NYU

"Another day done" Yelena spoke to herself as she entered her dorm. Her smile dissapeared as she looked around.

Dropping her backpack she called out, "come out, I know you're there"

"Not bad" Natasha walked out of a corner looking at Yelena with a gentle smile on her face. "Hello sister".

"That all" Yelena spoke her eyes narrowing with a frown on her face, "you left me without saying anything and now you come here and say hello"

"I'm sorry"

Yelena chuckled as she heard that, "did you even look for me".

"I thought you were living a better life"

*scoff* "I wouldn't call the life I lived a better one"

"Red room I heard"

There was a brief moment of silence between the two sisters as neither uttered a word to the other.

"Why are you here?" Yelena finally asked, "I wanted to talk to my sister"

A pissed of Gwen made her way into the Bat cave ripping of her mask.

"who does that b*tch think she is?" Gwen muttered to herself. She had spent the rest of the evening searching for 'batwoman' but turned out with nothing causing her anger and frustration to reach an all new high. As she headed for the gym with Sebastian looking at her with curious eyes.

"A bottle of water perhaps miss" Sebastian walked into the gym and offered a bottle to the blonde who was letting out all her frustrations on the punching bag before her.

"Thanks Sebastian" Gwen moved in to take the bottle water from the kind old gentleman. "So what exactly is the problem miss?"

Gwen let out a sigh before turning to the old man and telling him the events of that night. "Explosions, a woman who bested even you in battle running around with the bat symbol, hmm you're right this is serious"

"She didn't best me in battle okay it was a draw and with a bit more preparation I could have easily taken her"

"Of course miss, but either way master Jeff must be made aware of all of this"

A new day had arrived with Jeff seated at the dinning table having his breakfast, Jeff had to admit the house was a bit too quiet without Yelena.

Jeff let out a laugh at his own thought Yelena hadn't been here long yet her presence in the manor was now irreplaceable.

Jeff wouldn't admit it but he did enjoy the company.

*ding*

The sound of the doorbell going off brought Jeff out of his thoughts. "Don't worry sir, I'll get it" Sebastian spoke as he made his way to the door with Jeff following after him.

Jeff arrived to see a Sebastian having a conversation with a woman. Sebastian moved aside allowing for the woman to step in, the woman had short brown hair, she wore a pair of black jeans alongside a black jacket over a grey shirt.

Looking closer at her neck, Jeff noticed a tattoo of a rose, but what really drew his attention was her eyes, her grey eyes that were all too familiar.

"What you just going to stare, not even a hello" The lady spoke allowing for Jeff to recall exactly who she was.

"Kate?"

"Hey Jeff" Kate spoke as she dropped her bags and moved in to hug him. "You got taller" Kate said as they seperated with a smirk on her face, "you've... changed, when was the last time we even saw each other"

"Before you left for boarding school" the smile on Jeff's face disappeared for a moment when she mentioned boarding school.

"yeah, I remember. So what have you been up to?"

"Nothing much, just traveling the world"

"That sounds fun"

"Oh it is, I got to meet some interesting people as well. Anyway I was in New York for a while and thought I'd crash here for a bit."

"Of course, this is as much your home as it is mine"

"I'll take care of your bags miss" Sebastian spoke as he moved to take her bags but Kate was quick to grab a backpack, causing both Sebastian and Jeff to look at her.

"Sorry, I just like to carry this backpack myself." Sebastian gave a nod his ever present smile still on his face as he took the remaining bags away.

Outside a hospital,

Tens of reporters stood anticipation his arrival, A blonde woman stood right before the entrance with her cameraman filming.

"we are awaiting the arrival of Tony Stark we are hoping he gives us the reaction, his reaction to the latest attack."

Just as the lady finished Tony stepped out causing all reporters to rush towards him.

"Mr Stark sources are telling us this is another Mandarin attack is there anything you can tell us" Tony ignored the reporters question alongside many others as he made his way towards his car.

He stopped when he heard a question from a male reporter, "Hey Mr. Stark when is someone going to kill this guy". Tony turned to face the reporter who had his phone aimed at him.

"Just saying"

"Is that what you want? Here's a little Holiday greeting I've been wanting to send to the Mandarin. I just didn't know how to phrase it until now, my name is Tony Stark and I'm not afraid of you. I know you are a coward, so I've decided you just die pal, and I'll come get the body. There is no politics here is just good old fashion revenge, no Pentagon is just you and me, and of the off chance you're a man here is my home address 10880 Malibu 90365. I'll leave the door unlocked."

"That's what you want right?" Tony directed his question to the reporter before grabbing his phone and throwing it into a pillar.

"Bill me" Tony left his last words before getting into his car and driving off.
