Kennedy's POV

"What kinds of games should we play?"

"Do we need music? I could hire a live band."

"We must have plenty of mead!" These are some of the comments I hear as I head to the kitchen for breakfast, the source of the sound turns out to be Wanda, Tony, and Thor, in their pajamas sitting at the bar discussing, who knows what. My curiosity about the conversation is forgotten when the sweet smell of turkey bacon reaches my nose. I take a seat at the bar just as Pepper sets down a plate full of sizzling bacon, I take a piece and start munching on it as I listen into the rest of the conversation.

"Okay, so Cap, Bucky, and Nat will be here this afternoon according to Fury. And Sam, Rhodey, and Scott all say they'll be here." Tony lists of names of his fellow Avengers.

"What about T'Challa and Clint, did you call them yet?" Wanda asks hopefully.

"Yeah I called them, I couldn't get a hold of Clint, but surprisingly T'Challa is passing through on his way home from some diplomatic meeting, he says he'd love to stop by for a while." Tony reaches to grab a piece of bacon and notices me sitting there. "Oh hey Firecracker, Wanda and I we're just planning the party for tonight."

"Cool, is there anything I can help with?" I ask, taking another piece of bacon.

"Yeah, you could find Peter and ask him what he did with my clipboard," He shoves the bacon in his mouth then gestures behind me, "Nevermind, there he is. Hey kid, what happened to my clipboard?"

"It's in the lab, where you told me to put it." Peter sits beside me and takes some bacon. Everyone else soon comes down and breakfast continues with much excited talk about the party, everyone throwing in their thoughts and suggestions. After breakfast Wanda and Vision go out on a shopping trip with a list of things to get for the party, Peter retires to the lab to work on some project he won't tell me about, and I end up sitting on the couch listening to Tony argue with one of his employees over the phone. Which ends up being less boring then I thought it would be, I get a sneak peek at what stark industries is trying to cook up next.But even the most curious girl can't listen to scientists talk forever, and soon I tune out the conversation and retreat into my mind to wonder what it will be like to meet Captain America, my favorite Avenger! I'd better not say that in front of the other Avengers, in fact probably best not to say it at all if I don't want to look like a dork, my thoughts are interrupted by a, now familiar, sound from the ceiling.

"Mr. Stark, Captain Rogers, Miss Romanov and Mr. Barnes have just arrives." My heart speeds up when I hear her, I'm going to meet my hero! I jump up off the couch prepared to follow Tony down to greet them, but surprisingly Tony just continues talking as if he didn't notice. I sit back down, confused, I guess I could go down there by myself, I think I'm allowed, but I don't really want to present myself to Captain America without an introduction, I decide to just wait until he goes. So i sit, and wait, and twiddle my thumbs impatiently, but Tony shows no sign of hanging up. Until Pepper walks in, as soon as Tony sees her face he says,

"Hey Chad, we're gonna have to talk about this later, I gotta go." He puts away his phone and greets Pepper nervously, "What did I do this time?"

"They're here, and you didn't go down to greet them. I know they live here but it's still your place and you should have been there to meet them." Pepper says in a disappointed tone.

"Wait, go back, they're here? F.R.I.D.A.Y. why didn't you tell me?" He accuses, looking to the ceiling for his answer.

"Actually she did, but you we're on the phone and didn't notice." I offer. Tony looks ar me as if he just noticed I'm here.

"Why didn't you me?"

"I figured that whatever you we're talking about was important, I didn't want to bug you." I defend

"It doesn't matter," Pepper sighs, "They went to their rooms to put their gear away and they said they'll be down in a minute." As if on cue, the people in question step out of the elevator.

"Capsicle! Good to see you, how was the mission?" Tony questions as he greets Steve with a handshake. Butterflies instantly invade my stomach at the sight of Captain America and Black Widow.

