[IC] Trying to save the world (Xion and Caits)

[Xion Demente]

A black suit was going through the air, only black and white lights were seen in the sky at night. Not many people would look up though, that's when a bank alarm went off. He landed in front of the blasted door, slowly walking in he saw the men taking the money from the vault. "Don't you guys learn enough already," he raised his hand with one of the pulsars, the guys quickly dropped there weapons. He quickly tied them up, and left them for the cops.

Once he returned to the stark tower, he landed on the outside landing pad. As he walked toward the house his suit was getting taken off, he entered the home. He sat down on the couch, looking over files that he had gotten from his father, one file had caught Michael's attention. He opened it and looked over it, it seemed that something big was up he would have to ask his dad in the morning.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda watched the black shadow fly through the air, going towards the bank alarm. She watched as the figure disarmed the robbers and left them. She sighed, "Well, there goes my fun for the night" She muttered, sighing.

She didn't have time to find another crime to bust. She sighed again, and headed home, slipping in through her bedroom window. It was always a challenge to sneak out and sneak back in, with her mother. She listened as she sat on the window seal, holding her breath, and waiting for any sound that would indicate her mother knew she had snuck out.

She grinned, and took the few steps to her bed, climbing into the bed. It was a large bed, and on one side, she had her laptop. Which she now opened, to try and track the flight pattern of the suit. She could already guess who it belong to, but she always loved to try and hack government systems.

She failed, and didn't dare try again. She sighed, and laid back, looking up at the ceiling.

[Xion Demente]

Michael's systems for one of his computers went off, his father tony had gave him the tower since he was now old enough to live on his own. He sighed, running a hand through his brown hair. He got up checked his computer, seeing that someone was trying to hack him, he shook his head. A lot of people had tried and failed, he added a few more higher firewalls and changed the coding type to a higher and complicated one.

Once that was done, he quickly opened a few files. He had a soda next to him, drinking it whenever he could. Apparently SHEILD had wanted to start a new avengers, Michael shook his head, seeing that his father had said no, since he knew his son would be in it. He quickly went through different files, reading them over on each type of person they had picked out. It looked like it was the kids of the original avengers. Michael only shook his head closing the file, and grabbing his soda sitting on the couch again and reading through all the notes his father had wrote down.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda glanced to the time, seeing that it was near two am. And yet she wasn't tired. She pondered what to do, and decided she might as well try and hack again, going back to the laptop, and once more trying to hack the flight pattern. After an hour or so she sighed, thinking about upgrading her gear to be able to hack better, she went down stairs, being careful not to wake her mother, and entering what he mother termed her study. There was a desk in one corner, but otherwise the large room was filled with equipment. Gymnasium equipment, general physical equipment, and essentially everything needed for their training.

Kalinda went over to the desk, glancing at the files, but she knew her mother would know if she had touched them. So she went over to the equipment, deciding to work out her frustration and energy,

[Xion Demente]

Michael couldn't just sit there anymore without moving, "JARVIS make sure that no one comes up here during the night. If someone does then let me know immediately." "Yes sir," Michael went down to the work area where his armor was, he started to tweak it just a little here and there. He looked over the armor once more, before he ward JARVIS "sir nick fury is coming up the elevator." Michael sighed, "what does he want," "I don't know sir but he's over ridden my protocols to your orders."

Michael made his way back up the stairs, just as the elevator opened. "Nice to see father like son," fury walked in more into the tower. "What do you want fury?" Nick looked at him, "I need the new avengers up and running." Michael raised an eyebrow, "like that's going to happen." He crossed his arms, "sorry Michael but I've already sent an agent to go and get Natasha's daughter." Michael only shook his head, "I said no tinker belle and that's my final answer so get out." Nick only looked at him.

"Then looks like I have to get Natasha's daughter to get to convince you then Stark." He walked out by then, Michael only shook his head, as he went back down stairs and started putting on the wrist bands his father had made his so he could summon his suit whenever he needed it.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda was still in her suit when she heard the knock on the door. She brought up the camera view on the tv in, seeing the man dressed in a suit. Offical looking. Wary, Kalinda went to answer the door, grabbing the dagger in the desk on her way out, and went to the door.

