Valerie's P.O.V
28/12/2016 3:30 PM London

Yesterday was kinda exhausting. I packed my things, went shopping, came back home and had make a ton shit of calls to make sure nothing goes wrong, move things around the house because, well I'm leaving.

I called dad. Had to make sure he's ready too. My plane is tomorrow, yes I'm nervous. I've never been to New York. I visited alot of places, just not New York.

"Hello?" He answered my call. "Uh, hey dad. It's Val. I wanted to know if you prepared like a room and stuff? And like do you have everything or do I have to bring something from here? And please make sure I have an Xbox and a mini refrigirator so I won't have to leave my room at night." I said way too fast. I was so worried, yet so excited. "I'm working on it. I have to leave now sweety. I'm going to tell the team about you. They have to know who Valerie Stark is." "Oh. O-okay. Y-yeah cool. BUT please just tell them the good things. Don't freak them out." I laughed to myself. I had some personality flaws soo..."yeah yeah suuure. Just some warnings though." He chuckled. "When is your flight? Do you need me to send someone to pick you up from the airport or do you have something planned?" He asked. Damn it. I forgot to book a conveyance. "Tomorrow 11:AM. And I somehow forgot booking or ordering someone to pick my ass up from the airport. God I hate myself." "Don't hate yourself. I'll tell someone to pick you. Remember you still can't be seen with me for your own safety." He said. God I hated that sentence. "Yeah, yeah I know thanks." I said annoying crestal clear in my voice. "Ok I'll go now. I have to tell them about you, and ofcourse they aren't going to tell anyone about you. I love you pumpkin." He said. "I love you too Dad." I sighed. He hangged up the line. I really hope he does say the good things about me. What if his team hated me? No. No Val. Put those thoughts away. Concentrate on going there first.

I got up and looked for something to do. Made sure I had everything in my bags.
I hope this goes well.

***************
At the Avenger's Tower. 10:30 AM. NYC

Steve and Natasha, as promised, prepared a meeting in the living room. This was something that had to do with the team as a family, not as Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Everyone joined. Thor, Loki, Sam, Scott, Clint, Bruce, Wanda, Vision, Piettro, and ofcourse Tony, Natasha and Steve.

"Thank you guys for accepting to be here an- wait. Where's Metal Armed Ex- Assassain?" Tony asked noticing Bucky wasn't there. "Uh yeah about that" Steve stuttered. "H-he doesn't want to join, but He said whatever it is he won't talk about it. He just still didn't get used to being, you know, free from Hydra, and he still feels that he'll hurt someone if he is. He thinks he'll just turn Winter Soldier mode at any moment." Steve said sadness covering his voice. "Well, good for him. If he thinks that he might turn Winter Soldier mode at anytime, he better stay away from her." Tony said turning his back to the team. "Her?" Thor asked. "Yes. And this is why I want to talk to you guys. I have a d-daughter. Valerie. Valerie Anthony Howard Stark." "WHAT!?" The team ,those who didn't know, asked surprised. "You have a-a DAUGHTER? WHEN AND HOW?" Sam asked. "Before more of you start asking more question about how and when and shit like that, let me tell you something. She's coming tomorrow. Her flight from London To New York. Her plane takes off 11:00 AM depending on the London timezone, which means 6 AM here. The plane lands 12:50 AM. Our timezone. So, I'll need two of you guys to go and pick her up, but I'll need Loki to use an illusion or something on the people who will pick her up to change how they look. I don't want to risk someone seeing her with us and attacking her anytime. So before I tell you guys about her, who'll go? Please." Tony said looking at his mates' faces. "I'll go" said Natasha. "Me too." Steve followed. "Loki you need to figure how we're supposed to look" Natasha said gesturing to Loki. "Of course, but how about we know about this Valerie now." He asked. "Uh yeah. Valerie is my 20 years old daughter. Her mother, Ella Jefferson, the first woman my heart ever loved. I had her when I was 27, her mom was 25."

"We all lived in London together, until Val was 5 I had to come back here for the sake of the company. So I left them and tried visiting them from time to time."

"Ella died when Val was 8 in a car accident, she was driving and somehow she hit a tree. They called me and I came back to her. I stayed with her for a while, I wanted to bring her with me here to New York, but I couldn't. So I left her there with her mom's friend. I check on her everyday through facetime or something."

"Valerie graduated high school and now is in college" He smiled to hiself. "She's strong and independant, and very, very kind. But very sarcastic and judgemental."

"I think I know were she gets those traits from." Sam joked and the team laughed. "I'll take that as a complement birdman. Anyway. Just a warning for you guys, don't mess with her. She's really evil sometimes." He chuckled. "Okay can we see a picture please? Piettro asked. "I mean how are we supposed to know who she is in the airport?". "You're not going to the airport. Buuut here's a picture anyway." Tony handed him a picture of Val. "Oh god damn. Stark. Seriously? This is your daughter?" Peittro said, astonished by how beautiful Valerie is. "Show me" Wanda who sat next to him said. "Wow Stark. You 2 knew how to make babies for sure." She winked and passed the picture to Natasha.

After the team saw Val, and all made their annoying grandpa jokes Tony tucked the picture in his pockets.

"Steve, Nat. You 2 now know who to pick up. Loki please don't forget that illusion thing. Wanda, Sam and Piettro, do you guys mind coming shopping with me? I need to buy her stuff to prepare her room you know." Tony said. They all nodded and headed to do what they were asked.
