MEETING TONY

Eight months later, Starfold building, Training room.

Hovering in the air sat a crossed legged boy, his face peaceful while entranced in his meditation, countless golden sigils and ancient runes orbited his being, as gentle flaps were heard from his avian wings.

This was Lucifer as he was going through his most recent morning routine, courtesy of months of training and his most recent birthday, which finally allowed him a notable usage of his powers, namely those on the more mystical side.

Suddenly in a lightly dark corner of the training room a shadow emerged, rapidly taking on the aspect of what could pass for a child of 7-8 years old, with golden hair, effeminate face and emerald green eyes, not unlike those possessed by the avian wonder boy. While it begins to walk in Lucifer's direction.

"You've returned" Snapping his eyes open, the Lucifer who was hoovering says, as the sigils and flames dim, leaving only his white wings retracted onto his back.

"Yes. Parker is yet to be born, however I did find his parents, the work for S.H.I.E.L.D. No mention of Professor X till the moment, the fantastic four, nor the savage lands, yet. The records on a Carol Danvers have been erased and all attempts to be more thorough has led to an immediate response from a S.H.I.E.L.D team, as expected. Captain America is still reported as missing in action, after his heroic sacrifice back in march 1945, after crashing the Valkyrie. Black Widow is in a mission, alongside agent Barton in Budapest and Tony…well tony is in the building in front." Says shadow Lucifer, in a detailed manner.

"What about the search for space anomalies and the exploring of those ancient structures?" Lucifer asks Lucifer.

"See for yourself" Says the shadow as it merges into Lucifer's body, while giving of a blinding bright glow that condenses into a feather on Lucifer's right wing.

Closing his eyes once more, Lucifer goes through his copies memories, experiencing all of the events as though he was there himself.

Finally opening his eyes, he once more stares at the corner, while ordering "Keep your eyes on those old bastards, make sure you get the best pictures and videos. Remember to keep gathering information, go to hell's kitchen and blend in, if there is something going on I want to be the first to know. Also, don't forget to continue your search on the pyramids and the other sites, the sooner we find it, the earlier we can get the stones"

As though acknowledging a rustle is heard as a figure disappears in the shadows.

While Lucifer once more takes up his meditation and diverse sigils appear once more, this time producing diverse effects, like bending space, energy discharges and gravitational phenomena.

A couple hours later in the dining room of the Starfold building, Elizabeth and Lucifer dined.

"Young master, are you really sure about that man, Logan training you, if you would like I could get another…"Sounded Elizabeth's voice

"No need Elizabeth, the man is one of the most capable in the world, to teach me something, besides, it would be a pity to let him go after all this months" I say without lifting my head from my meal.

That's right, James Howlet, Logan or his more known Wolverine was my second teacher. I forced an introduction via my copies, a couple of weeks after my birthday, to have a justified reason to get to know him and more importantly train under him. Getting him to accept was the easy part however, a bit of money, some beer, a little of my natural charm and we were acceptable buddies in no time.

I had to get a second teacher after completing my training under master Stick a couple month's back, with nothing more to teach me, he had to unfortunately leave, though he did promise to come by every now and then to check in on me.

So I naturally needed someone to further myself in the martial way, as well as a few other abilities, while also being incredibly efficient, after all, no half assed training would cut it after training with Stick. Hence Logan was the natural choice. The man has fought nearly all his life, in practically all battlefields across the world, possessing extensive training as a soldier, CIA operative and samurai. He has mastered nearly every martial art there is to learn on this green earth, while also picking up on marksmanship, swordsmanship, survival tactics, acrobatics and advance covert Ops training, which includes but is not limited to weapons training, assassination techniques, infiltration techniques, escapology and a license in the art of demolition, aka playing with explosives. Let's not to mention the fact that training with him was like living at the tip of a blade, which was the perfect moment to hone the ability to work under pressure, as well as a killers instinct, after all the guy can really die easily.

"But master I feel he is not really appropriate, especially not when it is to train a child, I fell…" She says with concern this time, but I cut her off.

