"I will ask you again: who are you and what are you doing here?"

I rolled my eyes at the security guard. "I told you that already, Mr…." I looked down at his name tag. "Hogan."

"Show me proof."

"Does it look like i carry that kind of paperwork with me all the time?" He raised a brow in reply.

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave, miss."

I huffed in defeat. "Fine…." He escorted me outside the tower and left me on the sidewalk.

Plan B then….

I looked around and devised a way to sneak in. Since someone didn't believe the truth…. I pulled out my phone and figured out what floor i needed to get to. That is….a whole lot a floors. I shrugged and went on with the plan.

Ten minutes later, I was on the stairwell headed towards the 15th floor. Thank God i didn't where heels today… First few floors were fine, but soon the calves started to burn. Okay, girl...8 down, 7 to go….You can do this….

Finally, I got to the 15th floor, nearly crawling over the threshold. I looked around and found the common area empty. Well, this was for nothing then. Voices came down from down the hall towards the kitchen.

"You know what, Romanoff…."

You could feel the smirk radiating off him.

"You better watch out, Tasha, or the old man will whack you with his cane."

"Barton…." the man warned.

"Come on, Cap!" Barton whined. "Live a…" His eyes met mine and he frowned. "Elisabeth, what the hell are you doing here?"

A man came out of the elevator and stared at me. "Whoa…..it's like a mini-Clintasha."

I turned to him with narrowed eyes. "Have you been on the internet too much or something?"

"Something like that," he replied, shrugging his shoulders. He held out his hand. "Tony Stark, but you probably know who I am."

"Yes, sir." I shook his hand.

"So, Lizzie, I have to ask: how did you get past security?"

"I didn't at first. That security guard of your's made it hard." I said. "When he didn't believe the truth, he kicked me out and I snuck in. BUt i will not tell you how."

Barton smirked. "The truth isn't believable. I wouldn't believe you either."

"You know?" Tony asked.

"Of course, I'm….me."

THe elevator opened and the guard can barreling through. "Sir, someone broke into…" he looked over and saw me. "There she is. Come on, you. THe police are waiting outside."

"Police?" they all exclaimed. (bold is russian)

"то ты ему сказал?" (What did you tell them?) Natasha exclaimed.

"Правда," (The truth).

Hogan grabbed my arm. "Just because you speak her language doesn't mean she's your mommy."

"What?" the team, minus Hawkeye and Black Widow, exclaimed.

"Mommy?" Tony asked, pointing between me and the spy. "But who's your…." His eyes widened. "It's Legolas isn't it?"

"What would make you think that?" I asked.

"Yeah, Tony," Barton agreed. "I mean I'm flattered, but…" Tasha slapped him on the shoulder. "What?" She jerked her head towards them. He shook his head. "Nuh uh, that's a secret."

I rolled my eyes and turned to Tony. "One word, dude: Budapest."

"Elisabeth Alianova, that was a secret!" he shrieked. I motioned to myself.

"Not much of a secret now, is it?"

"Wait a minute…" Tony muttered. "You're what happened in Budapest…" His eyes blinked, a smile spreading across his face. "Cap, you owe me twenty bucks!"