"We got the job done, and it's good to be home." Steve replies as Tony turns to hug Natasha, then shakes the hand of the man I assume is Bucky, he doesn't look like the kind of guy who would work for Hydra, he has blue eyes that could never be mistaken for anything other than blue, and his short brown hair is combed in much the same style as Steve's, and. . . Wait is that a metal hand? That has to be armor, but why would he still be wearing it only on his hand, it must be a prosthetic. I turn my attention back to the conversation in hopes of getting some clues about the hand. I am not disappointed, Tony is in the middle of asking him if it needs a tune up. That is amazing! He really has a hand made of metal. As I watch Bucky with wide eyes I notice Steve's eyes lock into me, and at the next available lul in the conversation he asks,

"Tony, is there someone you want to introduce us to?" All eyes turn toward me, and I can feel my cheeks heating up. I'm sure that they are visibly red, thinking about it only makes them heat up more.

"Oh yeah, this is our new resident hacker, courtesy of S.H.I.E.L.D. prison." Tony introduces me, I wave and give a shy smile.

"So you are harboring S.H.I.E.L.D. prisoners now Tony?" Steve asks with a hint of frustration in his voice.

"Not harboring, holding." Tony clarifies.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. can't hold it's own prisoners? They have to send them to you?" The tension starts raising in Steve's voice. "And you let her wander around the tower?" He finishes accusingly.

"She's fifteen, she made a mistake." Tony defends.

"She's a criminal." Steve counters.

"She's standing right here." I interject, again all eyes are on me. O gulp, regretting saying anything, too late now, I gotta say something. "You haven't met me yet, you don't even know what I did and you're already marking me down as a horrible person, hove have been my hero since I saw you at my school when I was nine, and I don't remember you as someone who judges people before they you know them. Yes I got too curious and made a mistake, but believe me I learned my lesson, everyone else can give me a shot, why can't you?" Everyone is silent for a moment and Steve looks at his feet. Tony looks proud of my speech and watches Steve, waiting for his answer.

"I'm sorry, and you're right, it's not like me to act that way, it's just been a long day. So why don't we just start this introduction over." He pauses and sticks out his hand. "Hi, I'm Steve Rogers." I shake his hand revert back to fangirl mode.

"I'm Kennedy."

"Nice to meet you Kennedy, what brings you to the tower?" He asks hesitantly as if afraid to hear the answer.

"Like I said I got curious, and I may have hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database."

"That's actually pretty impressive," He turns back to Tony, "But I'm still not sure I like having a criminal girl we don't know wandering around the tower."

"One, get used to it because it's Fury's orders. Two, we," He gestures to himself and Pepper, "Do know her. And three, I'm sure your bestie over there had done much worse things than her." Steve glares at Tony and is about to open his mouth, but Bucky cuts in,

"He's got a point Stevie, I don't think you have any grounds to dislike her," He smiles charmingly at me and puts out his metal hand for a handshake, I take it and it's surprisingly not cold like I thought it would be, "Hi Doll, I'm Bucky, nice to meet you."

"You to, um, can I ask, is your hand really made of metal?" I ask carefully, not wanting to offend him. He just chuckles.

"Actually my whole arm is." He rolls up his sleeve to reveal that the metal extends far past his wrist. My jaw drops as I marvel at the sophisticated prosthetic. Next Natasha walks up to me and shakes my hand.

"Don't mind those two," She gestures to Tony and Steve, "They never agree on anything, and those two," She points to Steve and Bucky, "Only pretend they agree on everything. And between you and me," She lowers her voice to a whisper, "I may have leaked all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files onto the internet at one point." I start to respond but Tony's voice cuts me off.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we're having a party tonight."

"As much as I want to see everyone, can it wait, we just got back, we're exhausted." Steve protests.

"Nope, T'Challa is only in town for tonight. I suggest you get some rest so you're not a bummer at the party."

"Come on Steve, a party sounds like fun after being gone for so long." Bucky persuades.

"I'm in," Natasha agrees, "But I'm gonna need a nap first." She intertwines her fingers with Bucky's and the two of them start to walk away, with Steve close behind. When they're gone I sit back down on the couch, and Tony comes and sits next to me.

