Chapter 12

Athena was walking out of the school when Liz ran up to me. "Hey, Athena!" Liz said and Athena turned to look at her. "Hi," Athena said giving her a confused look. "I'm sure you heard, I am throwing a party at my house. I would love it if you could come," Liz said.

"Sure. When is it?" Athena asked.

"This Thursday at six," Liz said.

"Okay, I'll be there," Athena said and Liz walked away. Athena then started walking down the steps. She reached the sidewalk and started walking down it.

As she walked her attention was drawn to the alleyway. She could hear voices coming from the alleyway. She looked down the alleyway and saw a man standing by a white van talking to another man. She inches closer to the two men and she could finally hear the conversation. "What is this?" The man asked.

"It was crafted from an Ultron arm from the fight in Sokovia," the man said, Athena used her powers to grab a sample of the weapon. She backed out of the alleyway and placed the item into her bag. Athena walked out onto the sidewalk and walked towards the bus stop.

She stopped at the bus stop and as she did, a black SUV drove up to where Athena was standing. The window rolled down and she looked over. "Get in," the driver said and Athena raised her eyebrows. "Do I know you?" Athena asked.

"I'm Happy Hogan. I work for Tony Stark. He wants to talk to you," Happy said as he showed her his ID to confirm that he is a security guard that works for Tony Stark.

"Why does Tony want to talk to me? I have barely been here for a day," Athena stated.

"I don't know why he wants to talk to you. Probably something about the kid. I don't question his reasoning anymore," Happy said and Athena nodded. "Well, that's helpful," Athena stated as she got into the car.

Athena arrived at the new compound and the car stopped in front of the door. She got out of the car and walked into the building. As she did, she was greeted by Tony. "Hello, Agent Brown," Tony said.

"I've only been working this for a day, Stark. I have nothing more to tell you than what was in Peter's file," Athena said and Tony shook his head. "That's not what I wanted to talk to you about. I need you to keep Peter out of trouble," Tony said.

"Out of trouble?" Athena asked, a bit confused by this. "Yeah. Apparently, there's a guy in a vulture outfit flying around stealing things," Tony said and Athena gave him a confused look. "Did he say anything about the weapons?" Athena asked.

"No, but Parker will be here in a couple of minutes," Tony said.

"No, I have to go. Fury said I can't blow my cover," Athena said to him, slightly panicking. "That's not what he said to me, but I'll let you reveal your identity on your own. Just be quick about it. He's going to need your help," Stark said.

"Why can't you help him?" Athena asked.

"I don't have time. I told the kid to ignore it, but I just want to be sure he can handle it if he has to," Tony said and Athena nodded. "Okay, I'll tell Peter tomorrow. It might be helpful if you give him some hints about me. It'll be weird just walking up to him saying I know your spider man after meeting him today," Athena stated.

"Deal. One thing, Fury wants you to live here. It's closer than the other Shield base," Tony said and Athena nodded. "I'll have to get my stuff from the base," Athena said and Tony waved his hand. "I'll send someone to get it. Your room is the second on the right," Tony informed and Athena nodded.

Athena walked out of the room and went into the elevator. She pressed the button she was told was the living area and waited.

The elevator stopped and Athena walked out of the elevator and started down the hall and found her room. She entered the room and saw that it was a super nice room. There was a queen-sized bed in the middle of the room along with bookshelves lining the wall and a desk in the corner.

Athena closed the door behind her and set her backpack on her bed. "Holy shit," Athena said as she stared at the room in awe. She's never stayed in such a nice room before.

She decided to get her schoolwork done early in her new fancy room on her new fancy desk. To say she was excited would be an understatement.

Athena began to do her homework when she was interrupted by her phone ringing. She looked down and groaned as Fury's caller ID showed up. "Shit," Athena said and she answered the call. "I need your report," Fury said.

"Well, my cover is about to be blown by Stark and I now live in the Avengers compound," Athena stated.

"I know. What about Parker?" Fury asked.

"I've briefly talked to him today, but it'll take time for him to trust me. But now that time is cut in half if not more," Athena said.

"Alright. Make it go smoothly, Brown," Fury said.

"It would've gone better if you didn't let Stark throw a wrench in it," Athena said sarcastically.

"Watch it, Brown. You have a new mission. Help Stark deal with whatever new thing Parker is telling him about," Fury said.

"Copy that. Bye," Athena said as she hung up the phone. Athena went back to her homework and tried to get all done as quickly as possible.

It took Athena three hours to finish all of her homework assignments, which surprised Athena. Since she had so much extra time before she had to go to bed, she decided to go take a quick shower.
