"Do you have any objection miss?" Fury asked with an authoritative tone in his voice. Nobody would deny an order from a high commander. Liv looked at Fury , then his eyes would meet Tony's. She only shrugged. "That's what I thought, now you should leave, I'll call you later…we have some serious business going around this time" Everybody left the room.
"Okay, first rule, kid" the red-headed spy told Jamie in a direct way, she had a very serious look in her eyes "You gotta move, its okay if you get frighten a little but that could cost your life, so, think and act" she smiled at him, Jamie was even sweating a little. He sure was still shocked because of the surprise challenge.
" Ok, got it" he composed himself "so what do we do now?".
"First: physical training, let's get to basic, are you even some kind of flexible?" Natasha asked him doubtfuly, he didn't look like the type of guy who did any exercise, Jamie was skinny, so skinny that the spy thought he had some eating disorder the first time she saw him.
Jamie smiled a little "Kinda" and split himself in two flexing his legs, then got up doing some strange movements with his legs and arms, that even Nat couldn't explain.
"Good, now you're giving me something to work with, let's go to the gym, I got an idea.." she re-read the folder of info about Jamie and they both got to the elevator.
"Where are you taking me?" Liv asked Tony, they were on a elevator that was so clean, and was all white, and heading down some floor judging for what Liv felt.
"I'm taking you to a special place of mine" the elevator stopped and when the doors opened it showed a big room, so big it could be a theater but it had some things here and there, like the walls, they all showed some weapons, some Liv even hadn't seen in her life " Welcome to my personal training room, it has all you can think of" the man smiled cockily.
The room had two doors one in each side of it.
"Very. Impressive" the girl said reluctant, and get in seconds to appreciate the weapons on display.
"Oh, those are some Stark weapons that didn't hit the market, so I just took them here in hope to use them to better purpose in the future" Tony said while getting into an adjacent room.
"So what's going to be our first lesson?" the teenager asked curious, she didn't think Stark would be her trainer in a million years.
"I've been reading about your powers, shadow manipulation and psychic weapons, I could train you first in the basics but since what you showed in the test was even more than what I expected, let's do something more interesting Shadow girl" Tony was fully clothed into his iron suit and motioned one of the doors and it opened immediately.
Liv followed Tony forming conclusions in her mind, she heard the doors close behind the lousy steps of Tony, and suddenly everything was dark.
"Jarvis, please light this place" he smirked in the darkness of the place, and out of nowhere the whole room was lighted up in white.
"Now what?" she knew she could beat him "Me V.S you?"
"Yes, but please focus, what's missing?" the iron suit closed fully and the electronic voice of Stark came, ready to attack.
Liv searched the room with inquisitive eyes but there was nothing to catch her attention, the room was smooth and clean like all the other training rooms.
"Focus, Liv" the man said in a pushy voice.
And suddenly there it was, like it had hit her, there was no shadow the whole place was lighten up from roof to floor like a big bulb.
"No shadow, I see, tricky Stark" Tony was impressed by the girl's answer mostly because her face was calm, that showed she knew where and when to control herself emotionally.
"Bring it" Liv said holding herself still, analyzing her possibilities, there was no shadow, not anywhere within the room.
Tony began shooting at Liv fast, and running from left to right getting closer to her rapidly, he was trying to be hard on her, Liv avoided the attack, got down and rolled herself through the floor, still trying to think, what the fuck should she use?.
Now both of them were where the other was before, Liv breathing heavily she got it, there was always a way out, the girl began running towards Iron Man, from right and left just like he did, Tony tried to shoot her at every chance, Liv knew stop moving wasn't an option, Tony tried to move to the left but suddenly Liv jump right at him and basically obstruct his vision with her tights on his face and legs closed around his head, he was ready to shoot her directly to mover her off him, but Liv was stronger than he thought, finally feeling his arm free some seconds "Yes, got'cha right where I wanted". He was ready to shoot.
Liv freed Tony's head and jump behind him still holding the man's arm and so the hit went directly to one of the walls, breaking the lights of the wall, now there was some shadows.
"Tricky, Shadow girl" Tony said impressed.
"Whenever you want Iron Ass" Liv grinned, she step back eying Tony carefully, closed her eyes a little.
Suddenly Tony felt one part of his suit, the left side to be exact cracking, smashing quickly, so he fired himself at that part and Liv step back a little, like she had felt the hit herself, Tony aimed his left hand at her, but the damn thing didn't shoot anything, and then he understood, the teenager had crushed the control wires of the suit's arm.
"Your whole suit wasn't my point, just the little details", she manipulated Tony's shadow and threw him against the wall several times, ripped the arm part of Tony's suit off and play it with in the shadows for a moment just to made it shoot at Iron Man's back shadow.
