Recap
"So, you basically dance to your own type of music but you hate ballroom dancing?" Phoenix said.
Clint nodded.
"Well, how about we going dancing one time?" Phoenix asked.
Clint smiled and said, "Okay but I get the feeling that there may be another reason that we are going dancing."
"Hawk, did you forget that dating me that you'll have to attend functions outside of the Avengers?" Phoenix questioned.
Clint sighed and nodded a bit. Then he asked, "Nix, where are we going exactly? I mean we left the tower like thirty minutes ago?"
"Well, I thought we could go for a walk because I would like to show you something." Phoenix said.
Okay, now Clint had to admit that he was curious where Phoenix was taking him.
Phoenix smiled as she walked towards a building and tapped on the door with Clint beside her.
"Come in." A feminine voice said.
Both Phoenix and Clint entered. Clint was shocked at what he was seeing as he looked around.
"How can I help you?" A young lady said walking towards them.
"Is George Weaseley or Angelina Weasley in?" Phoenix asked.
"They are busy and I won't bother them for someone like you?!" The young lady said.
Clint thought this young woman was very rude until Phoenix said, "Obviously, you have no idea who I am apparently because I own this building."
"Yeah, right." The young lady said.
Clint was about to say something when a little girl ran up to Phoenix and said, "Miss Stark, daddy said that you would probably come by today for the Avengers first ever prank war at Stark Tower!"
Clint watched as Phoenix said, "Yes, I did come by but I also brought Hawkeye with me because I wanted him to see your Father's joke shop."
The little girl turned towards him and said, "Hello, Mr. Hawkeye."
"Hello." Clint said to the little girl smiling.
The young lady was completely stunned that her boss's daughter knew these two.
"Francesca?" A male voice said.
The little girl turned and said, "Over here daddy. I am with Phoenix and Hawkeye."
"Ms.Stark, what a pleasant surprise?" George said walking towards them.
"Hey George, I'm going to need a special delivery to Stark Tower." Phoenix said.
"Of course but may I ask why?" George asked curiously.
"Well, let's just a prank war is happening at Stark Tower." Phoenix answered.
"Really?" George questioned.
"Yeah and Dad is wanting to do this for the Avengers to have fun on their off days or when their all together at the Tower." Phoenix said.
"So, what exactly are you two doing besides picking up pranking supplies?" George asked curiously.
"I wanted to show Clint the Magical side of New York." Phoenix said.
"Cool. Clint might just like it and I heard about what happened when Mom, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione ambushed Draco Malfoy. That was totally sweet and I was surprised that Dad and my elder brothers alerted the American Aurora about Mom, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione being here; considering, she said that she coming to see me, Angelina, and Francesca." George said.
Clint chuckled and said, "Natasha was the one that went into the wrong lab that day. Phoenix was a bit upset but she forgave Natasha."
Francesca looked at Phoenix and asked, "Is Mr. Clint your Prince Charming?"
Both Clint and Phoenix weren't exactly sure how to respond to that.
George chuckled and said, "Francesca, are you saying that Phoenix is a princess?"
Francesca looked at her father and said, "Well, daddy, a Phoenix is a regal bird and her hawk is her prince."
Both Phoenix and Clint blushed.
George saw this and smiled but he thought Phoenix should know something and said, "Nix, Kingsly is here and he is talking with someone who of MCUSA seeing if he can get the charges dropped on Mom, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione."
"Thanks for the heads up, George. However, I think Kingsly will get the shock of his life about how the American magical communities are different than the British ones especially since Loki kind of expose magic to the no-majs. Not to mention that the Avengers are aware that magic exists and the magical community came to aid because they had to defend as well because Loki was also endagering them." Phoenix said, "Plus, Dad is known as Lord Anthony Edward Stark or Tony for short here. "
George smiled.
Clint was stunned by hearing this bit of information.
"Well, Lady Phoenix Stark, I hope you and your boyfriend enjoy your day in the magical world of New York." George said.
"Thanks, George and I believe that this Kingsly will get the shock of his life." Phoenix said.
