"Alright kid," Tony says from the observation room with the rest of the team, "let's see what you got. Friday, start training exercise six."

A bunch of drones come out of a hatch on the wall and start to charge at me. Some circle around me, some begin to shoot.

I take out a synth and hook it onto one of the drones, pulling myself up quickly to get on top of it.

"Ight, you're gonna be my little buddy for a bit," I yank on my synth, making it turn as it continues to shoot, taking out the other drones.

Another drones shoots the one I'm on and I quickly jump to another.

"Bye little buddy," I take out my ring blade and throw it before jumping off and grabbing ahold of the railing just above the window.

The blade cuts through three of the drones and comes back to me.

"Way cooler than a big frisbee, Spangles," I say flipping off the rail and onto the ground before pulling out the other blade.

Another hatch opens up and one of Tony's suits comes out aiming it's blasters at me.

"Yay new little buddy," I throw both the blades in opposite directions, cutting down more drones as I run right for the iron suit. I slide under it and it's blast and get back up to my feet to catch my blades.

A blast from one of the drones hits my face and knocks my glasses off.

"Shit!" I squint against the light.

"Marley!" I hear dad call.

"I'm fine," I yank down my hood and mask and quickly jump onto the back of the iron suit, putting one of my blades over it's head.

I clamp the handle between my teeth and pull out both synths. I stab them into where the collarbone would be and use it to help me direct it.

That idea works up until the point where the suit starts spinning.

I keep ahold as I anchor my feet onto the shoulders and yank up, pulling the head off completely.

"V, mask!"

A white tendril reaches out and grabs the head of the suit bringing it back to me.

"Cover my six," I face the wall and V creates a shield around me that takes all the fire power.

I take my synth and jam it into the side of the mask, breaking the eye covering out.

"Hold em on my face for me," I put the covering up to my face and V helps to hold them in place. They don't do too much to block out the light, but it's better than nothing.

I turn back around and fight of the last of the drones.

Once they're all down I turn back to where the team and my dads watch.

"Way to go, Mars Bars," dad says, clapping with the others.

"Mars Bars?" Spangle looks at me with an amused grin.

"You don't get to call me that, Spangles," I put my weapons away.

"Why not?"

"Cuz I'm cooler than you," I open the door and walk into the room with them.

"That's it," Tony laughs, "I'm dubbing myself your honorary uncle."

"What about me," Sam asks, "can I call you Mars Bars?"

I think for a second, eyeing him a bit.

"Yeah you can call me Mars Bars."

"Ha!" He points to Spangles who rolls his eyes. I like his smile.

"You can however call me Mars," I look at Spangles. I gotta give him something.

"Marley," I turn to Bruce, "I think I can make a pair of environmentally aware contacts that you can use so you don't have to worry about the sunglasses all the time."

"Environmentally aware as in they'll change according to the light around me?" I pull out my phone, "I had the idea when Wade first made my suit but I just didn't have the stuff to do it."

I pull up all the formulas and plans up on my phone and show it to him.

"Wow," he looks at it closely, "this is some high level science, what college.did you go to?" He looks back up at me.

"I didn't even finish highschool," I chuckle but the team looks at me seriously.

"Why didn't you finish school?" Tony asks.

"The registration started and we booked it," I shrug, "couldn't very well enroll in school when you're not even supposed to be in the city. Dad tried his best to home school me, that was until I surpassed him in everything."

"Hey, I'll admit you did better than I ever did in school," dad laughs putting an arm around my shoulders, "but you don't have to announce it to everyone."

"Oh yes," I grin at him, "Yes I do."

"Here ya go, Mars," Wade hands me a new pair of sunglasses.

"Thanks," I take off the eye piece and put my glasses on.

"Sorry about the mask by the way," Tony says.

"It's cool, it ain't the first time it's happened," I shrug, "that's why I've got like nine more masks at home."

"Well if Bruce can make those contacts maybe you won't have to have a bunch of masks laying in wait," he grins.

A beep sounds off and I turn to Wade.

"We got a call," he says looking back at me, "some mutants tearing up downtown."

"Why are we getting called for that?"

"Cuz they tore up one of our regulars' place apart," he puts his work phone away.

"Shit," I murmur, "we gotta stop by the house so I can grab a mask."

I pop my hood up just as Tony's phone starts to ring.

"Yeahello," he says answering in, "on it."

"Fury?" Steve asks as Tony hangs up.

"Yep," he looks back to me and Wade, "looks like we're gonna be helping you out."

Wade and I share a look before I look back at my new team with a grin.

"Just try to keep up."

Wade and I run at the window dad already opened for us, Wade goes assassin's Creed style while I do a flip.

This otta be fun.
