A/N: Hello everyone! So this is the second story in my Kaycee Stark series. So if you haven't read The Young Stark, you might want to read it. So this one takes place during the Avengers.

Disclaimer: I do not own any Marvel characters, except for my oc Kaycee.

~xXx~

"New York?" Kaycee repeated from her seat on the couch. "For how long?"

"Just for a little bit, just to check out my greatest idea yet." Tony said to his daughter as he took a seat beside her.

"Don't you mean Pepper's idea?"

"Okay, well if you want to get technical. But pepper thinks it would be a good thing for you to get out of the house. And who knows, maybe hang with that guy friend of yours. What's his name? Peter something-"

"Parker. And I don't know. He may be busy with school or something. But yeah, I guess that would be cool." Kaycee answered. "When do we leave?"

Tony checked his watch. "In about forty-five minutes."

"DAD,"

"Surprise! Might want to start packing." Kaycee rolled her eyes and started to head up the stairs.

It had been two years since the drone incident and things had returned to normal. Well, somewhat normal for the Starks. Tony had promised to not keep anything from Kaycee and so far he had lived up to that promise. Kaycee, however did the same, she even told him about Peter. Except for the whole Spider-man ordeal. In fact Kaycee and Peter had kept in touch for the whole two years since they met.

Once she reached her bedroom, she grabbed her suitcase from within her closet and began to throw clothes in it.

"Just got the news, huh?" A familiar voice spoke. Kaycee turned around to see Pepper standing there, already packed suitcase at her side.

"Yep. Want to help?"

Pepper nodded and walked over to her closet to find a few outfits to add. "You know, it might help fit if you fold your clothes."

"Well, the sooner I finish packing, the sooner I can let Peter know where I'm going." Kaycee said turning to look at Pepper who had a smile on her face. "What?"

"Nothing," She answered. "I'm just happy that you have a non-family friend. It's kinda cute. You know one of these days, your going to have to tell him that you like him."

"No way. Besides dad would have a heart attack if he found out I was going on a date or something."

"Kaycee, you'll be turning eighteen in a few months. If your father can't take the news about you going on a date, then he needs to accept the fact that you're growing." Pepper said as she put in the last pair of clothes in the bag.

"Why are we discussing me going on a date. Peter and I are just friends." Kaycee said as she closed the suitcase.

"I'm just saying its possibility." Pepper told her. "Why don't you go and call Peter. I'll take your bag downstairs with mine."

"Thanks Pep!" Kaycee said as she raced for her phone on the night stand to her balcony.

Once she was outside, she scanned through her contacts for Peter's number and then dialed the number. As the phone ringed, she became excited, excited just to hear his voice. But instead of being greeted by his voice, she was greeted by his voicemail.

"Hey Peter, its me, Kaycee. I've got good news. I'm going to be in New York for a little while. I was hoping we could hang or something. Just text or call me when you get this." She then hung up.

'That's weird,' Kaycee thought. 'He usually answers.' Kaycee just shook it off and headed back inside.

~xXx~

After the long trip to New York, the three made it to Stark Tower. Tony was the most excited out of the group. Pointing out different areas of the building that were designed by himself or Pepper as they made their way to the elevator.

"Has Jarvis been installed?" Kaycee asked.

Tony scoffed. "Of course. Jarvis always comes first. Right, Jarvis?"

"Yes, Mr. Stark." the AL replied.

"But I still have a few more things to do," Tony continued. " I still have to travel down to the main pipe and disconnected the transmission lines,"

"That way we'll be off the grid," Kaycee added.

"And Stark Tower will be a beacon of self sustaining energy." Tony finished.

"Assuming the Arc Reactor takes over and actually works."

"I assume." He responded.

They rode the elevator up to the top level, which led them to the main apartment. Kaycee stepped out of the elevator and looked around.

"Place looks great, guys." She said.

"Thanks, Kaycee." Pepper answered, meanwhile Tony was busy messing with the touch screen on the elevator.

"Tony," Pepper scolded.

Tony smiled sheepishly and stepped out. "Sorry. Final touches are important."

"They are." Pepper said. "And speaking of final touches, Kaycee why don't you go check out your room! I picked out everything myself."

"Peps, you didn't have to." Kaycee said, taking a seat on the nearby couch.

"I just want you to feel at home."

Kaycee smiled. "Thanks, mo- I mean, Pepper."

Pepper gave a small smile, just as Kaycee headed out to explore more of the tower. Just as she was out of the room, Pepper turned to Tony.

"Did you hear that? Tony, she almost called me mom!" she smiled at Tony.

Tony smiled. "Just give her time, Pep. I'm honestly shocked she hasn't called you that sooner, like three."

~xXx~

By the time Kaycee finished exploring the tower, Pepper was already setting up drinks in the main living room.

"Hey Pep, where's dad?" she asked.

"He's disconnecting the transmission lines." Pepper answered. "Kaycee, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Yeah, what's up." The younger girl asked, taking a seat next to Pepper.

The older woman smiled. "Earlier when we first got here, you almost called me 'mom'."

"I'm sorry about that, you probably don't want me calling you that."

"No, no, no. I'm perfectly fine with it, Kay. It would be an honor to be called 'mom'."