George chuckled as he watched Phoenix and Clint head to the other side of the store where the door to the magical side of New York was.
As they headed to the door; Clint had to ask, "Phoenix, why does it seem like you know things before it happens?"
"Well, you know how I became who am now, right, Clint? " Phoenix said.
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?" Clint questioned.
"Probably nothing but there could be a possibility that the de-aging pition and the blood adoption potion had some sort of reaction to one another or Lady Magic herself had something to do with it. I'm not really sure." Phoenix said.
"I think that I would vote for Lady Magic. Do you think of it as a gift or curse, Phoenix? " Clint asked curiously.
"May be a bit of both, Clint. I really thought I would manage a normal life even if I was still magical. Don't get me wrong, I love being Tony's daughter because he taught me a lot about technology and running a business. He also got me the best magical tutors as well as non-maj tutors. I guess there are times that old life invades my new life because I'm scared of losing both Tony and Pepper who are my parents now. I want to completely forget my old life." Phoenix said.
"Phoenix, have you told Tony and Pepper how you feel?" Clint questioned.
"I haven't told them because there are still times that I feel like this just a dream and I don't know if I want to wake up." Phoenix said.
Unbeknownst to Clint and Phoenix; Jarvis had recorded their conversation and was letting Tony and Pepper at that moment.
At the tower in Tony's lab...
Pepper and Tony were looking through the albums when Jarvis spoke, "Sir, I believe that you and Mrs need to hear this? "
"What is it, Jarvis? " Tony questioned.
"It's Phoenix, sir. "
Tony and Pepper stopped looking through the albums. Then Pepper said, "Jarvis, play the recording."
"Yes, Ma'am."
~ Jarvis playing the recording ~
As they headed to the door; Clint had to ask, "Phoenix, why does it seem like you know things before it happens?"
"Well, you know how I became who am now, right, Clint? " Phoenix said.
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?" Clint questioned.
"Probably nothing but there could be a possibility that the de-aging pition and the blood adoption potion had some sort of reaction to one another or Lady Magic herself had something to do with it. I'm not really sure." Phoenix said.
"I think that I would vote for Lady Magic. Do you think of it as a gift or curse, Phoenix? " Clint asked curiously.
"May be a bit of both, Clint. I really thought I would manage a normal life even if I was still magical. Don't get me wrong, I love being Tony's daughter because he taught me a lot about technology and running a business. He also got me the best magical tutors as well as non-maj tutors. I guess there are times that old life invades my new life because I'm scared of losing both Tony and Pepper who are my parents now. I want to completely forget my old life." Phoenix said.
"Phoenix, have you told Tony and Pepper how you feel?" Clint questioned.
"I haven't told them because there are still times that I feel like this just a dream and I don't know if I want to wake up." Phoenix said.
~ End of Recording ~
Tony and Pepper were shocked to hear what their daughter was telling Hawkeye. Both Pepper and Tony were hating that Phoenix still had nightmares that had to do with her former self; but it was tearing Tony to pieces a bit more because he had raised her by himself at the age of twenty-eight and he hadn't realized just how bad her nightmares had been.
"Tony?" Pepper said concerned.
"Pepper, did I fail Phoenix as her father in some way?" Tony questioned.
Pepper wrapped her arms around Tony and said, "I really don't know what it was like for you and Phoenix in the beginning, Tony. However, when I started working for you before we started dating and before getting married; I did see a man who loved his daughter very much that he practically did anything for her. I think Phoenix may still suffer from PTSD that came from her previous life as Harriet Potter. You managed to get help with your PTSD; so, you, me, Hawkeye, and the rest of the Avengers can help Phoenix with her PTSD."
"Thanks, Pep. I think I needed to hear that and you're right, I do need to help Phoenix any way that I can." Tony said.
"Since Hawkeye is already with Phoenix; let's have a meeting with the other Avengers and explain what exactly is going on just in case Phoenix needs one of them if me, you, and Clint aren't around." Pepper suggested.
"Good idea, Pep. Then I'll get back to working on my surprise project for Nix then." Tony said.
