MARCH 3RD, 2025 - 4:30 P.M.

Kaitlyn sat on the edge of the terrace, her body pressed against the railing and her feet dangling off the side. The light, cool breeze whipped the small blonde baby curls around her face as she watched the bustling city below her. This was quite possibly her favorite spot in the entire building, the terrace connected to the doors that lead to the heroes large hangout room and kitchen. She closed her eyes, and stretched out her feathery white wings, (keeping them so bundled up was so damn uncomfortable). It was moments like these, besides flying, that she felt truly at home. For her being out on the terrace was like taking a long contemplating shower

She whipped her head around as the door to the terrace slid open and Azari popped his head out from the door. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know you were out here". She hadn't really noticed how thick his Wakandan accent was, with just a hint of New Yorker. She offered the boy a small smile and beckoned him over with one of her wings, "It's alright, I can't really keep this spot a secret forever". Azari smiled shyly and walked over to the edge of the balcony with a rather cat-like grace and leaned up against the railing. "The view is great". This wasn't even just a simple form of small talk, he really meant it. The tiny cars and people moving around, shadowed by the tall sky scrapers was really a beautiful sight. "Aren't you afraid of... erhm falling?", He raised an eyebrow at her position dangerously close to the edge. Kaitlyn laughed quietly and wiggled her wings, "That's what these are for" She was pleased to see she had managed to crack a small smile out of the quiet prince with that comment.

The sliding door opened again, this time Walter peeking his head through. "Hate to interrupt feathers, but Ward and Coulson called us all for a meeting". Kaitlyn nodded and pushed herself up from her spot, folding her wings back into her body. "Thanks Walt", He gave a little soldier salute and slipped his way back out the door just as quickly as he had come. "Well it seems like our fearless leaders have called us".

The two met up with Walt in the hall and made their way to the meeting room or better yet the 'lecture hall'. After Phil Coulson retired from helping S.H.E.I.L.D. his daughter Jenna had taken his spot, and eventually became the leader for the Young Avengers. She almost acted as the team's mom, and managed them as such. Henry Ward, was Grant Ward's son, and just like his father a combat specialist. The two were the minds behind the team, assigning missions, and training. They were almost like a little family.

The three were the first to enter the meeting room, the others probably receiving a message for the meeting on their devices. Coulson and Ward sat at the head of the long table in the room, rather serious looks on their faces. "Angel, Panther, Virus. I hoped you have all had lovely afternoons" Coulson's voice was stern but there was a an underlying tone of compassion in her voice. "As lovely as it could get, I figured out the joys of hacking free Netflix" Walt grinned, and Ward let out a rather uncharacteristic snort. Coulson just rolled her eyes and gestured for the trio to sit, "We have a pretty pressing matter to discuss, so you all better get comfortable". Kaitlyn sat near Coulson, Walt near the far end of the table, and Ari near the middle. "Is this about Dr. Baxter? Have we found him?" Kait leaned over the table a hint of eagerness in her voice, the Boss had kidnapped the CEO of Baxter and they had been chasing false leads for a week. She knew she wasn't the only one in the group that was starting to feel a bit worried. Coulson's face fell a bit and she pinched the bridge of her nose. "Unfortunately, no. However, we do have a lead, so it's a start. We'll go over everything once the others get here". Kait led out a barely audible sigh and leaned back in her chair, her eyes moving to the door of the conference room. I hope they hurry.

maddison . kaplan
hex • #6a7582

"How you think you did on the test Mads?," one of Maddison's friends asked. He looked towards the girl, DJ, and smirked. "Way better than you, probably failed the written question....but I'm good in that class. Unlike someone.". The two laughed as they walked down the street to their homes. DJ lived next to the Kaplan-Altmans, and was one of the only ones outside of his family and the Y.A that knew of his powers. She didn't treat him like a freak for it though, she practically freaked out when she figured out his parents were Wiccan and Hulkling. So to say the least, the two were close. As they reached his home, he waved to the blonde and walked inside.

Right as he did, his phone beeped with a specified alert.

Ahhh, it was just like Jenna to call a meeting when Maddison got off of school. Well, to be fair, not everyone went to high-school. He was honoured to be on the team, in spite of being one the youngest. Shutting his phone off, the male would try to focus. Lately he had been trying to focus on using his powers without vocal command. But, like his previous attempts, this was a failure. He would sigh, he could basically just ride a bus down there....but what superhero took a bus? "LetmebeinthetowerLetmebeinthetowerLetmebeinthetower."

Reciting the line would make him appear in a swirl of cornflower blue energy in the room. Waving towards the others, he would take a seat next to Wally with a slight laugh. Immediately taking in the serious tone of the room, he would sit down and wait for the others, sending a wave towards Kaitlyn and Azari.

Tabitha Mackenzie

It was official 'The Mayor of Casterbridge' was kicking her ass, Tabby growled in frustation and threw the offending book at the wall smiling at the satisfying thunk it made. Who needed Thomas 'classic British Author' Hardy anyway? After a moments hesitation she sighed and picked up the book again. Apparantly she needed it, or at least she needed the practice, missing the entirety of High School had not done much for her admittedly limited reading skills. Or her Maths skills or any of the stuff they usually taught in High Schools. About the only thing she knew she was good at without needing to study was music and even that was more because of her abilities than anything else. She was determined not to be seen as stupid, hence the secret studying in her room whenever she got the chance. Coulson knew of her lack of education and Tabby guessed that meant Ward did too, but thankfully Coulson had agreed not to reveal her difficulties to the rest of the team.

She was just about to start again when she saw the flashing light on her phone and she grinned at what it meant. She hopped back of her bed and quickly left her room.
"Later Hardy." She called over her shoulder before shutting and locking the door firmly. She trusted the other guys on their team but that didn't mean she wanted them nosing about in her room.

She made her way quickly to the 'Lecture Hall' and saw that she wasn't the first to arrive. Besides Coulson and Ward there was Kaitlyn, Azari, Maddison and Walter. She popped a sloppy salute to both Coulson and Ward before she plopped herself down in on the other side of Walt.
"Hey Peeps what have we been up to? Charming, find any sleeping Princesses to wake today?" She grinned at Azari before nudging Walt with her shoulder.
"Hack anything cool?"

Addie hadn't been doing much with her day besides training. Attempting to make her offensive as good as her mother's once was, she had been spending extra time in the towers gym, even having gone to the trouble of hiring a martial arts trainer - or rather, nagging Ward until he caved and agreed to get someone so long as she just left him alone. Addie always knew how to get what she wanted.

However, when Addie received an alert from the team, informing her that she had to come to a meeting, she had just stepped out of the shower, having finished her training for the day. Sighing, Addie looks at herself in the mirror and pouts before sending her reflection a wink and heading out into her bedroom. Luckily, Addie always had her outfits planned out. In fact, she had several outfits planned, in case of an emergency. Slipping on one of these outfits, Addie runs a comb through her hair before quickly drying it with a hair dryer. Throwing on her signature red lip, she brushes down her skirt before pulling on a pair of black boots. Heeled, of course.

Deciding that she was finally presentable, Addie makes her way out of her room and to where they were set to meet - fashionably late, as always. "Bonjour mes chéris." Slipping into her native tongue as she enters and announces her arrival to the room.

Spotting Tabitha in the room, a smile spreads itself on her face as Addie waltzes up to her, her heels clicking as she goes. "Heya Tabby cat." She greets, seating herself next to the girl. "Walt, you're looking good." Addie then continues on to say, making eye contact with the guy and hoping that she's able to solicit a blush or something of the sort from him. Addie was pretty good at that. Throwing Ari a wink as his personal greeting. Laughing softly as Tabitha teases him, continuing on, "I'll be your damsel in distress any day."