"Okay then… mom." Pepper gave a small squeal and hugged the young girl, which she returned.

"Hey, come in Pepper." Tony's voice was heard from Pepper's phone. "Light it up."
Pepper let go of Kaycee and reached over the counter and pressed a button on Tony's ipad. The two looked outside of the tower and noticed a light illuminate the outer deck of the tower.

"How does it look?" Pepper asked Tony.

"Like Christmas, but with more, me." he replied.

"We gotta go wide on the public awareness campaign, you need to do some press." Pepper said. "I'm in D.C. tomorrow, I'm going to work on the next zonings on the next three buildings."

"Pepper, enjoy the moment. Remember?"

"Then get in here, so we as a family can enjoy the moment."

Just a few seconds later, Tony had landed just on the outside of the tower and was being rid of the suit as he was walking inside.

"Levels are holding steady." Pepper observed from the hologram projecting from the ipad.

"Of course they are. I was directly involved." Tony said, making his way over to the two. "Which brings me to my next question. How does it feel to be a genius?"

"Well, I really wouldn't know,would I?" Pepper responded.

Tony was standing behind Pepper, putting his arms around her waist. "What do you mean? All this came from you."

"No, all this came from that." Pepper turned around in his arms and pointed to his arc reator.

Tony smiled. "Give yourself some credit, please. Stark Tower is your baby. Giver yourself twelve percent of the credit."

"Twelve percent of Pepper's baby?" Kaycee asked.

"An argument could be made for fifteen." Tony answered Kaycee. "And well, I did do all the heavy lifting. Literally, I lifted the heavy things."

Kaycee just rolled her eyes as her father went on about the workmanship. She stood and followed the two adults over to the couch.

"I'm going to pay for that twelve percent comment later, in some sort of way aren't I?" Tony asked.

'She might not be so subtle," Kaycee smiled.

"I'll tell you what," Tony looked from Kaycee to Pepper. "Next building will have the name 'Potts' on it."

"On the lease," Pepper smiled, going to toast, until Tony hesitated.

"Call your mom. Can you bunk over?" he asked.

"Sir, the telephone." Jarvis spoke. "I'm afraid my protocols are being overriden."

"Mr. Stark, we need to talk." said a familiar voice, coming from Tony's Phone.

"You have reached the life model decoy of Tony Stark, please leave a message." Tony said into the phone, causing Kaycee to laugh.

"This is urgent."

"Then leave it urgently."

Just then the elevator doors opened revealing Agent Pphil Coulson.

"Security breach," Kaycee said to her dad.

"Phil," Pepper smiled, standing up. "Come in."

"Phil?" Tony said. "Um, his first name is agent."

"I can't stay." Phil told them.

"Come on in, we're celebrating." Kaycee told him.

"Which is why he can't stay," Tony said to Kaycee, standing up to stand next to Pepper.

"We need you to look this over as soon as possible." Coulson said, hand Tony a black tablet.

"I don't like to be handed things." Tony responded.

"Well, I love to be handed things, so lets trade." Pepper said as she and Phil switched and she switched with Tony.

"Official consulting hours are between eight and five every other Friday." Tony joked.

"This isn't a consultation."

"Is this about the Avengers?" Kaycee asked, causing all three adults to look back at her. "Which I know nothing about."

The Avenger's initiative was scrapped, I thought." said Tony, walking away and putting the tablet together. "And I didn't even qualify."

"I didn't know that either." Kaycee added.

"Yeah, apparently I'm volatile, self- obsessed, and don't play well with others."

"That we did know," Pepper said.

Coulson spoke up. "This isn't about personality profiles anymore."

"Whatever," Tony said, not bothering to face them. "Ms. Potts, may I have a word?"

Pepper smiled then headed over to Tony where the two were quietly talking to each other. Kaycee took this chance to speak with Coulson.

"Hey, agent Coulson,"

"Hello, Ms. Stark." Coulson gave her a friendly smile.

"I was wondering if you've heard from Peter? I tried calling him and texting him, but he hasn't answered either."

"Uh," Coulson kept his eyes on Tony and Pepper. "I probably shouldn't be the one telling you this but, uh, his uncle passed away recently."

Kaycee looked away. "Oh. Well um, if you do get the chance to talk to him, just tell him I'm sorry. For his loss, of course."

"Of course."

Just then, Kaycee heard the sound of something similar to a dinosaurs' roar and saw footage from the hulk on a hologram from the talet. Then Pepper was walking towards Kaycee.

"Kaycee, why don't you come with me to D.C. tonight, your father's going to be busy with homework." Pepper told her. But before Kaycee could protest, Tony was walking towards them.

"No, I want Kaycee here. With me." Pepper looked like she was about to object. "I promised Kaycee that I wouldn't be keeping secrets from her. I think it would be best if she stayed to help me."

"I don't think that would be wise," Coulson told him.

"Well, I don't think Fury would mind." Tony wrapped an arm around Kaycee.

Coulson forced himself to smile and not glare at Tony. "Alright then."

Pepper hugged Kaycee and turned to Coulson. "Mind dropping me off?"

"No problem." Phil smiled.

After Pepper and Coulson left, Tony turned to his daughter.

"Ready to begin?"

"Sure."
