"Thea!" I heard my aunt Pepper call me. I sat up on my bed and turned to my bedroom door open.
"Thea, there you are, I need a favour." Pepper asked and I nodded,
"Sure, what can I do?" I asked sitting up. I was still sat in my PJ's, Netflix playing as I spoke.
"I need you to take a group around the tower, I've got no interns free and they arrive in an hour, can you do it?" She asked.
"Yeah, sure I can." I smiled, she grinned and walked over to me and kissed my forehead.
"Thank you, you are a lifesaver." She gushed.
"I'm an avenger it's kinda in the job description." I joked standing up and walking to my closet to change.
"It's the truth." Pepper laughed. "OK, so the group will meet you at reception. The group are to see the museum, R&D labs and the training area." Pepper informed me.
"Got it." I smiled "Do I gotta dress smart?" I asked I look of worry in my face.
"Wear what you want, just be comfortable." She told me, Her phone buzzed and she looked down. "I gotta go, thanks again, Thea, I owe you one." She looked up at me, smiled then left.
I changed into Pair of black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and a black leather jacked. I added a pair of wedged sneakers and a silver arrow necklace from my dad. I let my copper coloured hair full to it's natural curly mess and added a pair of spider earring.
I left my bedroom and walked into the dining room where O found my mum (Nat) and dad (Clint) arguing over who ate the last pop tart.
"Is it too late to triad you guys in for parents who are less like children?" I called over their fighting which stopped as soon as they heard my voice.
"Rude." My dad huffed grabbing a spoon off the counter and threw it at me. I grinned as I caught and threw it back when he turned back to my mum.
"Is it too late to take my name of the adoption papers or exchange her for a kid that's less like her mother and more like me?" Dad asked Mum who shook her head and laughed.
"No, I like this one, besides you have other children, just make then your minions." She shrugged.
(I should probably explain the dysfunctional family dynamic I got going no here. My parents, Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton, adopted me when I was a new born baby after she found me in a lab where some guys where pumping me full of chemicals that ended up giving me a certain advantage, I was...a different person when I'm overwhelmed with emotions. Much like Uncle Bruce and The Hulk, I become this thing that is controlled by her emotions. I've mostly gotten it under control but occasionally I'll go 'Code Blue' and my mum has to calm me down, which is near impossible.
Nat wanted a kid so bad, but couldn't have one so when she found me she took me in and after a while Clint offered to Co-sign adoption papers. His wife agreed to this and while Clint lives with his wife and kids on a secret farm, I live here, in Stark Tower, with my mum, uncle Bruce, uncle Steve, uncle Bucky, my 'sister' Wanda and my aunt Pepper and Tony...my uncle who pays for everything. So here we are standing in the tower kitchen, arguing over pop tarts and throwing cutlery.)
"Morning Маленькая стрела (Little Arrow), You sleep Okay?" My mum asked as she handed me a plate of toast and a soda."
"Yeah, listen, Pepper asked if I could give a tour to a group of students, so training will have to wait till later." I informed her taking a bite of my food.
"It's fine, she told me on her way to look for you." Mum shrugged,
"So, who's the group?" Dad asked.
"I'm not sure yet, I will find out when I get down to reception, speaking of which. Gotta Scram," I told them as I left my dirty dish in the sink, kissed both my parents on the cheek, grabbed my security pass and left, heading to the elevator.
"Good morning Little Arrow, where too?" F.R.I.D.A.Y asked as I stepped in the elevator.
"Ground floor please FRIDAY." I told her. A minute or so later the doors opened to the ground floor of Stark tower.
I walked over to the reception , grabbed the security badges for the group and walked over to the waiting area and sat down waiting and texting my boyfriend Peter Parker. My head shot up when I heard a deep voice speak to the receptionist.
"Hello, we're here for the tour of the tower." His voice boomed. I walked over as I saw the receptionist point in my direction. I reached the group and smiled.
