YAY I IS BACK AND ON MY VACATION! I took the time to redo a little of the first two chapters since I didn't have a beta reader for them. Not much change just a few corrections. Anyway Alisha and the twins are having fun in the observatory and having girl bonding time. Hopefully you get to know a little more about them, and I did make a mistake that I failed to corect about the twins last chapter. Tiana is like her mother and Teralin is like her father. Sorry for the confusion. So ONWARD TO CHAPTER 11!

I do not own the Avengers team they belong to marvel and Stan Lee (God bless him)

Alisha woke the next morning to a stabbing feeling in her arm, the slight taste of blood in her mouth, and her legs and arms being sore. She slowly opened her eyes to see both the twins looking down at her.

"What is your name" Tia said.

oh no, did I not wake up to my serum alarm? Alisha thought while saying "Alisha Virginia Stark"

"How old are you?"

"14 years old."

"Where are you now?"

"I am at the observatory of Jane Foster in the Swiss Alps"

"Who are we?"

"You are Tiana and Teralin Barton"

"Who are your parents?"

"Anthony Stark and Virginia Pepper Stark" Alisha answered the last question with a sigh. "Did I have a major seizer?"

"No, it's was very small but enough to get us a little nervous. You weren't even jerking around too much or coughing up blood like before." Tia said getting her some water.

"Yah, well I'm not getting as much oxygen as before up here now am I?" The red head said, graciously taking the water and sloshing it around in her mouth, trying to get rid of the taste of blood. "I did taste blood in my mouth though. Guess I am always going to need the serum. I was kinda hoping that this higher altitude would be enough. I guess not" She said in a sad but excepting voice. Like all teens with disabilities, she was hoping there would be a cure.

"Well, unfortunately you are stuck with it. Now come on, I need to trim thoughts dead ends of yours" Tera said brining out a blow-dryer, a flat iron, and some scissors.

Her father had decided to call at that moment. "I am ok dad. I got the serum in me before anything serious happened thanks to the twins. I know I will change the ringtone on the alarm and have it closer to my head before I go to sleep tonight, now bye" and she hung up before her father could say anything. "JARVIS probably sent him a message saying that I did not turn off my alarm within 5 minutes." She said before sitting down in the chair.

For the next 3 hours, Alisha was stuck in a chair. She couldn't move, couldn't read, and couldn't look around. She hated being stagnant, but she did need a trim.

When her hair was curly, no matter how long, she didn't cut it. It was always the same length, stopping at the shoulders. As if it was curling in on itself. Tera washed it, blow-dried it, and then flat ironed it. When she was finished Alisha's hair was down to her waist.

"I have never seen it this long before girl. Wow how do you not have a sore neck after a day?" Tera said, already cutting 4 inches off.

"I don't know. I guess the weight is evenly distributed?" Alisha guessed. All she wanted to do right now was go and get something healthy to eat. She felt blotted from eating all that junk food last night.

"Ok, finished. Now lest go and find the cafeteria and have some breakfast" Tera said, leading the way to the door. Tia and Alisha fallowed soon after.

Alisha kept running her fingers threw her long, strait, soft hair. "It's so weird having straight hair. I am never able to pull my fingers threw my curly hair because it curls around itself, but it's nice."

"Think you might want to get it chemically straightened?" Tera perked up.

"Not just no, but hell no. I don't care how manageable and good it looks. My curls reflect my wildness, unpredictability, and me. Plus I am the only one around here who has big curls" She said proudly.

They entered the cafeteria to find it full of people. "But it's almost 10. Why is everyone up for breakfast so late?" Alisha asked. She was use to having breakfast at 7 or 8 with her Mother since she had to get up at that time to take her serum.

"Because we stay up most of the night watching the galaxy and doing research" came the calm voice of Jane Foster from behind them.

"I can understand that but still. I am not use to it" Alisha said honestly, navigating her way through the crowd to the food line. She got herself some waffles, berries, and a mix of cereal and yogurt. All four of them sat together with a small handful of women around them. Most of the scientists where men so it was easy to spot the women. They all gossiped about what was happening outside and inside the observatory. One of the women had noticed a supernova 300,000 light-years away from the observatory last night in the chaos of the meteor shower. It peeked everyone's interest to hear about that. "Don't worry girls, it's nothing threatening" the women had said to the nervous twins.

"It won't reach us, and even if it did it would have dissipated enough for the atmosphere to protect the Earth" Alisha had said to the twins. After eating, Jane took them on a tour of the observatory. Everything was practically in the mountain side. The dome was the telescope and research facility. The middle area was chambers, food court, gym, entertainment/presentation room, and lounge. The bottom sections where storage for food, equipment for maintenance on the telescope, laundry rooms, and where an arc reactor was that Alisha's' father had generously donated to them a while ago as the main power source for the building.

"Looks like you have everything here, even your own internet, phone services, and satellite" Alisha commented after the tour.

"Yes, all thanks to SHEILD and your Father. Eric also helped before he retired giving us all that he had learned thus far. We want you to look it over to see what else we could add to it. Some of it is not finished yet and other formulas have big gaps in it. I am doing my best but it's hard when only one person is working on it. It always helps when there is a partner putting there impute in or arguing against you. That's why I want you to work with me. If you have your Father's brain, which I know you do, you would be able to help" Jane said with a smile. "I had wanted to ask you another time but it never seemed like the right time. You are free to say no if you want Alisha" Jane said in a serious tone.

"No I will help, but only, maybe, three times a week. That sound good?" Alisha asked.

"Any time you give me is appreciated Alisha, thank you" Jane said, shaking Alisha's hand.

