from her seat.

"Fine. Just tell Stark I'll be down there in a couple of minutes." Emma told the AI system as she began to exit her room.

"Of course, Miss Rogers." Jarvis responded and Emma could only glare at the floor as she started making her way down to the lab.

"This better be good." Emma said under her breath. Emma really hated to be interupted during the time she spent sketching and this was a common fact that most of the others knew about her. They knew how moody Emma could be if she was interupted during her "Arts and Crafts" time as they liked to call it. She had only recently been able to get her grandfather back into the world of art. Sometimes they spent the day sketching people or things in central park and Emma had to admit that her grandfather really never forgot how to draw. He was still exceptionally good at it. Emma could also tell it gave him some happiness or peace of mind as he sketched. It began to become more of a common thing that they did together other than reading books.

"Ah, Mini Cap… You're here." Tony announced as soon as she set foot into the lab. Emma looked around the place in wonder. It wasn't often that Stark permitted anyone other than himself and Bruce to be allowed inside the lab. Apparently it was something that Stark had described as being part of the Science Bros code. Emma faintly remembered that it was then that she legitimately thought there was something deeply wrong with Stark. Emma noticed that there was a lot of advanced looking scientific equipment lying about. It immediately made Emma feel uneasy since she was reminded of Hydra and all the labs even though Hydra's lab equipment was nowhere near this advanced.

"What do you want?" Emma questioned as Tony and Bruce stood side by side. Emma honestly didn't mind Bruce that much even though he was a doctor. She still had a strong disregard for doctors and scientists but she had also managed to develop a soft spot for Bruce. He wasn't like many other scientists or at least the ones she knew. He was kind and thoughtful… Natasha also seemed to trust him a lot and that had to mean something.

"Wow, you really get to the point, don't you? No beating around the bush for you." Stark said. "I like that." Emma crossed her arms as she gave Tony a bored look.

"What is it, Stark?" She deadpanned and Tony only grinned at her.

"Okay, I'll get to the point." He responded before gesturing for her to follow him. Emma glanced at Bruce who only shrugged and she did as Tony requested. As Emma followed Tony to the back of the lab, she couldn't help but notice the sceptor as it sat on top of one of the tables. She bit her lip as she took in the errie blow glow around the base of it. She had never seen the sceptor in person but Emma already knew that it immensely creeped her out. The teenager also noticed all the scientific readings that were displayed on the holographic screen and she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"What's going on with the sceptor?" Emma pointed out as she saw a diagram of the sceptor and something else flash onto the screen. Tony looked back at her before glancing over at the screen seeming unconcerned by the sceptor while Bruce just looked nervous. Emma narrowed her eyes suspiciously at Bruce. Why was he so nervous?

"Oh, it's nothing. Just some diagnostics we've been running before Thor takes it back after the party tomorrow." Stark explained with a nonchalant look on his face. She analyzed his facial expression to see if she could detect anything out of the ordinary and she even listened to his heart beat but she couldn't find anything strange about any part of him… no more than usual. Bruce, on the other hand, was a different story. The older man appeared to be sweating profusely and his heart was pounding against his chest. It was no wonder how he hadn't started turning green. Emma stared at the both of them for another moment before she decided to drop it. Bruce always acted a bit skittish but that didn't mean that they were up to anything. These were her friends, weren't they? Why would they be up to anything? Why would they keep it from everyone else?

"Good." Emma finally said, deciding to test the small trickle of doubt that entered her mind. Her instincts rarely ever led her astray. "The sooner that thing's out of here the better. The sceptor wasn't meant for humans to be messing around with. It's far beyond our understanding." Emma stated firmly as she locked eyes with the both of them. Bruce looked away from Emma's intense gaze and seemed to be looking anywhere other than Emma's eyes. Tony's eyes slightly twitched as he heard what Emma told him and Emma knew that those two were definitely up to something. She was wrong before… they were hiding something but Emma had no idea what. She was an expert on trying to decipher lies and this situation was no exception. Not even Stark could fool her. Whatever it was that Stark was hiding she was just going to wait until he let everyone know. It was no secret that Stark wasn't capable of keeping his big mouth shut. Tony cleared his throat awkwardly as he held Emma's gaze.

