Training
Peter held his girlfriend’s hand as he took her inside and guided her around. “This place is a lot bigger than it is on the outside.” Rose said, looking around.
“Yeah, it is.” The boy said, turning a corner. “I would get lost if it wasn’t for Friday.” The boy stopped in front of a pair of doors. “This is the commons room.” He held the door open for the girl.
Rose stepped in and looked around. A kitchen was to the right, to the left was a set of white couches and in the back was a large dining room table. Two of the walls were made of glass, allowing a beautiful view of the landscaping.
“Not bad.” The girl said, taking a seat on a couch.
“I know it has nothing on your inland.” The boy looked around the room. “But it has its moments.”
“You would see the rest of the place.” Pepper said, walking into the room.
“Hey, mom.” Peter smiled at the woman.
“Hello, Pepper.” Rose said with a wave and smile. “Having a good day?”
The woman sighed. “So far, yes. But I’ve learned with the Avengers, that can change at the drop of a hat.”
“If you want, you can have one of my energy potions.” Rose pull out a bottle with green liquid inside.
“Energy potion?” Bruce asked interning the room, followed by Tony and Rhodey.
“Yes.” The girl confirmed. “One of these will give you the energy equal to three cups of coffee. With none of the side effects.” She flew to the other woman and handed the potion over. “Just don’t let Peter drink it.”
“It’s not my fault I’m hyperactivity. It’s the spider bite that made me like this.” The boy protested, crossing his arms.
“True.” The girl giggled, waking over to the boy and giving him a kiss on the cheek. “That’s why I make your own bottles.” She held out a bottle a third the size as the first.
Peter took the bottle and placed it in his pocket. “Thank you.” He said, give his girl a quirk kiss.
Pepper giggled watching the two, before the bottle was taken from her hands. “Tony!” She said, looking at the man.
The man eyed the green liquid. “This bottle has three cups of coffee?” Tony asked, opening the bottle and giving it a sniff.
“How long do the effects last?” Bruce asked, looking at the bottle. “What are the ingredients?”
“How long does it take to start working?” Tony asked, handing the bottle back to his fiancé.
Bruce looked to the girl. “How many can you take in a day?”
Rose sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. “Scientist always ask so many questions.” She muttered. “It will last equal to how long three cups of coffee last you. The ingredients are all natural and it take about five to ten minutes for it to take effect. As for how many, you should use no more than two a day.”
“Can-”
“Stop!” The girl said, stopping Tony from asking another question. “My turn to ask a question.”
Pepper and Rhode chuckled. “Sure kid. Ask your question.” The colonel said, taking a seat on a couch.
“What is this I hear about training?” Rose asked, setting back down. “I believe I’ve told you people, I have no interest in training with you.”
“Let’s just say, Cap is very stubborn.” Rhodey stated, with a grin. “So get ready for a work out.”
“Rose. Peter. Captain Rogers has asked for you to go to the training room.” Friday said.
Rose rolled her eyes as she stood up. “Then it looks like I’ll have to show are good captain, I don’t like being harassed.”
“Please don’t destroy the building.” Peter said, walking to the door.
“Oh, Peter.” The girl smiled at him. “You would know me better than that.” This statement made the boy groan.
The Training Room
“Rose, front and center.” Steve order, from the top of the practice mats. The girl crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. “Rose, that means come here.” The man pointed to the spot in front of him.
“I know what it means, Captain.” The girl stated, taking off her gloves and looking at her nails. “What do you guys think, blood red or sky blue?” She changed the color of her nails for all to see.
Peter chuckled at his girlfriend, but stopped when he got a look from Steve. “Rose, you need training and you are going to train.” The soldier said, crossing his arms.
“Tell me one thing. Is King T’challa even coming, or is that a lie you told Peter to help me get here?” The girl asked, her anger clearly showing.
“T’challa is come, that wasn’t a lie.” Nat said, starring at the girl.
