Chapter 5
As they rode, the scenery changed from a rural landscape to a city one. There was a nostalgic gleam in Caroline's eyes as she took in the view. It was similar to where she had moved from, except for this was a lot bigger. Both Steve and Tony were surprised that both of the teens were quiet most of the trip.
Soon they were in the middle of the city. Peter turned to Caroline, who was sitting next to him.
"Have you ever been here before?" He asked. Caroline turned to him.
"No. Have you?"
"No."
A few minutes later, the car came to a stop.
"Oh, yeah, kids," Tony said as he put the car in park. "Welcome to New York City!"
"NEW YORK CITY?!" Both teens shouted simultaneously. Peter then noticed the huge building they were parked in front of.
"What's that place?" he asked, pointing out the window.
"That, my son, is Stark Tower, or Avengers Tower, depending on who you ask."
"W-wait! Is that your tower?" Peter's eyes grew wide.
"Yep." Tony smirked. Caroline stared in amazement at the ginormous tower through her window.
"Cool!" was all Peter could manage to say.
"Are we just going to sit here, or are we going to go in?" Steve asked.
Once everyone had gotten out of the car, they went inside. The first room was extremely large. There were chairs, a few tables, some tvs (all of which were set on news channels), and a big dark grey and silver desk, which was placed next to two large doors. They walked towards the doors.
"Hey, Veronica." Tony said as he approached the desk. The lady at the desk lifted her head. Her mousy brown hair was tucked neatly into a bun.
"Good evening, Mr. Stark," Veronica smiled and turned towards the rest of the group behind him. "Mr. Rogers." she nodded in acknowledgement, "And who might these two cuties be?" Peter grimaced at the word "cuties", but Caroline just blushed a bit at the compliment and got really shy-like.
"This is my son, Peter." Tony said, ruffling Peter's hair. Peter smoothed his hair back out.
"Oh, I've heard a lot about you. Your dad brags about how smart you are all the time." Veronica smiled. She turned to Caroline. "And what might your name be, sweetie?"
"Caroline." said Caroline said with a small smile.
"That's a pretty name! Is Mr. Rogers your dad?" Veronica said motioning to Steve.
"Yes, ma'am." Caroline smiled.
"You have his smile. And his manners." Everyone laughed at Veronica's words. "Well, I hope you enjoy your visit at Stark Towers." They bid farewell to Veronica and exited through the large doors.