She could hear her mother waking, but Kalinda got to the door first. She opened it, and was faced with a sandy haired man. He appeared young, but he also appeared old. Kalinda found that strange. "Kalinda Romanoff?" The man said in an authoritative voice "Agent Nelson, from S.H.I.E.L.D"

Kalinda knew of s.h.i.e.l.d, from her mother, and of the Avengers. She stayed in front of the door, "it depends on what you want, if I'm who you wish me to be" she said, "and you should do it quick, before my mother comes down the stairs"

"We are re-forming the Avengers, and given who your mother is, and your skills you would be a perfect edition to the group" the agent said. Kalinda frowned, looking up the stairs. "I think you need to take up that up with my mother"

The agent seemed to pale at that, which amused her. "What's in it for me?"

By the end of it, she had agreed, and figured that she should get started. Starks were notoriously stubborn and willful after all.

She hugged her mother goodbye, gathered what she needed and had soon headed out, towards Stsrks place. She knocked politely

[Xion Demente]

Michael only groaned when he heard the knock, he drank the rest of his soda. "JARVIS let her up the elevator I don't feel like going back up those stairs right now with me tweaking my suit," "yes sir." Michael only shook his head, would they even try and give up on getting him in the new group, "whatever lets just get this over with. He had just injected the summoning software for his suit like his father had made for mark 42. "JARVIS my music," life is beautiful started playing.

Michael took a breath, then stretched one of his arms out. A gauntlet came and attached itself to him, then the rest of the armor came along. Once that was done, he got out of the armor. He started making a few more modifications to it. They had better be happy his father wasn't here, or he would have blasted them all the way to Vermont.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda rolled her eyes, but went up in the elevator. She quickly moved through the place, leaning against a door frame as Michael summoned his armor. She rolled her eyes, not impressed.

"You really should come up with something original, you know, and not copy your father" She said, stepping in, brushing her long red hair out her eyes, "Kalinda Romanoff" She said brightly, "And you are Michael Stark."

She looked around the place, and stepped up to Michael

[Xion Demente]

Michael only shook his head, "I already know what your here for Romanoff you want me to join the new avengers. This is hat I said excatly to fury and I'll say it again, forget it." He looked at the armor, what could he do to the suit that could make it different. He smiled a bit, he went over to one of his desks. Pulled out some paper and looked it over. "JARVIS can you tell me really what would the new avengers benefit me with," "sorry sir I can't come up with anything."

Michael only shrugged, "not your fault." He looked back at Kalinda, "still I'm not joining no matter how much you bug me there's no change in my answer at all." He turned back to his suit, started adding an air tank to it. Just in case he went into outer space any time soon. He sighed a bit, "I know fury told me he would send you to get you to change my mind, I just don't see how you can do that Romanoff." He got done adding the air tank and turned back to Kalinda.

He looked at her, "I might be like my father in a way. But I'm still have my mothers since to listen at least to what you have to say. Still my answer still stands, if you manage to change that answer alright I don't really care." He sat back in his chair his arms crossed over his chest, looking at her. "I'm only listening to you because your not SHEILD if you were. I wouldn't listen to what you have to say."

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda chuckled "Oh, Micky, I can be very persuasive" She said, and plopped herself on his work bench, "I don't know about Fury, but an Agent Nelson came to my place. My mother was not happy about being woken, but at least it wasn't me waking her for once" She laughed, her laugh almost musical. "Please, god, don't call me Romanoff, Michael. Its Kalinda. I really don't want to be my mother at 17, no matter how cool she is"

She grinned, brushing back her hair again, "You know, if I pull up my suits hood, I can disappear if I want. Can your metal tin can do that? I have to admit though, it is quite awesome. .I never thought I'd get to see one up close" She said, "My mother's oddly protective of me"

