I said as I finished getting into my tuxedo." Find the scroll, return here, go back to party before anyone notices." I sigh." I miss being a tenkai." I said with sadness as I activated my disguise that nocturnal gave me, and accent turned Russian." The sooner this is done, the better." --a couple minutes later-- I made my way to the elevator, as I got in I heard someone shouting." Hold the elevator." the voice said as stopped the door from closing." Thanks." "Your welcome." I said as the door closed." Headin some where?" "The anime convection across the street." She said." I'm Katlyen." "Aaron.' "I have a friend named Aaron." she said." He's dating one of my other friends, the other two took easily." "Other two?" I asked now interested int his conversation." What are their names?" "Laruance and garroth." she said. My face paled." you ok?" "Im fine." I said." it's just your friends names sound familiar." "Alright then." she said as the elevator stopped on the ground floor." Where are you going dressed so nicely?" "I was invited by tony stark to his party tonight." I said adjusting my bow tie." Maybe afterwards I'll see at the convection tomorrow.' "Maybe." she said with a shrug." See ya later." "Possibly." I said as a limo pulled up. --avengers tower-- "Welcome." Captain America said as I walked in." you must be coulson's friend." "I am cap." I said shaking his hand."names Aaron stone." "nice to meet you." He said with a smile." Anyone you know here?" "The rianbooms." I said pointing to the other side of the room, where the rianbooms where talking with others." met me one the way here." "They came with the tenkais." he said." A team in crown city." "So I've heard." I said crossing my arms." It was an honor to meet you cap, but I'm want to look around." "Likewise." he said putting his hand on my shoulder." enjoy the party.' "I will." I said as I walked away." time to see which avengers are here." I started looking around keeping track of who was here." War machine, iron man, and the hulk." I said finishing on seeing who was there." about very avenger, great." "Hey Aaron." Vinyl said walking up with ryker." Good to see you again." "Oh hey." I said." Quite a party, no?" "Sure is." ryker said with a laugh." Enjoying it?" "Of course." I said grabbing a drink of punch. "Hey vinyl, I wnat to talk to Aaron alone for a moment, alright?" ryker siad to vinyl, who nodded in response and walked off." I thought you were dead?" I nearly spit out my drink." W.w.what ever do you mean?" I said." I just met you yesterday." "Nights." he said with a serious tone." I know it's you." "Took you long enough." I said using my normal accent." Did midnight tell you or did you figure it out on your own?" "I figured it out." He said, then sighing." Why are you really here?" "Stark as a elder scroll." I said, as ryker eyes got big as pie plates." And I'm here to steal it." "So your the nightingale?" ryker asked. I nod." Steal anything yet?" "I'm just looking for the scrolls." I said as set my cup down." I don't need to steal anything else." "We may try to stop you." ryker said." and the avengers are here too, how are you going to do it?" "The shadows." I said walking away."I'm an nightingale for a reason." "What was that about?" vinyl asked as she walked up." is everything ok?" "everything is fine." Ryker said is a assuring voice." Just had to ask Aaron some questions." "Well since your done." vinyl pulling ryker by his arm." Let's dance." --Bar-- "So I dropped the tank and said, looking for this." rhodey( war machine) said causing a few to laugh, but not me." gets them every time." "Not all people." I said drinking from my water." I'm not much of the gun using type." "So what do you prefer." hawkeye said sitting in the stool next to me." Sword?" "Bow and sword." I said." Quiter and lighter, and not as bulky." "Agreed." hawkeye said patting me on the back." If you ever want I can teach you a few things. What's your name by the way?" "Aaron stone." I said looking At the time." 9:30, time sure flies by when your having fun." "Same." rhodey said." I've got to go, seeya." "What are you doing after the party Aaron?" hawkeye asked. "There's a convention across the street form my hotel that I'm going to tomorrow." I said getting up." I wnat to talk to some people before I go, nice meeting ya." "Likewise." hawkeye said as I walked of, towards the door leading to the lab. "Time to walk in the shadows." I said as my armor formed on my body as I stepped behind a pillar, then teleporting behind the door." Now where is it?" I made my way to the central part of the lab, looking in draws and papers seeing if I could find any clues on where stark had the scroll. "Who are you?" a voice said from behind me. "I am the nightingale." I said turning around only to see a robot." Who are you?" "I am the vision." the robot said." now, nightingale, why are you here?" "I'm looking Something." I said putting my hand on my sword." An elder scroll." "You mean this." vision said holding up the scroll." Why did you want it? To sell?" "Not to sell." I said, getting ready to make my move." But to keep out of the wrong hands." "Tony stark has been keeping it safe here." vision said putting the scroll back in a case of some kind." Now leave before I call for the avengers." "Not gonna happen." I said teleporting behind vision and stabbing him, causing him to fall to the ground." Be glad your not dead." I said taking the scroll out of the case then teleporting to my hotel room. --twenty minutes later-- After I teleported back from my room, I decided to teleport into the bathroom so no one would suspect I stole the scroll, thankfully no one was in their. After I left the bathroom in my tux, I noticed that the only ones left was the avengers, rainbooms, and my old team. "Oh hey Aaron." Cap said as I walked up." we thought you left.' "I was in the bathroom." I said sitting in one of the chairs." If I'm supposed to leave, I can." "It's fine." stark said raing a drink." We were just getting to knwo each other." "Octavia, I'm sorry for what happens to your friend nights." thor said sadly." I can't imagine what's it would be like if I lost Jane." "They were more then just friends." max said." they were in love." "That's even worst." hawkeye said." So how did you know nights max?" "He was my brother." max said." when I was staying at the shield base, they never told him I was there. So, when ryker told him, nights was happy at first, but when eh realized that shield didn't tell him. You know the rest." "So he died trying to defeat Dagon." Balck widow said." but it didn't work?" "it didn't." Ryker said." when his body was taken over by dagon, he thought if he died Dagon would die too." "So thanks to midnight, and the nightingale Dagon is somewhere back in oblivion." Trixie said laying her head on max's shoulder." How late is it?" "About 10:00." I said looking at my watch." I should get going, and sorry about your friend." "Thanks Aaron." max said." See at the anime convention tomorrow?" "Count on it." I said with a wave." See you there."
