Hey ya'll! Here's chapter four, I hope you like it! I'm sorry it takes me a little while to get these out, it's harder for me to get time to write, I've been working a little more again. After the fourth I'll probably have more time to update faster. I hope you like this chapter, you get a small glimpse of the impending doom. I now have Gir from Invader Zim singing the Doom song in my head... Anyways... Here's the chapter, it's late here so I'm going to post, and go to bed. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I only own Minnie, Kayla, and Amanda. Enjoy!

"Hello Phil," I smiled at Phil Coulson when I opened the door. "Come on in."

"Minnie, how are you?" he asked with a smile.

"I'm good, how are you?" I asked as he came in and a few SHIELD agents stayed outside.

"It's been a long day." he admitted.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"It's nothing I can't handle."

"Ah, so it's Tony."

"It usually is." he smiled as we walked to the living room. Kayla was outside with Dallas and Amanda, he saw them running around and he looked at me.

"Bruce bringing his work home with him?" he looked at me and I smiled lightly. BRBRBr

"Yeah, I need to talk to you about that." I said and nodded to the kitchen.

"What's-"

"Phil." Bruce walked into the kitchen and Phil nodded to him.

"Dr. Banner," he shook his hand. "Good to see you, your wife and I were just discussing your little friend out there." Phil nodded to the door.

"Let me go get her." I said and I went to the back yard.

"Amanda, sweetheart, can you come in here please?"

"Coming." she said as she picked Kayla up. Kayla was red in the face from running out and looked really tuckered out.

"Come on baby." I said as I took her from Amanda. I laid her on the couch and smoothed the hair from her face. "Jarvis put on the Lion King." it was her favorite movie.

"I wanna see Phil." she whined.

"Phil will be here after your nap." I said as I laid her back down. She sighed and I stayed there, rubbing her back as she slowly fell asleep. When I went to the kitchen Amanda Phil and Bruce were sitting, Amanda was tearing up a tissue and Phil looked semi startled.

"Did she-"

"Yes." Phil said quickly.

"Who-"

"Nothing." he insisted, his cheeks tinged with pink. He cleared his throat and sighed. "Amanda, what do you want to do?"

"I don't want to go back." she said softly.

"Fair enough." he nodded. "There's a school, in New York, they take in cases like yours." he explained. "Would you be willing to go there?" She looked at me and bit her lip.

"I want to stay here." she said in a small voice and I smiled gently.

"Sweetheart, we'd love to have you stay here," I took her hand. "But we can't give you what you need to be able to control your abilities."

"But- Mr. Roberts? You're like me right?" she asked and Bruce took his glasses off.

"What I am is the result of an experiment gone bad." he explained. "You're much more special, and to be honest, going back to school here, do you want everyone to know what you are?" he asked and she sighed with a small nod. "Finals are in a few weeks, how far into them until you have a moment of weakness? Trust me, I've been there."

"I- I don't want to be alone." she said looking at Phil.

"You won't be." I said as I gave her hand a light squeeze. "We'll be here for you." I smiled at her. "Even if we can't always be with you."

"I'll go to the school then." she said and Phil nodded, before gesturing to the SHIELD agent in the kitchen.

"Call the Xavier school and inform them that I'll be dropping off a new student for them." he said softly. The agent nodded and I noticed Amanda looking at him curiously as he went outside and made a phone call.

"Amanda, I want you to go with Agent Bradford, he's going to take you home, and get your things." Phil said and she instantly shook her head. "Amanda, you're going to have to trust us." he said and she looked at me. I nodded and she bit her lip before she looked at Phil.

"Okay." she said softly. He smiled and Agent Bradford took her to the car while I looked at Phil curiously.

"What aren't you telling us?" Bruce asked and Phil sighed.

"Director Fury asked me not to tell you," he said softly. "But I think you deserve to know. There's a new government agency, they're called H.A.M.M.E.R. and they've been set up to enforce the Fifty State initiative. Basically, the world wants to know where known heroes are at every minute of every day."

"What do they think they're going to do, chip us?" Bruce asked and Phil raised his eyebrows.