"I'm impressed, not many people would stand up to their hero like that." He emphasises the word hero, making me chuckle.

"No offense."

"Too late, I'm already offended, I can't believe you would chose the star spangled downer over me." He jokes, I can't help but lauw,gh. "Anyway, we better start getting ready if we're gonna pull off this party, let's call in the troops. F.R.I.D.A.Y. call everyone to the common room except for Nat, Cap, and Bucky." A few minutes later, Vision, Wanda, Thor, Bruce and Peter are all crowded on the couch with us, and Pepper stands in front of us with a clipboard in hand.

"Alright, Tony you're in charge of music and lights for the dance floor, Kennedy and Peter need to clear the furniture here in the lounge to make room for dancing, THor has requested to be in charge of party games, and Wanda and Vision are in charge of cleaning and decorating, I'll make some horderves and dessert."Tony salutes and everyone splits up to get their tasks done. Peter and I decide that we will move all the furniture against the wall, opening up the room to the bat. We manage to move the chairs, the coffee table, and with some struggle, the smaller couch, but when we get to the big couch we have trouble. Conveniently Thor comes up to ask our opinion of his party games, we tell him we'll help him with the games if he helps us move the couch. I watch in amazement as Thor moves the couch with ease, then tells us the games he came up with. We manage to convince him that a wrestling match probably isn't the best idea, and suggest a board game instead. As Thor goes off to gather his games Tony calls Peter for help, so I go to the kitchen to help Pepper. While I'm in the kitchen stirring brownie batter, Natasha comes in, apparently done with her nap.

"What can I help with?" She asks, tasting some of pepper's french onion dip.

"Um, can you be in charge of pizza? I think we need at least ten boxes, maybe twelve with Thor here." Pepper instructs.

"Sure, any special requests?" She asks, Pulling out her phone.

"Make sure you get one without pepperoni." I request. She nods and walks away. With some time spent baking, and some helping with the decorations, and a whole lot of vacuuming, everything is finally ready, the room is sparkling clean, and from the ceiling hang colored streamers. The bar is crowded with snacks, and the coffee table is piled with board games. Bucky and Steve are up now, and are helping Tony mount a disco ball from the ceiling. Natasha spots me sitting on a bar stool and comes over to me.

"Shouldn't you be getting ready?" She asks.

"What do you mean? Get ready for what?"

"It's a party, aren't you gonna dress up nice?"

"It's not like it's a fancy party, besides, I don't really have anything nice to wear."

"That's okay, you can borrow some of mine." She turns around to where Pepper and Wanda are talking, "Ladies," She says to get their attention, "Follow me." She leads the three of us into the elevator and presses a button, I assume for her floor.

"Where are we going?" Asks Wanda.

"We're going to get ready for the party, I have plenty of party dresses for everyone." Natasha says proudly.

"I wasn't planning on getting dressed up." Pepper protests.

"Come on, it's a party, when's the last time you got dresses up for a party?" Natasha accuses. Pepper looks thoughtful, trying to think of a time. "THat's it, it's decided, you're wearing a dress." When the elevator stops and we get out, the first thing Natasha does is lead us to her closet. We all start looking through all her dresses, Natasha pulls out a dark green dress and holds it up to me, it falls about to my knees, she nods with satisfaction then goes back to looking. Pulling out a red dress with a lace bodice for herself, and a long silvery blue dress for Pepper. Wanda found a black dress with gold decoration for herself. We all put on our dresses and natasha starts getting out the things for nails and hair. Pepper sits me down in front of her and makes me take off my hat so she can curl my hair, Natasha makes me promise not to put it back on and ruin my hair, and Wanda takes my hands and starts painting my nails as Natasha braids her hair. Eventually we all get our hair and nails done and we move on to makeup, it feels weird as Natasha works on my face, I have never worn makeup before. As we talk and laugh Wanda comments that she is outnumbered by all the redheads, and I realize for the first time that Pepper, Natasha, and myself all have red hair. Finally Natasha is satisfied with all of our looks and we head back downstairs together, earning us all some compliments from the guys.

