AN: I already have another story in mind for this "series" that I plan on doing. Of course, I have to finish this story before I continue on. I know that with this story about the Avengers, that just about five chapters is on the short side, but that kind of was intended. After all, this was an intro story, and I MIGHT do a sequel. With that said, let's finish this story, shall we?

Quick Note: From what I learned, Black Widow was referred to both Natasha and Natalie, so if I got that wrong, I apologize for that.

Chapter Five: The Dragon Avenger

It was not needed to be said, but it kind of had to be stated. They had one hell of a new recruit on their hands. By they, The Avengers. Tony brought this kid in, and he had an idea of what he was capable of, because he did his homework on him. Natasha, the Black Widow and his training partner, was skeptical of his 'talents'. Of course, as she sat there, with his sleeping head at her feet, she saw first hand he worth everything that was said about him. There was still the question of his untapped potential.

What they, she and Tony, saw was that Michael was able to transform into a pure white dragon, and do massive damage to whatever he had his sights on. The main issue was how to trigger that power, and how to control it. Those points were going to be addressed in due time. Natasha looked over at Michael, and smiled. Even though he was a kid, he had a hell of a lot of potential for someone that was on the young side of age. There was one thing that had to be obvious to everyone.

They had one hell of an Avenger on their hands.

"So, you saw it first hand, huh? How was it?" Tony asked Natasha as they returned to Stark Enterprises.

"He was able to fly in a majestic way. Amazing, and he is only a kid." Natasha said.

"He's older than a kid. He's right about sixteen." Tony said.

"How did the others take it?" Natasha asked him.

"I'm sorry. What?" Tony said, a little caught off guard by the question.

"How did the other Avengers take it when you told them about Michael?" Natasha asked Tony.

"I did not tell them a thing." Tony said. Natasha put her hands on her hips, and was about to read him the riot act when he continued.

"There's more to his power than meets the eye." Tony said. "He has psychokinesis, and element manipulation powers."

"How did you figure that out?" Natasha asked him.

"I had an interesting conversation with his grandmother. Her husband, his grandfather, gave him the powers when he was young. Then she asked why Michael was out here. When I explained exactly who I was-" Tony paused for a moment, and cringed hard before continuing, "-she began using almost every swear word known to man."

"Every swear word?" Natasha asked.

"Probably, I stopped listening when I had to fight the ringing in my ears." Tony said. Natasha laughed, and Tony smiled, but his smile was replaced by a more serious look.

"I already told Steve that we have a new recruit, and I told him enough about Michael to get him to come and meet him." Tony said. "Michael came up with a great idea as to how to introduce himself to Steve."

"How?" Natasha asked him. Knowing Tony, this was going to be good.

"Wait and see." Tony said, a smile on his face.

Steve Rogers, A.K.A. Captain America, was summoned to Stark Enterprises by Tony Stark for some reason. That reason being was that Tony wanted to introduce him to the 'newest Avenger', so to speak. The guy's name was Michael Harris, and from what Tony and Natasha told him, this guy was someone that had serious power. He had to see for himself what this guy was all about.

So he went to the cafeteria, and saw that it was oddly empty, except for one kid that was sitting at a table, eating something or whatever. He had long blonde hair, and he looked like the guy that Tony and Natasha were describing to him. Steve didn't think that this was the guy that they were talking about, so he sat at the opposite end of the cafeteria, not even acknowledging the kid that was sitting in there with him. He was in there because Tony told him to wait in there until he introduced him to Michael.

Of course, Michael was the guy in there with Steve, and Michael smiled, knowing that Steve was not aware of that.

"I take it that you are here for Tony, right?" Michael said, not introducing himself.

"Yeah, who are you supposed to be?" Steve asked him.

"No one important, but Tony said that Captain America would be here soon enough." Michael said. Knowing that Steve was Captain America, he decided to go a little bit further.

"From what I heard, this guy's powers are far greater than Captain America's." Michael said.

"I doubt it." Steve said.

"I have seen comparisons, and Michael is better, by a country mile." Michael said.

"Really?" Steve said. He smiled, and braced himself for what he was about to do, then smiled. Then he turned his back to the kid, picked up a cafeteria table, and flung it right over his own head. Steve was about to call out to the kid, then he turned around, and saw the kid holding the table on the tip of his finger.

"What the hell?" Steve said in disbelief.

"See, I told you that the kid was better." Michael said, flicking the table on the ground.

At this point, Tony and Natasha entered the cafeteria, and Steve immediately approached them.

"I take it that you met Michael Harris?" Tony asked him, a smile on his face.

"What!?" Steve said in disbelief. "This is a kid!"

"A kid with potential, as you just saw with your own eyes." Natasha said.