"Please trust me on this Elizabeth" I say in a warm tone, while enveloping her hand with mine.

Blushing a bit, Elizabeth grows silent, seemingly enjoying the touch while she loses herself in only god know what.

As weird as it may seem, she has most certainly began to develop complex emotions for 6 year and a half year old me, after all the teasing an "playing" I have subjected her to, yet does not dare to think about it too much, for fear of crossing a dangerous line.

'Kuh kuh kuh, just wait a bit Elizabeth, I will undoubtedly conquer you completely' I can hear my evil thoughts surging threw.

"Fine but I still feel you should at least go back to school, also…" Hastily changing the subject, as she comes back from her daydream, she says as she lets my hand go.

"Not this again, I already said I would only go back to school when I get to high school. Elementary school just can't serve to teach me anything" I respond in an exasperated manner. Though it may sound a bit arrogant, I had actually already spent a week, a couple of months back, in one of those rich schools for second generations. Long story short, the school had nothing to offer and the brats where every bit a snob as I had imagined. It didn't take for me to apply for early graduation, after blowing through all the material required.

"I much rather spend the time training and spending time with you, you do enjoy that, don't you?" I tease while I once more grab her hand.

"Yes but master, let me tell you about…" Say the flustered Elizabeth, before being cut off again.

"I mean, I only train to look after you, you know?" I say while I draw my face closer to hers

"Yes, I mean, master, but there is this thing…"

"Or is it you don't enjoy our time together?" Drawing even closer, I tease again.

"Yes but master, I have to tell…" A slightly dazed Elizabeth tries to say

"Don't you?" Almost right in front of her face I ask.

*DING*

Suddenly the elevator dings, causing a dazed, seemingly spellbound Elizabeth, to quickly escape my grasp, while leaving me to only mentally curse whoever the hell dared to interrupt my moment.

As the elevator opens I'm able to spot where three figures. One, a young handsome man, in an expensive looking gray suit, with raven hair and same colored eyes, sporting an iconic beard and sunglasses, while on his hands a glass of wine could be seen. The other a tall well-built man in a black and white suit, the most notable thing on him, where the flower basket in his hands and the dreadlocks that adorned his head. Finally a ginger headed beauty in a form fitting secretary outfit, I couldn't help but stare at her toned legs, wrapped in black stockings which only served to elevate the importance of those legs in my mind.

*Cough*

A cough sounds right at my side, as I look up to stare at a slightly irked Elizabeth who proceeds to say "Young master, it was as I was trying to tell you, today you were going to have some rather especial guests, coming to visit" Says Elizabeth in a professional tone, reserved only for such occasions. Waving her palm in the direction of the elevator she proceeds to introduce "This are mister Stark, a long friend of your family, miss Potts, the secretary of mister Stark and mister Hogan, mister stark's bodyguard"

"Yes, it is a pleasure to see you again Elizabeth, as is meeting you mister Starfold" Says Pepper while she approaches and gives her hand in greeting.

"No the pleasure is mine miss Potts and please call me Lucifer, I'm only a boy right now, not yet the head of the group" I curtly respond, taking small glances at those legs as I do.

"Oh, I will be sure to do so then Lucifer, then call me Pepper too" Says the impressed Pepper.

'You aren't seen nothing yet!' I think while outwardly displaying only a warm smile.

"Hi, where can I put these?" Is the Happy's greeting, as he points to the flowers.

"Welcome. Just put those wherever, I will tend to them latter." Responds Elizabeth.

"Welcome mister stark, it is nice seeing you again" Elizabeth speaks once more, this time a bit stiffer. Which causes me to narrow my eyes a bit.

"Ah, yes hello. Well aren't you something. Not seeing you for a bit and look how pretty you got. What are you going to do later?" Says Tony in his characteristic rapid fire, after he lifts his head from his phone.

*Ahem*

I cough a bit to get his attention and say, while extending my hand to greet him. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you mister Stark, I have heard a lot about you"
