Young Avengers: Child's Play [1]

Twelve

Emma POV

Since it was the weekend, and I had my school work done. I thought since the tower was my new home, that I'd have some fun.

I found myself to the kitchen and pulled out the milk, looking at the expiration date, I frowned and threw it away. Instead I found a can of soda to open.

"Making yourself at home?" I turn to see Tony.

I shut the fridge, "Uh- thanks for letting my mom and I stay here."

He smiles, "It's no problem. I mean with Bruce away on a mission and Pepper still visiting family, I was growing kind of lonely."

I had reached in a cabinet and pulled out a box of Fruit Loops. I opened the box and started to feed it to myself.

"What kind of mission?" I ask.

He grins, "Top secret."

I nod, "Alright." Then I pointed to the fridge, "Also you need to go grocery shopping."

Tony began to laugh, "I'm Tony Stark," He starts, "I don't go grocery shopping."

He heads off muttering to himself that he was going to call Happy and have him do so. I finished snacking for my breakfast, and decided to head back to my room and maybe finish my chapter in my book.

As I was walking down the hallway, I nearly bumped into Vision. He was just walking through wall to wall. He stopped upon seeing me.

"Oh hello, Miss Emma Sterling." He said.

I awkwardly smile, "Calling me Emma is fine. No need to be all formal."

He nods, "Noted."

I crossed my arms on my chest, "So uh- what are you up to, Vision?"

"Oh just taking a small walk around." He said, "Possibly going to make myself something to eat."

I grin, "Have fun with that."

He didn't seem to understand that phrase and I walked onward. I passed a few other rooms, some with labels on them. Bruce's room. Natasha's room.

Both Bruce and Natasha were missing. Bruce was on some mission that Tony mentioned, but I don't know why Natasha was missing.

I walk by Vision's room and then Wanda's room. I saw Wanda's door open, revealing the Russian superhero.

"Oh, hello." Wanda said.

"Hi," I greeted.

"How are you adjusting here?" She asks.

I smile, "Alright. I know my mom is so amazed by all of this." I said.

Wanda smiles, "Living here can be quite overwhelming to any outsider." She said.

I nod, "Uh do you know where Natasha and Bruce are?"

She shakes her head, "I only know Bruce is on some sort of top secret mission and Natasha left after you and your mother moved in. She wasn't vocal about where she was going."

I nod frowning, "Ah," I said, "I hope me being here with my mom didn't get people upset."

"Nonsense," Wanda said, "Like Tony we all want to keep you and your mother safe."

I smile.

Wanda placed her hand on my shoulder and I looked up at her. The women standing before me looked wise beyond her years, she couldn't be more than ten years older than me. Only guessing at this moment.

"We may not pick our family," Wanda said, "But you did get lucky to find yourself with such a good family here."

I kept my smile, "Yeah. It all started because Peter picked up my wallet that fell from my pocket."