“So you used Peter for you own gain.” Rose stated. She cracked he knuckles and neck. “I’m going to enjoy this.” She said, with a smirk that made many of the people seeing it shiver.
Once she was standing before the Captain, the man smiled. “Okay, show me what you got.” He ready for attack and waited for the girl to come at him.
Rose did nothing but stand there eyeing the soldier with a cold stare. After a moment it was clear the girl wasn’t going to attack. So Steve took the first attack and rushed the teen with a punch. The girl side stepped the man and waited for the next attack. “Too slow.” She said, taking a step away. Cap followed after her with a left hook, only for the teen to back flip out of reach. “Too slow.” She grinned. The soldier rushed at the girl with three fast punches. Rose dodged the first two attacks before jumping into the air and landing on the man’s hand. She took a step onto Steve’s shoulder and jumped behind him.
“Kid, what are you doing?” Steve asked.
“Showing you what I can do.” Rise said, with a smirk.
The man shook his head and thought of a new plan of attack. He ready his stance as the girl did the same, moving her feet together and had hands up. Steve looked the girl in the eyes for a moment, before doing a round house at the girl’s knee. But the girl was ready for it and once again surprised everyone by moonwalking away from the attack. This made many of the spectators chuckled and smile. Cap on the other hand was starting to get annoyed and rushed the teen with a fury of attacks. Rose expertly side stepped and dodged every blow with her impressive dance moves. Even doing a no hands cartwheel out of the way.
“You can’t dodge forever.” Cap said, throwing a high kick.
“True.” The girl said, jumping out of the way and gaining some space from the onslaught. “I just have to outlast you.”
Steve smirked. “I can do this all day.” He said, getting ready to go again.
“And I can do this all week.” Rose’s eyes flashed white for a moment. “But I’m getting bored.” She stretched her arms into the air. “I shall take my leave, now.”
“Friday, lock all the doors to this room.” The soldier said.
“Really? This game again?” The teen asked, rolling her eyes.
“Tony checked. You may have a back door into the tower.” Steve began. “But the compound is on a different system.”
“So that’s why you made me come here.” Rose smiled. “You didn’t want Memory interfering.” She clapped at the man. “You are starting to learn. However,” She held her hand over her chest and channeled magic into it. “Why would I need Memory, when I can just make a hole in this dimensions.” She made a fist and swung it to the side. A loud sound like glass braking made the room go silent. “Good bye, Captain.” Rose said, walking into the broken glass of the dimension.
“What the hell was that?!” Clint asked, when the hole closed.
Everyone turned to Peter for an answer. “Don’t look at me. I stopped trying to figure how she does, the things she does, a long time ago.”
“It would seem the young witch is capable of opening a doorway into the mirror dimension.” Thor stated. “To do it without a magical item and so easily. I can see why she is called a prodigy.”
Becky slapped his friend on the back and said. “Looks like she out smarted you again, punk.” He grinned.
Steve just shook his head and walked off the mat. “Friday, unlock the doors.” Everyone followed the man out.
Everyone but one.
Wanda stood starring at the spot Rose disappear. “Are you, okay?” Someone asked, pulling her out of her thoughts.
“I’m fine, Vision.” She said, turning to leave. “I was just thinking.”
“Of what?” The man asked.
“It not important, right now.” She said, walking to the doors. “Come on, I’m hungry.”
Peter made his way to the commons room when Cap called out to him. “Peter, I need to talk to you.”
The teen stopped and looked at the man. “Cap, if it’s about me trying to make Rose train, I’m not getting in the middle.” He stated.
“Son, I know she means a lot to you. But she needs to learn to be on this team she needs to train with the team.” Steve said, patting the teen on the shoulder.
Peter nodded. “Okay. First, don’t call me son.” He pushed the man’s hand off. “Second, Rose doesn’t want to be an Avenger.” He stated, looking into the man’s eyes. “And I’m not going to force her into doing something she doesn’t want to do.” Peter walked away from the man and made his way back to the commons room.
