Chapter 5: I Can Fight!
Lizzie smiled as she polished her shield, listening to her parents argue with the others about her training, and whether or not she was ready to work in the field with them. Tony was currently in a headlock, still fussing with Steve even then. Nicole shook her head, yelling at them in German, while Natasha tried to calm her. Finally the girl got up and walked over, silencing them with a scoff.
"Uh guys, don't you think I should decide? After all it vill affect me the most."
Steve growled. "No!"
Nicole glared at him. "She is strong enough Steve!"
"I'm not letting her!"
"Get over it! She is mein daughter zoo!" the other exchanged looks as the woman's German accent came back in full force. "She est strong enough zo fight! Let her come vith us, und she'll prove her strength! Jou can nicht keep her heir zo be a housevife!"
"I'm not doing that! I just want to make sure she is ready so she doesn't get hurt!"
Thor shook his head. "Brother Steve I do not think there is need to worry. The maiden is quite strong!"
Natasha nodded. "I taught her so I know she is."
Bruce pulled his glasses off. "She really is. Besides Steve, we've all seen her train."
Clint put a hand on her shoulder. "You're out numbered Capt."
The man pouted, obviously upset. "But…"
Lizzie smiled and hugged him. "Hey, daddy I know you don't vant me to grow up any faster than I did, but it's time you let me join you."
"Aw…" he huffed, but kissed the top of her head. "Fine… But you get so much as a dislocated arm and you're restricted to the house."
"Fine." she grinned. "But I'm sure you von't have to vorry about me. I'm strong like my daddy~"
"Hey vhat about your Mutti?!" Nicole looked hurt. "I had to give birth to you! You better say you got it from me too!"
"Of course Mutti~" she smiled. "Ich liebe dich."
"Ich liebe dich auch Honig." Nicole went to hug her, but snarled when an alarm went off.
Steve frowned, looking down at his daughter. "Well, here you go…"
"Sweet! So vhere to?!" Lizzie grinned, picking up her shield to put on her back.
"Slow down there tiger," Tony checked the computer. "It's some more ex-SHIELD bastards."
Bruce walked over. "Looks like they've got some A.I.M. robots with them."
Steve growled, taking off to get his uniform. "Let's go!"
Nicole took off after him, but the others were surprised when Lizzie walked out onto the balcony. She went straight to the edge, making the others follow in shock.
"Lizzie!"
"What are you doing?!"
She smirked, hopping up on the rail. "Gotta catch my ride."
Natasha saw her lock a pouch on her belt, the one she had her cell phone in. "What? Who did you-"
They gasped and dashed over when she jumped, but were relieved when they saw she had been caught by Sam. The man laughed at her, but she only grinned and let him carry her toward their target.
Boy, were her parents in for a surprise.
