Chapter 5: Avengers Tower
Hi guys! so sorry I haven't updated this one in a while I don't know why this chapter was so hard. Also I will be going on vacation so I might not post anything for a while, but don't worry, I will be working on the story.

Kennedy's POV
We fly around for some time taking in the view of the city, agent Coulson points out the different New York landmarks as we pass them. The wind feels nice as it blows past my face and the fresh crisp air is refreshing after three days in that stuffy cell. As I sit staring out into space my current situation starts to sink in.
"I can't believe i'm going to live at Avengers Tower." I almost whisper, resting my chin in my hand.
"You're pretty lucky, if you were a few years older they probably would have left you in that cell. Are you ready to head to the tower?" He glances my way as he finishes. I nod my head,
"I just hope I don't act like a total dork in front of Tony Stark again."
"I know how you feel, I felt pretty dorky the first time I met Captain America." He chuckles.
"Do you think I'll get to meet Captain America?" I ask eagerly.
"If you're lucky you'll get to meet all the Avengers."
This is gonna be the highlight of my fangirl life! I need try and tone down the fangirling and not make a fool of myself."
"Trust me, when you're around Stark fangirl all you want, he loves the attention. The captain on the other hand, doesn't like being treated like a celebrity and would rather have a nice conversation with you and tell you stories about the old days."
"That's good to know, got any other getting along with the avengers tips?" He smiles and proceeds to tell me how Natasha will probably teach me everything she knows if I start asking questions, and how Clint is super casual and acts like a big brother to any younger agents who come along, and that Bucky is really quiet but if you can get him talking he'll talk to you for hours. I listen intently to his advice until we arrive at the tower, the hover-car slows to a halt and sets down right outside the door. Agent Coulson gets out and I follow as he walks through the tall front doors. Inside I find myself looking across an enormous lobby, my eyes wander upward to see the towering ceiling adorned with shiny globe shaped chandeliers.
"Wait over there." Agent Coulson tells me as he starts walking in the other direction. I look in the direction he pointed and and find some white couches spaced around with coffee tables between them, as I walk toward the couches I look around some more and notice some other things besides the size. The floor is covered in white tile and the walls are painted grey and white, most of the decor has hints of chrome, even the couch I am sitting on has chrome feet. If this is just the lobby I can't wait to see the other floors, I wonder where I will be staying. My thoughts are interrupted by the voice of a woman saying,
"Kennedy I assume?" I look up and see a tall with hair, just as vibrant as mine, pulled back into a tight ponytail. I stand up and respond,
"Um, yes, I'm Kennedy." She puts out her hand and I shake it.
"My name is-"
"Pepper, I know." I cut her off with a huge grin on my face. From behind Pepper I notice Agent Coulson and Tony Stark walking up together.
"Kennedy, welcome." He says before he even reaches me.
"Thank you for letting me stay, it's amazing to be here Mr. Stark." I manage to say the word I've been rehearsing in my head all day, and allow an ear to ear smile to sneak onto my face.
"Well it's not like I have much of a choice, And hey, call me Tony." He walks away with Agent Coulson as he speaks and I am left alone with Pepper again.
"Follow me, I'll show you where you'll be staying." Pepper starts walking toward the elevator at the other end of the lobby and obviously I follow her. We get in the elevator and she pushes the button for floor 82, I look over the rest of the buttons, there are 92 floors! Wow, I knew this building was tall but I didn't think it was 92 floors tall! A soft tune plays in the elevator as I feel us lurch upward, I feel awkward standing in silence, but I have no clue what to say to this woman I never thought i'd meet. Luckily it's only a few seconds before the elevator dings and the door opens. Pepper steps out and opens a door only a few steps away from the elevator.
"We are setting up a room for you but since this is such short notice you will have to stay in the guest room tonight." Pepper explains, I walk past her into the room, it's huge! This is more like an apartment than a bedroom. The walls are painted blue and grey contrasting the tan carpet, there is a large bed on one end of the room, a couch and TV on the other, and two doors along one wall. "The bathroom is through that door," Pepper points, "Stay in this room unless someone comes to get you. If you need anything just ask F.R.I.D.A.Y. that's the buildings A.I. system."
"I know." I inform her turning from the room back toward her.
"Of course you do." She comments with a friendly smile before closing the door behind her. I have a hunch that she locked it, after a few seconds I try the doorknob, yup, locked. I look around the room again and start to explore, looking in all the drawers and shelves, There is a surprising amount of stuff in the room considering that it's just a guest room. The drawers are filled with stuff like sticky notes, an iPhone charger, batteries, bandages, a camera lense and a compact flash card. On the bookshelf I find mostly science books, chemistry, physics, computer sciences, I flip through the computer sciences one before moving on. There is also the complete lord of the rings trilogy, as well as a book about photography. The next thing I notice is a guitar hanging on the wall, it strikes me as odd that there is such a specific display of interests in this room. When I finish looking over the main room I open one of the doors in the wall and walk into the biggest closet I have ever seen, it seems even bigger considering that it's mostly empty. WHo could possibly need this much closet space. Right by the door there are a few items of clothes, all of which are boys clothes for some reason. I walk out of the closet and start heading toward the bathroom, on my way ther I notice some clothes laying on the bed, there is a jean skirt and a purple t shirt. Awesome, a change of clothes, I grab them and head into the bathroom. The bathroom is just as supersized as the closet, everything is clean and white and expensive looking, this is what I've been waiting for, I turn on the shower and let it get hot.
