“Please. Steven refuses to acknowledge that we have a bit of an artifact hoarding problem, even though a lot of the things here would be better off in museums,” Artemis said, relief in her voice.

Kiania screwed the top off the bottle, dumping a couple of the painkillers onto Eliza's palm. "Maybe they didn't find what they were looking for."

Nat noticed that Artemis Kelly calling her dad by his name. It was a bit strange to her. Then again…
Nat welcomed a reassuring smile to her face. "Sure. Just tell me what to do."

Replying to Kiania, Artemis said, "That is a possibility. We keep the most dangerous artifacts in an undisclosed location." She turned to Nat. "I think our priority should be getting these bodies into the cabinet before-" Suddenly, there was a shout from downstairs. "This is the third time this month I've had to replace these doors!" a man's voice called, sounded exasperated. "I was going to say before Steven gets home, but he's already here," Artemis said dejectedly.

"Go stall him." Kiania said, standing up and tucking the bottle away. "Where's that cabinet of yours?" She was already starting for one of the bodies, hefting the man up with surprising strength.

Nat nodded in agreement with Kiania. "I'll help you." Her eyes darted to Artemis. "Good better hurry."

"It's just over there, and it has a green tarp hanging over it," Artemis said, jiggling her leg with nervous energy. "I don't think I can stall him for very long, but I can certainly try." She turned around, only to see Dr. Steven Strange standing at the door behind her, his arms crossed across his chest and a stern look in his eyes. "I see you invited people over," he said wryly. "I hope it wasn't one of them who broke the door. Maybe it was the unconscious people you're trying to hide in the cabinet of holding." Artemis ducked her head down, her face going scarlet with shame. "Sorry, Steven. You were away, and I didn't want to worry you."

Nat straightened professionally. "Dr. Strange," she greeted simply.

"So close. Today's full of bad luck." Kiania shrugged, letting the man drop unceremoniously to the ground.

Dr. Strange nodded at Nat, and rolled his eyes at Kiania's quip. "At least you're making some friends," he said, "even if they are all Avengers. Now, would you care to explain to me what happened?" Artemis looked up. "I got an alarm that the Sanctum was under attack, and they offered to come with me. When we arrived, the intruders were in here, trying to flee with all of the artifacts. I attempted to scare them off, but it didn't work, so they assisted me in taking care of them. I don't know why they were here, truly."

"Why does everyone keep assuming I'm an Avenger?" Kiania grumbled, pulling out her once again ringing phone to turn the volume off.

Nat pressed her lips together. She wasn't an Avenger. She was even wearing her new S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform.

"I apologize. My step-daughter had told me that she was trying to make friends with the younger members of the Avengers, so I just assumed," Dr. Strange said. "I'm pushing her to do it because the poor thing is 17 and hasn't invited anyone over in years!" he informed them with an amused smile on his face. Artemis went beet red again. "Steven, you really must stop embarrassing me like this," she mumbled.

(Camie, can I create a male character? I feel like we need some of them.)

Adrielle has heard the commotion and had, like many others, moved over to see what was up.
”Is it true?” she heard a woman whisper. ”Did the Sanctum really get attacked?”
Adrielle blinked. So that was what the noise had been. She rolled her eyes. They were so weak they couldn’t even keep someone from breaking in.

(Yeah, sure! Who's child?)

Nat ran a hand through her hair as her phone buzzed. She slipped it out and answered it. "Hello?… Yes, Mom, I'm fine…….. Okay……………….. Yeah, we're fine……… Okay, how long?……………. Okay then. See you soon."

(I was thinking Star Lord’s son, if that’s okay…)

Adrielle walked up to the enterance of the building and leaned in the doorway, scoffing. The place was a mess, with blood everywhere.

(Yes, that works!)

Nat heard someone scoffing. She narrowed her eyes at Adrielle, recognizing her from the forest. "Problem?"

Dr. Strange and Artemis turned around, both noticing Adrielle at the same time. “Excuse me, but this is private property of the Sorcerers’ Guild of New York City. You don’t look like a cop, so if you wouldn’t mind leaving, that would be wonderful,” Dr. Strange said. “Wait a second, I remember you!” Artemis said cheerfully. “You’re the one who wanted the Avengers to disband, correct?”

Adrielle stared at them. She didn’t reply, just glared at Strange, not seeming to notice the others.

(Cool! Do you want me to fill out the template, or just toss him in?)

(You can toss him in)

Nat's eyes narrowed, noticing the girl's hard stare. "Didn't you hear him?" she asked, siding with Strange.

(Cool!)

Adrielle finally turned to the other girl. "No, I'm deaf," she said sarcastically.

Jett ran through the crowd, dodging through arms and around old ladies. He ran so fast he wasn't sure he'd be able to stop without running into a wall, but hey, that was nothing new. He skidded to a stop right before he hit the wall of the Sanctum, and fist pumped.

Nat glared. She hated people like this. She got it from her moms. "So why don't you just leave?"

"What's with the animosity here?" Kiania asked, raising an eyebrow as she looked between the two.

"Ask her," Nat replied, not taking her eyes of the girl. Natasha's voice was in her head. Don't look away from me when we're fighting. That's how you get blindsided.

Adrielle glanced at the girl who had spoken. "Don't ask me. I come in here, and all of a sudden people start treating me like a criminal." She rolled her eyes. "Of course, I expect no less from the Avengers' children."

Nat was tense. Her muscles hurt she was clenching them that badly. "Why don't you just leave?"

"That's the second time you've said that," Adrielle said lazily.

"Or," Kiania started, furrowing her brows. "We could all just chill for like, two seconds."

Jett bounced into the room like a hyper five-year-old. "Hi guys! Who are you? What's happening?"