She leaned back, knowing she hadn't yet broached the subject of the Avengers. "look, I know Your father had issue's with working as a team, too, but he did, and he was a great asset. You could be too" She gave a shrug, "But if you are...scared to be a part of a team, well, there isn't anything I can do about that, nor anyone else"

She sighed, "You say you don't really care, so why not join? There's something big happening, or they wouldn't be creating the new avengers. You should be honored that they asked you"

[Xion Demente]

Michael stayed quiet for a moment, as he thought it through. He closed his eyes, "alright Kalinda I guess I have nothing to lose right now, plus that thing has a cloaking system I'll be invisible to any aircraft radar. Also has two mini guns in the wrists, the suits got a lot of suprises in it you would just have to figure out the rest on your own." He let out a sigh, "I only did this." He holds up his arm, "so then I don't have to drag this thing everywhere I go."

He looked at his suit, "I guess were meeting at SHEILD head quarters I'm not really find of the agency. Still if this is what your saying, and there's another huge threat then I guess we need to figure out what it is in the first place, and JARVIS don't say a word about this to my mom or dad or I promise to reprogram you once I'm back here." "Yes sir," Michael stood up, he quickly got the armor on. He turned back to her, "you coming or what?"

The roof opened up for him, he flew through it. Into the morning sky making his way toward SHEILD head quarters, it still amazed Michael at the sight he got to see while he was flying. Soon he landed in front of the door. His armor quickly coming off to change into a black metal back pack as he walked inside. He wasn't suprised, as people turned to look at him though.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda rolled her eyes, "Yes, but I can go invisible" She said, jumping off the desk, and made her own way out the place. She climbed on her motorbike, and made her way to SHIELD head quaters. She couldn't help but smile to herself. She had succeed with her first mission. As she drove, she dialed up the number Agent Nelson had given her, attacking her bluetooth headset.

"Fury"

She grinned again, "K.R. I got him, no doubt he'll get there before me, since he negated to offer me a ride. Clearly not a gentleman, but hey" She hung up, and rang her mother, tell her that everything was going alright so far.

She had soon arrived at the headquarters, and parked her bike, climbing off, she flicked her hair as she walked, entering the building. She ran to catch up with Michael, "Show off, some of us have to walk" she said with amusement in her tone, "I imagine Fury is waiting for us"

[Xion Demente]

Michael only smiled at the comment, before she mentioned fury. Once she did, that smile was gone in an instant. He shouldered the armor on his back, one of the agents came up and held out her hand. "Agent Williams I am supposed to lead you to where the others are already waiting." Michael only looked at her hand, "oh sorry mr. Stark I forgot you don't trust people that easy." Michael looked at her, "no it's alright I've just heard things from both the cap and my father about this place there not so fond of fury I'm not either really."

Williams nodded, and led the way toward a conference room. Micheal could already point out another girl in there and by the looks of her she was hawks daughter then another guy wearing the colors of America. Looks like he was Steve's son, then another girl he could only guess she was banners daughter. The guy next to her had a hammer thors son.

They entered the room, "well it looks like the rich guys here." Michael looked at the guy in red white and blue, "I don't really think of myself as rich since I spend most of my time on my suit." The guy laughed, "names Connor, the guy with the hammar is Zach, the girl with the arrows is Hannah, the other girl is Tory." Michael only nodded, "names Michael." Connor nodded, "your not what I expected for a Stark I kind of expected you to be like your father." Michael only shook his head.

He sat down in one of the, chairs setting his armor on the table. Waiting on fury to show up, "is he usually this late?" Zach asked Michael nodded, "from the information I got on fury from my dad yah he's usually this late he doesn't care if he keeps us waiting or not really." He leaned back in his chair looking at the others. "So I'm guessing you were either told to come or persuade." Connor looked at him, "how did you know that?" Michael only smiled, "I was persuaded to come by Romanoff here." He pointed behind him.