Pepper and Tony left his lab and headed to the common room to inform the others of the situation with Phoenix.
Back with Phoenix and Clint...
Phoenix and Clint were at the door that connected to York Alley then Phoenix opened it letting Clint step through first and then followed him.
"Welcome to York Alley, Clint." Phoenix said as she saw Clint's reaction.
"Nix, this place is beautiful." Clint said with wide eyes.
Phoenix just smiled and said, "Probably makes you feel like you're in a fantasy movie."
"Yeah, but it's real." Clint said in awe.
"Come on and I'll show you around, my dear Hawk." Phoenix said.
"Lead the way, Nix." Clint said.
Phoenix and Clint were walking along the cobblestone paths. Clint noticed as they were walking along that the witches and wizards were staring at them and then greeting them as well as thanking them.
Phoenix just smiled and watched Clint as they were both being greeted and thanked by the American magical community. She watched as Clint said you're welcome to them as she did; she was happy sharing the magical world with Clint.
"Excuse me, Ms. Stark and Mr. Hawkeye?" A male voice said.
Both Phoenix and Clint turned to see that it was an Auror of MCUSA and standing beside him was British Minister of Magic.
"This is British Minster of Magic, Kingsly Shacklebolt." Auror said.
Phoenix didn't say a word but acknowledged Kingsly; but Clint said looking at Kingsly, "Forgive my bluntness, but is it common for a British Auror to ambush someone and burst into someone else's business meeting and accusing the daughter of the CEO of being someone that she's not and in front of the said CEO who happens to be her father and assume that she's to marry him?"
"What do you mean, sir? " Kingsly questioned.
"I can only assume Lord Anthony Edward Stark will forgive your Auror and his family for family bursting into meeting with Lord Draco Malfoy, CEO of Black Industries on a possible merger of companies and then he had the gaul to attack Phoenix in front of me! " Clint said angrily.
Kingsly wasn't sure what to say at the moment. However, Kingsly noticed that the American Auror was in a state of shock.
"Who did Auror Weasley think Ms. Stark was? " Kingsly asked curiously.
"He thought Phoenix was this Harriet Potter." Clint said.
"This Auror Weasley thought that your betrothed, Lady Phoenix Stark was Harriet Potter; Mr. Barton?" The American Auror questioned.
"Yeah and he well his sister was about to attack her as well which didn't exactly sit well with me or the Avengers because Phoenix is Tony's daughter and they both have been through hell!" Clint said.
Kingsly huffed and said, "I apologize for Auror Weasley as well as myself. Ms. Stark, news of the Battle of New York reached across the pond and I must admit that you do resemble Ms. Potter in some way except for the eyes. I never imagined that Ron Weasley or his family would come here to confront you for being Harriet when you are not her."
"I appreciate the apologize considering that we nearly could've had a code green at the Tower because of them." Phoenix said.
"Code Green?" Kingsly questioned.
" A dear friend of our's was exposed to Gamma Radiation when he was a child curtisy of his father and he turns into this hulking green muscle man when angry. Trust me, your Auror Weasley just about caused him to hulk out and that wouldn't have been good." Clint stated.
The American Auror's eyes went wide and said, "Auror Weasley nearly caused the Hulk to come out?!"
"Yeah and he could have probably ended up like Loki if the Hulk had come out." Clint said.
Kingsly was stunned and said, "I am here to get Auror Weasley and the others and take them back to Britain. I'm surprised that the American magical community is working along side Muggles."
"Don't judge the American magical community because without their help there would've been casualties of both magicals and muggles because Loki was actually attacking both in a way of sorts." Phoenix stated.
"Phoenix is right. You should not your fellow magicals considering, Auror Ron Weasley could have started an International Incident almost like Loki could have if we hadn't contained it here in New York." Clint said.
Minutes later...
Two American Aurors came walking towards them with Ron, Hermione, Molly, and Ginny in tow. Phoenix and Clint recognized the Auror and her name was Melanie Martinez who was a muggle-bornand she had visited Stark Tower before after the Battle of New York.
