Meet Savannah. Tony starks and Pepper Pots Daughter. Her two uncles are Clint, and Banner. One is a super advanced scientist, and the other is one of the few owners of a very large archery industry. Her best friends are Peter Parker, Yelena Romanoff, Natasha Romanoff, and Bucky. Her boyfriend is a boy named Tyler, he's annoying to most people. Savannah goes by her middle name to some people, only the close ones ever call her savannah.
There are more friends and family members but I'd rather not go into all the details just yet.
Chapter 1
"Ok, is everyone ready for drop down?" Tony whispers over the coms.
I look over to Yelena (code name: blondie), Natasha (code name: black widow), and Bucky (code name: winter).
They all got their names in different ways. Bucky is called winter because when we first started training, he somehow was about to stand outside in the cold with no thermal and could train all day without a single goosebump. Natasha is called black widow because in our first course of poisons, and drugs, Natasha was always first place in the competitions and she could make really lethal poisons.. Yelena is Blondie because everyone thinks she's just a dumb blonde. But trust me, there is no way in hell that she could be dumb. Also she will only ever dye her hair another shade of blonde or blue. My code name is Cruise. It's my middle name and I go by it. I'm happy because it's easy for me to change, just go by Savannah, or Cruise, or even Stark. I could go by any of those names.
"Yes sir." I call as soon as my friends plus a few other trainees who were not a part of the friend group, all give me the nod. This is what we've been training for our whole lives. The course. Obviously my dad couldn't come up with a better name for it. Ugh typical.
The course is basically an assassin obstacle course. Your team is separated so you have to go through,alone, be in stealth mode, if you're not, you either fail if it's really bad or just a random dummy robot comes out to fight you. Then at the end you have to work as a team to beat one of the assassins that my father has chosen to get our pendants. Then we pass.
I dropped down as soon as the lights all turned off. That meant that it was time. I walked past many doors, and looked for things to use. There were always hidden weapons somewhere to help beat the assassin waiting for us. Luckily I triggered no alarms for a while. But I couldn't say the same for the others. You could hear alarms go off sometimes that we had to disable. Or you could hear fighting. There was only one girl who didn't pass in the five minutes that i was looking around. The helicopter flew up into the air and beamed its light on her. Then she was pulled out of the game. That's when I triggered one of the really bad alarms. Great just my luck to be put in this area of obstacles. Oh wait, probably wasn't luck since my dad had promised to make it harder on me to show no favoritism.
Immediately after stepping on one of the stones, five of my dad's robots flew at me. Too bad for them. The first one that came at me tried punching me but I ducked and kicked its head off. Then the other four came at me. They tried tying me up because somehow they had a rope, but I got a hold of one of the ends and tied one of the robots up. While it tried to fly away, I used its weight against it and swung it around to hit the other three robots. After a minute they all powered down.
'Ha, take that dad.' I thought.
Soon I got on the ground and started checking for weapons that the robots had. Sadly it was just a rope, but I did manage to rip off one of the hands to use as a blaster. Then I began checking doors again.
"Ah!" Bucky yelled as he ran to me and hugged me. "There you are, I've literally been trying to find our team."
"Hond on just a second." I pulled out the blast gun. "Tell me something only you would know."
"In the second grade we had a sleepover and you accidentally peed your pants because of a really scary movie, and you begged for me to not tell your…" Bucky tried to continue but I stopped him.
"Ok that's enough. My dad can hear us, you know." I pointed at the camera before I took it out.
For a while we talked. We did come across another trap, but it was easy to defeat the robots and disable the alarm with the two of us now.
"So how did you end up with a blaster? I have to admit, it's pretty cool that you know how to wire that shit up." Bucky complimented while testing the blaster.