[MarshiestMallow]

"I've told you, call me Kalinda, or I'll keep calling you Micky" Kalinda said. She could imagine that Michael would enjoy being called Micky, "Or maybe Micky Mouse" She grinned, and went over to the two girls. "Boys are hard work" She said, causing both girls to laugh.

"Honestly, you'd think he'd want to do something a pretty girl wanted him to, but no, he won't stop complaining about that, I can tell you!" Kalinda said, giving both girls a hand shake, before saying to Hannah, "You know, if things had gone right between our parents, no doubt we'd be sisters"

Hannah seemed puzzled at that, and then she nodded, "too bad, but I imagine if it was meant to be, it was meant to be"

Kalinda nodded, knowing her mother hadn't spoken to Hawkeye in years, but Kalinda knew the man wasn't her father, despite the fact her mother refused to talk about who her father was. She turned to Tory, who appeared to be a shy, small girl. "Oh, I'd so love to see if you can Hulk out" She said with a laugh, giving the girl a smile, "Don't worry, I don't bite"

Kalinda rarely got along with other girls, so it would be nice to know some girls who understood the trails of having hero parents. "Its a pleasure to meat you all" She said, looking around at them, "So, new Avengers, hey?"

[Xion Demente]

"Hey! Not cool Kalinda," Michael was looking at her while Connor laughed. "Shut it Star-Spangled Banner," Connor shut up immedietly, "yes dad said he only called Steve that when he was annoyed so you better watch it." He looked around them, Connor and Zach would be good teammates so would the girls. Michael sighed, "JARVIS can you locate where fury is?" "Just coming up the stairs sir."

Michael looked at the door as fury walked in, he only looked at him. Connor and Zach could feel the tension in the room just by staring between Michael and fury. They were wondering what had happened that had made Michael hate fury so much. "Alright we only got you guys together as the new avengers. Because someone has managed to steal the cube from us, his name is frost we don't know where he is or how he got the cube."

"All we know is that some of our agents were out cold, and the cube was gone by the time we had got to where we put it." Michael only looked at fury, "stark I need you to track down frost at all costs." Michael clenched his jaw, "I don't take orders from you and my names Michael not stark I won't go by what you called my father you always said it with such distaste and you just did it with me either don't do it again fury or I'm out of here you can say goodbye to your pro hacker and Ghost too." Fury sighed, "alright Michael just track him down."

Michael shook his head, "I guess." Fury looked at the others, "once michaels done locating frost we'll send in the team to go and get the cube back dismissed." Connor could only look at Michael what the heck had happened between his dad and fury that made Michael hate fury so much? Michael only sighed, he quickly got one of his computers set up in the room, and started tracking down frost.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda sighed, "I'll help Micky" She said, "Hannah, why don't you see what the boys can do-it would be wonderful to know if they have the same abilities as their parents. Information is essential. Tory, why don't you see if you can track the cube's energy signal, I see that there is a computer system over there" Kalinda assumed that the girl had the same abilities as her father, and being able to track the cube was essentially, since Michael would be busty tracking Frost.

It would be awesome if the cube was in the same location as Frost, but if it wasn't, it would be good to know where it was, and it might help them track Frost if Michael couldn't. She went over to Michael, "Maybe later Connor I can pick your brain for fighting abilities" She said, giving the boy a smile "I think Star-Bangled banner is a cute nickname by the way"

Kalinda could see that it would take a lot to bring this group together as a team, and therefore knew she had her work cut out for her, but she would do it, at any cost. The avengers were only at their best when they were a team, her mother had said.

"And I'd love to look at your hammer Zach. Maybe you can teach me your language so I can read it!" She said, then gave Michael a smile "Shall we begin, or will you push me away? I have some pretty niffy computer skills too"

[Xion Demente]

Michael only smiled, "says the person who tried to hack my computer and fail." He laughed at that, soon he had another one of his computers up and running, "there if I were Frost I wouldn't leave America it would drag to much attention to him. He would be in one of the states here in America." He thought a moment, "JARVIS can you do a scan over the the United States and see how if there is anyone that has and extremely cold body, if I had to guess frost is a person that can control ice or anything that is frozen. It would only make since with him calling himself frost."