The first person to arrive is Scott, T'Challa shows up not long after that, and of course there are introductions, and he tells me that if I was in Wakanda I would have gone to prison. Soon Sam and Rhodey arrive and the party officially starts. People start snacking and catching up, Tony asks where the pizza is and Nat assures him that it's on it's way. Then Thor brings out his hammer and Tony challenges T'Challa to try lifting it, when he can't, Tony insists on trying even though he has apparently tried before, and it starts a chain reaction of everybody trying. Right after Bruce has his turn a voice is heard from the other side of the room.

"You guys started the party without me? How rude." Everyone stops and the room is silent as we all turn to see Clint Barton standing in front of the elevator with pizza in his hands. Then a wave of greeting rolls through the crowd, and someone asks,

"What are you doing in the city?"

"I was dropping my daughter off at an overnight thing, I thought I'd come over and say hi, then Nat texted me to bring pizza." Clint sets down the Pizza and everyone crowds around to greet him. I feel someone pushing on my back and look up to see Tony ushering me forward until I stand in front of Clint freaking Barton! AKA Hawkeye! AKA the greatest marksmen in this world!

"Clint, this is Kennedy, Fury sent her to stay with us for a while." I wave as Tony introduces me.

"Nice to have you, why did fury send you here?" Clint asks. My shoulders slump at the prospect of retelling my story one more time.

"You know, I'm getting really tired of telling this story, there better not be any more of you to tell it to." I say with a sigh. Clint laughs.

"Well now i'm even more curious."

"Long story short, I hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D. I got caught, and now I'm here." Clint nods his head thoughtfully.

"This doesn't seem like much of a punishment to me." He says glancing around at the party going on around us.

"No, but to be fair, I was grounded to my room for a week." Our conversation is cut off by wanda yelling across the room,

"Clint it's your turn, come on." HE walks over to the center of the room where the hammer is sitting, and giving a cocky smile he bends over and pulls with all his might, he yanks, and pulls, and doesn't budge, finally his hands slip and he falls to the floor. Laughter bursts out from everyone in the room. Clint picks himself up and the next person takes center stage, person after person tries and fails as Thor sits laughing at everyone. My turn begins and ends quickly when the hammer refuses to come off the ground, finally Vision moves to the center of the room with a smile on his face, he is the only person left who hasn't tried to lift the hammer yet, to my surprise he scoops it up easily as if it's a flower being plucked from the ground. He turns and hands the hammer to Thor, ending the game with shouts of "Showoff!" From the other Avengers. Now that the game is over people start breaking into the pizza. It's Absolutely mind blowing to see all the Avengers in one room, I guess they really did get the reunion they wanted. Thor even invited his friends Jane and Darcy. Jane is apparently a science nerd, and started explaining to Tony how his arc reactor might be affected by the celestial cycles. The conversation somehow attracts Bruce, Peter and me like a magnet, drawing us from our different parts of the room, and starting a spur of the moment nerd club meeting. The evening goes on with lots more games, and Eventually Tony opens up the alcohol and turns on the music. The alcohol prompts Darcy to start telling jokes, causing a chain reaction of laughing and more jokes. I sit on the couch eating more pizza, and watching Wanda try to teach Vision how to dance. At the bar Tony is trying to convince Thor to share his Asgardian mead. Peter sits down next to me with a brownie in hand.

"How do you like the brownies? I made them." I probe.

"Their great, I can't get enough of them." He replies, stuffing the rest in his mouth. "How do you like the party?"

"It's pretty good for the first party i've been to in five years."

"I bet you haven't danced much in that time either, so you wanna dance?" A smile spreads across my face and Peter grabs my hand to pull me onto the dance floor, the two of us start dancing around like crazy people to the rhythm of the pop music. With music and disco ball we all dance late into the night. At some point I find myself cozy in my bed with no memory of how I got here.
