Hallo my dear readers,

I hope you are doing fine. I don't know if you have already seen the youtube video called: Buffy vs. Edward:Twilight Remixed-[original version] but I highly recommend watching it as it perfectly brings out Edward's creepy tendencies and it is funny to watch because Edward would have never been able to ensnare Buffy! :-D


Barton groaned. This encounter would only bring him huge paperwork to fill out and an intern investigation of how this man had found them so easily.

"Three guesses young one! What appears small, has an ego bigger than the whole galaxy and leaves back a red and golden streak while flying?"

Could it really be him! She had lived in Forks and never really been interested in celebrities but she had watched his inventions with interest. Once or twice she had also commented on his company's blog and made suggestions. Once he even had personally responded to her review! She knew that Elizabeth her uncle's estranged sister had chosen a different career path and had gone into science and was one of the leading scientists in his huge company. Unfortunately she had not much contact with her but she remembered her as a very nice and extremely bright woman.

One time she had visited New York. Nana Coulson had not been able to take her with her to an appointment and Elizabeth had jumped in and had taken her shopping for books in the Rizzoli Book Store. The whole store had been huge and intimidating with a high artistic ceilings and dark brown mahogany shelves. She had found so much she was interested in and Elizabeth who had several times insisted to call her aunt was seemingly happy to for seeing the bookish joy in her. They had left the store with several heavy shopping bags full of books which had caused Renee to do a double take. "New York. The city full of clothes stores and you come home with books!"

"What is wrong with my clothes?" she had asked obliviously and Renee had joked:"Well with the right clothes you could attract some nerd who could invent the next lifesaving stuff for this world."

Elizabeth had only sourly replied:"Where is your female pride? With these books she won't need a nerd to attract, but she will be the one making the life saving invention."

"Iron Man? Is this Tony Stark aka Iron Man speeding towards us?" Bella asked giddy with a huge toothy grin on her face! Why are these two not happy?

"Yes, the one and only." Barton answered with clenched teeth. "The agency does not like him so much as he has the tendency to hack us. This results in a vicious circle of changing of protocol and so on and so forth."

"Ah Legolas! Admit it. You are secretly pleased to see me!" came the smooth voice of none other than Tony Stark over their com.

"Sir, he has overwritten our com signals." the pilot redundantly informed them.

What? While flying? Bella wondered.

"What do you want tin can?" Barton asked annoyed in his com.

"You are flying right in a trap. The coordinates you received for changing vehicles is surrounded by pale people without any body temperature and who seem to be waiting for something or should I say someone?" the smug voice in their com said. All of a sudden the red streak appeared right beside them, beside the ripped off door and a red and golden figure landed in their helicopter in lightening speed startling everyone in the confined space.

"Hey, there! For some reason they know where you planned the change so…"

"You think there is a leak?" Bella interrupted his speaking flow.

"Yes, la abbastanza Bella! That is exactly what I am saying!" The metal man answered with a mock bow.

"According to your cute little database they have powers and your itty little agents are not immune to them as this little one here is."

"I'm not little!" Bella exclaimed! "So what's the plan?" she wanted to know as Barton was already trying to reach his superior.

"This is the plan!" the man in the red suit stated, put two silver metal rings on her wrists, opened her seat belt and jumped out of the helicopter with a shocked Bella in tow, completely disregarding a heavily shouting Barton.

"Are you barking mad!" she exclaimed terrified! "I'm going to die!"

"No! You are not! My emergency suit is programmed to follow me and copy exactly what I do. So I will take you to safety first and then we need to have a little chat about your constant hacking into my system!"

"Uops!" was the only thing Iron man could hear from the girl hanging in the air underneath him. I am so busted!

"Ok! Watch out here it comes! Stretch your arms and let the suit do the work!" he ordered her and was pleasantly surprised as she did exactly that and marvelled at his invention. "You should be honoured! Not many are allowed to use my personal suits."