Michael waited thirty minutes before he heard from JARVIS, "sir frost is Oregon by the looks of it the cube isn't with him." Michael frowned at that, but he shrugged it off. "Kalinda go get the others I'll be waiting by an airship got you guys no way am I going there alone just in case I'm right about frost." He summoned his armor, and flew through the hallways toward an airship, he didn't care what fury wanted he just wanted to get this done.

He got to the airship, he started it for the others so it was ready when they got here. He saw Connor and Zach first, "get in we've got to hurry something's up and big time since frost is heading toward Washington. Come on I don't know exactly what he's planning with the cube but it can't be good." Michael then saw the rest of them running up, Michael waved them inside the airship before he started flying toward Oregon.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Hey, I would have done it, but not all of us can have your fancy equipment. I was just using my laptop, and I nearly got there" Kalinda said with amusement, following his search as he did it over his shoulder. She followed this, and rolled her eyes as he took off, "You could walk!" She said after him, before going to collect the others. "The tin man wants us" She said, grabbing both the girls hands, and starting to the ship.

"Do you think they'll let me fly it? My mother's been teaching me to fly planes, but I'm not qualified yet" She said to them.

"then no, I'd rather not plummet to the earth in a plane" "Tory said

"Oh, you'd survive!" Hannah replied, "No doubt Connor and Zach would too, its myself and Kalinda that would be killed!" She said with a laugh

Kalinda grinned and laughed herself, "Good point" She said, "Maybe I'll let someone with more experience fly" She said, climbing into the plane when they aproached iit and sitting down. "Look at that, Micky's already getting this whole team thing!" She said to the girls as they plane took off. She chatted with Hannah and Tory, enjoying this, even if she did keep an eye onto what was going on around them.

[Xion Demente]

Michaels voice comes over the Bluetooths "Kalinda I heard that stop calling me Micky or I'll start calling you Romanoff." "Sir you might not like it but she does." Michael groaned "JARVIS shut it," Michael laughed a bit, " and walking through the hallways aren't really that fun when your in a suit." Gun shots are heard over the Bluetooths also, "man I was hoping to get there without any problems."

Michael quickly tries to dodge the bullets a few hit his armor and bounce off. That's when they hear JARVIS's voice "sir left foot thruster has been frozen," Michael gets a sarcastic tone to his voice, "her really JARVIS I didn't notice, you guys be careful looks like Frost hired some mercenaries to shoot down anything that is not there men." Then Michael falls to the ground after his right foot thruster gets frozen.

"Man this is gonna hurt," Michael grunts in pain as he hits the ground and the line goes dead. Micheal looks up, to see guns pointed at him. Then he sees a man in a white suit, "well looks like I get to meet the great person they call the ghost. You aren't so tough now that your on the ground at my feet now are you," Michael struggles to get back up, to only feel a foot on his back forcing him back down. "Now now your not getting back up yet no way am I letting you."

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda chuckled, "Call me Romanoff, and I'll call you Micky Mouse instead" She said, rising to check outside at the sound of gun shots. "Wonderful" She went to grab a jet pack, created with similar technology of the thrusters in Michael's suit. Kalinda knew that Tony Stark had made them for flightless team members years ago, and it looked as if he still provide them. She found some communicators as well, passing them out

She put her jetpack on on, passing one to Hannah and One to Tory, knowing that Zach could find his own way down, and moving aside to let Connor grab one. She she leaped out the plane to see Michael falling. "Oh, Micky, this is why you shouldn't rely on your suit so much" She muttered to herself, as she aimed herself down.

She pulled up her hood, and she seemed to blend into the sky as her suit adapted. She landed outside the group of people around Michael, and shrugged out of the jet pack. Her hands went to the various weapons around her body, looking up as Hannah and Tory were in the air as well.

"Hey!" She yelled, knowing her suit would have blended into the surrounded, effectively making her invisible "He's my tin man, so sorry you can't have him!" .