"Well, guess who ended up in the most dangerous area of the course. Lucky me. The first obstacle I had to do was fight off five of my dad's robots." I rolled my eyes. "Oh my god of course!" I exclaimed and picked up a coin off the ground before Bucky could respond. "That's why we haven't found any weapons. This year they added the coins so then you can only buy weapons when you're about to enter the final part of the course." Bucky nodded and we kept walking.
We ended up in eight other traps and finding a lot more money before finally finding Natasha and Yelena.
"Why am I not surprised that your dad put you in the danger zone? Wow, I think he's going harder on you than on your step brother." Yelena commented.
"Yeah, well, luckily me and Bucky teamed up. Now have you guys gotten any money? Bucky and I figured out that this year they are making us find money to pay for weapons." Both Natasha and Yelena pulled out a few hundred dollar bills.
"Ok so combine your money with ours," Bucky started doing the math. "We have about $5,000. So," Bucky looked up at the store and the prices for everything. "We can buy Yelena one of those training sticks, me a shield, and Natasha a bag of poison."
"But what about Cruise?" Natasha asked.
"One thing that's great about being a Stark and being in the danger zone, you fight a lot of robots and rewire their blasters." I pulled out the blaster.
"Damn you're a badass Cruise." Yelena and Natasha laughed while I flipped my curled hair over my shoulder.
We purchased our stuff and found out that there were only four of us left.
"Who's ready to kick ass?" I asked before we walked through the gate.
"Come on Cruise. We've been training for this moment our whole lives. We got this." Bucky laughed.
As we walked in, there was something different. There wasn't just one, but two assassins. What was going on? Oh well, four against two. The first guy was probably around six foot six and very muscular. And well, let's just say the other guy was way less impressive.
"Ok it is eleven twenty pm. Let's time this." Yelena clicked a button on her watch before getting into position.
Suddenly the figures disappeared. Many people started filling the dome we were in and started partying. My group and I tried to find each other, I kept yelling their names for a while. Then I had to accept I was on my own.
I think about a way to either get to my friends, or the assassins. A movement to my right brings me out of my thoughts. A black figure is staring right at me. I can see their eyes and there's something familiar about them, but the rest of their body is black in the outfit. Freaky. While I was standing there like an idiot, the figure ran up a pair of stairs, I followed quickly behind before falling behind.
Once I made it all the way up the several staircases, I was facing a long dark hallway and staring into the eyes of another dark figure hanging upside down. Well, now I know the identity of one of the assassins.
He flipped over and stood in his fighting stance, waiting for me to make a move. I knew better. I quickly moved to the wall and ran for a flip. Once I made it I was behind him and swiped his legs out from under him.
"Wow, for supposedly being the best assassin trained, you kinda suck." I said.
But before I knew it, he did the same things that I had just done to him and was quickly on top of me before I could say another word. We struggled for a bit and kept going at each other, trying to catch each other off guard until he thought he had won when I accidentally slipped.
"Huh, what were you saying? I didn't hear you." He replied snarkily.
I pulled out the blaster and before I used it said, "You suck." then blasted him right in the chest. "Oh, and don't worry, I put the setting on stun. A helicopter or some shit will probably be here soon to pick you up." I patted his head.
After about five minutes of searching for my team and the other figure, I found them in a locked room. I had to knock down the door.
They were all there. Fighting this guy who I couldn't figure out who he or she was, he was shorter than the other assassin, and not as fast, but he was definitely powerful.
"Finally! We've been fighting him for like ten minutes! Where were you?!" Bucky yelled over the music blasting from the other rooms.
"Let's just say that we don't need to worry about the other guy." I yelled as I jumped in to help fight.
We all fought for a while, but this guy just kept coming back for more. Finally we had had enough. Yelena's eyes had a raging fire in them that I had never seen before. We used our blaster, he'd dodge, we'd try and have one of us sneak behind him, but he was a step ahead of us. Finally both Bucky and I were able to sweep both of his legs out from under him and pinned him down with our sticks that Natasha had found.
"Ok, Ok, chill you guys win." The male said.
