Hey guys I've been out of school for 2 weeks, I would have updated sooner but I went camping then I just finished the chapter, it 1:45 AM. Okay I have two shout outs: two of my teacher from this previous school year. Thanks Mrs. Fry, even though you were my math teacher you did an awesome job of supporting this story. Ms. McAninch thanks for your support also, I had thought about writing a book last year,but this last school I decided that writing is what I wanted to do for a living. And to all my teachers: this last school year was the best one I've had in the past 7 years, thanks.

The next morning Stef woke up at 6:00 and went train. She didn't need to slack, she had to focus, get back on track. She had called her friend last night before bed and were coming later that day and they didn't need them to see her as a wreck. Haley had been her best friend since preschool, a talkative girl born with Down Syndrome, she has blonde hair and hazel eyes and crushes on every "cute" guy in the book. Alex's a hyperactive ginger with grey eyes and is extremely OCD. Brianne had only known Stef for 6 months in kindergarten before being diagnosed with Tourette's, with her black hair and dark brown eyes, she's a joy to have around. Lastly we have Audrey, who was paralyzed from the waist down when her drunk father tried to kidnap her, ending in a car accident, she has brown hair and aqua blue eyes.
With all there problems, plus Stef's asthma, they were a group of misfits. That's how they liked it, sure they were made fun of, picked on, and flat out bullied. But they were almost sister, they had each others backs. Stephanie didn't mind there flaws, but there personality. They were caring and plain lovable.
While Stef warmed up, she thought of the looks on their faces when they realize she lives at Stark Tower. Haley has always wanted to visit. She hadn't told them where she live, but told them to meet her at the shawarma place around the corner.
'Haley'll faint when she sees this place and Alex probably start bouncing off the wall.' Stef thought smiling. 'Sometimes I think that when it comes to science, her Down Syndrome leaves her alone.'
That was true she was a science nerd there is only one A at all times on her D average report card. She has had a fascination with Stark Industries even before Stef told her friends she's Tony's niece.
-AAAAAA-
Unknown to Stef, Nat and Clint where up and they where talking about her. Clint was sceptic, but Nat knew. Stef was hiding a huge secret. She wanted to find out if her suspicions where right.
"Don't you know it's... 6:30! Are you serious, Nat, we don't need to wake up early anymore." Clint stated annoyed.
"Clint, look at the big picture. I love Stef like she's my daughter, but we need to know if she is hiding something. And why?" She looked more annoyed than Clint.
"Why don't you go to Tony? He's the genius."
"He might be a technology genius, but when it comes to people he can be an idiot."
"True, but what are we gonna do 'bout it of she is hiding something."
"She is, I know it."
"But you just sa-"
"Shut-up! We are going to search her room, she's already up. I watched her go to the gym."
They creeped down the hall to Stef's room. They looked around the room, she had white walls and wood floors. Her queen sized bed, which she had made (I don't mean she built the bed or had it built.), was covered with a red and white striped comforter, her pillows had blue cases and on top of them was a white star shaped pillow, and on a slightly raised plat form. There was a dark wood dresser covered in snow globes and a Captain America action figure. There was an American flag pinned to the wall along with family pictures and a Captain poster. On the table beside her bed was a lamp, red and white shade, and two necklaces, she didn't want to risk Steve seeing them again, one an old round locket, the other a chain with two dog tags on them.
"You check the closet, I'll check around the bed." Tasha said.
"Roger that."
Natasha went toward the bed, she picked up the locket, but before she open it: "Nat, you need to see this!"
"What, Clint?" She walk into the closet still holding the locket (I didn't mean to rhyme).
Kneeling on the ground Clint was holding a backpack, but that's not what caught his attention, it's was that the bag held a shield, the same shield they had seen on the news multiple times. Along with it was the costume, it was kind of dirty but still the same. Nat knelt beside him and took the shield. Flipping it she saw an inscription: In Memory of Captain Steve Roger, Made by H. Stark.
"Whoa." Nat whispered.
"I know." Clint said.
"But she's ten. How can she even know how to fight?" Nat wondered out loud.
"How about you ask her?" Jumping Clint and Nat turned to see Stephanie. Though she didn't look mad, she looked like she expected it. "I should have known, I knew I should have locked my door!"