"Now if you will excuse us, my friends are very bored and would like to see my…Iron Maiden suit" Alisha said purposefully over to the Twins.

They immediately grinned from ear to ear. "Oh yes, very bored." They both said.

"Ok, ok you can go. Just be careful" Jane said as they ran for the upper hanger.

Once inside, Alisha entered a 35 digit code to raise the platform and show off her new suit.

"Aren't those that…um…Loki, ya that's his name, thoughts are Like's colors. Green and gold." Tera said, circling the suit.

"Yes well now they are mine. It's not AS tricked out as my fathers, but I never really liked all thoughts guns and missiles. I prefer hand to hand." Alisha said, placing her hand on the arm of the suit. The arc reactor light up, as did the eyes.

"Wow, sooooo cooooooool" the twins said in unison. Alisha rolled her eyes.

"Think you could take it for a spin? Show us what it can do?" Tera said, batting her eyelashes at Alisha.

"No she can't because it's time to resume her training" came the calm, collected voice of Natasha Barton.

"Mom, you're here!" Tia said, running to her mother and hugging her. "We were getting worried about you and Dad, you where gone for so long."

"I was on a covert mission. Sorry to worry you girls. Now Alisha, you think you're ready to pick up training again?" Natasha said, looking at her with poison green eyes.

"Yes ma'am. I am ready to train" Alisha smiled.

"Good because you don't have a choice. Follow me to the gym" Natasha turned and walked briskly out of the hanger. Alisha and the twins grinned, they were going to spar together like old times before it had become too much for Alisha.

5 hours later Alisha, Tera, and Tia where soaking in a large bathtub full of ice water.

"Wow, that was the hardest training I have ever done" Tera whined as she sank deeper into the cold water.

"Yes, but we did learn a lot. Plus I haven't been able to do any of thoughts moves before now" Alisha said, trying to cheer them up. She was met with glares so she wisely shut her mouth.

"Why did she have us do more gymnastics then fighting? Like the beam and floor. What could that accomplish?" Tera groaned, moving her legs into a more comfortable position.

Natasha had rigorously had them do routines on the high beam and the floor. Flips, spins, jumps with tumbling, and she didn't let them rest until they had gotten them perfect. Then she had them fight with only their legs on the beam, and only dodge on the floor. It was hard to miss the fact that Natasha was slightly enjoying herself. Most of the 'attacks' that they had to dodge on the floor had come straight for Alisha. The bruises they had, they mostly got from falling on the beam and getting hit by projectils that Natasha was throwing at them.

"I hope we don't have to do this tomorrow. I was going to fly the suit for you two tomorrow after lunch" Alisha said as she rubbed Tia's shoulders, who where rubbing Tera's shoulders, who was rubbing Alisha's shoulders.

"I don't think she will. I heard her say something about reporting your improvement to Fury. I think it was a test to see if you could handle being in the suit and fighting. I don't know how it could be a test but, meh." Tia said as she slowly got out of the tub. All the ice had melted and the water was getting warmer.

"Well this was definitely a fun day. We leave tomorrow night for the hover carrier. But I think the training will pick back up like before, on the weekends." Tera said, following her sister's lead.

"That would be nice; something to help me improve my fighting is always welcome." Alisha said, as she got out, dried herself off, and walked out to her room. It was already dark outside, and the stars where out and shining in the night sky.

"I think I will go to bed early" Alisha said, heading for her bedroom.

"Oh no you don't little girl. We need to do some stretches so you are not stiff tomorrow" Tera said, pulling Alisha by her arm.

After an hour of stretching, they where loose and heading to bed before an alarm went off. "Oh yes I had nearly forgotten, again" Alisha said, going over to the cupboard. It was full of viles of her serum. JARVIS did a scan of her oxygen intake, weight, health, and altitude and reduces the serum amount from the statistics. She only needed a fraction of the vile now, morning and evening. After she took it, she walked into her room and sighed.

The twins had already fallen asleep on her bed, taking up the entire mattress. The red head shook her head and walked across the hallway. There it was again, the feeling of being watched. She looked down the hall, nothing. There was no one around her. She knocked on Jane's door. It opened to reveal a wide awake Jane.

"Did you feel that?" Jane asked.

"If you mean the feeling of being watched very closely by a protective force, then yes I did feel that." Alisha said.

"Well, nothing like that but the feeling of being watched, yes. I think it's Heimdall. Thor told me he is the guard of the bi-frost. The rainbow bridge as we call it. If you are getting the same feeling, maybe Halder wants to check up on everyone." Jane said smiling.

"But he hates me Jane. He never thought of me as a friend. Why would he want to check up on me?"

"Well, people do change over time. Now what is it you came over here for?"

"I was wondering if you had some other place I could sleep. The twins are taking up my bed" Alisha said with a laugh.

Jane smiled as well, offering her couch to Alisha. "And here is a warm blanked. Do you always wear that necklace?" Jane asked, pointing to the silver chain with the emerald on it that Thor had made for her.

"Yes I do. It was a very special gift and I do treasure it because of that" Alisha said with a smile and Jane tucked her in. "Do you miss him?"

"I miss them both. I miss my boys very much. They way they made me laugh. The precious little time we spent together. I miss having them in my arms" Jane said in a soft voice as she walked to her room. "And I know your Mom and Dad miss you just as much."

"Yes, I know. I miss them as well" Alisha said, snuggling into the soft blanket with a sigh. A dreamless sleep once again taking her.

ya, Natasha put them threw the ringer for 5 hours. She dose that to better their abilities, even though she gets a slight bit of enjoyment out of it as well. More of a filler about what the twins are like, the story will keep going in the action direction soon. Please review, it fuels the writers creativity.

LOVE TO ALL!