"Ha, not falling for that." And Natasha handed me the cuffs and I slapped them on this man. "Now, who are you?" Yelena pulled off the hood and mask.
"Ugh we should have known." Bucky turned away from the assassin. "Sup mr. Stark, how was it getting your but kicked by all of us? Especially your own daughter."
"Ha, well, I don't know, did you take care of the other person?" Tony asked.
"Well, I should speak for myself." The other assassin pulled his hood and mask off. "Yeah, she kicks ass." Peter put his arm around me. "Major moves little sis. Well, adoptive little sis."
"Hey! You're the one who's adopted. But still I'm your little sis." We all laughed before the helicopter came and picked us up.
Once we were back at my house, all of my friends got to pick their new rooms.
"Since your team finished faster and better than all of my past teams, we have a special wing for you." My mom, Pepper, walked us up to the forbidden west wing.
"Wow, we've like almost never seen your house." Yelena said while looking around.
"Yeah dude, it's like a castle." Bucky yelled, hearing his echo.
"Well, if you didn't look out the window much, we're in the mountains, and yes it's a castle, for real." I shrugged.
I was used to it by now, all of our houses were either mansions or castles. The mansions were mainly for my family, hosting parties, and just going on vacation. The castles were for the special recruits, hideouts, safe houses, and special deals. Especially since the castles were all in the mountains or enclosed areas. My mother was in front of us and was showing my friends all of the rooms and giving us a schedule already.
"We'll also be contacting your past guardians or mission leaders to move in all of your things. We also bought a lot of things from your wish lists and moved them into your rooms." Pepper said. "Oh and honey," She started, turning to me. "Do you want a room in the west wing with your friends that's special for the best trained assassins, or do you want your old room in the east wing?"
"I'll take my new room, here in the west wing. I would like to be treated the same way as my friends." I replied.
"Of course, that's why I already took the liberty in moving your things into this room." My old friend said, coming out of the shadows.
"Happy!" I ran up to him and hugged him. "Ahem, everyone, this is my uncle, and butler, Happy."
"Ha, Butler in a mafia's house. What's he gonna do? Burn us with tea?" Bucky asked snarkily.
"Don't," I started but Happy backed me up.
"Don't worry I got this." He looked at Bucky. "What are you, 12"
"Actually, I'm 18."
"Wow, little baby adult. Well," Happy moved quickly and flipped Bucky over on his back. "I'll do a lot more to you than just burn you with some tea if you don't keep the attitude down."
"Yes sir." Bucky groaned.
"Now, might I show you lovely ladies to your own personal rooms?"
"Oh my god yes!" Natasha yelled.
Ever since we started training, we had to share a room with our squad. It was not pleasant. But luckily the boys would fall behind and then boom, one less boy to worry about. But Bucky was the worst. Always leaving the room a mess, leaving the dirty laundry out, not covering up around us girls. Like hey, put on some pants please.
"Yelena and Natasha, You have adjoining bedrooms, there's a door connecting them so you guys can hang out if you want." Happy said.
Yelena's room was a very light pink that had a king sized bed with these puffy hanging mum lights hanging above it. Then to the side was a dest/mirror for makeup. On the other side it had a normal desk and a door leading to the bathroom and walk-in closet. Across the bed was a large dresser light thing with all of Yelena's specialty weapons and the door to Natasha's room. But we all started laughing when we looked in the bathroom because surprise, surprise, there was a whole shelf of blonde and blue hair dye.
Natasha's room was a very dark gray that was almost Black. There were shelves above her desk just full of chemicals and things to make poisons and drugs. She also had a desk/mirror that had a lot of makeup on it that was labeled poison, or weapons to wear. For her bed, she had a king sized bed but above it, there were the princess style see through curtains with little mini lights all around them. Next to the bed there was the door that led to Yelena's room and on the other side of the bed was the door to the Bathroom and walk-in closet.
