It's so easy to forget how young all of these characters are, especially at the beginning (in each universe). I just turned 21, myself, and the idea that these people are barely older than me - or, in some cases, younger than me - is kind of terrifying.
That said, I think this is awesome, and I especially like your Logan voice, and Storm's internal voice.
I'm turning twenty-three in two months myself, so it's really kind of mind boggling.
Logan was disgustingly easy to write - the easiest part of this whole thing, in fact. He's so stubborn, rude, and generally unhelpful.
Poor Storm, she's really the only sensible one on that team, I can't help but think that she must have been sent there essentially to babysit, since Adventures-verse Steve and Tony are so clearly about twenty-five.
This fic definitely made me go and download the rest of the Marvel Adventures Avengers series. (I'd only read the one with Ego the Date-Rape-y planet which, despite the amusing crack, bothered me a little.) I have a feeling I will enjoy its adorable fun.
(Also, now that my schoolwork is (mostly) done, I swear that beta-ing your next chapter is at the top of my agenda. I'm sorry I suck so much!)
Adventures-verse Avengers is definitely worth the read - it's pure fluff, but adorable. And there's a new issue out today!
I have to admit, I'm also looking forward to Adventures-verse Iron Man, though I do wonder how in the hell they plan to make Tony suitable and accessible for children under twelve, since he really never has been, even in the really old Tales of Suspense stuff.
We're eagerly awaiting the chance to begin posting fixit-fic, but trust me, we both totally understand how hectic school can be!

I'm wondering how they're going to make his "kidnapped by terrorists and forced to build WMD" backstory less scary/complicated. Maybe they'll just have him have been injured when something at Stark Industries exploded? That way they can keep the "almost killed by his own weapons" but leave out the Vietnam/Iraq/Afganistan/whereverthehellitwasnow part.
And, of course, if they're going to do the drinking problem bit--it's seriously key to the character, but not exactly G-rated.
The drinking problem's the part that I'm really not sure how they'll decide to handle - it's so vital to the character, but like you said, it's also so not 'g' rated. The other parts, I can think of ways around, but that's one of those aspects of Tony, like his abuse-victim tendencies, that don't really translate over well to kiddy-stuff.
Apparently he makes an appearence in Fallen Son - Captain America being emo and tortured, but actually reading my new copy of the comic would break my vow to not read a single issue of "Fallen Son" or re-read CA #25 until Steve is back, so I'll just have to take resolute's word on it.
She!Ultron continues to be gloriously naked, though. I laugh meanly in the face of other female comics fen and clutch my 22 pages of gratuitous superviallin nudity to my chest.
My personal favorite is the issue with the pyramid scheme snake-cult ("Now, remember, each of you is to let your genetically engineered snake bite and brainwash two victims, and then they will each bite/brainwash two victims, and eventually, snakes will take over the world!").
I liked the bit in the U-foes issue where Tony is sitting around in the bottom half of his armor and an undershirt, playing video games with Peter. He really is just a big kid in Avengers, with his love of his geek toys and making more of them.