"Auror Martinez, why have you brought them here? " The American Auror said.
"Head Auror Sanchez was about hex these four, sir because they wouldn't shut up." Melanie said.
Suddenly, Phoenix was about to say something when both her and Clint heard, "Hulk smash puny deadhead and others who hurt Burning Stark! " That's when they realized that Bruce must've heard something.
"Easy big guy." A male voice said which Phoenix recognized as her father's voice.
"Tony, where are we?" Another male voice said.
"York Alley and I owe George a new wall as well as a door." Tony said.
Phoenix and Clint couldn't help but feel that Bruce saw something that caused him to Hulk out and apparently her father and Steve had tried to hide it from Bruce but failed.
Molly heard the man called Tony mention her son, George.
Kingsly looked at the green man with wide eyes.
"Um... Dad? It was the building that I bought? " Phoenix said.
"I know but still, Nix? " Tony said.
"Hulk sorry, Flaming Stark." Hulk said looking at Phoenix.
Phoenix chuckled and said, "Don't worry about it, Hulk. If I know George Weasley and his wife; they will probably make your smash through the wall a door. "
George decided to step out of his shop and said, "You're right, Ms. Stark and I plan to remake the door leading to York Alley as a group picture of the Avengers."
"Excuse me?" A little voice said.
Phoenix, Clint, Tony, Steve, and the Hulk looked down to see a little girl looking up at them. Phoenix knelt down to her level and said, "Hello, little one."
"Are you all the Avengers?" The little girl asked.
"We're part of them, little one." Phoenix said.
"Abigail?" A woman's voice said.
Kingsly was watching the interaction between these people and the two magicals.
"Mommy, these people are the 'vengers!" The little girl named Abigail said.
The woman looked at the small group of people and gasped then said, "It's pleasure to meet you. My daughter and I live in a magical community in Tennessee; we came to York Alley for vacation and Abigail loves the Avengers. She calls Ms. Stark, Iron Phoenix since Ironman is her father."
Clint had to chuckle a bit because some of the Avengers weren't sure what Phoenix should be called.
Phoenix looked at Clint for a moment and then said to Abigail, "Well, Hawkeye and I are betrothed but we are also courting."
Both the woman and her daughter, Abigail were surprised at that bit of news.
Kingsly was stunned to know that the young lady known as Phoenix Stark had been mistaken as Harriet Potter was betrothed to a fellow teammate.
"Auror Martinez, back to why Head Auror Sanchez wanted to hex these four?" The Auror with Kingsly questioned.
"They wouldn't shut up about Ms. Stark being Harriet Potter and demanded that she pay them for a broken marriage contract." Auror Martinez said.
Suddenly, the Hulk grinned suddenly; which surprised both Tony and Steve along with Phoenix and Clint.
"Tin Can, Hulk be back; Hulk get web guy." The Hulk said.
Tony just nodded.
"Who's Web Guy?" Auror Martinez questioned.
"Tin Can is what Hulk calls Tony when he's in his Iron Man suit. Flaming Stark Bird or just Flaming Stark is what he calls Phoenix. Web Guy could be what the Hulk calls Spider-Man." Steve stated.
"Oh? " Auror Martinez said.
Ron whimpered which everyone heard.
Auror Martinez gave the red headed Auror a questioning look.
"My husband has a fear of spiders." Hermione said.
Auror Martinez just rolled her eyes.
Kingsly was curious about what exactly going on and was about to ask until someone said, "Someone asked for your friendly neighborhood, Spider-Man?"
"I see the Hulk found you, Spidey." Clint said.
"Yeah, he said that Flaming Bird and Hawk need help. Tin Can and Flag guy already there." Spider-Man said.
"Hulk got Web Guy to get mean people again." Hulk said.
Tony couldn't help but chuckle at that.
Ginny was about send a stinging hex with her wand towards the Hulk when suddenly what looked like a white string pulled her wand out of her hand.
"I don't think so." Spider-Man said pulling the redheaded woman's wand towards him.
"Give me back my wand!" Ginny screamed at Spider-Man.
