AN: Okay, a few points before the chapter begin. I have been thinking about how this story should go. One of those being, who should the main villain be? Thinking about that, I was thinking about how the story should end. Thinking about those, I decided to end the story with less than as many chapters that will be needed to tell this story in the way that I see is best suited for it. Another thing, there will be another story with The Avengers. Anyways, enjoy.

Chapter Four: Black Widow's Dragon Surprise Part 2

Michael had no idea what was in store for him. What he was thinking about was the training that he was going to get under Black Widow. Tony gave him an idea of what he was in store for when he made that crack about her age when they first met. Tony warned him that he was going to pay for that. He didn't say that bluntly, but if you knew Tony Stark, and how he acted, you would know by the serious look on his face that he was dead serious.

He kind of had that thought in his mind as Michael moved to the Avengers training facility. He was worried about what was in store for him, and he was more than concerned about possibly letting her down. Michael was given a room that was roughly the same size that he had when he was rooming at Stark Enterprises. Natalie, Black Widow's real name, told him that when the time was right, she was going to train him, and train him hard.

He sort of knew what that meant, and it wasn't a good thought that ran through his mind. Michael grabbed some dinner, and ate it in his room, which is where he stayed for most of the night. As he was there, he couldn't help but think of Melody, his "sister" that he left back home. Michael did miss her, and he wanted to bring her out here, but he wondered if that was going to be allowed. As for his other friends and family? Whenever he thought about them, the people that he was supposed to support and love, and vice versa, that got him furious.

He didn't want to think about it for any longer than he should think about it. He came here willingly, and if his friends, family and loved ones would have treated him a little bit better, maybe he would not have been as anxious to come out here as he was. As the dark night came around, he changed into his night clothes, and climbed into his bed. Michael laid there for a few minutes, and dosed off to sleep.

His peaceful sleep was ended when a sharp blow to his head caused him to bolt up with a start. It took a few moments for his eyes to adjust to the brightness of the room. Michael soon saw Natalie, Black Widow, standing over him, an angry look on her normally pretty face.

"Rise and shine." She told him, literally kicking him off of the bed.

"Tony said you had some stuff that can really work for the Avengers, but I don't believe it." She said. "So, until you show me just what you can do, I am train you hard. Get ready, and meet me out on the track. If you are so much as a second late, you are going to regret it. Big time."

Michael, who was still trying to adjust to being rudely awakened, saw her walk out of his room, and shut the door loudly behind her.

"Boy, I am really starting to regret that old joke I made about her earlier." Michael said to himself. He got himself ready, and damn near sprinted to the track, knowing that she really meant what she said to him.

Natalie saw Michael rushed to the track, and smirked as she saw the fear in his eyes as he approached her.

"Good. At least you are punctual." She said. Michael saw that she was only dressed in a tank top and running shorts. Being a teen, of course that got his attention, for obvious reasons. Michael turned away from her, and took a look around the track. It was a fairly big one, and he knew that he was going to have to run this thing. How many times, he didn't know.

"Alright, start running." She told him.

"How long?" Michael asked her.

"Until I tell you to stop." Natalie said. "Go!"

Michael sighed, and began to run. I am really regretting this... He told himself.

Natalie could only smile as she saw Michael continuously run around the large track. For everything that she thought about him, for being so young, he really did show some stamina. She wasn't going to let him off the hook so easily, though, so she just let him keep running. After about an hour or so running, she motioned for him to come over. Almost out of breath, he obliged.

"Tired, huh?" She teased.

"Yes, I am." Michael said, catching his breath, or at least trying to.

"Fine. I figured that you might have had enough for today." Natalie said. "By no means am I done with you, though."

"I know." Michael said, breathing deeply.

"Come on. Let's get something into you before you die of exhaustion." Natalie said, giving him a smile.

Michael could only smile back, finally feeling a little relieved.

It was just like with Tony, although she never said it first hand, or even knew about Michael and Tony's first experience with that power that he so called had. She knew that there was something about him that she was going to see, but from what Tony showed her, Michael had incredible power, but she wanted to see it first hand for herself, and not on a video screen.

During a little lull in the day, Michael managed to tell her about a story that his grandmother told him about the power that he supposedly has. From what he remembered, she told him that he will have all of his powers once there is a dragon tattoo on his left arm. He was very vague about what else can be expected, but he did remember that it had something to do with the full moon. This was all he can recollect, seeing as how this was told to him when he was around five or so.

This was all well and good, because at least it gave her an explanation as to where his "powers" supposedly came from. Alas again, she wanted to see what he was capable of first hand. How? Well, that is the question that she is going to answer on her own.

"So, how is he doing?" Tony asked Natalie. He decided to see how Michael was doing, but more so to see if he was still alive after everything and her training him.

"For a kid, he is in shape and has some endurance." She said, honestly. "I haven't seen anything that says otherwise. Still, I want to see how he acts in the field to see where he stands along with the big boys."

"That isn't going to be a problem." Tony said, clasping his hands behind his head. "He has the skill, we know that. The problem is getting that power out of him."

"How? How do we do that?" Natalie asked him.

"I don't know." Tony said, shrugging his shoulders. "I honestly do not have a slightest idea how we do that."

The next night, Natalie wanted to go and talk to Michael, just to get a gage on what he was about. So there she was, walking to his room, when he suddenly stepped out, and began walking towards the exit. He was dressed in his pajamas, still, and he walked right passed her. He looked as though he was in a trance, which would explain why he walked passed her without even acknowledge the presence of herself.

Michael stood outside of Stark Enterprises, just staring at the full moon.

"Michael? Are you alright?" Natalie asked, slowly approaching him. As soon as she got close to him, she saw that his arm was glowing red, mostly from the tattoo on his left arm. It took the shape of a dragon, and it started just short of his hand, and ran all the way up his arm, and appeared to end somewhere on his back.

"The moon shall chose the Dragon Warrior, and I have been chosen." Michael appeared to say, but while it came out of Michael's mouth, that clearly was not his voice.

"Michael?" Natalie asked, growing a little concerned and taking a step back as a precaution.

Natalie watched in both astonishment, and amazement as Michael transformed into a very large white dragon. He towered over her, and turned to her, staring at her with those green eyes that replaced his blue ones.

He tilted his head to the side, just continuing to look at her.

"Come with me." That voice from before said.

Natalie stood there, contemplated even doing this, but soon enough, she climbed up onto his back, and they soon flew off.

As Michael, in his dragon form flew, she couldn't help but to notice how majestic it was, flying on the back of this dragon. He flew through the sky without care, but was careful enough to stay out of sight of anyone that might see what, or who they were. She couldn't help but to think, with such a young man, he was able to be on the level of some adults. Well, let's hold off on that for a moment. Michael might be able to do that, but until he is put in the field with the rest of them.

Soon enough, they came to a clearing, and Michael landed, and she climbed off of his back. Before she could even say anything, Michael turned back into his human form, and collapsed a few feet from her. Natalie rushed to his side, and realized not only was he alright, but he fell asleep. She couldn't help but to chuckle at this sight. She just sat near him, and watched him rest.

He was going to be a good addition to the team, that's for sure.
