Morning,

I slept over at Pepper's beach house that night, she left me some stuff to make breakfast and left for work. Pepper let me wear an old red shirt and blue shorts, as I was about to make my breakfast there was a knock on the door. I opened it and nearly jumped to see Luke, he was wearing a dark green buttoned up shirt and black pants. His black hair was long almost down to his shoulder and pulled back.

"Luke" I said "what are you doing here?"

"I've come to tell you I'm leaving" He said, the sparkle in his green eyes where gone "and I'm not going back"

"Where are you going?" I said feeling a part in me crack

"Home, there's personal business that I have to take care of." He said "I never wanted to say this, but this is goodbye."

"No" I said "please don't say goodbye"

"It's for the best, I hurt you Kida" He said gently touching my cheek as a tear started falling

"But that doesn't mean you have to leave me forever" I said "I forgive you just don't leave"

"I'm sorry"

He leaned down and kissed me, my hand held his that was still on my cheek. When we pulled away I could see tears building in his eyes.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yes"

"Would you still love me, if I was a monster?" He asked surprising me

"Luke, you're not a monster even if you where I would still love you." I said

"I love you Kida"

"I love you too" I said

He lowered his hand and started walking away, when his hand left mine I felt something in me shatter and I felt like I was going to fall. I watched as he walked down the driveway then disappeared as he walked on the sidewalk. I couldn't let it happen, he was the first person I've fallen in love with. Everything was perfect, and I would fight for it. I bolted down the driveway and looked around, he was nowhere in sight. He just disappeared, and walked out of my life so quickly. I ran down the sidewalk in the direction he was walking towards ran down the street to a secluded part of the beach. He was gone. I ran into a little cove that had two entrances, one was small and the other was large that let the water in. I looked up to see the clear blue sky above me.

More tears fell down my face and I fell onto my knees. I landed in the shade of a little palm tree in the cove. I cried and cried for hours, my vision was blurred and I screamed to try to get rid of the pain. Then I felt so exhausted and drained from the pain I leaned back with my face looking up. I closed my red puffy eyes and relaxed my sore throat. That's when my head started hurting, my eyes where still closed and I saw a bright light through my eyelids. Then shapes started to form into people, that's when I realized I was probably looking at a memory.

A woman was holding a baby; the woman had long golden hair and pale blue eyes. She was wearing a long bronze colored dress with a cape with her hair in a high bun. She was cradling the baby in a white blanket and singing a lullaby. She had the most beautiful voice; she sat in a chair in front of a large fireplace. Then a man walked in, with white hair and beard and an eye patch, he was wearing strange gold armor.

"What happened to Lady Helena?" The man asked

"She's barely alive" She said looking up to him "she's so weak, it's a matter of time before he finds her. And she won't be able to fight him off this time."

"Her"

"Helena named her child" She said and gently touched the child's cheek "Kida"

The old man took a step closer and looked at the child; the child had deep blue eyes like mine and looked up to him. He reached down and the baby grabbed his finger in one small hand making him smile.

"Odin we cannot send her away" She said, "She needs us"

There was a thud behind him and the couple turned around to see a little boy in the doorway.

"Thor what are you doing?" The woman asked, "Go to bed"

"Who is that?" He asked walking to the baby

"This is your new sister," The man 'Odin' said

"Sister" The boy said, "are we adopting her?"

"Yes we are" The woman said smiling

"Thor, she is the youngest and your only sister, do you swear to protect Kida with your life and to let no one harm her?" Odin asked

"I swear father"

I hand gently touched my shoulder and I was snapped back into reality. I jumped in surprise and accidently hit my head against the tree. I looked in front of me to see Natalie, but she was wearing a black cat suit with two guns on her belt.

"What the hell are you wearing?" I asked wiping the trail of tears off my face

"I'll explain while I take you back to Pepper's house." She said offering me her hand and I took it.

She pulled me up and I brushed the sand off of me, while we walked she told me her name was Natasha Romanoff and she was an agent of SHIELD.

"Why where you undercover?" I asked "Did Fury send you to spy on us?"

"To watch over you, Fury along with myself, Agent Barton, and Coulson made a promise to protect you."

"A) Who did you promise to? And B) Who's Agent Barton?"

"Barton is my partner"

"What about question A?" I asked as we made it to the driveway

"Classified" She said "I dropped off some clean clothes and something for tonight."

"Tonight?"

"The Stark Expo is tonight, Happy will pick you up later." She got into a black car and sped off down the road.

I ran inside and found the clothes in the guest bedroom where I slept last night. I grabbed my sketchbook and pencil. I started drawing the people from my memory with as much detail as I could draw before I loosed it. It took me a few hours without stopping to draw the man, woman, and the little boy. When I was finished I made myself a sandwich and took a shower. I changed into the clothes Natasha got me from the house. I put on the black tights, maroon sleeveless shirt that shot out at the waist, and black heels. I brushed my hair and Pepper came home and quickly got dressed. During the drive there I texted my dad and Rhodey but got no reply.