Hermione raised her wand to attack Spider-Man when a blazing arrow landed in front of her.
Kingsly wondered where the arrow came from when he looked to see that Phoenix Stark was holding a bow and had the quiver on her back. Then he heard Phoenix Stark say, "How dare you attack my family?! Spider-Man is like my little brother. The Hulk, Capsicle, The Black-Widow, Iron Patriot, and several others are like my Aunts and Uncles; while Tony and Pepper are my parents. Hawkeye is my boyfriend, my lover and the only man that I trust with my heart. You, your husband, your mother in law and sister in law are enemies of the Ancient Noble house of Stark and the Avengers!"
Kingsly was wide eyed to hear this and turned to Ron and said, "Head Auror Weasley, why do think Ms. Stark is Harriet Potter? "
"It is Harriet, sir! " Ron said.
Auror Martinez huffed and then looked at Tony and said, "Lord Stark, I am sorry that this guy has caused you problems."
Tony looked at Auror Martinez and said, "Those four just seem dead set that my daughter is this Harriet Potter when she's not. I have raised Phoenix since I was twenty-eight years old and the only other person that really helped me out was my wife, Pepper when she was still working for me at the time. Phoenix liked Pepper and I did too."
Kingsly was shocked to learn that Lord Draco Malfoy had had a business meeting with Tony Stark who was Lord of his house.
The conversation continued; while Spider-Man was looking at Phoenix and Hawkeye who were looking at him with a smile.
"I'm just curious, sis but are those four trying to cause an International Incident?" Spider-Man asked curiously.
"Little brother, I think that may be what they want." Phoenix said.
"Why are they so determined to say that you're Harriet Potter? " Clint said.
"I guess those four are so desperate to find this Harriet Potter that they'll accuse anyone that resembles her in some way of being her." Phoenix said.
Both Clint and Spider-Man aka Peter Parker nodded in agreement with Phoenix Stark.
"Why are you calling that freak your brother?" Hermione questioned Phoenix.
Phoenix looked directly at her and said, "Because he is my brother regardless if we are not blood related. Also, besides Hawkeye, the other Avengers are like my aunts and uncles may be even cousins; family doesn't always have to be blood. My father risked his life for mine in more ways than you will ever know and I don't take kindly to people who threaten my family and friends."
Spider-Man was stunned to hear Ms. Stark defending him like a sister would.
"Nix, is right, Spider-Man is like a son to me and no one has a right to insult my kids or the family that we have made. I don't even know why you think my daughter is this Harriet Potter person?! However, I assure you that if you keep it up; we will see you in court and I mean a muggle court as well as a magical one!" Tony stated.
Kingsly looked at the man in shock and said, "Surely, that won't be necessary, Mr. Stark."
Tony looked at Kingsly and said, "I am a Billionaire and CEO of Stark Industries but I let my wife help me run the Company as Co-CEO and she does a hella of a job! We even have a magical department in the company where witches and wizards can work to their hearts content as well as enjoy the non-magical world. MCUSA likes the idea especially when they actually helped us out in the Battle of New York because they said, 'To Hell, with the Statue of Secrecy! '; they were fighting to protect their way of life like we were! "
Kingsly wasn't sure what to say to this. Then the Auror that was beside him said, "Lord Stark is correct, we did say, 'To the Hell with the Statue of Secrecy' because Loki was already revealing magic to the No-majs."
"Who are you? " Ginny asked looking at the Auror next to Kingsly.
The Auror looked at her and said, "I'm Auror Rick O'Connell and yes, I am aware that I have the same name as character from the Mummy Trilogy that Brendan Fraser plays. My mother was a huge fan of the trilogy." aware that he was getting looks from the Avengers and the Starks.
Phoenix looked at him and said, "Well, that's interesting to say the least and probably comes in handy sometimes."
Auror O'Connell looked at Ms. Stark and said, "Not really. I mean my co-workers like to joke and ask 'How's Evie?' and 'Have you put any mummies down, lately?' It does get old sometimes."
Kingsly, Molly, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione were surprised to hear that.