"Hi, Midtown Tech right?" I asked, glancing down at the name on the papers the receptionist gave me earlier.
"Yes." The said, looking down at me. "And you are?"
"I'm Thea Romnnoff, I'm your tour guide today." I smiled as I pointed to my security pass, pinned to my top.
"Aren't you a little young to be an intern here?" He asked, looking down at me sceptically.
"Yes, yes I am, which is why I don't Work here, I love here." I told him.
"I'm sorry but I think..."
"Look teach, my mum and I live upstairs, Pepper Potts in my aunt and she asked me this morning if I would give the tour, because who better to give a tour of the tower than somebody who has been into every room in the building." I told him.
"Yes, but..." He began again.
"Look, there are no other interns available to give the tour, I'm all you got, so if my age bothers you, feel free to leave and arrange another another visit, however that could be a while." I told him. He let out a sigh and nodded before turning to his class.
"Class, this is miss Romanoff, she will be giving us the tour, so please, do your best to behave." He told them. "Miss Romanoff, over to you." I nodded and watched as the kids all looked towards me.
"OK, listen up guys, I'm Thea Romanoff, call me Thea, not Miss Romanoff. You do that, we'll get along great." I smiled at them. "I'm obliged to tell you, there are Avengers living in ST so there will be some around. If we do spot any we'll do a quick Q&A before moving on." I told them. I pulled a few passes out of the box and handed then to the teacher to give out as I explained.
"OK, so your teacher is coming round with your security passes. Keep these in sight at all times, our head of security is a real pain in the butt about them." I told them I I handed out a few others I had left.
"Thanks Thea!" I heard Happy call.
"You got it Hap!" I called back, chuckling.
"OK, so security levels...to get into the building we'll pass through a security scanner which will call out your names and security passes." I told them as we began walking slowly. "The levels are simple:
*Level A- Avengers and Tony's personal intern, he needs the Pass level A to go where Stark does. *Level F- for family and friends of the Avengers, *Level I-Intern, *Level S-Staff members not working in the labs, *and level V- visitors like yourselves. Now does anybody have any questions?" I asked as we stopped at the security scanners.
"Yeah, Parker, Jones and Leeds don;t have passes." I tall, snobby looking kids yells. my head snapped up at the sound of the familiar names and sure enough, stood at the back of the group stood my best friend MJ, My boyfriends best friend Ned Leeds and my boyfriend Peter Parker, who stood, trying to hide behind Ned and MJ. I chuckled as MJ waved, a wide grin on her face.
"They have passes already,." I told him.
"What how, who did you have to pay to get them Penis." The kid called back to Peter. I froze and turned slowly to face him.
"What did you just call him?"
"Nothing, look I just want to know why those three losers have a pass to Stark Tower is all." He shrugged.
"MJ and Ned happen to be my friends, and Pete is my UNCLE Tony's intern, now I suggest you shush before you get kicked out of the building." I told him.
"Now, pretty simple, scan the Pass and you go through." I scanned my pass and walked through as FRIDAY spoke up.
"Thea Romanoff: Pass level A. Hello again Little Arrow." FRIDAY called.
"OK, You, kid who thinks is all it...you first." I scowled at him. He gulped a little but stepped forward and scanned his pass.
"Eugene Thompson: Pass level V" FRIDAY called out. The rest of the Class followed suit, chatting as they stood on the other side of the scanners waiting for the rest of the class. The class became quiet when MJ walked through.
"Michelle Jones: Pass level F. Welcome to hell MJ." FRIDAY said, MJ and I burst out laughing, the rest of the class watched confused. Next was Ned's turn.
"Edward Leeds: Pass Level F. Welcome Back Ted." Ned's head shot to me as I let out a laugh again.
"Sorry Teddy, Tin Can and I were playing with FRIDAY's personal greetings and...Sorry." I told him, he shook his head and chuckled walking over to where MJ and I stood. Last was Peter who's eyes flickered to me, a small smile on his face.