"My first lesson and I'm already kicking Iron Man's ass" she laughed.
"Jarvis get the lights" everything was darker again, so dark that Liv's face changed to concern she could manipulate someone's shadow a room full of shadow's one way to put it wasn't her comfort zone.
And out of thin air, Tony's suit was fully illuminated by it's own power, all except his left arm, Liv looked behind her where Tony was but he moved fast and the sound of his air propellers made too much echo in the place to be tracked.
"Jarvis, light's on please" the room was lighted again and Liv couldn't see Stark anywhere until she was crashed by Tony who fell on her from the ceiling, Tony had Liv's neck on his hand "Focus".
The girl's eyes showed impression "It's going to be a blast training with you, Iron Ass".
"I'm so ready" Jessie cracked her neck with focus on her eyes, both of them, her uncle: Clint Barton and her where in the roof of Stark Tower, exactly in the place which was known to be Hawkeye's favorite place: Crow's Nest a room from where everything could be watch over NYC's skyline.
"Shoot at every one of them, or they could kill everyone who's in the street for sure" Hawkeye laughed joking but her niece had a truly terrified look by the thought.
Clint had his arch and his array of arrows with him, being fast, in a matter of a minute he shoot 8 arrows up in the air in different directions.
Jessie sighed slowly and concentrates on the arrows firing at them immediately within her sight, smiling when finishing "done and done".
"You forgot one, dear" Clint pointed with his finger to one arrow that was already going down to the street.
"Damn" Jessie ran outside the Hawk's Nest, got to the edge of the roof and fired at the falling arrow, burning it "That was close"
"That was the first round, next one there will be 15 targets , you gotta be prepared to be shot from different directions, it's always one of the most common scenarios" Clint said in his as-a-matter-of-fact-face.
"It's fascinating" Bruce said to Marshall while reading Marshall's info, they were both in the personal lab of Bruce "Basically you can duplicate your own cells".
"Yup can say so, yeah" Marshall was looking with curious eyes everything in the lab from the folders, some that even said "Top Secret" in top of S.H.I.E.L.D's crest to the strange machines all over the place.
"But I have one little question" Bruce said "What's exactly your Portal Creation ability?".
"Oh, for example" he took the apple that was in front of the scientist and throw up in the air, the boy look fixated on the fruit and suddenly a little circled blue light came without any sound the apple was gone, leaving Bruce speechless.
"And I can make it appear again" the teen smiled and just above Bruce's desk the little circle opened again and the apple fell right where it was before.
"Good, now have you ever tried make anything big disappear? What's the biggest thing you have tried?" the scientist looked concentrated.
"A laptop, mine to be exact and didn't end well, I couldn't get it back" he laughed nervously remembering the unfortunate loss of his laptop.
" Now boy we have something we can work on, and we're gonna hit the gym afterwards" Bruce was followed by the boy out of the lab.
"Okay I did see you're very skilled on the corporal way, and from the way you work" Steve tried to remember all of those papers that talked the way "Spider-Man" saved people and fight.
Peter only nodded, because he was on the edge to losing control and laugh of a fanboy attack.
"Are you ok, kid?" Steve asked.
"Just " Peter began his answer almost jumping for saying something to the Cap "Can you give me your autograph later?"
Steve smiled a little and then the image of Agent Coulson came to his mind.
"What?" Peter asked seeing that the Cap was watching with lost eyes.
"Oh, nothing..you just..remind me of someone" he smiled again "But later first, focus, let's train, during this time I'm gonna make sure to give you a proper militar training"
Peter eyes widened in fear.
After some hours of push-ups, stretching, running through 15 blocks within the zone close to Stark Tower, Peter was exhausted.
"And now let's get to the interesting part, punching back a personal favorite of mine" Steve smiled still full of energy.
Peter punched the bag hardly with the little energy he had and grinned seeing how he still had some energy to do it until the punchback came again and hit him making him fall and taste the floor with his mouth wide opened.
"Crap" the boy said closing his eyes tired.
Dianne and a certain God were sit, legs double crossed on the comfortable carpet of Thor's own floor in the tower, although Thor would use it only when he visited Earth or Midgard, as he call it.
"Mr. um..Thor" how would you call a person who you only know his first name, does a god even have a last name? "What are we doing?".
"Well, I've read that you're what they call to be a medium" he said closing his eyes and doing some strange breathing noises.
"And let me guess, you want me to make a connection with the internal world, all of that..crap…thing" she smiled innocently at the hunky man.
"Well sort of" Thor didn't get the tone of sarcasm the voice of the girl had.
"To be more honest, I believe you were going to show me some fighting god-style moves" Thor smiled at Dianne.
"Then let's begin" And the next hours were intense Asgardian training, no need to say more about it.