Then things calmed down once Kingsly left with the four that were rude. So, Phoenix continued showing Clint around York Alley; while her father and the others checked a few things out themselves and were mobbed by some of the magical community for autographs.
Somewhere in York Alley...
A woman who favored Bellatrix LeStrange was walking with her grandson, Teddy who was a huge fan of the Avengers and his favorite Avengers were Iron Man, Hawkeye, Spider-Man, and the Hulk.
"Grandma, do think that we'll run into the Avengers?" Teddy asked.
"I don't know, Teddy?" Andi said.
A moment later, they walked up on a commotion going on.
"What's going on?" Andi questioned someone.
"Some of the Avengers are here in York Alley." A woman answered.
Teddy went wide eyed at hearing that and asked, "Which Avengers? "
The woman looked at Teddy and said, "Well, Hawkeye is here with Iron Man's daughter, Phoenix Stark and it's rumored that they are courting each other. Then Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, and Spider-Man are here as well."
"Yeah, apparently some British witches and a wizard thought Lord Tony Stark's daughter was Harriet Potter when she isn't. However, if she was; we could probably understand why she wouldn't want to return to Britain except to those who were truly her friends and family to her." A man said.
Andi and Teddy were surprised to hear this and Andi asked curiously, "Who were the four that accused Lord Stark's daughter of being Harriet? "
"I think their names were Molly Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley and his wife, Hermione Granger-Weasley. They had ambushed Lord Draco Malfoy who had a business meeting with Lord Stark." The woman said.
Teddy walked towards the people that were trying to close to the heroes. He made it to them and he was amazed by seeing them in person.
"Hello." A male voice said.
Teddy looked to see a man dressed in black and purple with a Hawk across his chest and knew who he was instantly then he said, "Hello."
"I'm Hawkeye." Clint said.
"My name is Teddy Lupin." Teddy told him.
"Your Draco Malfoy's young cousin, aren't you?" Another male voice said.
Teddy turned to see Iron Man and nodded then he heard a female voice say, "Dad, you realize that your in your Iron Man suit still?"
Teddy saw a woman was now standing next to Hawkeye.
"I know, Nix. I didn't exactly have time to change out of it when Jarvis informed me that you and Birdbrain were sort of in trouble." Tony said.
"Birdbrain? I thought his name was Hawkeye?" Teddy said suddenly.
Phoenix looked to see Teddy and smiled at him. The she said, "My father likes to give people nicknames at times; Hawkeye has two and so do the other Avengers."
"Nix, shouldn't we find his parents?" A blonde in a blue jump suit questioned.
"Cap, sure that she's near by." Nix said.
Hulk looked at the little boy and said, "Hulk find little boy nice like Nix."
Teddy was surprised to see the Hulk. Then he heard the woman named Nix say, "Spider-Man, thanks for the webbing earlier."
Before Spider-Man could answer; they all heard a woman say, "Teddy?!"
"Over here, grandma!" Teddy said.
Andi was shocked to see Teddy with the Avengers well part of them.
"Grandma, this is Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Hawkeye, and Spider-Man." Teddy said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all." Andromeda said.
Phoenix smiled at Teddy and said, "How would you like to take picture with the Avengers?"
Teddy's eyes went wide and looked at his grandma and asked, "May I grandma?"
"I don't see what not." Andi said.
So, Phoenix decided to setup the camera and set a self timer. In which, everyone got into the picture. However, just as the camera flashed; Hawkeye decided to steal a kiss from Phoenix.
Phoenix blinked afterwards because she had not been expecting that to happen and Iron Man along with Spider-Man looked like they were in shock at what had just happened.
Teddy watched Phoenix who seemed a bit dazed from her sudden kiss walk over to the camera and printed the picture out for Teddy to back to London with him.
Andi seemed concerned for the young woman and asked, "Is she okay?"
"Um...I believe she was caught off guard; however, I think Hawkeye should run." Steve said.
"Why should Hawkeye run when he could probably fly?" Teddy questioned.
