Evelyn's p.o.v.
"In my defense, he provoked me.", I say to Severus as we're walking towards the Great hall.
"You can't react at every provocation the way you did.", he tells me.
"I'm not like you, I can't be quiet.", I say and he looks at me, arching his eyebrow, "No one told you to be quiet, just don't trow sharp objects at people."
I roll my eyes, "I didn't trow it."
"Because Sirius stopped you. I bet he just waited for an opportunity to get you alone.", he mumbles the last part.
We walk to the teachers table and take our seats. Thor's already there.
"We need to talk.", he informs me.
"I know, I know, I made a mistake.", I say, adjusting my chair.
"My brother can be an idiot but you can't react the way you did.", he tells me and I roll my eyes, tired of justifying myself.
"I know."
Luckily, we see Albus stand up and walk towards his platform, meaning the conversation will end soon.
"When are you traveling to S.H.I.E.L.D.?", Thor asks me.
"After lunch. Fury told me that the plane will be waiting at the same spot where Steve landed. I want to get back before the tournament starts.", I explain.
Dumbledore claps his hands a few times and everyone stops talking, "Now that we're all settled here and sorted, I'd like to make an announcement. This castle will no longer be your home this year but home to some very special guests as well."
"What the hell does he want?", Thor asks as Filch limps towards the teachers table.
Filch is the only one revolting to Thor and I using the Room of Requirement so we're not really fond of him.
"You see, and I told you that already, Hogwards has been chosen-", Albus continues but Filch comes up and they start whispering.
"Is something going on?", I ask, straightening up.
"So, Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event.", Albus continues as Filch runs off.
"The Triwizard tournament. Since we talked about this already, I will not lengthen so please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and the headmistress madam Maxime."
Girls in blue uniforms and blue hats start to walk in, very disciplined. Every boy in the hall is focused on the girls while they do their dance, blue butterflies flying all around the hall. I smile as one of the butterflies lands in front of me but as I reach to touch it, it disappears. Everyone claps as they end their show and Albus leads a huge woman towards our table.
"And now, our friends from the north, please greet the proud sons of Durmstrang and the high master Igor Karkaroff."
The boys enter very loudly, banging their sticks on the floor and switching them in hands as they repeat the banging.
"Russians?", I ask Severus and he nods.
"Albus.", Igor greets him and they hug.
"It's good to see you.", Albus tells him.
"I'm aware that we are not the only guests in Hogwarts.", he tells him and everyone in the hall looks at Thor and me.
"Yes. The Avengers ...just for security.", he tells him and he laughs, "Of course!"
Walking upstairs, he greets Thor first, "Igor Karkaroff. My boys admire you.", he informs him and Thor smiles, "Thank you."
"Evelyn Stark. Daughter of the great Howard Stark. It's an honor to meet you.", he tells me, offering his hand.
"You knew my father?", I ask, a little taken back.
"I did. A great man with wonderful children. Maria was a great woman. I remember her when she was young and you look a lot like her. I'm sorry for your loss."
I nod, "Thank you."
"I hope this tournament will bring a lot of joy and everyone will get along. Now, take a seat and let the feast begin.", Albus tells and food appears on the tables.
"Nice guy.", I comment as Igor sits between Thor and I.
"Don't trust him.", Severus warns me and I frown, "Why not?"
"Just listen to me this time, we will talk when you return."
"I saw you when you where a little girl. Your father used to drag you everywhere.", he tells me and I smile as memories form in my head, "Yes. I was always more attached to him then my mom."
He smiles, "You know how they say, a mother gets a son and a father gets a daughter."
I smile back, "That's true."
His attention switches to Thor and they start a conversation while I eat in silence.
X X X
"Wellcome back you.", Maria greets me as I enter S.H.I.E.L.D.
I smile, "Not really back but okay."
"Here you are.", I see Nick walking towards me.
"You look good.", he tells me with a small smile.
"Thank you."
"Everything okay back there?"
I sigh, "For now. Where is everyone?"
"Nat and Bruce are still on the mission, Hawkeye is shooting arrows somewhere and Steve and Tony are waiting for you in the lab No. 5."
"Okay.", I say, walking towards the elevator.
"You will have to stay the night.", he informs me and I turn around, "What?"
"We need the plane and it will be back tomorrow morning.", he explains.
"What if something happens?", I say, starting to feel nervous.
"Thor can handle one night without you, don't worry.", he tells me, walking away.
After exiting the elevator, I proceed walking toward the lab. Occasionally someone greets me but since it's morning and mornings are the busiest in S.H.I.E.L.D., the hallways are empty.
"Morning.", I say as the lab door opens.
Steve and Tony end their conversation and look at me as I drop my bag on the table.
"Long flight?", Steve asks.
"Yea. I hate it."
"You returning today?", Tony asks and I shake my head, "No. Fury told me that they need the plane so I will be back tomorrow night."
Tony smiles, "At least you'll be able to see Pepper."
"Yea, that's the only good thing.", I say and Steve frowns, "Are Tony and I not good enough?", he asks and I smile, "I didn't mean it that way."
"After testing the suit, you can go and get some rest and later we all can go to dinner.", Tony tells and I nod, "Sounds good. So, where's the suit?"
"Just around the corner. You ...will LOVE it.", he tells, all exited.