Next was Bucky's room. He had a King sized bed. The room was very white with Blue LED lights going around the room's ceiling. On the side of the room with the bed, on the left side, there was a dresser full of weapons and shields, and a punching bag, plus a very large window overlooking the training course. On the right side closest to the door, there was a bookshelf full of books and movies from the 1940 and 50s and combat training things. The opposite side of the room had a TV right in front of the bed, a desk, and a door to the Bathroom. Which also had Blue LED lights.
Then we looked at my room. Mine looked like it had two stories in it, but the ceiling was just tall. It was a light purple/blue. On the first floor area, there was a desk with all of my art, and Tech stuff. Under the second little floor, there were weights, the little dresser of weapons, a punching bag, and all of these Quotes on a wall. Plus a TV only wired for my workouts to play. Then underneath the stairs was the door to my bathroom and walk-in closet. On the second floor, which was less than half the size of the first floor, was my king sized bed, a rail surrounding the edge so that I wouldn't fall. We had to learn that I needed that the hard way. Then surrounding my bed were built in bookshelves with all my movies and books, plus a few trinkets. And there were LED lights around my room, plus a really bright light over my desk so then it would be easier to work. On the both walls farthest from the door there was first a very big window on the first floor, and a smaller one on the second.
"Ok, your room is totally badass." Bucky said.
"Totally." Natasha agreed. "By the way, we are so having all of the sleepovers in your room.
"Ok, well I'll let you guys all get situated, there are daily calendars in the top drawers of the desks. Girls there are all your preferred makeup, hair things, and jewelry."
Once everyone left my room, Happy stuck around for a minute.
"So, your parents wanted to make it so you were treated like the other recruits, so we mostly got you all new stuff, and if you need any of your old stuff, everything is in your room. Other than the stuff you guys requested last week in preparation for this. Well, you know when dinner is, so see you then." Happy started to tear up a bit and hugged me. "I'm so proud of you. I knew you could do it." Then he left.
For about 30 minutes, I walked around all of my room and tweaked a few things, made sure I didn't really need anything right now at least, and then I went into my friend's room.
"So, what's happening with Happy? Like, are you two close?" Bucky asked when I walked in on him getting out of the shower and changing.
"Well, my dad was like, never around because, well, Mafia boss. Then my mom was always traveling with him. So whenever I came home from months of training, Happy was really the only person who raised me."
"Ok, turn around." Bucky dropped the towel to get dressed. "So is he really your uncle or?"
"He's not really my uncle, but he's like a second father to me, and I don't want my dad pissed off by that so I just call him my uncle."
"Oh, ok, cool. You can turn back around now, I got pants on."
As usual he was dressed in dark gray pants, and was starting to pull on his black leather belt.
"How do I look doll?" He put his hands out, showing his bare chest.
"Do you want to be killed by Happy or my Father? Oh wait, the main person you want to avoid is my mother. She and Happy will probably think you're trying to fuck me." I threw his only tight black t-shirt at him.
"Ok, now how do I look?" Bucky flexed and I could see his abs.
"Better."
"Well, want to go head into the girls rooms?"
"Sure, let's go." I ran through the door and slammed it in his face playfully.
"Girls!" I slammed the door and locked it. "Help, where should I hide?"
"Get in that stuffed bear!" Yelena whisper yelled.
"Why do you have an unstuffed stuffed bear?" Natasha and I asked at the same time.
"Don't ask questions right now. Go!" Yelena said.
Within seconds Bucky was banging on the door. And Natasha was helping me into the bear.
"Just wait. I'm getting dressed!" Yelena yelled.
"What's going on?" Natsha yelled and shut the door, trying to make it so she just walked in.
"I know Savannah is in there."
"Do you want to see me naked, cause if I open this door you'll see all of it." Yelena started to undress right there and Natasha finished zipping me into the bear and threw Yelena a towel.
As soon as Yelena was naked and had a towel on, she opened the door.
"Where is she?" Bucky barged in.