"The newest Avenger? Him, are you serious?" Steve laughed.

During his conversation with Natasha and Tony, Michael walked over to Steve, who had his back to him. Before Steve had time to react, Michael had Steve on the ground, due to Michael tripping him.

"See? I told you I was better than you." Michael said, with a laugh.

This was going to get interesting before it was over.

BACK IN MALIBU

Ever since Michael left, things didn't change much. His friends and family, along with Miley and her family and friends. They heard rarely from him, and to be honest, this is coming from Melody, he really didn't care to tell them what was happening. Michael told her that he loved his life now, and was not planning on coming back.

That was one thing, now here is the other one.

Melody felt as though she lost her protector. See, Michael always looked out for her, like what a big brother should do. Now he was gone, and she felt helpless. Here's the thing, Melody and Jake Ryan was never going to get along, because for one, she knew that he was badmouthing Michael whenever he got the chance, and the other thing was that Miley knew that he was doing this, and she let him do it, like she did not even care about Michael at all.

Something had to be done, and Michael was the one to do it.

The students filed into the auditorium as they were instructed to, because there was a major announcement that had to be made. There was no idea by anyone what was about to be said, or done, but it was going to be good, at least in some of the students eyes.

"What is going on?" Miley asked, as she took a seat next to Jake.

"What do you think is going to happen?" Oliver asked, leaning back towards the two.

"I have no idea, but anything to get out of class, I am all for." Jake responded. The stage had everything set up like it was going to be a speech made by someone important.

As everyone was seated, the lights dimmed a little, and then a man in a suit appeared on stage.

"Well, hello Seaview High. For those of you who do not know who I am, I go by the name of Tony Stark, owner and CEO of Stark Enterprises." Tony said, getting a round of applause.

"Okay." Tony said, taking a deep breath, and smiling before continuing. "If you know the Avengers, you wold know that I am one of them. For the past few months, myself and Black Widow have been training the newest Avenger. Seeing as how he is a former student at this school, I would like to introduce him to you all."

Soon enough, dressed in a white suit, glasses, and his hair in a ponytail, Michael Harris stepped out on the stage, and he looked around, and smirked. He stepped to Tony, shook his hand, and stepped aside as Michael took his place at the microphone.

"Well, I see that some of you are genuinely surprised at what I am doing here." Michael said. "See, I wasn't living up to my full potential sitting here at this school, but Tony came and helped me find my full potential, and I have him to thank for that."

Michael scanned the crowd, and saw someone. A smile crossed his face.

"I want to thank a close friend of mine, and that is someone who helped me leave and become a better man. Jake Ryan, come on up here." Michael said.

Jake looked around briefly, and slowly walked up to the stage. Michael shook his hand, and glad handed with him.

Jake smiled as well, not knowing what was coming.

Michael stopped shaking his hand, and leaned into the microphone to speak again.

"Jake, I have something for you, and for what you did to me, you had this coming." Michael said.

He walked over to where Jake was standing, and punched him in the face. Almost everyone, including Tony was shocked. Well, Tony kind of knew that was coming. Michael waved to his former classmates, and casually walked off stage. Tony waved, and left as well.

Tony, Pepper, Michael, and Natasha was on the plane heading back to Stark Enterprises, while Tony told Natasha what happened at the assembly with Michael and Jake Ryan.

"Basically, Michael punched Jake right on the stage." Tony said.

Natasha looked from Tony to Michael in disbelief. "Really?"

"Yeah, that happened." Michael said, smiling. "I was planning that for a while."

"What happened between you and Jake that would make you do something like that?" Pepper asked him.

"Honestly? He took the girl that I liked from me." Michael said. "Besides that, he is the biggest asshole in California."

"Well, it looks as though you certainly left a mark on him that he won't forget." Tony said.

"He had it coming." Michael said. "After everything he has and will do to me and her, the worst is in store for him. Trust me."

"Okay, so, what is your future now that you are an Avenger?" Pepper asked.

"Focus on my new life. Plain and simple." Michael said. "My family is in my past, and now the Avengers are my future."

"That's one way of putting it." Tony said, giving him a smile. Tony entered the cockpit for a moment, then he came back and took a seat.

"Well, change of plans." Tony said, taking a deep breath.

"What?" Michael asked.

"That was Nick. We are heading out to S.H.I.E.L.D because the other Avengers want to meet you." Tony said.

"Really? Now?" Michael asked in disbelief.

"Of course." Tony smiled. "Let's go meet your new teammates."

Michael returned his smile, knowing that this new adventure was just getting off the ground.

THE END...for now

AN: I already decided to do a sequel for this story, so I might as well end it right here. I will post the new story as soon as I get it well planned out, so be on the lookout for it.