"Where are we going?" she asked him as she followed him with her own grey suit. "Not telling, little one!" I swear if he calls me little one again,…!

"Well, How did you do in your finals?" the chuckling man said. What?! He was that?!

"Why don't you tell me?" came the annoyed retort. "You better be not responsible for all the additional subjects!"

"Ha! Of course I was! It was payback for your unexpected hacking! You gave my quite a heart attack! Do you have any idea how long it took me to recalibrate Jarvis!" he shouted in their shared com. "27 hours 3 minutes and 32 seconds of hell!"

But the only response was a heavily snickering Bella who could not help but feeling proud at her accomplishment for stalling the probably most intelligent man on the planet.

"Your own mistake!" she answered grinning. "You told the media that the person able to hack you're AI gets an internship in your company and I was in panic mode because I haven't spent enough time on my studies for my finals."

"So you hacked my poor Jarvis instead! How could you do this? Attacking a poor defenceless AI! I cannot go down my lab again without being afraid of the horrifific songs you let him sing every time I opened a file. Jarvis has no singing voice!" More snickering! I don't believe it!

"In infinity loop!" he exclaimed shuddering at the memory!

"When I dance they call me Macarena and the boys say that I am Buena,…" he heard the girl sing teasingly and he groaned. "Stop! That song on infinity loop is torture! Then I have finally managed to stop that infernal song and you had a backup installed. I can never see a normal bird again! The birdie song! Where did you get that idea from? Dr. Who? Everywhere I went! In my shower! Opening my fridge and even on my cell phone!"

"You connected your every life item to your AI. Not my mistake, but I would have loved to see your face personally!" he heard her snickering. "I hope Jarvis recorded it!" Oh No! Well, the internship is hers but only AFTER I find out how she did it and how I can stop her snickering. She is worse than Eli!

"How fast are we going?" Bella enquired curiously.

"Faster than light speed of course! Kid!" she heard the entrepreneur say in a very serious tone.

"Right Solo. I don't see us going back in time. How fast are we really going!

"Alright! Know it all! A little bit faster than the fastest jet. Get ready." he remarked.

"That still doesn't answer my question! Wait. Ready for what?" she shot back but could not say anything else as she shot head down to the ground, mimicking what the red suit in front of her was doing and thanks to her guide she landed safely on a platform which started removing her suit.

"Ok. That is not Stark Tower." she remarked curiously looking around. It was a manor with a high ceiling, about 3m she guessed; perfectly white walls and light brown parquet flooring. Bella, almost slipping on the floor, thought that she could detect traces of European Renaissance influence.

"Correct! It's not but it belongs to me now through three different dummy corporations so it cannot be traced back to me. Was one of my dad's countless private dollhouses." the cocky man next to her stated. "Six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, rooftop terrace and a library with a sufficient amount of first editions."

"Dollhouse?" Bella wanted to confirm if it really meant what she believed that it meant. "He called it entertaining, but his records confirm that Peggy Carter also stayed here with her friend Montinelli for some time after she has cleared his name. But she was one of the very few who resisted his charm!"

"Montinelly?" She knew only about one person with that name. As far as she knew she had been Nana's best friend and tie to the normal world. "Nana probably kicked his ass a few times" Bella murmured under her breath, hearing the famous man next to her chuckle.

All of a sudden he opened two double doors with glass and a glass bow above it and stepped in a huge room. It was of oval shape, had lamps in forms of candles and paintings on the wall, three huge windows with big violet curtains, several sitting arrangements made of black mahogany and brown mahogany. But the most impressive thing was the light which came from one big oval lamp on the ceiling which was stretching around the whole room.

"Close your mouth kid or you'll catch a flying bug." Tony joked indicating her to take a seat across from him on one of the big cosy armchairs close to the window.

"So know that we are here in my quaint home you will talk me through how exactly you broke down my firewall and reprogrammed Jarvis. I assume it will take some time until they find out that I have played your little friends at S.H.I.E.L.D. and some more time to find out where I have taken you."