"She's gonna give me weird greeting too right?" He asked me but I shot him a wink and smiled as he stepped forward.
"Peter Parker: Pass Level A, Good morning Bambi." FRIDAY called out, Pete shot me a look,
"Hey, that one was all Tin Can младенец (Baby) " I told him, raising my hands in surrender,
"Yeah, I'm sure it was мой маленький лучник (My Little Archer)"
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" The kid, Eugene, called to us.
"What?" Peter asked confused.
"You spoke another language." The teacher spoke up shocked.
"Yeah, Russian, why's that a problem?" I asked him.
"It's not, I just never heard him speak Russian, I didn't know his could." Peters teacher answered.
"That's mostly for my benefit, when he's here we speak Russian. it annoys my dad and uncle." I explained, before he could answer FRIDAY spoke.
"Bambi, Boss man and Thea will be made aware of your arrival." FRIDAY told him as my phone buzzed. I looked to see FRIDAY had sent me a text telling me Peter was in the building.
"OK, let's go to the R&D labs shall we.
An hour later as we were exiting the R&D labs after having a little mess around with a few robotic components and heading towards the dinning area for lunch when I noticed Peter stiffen. I stopped and shushed everybody.
"Everybody shush!" I called out. I listened, quietly and looked up, just in time to see my dad jump out of the vents above me. I hit the floor, rolled and grabbed my knife I kept in my pocket. throwing it to him. He caught it and smiled wide. I stood up, wide eyed and I let my anger take over.
"Папа, что, черт возьми, не так с тобой? (Dad, what the hell is wrong with you?)" I yelled, walking over and grabbing my knife back off of him.
"English, Thea." My dad chuckled.
"DAD, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" I yelled again.
"I'm trying to keep you and mini Stark on your toes." my dad shrugged, I was about to make a sarcastic and sassy remark however my uncle Bruce came walking out of the elevator looking panicked.
"I head yelling in Russian, who hurt my goddaughter?" He asked, looking around. I turned and pointed at me dad and he visibly calmed down.
"He jumped out of the vent, he tried to kill me." I told Bruce.
"Just trying to keep her on her toes." My dad shrugged.
"You risked a code Green, to keep Thea on her toes?2 My uncle asked, exasperated.
"She need's to be in a state of total awareness at all times." My dad argued back.
"Ah, Unagi" Peter called from the back of the group. I let out a laugh, obviously getting the Friends reference, before turning to Uncle Bruce.
"Hey, I'm OK, no need for a code green." I smiled as he hugged me. "Now, you up to answering some questions from the group?" I ask him. He nodded and the questions for my dad and Uncle began.
I took this opportunity to sneak to the back of the group here Peter was stood, watching me.
"Hey, hot stuff." I smiled as I stood by him.
"You OK?" He asked as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder. I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder for a second.
"He, only did that because Mr Stark told him I was here with the group." Peter reassured me.
"Please, my dad would have done the same thing if I was on my own, or with a group of business men and women, is an idiot who likes to scare me." I told him.
"Yeah, well one of these days he'll get his ass beat." He laughed.
"True." I smiled up at him. "So, why didn't you tell me you were in the school group today?" I asked him. He looked down and shrugged.
"They didn't tell us where we were going, just to get on the bus."
"What and you didn't recognise the route the bus was taking?"
"I wasn't paying much attention to where the bus was going, because I spent the whole bus ride texting my girlfriend, my attention was else where." He chuckled as he tightened his grip and kissed the top of my head.
"Right, yeah, sorry." I laughed as I laughed as I looked up at him. I stood quietly for a couple minutes until I left him alone to go get on with the tour.
"OK, thanks uncle Bruce, Dad." I smiled. "OK, guys, we're going to make our way down the Lunch room, if you wanna follow me." I instructed them as I lead them to the elevator. once everyone was in FRIDAY spoke up.
"Hello Little Arrow, where to?"
"Floor 3 please." I asked and within seconds the elevator was moving. It was quiet until a low, booming voice called my name.