Finally looking to Coulson and Ward, Addie raises an eyebrow before saying, "What's so important that you felt the need to interrupt my pamper time?" Addie had a pretty extensive regime she liked to follow after a shower, but that had been cut short by their summons. Everyone who lived within the same four walls as Addie knew this, so she had no doubt that it had to be rather crucial, or they should have waited until she was completely ready. This was just rude.

"Mystère," Ward greets, steely eyed as he returned her gaze, "I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the others get here before we continue." Rolling her eyes, Addie leans back in her chair, annoyed. She'd thought that she was going to be the last one here (which she liked, Addie loved a grand entrance) but it seemed that half of them hadn't arrived yet. Leaning over the table to where Kaitlyn sat, Addie's smile turned wicked as she spoke to the woman. "Ms. Goody two shoes," Addie fiddles with a strand of her hair nonchalantly, "No surprise you're here bright and early." The pair had always had a rivalry, their personalities conflicted so much that it was impossible for the two to have ever gotten along and Addie remembers disliking Kaitlyn and her uppity attitude from the day they met. Addie had found a surprising number of people whom she loved since joining the team, but Kaitlyn was certainly not one of them.

Blue had locked himself in his room all day, reading. Content with the silence that this brought, his curtains had stayed drawn, leaving him in darkness with only a lamp to read by. Blue preferred it this way, sometimes sunlight could be too much for him, almost blinding in it's radiance. Nighttime and rainy, dull days had been Blue's favourite ever since the accident. He didn't need to get out of the tower, nor did he want constant companionship like some of the others he shared this home with.

Happy to have managed to get himself a day off, they were so often working together or training together that Blue would be trained by the time it was over and fall fast asleep as soon as he got back to his room, so today was his allocated reading day where he curled up on the little chair next to his bookcase and just let himself be transported elsewhere. It was the perfect way for Blue to get away from being himself, even if just for a few hours, and he had really needed it.

Of course, this contentment was short lived as Blue's mandatory phone buzzed with a notification - he had to be in the meeting room now. Rubbing at his eyes, Blue wishes he could ignore the message and stay here, but he knew that would result in either Coulson or Ward coming down and if there was one thing that Blue could not handle, it was conflict. Ironic really, considering he was on a superhero task force that dealt with just that. Blue so often felt out of place for this, as well as a multitude of other reasons. Even amongst a group of 'freaks' he was still somehow the strangest.

Folding over the corner of the page he was reading, Blue stands, placing it back on his bookshelf. Reluctantly, he walks to his wardrobe, exchanging the sweatpants he had been wearing for black jeans, but leaving his plain black t-shirt.

Once ready Blue finds his way to the meeting place, slowly pushing open the door as he is greeted by the faces of his teammates, all chatting amongst themselves. Chewing on his bottom lip nervously, despite being on this team since the beginning, Blue was still nervous around such a large group of people; and there were only more to come.

He finds himself a seat next to Maddison, offering the boy a weak smile and a soft "Hello." Keeping his eyes trained on the table in front of him as he does so, hoping everyone else would just ignore him and continue on with their chatting.

"Evening, Ghost." Coulson greets, her tone a lot gentler than when she spoke to the others. She had been one of the first people Blue met when transported to the facility he was kept in for years, as well as her father. Having only been shadowing the elder man at that time, Blue had watched as Coulson progressed up the ranks until she came to where she is now. In fact, Coulson was probably the only reason Blue had been invited to join the team, having always had a soft spot for the sweet, shy boy.

Moving his eyes off the table for a brief moment to meet hers, Blue nods his head before replying, "Good evening." It was rare to get much more than a sentence out of Blue, but today he felt extra nervous, as though some kind of danger was looming. Perhaps it was because he didn't know what was going on, nor why they were all summoned here.

Cold. It was cold. Milo shivered as he walked around, mist swirling around his feet has his blue/green eyes scanned the empty town. He shoved his hands in his pockets sulking not sure what was leading him here, but he followed some path he could not see, but his feet knew the way. Where am I? He asked himself, then with realization, "Where are the people?" He uttered the thought aloud. His body now tensed, he prepared himself for an ambush, a trap, something. He tenitively reached for his power, ready to use it if he really needed to, but he couldn't find it. Was the virus from his system gone? Milo stopped walking his eyes widened If I don't have my powers… what use am I to the Avengers? They'll throw me out for sure. He tried reaching for it again, still there was an empty void where his power would have been.

Furiously he kicked at the ground and pressed on cursing silently. The mist swirling around him undisturbed by Milo. After moments of walking he stumbled upon a large ebony polished building. It was polished smooth, easily reflecting the dim lighting, giving the building a somewhat eerie glow. Milo shivered again, he searched for a door to see if he could get inside. Upon finding one on the opposite side he frowned in dissapointment. It was locked, and heavily locked at that. Whatever is inside they dont want anyone to get.

Milo peered at the locks intrigued by their design. He could pick them, they were all classic cast iron locks.

" I wouldn't do that if I were you." A cool voice would say behind him. Milo jumped and turned around stunned there was another person here. The voice matched who he thought it was. "Denise" He hissed his eyes narrowing. The woman smiled and shifted her form and the voice was that of his mothers. "Come now Miles… you must be smarter than that." She stepped closer to him the figure changing once more into himself, the voice to match. "I am you. The part you don't see. " Milo stared in horror, what madness was this? The Milo Clone rolled his eyes and pointed to the alluring building that Milo had been staring at moments ago, "Don't go in there… and don't let IT out." The Clone warned before fading away. Confused, Milo protested the Clones departure, but it never came back. He let out a frustrated growl, and stared back at the building. Let what out? He thought to himself upset that he didn't even realize that the locks were to keep a creature away from the outside.

He placed his hand on the wall of the building it was cool to the touch, and felt as smooth as it looked. He heard a ghostly laugh and all was black.

Milo jumped and gasped waking up in a pool of sweat, it dripping down his forehead and back. He groaned, sitting up running his fingers through his thick dark hair. His eyes scanned his room for the phone blowing up. Rubbing sleep from his eyes he read the message and sighed, of course he wouldn't get a good night's sleep before a meeting. Of course he couldn't shower before leaving.

He got out of bed, and threw on a beanie to cover most of the sweat drenched hair, a black, tight V-neck shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans. He pondered on his dream all while getting ready, wondering about the black building that was locked up. What was his subconscious trying to warn him about. He had, had this dream many times before. This time he actually got to touch the building. Usually he woke before he touched it. It was an unhealthy obsession to think about just one recurring dream. Milo couldn't help it. He had always lost his power in the dream. Always felt helpless and useless. He hated it. Shoving his feet in a pair of tan boots he walked out of his room shoving the dream to the back of his mind.

Shutting his door he made his way down the hall catching his reflection in a decorative mirror. He looked rugged, his eyes red and glossy from the lack of sleep, and just waking up. His skin shone with a tint of sweat, and there were bags under his eyes. Maybe he could pull off the 'busy working out' look for the meeting then go back and take a shower, and meditate or actually go work out. Entering the room his eyes scanned over everyone present and gave an awkward smile, not saying anything to anyone. What was there to say? "What a day to fight crime because we're super special people?" Psh no he had no words, but dipped his head in greeting to everyone.

He was a man of few words, and he took a seat calmly placing his hands in his lap, leaning back staring at Coulson and waited for the briefing wondering what was so important.