"If they have to." he said softly and I frowned as I took Bruce's hand. "They haven't found you yet, and we're having Stark work on a new security system for all of the files we have on any heroes, making it impossible for them to find anything out."

"But what if they do?" I asked and Phil looked between us.

"Then we'll reinstate you." he said honestly.

"Reinstate me?" Bruce asked lowly. "Wasn't the point of us leaving so they wouldn't-"

"If they find you, there will be an immediate threat to your daughter, your wife and yourself. Here you're no one but Bruce Roberts, high school chemistry teacher." Phil said. "But with us, you're Dr. Bruce Banner. The Incredible Hulk- a hero." he looked at Bruce, then to me. "On SHIELD's side, you'd be able to help end this."

"Why me?"

"The government hasn't exactly backed our decision to put you into hiding. They think we should be using you as bait, try to coax Hydra out into the open and take them down from there. Maybe infiltrate them. They're not only after you Bruce. They've taken quite a liking to the idea of getting their hands on Kayla, and other young people who have shown talents. Like Amanda."

"Kayla isn't like me, she's normal." he said softly, looking down. I gave his hand a light squeeze and he looked at me. "She's not like me."

"She's not like the other guy." I clarified. "But she's a lot like you. She's three years old and she's brilliant like you." I said and he smiled lightly. I looked back to Phil. "In the meantime, what do we do?"

"In the meantime I think it would be best if we had more contact, this threat is closing in, and closing in fast. Faster than most people want to admit. I'll have tony stark link Jarvis to his version, and bridge a small gap between us."

"Jarvis?" I asked with a small laugh. "Jarvis who?"

"Cut the act Minnie, do you really think we don't know what goes on here?" he asked and I crossed my arms.

"You better not know everything that goes on here." I said and he cleared his throat.

"Jarvis, how much longer until Tony Stark finishes linking?"

"I've been here for about five minutes now." Tony's voice filled the kitchen and I gasped as a video came up on the window. "Hey Minnie." he said and I covered my mouth with a smile.

"Tony." I laughed. "Can you- Can you see us?"

"Yeah, uh, there's a video camera in the light switch." he explained and I looked at Phil.

"Company regulation." he said with his hands up.

"Kinda pervy if you ask me." Tony shrugged. "Tell me Agent, who is it that keeps an eye on their security video? Oh, wait you don't need to tell me, what with my full access to SHIELD records." he grinned like a kid in Candy land. "Bruce, you'd love some of this stuff."

"I'm sure you'll have plenty to show me." Bruce smiled.

"Sure will." Tony grinned.

"Tony- Is that- Oh my god, Minnie!" I laughed as Pepper came into focus. "Hi Minnie, can you see me?" she asked as Tony looked a little put out of place as Pepper tried to move into the chair next to him.

"Of course I could Pep, it'd be hard to miss that rock." I nodded to her left hand and she laughed. "When?"

"Pepper's last birthday." Tony said.

"Oh that's great, he'll forget both things on the same day." I said and Pepper laughed.

"Not with my new assistant I won't." Tony said and my face fell. "I mean my old assistant." he shrugged and gave me a sly smile.

"Tony, they're not being reinstated today." Phil sighed.

"Mommy?" Kayla asked from the couch and Bruce walked over to her.

"Oh my god, is that her?" Pepper asked as he returned holding Kayla who was sucking her thumb and looking at the window with her wide eyes.

"Guys, this is our daughter," Bruce said with a proud smile. "Makayla, this is Tony, and Pepper."

"Your aunt and uncle." I said as I smoothed her red curls down.

"Good job man." Tony smiled lightly at Bruce who nodded back to him.

"Hi sweetheart." Pepper smiled brightly at Kayla.

"Hi." she said and looked at the window. "Why are you on our window?"

"We're actually in New York, this is us talking over the computer." Pepper said.

"Like Jarvis?" Kayla asked and Tony smiled.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to resist." he said to me and I shrugged.

"You once said Jarvis seemed to like having me around."

"If only you knew what you've missed, Mrs. Banner." Jarvis said with what sounded like a sigh. I laughed and Tony grinned.