"Yes, Anthony?" I asked my uncle.
"Are you and Pete joining us for lunch?"
"No, we'll eat in the cafeteria with the group, thanks." I answered
"Cool, I'll send some food down for you both, Ted and MJ too, Capsicle made too much." He informed me, then there was quiet as everybody looked at me.
"Did Mr Stark just call you Theodora?" Peter asked, a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, his did, it's my name." I told him. "If you even think of calling me Theodora, I will end your life...painfully." I glared at him. He chuckled and then the door to the elevator opened we all exited.
I continued to the cafeteria with the group then let them split up. I sat at a table. marked with fore plates and a piece of paper with 'THEODORA' written across it.
"That men needs to update his will, and quickly." I huffed as I sat down. MJ and Ned laughed, while Peter kept his eyes a table closer to us. The table that the Flash kid was sitting at. Seconds later I saw a piece of paper fly towards Peter however I caught it before it hit him.
I unrolled the paper and saw he had a message written on it. Be black letters,
Penis Parker, who did you have to screw to get this internship, I'm so much smarter than you loser. P.S that girl, Thea, she's pretty hot, to hot to know you.
"That's it, I'm gonna kill the fucker." I growled and stood up.
"Mr Thompson!" The teacher called. I walked over to the table Flash was sat at and smiled sweetly.
"Hi boys." I grinned. "I just wanted to come over for a quick chat."
"Oh, yeah, you finally had enough with the loser club?" One of Flash's goons asked.
"No, I'm good with the Loser Club, hell I started the loser club. No, I have a little problem."
"What would that be sweet heart?" Flash asked.
"Well, Sweetheart, you, dick for brains, keep antagonising me by bullying my boyfriend." I said as I pointed at him the at Peter.
"So what, he has to send his girlfriend to fight for him?" He laughed.
"No, in about two seconds he's gonna come over her, say something in Russian then try drag me away to stop me from killing you." I told him
"Bullshit" Flash laughed. I smirked and sat back.
"3..2..1" Right on que, Peter came walking over placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Маленький Арчер, успокойся, я в порядке, и он не стоит того (Little Archer, calm down, I'm fine, and he's not worth it)" He whispered in my ear. I locked my glare on Flash, no longer smiling.
"You seriously think she's going to protect you Penis?" Flash asked Peter.
"Call him Penis again and you'll see." I growled.
"Thea Romanoff!" Peter scolded. I kept my gaze on Flash.
"You need to calm down right now." He told me. He walked tot he where Flash was sat and pushed in out the way.
"FLASH, FOR ONCE IN YOU'RE STUPID EXISTENCE, WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP, I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU" Peter roared.
I watched Peter as starred at me, then his eyes widened and he pulled out something, then everything was blue.
"Nat, we got a code blue!" Pete called into the object, his phone.
My eyes fixed on Flash who watched confused and scarred as he starred into my now Blue eyes. By now everybody was watching until the sound of FRIDAY began ringing in the air.
"Can all personal please make there way out of the Cafeteria, we have a code blue, I repeat code blue."
Everybody began leaving, but my eyes glued to Flash. He looked around but as he began to move I dove for him, screaming as I did. Then I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. Flash looked over my head surprised.
"Seriously kid, you gotta go!" He heard Bucky Barns yell from behind me. My eyes followed Flash as he exited the room then my eyes fixated on Peter.
I watched as her eyes landed on me, her once grey eyes, a bright, luminous blue, the chemicals in her body reacting to her emotions. I stood still, knowing that if I made any movements to calm her, the way I usually do, she would snap even more. She was so far gone, only Wanda's mind whammy could fix her now. I watched Cap, who had a hold off Thea, holding her back until Wanda came rushing in.
I watched as my girlfriends eyes went blank, still Bright blue us she looked as if she was looking right through me. I ran over and sat beside her, taking her hand in mine. Cap let go of her and she sank into my arms.