"Honey, is that really necessary?" Her mother asked the young girl through the headset in her suit. Before she could reply, her father interjected. "No, it isn't. Marisol Jamila, stop. Not another step. You've worn this suit once before. Once." Marisol groaned, rolling her eyes before focus back towards the ground below, focusing on the cement. "You said I have to learn how to control this suit. To learn how to use it without your or anyone else's help. Did you not?" Miles Morales groaned. "If she dies, do I get the suit?" Her younger brother, Miguel. Mari smacked her lips. "Manny, shut up. It's not that big of a deal and it's not even that close to the ground. I just need to make sure that I can react fast enough in a time of crisis." Miguel chuckled. "No offense, Mari but that sounds like a really fucking stupid idea." Miguel said in a deadpan tone before her parents agreed with their youngest. She walked around the edge of the tall skyscraper just listening to her parents bicker with her in Spanish only for her not to reply as they continued to talk. "Mija, listen. You're good, you are but what if you don't catch yourself fast enough, hm? Then what?" The young New Yorker sighed looking up at the blue sky. "Then I guess I'm out of commission for awhile."

"That's not funny." Her mother replied. "Well, it's the truth. Now I gotta go, bye." She cut off the transmission and muted her headpiece just so she wouldn't hear if they called again. She knew her parents hated being out of the city for so because it made her do things like what she was about to do; jump off a building just to see how close to the ground she can get before using swinging away. Was to help her reaction time? Yes, to an extent but she also wanted to feel that rush her father would talk about when he did it. Something he did at seventeen, four years younger than how old Mari was. She could do this. She took a deep breath before letting herself fall back off the 50 stories tall building. She didn't hear anything other than the wind rushing past her as she continued to fall. She would have let herself for more than 6 (with her record being about 4.5) if it was just the beeping in her ear from the one group of people she heard alerts from not matter what she muted in her suit. "Damn it." She reached her hand in front of her body to shoot a strand of webbing to catch her from falling anymore, swing her closer in the direction of the tower. Within minutes she found herself landing on the terrace balcony and making her way towards the conference room but, not before pressing the emblem on the chest of her suit allowing it to expand and let her remove it with ease. Revealing a pair of leggings, a tank top, and a pair of Adidas running shoes. She tossed it over her shoulder stopping in her room within the building to grab a bag to keep her suit in. She wanted to keep it on her at all times but didn't want it just out in full view of everyone especially when she had completely 'mastered' the new suit just yet. She pleaded that she wasn't the last to make it to the room. The last thing she needed today after a tongue lashing from her parents was one from her superiors.

Opening the doors she realized she wasn't the last member to make but, she definitely wasn't the first. However, instead of acting embarrassed about not being the first like she wanted to. She looked towards Addie, hearing last of her comment towards Kait. "Addie, didn't we work on your people skills last week? Be nice." She lightly hit the back of Walt and Kait's heads with a smirk before sitting next to Kait. She looked towards Ari, offering him a smile before turning her attention to the group as a whole. "Sorry I'm late, had to take the family suit out for a test drive." She explained, putting her bag on the back of her chair. She looked towards the young group with a small smirk. "I miss anything important?" Her heavy Puerto Rican accent becoming more apparent with every time she spoke.

"Mr. Stark? I have Mrs. Amberlynn on the phone. She's wanting to know if you'll be donating to the CASA again this year." Theo's secretary sudden presence interrupted his ball tossing and his thoughts as he imagined a new upgrade to add to his supersuit. The thing has been a bit jerky on his bad leg so he needed to add some kind of heating compress. Maybe Walt could help him out later. He'd been a great help with updating the wifi signal in the suit. Aparently, cell phone providers won't provide a connection at over 10,000 feet. Potential new venture.

"Elle, remind me to make my own phone provider- wait, my own phone too. Have the team run numbers if people would like a Stark phone." Elle Santos, or Eleanor as she prefers to be called during work hours, was one of the best in the business. The two attended college together and she befriend him since he was the youngest at MIT. Normally, Theo would've figured she wanted something, but she saved him from some frat boys when he was running his mouth, drunk trash talking. Her eye for business made her Theo's number one choice to co-run the company someday. His father liked to joke that Elle was his Pepper Potts, but unlike his father, Theo didn't mess around with his coworkers.

"I'll have our marketing team look into it. And sir, it's Ms. Santos or Eleanor during business hours. Also, are you planning to donate to CASA this year? NCMEC is reaching out too."
"How much are all of them hoping to raise this year?"
"Two million, sir."
"Give them each that and add half of what their asking."

People liked to think he was trying to copy his father when it came to philanthrophy, but each of these programs holds a special place in his heart. CASA helps children from abusive and neglectful families by providing them a quality lawyer who'll fight for them. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) works to help and find missing and abused children. Along with the Stark families multiple grants for schooling and underpriveledged kids, Theo works with a variety of charities. Some kids don't have superhero fathers with government connections to find them if they go missing. One of Theo's little ways of giving back.

Elle began to go over his schedule for the rest of the day when a small beeping goes off in Theo's office. A voice, resembling an Irish accent, spoke from the ceiling. "Stark, your prescence is needed at Avengers Base." Jac was the first A.I. computer Theo ever made. The computer program was often like having a third parent around, Tony and Jarvis being the firsts. With a huge smirk to Elle and flutter of his eyes, she let out a sigh. "I'll handle everything." "That's why you're the best."

Thankfully, Theo's office wasn't too far away from the Young Avengers Base. The building housing the heroes is called Stark Industries, but it isn't an actual place of Stark business. It was more of a cover to hide everyone in plain sight. No one would think a group of superheroes would live in the most noticeable building in the center of town. It would be too obvious yet completely genius. Theo took off his blazer throwing it over his shoulder. He would've changed into something more comfortable, but work required his professional appearance.

The ride up the elevator was quick. Theo, along with father and SHIELD, designed the building to be a well oiled machine. Heroes shouldn't waste time in slow elevators. Not that Theo considered himself one, he was just a guy with a lot of money and a supersuit. A fraud as one reported loved to point out. Most of the media adored the youngest Stark. Affeciontaely nicknamed Iron Kid, a name that stuck, Theo was America's Dreamboat. They loved him, or the person he claimed to be. Those thoughts left his mind when the elevator opened.

Most of the team gathered in the conference room, a few people were missing though. "No snacks while we wait?" Theo joked while taking a seat next to his princely, best friend. "Stark this isn't a babysitting service." muttered Coulson. She'd never admit it, but Jenna liked the youngest Stark. He's a good addition to the team when he's focused. "I'll make sure to upgrade to the deluxe package next time." At the word 'updgrade,' Theo flashed a smile to Walt and Ari. Time to get the Nerd Herd together.

xxxSpirit | Force-Field Generation | #07b2a5

A hand rested on her hip and she shifted her weight from foot to foot. Sage closed her eyes and breathed out steadily. Be patient. Be patient. Two people in front of her was a lady at the counter inquiring about all the different juice blends they offered even though it was on the board for her viewing. Then she decided to move on and inquire about the different coffees they made, then discuss out loud how it might be a bad idea because it apparently lasted several hours in her system and how her husband may not approve and, "besides, it's already quite a warm day, isn't it?"