When we got to the expo I walked with Happy, Pepper, and Natasha. We made it through the crowd and found some seats in the middle of the audience. It took less than an hour for the place to get completely packed. Music started playing, and lights flashed. Justin Hammer walked out trying to act like a big shot but it made me laugh. He presented suits made for the navy, marines, air force, and army. Suits that looked too similar to the Iron man suit to be his idea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present the War Machine. Worn by Colonel James Rhodes."

Slowly an Ironman suit appeared, it was painted grey and alternated to have more weapons on it.

"You've got to be kidding me" Pepper said as the crowd cheered and I texted my dad more, still no reply.

But he answered my calls and texts by flying into the room and landing in front of Justin Hammer and War Machine. The crowd went crazy and my dad waved to them as he talked to Rhodey. The people stopped cheering as the Hammer Industry suits raised their weapons. I knew something bad was going to happen. I got up and ran to wall near the exit and found the fire alarm. I pulled it as the Hammer suits started shooting at my dad and the crowd started screaming. I ran to the stage and grabbed a microphone stand.

I broke it and ran up behind a suit, I stabbed it in the back with enough force to make the stand stick out of the chest plate. The suit fell over onto its knees with it's back bent over. One suit walked towards me while the rest flew after my dad. I jumped onto the back of the suit I stabbed and jumped off. I used my anger to freeze the drops falling around me into sharp shards of ice. I threw my hand across me and the shards flew past me and hit the machine I landed and my hair fell around my face. I looked up and saw Justin Hammer look at me in fear then run away.

I heard screaming and looked outside to see machines walking through the crowds. I ran outside and used the water in the buildings to attack the machines. I suddenly heard a woman's scream and looked a few yards away from me to see a woman running to a small child. I bolted towards the boy as a machine walked towards him. I jumped in front of him as his mother got to him and the machine raised its gun. A layer of gold light formed from my hands between the machine and me. The bullets bounced off of the light and hit the machine destroying itself. I turned around as the light disappeared to see the boy smiling at me.

"Thank you" The woman said picking up her son

I smiled and nodded my head I ran off and jumped onto the shoulders of another machine. Gold light covered my hand and I grabbed the suit's headpiece. The helmet piece broke into millions of pieces and fell to the ground. I ran close to another building to use the water to attack the machines. Forming a long ice spear, I threw it at three machines pinning all of them into the wall of a building. My phone started ringing and I answered realizing it was my dad.

"Dad where are you?" I asked

"Getting Pepper where are you?" He asked

"I'm by the souvenir shop what's happening?" I heard a beeping noise behind me

I turned around to see the machines I took down and to see a red flashing light and there was a beeping noise. I started running until an explosion behind me knocked me off my feet. I dropped my phone as I rolled down a set of stone stairs. When I got to the bottom I pushed myself up and started running.

"KIDA"

I turned around and saw Rhodey in the War Machine suit flying towards me. I stopped running and he quickly grabbed me. I watched over his shoulder as the rest of the machines exploded. We landed on the roof of a building a few miles away. There we heard my dad and Pepper talking, Rhodey's facemask slid up and we turned around to see Pepper and my dad kissing.

"It's about time you two got together" I said and they stopped "so what's for dinner?"

The next day,

My dad and I sat at the table in the same abandoned warehouse were I first met Director Fury. He handed us both a manila folder with 'The Avengers Initiative' on it.

"This is Romanoff's review of you two to see if you were qualified." Fury said

"Not qualified" My dad said reading his folder "Textbook narcissist?"

Fury and I both gave him a look, he shouldn't sound surprised.

"Alright" He said as I reached the bottom of my folder

"Qualified" I said reading the bottom "I'm qualified"

"What?" My dad said

"Yes, with the proper training of course, we're offering you a chance to be trained at a nearby base. There you'll learn combat skills, weapons training, and you can practice your powers to become an agent."

My dad and I both looked at each other; I couldn't join the Avengers without him. We both smiled, we where thinking the same thing and we both stood up.

"Thanks for the offer Director, but you can't afford us." I said before we walked to our car outside

"Can I drive?" I asked

"Absolutely not"

"Why not?" I asked

"Because this is an expensive car, that's why I got you that little Jeep for your birthday." He said as he started driving

"What Jeep?"

"Dammit" He mumbled "I ruined the surprise"

Oh, I'm holding my breath

Won't lose you again

Something's made your eyes go cold

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this

I thought I had you figured out

Something's gone terribly wrong

You're all I wanted