When I finish with my shower I put on the fresh clothes, feeling clean and refreshed. Steam rolls out of the bathroom when I open the door. The clock on the wall says it's 12:30 I walk over to the book shelf planning on getting a book, but nearly jump out of my skin when a woman's voice addresses me.
"Hello miss Kennedy, Mrs. Stark would like me to ask you if you would like anything to eat." I calm down when I realize it's F.R.I.D.A.Y.
"Um, no thanks, not right now." I don't think I could eat anything with my stomach still so full of butterflies. I grab the first Lord Of The Rings book and go over to lay on the bed. As soon as my back touches the mattress I close my eyes and just melt, this is so comfortable, sure I havn't slept on a bed in a while, but I didn't even know it was possible to be this comfortable. I lay there for a few minutes just relaxing before picking up the book to read.
After laying on the bet for an unknown amount of time I have made a few chapters progress into the book. I hear the door start to open and sit up to see who is there. I am more than a little surprised to see a teenage boy come through the door rather than Tony or Pepper. He doesn't look my way but heads straight for the closet where he drope his duffel bag, then he comes out and starts taking things out of his backpack, he obviously has no idea i'm here.
"Um, hi?" I say to get his attention, he spins around quickly with his arms raised as if he is going to karate chop me, when he sees me he immediately starts talking a million miles an hour.
"Oh us sorry I know this is the guest room just usually its my room so I wasn't really expecting anyone to be in here I guess I should have-"
"Hey, slow down, it's fine. Who are you anyway?" I cut him off, he hesitated for a second before saying,
"Uh Peter, Peter Parker."
"Wait a second, you're the boy who took my seat at the coffee shop!" I announce in sudden realization.
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Four days ago you we're at a coffee shop in central park, you we're sitting at a small table at the very back of the store right?" He looks up as if he's thinking hard.
"Yeah I guess so, why?" He asks, looking slightly creeped out.
"That was my seat, I go there every day, and finding someone sitting in my seat really ruined my day, that among other things."
"Well uh, sorry. Actually I think I do remember seeing you, what are you doing here?"
"I'm Tony's. . . guest. My names Kennedy by the way. And what about you, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I'm a scientist for stark industries, well actually I'm an intern but a guy can dream can't he?" He jokes, causing me to chuckle.
"Well that explains why there's all those science books on the shelf. And don't worry, Pepper says she's putting together another room for me, I will be out of here by tomorrow I think."
"Oh okay, I guess I can ask Bruce to let me sleep on his couch for tonight."
"Bruce Banner is here, now?" My inner fangirl is starting to come out once again.
"He should be, he doesn't usually go anywhere. Haven't you been here before?"
"No, this is my first time, I don't really know my way around." I hint.
"Well if you want I could give you a tour." He offers exactly what I was aiming for.
"That would be awesome!" I'm eager to get out of this room and explore the tower.
"Alright, follow me, but first let's get some food, i'm starving."
"I've been following people around a lot today." I follow him out of the room and into the elevator, realizing that I am getting hungry as well since I refused lunch earlier. Peter pushes the button for floor 81 and we travel downward. When we reach the floor I am greeted by yet another amazing room this tower has, there are couches and tables centered around an enormous flat screen TV, at one side of the great room there is an open kitchen complete with every appliance you could ask for and more.
"This is the common room," Peter explains as he heads toward the kitchen, "It's where everyone usually hangs out, well when there here anyway." He opens the fridge and pulls out some lunch meat, " Would you grab the bread?" He points to a box on the counter, which I promptly open and place the bread next to all the things he has laid out. He opens up the bread and starts making a sandwich, I quickly follow his actions.
When we're finished with our sandwiches Peter leads me back to the elevator, our first stop is Bruce's floor, Peter Explains to me on our way up that floors 83-89 are each of the Avengers privat floors, except for Tony, his floor is number 80. We step out on floor 83, there is a small entryway between the elevator and the room. Peter knocks on the door and after a second it's opened by Bruce Banner, looking like he just woke up. I struggle not to squeal at meeting him.
"Hey Dr. Banner, I got kicked out of my room tonight, can I crash in your couch?"
"Uuu, sure, why did you get kicked out?"
"She took my room." He points at me and I scoff.
"Only because you took my seat." I quip, Bruce looks rather confused but says,
"That's fine, I'll leave the door unlocked." Peter says thanks and we move on to the next floor, which turns out to be the top floor, number 92. When we reach the top I see what instantly becomes my favorite room in the tower. The walls are made completely of glass as well as part of the ceiling, looking out I can see the bustling city below, and right in the center of the open room is a huge swimming pool. We take some time to enjoy the view and then get back to the elevator. Peter shows me the gym, and after that our last stop is the rec-room, this room is filled with every game you can think or, board games, video games, ping-pong, you name it, I look around for a second before spotting what I want.
"I bet I can beat you at foosball!" I shout before running off toward the table.
"Oh we'll see about that!" Peter's voice sounds from behind me, and I hear his feet hitting the ground as he sprints after me.