Sage pinched the bridge of her nose. Composure usually wasn't a stress or effort to her but today it's like Sage had to summon a greater will-power. All she was craving was a sweet berry-blend of juice and she was so excited at the idea. Initially. And those feelings had long since faded. Thankfully a buzz emerged from her pocket for a distraction and Sage hastily tore her device out from it to read the message. Sage might have roamed now and then but never far from the faculty in case of such circumstances and requirements.
Sage left the cue abruptly, offering a stiff smile to the person behind her in line.
"...so a small is just that size?" She heard the same woman question.

Sage lunged into the meeting room, her mini handbag swinging wildly until she caught it as well as attempt to catch her breath. She wasn't quite last miraculously but she figured she took long enough.“Sorry,” she mumbled. Sage straightened, blew out her lips and regained composure wandering idly to a seat.

She knew they wouldn't start until all were present so she didn't bother with the questioning though she was itching to know what the meeting was called for. Aside from updates or a new mission - that was given. Once truly settled, Sage eyed who was already present. Milo was sitting alone, but he looked...worn in some way or the other so she figured he probably preferred his space. Kait, Walt, Stark...the list went on. Basically most of her peers that should beat her to the room. Except maybe Theo.

Sage started a subtle little tap on the table since her patience had already been tested for the day.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

There were very few times when the entire Rand family found themselves together unless it was for a funeral or a holiday especially with all of them being involved in different parts of the family business. His brother, Wendell being groomed to be the one to become CEO of Rand Enterprises once their father decided to retire; his sister, Summer being one who since having a family moved to the suburbs while being on the Board of Directors just to be apart of the business; and Danny, well, Danny's being Danny. And with being Danny, he doesn't have much interest in going into the family business, never has. That disinterest has only grown once gaining his powers and even more so when he joined the team at his parents' demand. So, as his family talked about how everything in their boring, kid-filled lives were going outside of work, Danny ordered another Samuel Adam. He winked and thanked the waitress before pouring the beer into his glass as he looked at his watch. "Uh-oh, Danny's bored." His sister joked as she smirked at the youngest child. "No, really I'm just taking everything in. Thomas is playing piano, Bella has an I.Q of a prodigy, Wen's kids are starting kindergarten at Kingston Prep. It's all exhilarating, really, very thrilling." The young man had his 'signature' smirk as he set his glass down. "Alright, let's change the subject," Colleen stated, turning her attention to her youngest with a smile. Danny raising one of his eyebrows. "How's the team, how's this city--..?"

Daniel Sr. interrupting with his own 'serious' question and a smile."Are you making friends?" His son looked towards his dad before chuckling. He tilted his head a bit prior to answering his parents' questions. Danny being apart of a team was known to the immediate members of the family. Even if it shouldn't have been but, Daniel Sr. had a big mouth and they didn't have secrets in their family apparently. But, none of them knew more than that, that Danny was a part of a team made up of superpowered young adults. "You could say that and the city's fine. Mari's on the team," Daniel Sr. nodded before his son continued. "Stark's son is on the team too." His father chortled. Not many knew the real relationship between Theo and Danny but, their fathers' sure did. Daniel always tried to tell Danny to give the guy a break, he's been through a lot or if he gave him chance he'd really like that brainiac but, the twenty-two years old couldn't, neither of them could. "Wow, Miles Morales' daughter and Tony Starks' son. It must feel pretty nerve wrecking being a part of a team with so many powerful and brilliant people." Wendell interjected. "Wendell." Colleen replied which was immediately met with Danny throwing his older brother a side-eye glare, losing his smile as he turned his body towards the eldest. "What the hell is that suppose to mean?"

"Nothing. It doesn't mean anything." Summer explained. "Summer's right, it doesn't mean anything. I'm just saying that you have geniuses, aliens, superpowered humans who can climb up walls like its nothing, and then you. A guy who can... punch really hard." Danny chuckled. "More than what you can do, which is what? Right, being dad's little bitch until he decides he'll give you the company on a silver platter?" Danny ignored his dad's objections as he continued. "I'm sorry that some of us actually got dad's powers while others are forced to sit in a corner office all day watching their little bro save the day." Wendell scoffed as he tried to cover his laugh. The eldest sibling continued to scoff before moving his hand from mouth to show a huge smile. "You? Save the day? Danny Boy, you can barely open a door for someone without asking what's in it for yourself. You are the most selfish, immature," Summer took a deep sigh, rolling her eyes at the whole 'contest' going on between her two brothers as they wanted for their parents to join them. "Keep it goin', you're on a role." Wendell groaned. "And infuriating motherfucker I have ever met and the fact that you thinking you're saving people is laughable. The day you grow up, maybe just, maybe you'll 'save the day' but until then you're just the muscle to a group of real heroes." Before Danny could say anything else as he locked eyes with his brother, an alert from his watch went off. "Saved by the bell." Summer sighed, trying to relieve some of the tension set between the table set aside from the rest of the restaurant that lied right in the middle of Cross City. "What's that, sweetie?"

"Duty calls. The real heroes need their muscle." Danny explained as he got up from the table, grabbing his suit jacket from behind him, and making his way to his sister and mother to kiss their cheeks and his father to get a hug. "Bye, son. Next time, we'll get some father-son time." Danny pulled away. "Yea, sounds good, dad." The superpowered young man slid the jacket on before smiling towards the table, mostly towards his sister and mother before making his way out of the restaurant and towards the way of the base which, thankfully wasn't too far especially with his speed. He was there within five, ten minutes tops. Making his way through the building, he fixed himself up. Making his appearance not so formal as he rolled up his sleeves to expose the tattoos on his arms. He took off his glasses putting them in his pocket, and of course, ruffling his hair to let it look more natural than it did when he had it all slicked back out of his face. He opened the doors to the conference room with a smile as he looked around. He wasn't the last (like usual), so it was an improvement on his part. He smiled towards Marisol who just rolled her big, brown eyes towards him and nodded towards Walt with a smirk before he made his way to a chair next to his favorite little redhead, Addie. He made his excuse towards Ward and Coulson with his smile on. "Sorry, I'm late. Early family dinner." Ward only chuckled softly without answering before Danny turned his attention to Kait with a wink and then to Addie with a charming little smile. He knew the two girls didn't like each other, hell, a blind person could see that they didn't like each other. But, that didn't mean Danny Boy could like them both, right?"

Coulson checked her watch and the door several times, she wasn't surprised that some of the heroes were late. They could definitely save the day, but show up on time? Unheard of. After waiting a couple more minutes for Luiza and Freya, she let out a quiet sigh taking her eyes from the time to the mingling heroes. She cleared her throat quite loudly, it was the most she could do to catch their attention. "It seems a few are late, but we don't have any more time to spare. I'm sure you are all aware of the kidnapping of Edward Baxter, the CEO of Baxter Labs, went missing this last week". She adjusted the sleeve of her blazer before continuing. "Dr. Baxter was working on some interesting and particularly dangerous bioengineering, which leads us to believe the Boss has something to do with his disappearance. We're not exactly sure, what Baxter created, but if anything right now we need some sort of leverage. Tonight the Mayor is hosting a Charity event for cancer research at Eco and we are expecting the Boss' men to show up." She turned to her right and nodded to Ward who nodded. "Jeanna Hopkins, Baxter's leading lady, and quite possibly his partner in the research will be there... despite the recent kidnapping of her colleague. You all know how rich people are. We have reason to believe that the next target is Dr. Hopkins herself". He opened a manilla folder and slid a picture of Dr. Hopkins out towards the heroes. "Your job is to keep her safe at all costs. If we save her, hopefully she'll return the favor by telling us what they were up to at Baxter Labs" Coulson nodded along with him and added on herself, "There's no telling who the Boss has sent to carry out his dirty work, but you all need to be on your utmost guard. We have no idea what they are planning to do tonight. You all should find a few wardrobe selections for the occasion in your rooms, and Ward has arranged for a limo to take you there" She emphasized 'Ward' by rolling her eyes in his direction. He grinned in return. Coulson leaned back in her chair looking at the other heroes, "Any questions?"