"Anything to keep the AI happy huh Minnie?" he asked with a wink.

"Guys I hate to cut this short," Phil said and Tony looked annoyed. "But Agent Bradford should be back with Amanda anytime now, and I'd hate to explain why Tony Stark is in your kitchen window."

"That's true." Pepper sighed.

"Tony Stark?" Kayla asked and looked up at Tony with big eyes. "My momma says you're a superhero."

"Oh does she?" Tony looked at me and I smiled.

"It's a matter of public record who the Iron Man is." I said and he grinned.

"She says you're a smart ass." she said and Pepper laughed as did Bruce, and Phil even chuckled.

"She forgot narcissist, billionaire, playboy- Ow!" he rubbed his shoulder where Pepper had hit him and I shook my head.

"Daddy, what's a-"

"I'll tell you when you're older." he said instantly as I looked at Tony.

"Thanks." I said sarcastically.

"I don't get what the big deal is, I'll just buy her a pony." he said and I rolled my eyes with a small smile.

"I miss you guys so much, it was great seeing you."

"We'll talk soon, I promise." Pepper said.

"Bruce," Tony said and Bruce looked at him. "Good work big guy." he grinned and Bruce smiled as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders, the line went out and Phil looked over at the front door as it opened.

"Mommy, what's a narcissist?" Kayla asked and I laughed as I took her from Bruce's arms.

"It's someone who's too big for their britches." I said and she laughed.

"What's britches?"

"Pants pumpkin." I said and she started to wiggle from my arms. I set her down and smiled as she took off.

"Phil!" she shouted as she ran down the hall after him. "I want stickers!" I laughed as she threw herself on the SHIELD agent's leg and He picked her up, pulling a plastic SHIELD badge from his inner pocket.

"See, you're a SHIELD agent now too." he said and she looked over at Bruce and me with a huge grin on her face.

"Jarvis, screen shot." I laughed.

"What's a Jarvis?" Amanda asked with a small frown.

Norman Osborn walked into his office, it was dark, and he turned on his lamp as he made his way to the desk, then paused, and turned back around. "Can I get you a drink?" he asked the tall thin woman with long black hair who had been standing behind the door to his office. She didn't respond and he smirked gently. "You sure? I'm having one." he paused as she watched him open the glass bottle. He raised it to his nose and then smiled. "You know you won't get far by killing me."

"Am I killing you?" she asked and he continued to smile.

"Are you?" she moved from the shadows and his eyes ran over her figure. She was so dangerous, power radiated from her body and just standing this close made him tense up with attraction. It was a bad trait of his, to be so attracted to power.

"When I kill you," she spoke with her Hungarian accent. "You'll know it."

"Then why are you here?" he put the bottle down, untouched.

"We have a deal."

"We do." he said. "And when we find it, we'll let you know."

"You're sure you have not already?" she asked, her eyes flickering to the file in his hand.

"You think I'd hold out on you?"

"Yes." her answer was instantaneous.

"Don't you trust me?"

"In our business, you trust no one." she said and looked him over with her green eyes, before she bit her lip in a most alluring way. His eyebrows rise as she moved towards him, her hips moved in a most seductive way, and she pressed herself against his body before sitting on his desk.

Her knees were parted, and he couldn't tear his eyes front the skin tight black pants she was wearing until she leaned forward, giving him a very good view right down her equally as tight top, displaying her ample chest. She snapped and he looked up at her. "What have you found out?" she asked and he swallowed before looking her over again, desire obvious in his eyes.

"Persuade me." he ordered and she frowned.

"That was not part of the deal."

"Details change all the time," he said as he moved in closer to her. "You want what I've got, you persuade me." he said and she looked at him for a long moment before she wrapped his long, ugly tie around her hand and pulled him in close, her lips dominated his mouth as he leaned over her, his hands on either side of the desk, supporting his weight.

The folder slipped off the desk and to the floor, where it lay open, the picture of a white house with red trim, two cars in the driveway and a very familiar red haired woman getting the mail, was clipped to the top of the file, and lay there for anyone who bothered to look down to see.

Reviews are appreciated! They made me update faster. (Hint- Hint)