"Well, Iron Man is sort of an overprotective Dad to his daughter and Spider-Man sees Phoenix as his sister and they tend to overreact a bit." Steve said.
"Hulk thinks birdman needs clipped wings for stealing flaming bird first kiss." Hulk said.
"Thanks for the idea, Hulk." Tony said.
Clint began to run as he realized what was happening with both Iron Man and Spider-Man chasing him.
"Cap, is Dad and Spider-Man chasing Hawk?" Phoenix said as she handed the picture to Teddy.
"They are chasing him; Nix." Steve said.
Teddy took the picture and started laughing which had everyone looking at him.
"Teddy, what's so funny?" Andi asked curiously.
"Hawkeye is kissing Phoenix in the picture." Teddy answered.
Phoenix looked and sure enough Clint had indeed kissed her which had caught her off guard. She began laughing as well as she realized what Hawkeye did.
"Nix, what's so funny?" Steve asked curiously.
"I think Hawkeye did that just to get a reaction out of Dad because he wondered how Dad would react to him kissing me." Phoenix said.
"I believe you are correct, Ms. Stark which I had a pleasure of sending the copy of the photo to your mother as well."
"Jarvis?! You didn't!" Phoenix said.
Andi and Teddy wondered who exactly Phoenix was talking to; when suddenly, the a phone ring. They watched as Phoenix answered the phone and answered, "Hello?"
"Nix, Jarvis sent me a picture of the Avengers in York Alley and imagine my surprise when I saw Hawkeye kissing you in the picture and saw your father's and Spider-Man's reaction to was hilarious; but I could tell that Hawkeye caught you by surprise."
"Yeah, he did and now, Dad and Spider-Man are chasing him around York Alley, Mom." Phoenix said.
"I can see that happening because Hawkeye is like a big kid like you're father at heart at times. Although, I think that Hawkeye just wanted to test the waters with giving you that kiss."
Phoenix blushed and said, "Mom, I was caught by surprise by the kiss which wasn't bad. I just didn't expect it like you didn't expect the kiss that Dad gave you that day when things got a little crazy at the Expo when the whole Vanko incident happened?"
Pepper sighed and said, "Yes and your father practically did the same thing as Hawkeye which caught me by surprise. Although, your father was in his Iron Man suit."
Moments later, Hawkeye along with Tony and Spider-Man returned to where the others were.
"So, how was the run?" Phoenix questioned looking at them.
Hawkeye, Spider-Man, and Tony were sort of out breath a bit and was trying to catch it.
"Tony?"
Tony heard his name and saw Pepper in holographic form looking at him. Then he said, "Hello, Pepper."
"Jarvis sent me a copy of the picture. So, I am aware of what happened."
Clint looked pale at hearing that.
"So, what do you think, Pep?" Tony asked curiously.
"I thought it was cute, Tony."
Tony looked at his daughter for a moment and whispered, "When did you upgrade your phone to project a holographic form?"
Phoenix just smiled and didn't say a word.
"I'm going to go. Bye, Tony and Nix."
"Bye." Tony and Nix said together.
Teddy had been amazed at everything that had happened but he seemed sad for a moment and Nix noticed this.
"Teddy, what's wrong?" Nix asked curiously.
"I just wished my godmother was here. She disappeared years ago and no one knows where she went." Teddy said sadly.
Phoenix just smiled and said, "You know, Teddy, I am sure that wherever your godmother is; she loves you very much and wants you not to worry about her."
Teddy looked at Phoenix and said, "You do favor her a bit, Ms. Stark. Would you mind if I called you Aunt Nix?"
Phoenix thought for a minute and then said, "I don't see a problem with that. However, I think you also just included the Avengers in that statement as well."
"Huh?" Teddy said confused.
Hawkeye looked at the kid and said, "What Nix is saying is that she's an Avenger as well and you just literally asked her if the Avengers could be family to you; because when you ask one Avengers, you get all of us."
Teddy's eyes went wide with shock as did Andi's eyes at hearing that that Andi said, "Thank you all, so much."
"It's our pleasure, ma'am." Steve said.