"Would you like to explain this?" Nat asked.
'No' she thought, "Do I really have a choice?"
The assassins looked at each other, "No." They coursed together.
"Didn't think so." She took a deep breath, "Come on let sit down."
They moved over to the bed and sat. Natasha, still holding the shield and locket, sat next to Stef. Clint sat on the floor in front of them. Stef had been expecting this day would happen, but why today? How will she tell them? How will they react? Was she even ready to tell?
'****!' Stef thought. "J.A.R.V.I.S. privet setting 12 code number 7833."
"Okay, time to talk. Why do you have this?" Natasha asked.
"Do you want the full story, or just the explanation of that?" Stef said.
"Full story."
"On my 5th birth-day we had gone to my grandma's house, her name is Peggy Carter."
"You mean Steve's Peggy?"
"Yes, she was going to tell me a story, grandpa's story. She told me how he want to serve his country, and he was given his shot. She told me that even with being the smallest man there and with his asthma, he was the bravest and smartest. That he was kind and that's why she fell in love with him. Then they offered him the chance to prove himself to the world. He accepted. When the experiment started, she told me how scared she got when he had screamed in pain, but he was brave and forced himself to endure it. And he had prove himself. Then he went down in the ice, not knowing that my grandmother was pregnant. When the baby was born she named him Steven Rogers, after his father."
"Steve's a dad!" Clint blurted.
"Shhhhh!" Stef sh'ed. "He doesn't know!"
"But where did you get the shield? And how can you hold it with out struggle? I mean it's not that heavy, but it'd be a lot for a ten-year-old?" Nat said.
"The shield was made by grandpa Howard, not exactly the same as the original but pretty darn close. And the reason to how I can hold it is that the SHS is passed through blood." Stef explained.
"What?!" Clint exclaimed.
"How do you know?" Nat asked.
"Me and my daddy are stronger then average people. He was half as strong as grandpa, and I'm half as strong as my dad was."
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"What did you expect? 'Hey, Captain America? Did you know you got Peggy Carter pregnant, and your my grandpa?'"
"Never mind."
"Please don't tell him, please? As far as I can tell, he's only just getting use to time now, if we drop the fact that he's my grandpa on him it might be to much."
"No prob, kid." Clint said.
"Now, since you are in here, I think you should have to help lay out the air mattresses." Stef grinned evilly.
-AAAAAA-
It was 10:00 time for Stephanie to pick up the girls. She was going to walk down to the restaurant and walk them back to the tower. Then they would freak and she'd laugh. Then Haley was either going to make Clint or Uncle Tony and Bruce uncomfortable, the latter two with question after question about science, and the rest would laugh. This was going to be awesome!
Uncle Tony was walking with her, even though she said she'd be fine. It was a 5 minute walk to the place, so they just talked about lab experiments he had done recently. She didn't mind him coming with her, but it might give the girls a hint. When they went inside there where Stephanie's friend sitting around a table with their moms.
"Hey, guys." Stef said, "This is my Uncle Tony."
"OMG, OMG! It's Tony Stark!" Haley gushed.
"Yes, Haley we see that." Audrey said, always the level headed one.
"Hello, Stephanie." Ms. Page said. "So your uncle is Mr. Stark. Hello, I'm Diane Page, Audrey's mother." She held out her hand.
"Hi." Tony shook her hand.
"Hi, I'm Haley's mom, Margaret Blake." She, too, shook Tony's hand.
As did Alex's mother when she introduced herself: "Hannah Luck."
Lastly Brianne's mom shook his hand, "Barbra Hines."
They didn't chat long, she wanted to get the girls to the tower. The walk wasn't long and Audrey, who didn't walk at all, was fine rolling herself to the tower, but she allowed the girl to take turns pushing her chair, after Stef threatened to get some rope out of her bag and tie her arms so she had to let them push her chair. When arriving at the tower, even though the girl had guessed they were going there, Haley was swooning.
'Just wait Haley,' she though, then mentally face palmed, ' Crap, I'm gonna have to fill them in when we get to my room. Let's just hope Clint and Tasha keep their promise!' She prayed.

Loki: That intro was far to mushy for me.

Me: Well that is why no one asked you.

Loki: *growl* You fil-

Me: My teachers can't take all the credit, thank you guys. If it wasn't for y'all I'd have given up long ago. Please leave a review in the review box below, and vote:

Should Stef have an science experiment go wrong? Yes or No?

If so this is a blind vote, meaning your blind to what your voting on.

Experiment one or Experiment two. R&R! Love y'all!3