"I think they will surprise you. Mr. Stark." Bella grinned confidently staring directly into Tony Starks eyes. She wanted to try one mind trick Natasha had told her. Maybe she could unsettle Stark a bit more. This practice could be fun and she wanted to avoid the subject of her hacking a bit longer.

"Do you really think that they have no way of tracking me? They are spies and have to know exactly where their persons of interest are at any given moment. I know for certain that they are already on their way here." To emphasize her point Bella leaned back relaxed in her chair. The man opposite to her seemed unfazed by her and just shrugged his shoulders pulling out a device which had the size of a smart phone but was completely made of glass. At least it looked like glass. Looking at her he said.

"Nice bluff there. Nearly believed you pulling a Romanov. A little word of advice: Never play poker, your heart jumps when you are being dishonest. Plus, there are no tracking devices on your person. So talk!" Ah! Damn! Worth a try.

"Well, you know the saying. A magician never reveals his secrets." she began but at receiving his murderous look she knew that she should not play this game further because this man sitting opposite her was probably a dangerous opponent. Tony on the other hand loved how nervous the girl sitting opposite to him suddenly became at his "murderous" expression. She was really too easy. He had to restrain himself to not start laughing. He was not really angry at her but she had started this game of deception and he simply had more experience in it. It was also clear to him that Romanov had something to do in her training to be an agent, but Bella seemed more like a mischievous scientist than a badass agent and he had not forgotten her comment on one of his inventions.

"Ok. I hope you have something to write because it's complicated what I did. Ok. Here we go."


"What do you mean she shot you?" Esme asked her son who was angrily rearranging the furniture in their house.

"This Agent Barton has tossed her a gun and she shot at me. The bullets were a nuisance, but didn't hurt. But this was not the worst." he screamed.

"Yeah! You got shot by a bazooka. That's worse!" Emmet snickered at Esmes' horrified facial expression.

"No! She hates me! She was angry at me! They have done something to her. I know it." Edward raged.

"Unfortunately, I have to agree." Alice cut in. "She was fit and strong. And I mean really fit. She ran up those stairs without needing to catch her breath."

"They certainly were well prepared. There were several different people on different schools posing as Bella. The bodyguards were not typical military personal. They were highly specialized."

"I couldn't get a read of their minds, because they were constantly reciting the alphabet or citing a song. What if Bella told them about our powers." Edward told them.

"Well you and your family failed spectacularly to obtain the girl. Carlisle." a sickly sweet voice interrupted them. "The Volturi will take it upon them to catch the nuisance. In the mean time you are hereby ordered to come and stay in Voltera."

"You mean we will be prisoners!" Carlisle almost spat. "You will be our … guests. Tell me Carlisle:" Jane asked stepping towards the pale leader of the Cullens."How did you know which school to pick?"

Carlisle gulped and answered. "The old female we have seen at Bella's house was familiar to me, but I didn't know why at that time. At home I did some research and found out why she was so familiar. When I stayed in New York after WWII, I came across a female agent of the SSR who was investigating a suspicious murder. A murder committed by a vampire. She was the most curious and unusual female person I have ever encountered. She did not believe me what I have told her and did not let go of the case until she was thankfully assigned a bigger case. Now that I think back on it I believe she was very far ahead of her time."

"Get to the point!" Jane snarled impatiently.

"I am trying to, Jane." he hastily defended himself. "She had the same ability at the Swan house than Bella and I deduced that she could in fact be related to Bella somehow. So I called my personal detective and he found out that her two children went to the school we went to retrieve Bella. Although Edward had heard that agent think that they would meet her in Phoenix I assumed that this could have been a misinformation"

"Mh? How is she related to your pet?" Jane wanted to know rubbing her chin pensively.