"Right… Well, the real reason we brought you down here today was in regards to your old Hydra suit." Tony said as he led her to another table in the back. Emma was confused at first, although still suspicious of Tony and Banner's odd behavior, until she saw what Stark had meant. Laying out on the table was her old Hydra catsuit that she hadn't seen in a year. If Emma could remember correctly, she was pretty sure that the Avengers had rescued her from the base when she was wearing that suit. "It's quite the suit. Fully equipped with weapon holsters and of course your daily dose of fatal toxic gas."

"The toxic gas was Dr. List's idea." Emma told them as she glanced over the suit with mild interest. Tony nodded.

"Well, obviously we had to get rid of the toxic gas component of the suit which took us a very long time might I add." Tony told her seriously. "Although Bruce and I had determined that the suit is safe now."

"Wait are you giving me the suit back?" Emma asked in surprise. That certainly wasn't what she had been expecting when first walked down into the lab. Tony and Bruce exchanged looks with each other briefly before looking back at her.

"Well… yes and no." Tony answered which confused Emma. "Yes, we're giving you the suit back but I also have another nice surprise for you." Tony told her as he stooped down to pick up a heftly looking metallic suitcase before setting it on the table. Tony quickly typed a code into the side of the case before it popped open revealing something that completely blew Emma's mind. Inside the suitcase was none other than a very similar looking catsuit to the one she had. Only this catsuit appeared to be the new and improved version. Instead of a black color, the suit appeared to be displaying a very dark, forest green color. It was spandex just like the last one but it appeared to be more form fitting as well as having a little utility belt around the waistline. Emma could pick out little devices in the utility suit which she didn't think she was even capable of deciphering what they were at this point. Emma saw an intricate looking, vibrant green device around the wrist of her suit. Tony must've noticed what had captured her attention because he started to explain the intriguing device to her at once.

"That's your Viper Bites as I believe you call them." Emma gave him a confused look at his explaination.

"It's the same toxic gas?" Emma asked, surprised that Tony would put that same toxic gas into another suit. He shrugged.

"Not entirely… The other one was fatal so I thought it might be a good idea to make this one less so. It'll only knock out your enemies." Emma raised an eyebrow at that.

"For how long?"

"Three hours tops." Bruce answered and Emma glanced back at him curiously. She had almost forgotten that he was there. "I uh… I made it." She nodded solemnly and returned her attention back to the suit. Emma also noticed a strange looking green mask that seemed to match the color of her suit. The mask looked similar to one that could be seen at a masquerade ball seeing as it would only probably cover up half of her face.

"Do you like that?" Tony asked excitedly as he saw her become interested in the mask. "Why don't you try it on?" Emma glanced between him and the mask hesitantly before she decided to give into her curiosity and try on the mask. She slipped it over her face and was surprised at how it was easily able to latch it's way onto her face and stay put. Emma had originally thought it was a simple mask before she saw two red lenses flash in front of her eyes. The teenager blinked as something entirely different filled her vision. The vivid color of blue filled her line of sight before she saw two distinct shapes that were colored in bright hues of red, orange, and yellow. She was seeing in thermal heat vision, she soon realized. The two shapes she was seeing were actually Tony and Bruce. It was kind of like how a snake saw things, wasn't it? She knew that snakes caused sense infrared heat but this was amazing.

"This is amazing." Emma said in awe as she looked around the room with new eyes.

"Isn't it?" Tony told her. "You can actually don't even need to switch to night vision because of that. I've also installed enhanced hearing too but I don't think you would really need that. There's a GPS system, information data base, facetiming capabilties…and I even installed you're very own AI system."

"Really?" Emma asked in surprise.

"Hello, Miss Rogers." A very male and American sounding voice said out of seemingly nowhere. The voice actually sounded very Southern to Emma's ears which confused her. Emma looked around the room until she realized that it had been coming from within her mask the whole time.

"Um… hi?" Emma then turned towards where Tony and Bruce were. "Why does the voice sound like Matthew McConaughey?"

"Well, you're a Southern Belle technically, aren't you?" Tony said with an arrogance to his tone. "I thought it was very fitting."

"I am the AI system that Mr. Stark designed for your Viper Mark I suit." Emma nodded even though the AI system probably didn't understand what that meant.