Kaitlyn watched as Maddison, Tabitha, and the others made there way into the meeting room, offering small smiles and waves their way. Unfortunately, her least favorite person walked through the door next. Addison. Kaitlyn and Addison naturally just didn't work well together, personality wise. They were polar opposites in nearly everything they did (or so they thought) and the two never spent the time to try and make anything work. Seeing as how detesting each other was much easier. Kait narrowed her eyes as Addie leaned across the table, "Ms. Goody two shoes, no surprise you're here bright and early." Kaitlyn rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to quip back but stopped as Marisol (who she hadn't even realized had entered the room) spoke for her. "Addie, didn't we work on your people skills last week? Be nice." Kait smiled looking up at Mari, the girl had tried countless times to get Kait and Addie to be friends. No success yet, but she still persisted. "Sorry I'm late, had to take the family suit out for a test drive. I miss anything important?" Kait let out a small giggle, "Not much, just waiting for everyone to get here. How did the test drive go? Miguel give you shit again?" Kait had heard the countless stories of Marisol's family and her various heroic adventures. She was a little envious of how involved Marisol's family was in her life, of course her own father supported her but he got so caught up in his business that he'd forget about her. It was something she didn't discuss with most.

"Sorry, I'm late. Early family dinner." Kait's eyes flicked to Danny as he strolled in, grandeur, as usual. Danny met her eyes with a wink, and she couldn't help the rosy blush that creeped on her cheeks. The girl had it bad, and she hated admitting it. She definitely wasn't his type, and he definitely wasn't hers. There was just something about him that she was magnetized too, like most. She just had to remind herself that it was just a silly fantasy of hers, and it was never going to happen. Besides he was to focused on the particular red head that promptly hated her guts. Not to mention she wasn't to keen on 'sharing'.

"It seems a few are late, but we don't have any more time to spare. I'm sure you are all aware of the kidnapping of Edward Baxter, the CEO of Baxter Labs, went missing this last week". Coulson interrupted the majority of their conversations and Kaitlyn quieted down turning her attention to the woman. This situation was just getting more and more interesting, and particularly dangerous. They had been chasing the Boss for the longest time and they had never even gotten close, the thought of him getting hands on something dangerous frightened her. "There's no telling who the Boss has sent to carry out his dirty work, but you all need to be on your utmost guard. We have no idea what they are planning to do tonight. You all should find a few wardrobe selections for the occasion in your rooms, and Ward has arranged for a limo to take you there. Any questions?"

Kait was the first to speak up, "So we just have to keep her safe?" Coulson nodded, "Yes, and maybe if some of you want to divide yourself I'm sure you can look for other things as well. Again, we have no idea what he is planning for tonight"

"Addie, didn't we work on your people skills last week? Be nice." Marisol comments as she enters the room, prompting a mischievous grin from Adelaide as she stuck her tongue between her teeth, "Sorry I'm late, had to take the family suit out for a test drive." Watching as she took a seat next to Kaitlyn, Adelaide had to try her hardest not to roll her eyes. Why Marisol associated with the likes of Kaitlyn Worthington she would never understand, but to each their own.

Leaning back in her chair, Adelaide checks out her bright red nails for any chipping, until Theo walks in prompting Adelaide to swiftly turn her attention toward the young Stark. Biting down on her lip as he takes a seat by Ari, Adelaide sends him a little wink by way of greeting when their eyes meet.

Finally, Danny is the last to grace the group with his presence, the other two girls seemingly not about to show up. When he takes a next to Adelaide, she makes sure that Kaitlyn is looking when she gives his arm a squeeze, breathing out a soft, "Hey Danny boy." Her lips curling back up into a smile as she rests her arm against his on the table, that same smile still plastered on her face as she turns back in Kaitlyn's direction.

Before long Adelaide can tell Coulson is getting impatient, she had that look on her face that Adelaide was all too familiar with thanks to her mischievous ways. Her and Tabitha did love causing a little mayhem. It's not long until Coulson seemingly comes to a decision on what she is going to do and begins her speech about their assignment for tonight.

While she only half-listened to the whole thing, Adelaide's face lights up at the sound of a gala. Already planning her outfit in her head, she spares another glance at Theo, resting her chin in her hand until Coulson is finished. Baxter labs. The Boss. Jenna something or the other. Adelaide didn't care to listen believing full well that she could do the whole mission herself without the entire 'Young Avengers' group. One thought that did cross her mind, however, was the fact that her face had become pretty well known throughout all authoritative groups, and the chances of them letting her into such a swanky event without some kind of clearance was unlikely.

"Am I going to have to play dress up for this one?" She questions Coulson and Ward, honestly excited at the prospect of trying on a new face for a while. There was something about the anonymity of being unrecognisable that Adelaide deeply enjoyed. She then curls a strand of fiery red hair around her finger, "Oh, and dates have to be crucial," She says pointedly to Coulson and Ward before glancing from Theo to Danny, her eyebrow raised, "So who wants to be mine?" Adelaide giggles, curious as to who might feel able to step up to the plate. Not many people could handle the wild Adelaide Darkhölme.

Upon Adelaide's comment, Maddison's face scrunched up in irritation. Dates were a nice addition, splitting the team into pairs, but Maddison would probably will himself into non-existence if he by chance was left with the red-headed woman. Mads didn't hate the shape-shifter, she was just not really on his parental status. She was more like the rebellious teenager, and Maddison the overbearing mother. So naturally, they'd be complacent with most action, but when paired they wouldn't be extremely functional. Noticing how she looked in Theo's direction for a short bit, flared a bit of emotion within him. "I think dates are a good thing as well, people who have a balance and can easily cover other's weak points. I think we can be capable of choosing our partners." the male spoke, with a calm demeanor. His eyes strayed over to Theo, but he knew the Stark might choose one of the "nerd herd".

A quick look went to Blue and Kaitlyn, either or would do for him as well.

Deep down, however, he wanted to share that moment with Theo. Shrugging he'd begin fiddling with a small ball he'd conjure, something that he did often. Moving the ball around his hands, he would hum a small tune before waiting for Coulson or Ward's responses to his statement. An eye, however, lingered over Adelaide keeping a watch on her for a bit.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Marisol tilted her head towards Kait with a smirk. "Of course, but I ain't worried 'bout that pendejo. It's always somethin' with him. She chuckled before hearing Walt and turning her attention to him for the time being. She sighed and lightly smiled. "You kidding? I've waited for this suit since I was fourteen, it was amazing." Was she geeking out over a piece of fabric? Yes but, it was her piece of fabric. A suit in their family since her dad was her age. Made especially by Tony Stark for her dad, and now for her. So, you could guess it meant a lot to her. The doors opened only for her to see the one, the only Danny Rand walking in. All calm and collective, as always as if he wasn't one of the last members to walk into the room. She expected nothing less for her, shockingly, close friend. She watched him take a seat next to Addie while winking towards Kait. Her eyes inadvertently rolled once more as they did when he offered her his charming little smile. One that apparently worked on any living, heterosexual woman with a pulse as she observed how both Addie and Kait reacted to his advances with her blondie getting red and her favorite redhead resting on him when he sat down next to her. Unbelievable. Not at the billionaire's son being a massive flirt but at the fact that both of her girlfriends shared yet another thing in common but, still 'hated' each other. No matter how many times she tried to make them play nice, it ended badly. But, just because they weren't friends didn't mean she couldn't be. She was grown and she had other things to worry about her friends' dumb, petty girl drama. As long as they didn't physically hurt each other and drag her into it, Mari didn't see a reason to get involved.

