The Littlest Maximoff (Avengers Fanfiction)

Fourteen

Natasha was a much better teacher than she gave herself credit for; although, many of her moves fell a bit flat with their effects because of my size.

She said that was okay though, the older I got the more efficient they would be she said.

Clint had even started showing me how to shoot, even if it was just a modified paintball pistol.

He said it was easier to see where I had shot than a normal pistol, and that one day he would let me work my way up to being able to use one.

Steve had wandered in during one of Natasha and I's sessions and offered to teach me how to box, so I now had plenty of activities to fill my day. Or, I did until Tony came down to Pietro, Wanda, and I's floor.

"She needs to go to school," he informed.

He had Bruce with him, probably as a mediator. Bruce was good at remaining neutral.

"It is not safe for her there, what if something happens? What if someone finds out about what she can do?" Pietro hissed, trying to keep his voice down.

I pressed myself against the wall of the hall, listening in.

School was for normal people, and I was well aware I was anything but.

"Speedy, she needs to at least get a GED, and besides, I think she's more than capable of escaping any sort of life or death situation. FRIDAY literally can't find her half of the time," Tony argued, keeping his voice level.

"We helped you both get your GEDs, let her experience school, let her experience being a normal girl her age. From what I've seen, she's not very social with others, I think this would help her with that tremendously. School offers more than just education, it's also a great place for children to learn how to socialize and interact with others," Bruce stepped in.

"We can try to get her caught up so that she can get back in the game after Christmas, that would give us two and a half months to get that all figured out and she could jump in for the last half of sixth grade," Tony said.

I heard a heavy sigh from Pietro, he wasn't seriously going to give into this right?

"I do not like it... I do not want her to get hurt," Pietro said after a few moments of silence.

"Think on it, but we're going to start trying to get her caught up education-wise, she needs to be able to read and write, do math, learn how the world goes 'round, all that fun stuff," Tony told him.

"She knows how to read, but we could not afford the materials to teach her how to write," Wanda informed them.

"Well, then we're off to a great start," Bruce told her softly.