"Pete, you there?" She asked looking around. I knew she couldn't see me as Wanda had stopped her vision and let her see nothing but a view of the city, something that really calmed Thea.
"Did, I...Did I code blue?" She asked me.
"Yeah, but it's OK let go and we'll talk later." I told her.
She became twitchy in my arms then she collapsed. Nat came rushing in as I hugged her tight. She walked over to Thea and I, carefully placing a hand on her daughters head.
"What happened Peter?" She asked me, I never took my eyes of Thea as I spoke.
"Flash, he, he was giving me shit, bullying me and she was OK at first, she just let if go, but the he threw this at me and she freaked." I told her, passing her the note Flash had thrown at me, I had read it before when she was sat starring Flash down.
"I'm gonna kill him!" I her Clint yell as he appeared at Nat's side and read the note.
"This is my fault, I.. I..."
"Peter, honey, there was nothing you did wrong, This kid just didn't listen to reason and now she's gone." Nat reassured me.
"Tony's called your Aunt Peter, she knows you're here and school have been informed you're staying here. Bruce told me as he walked into the room. His eyes landed on his God daughter, laying unconscious in my lap. I saw a spark of green flash in his eyes and I turned to night.
"Yeah, I saw it too." She told me as she lent in and kissed Thea's head then stood up and walked over to Bruce.
"Come on Banner, Pete will take her to med bay, we need to get you out of her, we don't need a code green too." Nat told him as she grabbed his hand and guided him out of the room.
"You want me to take her?" Cap asked but I shook my head.
"We can't until she...." Then, as if on que, Thea's eyes opened wide and she let out a loud scream. The power in the scream sent tables flying, windows breaking and lights flickering. The she stopped and closed her eyes again.
"Last time she did that in the Med bay, she took out most of the medical equipment and cost Tony thousands of dollars in damage." I told Cap as I lifted Thea into my arms and carried her to med bay.
I opened my eyes, slowly and took in my surroundings. I was in my room, on my bed, A tall sleeping body next to me. I moved a little, to get a better look but as I did I woke up the sleeping boy next to me.
"Hey." He smiled as he sat up quickly
"What happened?" I asked.
"Code Blue." Peter smiled sadly at me. "You didn't hurt anybody, a few broken windows, you probably given half my class nightmares but that's about it." He joked, trying to lighten my mood.
"You took longer to wake up this time too, nearly 20 minutes before you screamed. Dr Banner is looking into it but he doesn't want to do anything until you're better." He told me.
"Yeah, your mum saved us from a code green, however we're not going to tell him how the code blue happened, it's bad enough you went code blue, but if he finds out I was being bullied too...The big guy would have a freaking field day at my school."
"You know, you could leave, be home schooled with me? You'd learn so much more here with Uncle Tony and Uncle Bruce." I offered and he chuckled.
"I might take you up on that." He smiled and he kissed my head, "You up to eating?" He asked. I nodded and he helped me out of bed and into the kitchen where my family were all waiting. After a lot of fussing, my family finally let me sat down, with he help of Peter, and eat.
"Hey Pete" I whispered to my boyfriend who sat next to me.
"thank you for helping me." I smiled.
"Я люблю тебя, детка (I love you, baby)" I smiled up at him.
"Я тоже люблю тебя, мой маленький лучник (I love you too, my little archer)" He whispered back, I lean and and kiss him softly.
"STARK, CAN YOU GET YOUR DIRTY SPIDER SON OF OFF OF MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER!" my dad shouted, making us all laugh. I winced a little at the pain in my head but smiled as my dad and Tony began yelling profanities at each other, I rested my head on Pete's shoulder, sighing happily, looking at the people sat at the table around me, Mum, Dad, Uncle Tony, Aunt Pepper, Uncle Bruce, my 'sister' Wanda, Vision, Uncle Steve, Uncle Bucky and my amazing, wonderful boyfriend Peter Parker. The people I love the most, my family.