After a bit and seeing two members have yet to join the rest of them, Marisol turned her attention to the leaders as she leaned back in her chair. Listening to every word, she just took everything in and nodded. But, the second she heard of 'wardrobe selections' she realized that meant they would be attending, not just staking out, and keeping their target safe. That made her clear her throat softly in anxiety (not that it showed). Unlike most of the others in the group, she wasn't apart of that world, filled with fancy gowns, millionaires, and thousands of dollars of champagne going down the drain, or whatever. That wasn't her. She was a young girl from the streets of New York, she didn't know a damn thing about what to wear, act, or say around those people. One word out of her mouth and they'd know she didn't belong. Meaning that while wearing a dress and heels all night, smiling like an idiot, she would also have to use her 'rich, white girl voice' for hours on end. Great. When Coulson asked if there were any questions. Mari parted her full lips, but waited a moment as Kait inquired, "So we just have to keep her safe?"

"Yes, and maybe if some of you want to divide yourself I'm sure you can look for other things as well. Again, we have no idea what he is planning for tonight." Marisol nodded as she turned with a smile as Addie asked a question, well several questions. First one, she was reading her mind but, dates? No. No, no, no. She'd wear a dress, talk all fancy, but a date was out of the question. Marisol was confident in most aspects of life other than two; her natural appearance and dates especially if she were to go with the one guy she was thinking about, but she couldn't bring herself to look at. She could go with Danny, (who she guess would go with either Kait or Addie), or any of the others even though they seemed to make their choice clear, but, Ari was not happening. Not unless he asked her. She was not going to make her attraction known until she knew for sure how the Prince felt for her. She locked eyes with Danny for a second who turned away from Addie only for him to dart his eyes towards Ari's direction with his eyebrows raised as if, daring her to say something even though the pair knew that wasn't going to happen and Ari probably wouldn't say anything to her because as Danny put it; 'out of the suits, the two were both massive little bitches'. She ain't a little bitch but, she wasn't going to embarrass herself. She messed with her braids for a moment, still feeling Danny smirk on her. In order to remove Danny attention off of her, she sighed and turned back to Ward and Coulson. "It sounds easy enough, but Addie brings a good point. What about those of us who are known to the public? I mean, Theo, Addie, Danny are very well known to the public and government officials not to mention Rand and Stark are petty famous last names." She didn't like poking holes into plans and she knew they probably thought of that already but, Addie made sense. It'd be risky, not to mention stupid for them to just pray they wouldn't be spotted. No matter how good at sneaking around they were.

The wink sent by Theo's way by the lovely Adelaide didn't escape his attention. The red head, other than Tabitha, was the biggest flirt of the whole group. Theo wasn't one to take offense to her flirting with him and then moving on to Ari or Walt because that was just her. Some people do like to flirt and Theo knew the game. Despite not being the playboy his father was, Theo does have the Stark men charm. It's been known to win him dates, but maybe the money and fame helped a bit. Theo returned her wink with a toothy smile, and a slight chuckle. She certainly was an enigma.

The light atmosphere in the room deadened when Rand walked in. "Sorry, I'm late. Early family dinner." Theo couldn't help the roll of his eyes or the sneer on his face. He didn't doubt Rand's honesty, but it was weird to Theo how different yet similar they were. Of course he would be at a family dinner, the boy had everything he could ever want and still took it for gradient. Sometimes, Theo wondered if maybe he could've ended up like him. The spoiled, pompous son of a billionaire (though Stark was richer). Maybe, he would have if he had a different mother or wasn't sold like some kind of cattle. The disdain between the two of them wasn't expected by their fathers, but it couldn't be helped. They were different people with different ideals. "Say 'Hi' to your Dad for me. We missed you both at the charity auction last month." The Stark men had invited the Rand family to donate and attend a charity auction supporting a local orphanage, hoping to raise money for toys and supplies. The rest of his family was there, but both Danny Rands were noticeably absent. Theo didn't get specfics on why they weren't there, but he had an inkling that it was the younger one's doing.

When Coulson and Ward began to speak, Theo gave them most of his attention. The illusive Boss was growing to be a problem in Cross City. Theo had kept Jac scanning the local airwaves and police scanners for any information on this rising enemy. It may be slightly illegal, but it was needed. Sadly, results have been next to nothing. The sound of a gala sparked his interest. Elle had mentioned an event he was invited to about cancer research, but the Stark phone had been buzzing in his head so he wasn't listening, like usual. Pulling out his phone to check his planner, Theo didn't miss the glare Coulson sent his way. He gave her most dazzling grin before pocketing his phone. Turns out, Theo had been right. Although, they wanted his father to make an appearance, but he was dealing with making Stark Industries more eco friendly. The younger Stark would be a good proxy in his place though.

Theo got the gist despite only half listening. Keep an eye on Dr. Hopkins and don't let her get kidnapped. He could manage that. The idea of 'dates' was brought up by Adelaide, naturally. Theo was going to this event anyway, but stag was what he was planning. He could've brought someone on his arm, but the tabloids had been wondering who Stark's lover of the moment was. Theo didn't have one, but he didn't want to put Elle in charge of clean up if he brought someone. "So who wants to be mine?" Theo wasn't surprised when Adelaide looked over at him. The two's flirty but not defined relationship would make the mission more interesting. However when her eyes went to Danny next, Theo's went to Maddison, his best friend, more than Ari if you could believe. His response made sense. If Theo was choosing someone to fight by, Ari or Walt would be a good choice, but not as a date. Theo didn't miss how Mads's eyes went to Blue and Kaitlyn and that only bothered him more. Did he not want to go with him? It wouldn't surprise him, but the thought still upset him, not that he showed it. Recently, Theo has began looking at Maddison differently. His kind heart became more endearing and his messy hair seemed more mess upable. Theo didn't know exactly what this feeling was, but he wasn't going voice it. Stark men were known to leave a path of destruction behind them.

At the sound of Marisol's question, Theo was quick to jump in. "I received an invitation to this event early in the week so my attendance can be chalked up to the charity wanting a billionaire in their presence. Same thing could be said for Rand. Addie can shapeshift and be an unknown guest with either of us. No one would bat an eye at two wealthy men throwing around money at a charity benefit with a pretty girl on their arm. We might gain some attention, but it wouldn't surprise the Boss's men if we were there. We could act as bait or a distraction to keep Boss's men on us while the rest of you super sneak." It sounded like a solid plan in Theo's mind.

Tabitha Mackenzie

Tabitha rolled her eyes when Addie brought up dates, of course she would have to bring that up, she loved Addie but sometimes she despaired of her too. How to make an already awkward event more awkward for her best friend. Addie knew more than any of the others, except maybe Walt and their leaders, about where Tabitha had come from and how it meant that she was always scrambling to learn things she had missed. There wasn't much opportunity for going to posh events with champagne and caviar when you lived on the streets. Her idea of a posh night was finding unopened leftovers behind Luigi's, the swanky Italian restaurant, and being able to eat them without someone else trying to steal it for themselves. Or it was actually managing to find somewhere that was warm and dry and even, dare she say it, cosy.

She leaned in to Addie and whispered. "Thanks for that Addie." The sarcasm dripped from the words. "For that you get to coach me on what the hell you do at one of these things."

