Hello, I'm back so sorry this took like forever. Anyways I'm breaking the story into parts just for convenience sake, so chapters 1-6 were part one which was more of an introduction and hey they are back and getting settled in MCU without a real story arc. So chapter seven is the first chapter of part 2 I don't know how many chapters there will be in it at this point. Hopefully my writing has improved since the last time I updated this story. Okay I'll shut up now so you can read the story.

Disclaimer: I still don't own anything Marvel, just my OCs and storyline

Chapter Seven

A pile of books spread across the table in front of Clara. She was attempting to complete her math homework. Unfortunately her efforts were not being met with much success. The numbers and symbols were becoming a blur in front of her face. She had been staring at the same page for about half an hour and the problems weren't making any more sense to her than they had before.

She had considered asking someone to help, of course, but the last time she had done that she had ended up multiple people trying to explain something to her and even more confused than she had been before. Even if she just asked Caroline without anyone else getting involved she still often was only slightly less confused. Caroline was smart and all, but she had a tendency to over complicate just about every explanation she made. A trait Clara was pretty sure was only getting worse, thanks to Tony and Bruce. No, it was better to just wait until tomorrow morning, when she could go see her Geometry teacher for tutoring. There was certainly no point in wasting any more time trying to figure it out.

She snapped the book shut and dropped it into her backpack. She had already finished the rest of her homework, which fortunately had made sense.

Outside it was dumping rain. Storm clouds filled the sky blocking out all the stars. Though, when she thought about it, she couldn't really see the stars anyway from her large window. All the city lights had a tendency to block out the stars even from this height. The rain had been coming down all day, getting worse as the day wore on.

The weather suited her mood. Lately life had been getting more and more irritating.

The team had become split on whether or not it was such a good idea to have the girls living in the Avengers tower or even have them on the team. While the girls undeniably were powerful and useful to have around there was the unavoidable fact that they were still only fifteen and were being taken care of by not the most stable group of people. At one point in time someone had suggested having the girls put in a foster care until they were eighteen, when they could then rejoin the team. Caroline and Clara had both immediately rejected the idea. They were just as much a part of the team as anyone else, and certainly did not want to end up in foster care. At the moment they were sort of at a stalemate and to be perfectly honest Clara wasn't even sure what side most of the team was on. It was more an argument between Caroline and the arbitrary force of SHIELD. While SHIELD might have the authority to tell them what to do they didn't exactly have the ability to enforce that authority over Caroline. The fact that it was mostly uncertain as to who thought what only made things worse.

It wasn't just the that though. There was also the fact that life had become boring and uneventful. This had been all well and good when in her universe but in the Marvel Universe it terrible. While back in her universe she had become readjusted to normal everyday life. When she and Caroline had been pulled back into MCU she had been hoping for a little more excitement though, and had been gravely disappointed. It was one thing for nothing terribly eventful happening when you don't expect anything to happen, but when nothing terribly eventful happens when you are expecting for something to happen it's almost unbearable.

In short, Clara felt like she was going slowly insane from the ever present tension and lack of something happening.

A few minutes later she heard a knock on her door. "Come in," Clara called, plopping down on her bed.

The door opened and Caroline stepped into the room. "Hey," she said smiling. "You want to go investigate a situation that happened at a SHIELD base earlier today?"

"Sure," Clara agreed, standing back up. Anything was better than just sitting around doing nothing, even if this just turned out to be nothing. They hadn't gone on a single assignment the entire time they had been back that had been actually eventful. They hadn't gone on anything recently at all. This was mainly because there hadn't been anything that needed attention of the Avengers. "What happened?"

"I'll tell you on the way," Caroline said. "We're leaving in two minutes, so suit up." Caroline then went back to her room. She was perfectly furious at all the Avengers except Clara. The agreement had been that they would discuss whether the girls would go on each mission and then make the decision as a team. Instead of following through with this agreement though someone had decided to just not tell the girls and the rest of team had agreed to it! She shattered a small statue in frustration; breaking it down to the molecular level and then taking a deep breath rebuilt it.

She snapped her fingers. Yellow light swirled surrounded her, and her Infinity outfit formed around her, which was essentially jeans with golden streaks which were tucked into dark brown boots that went halfway to her knee, a light blue long-sleeve shirt with an infinity sign made of golden rhinestones, which would never come off, and a pair of super awesome sun glasses that she could basically access anything with. This included Jarvis's cameras, which was how she had found out about the whole mission thing.