"Right. And what did you say your name was again?" Emma questioned.

"I didn't. Mr. Stark hasn't given me a name yet but you're more than welcome to name me yourself." The AI system told her. Emma was a bit taken back by that but was kind of delighted that she was going to someone… or something. It was almost like having a pet or something. A pet that was a highly advanced computer.

"Okay, let me think for a second." Emma told the AI system as she began thinking up names. What could she name him? A part of her wanted to name the AI system after her father but something told Emma that her father wouldn't appreciate having a robot named after him. No, she would have to think of something else. It took Emma a moment as her mind combed through different names. First book characters then musicians and even movie characters until one name stood out against the rest. It was pretty obvious to her from the beginning as to what she would name the AI system and this name really was perfect for him seeing as just who he sounded like. Emma smiled because she knew that she had found the perfect name for the AI system. "I think I got it. How about McConaughey? As in Matthew McConaughey." Emma told the AI system excitedly. Since the Avengers started having movie nights Emma had become immensely familiar with different films and even some involving the famous Texan actor that she liked for some weird reason. Natasha told her that she had a crush on him but Emma didn't want to admit that. A favorite film that Emma liked of Matthew McConaughey was the film Interstellar. So really McConaughey was the perfect name for the AI system that sounded alarmingly like the famous actor.

"McConaughey it is then, Miss Rogers." McConaughey told her.

"Did you copy Matthew McConaughey's voice for this AI system, Stark?" Emma demanded to know and she could practically feel the smirk on Tony's face as he looked at her.

"I may have taken it from a selection of movies. I know how much you love the guy." Emma glared at him from behind the mask.

"Love is for children." Emma grumbled, copying the famous phrase that Natasha coined.

"Would you like me to play the track 'Ziggy Stardust' off of David Bowie's 1972 album 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars'?" McConaughey asked suddenly, causing Emma to look away from Tony. "I noticed that it's one of your most played songs on iTunes. I am fully able to sync this device to your iTunes library." Emma was in a bit of awe from what McConaughey just told her.

"Really? You can?" Emma asked.

"Of course, Miss Rogers." McConaughey confirmed.

"Then do it." Emma told him and it didn't take long before the song 'Ziggy Stardust' began blasting through the room. Emma decided that she really loved this new and improved version of her suit. She then took off the mask and looked at Tony and Bruce in amazement. Tony looked quite pleased with himself at Emma's reaction while Bruce just looked a little shy.

"I take it all back. This is amazing." She told them before something dawned on her as 'Ziggy Stardust' continued to be played in background. There was no way Steve would let her have this suit let alone for her to ever have to use it. Her smile faded as she thought more along the lines of what Steve would say if he knew that Tony had made this suit for her. "Steve will never let me have this suit let alone use it." She told them but Tony didn't look bothered by Emma's statement.

"I'll have a talk with Cap." Tony told her, not seeming worried in the least bit. "He's just being an overprotective old man. He's bound to let you get back into the field eventually. Once we capture Rumlow, he'll probably be a lot more laid back."

"Still… I don't really ever see him letting me get back into the action." Emma said.

"Let me handle that, Mini Cap. Maybe I'll even bribe him with Susan." He added with a huge smirk on his face. Emma just shook her head and rolled her eyes at him.

"What? You're just going to pawn Susan off on him? I'm sure she'd be absolutely thrilled to hear that." Emma said sarcastically but Tony didn't look fazed.

"Something tells me that she'd be more than thrilled about that." Tony said suggestively as he waggled his eyebrows. Emma wrinkled her nose in disgust before stepping away from him. She set the mask back in the suitcase.

"I'm leaving now… you're absolutely disgusting. I don't know how Bruce puts up with you." Emma told him much to Tony's amusement.

"I sometimes wonder about that myself." Bruce responded.

"Wait! Don't forget to take your lame Hydra costume, Mini Cap. We don't want that thing in here decreasing the awesomeness of our lab." Tony told her as he threw the old suit at her. Emma caught it easily but didn't cease giving Tony a dirty look. She started walking away from the both of them but paused to glance over her shoulder to see that both Tony and Bruce had resumed doing whatever they had been doing before she walked into the lab. She narrowed her eyes at the both of them. Yup, they were definitely up to something.
