This is a continuation of the last one, it needed a better ending. I should have more time to write because of Thanksgiving break, so hooray! Let me know what you guys think, I love hearing from ya'll. Thanks for reading! =D

It was another torturous first day of school, the only thing to break the monotony was the assembly on self-defense. Ever since Aunt Tasha and Uncle Clint found out I was bullied they had been training me, not just regular defense moves but some awesome spy stuff too. One of the coolest thing I learned was how to fight blindfolded, I wasn't all that good at it but I was getting better. I'm talking parkour and CrossFit, I was in the best shape of my life. After doing hardcore workouts for a solid year and a half I was, if do say so myself pretty kickass. I wasn't really planning on paying attention. I mean come on, what could a random guy teach me that my favorite super spies hadn't already showed me?

So I was shocked when I heard the principal announce the self-defense instructors.

"Give a warm welcome to two of New York's own superheroes, Hawkeye and the Black Widow!"

I felt all the blood drain from my face as half the auditorium turned to look at me. Before I could do or say anything, both of them stepped up onstage.

Aunt Tasha had the smile that made you wonder if she really was smiling on just standing there next to Uncle Clint who was grinning and waving. I groaned and put my hand over my face, hoping if I just closed my eyes this wouldn't be happening. Three seconds later they were still there, so I just resigned myself to the fact.

For the first half-hour it was like any other self-defense workshop, so I stopped paying attention. They had showed me this stuff the first couple of weeks of training. As my thoughts wandered, I started thinking about the math homework my teacher had assigned. Over the summer Tony had tutored me, I wasn't anywhere near his level but now calculus was a snap. Only when Clint's voice boomed into the microphone did I snap to attention.

"That's all well and good but what do you do if someone bigger than you attacks you?"

Tasha smirked at him.

"Well let's find out. You over there come up here."

I looked to see who she pointed to, to see if I knew them. To my surprise it was Jason, he was grinning as he strutted up onto the stage.

"And you, you're pretty small."

I started looking around to see what poor sap had been picked, when I realized it was me that she was looking at. I pointed at myself and she nodded, so reluctantly I got up and made my way to the stage. Whispers and snickering could be heard as I passed.

Jason took one look at me and burst out laughing.

"Her? You've got to be kidding me, this is just too perfect! Ashley, make sure you get this on video."

Tasha came over to me with a tight smile on her face.

"What are you doing?!"

"Just play along Anna."

With that she shoved me forward, into the middle of the stage. I glanced over at Clint, who only winked at me.

"Okay Jason, just attack her like you were trying to hurt her."

"No problem. You ready to get your butt kicked loser?"

I smiled, realizing the opportunity before me.

"Yeah, show me what you got princess."

Face scrunching up in anger, he yelled and rushed at me. I guess my reflexes had gotten better because sidestepping him was easy. With his back to me I swept my leg out and knocked him off his feet, then I jumped on him and pinned his arm behind his back. I held fast as he struggled to get up, only letting go when Tasha nodded at me.

He got up and looked at me with a half furious half shocked expression on his face. Before anyone could say anything he growled and ran at me again. Smirking I let him get close enough for me to grab his arm and flip him, twisting his wrist as I did. Howling in pain, he jumped up and in blind rage he swung at me. Deciding to show off I jumped in the air and roundhouse kicked him in the chest, knocking him down. He raised a hand and groaned, when he didn't get up I became nervous. I looked uncertainly at Clint what was I supposed to do now? He just grinned at me, no help at all.

There was complete silence in the auditorium until someone in the back started clapping, before I knew it the whole school had joined in. In disbelief I smiled, this was the best first day of school ever!

Later that afternoon when I got home I found Bruce and Tony in the lab. They didn't notice me come in because both of their attention was fixated on one of the holo-screens.

"Look at that! He's down for the count. Play it again!"

I quirked a brow, neither of them like wrestling to my knowledge. I came up behind them to see what it was that they were watching.

It was me!

Someone must have videoed the assembly because there in HD, I was kicking Jason's butt.

"So, whatcha watching?"

Bruce turned around and smiled sheepishly. But Tony without taking his eyes from the screen shushed me.

"Shhhh! This is the best part."

I sat down on the bench next to them and grinned.

I don't think anybody is gonna mess with me after that.