A few seconds later Clara came in. Her outfit was similar only the boots were back, the jeans had black streaks on them and her shirt was dark blue with white swirls.

"You ready?" Caroline asked.

"Duh," Clara said, rolling her eyes. They held hands and together flew through the window of Caroline's room and towards the ocean, quickly picking up speed. "So where are we going?"

"China," Caroline answered. "The base was attacked by very unusual snakes."

"What?!"

"The base was attacked by very unusual snakes. You apparently turn to stone or metal if they bite you, though the snake does as well."

"Creepy"

"Talk about it."

"Are the others going to?" Clara asked.

"Yeah," Caroline responded. "But they're not planning on us showing up."

"What do you mean," Clara asked though she was pretty sure she knew what Caroline saying.

"Only that they decided to leave out of the mission without even telling us about it," Sarcasm and disgust starting to slip in. "You know nothing that important."

"No way!"

"Yes way, I have video of them all deciding to do that."

"But why?" Clara exclaimed. "We are just as much a part of the team as they are."

"Because we're 'just kids shouldn't be involved in this stuff'"

"What?! Wait who is on what side here?"

"Steve and Nat agree with SHIELD and think that we should be put in a foster care system or something, which is ridicules. Clint doesn't want us to go on any missions but doesn't that sending us away is a good idea either. Bruce wants to 'stay out of it' and Tony on our side though that maybe just because he likes to disagree, especially with SHIELD." Clara smiled at Caroline's last point.

"It's not that bad though," Clara said, after a minute. "I mean we're still going on the mission and for all their opinions it's not like they can really make us do anything."

Caroline grinned. "True and I'd kind of like to see them try."

"I'd rather they just get it through their brains that we are never going to have anything remotely close to a normal life ever again so they might as well let us be a part of their already formed group of superheroes if we want to be!" Clara exclaimed.

"That'd be nice too," Caroline agreed.

The rest of the trip was spent in relative silence. Clara was wishing that she had a cup of coffee, and once again envied her cousin's constant energy. It was basically impossible for Caroline to become tired. She did sleep, but it was more due to knowing that her body probably still needed sleep even if she wasn't ever tired. Caroline essentially had to tell herself to go to sleep and she did within seconds, though she would never sleep for more than few hours straight.

I wasn't long before they reached where they were heading. It was almost the middle of the day and the sun shone down brightly on them. The area was rocky with only a bush or scraggly tree scattered here and there. The rocks were gray and dull, devoid of color with only an occasional black streak.

They landed just outside the bases main walls. The solid grey structure blended in very well with the surrounding area. If you were flying by, unless you were paying close attention and looking for the base you probably wouldn't notice it at all, which, Clara realized, was probably the point. It wasn't high-tech camouflage, but for the most part it probably worked just as well anyways.

Caroline handed her cup of coffee, and Clara took it gratefully. It was slightly weird to be drinking something that had just gotten pulled into existence out of thin air, but it was something she had just learned to get used to. It didn't quite taste the same as normal coffee, but it was close enough.

"I hope that it's good," Caroline said. "I've been working on getting more accurate with coffee, but it's taste is still a bit off though I've gotten the chemical structure down to a T so it shouldn't be poisonous or anything."

"It's great," Clara assured her and Caroline nodded gratefully. Making a solid thing was one thing, but things that required a very specific chemical structure, such as basically all food, was much more complex.

They had actually arrived before the other had so they decided to wait outside. It was actually rather nice outside and there was slight breeze. The girls sat down, leaning against the wall while Clara drank her coffee.

It wasn't that much longer before they caught sight of a black plane coming. It landed a little distance away. Given the reason why they were coming, it probably wasn't the best idea to land in the middle of a place potentially swarming with a danger they didn't understand.

Nat let out a small groan when she saw the girls walking over to the plane after it had landed. Bruce started to glance worriedly between the members of the team. Steve looked a bit furious once he realized that to the two figures by the wall were the girls. Clint wasn't actually sure what he thought about the situation except that it would probably get out of hand very easily, and Tony was actually grinning. Fortunately for him nobody noticed that though.

"Hello," Caroline said her voice dripping with sarcasm. "And thank you so much for telling us about the team's new mission."

Well that's one way to put it, Clara thought.

Please, please, please review. It really doesn't take that long to sentence or two and it means a lot to me. I also just like to here what people think is going on to see story is coming off the way I am intending it to so yeah. Anyways, daringwolf2000 thank you for reviewing.
