"What a bunch of weirdos…" Dianne said as she and Jessie stood up.
"Wait…am I weird?" Jessie asked innocently as she walked behind her friend to leave the Stark Tower.
There was a special floor for the Avengers at the Stark tower and everybody was sitting there in their big round table.
"Why do we have to coach these kids again?" Steve asked, he wasn't very sure of training someone whose abilities were very different from his. He didn't considered himself as a superhero, after all, he was a product from an experiment. He would think of himself as a lab rat.
"Because we're getting old and we need someone to take care of our butts" Tony replied.
"I'm not patient with kids…"Natasha spoke while looking out the window "But something is certain and that is, we need support with what's going on outside" She turned her eyes to the others.
"Talking about support, where is the demigod?" Clint sat down on the couch and turned on the tv on the sports channel. "Oh great the Yankees won".
"Maybe dealing with his adopted brother…" Steve said as he laughed. "What if Loki escaped from Asgard again?" he wondered.
"Why would he come to the Earth again? He tried to made everybody kneel before him but failed…it doesn't make sense if he comes back, we would only kick him out of here again" Tony replied to the Cap.
"Who knows, maybe he got an ally this time" Bruce spoke with his calm tone as always. "The thing is that, these kids are what we really need…we won't last forever guys" He said taking off his glasses and looking at them. Natasha sighed and looked down, what Bruce was saying was true, they needed a new group of Avengers and SHIELD was taking action since the last battle. If one of them died, they would be easier to bring down.
"Banner's right…" Clint turned to look at them and suddenly the elevator opened up making everybody's gaze turn. It was Fury who had arrived with an envelope in his hands which he put down in the table and everybody sat down.
"In this envelope, you will find who you're going to be coaching…" Fury spoke while Tony opened the envelope; he took out 6 folders and grabbed the one with his name as he passed the others. "They will need physical training, all of their information is there, you will find their main abilities and antecedents, maybe you'll find some criminal records in there" Steve looked at him like saying "what the hell?". "It was a joke Steve…but maybe you'll find some of their history there, good luck with the babysitting guys" Fury waved at them and left by the elevator back to the floor that Tony had borrowed them for all that SHIELD bases they needed.
"I don't like spiders…" Steve said as he read down the paper inside the folder.
"Looks like Thor arrived…" Natasha said as she looked out the window again, there was a huge mass of dark clouds coming right above New York.
"I wonder what is he gonna think when he knows Fury's plan" Clint replied.
The city was bright at night, of course New York never slept, a man in a tuxedo walked down the street, he wore a gray and black scarf around his neck and a coat that almost touched the floor. The people would stare at him as he kept going, his black straight hair and blue eyes would attract everyone's attention. He carried a scepter with a beautiful blue gem in it, no wonder he could be any rich person heading to a play in Broadway or just a poser. He turned in a corner and headed in a straight line down the alley, it was dark and the only light he had was the blue gem on his scepter. He arrived to the end of the alley where there was an old door, he pushed it and closed it behind him as he entered and walked down the stairs. He found another door at the end of the stairs but this time was a metal one, he placed a hand on it and the door would vanish to let him enter and then it was closed again, blocked.
"What did you find out?" A deep voice spoke from the heights, there were stairs all over the place and bases, it was very tall, actually it was part of a tower in its time.
"This is not going to work… they're gathering more people…" The man sat down on a step then the deep voice laughed.
"Are you desperate, demigod?" was the voice's reply "How come, your brother would get you again…The God of Thunder" a deep soar laugh filled the place making echo. "And you, you're The God of…Pranks?" the voice laughed louder.
"Shut up!... this is perfect." He had organized his thoughts "They're gathering young people…with the same type of abilities and skills" the demigod said "my brother and his team would be very busy dealing with them…that will make them distracted from what's happening on the outside…" the blue-eyed man stood up being very sure of his words "And besides, they think I'm still in the prison of Asgard…and they don't even know about your existence" he smiled to the roof as a pair of red eyes looked down at him.
"What is your plan…Loki?" The high light of the roof would illuminate just the silhouette of a very tall and strong man covered with a hood and Loki's expression turned darker.
Stark Tower
The sky over New York City was dark, and cloudy, a sudden storm was coming over the zone.
Jessie Barton, saw the sun set over the cloudy sky and the beautiful skyline of the city from her bedroom's panoramic window, all of the new team's bedrooms and other zones of theirs were located on the floors 60-62 of Stark Tower, so you could se a pretty good view of the city skyline.