"I don't know! How the fuck should we know? The door has been locked this whole time." Yelena motioned to the towel.
"I don't believe you." Bucky started looking everywhere but didn't check the bear. "Fine, I'll be in my room, playing video games." And with that he stormed out.
"Ok, so I say that we wait like five minutes then you go into his room and scare him." Natasha said.
"Deal." I got up off the ground and started walking around, waiting for Yelena to get dressed into her new outfit, and Natasha trying on different things and getting our opinion.
"So," Natasha started. "Yelena is wearing an olive green vest with lots of pockets, a cute pirate looking dress shirt, and leggings. So I can wear something white, black, blue, or purple, with maybe gold jewelry." She turned to me. "Savannah, what are you going to be wearing?"
"I think I'm going to wear my blue t-shirt crop top, with white ripped jeans, and some silver jewelry." I replied.
"Ok, so I'll wear a purple shirt with black jeans and silver jewelry. Also you're talking about your plain blue shirt, or are you talking about your multiple shaded blue shirt?"
"The one that has dark blue, light blue, and the really really light blue." I said.
"Ok, got it." As soon as Natasha was dressed we went to Bucky's room.
I burst through the door, and Bucky wasn't even frightened for a moment, but then after he processed, he jumped up and got a shield.
"What do you want !?" He freaked out. "What!?" He said after I started walking towards him. "I have a staff, I will get you."
"Oh shut up bucky." I unzipped myself and got out of the costume.
"Oh my god, don't do that. Hey, where'd you get the costume?"
"Oh Yelena had it." I replied.
"Bro why do you have an unstuffed stuffed bear?" Bucky asked Yelena.
"Don't ask questions. Now Savannah hurry and get dressed, dinner is going to be served in ten minutes."
After about five minutes of me getting dressed, fixing my hair, and my makeup, everyone was waiting for me to get done.
"Why didn't you guys just go?" I was confused.
"We have never been here. We don't know where the dining hall is." Yelena said.
"Oh, yeah. Right, follow me." I said.
"So this is the dining room." I said when we finally got down all the stairs. "Tonight they should be serving Italian food."
After waiting for a while, my parents, Peter, and Happy showed up.
"So, how was everyone's day?" My dad asked.
"Well, we passed the course, got our cool new rooms, Happy taught Bucky a lesson, then I scared the daylights out of Bucky. So today has been a great day." I said.
"Wow, what'd you do to scare Bucky?" Peter asked as we were served the soup.
"Well, for some reason, Yelena has an unstuffed stuffed teddy bear, and don't ask her why she won't tell you. But I went into Bucky's room and freaked him out from inside the bear." We all laughed, even Bucky.
"Fine, I'll tell you why. I was saving that bear for April fools. I was going to freak out Natasha." Yelena shrugged.
"Woah, why are you eating my food?" Bucky asked one of our servants.
"It's standard procedure Bucky." My dad said. "We'd rather not be poisoned. Also just be happy that they had their own spoon and got a little dish for themselves. Back when I started this operation, they used our spoons, and our bowls."
"Ok dad, we get it. You're old." Everyone was laughing.
Finally we finished our meal, and went to my room to talk.
"So what do you guys want to do? I mean, it's only 11:50, but we all know that we all have sleep insomnia."
"What about we go down to your old room and check it out?" Natasha asked.
"Yeah, didn't you say one time that you had bean bag chairs in there. We could go grab those and whatever you want from there." Bucky agreed.
Before I could even protest they were all starting to try and find my old room.
"Wait, you" guys have an indoor pool!" Bucky exclaimed.
"Yep, now come on. If you don't hurry you guys will get lost." I joked.
We got to my old room quickly. I had a bunk bed, and I slept on the top, below that, where there should've been another bed, was my bean bags and little lights and fake flowers.
"Grab the bean bag chairs." Bucky said. "And Savannah, get some swimsuits. We are going to go for a late night swim."