She wasn't truly mad at her friend, she knew Addie was just Addie a force of nature and one who had a habit of doing and saying things on impulse. It was one of the reasons why Tabitha loved her so she couldn't really be mad at her for it.
She turned as she heard Walt and caught his wink, she sighed quietly, she hadn't missed his longing look at Addie and knew what it meant. She knew Walt had a crush on Addie and often wondered how she had managed to end up with a life like that of a soap opera. Her two closest friends, one having a crush on the other, and her in the middle hiding her own feelings on the matter. She had discovered completely by accident that her feelings for Walt had developed beyond that of friendship some time ago but had kept it to herself. She had never discussed it with Addie or Walt and intended to keep it that way but sometimes, like now, she really hated being the best friend.

Of course being who she was, she kept this hidden and simply grinned back at Walt. "Well if I have to go with anyone, I guess you'll do. As long as you sort out my Netflix of course. "

She was listening with half an ear to Stark as she spoke to Walt until what he had said registered fully. A moment of panic hit her, visible in her eyes if you happened to be looking at her just then, as she realised this event was a big deal and would therefore be in the newspapers and possibly even on tv. She had managed up to now to keep a low profile not getting in any of the papers and she wanted to keep it that way. It helped that the team leaders knew who she was running from and helped her avoid any attention. After only a moment the panic vanished as Tabitha regained control of herself and the fun bubbly Tabitha was back.

She looked at Coulson and Ward and raised her eyebrows.

"What about me?" She asked them lightly, as if what she was saying wasn't that important. "While I know that my old...friends won't be at this event, they do read the papers and if they saw my face well it would be awkward

That was the most she would say in front of the others. Only Coulson and Ward knew the whole truth about her life before. Even Addie and Walt only knew a filtered version, that she had grown up on the streets, and nothing about her time with the gang or what she had done whilst with the gang. She could have told them, probably should have, they were her best friends after all but...she was scared they wouldn't look at her the same. It had been hard enough admitting she had been homeless and besides it was her problem and she had to deal with it somehow. The only reason Coulson and Ward knew was because of how she had been recruited. If she had had her way no one would know about those hunting her, and they would still be hunting her, she had been their most valuable asset and her powers had made them one of the most powerful gangs in their neighbourhood and they would not let that go easily.

"Am I going to have to play dress up for this one?" Coulson nodded, "It's a possibility Ms. Darkhölme. Speaking of disguises -" Coulson stopped as Adelaide chimed in again, "Oh, and dates have to be crucial," Ward muttered something under her breath and Coulson pinched the bridge of her nose, they promptly reminded her of Stark and Starlord. "If you insist, just make sure that it doesn't become distracting. We have to remember the real reason for this mission." Ward turned to her nudging her in the shoulder and spoke under his breath, "Let em have some fun Jenna, their lives are stressful enough".

Maddison was next to chime into the idea of dates, "I think dates are a good thing as well, people who have a balance and can easily cover other's weak points. I think we can be capable of choosing our partners." he did have a point, it would also allow them to split up and have eyes all around the building. "It sounds easy enough, but Addie brings a good point. What about those of us who are known to the public? I mean, Theo, Addie, Danny are very well known to the public and government officials not to mention Rand and Stark are petty famous last names." then Tabitha, ""While I know that my old...friends won't be at this event, they do read the papers and if they saw my face well it would be awkward". Ah. Disguises, Coulson hadn't had the chance to finish her sentence, since the topic of dates distracted them momentarily. Before she could speak however, the young Stark beat her to it. "I received an invitation to this event early in the week so my attendance can be chalked up to the charity wanting a billionaire in their presence. Same thing could be said for Rand. Addie can shapeshift and be an unknown guest with either of us. No one would bat an eye at two wealthy men throwing around money at a charity benefit with a pretty girl on their arm. We might gain some attention, but it wouldn't surprise the Boss's men if we were there. We could act as bait or a distraction to keep Boss's men on us while the rest of you super sneak." Coulson spoke quickly after he ended, so she could speak before anyone else got nervous about the idea of hiding their identity. "While that is a grand idea Mr. Stark, there will be no need for worrying about disguises. I will have you all know that the theme for tonight" - she tossed a simple black mask on to the table from in the manilla envelope with the picture - "is masquerade". "It may seem a little corny, but it'll get the job done. We won't have to worry about concealing our indentities, with the flurry of masks I doubt any of you will catch any real attention as long as you lay low. That also means it's going to be harder for us to find the Boss's men so you must keep yourselves alive and on guard. No getting distracted. We are there for one reason, and one only". She cleared her throat and stood up from the table, Ward following in suit. "Now if anyone has anymore questions, NOVAC will attend to you. He's been preset with the information about tonight's mission". NOVAC was the facilities super computer, and had a rather bossy personality of his own. She rolled up the sleeve of her blazer and checked her watch before looking at Ward, "We have an important meeting to attend so unfortunately we won't be here for the night. You all have about half an hour before the limo will arrive, you can thank Ward for that one. That should be enough time to assess plans and get dressed. I wish you all good luck." With that she grabbed her purse, and gave them a curt nod before exiting the room. Ward paused for a moment, smiling at the group, "Don't do anything I wouldn't do" And with that he followed Coulson out the door.

Marisol smirked at Kait's comment, "Of course, but I ain't worried 'bout that pendejo. It's always somethin' with him". She let out a small giggle, quieting down when Coulson spoke again. For the next few moments, Kait tried not to watch Addie blatantly throw herself on Danny just to piss her off. "Oh, and dates have to be crucial," you've got to be kidding me, "So who wants to be mine?" It took every muscle in Kait's body to not roll her eyes so far back in her head at the suggestion. There was no other point to this 'date' idea than the fact that Addie just wanted self satisfaction that every guy wanted to go with her. Kait sunk down a little further in her seat, trying to conceal her bitch face. Not only did Addie's ego piss her off, but the fact that she was going to have to hear Danny ask her out made her heart sink. Not to mention, she'd have to watch the two undress each other with their eyes the whole night. Kait was shocked at how capable someone was of getting so far under her skin.

"I think dates are a good thing as well, people who have a balance and can easily cover other's weak points. I think we can be capable of choosing our partners." Of course, her sweet Maddy offered an actual good point. While the idea of reliving getting picked last for the volleyball team replayed before her, he did have a point. They could split up easier. She noticed he made brief eye contact with her as well and she smiled, if they ended up getting picked last she'd gladly be his partner.

Coulson finally gave the group her last spiel about the mission, Kait could tell there was something on her mind because she kept checking her watch. The most intriguing detail for her was the idea of a masquerade, it provided enough for them to lay low, while still giving off the vibe of a high school prom. After Coulson and Ward left, Kait turned to the others, tucking a stray blonde hair behind her ear. "I guess if some of us insist" - she shot a fake smile at Addy - "on participating in the 'buddy system, then we better figure out that and the game plan now. We don't have a lot of time, but first I think we should have at least two pairs on Dr. Hopkins at all times. Does anyone else have any suggestions?"

Walt looked from Tabby to Kaitlyn and offered a comment, "Tabby and I can scope out the party, I can check for any devices in the building that might be a little out of place. Maybe hack my way into their walki-talkie system if I can get close enough to them".