"We do not know! Charlie and Rene are neither of her children. So she could be adopted, which is quite unlikely as they must have been very young when they would have adopted her. Or they are loosely related. Agent Carter had a brother in England who died in the war. Perhaps he had illegitimate children."

"Good! We will use this to our advantage." Jane smiled evilly.

"How?"

"Get some brains Cullens!" Jane snapped. "We will use the old hag to draw the girl out."


"Stark has obviously lied to you. Barton. The satellite feed does not show any signs of vampire activity and never did." an angry looking Fury informed his annoyed agent.

"But why has he taken her then. Could a Vampire use him to get to the kid?" he reflected. But the Iron man had seemed like himself.

"It is possible, but I think it could be about our young swan's hobby." his boss told him.

"What? Like dating crazy vamps?" wouldn't be surprised if Stark was one. He does seem to be stuck in his junkyard of a laboratory all the time and only comes out at night for dating women.

"No. Hacking. Our protocols of the Nevada facility showed intense hacking of his company, right after Starks big speech that absolutely nothing can penetrate his company's firewalls and that anyone who manages it will get an internship."

Barton crackled with laughter. This is practically an invite Bella would not have been able to resist.

"Did she manage it?" he wanted to know only to get a grinning nod from his superior. She had clearly impressed the director again and it practically never happened that Fury showed any signs of approval.

Barton, still cracking with laughter said: "We have to get her back from Stark before Coulson finds out that he has nicked her, otherwise …"

"Otherwise what?" the calm voice of none other than Agent Phil Coulson swept over to them from the entrance.


"Good evening, Heimdall" the beautiful queen of Asgard greeted her gatekeeper.

"Good evening, your majesty" the tall strong guard with the ever watchful eye and golden armour basked in the dying sun answered. "I have still not been able to make out your son Loki."

"I do not believe that he is dead. He is lost." she told her guard. Every day since Loki had let go of her husband's staff she had come here in hope that Heimdall would have glimpsed him. Thor and the All-father had insisted that Loki was dead, but even though she was not his birth mother she had always had a strong connection to her adoptive son. He was natural at magic and being physically weaker than Thor she had found out at an early age that he was very intelligent and patient at learning magic. Being taunted by other Asgardians about his distaste of taking pleasure in fighting she had seen no other choice as to take him under her wing. He had always been different but she loved him just as much as Thor. She had often consulates him when the All-father had preferred his son Thor to Loki by saying:

"Love is the only thing that never gets less by dividing it among more people." She even remembered the heated discussions during the rare family dinners. Thor had constantly reminded his younger brother that he was fighting without honour, while Loki had argued his point that honour was a poor excuse for death in battle. He would rather fight covertly to stay alive then fight bravely, which he often called foolishly, and die in battle.

"Something is not right in Midgard, my Lady." he informed his queen.

"What do you mean?" she enquired. Thor loved Midgard and especially the mortal called Jane but they had always believed that the Midgardians where still very primitive. What had surprised her after Thor's return was that the All-father had repeatedly sent one of his loyal ravens to a small place called Forks to investigate something, at the suggestion of their gatekeeper.

"White deadly creatures are hunting for a mortal girl because they have something terrible planned for her. She has nearly escaped them once again, but the Man in Iron is interrogating her now. I do not know how often she will be able to evade them again as their three leaders are assembling their best and deadliest trackers at the moment." he answered gravely.

"Do you know why they are after her? I mean why her specifically and why is the man in iron interrogating her?" the queen's interest was piqued. Who is the girl? Man in iron?

"It seems that she is immune to almost all of their powers and the man in iron is questioning her about a harmless prank she has played on him." the gatekeeper told her with a grinning face. It seemed that Heimdall had quite enjoyed what he had seen.

"They have powers? Magic powers? In Midgard?" Sensing within her magic that the Norns had somehow intertwined the mortal girl's destiny with Asgard she needed to know more. "Tell me Heimdall, what they are planning with the girl!"