"It's not an iron suit, is it?", I ask skeptically and he smirks, "No, don't worry."
"I think it's great.", Steve tells me as we walk towards it.
"Ta-da!", Tony yells as he pulls the curtain off the capsule.
I make a face, admiring it and Tony looks at me, smiling, "You like it?"
I step closer, observing the details, "It's great."
The suit is made of black leather with anthracite metal plates attached on knees, elbows and upper chest area. On every sleeve, there's a pocked for bullets and on the hip, there is a belt for gun and dagger. On the right arm, theres a shiny metal thickening but I need Tony to understand the use of it. The suit is pared with black gloves, with the same metal plates, but smaller, placed on the joints.
"The suit is a combination of bulletproof materials, thickened all around the chest area, so it will feel a bit heavy when you try it. My advice is to wear it while training so your body gets used to the heaviness. Metal plates are for extra security and extra damage on gloves, if you get into a fist fight. Belt is for guns and stuff, pockets for bullets. Metal plate on the right arm is actually a laser gun. You can shoot it or cut thinks with it but be careful, it's sensitive. In left sleeve you have your watch installed so you don't have to cary it while wearing the suit. I will give you a watch for Thor so you two can communicate easier. Gloves also are made of bulletproof material and resistant to cuts. Umm, I think that's all. ready to try it?", Tony asks and I nod.
"I think you made it a little too tight.", I say, trying to adjust myself in it.
"It has to be that way, you will get used to it.", he tells me.
"How do I use-", before I can finish my sentence and after stretching my arm while curling my hand into a fist, a bright red light shoos out of the metal, almost hitting Steve in the leg.
"Ups, sorry.", I say.
"I told you it was sensitive.", Tony tells me.
"But I didn't do anything.", I say, looking at the glove.
"The glove is connected with the laser. You curl your hand into a fist and every time you squeeze it, shoots will be fired. If you squeeze it and hold it, one laser light will shoot out. Tab twice if you want to disable the laser, also twice if you want to enable it again.", a female robotic voice answers my question.
"Ena, your assistant.", Tony informs me.
"Oh.", I say.
"I will be informing you off any damage done to the suit during fights and laser battery capacity, also the heat compartment.", she tells me.
"Great, thanks."
"Nice to meet you miss Stark.", she tells me and I smile, "Same Ena."
"Well, well, well, look who decided to visit the real world.", I hear Clint's voice and smile, "But not for long."
He hugs me and I hug him back, "It's nice to see you."
"Same.", I say, squeezing his real tight.
"When are you going back?", he asks.
"Tomorrow morning.", I say and he smiles, "Does that mean we get to party a little?"
"That is the plan.", Tony tells with a smirk.
"Look, an owl.", I hear Steve say, pointing at the sky.
I smile, "Wow, nice."
My smile fades when I see this big ass bird flying towards me.
"Oh no.", I say, curling a bit as it lands on my back.
"Look, Hogwarts made Evie a Disney princess.", Clint comments and they all laugh.
"This is not funny you guys.", I say, still tensing up with my eyes closed.
"It has something in the beak.", Steve comments.
As I straight up, the owl hops on my shoulder, handing me a letter.
"Hogwarts?", I say out loud.
"Oh my God, in what kind of 1561 village are you located?", Tony comments.
"They don't use technology for communication.", I say, opening the letter.
The guys rush behind me and Clint starts to reading it out loud.
"Dear Evie, we miss you a lot already. Everything here is fine and you don't have to worry, just relax and have a good time but not too good because you have to go back. My class with the kids was great but they kept asking where you are. They really like you, especially Harry, Ron and Hermione. They set a cup with blue fire coming out of it in the great hall for the tournament. It's weird but I like it, everyone is hyped up. Loki is the only one that doesn't miss you but he's an idiot so don't mind that. Take care. Thor.", Clint ends the letter.
"I'm going to vomit.", Tony comments, walking away.
"I think this is nice.", Steve speaks up.
"Same.", Clint agrees as I smile, reading the letter once again.
This is not Thor's writing so I bet my ass he asked Severus to do it. I can only imagine how that ended up.
Severus's p.o.v.
"Dear Evelyn Stark.", he starts, pacing around my office.
"No, too formal.", he tells and I sigh, erasing the words.
"Dear Evelyn ...no, I don't call her Evelyn."
"She's coming back, you do know that.", I say and he looks at me, "Yes, I do."
"Then what's the point of writing to her?", I ask.
He smiles, "So she knows I'm thinking about her."
"Still, she's coming back.", I say, looking at her.
He stops and looks at me, "You really don't understand."
I frown, "Understand what?"
"Evie is very, very important to me. She's family and there's nothing more important than family. She came to Asgard and lived with us for a while. She's my sister, my partner, one of the best people I know. She is good, smart, kind, fearless ...and she deserves all the love in this world. You may not know it, but she will appreciate this letter a lot because she will know that I am thinking about her ...my family. It doesn't matter if she's away for a day, she deserves to know that she means something to me. To everybody. And if something happens to her, if someone harms her, I will kill the person who does her wrong. I take care of her and I will always do that, for long as I live. And I hope you will do the same because if you don't, we will have a problem.", he explains.
"What do you want the letter to say?", I say, completely understanding why is he doing this.
