Ash POV

I woke up to find the bed empty and the smell of pancakes coming through the door.
I put on my slippers and went downstairs to find Ben in the kitchen cooking breakfast.

"You cook?" I say announcing my presence with a smile.
"Good morning love. And yes I cook. Can I get any better."
I laughed at that as I walked to the coffee machine.
"Hum I don't know, i think you've peaked at perfect." I gave him a kiss at the end of that.
"I like that but don't worry there's still more to uncover about me that you'll love."
"I can't wait." I say with a smile sipping my coffee.

As we are eating our pancakes my phone went off.
"Hello?"
"Morning Ash."
"Morning Pepper. What can I do for you?"
"Are you at the new york house?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Just curious. How are you getting here today?"
"We're going to take the jet from the pool than I'll set it to fly itself home."
"Alright. Wait we?"
"Yeah I invited Ben. I hope that's ok."
"Of course it is. I know Tony was very fond of him. That and Steve, Sam and Bucky are here with Peter who just accidentally said Ben's name so I'm getting a look."
*Laughing* "ok I'll drown Parker when I get there. We'll be flying out soon. We're having breakfast right now."
"Ok. Who made it?"
"Ben did. The man can cook and make a decent coffee."
*Laughing* " I told you he was perfect for you."
"Yeah you did. Alright I'm going to finish than go get dressed and all that. Tell them I say hi."
"I will. Love you."
"Love you too."
The call ended and I looked at Ben with another funny scared face.

"Oh great, Peter told them about me. I'm a dead man."
I laughed at his adorable funniness.
"You'll be fine. They'll love you."
"I hope."
"They will." I gave him a kiss before going upstairs to take a quick shower and change into my dress.

I lead us to the pool on the roof that isn't for swimming in but storing the quin jet.
"Wow."
"I know right."
"Can you fly it?"
"No not yet. Friday is going to fly it."
"Ok that makes me feel better."
I'm laughed at that as we got on and took off.

We got there in about a hour and landed to see Winter there waiting with a smile.
I ran and hugged him.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too honey."
I smiled as Ben came off the plane.
"Winter this is Ben. Ben this is Winter."
Ben shook his hand with a smile.
"So you're the boyfriend. Hummmm
Ok I don't have to kill you."
"That's it?"
"I trust your judgement and he seems like a good kid and I'll ask why he has a bow and arrows over his shoulder.
"Oh archery is my preferred weapon of choice. Figured I'd bring it."
"Clint's going to like you."

"I told you." I whispered before kissing his cheek taking his hand and we walked over to the cabin as the plane flew itself home.

Ben stood by Parker and May as I was up front with Pepper, Happy, Rodes and Morgan. Who apparently is my sister.
She looks so much like him.

After the video Morgan ran upstairs and I followed her.
"Morgan?"
She's on her bed crying.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't be crying."
"Where did you get that idea?"
"Dad told me that my sister never cried and I want to be like her."
"Oh honey." I said sitting on her bed.
"I can tell you for a fact that Ash cries. When she emotionally and physically sad. Like now."
"How do you know that?"
"Because I'm Ash."
Her eyes started to tear up as she hugged me tight.
"I've wanted to meet you my whole life."
"Oh Morgan. I've wanted to meet you your whole life."
I gave her a kiss on her head.

"Thanks Dad. I'll take good care of her." I said to the room knowing he was there.
Watching over us.

We went back downstairs and I needed some air so I went down in the yard.
Ben is somewhere probably being interrogated.
I'll go rescue him later.

I saw out of the corner of my eye a guy walking to his car.
Harley.

"Hey Harley right? The potato gun kid."
He let out a little laugh as I walked up.
"Yeah that's me. And you're Ash. The adopted kid."
"Yeah that's me. I'm the officially adopted kid. You and Parker are his kids too. Tony had a way of taking broken and lonely kids and making them his own."
"Yeah he did. I miss him."
"We all do. So in his will, Pepper has Stark Industries but I got the Avengers. That means I need to build a team. You in?"
"I don't have powers or anything like that."
"You're smart. I bet you've built more than the potato gun since he last saw you."
"I'm not a hero Ash."
"That sentence is exactly what I want to hear from the potential members. I'm looking for kids who have the skills and don't think they can help. I'm going to show them they can. Besides I think you'd look good in the iron man suit. Think about it. I'll call you when we need you."
"I didn't give you my number."
"You didn't have to." I said tapping my temples.
"Drive safe potato gun." I said before walking away as he drove off.

I found Ben waiting for me on the back porch.

"Who was that?"

"A candidate for the new avengers."
