008 ↠ Mr. Thor, sir

"I'm starting to have second thoughts about this" Romeo admitted as he nervously looked around the elevator.

"I never liked it from the beginning" Ophelia sighed and crossed her arms across her chest as she leaned against the wall.

"Too late to change your minds now" Agent Hill told the duo.

After Romeo and Ophelia got what they needed, they went downstairs to join agent Hill and Nick Fury. But as they walked across the lobby and looked through the glass doors, they didn't see the man, they only saw Hill standing by a black car.

Fury had to leave, so Romeo and Ophelia were left with Hill, which didn't bother them because they like her better than Fury. On the way to the Avengers Tower, they were briefed on the situation, but they still couldn't believe that Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, created a murder bot.

Now the trio are in an elevator in Avengers Tower, on their way up to meet the famous team.

"What are they like?" Romeo asked Hill. The elevator came to a stop and the doors slid open.

"You'll see" she told him before walking out the elevator. They followed after her and were greeted by a mess.

Glass scattered all over the floor, tables, and furniture broken in half, holes and gunshots on the walls.

"Must've been some party" Romeo muttered, his brown eyes scanning the room.

"Actually, it was fun" Hill admitted "until Ultron attacked"

"You mean the fire nation attacked?" Romeo grinned.

Hill furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and glanced over at Ophelia. The young woman took in a deep breath and shrugged.

"You get used to him after a while" she said "but seriously, you've never seen Avatar? I used to watch it when I was a kid"

"Okay!" Hill sighed and turned on her heels and continued walking.

Romeo and Ophelia followed her up some stairs. They didn't have enough time to look around from upstairs because they heard voices and the closer they got, the louder it was.

"Alright, listen up!" Maria Hill said loud and clear. The talking people stopped and turned to face Hill. They also spotted the two people behind her.

"Woah, Hill, you didn't say you have a son" Tony Stark said when he spotted babyface Romeo.

Romeo gave a sharp inhale and frowned. Ophelia brought a hand up her mouth to hide her smile.

"How old is he, thirteen?" Tony asked.

Romeo's frown deepened while Ophelia looked down and tried not to laugh.

"I don't have any children, Stark" Hill said in irritation "this is Ophelia Verona" she motioned to the girl who is still looking down "the storybook girl"

Ophelia's head shot up, all humor gone and replaced with a frown "Storybook girl? I refused to be known as the Storybook girl!"

"Right, the girl who's going to read Ultron a bedtime story" Tony nodded. Ophelia glared at him.

"Its more than a bedtime story" Hill informed "and this is Romeo Wilde. He has the same skills as Ophelia. Actually he's the one who agreed to help and Ophelia-"

"I'm here for moral support" she interrupted "well only for Roo because I honestly could care less about your problems"

"What a ray of sunshine" Bruce Banner muttered.

"Look, no offense, but we don't need two kids poking around here" Steve spoke up "I mean, you're what, sixteen? Seventeen?" He told Romeo "you're a little young to join the Avengers"

"And you're a little too old to be alive!" Romeo shot back.

Ophelia couldn't hold it back and she erupted in laughter. Tony also laughed loudly and gestured to Romeo with an open hand "I like this kid!"

"Yes, he does look like a kid. How old are you?" Thor quirked an eyebrow and stared at Romeo.

The young man gasped and stared at Thor wide-eyed "Mr. Thor, sir! I'm a huge fan. Oh my god, you're so great. Oh my god. Hello, hi" he furiously waved at the tall blond man.

"I agree with everything he says" Ophelia pointed at Romeo, as she too is in a small fangirl daze. Thor smiled warmly at them, and their hearts skipped a beat.

"Ishay arestay" Ophelia told Romeo "iway inkthay I'mway egnantpray"

"Meway ootay" Romeo replied.

"What language is that?" Clint asked in confusion.

"A useful one if the Maximoff's don't know it" Natasha smirked "how old are you"

"Twenty three" they both replied.

"Same age as those kids" Clint realized "but seriously, what language was that?"

"Pig Latin" Natasha answered.

"See, they're great" Hill said proudly.

"I don't know. I'm still iffy about their abilities" Tony took a step closer to them.

Ophelia doesn't really care for their problem, and she hates being a Silvertongue, but no matter how much she hates it, there will always be a very small part of her that will defend being a Silvertongue. Also, she likes to challenge people.

"Tell me, what did you see during the alien attack?" She asked the billionaire.

"I saw a giant peach that I wanted to take a bite out of!" Clint immediately answered.

"I saw Mad Eye Moody" Tony said.

"I saw a swarm of very big wasps" Steve added.

"Where did you think they came from?" She asked the group.

Tony opened his mouth to answer but quickly closed it. He's not sure where it all came from, he's probably not exactly sure what happened that day. He kept wondering where the wizards and the giant peach came from but he never came to a conclusion. Not until Maria Hill told him and the rest of the Avengers about a girl who can bring books to life.

"James and the Giant Peach. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Hunger Games" Ophelia quickly named the books she used that day "they were there because I read them out. I read them out to kill those things coming out of the asshole in the sky. Do you want to know how it works?" Ophelia asked the billionaire.

"I wouldn't mind a little demonstration" he shrugged.

"Well you're just going to have to wait" she smirked "and let me be honest with you, I don't want to be here, but I am. So you all have two choices: you accept the help you are given, or deny us and we'll go back our merry way"

"You sure know how to bargain" Steve crossed his arms across his chest.

The brunette smiled at him "I'm Italian. I make offers you can't refuse"

"With that attitude, you'll either single-handedly bring down Ultron, or be the first one to get killed" Tony told Ophelia.

Ophelia shrugged "shall we ask the magic eight ball?" She went to roll her shoulders to get the small backpack off.

"You brought a magic eight ball?" Romeo asked in disbelief.

"It was already in there. I was too lazy to take it out" she answered.

"They are actual children" Bruce sighed and rubbed his eyes.

"Well, they were watching Barbie this morning" Hill told the Avengers.

"You say that like its a bad thing" Romeo scoffed.

"Okay, I'm going to leave them in your care. Have fun with them. Oh, and they need two tablets with easy access to books" Hill smiled at the team before walking out of the room.

"Hey, they didn't say if they wanted us or not!" Ophelia yelled after the woman. She huffed and turned around with a frown.

The Avengers stared at Romeo and Ophelia. They're young, the same age as the Maximoff's. It can either be an advantage or a disadvantage. But their help is much needed, and so they let them join the team.

"Welcome to the Avengers" Clint smiled at them.

"I already hate it" Ophelia grumbled.