She turned to have a complete look of her room, it was so pretty or at least she believed that, it was themed between the colors blue and purple, her bed faced the window so you could be just lying there and watch outside calmly, also there was a private bathroom, a big flat screen TV, a closet with really good space to even fit a shopalcoholic clothes and shoes and finally some other furniture.
Jessie lay on her bed and sighed a little, the training was beginning tomorrow and was nervous although she had being around in the Tower since two weeks ago at the beginning of Spring Break, at first she didn't thought her parents would had let her come but for her luck, her uncle: Clint Barton, convinced her parents.
"Mother of god, I feel so irritated today" Dianne Clovers came into her room with a big bitchy face like every normal day.
"Aren't you every day?" Jessie laughed, Dianne was the closest to a friend she had here "Wanna watch a movie?".
"If we watch some other of your chick-flicks, I swear I'm gonna puke" the other girl said annoyed.
"Nah, maybe something scary" Jessie smiled, they both got out to the hall that connected all of the rooms to a dinner room, a small kitchen and some kind of drawing room in which there was the elevator.
"By the way, where are the others?" the thin girl asked Dianne.
"What should I know?" she shrug her shoulders "I think Marshall and the other one...are in their rooms, the spider it's I don't know and the sassy-ass girl is working…I don't know" Dianne laughed and sat on the sofa in front of the big TV.
"I'm a sassy what?!" both of the girls turned from where the voice came to discover a very upset Liv standing in the elevator door's.
"You heard it" Dianne answer her without giving it much importance, Liv had that kind of face when someone wants to punch something hard or kill someone.
"Can we please just let this go, and have a good night with movies and maybe take-out food?" Jessie with her always positive attitude came into.
"No, you know what?, You're right there's always gonna be bitches" Liv smiled bitch-ly and began to walk towards the hall to her room, going in slapping her door hard.
"Was it really necessary, Dianne?" Jessie rolled her eyes.
"Like she said, there's always gonna be bitches, so let's just watch the movie" Jessie sat not so comfortable after that awkward talk…if you could say it was conversation.
"So where you from?" Marshall was helping Jamie get installed into his room, so practically unpacking and get everything into place was part of the deal.
"Oh, Texas but my family moved here when I was like..5, and you?" Jamie asked him.
"Just some forgotten little town, born and raised, until two years ago I came here to live with my older brother, supposedly my parents with the excuse of "living the life of the big city" just lame excuse to get rid of me" he laughed.
"Then in that case, I think your parents and mine should take tea or go out together they would get along just fine" Jamie smiled finally he had some conversation that was not so awkward.
"Holy Jesus, you have a lot of books and movies" Marshall looked at the box he had in front of him that was full of titles he hadn't even heard in his entire life.
"Hey, wanna go out and get dinner?" Liv came into Jamie's room, still with her upset face.
"What's wrong?" Jamie noticed his best friend face.
" Nothing, I just wanna get out of this place for a little while" she lied.
"Oh, give it a rest, what's upsetting you?, you were out the whole evening working." Liv knew she had to tell him.
"Well, nothing very important…trust me, I just need to get out before I hit someone in the face and it won't be good" the girl had that menace look.
"Okay, let's go, I'm so hungry I could eat a whole cow now" they got out of the room without any other word.
A bright thunder hits over the landing zone for helicopters over Stark Tower, out of thin air a big hulky shadow appears in the landing zone, big angry eyes look at the room that's connect to the landing zone with a bridge, the man walks directly to the room with big and firm step.
" WE NEED TO TALK" the hulky man entered the Avengers common area with his voice aloud.
"Glad to see you too, Thor" Natasha rolled her eyes.
"Something unthinkable has happened, that I'm afraid to inform you" Thor's concerned look make everyone take him serious out of the whole times he has come like this to them this seemed more…way more serious.
"Let me guess…Loki escaped Asgard and you suspect he may be here" Tony interrupt the asgardian and make his typical sarcasms face.
"Yes, he did escaped and yes I do suspect he's here, the thing is he didn't escape without any type of help, he received help from the Chiaturis" the blonde tall man spoke being sure of what he was saying.
"Those alien things from last time?" the cap asked and Thor only nodded.
"Does that guy never give up? I mean, we will kick his butt outta here again with no problems" Tony smiled.
"He's not alone, man of iron" Thor spoke with a normal tone of voice.
"Well I think Fury might be on it's way with the research already" Steve spoke and stood up crossing his arms.
"Here, this is yours" Bruce handed Thor a folder with his name on it, the blonde guy took it kind of confused and Bruce left to the lab. Thor opened the folder and looked in the inside…then he just frowned.
"What is a medium?" Thor asked.