As Theo Said that, a look of hurt flashed across Maddison's face. Granted he wasn't a girl, he assumed that he would've been easy enough to attend with Theo. But he looked away and nodded towards Ward when he finished up his sentence, and spoke onto say they had half an hour to get ready. Thankfully, his outfit was already picked for him, but a mask? He needed to find a suitable one."Kaitlyn and I could keep an eye on Dr.Hopkins, it wouldn't be that hard. We just have to be more careful and subjective to it. I could even ask her questions and hopefully keep her busy most of the night," the male spoke, his tone a bit bitter. He would politley excuse himslef, and walk up to the room he had in the Young Avenger's tower. He would find his ensemble laid out for him, and smiled. He would notice the mask on the bed, and he would tilt his head toward it. It was a simple mask, yet it seemed to hold a bit of his personality within the design. Wasting no time, he'd get changed into the outfit, and finish with his cuffs then walk back downstairs and hopefully he wasn't the only one who had gotten ready within the small amount of time. He would focus on the bottle of perfume he always wore, sue him it smelt great, and it would appear in his hand. Spraying himself with the vanilla scent, he would place it on the table within a few minutes it should disappear. Never know with his power. He felt like he should say something to Theo when he saw him, but what was there to say? "Hi, I'm jealous of you saying that you should have a pretty girl on your arm even though I've never vocally shown my interest in you, that hurt.". Yeah, no.

He took a breath, and waited for Kaitlyn, maybe during the event he could talk to the woman about it. Maybe she could help him get out of his head on this one, and become more focused on the mission.

"Kaitlyn and I could keep an eye on Dr.Hopkins, it wouldn't be that hard. We just have to be more careful and subjective to it. I could even ask her questions and hopefully keep her busy most of the night," Kait nodded to Maddison. "Sounds like a plan to me. I'll see you out there" she gave him a warm smile and after all of the others were finished assessing the plan she left her seat and returned to her room. Not forgetting to give Mari a sly wink, and a mouthed 'good luck' before she slipped out the door.

She found a beautiful dress in her closet with a diamond mask to match the intricate design. She slipped on the dress and mask, covering her wings with a silvery shawl. She looked at herself in the mirror for a moment crediting Coulson on her choice, it was angelic, she loved it. She made her way down to the ground floor but stopped from turning the corner when she heard Theo and Maddy's voices, she decided not to intrude just yet on their conversation and waited behind by the elevator.

Ari had his hands folded on the table as he listened to the others chat about the plan. It seemed straight-forward, and Ari really didn't mind where they placed him, he would always find someway to be helpful. "And then, Ari and I can help keep tabs on Hopkins as well. With our senses we should be able to hear, see, or sense any funny business goin' on." Ari turned to face Marisol, a little shocked at her offer. He felt instantly guilty about not gathering the courage and asking her first, what a prince he was. "As long as that's okay with you." It took him a moment but then he shot a warm smile her way, "of course, I'd be honored to escort the infamous Spider-Mari" He said the last part rather playfully.

After they had all returned to their rooms Ari changed quickly into his suit and ironic mask. Of course, he didn't forget to slip on his panther claw necklace over his outfit, that triggered his black panther suit. He made his way to Mari's door, taking a moment to straighten his suit and mask before he knocked on her door lightly, before calling out her name politely.

"Well if I have to go with anyone, I guess you'll do. As long as you sort out my Netflix of course. " Walt grinned at her comment and shot her a cheeky wink, "anything for my Tabby Cat". After the others finished deciding The Who's and what's of the plan he slipped away to his room and switched into his suit and mask that he found in his closet. After he finished getting ready he made his way to Tabby's room tapping on the door lightly. "You ready to go Tabs? You gotta check out what Coulson got for me. It's very blue."

"Someone cleans up nice. Be careful I could be two-faced."

A laugh escaped from his mouth, as the male made the two-faced comment. Theo always knew how to make a compliment, but also throw in something about himself. Something that Maddison really loved about him. He was breathtaking as always, in the outfit he was given. Well, one of the options he assumed. But Maddison paled in comparison to what Theo had looked like. "Everything okay with you? You sort of blew me off earlier..", the male froze a bit. Did Theo think he was mad at him? Maddison didn't think there was ever a time he was mad at Theo, probably in their early stages of friendship he thought, but none recently. With a shake of his head, the younger male began to speak. "No, I just thought you might've wanted to go with a pretty girl on your arm." Okay, that came out a bit more bitter than he meant for it too. He looked away from Theo, and looked at the floor. His mind clouded with thoughts. Looking anywhere but at Theo in his eyes. Why couldn't he just admit what he felt? Because then things would be awkward. Theo, despite having relationships with both sexes before, might drop him. He might just assume he was after everything else like the previous people were. And, Maddison couldn't put him through that. He had a fair share of seeing what the paparazzi could do, girls who sold him out after a night of fun and not getting what they wanted. He didn't want them to twist what it was Maddison felt for him. "I'm not mad at you Theo. And I'm sorry that came out wrong, I just assumed you wanted to go with Adelaide. But you didn't do anything wrong, a pretty girl on your arm would lay waste to any suspicion." He spoke before he would smile lightly and finally look up to meet Theo's eyes. Hopefully, the genius wouldn't see through him, as he often did.

Tabitha Mackenzie

Like everyone else Tabitha excused herself as quickly as possible needing to see the 'choices' that had been laid out for her. She scowled at the idea of anyone in her room but reminded herself that neither Ward nor Coulson would snoop nor allow anyone else to. She reached her room and then stopped and stared at the row of outfits hanging from her wardrobe, they were...well wow. They looked expensive and as she ran her hand through the material of one she saw they felt expensive too. She was uncomfortable with thinking too long on how much they had cost, remembering what Ward had told her. To be able to perform her duties she would be provided with any equipment she needed and she certainly needed some for this job. A gala, what did she know about a bloody gala, other than that rich people went to them.

She forced herself to focus and after eyeing each outfit for a short time she finally picked the one that she felt the least awkward in. She had felt like nothing more than a girl playing dress up in the others but this one felt natural and comfortable, it was a simple yet elegant dress and she loved how the style accentuated her figure and made her mane of hair seem even redder. She spent some time taming her mass of hair, struggling and cursing with a pair of straighteners she had borrowed from Addy ages ago and not gotten around to returning, before it finally fell straight down her back. Applying makeup took mere minutes and she was once again grateful for the complexion she had been given. Dark smoky eye shadow, mascara and red lipstick and she was ready to go.

She was about to leave when she suddenly remembered that it was a masquerade and looked around to see if a mask had been left as well. A grin curved her lips when she saw it, someone definitely had a sense of humour about them and a touch of irony.
She had to admit the mask was perfect, it contrasted the black of her dress and simultaneously blended with her red hair but not only that the mask had what looked like old music scores across it and it reminded her of ancient Italian masquerade balls with their many musicians and composers. She slipped it on and turned to the mirror, a stranger looked back at her, even without the mask she would almost have not recognised herself. She looked...elegant. It was a strange feeling yet not one she disliked, after all who didn't like getting to wear her fancy clothes, and mask.

She heard Walt's voice from outside and immediately felt anxious, thoughts of looking ridiculous and of making an idiot of herself flashing through her mind. Knowing she had to get a grip she took a deep breath and reminded herself that she was the daughter of not one but two super powered people and though she had never known them she liked to think she had their strength in her veins. Taking another deep breath she ensured her usual smile was in place and and stepped out into the hallway. She drew a sharp breath in when she saw Walt. He looked good, very good, and her heart swelled with her hidden love for him. Hiding it behind her usual joking demeanor she made a show of critically examining him.

"Wow that is a lot of blue." She said. "But it suits you. Looking good Walt."

She then did a small twirl. "What do you think?"
