A new story that has teenager Tony Stark and just some shit that goes down. Also, it's a different Au
Have fun reading kids and don't worry I'll still continue my other story.
To be fair it wasn't that no one saw this coming but it's the fact that no one understood what was happening, so the Avengers had gotten word that there were some…complications at a S.H.E.I.L.D base all the way in Australia. At first, it was supposed to be an easy mission, take out a couple of flying robots that went out of control and maybe stay a couple of days to help fix it. Of course, it wasn't simple, the base was so,e sort of chemical research and supernatural containment base which means that all the super-powered crazy people were housed there. Not to mention the robots…so many fucking robots.
"So is anyone going to explain what the hell is happening here?" Clint asked as he dove out of the way of some sort of laser, he shot at it and went to try and grab some sort of electrical arrow to knock out another flying bot. "Careful Barton, you know Capsicle over there hates that sort of language." Tony answered back with a chuckle "really? That was literally last month guys. Let it go." Steve said with a sigh as he smacked a bot with his shield, there were only a handful of robots to take care of but since this was a chemical base they needed to make sure that nothing hit anything that was labeled toxic. Sadly that was the entire damn building so it was taking the group of superheroes a lot longer than they had planned, "I want to swim in the coral reef sometime this century so if you robots could stop and be good little helpers again that would be very much appreciated." Tony mumbled as he shot at one of the bots about to shoot at Thor, the god of thunder smiled at him and continued to fight. After what seemed like a couple of minutes ( it was 10 but hey no one would know) the bots were defeated and the scientists come out of their hiding spots to start working on cleaning and fixing up the base.
"Thank you all so much for the help." Steve smiled at the head scientist who was walking up to him. She was in a long white lab coat with large black rubber gloves and goggles around her neck, but she had an uneasy face as she looked around the floor. "No problem ma`am, I'm just glad everyone made it one piece. Though I have to ask, what explain triggered this attack? I thought you guys already had everything under control from when you first set up base." The Doctor, who Steve could now place a name to from looking at his name tag, Doctor Marie gave a sigh. She looked at ease for the moment. "I honestly don't know. Ever since we made that compound-" "you mean this compound?" The doctor and American icon whipped their heads to where Tony was standing out of his suit, in another scientists hand right by him was a gold and purple looking liquid. "What exactly is this? I know for a fact you did not use any elements on the periodic table to make this." Her nervous look was back "that's classified information. All I know if that the director wanted me to create something using the poisons from this." She walked up to Tony and gently pushed him out of the way much to Tony's annoyance but he kept his mouth shut for he wanted to know exactly what she was talking about. "This is a mixture of some sort of weird poison and another unearthly compound. We don't even know what it's made of." "Well let us take it off your hands." Dr. Marie turned to glare at Stark "with all due respect you don't have the clearance to even be looking at this." "With all due respect you just got schooled by your own tech because you don't even know what that thing is. At least I have better containment centers for something so dangerous. Besides, I have a total of 7 PH.D's in like every field of science except medical. I think I am more than qualified to work with this." His tone left no room for argument and the woman sighed "fine. You take it. It was disturbing my people anyways." With that being said she walked off and Tony climbed back into his suit and stored both liquid substances in different sections of it. "You know you just made another enemy in a business already skeptical of you right?" Tony shrugged at Steve "she knows I'm right. That's why people hate me, they know I'm always right." The armoured Avenger walked away and headed for the Quinjet where the rest of the team was waiting for the other two. "About time you two." Steve rolled his eyes at Natasha "let's just get back to the tower. Tony has a new toy he wants to play with and I don't think I want him to start playing with it until he's in his lab." The spy nodded and started to fly them back to New York.
As soon as they got back Tony made a beeline to his lab where Bruce sat waiting "Bruce I have a gift or two." Reaching into some of his suit compartments he grabbed the two liquid concoctions and placed them on his desk and started to make more room. "What is it?" Bruce asked as he started to help Tony clear everything off the desk so they had more room to work "that's the thing. Even the scientist that Fury had working on this stuff didn't even know what it is and I'm willing to bet that the bastard was going to use it to create weapons." Bruce nodded and started getting out test tubes "you don't know that for sure Tony. Maybe he wanted to find a cure." "Sure, remember the tesseract situation? I don't want this to be some zombie formula that takes out the entire population of Manhattan." Bruce just hummed and the two worked in comfortable silence.
After working all day and well into the night Bruce decided to call it a quits and go to sleep but Tony stayed awake and continued working on it. He was able to figure out what the poison was, it was the Goblin gas that Peter had told him about after one of his more than rough missions (he had gotten Tony to act more like a dad than he thought was possible) and some sort of weird substance that Tony couldn't quite figure out yet, but he was close. By the time he decided to take a break, it was time for breakfast. "I didn't think I stayed up that late…" The Avenger strolled into the elevator "JARVIS could you take me to breakfast please?" "As long as you don't consider coffee a valuable source of nutrition then of course." The AI responded almost sounding sarcastic and amused which made Tony grumble something along the lines of 'who built you again asshole?' As soon as he arrived at the Avengers common floor everyone was already seated and enjoying what looks to be Steve's famous waffles. Even Peter showed up. "Hi, Mr. Stark!" Tony waved to the kid before high tailing it to the coffee machine, or at least he was until a certain WW2 soldier sat in front of him and blocked the heaven on Earth called caffeine. "Come on Cap I need that stuff to keep functioning." "N,o you need to sleep." He whirled around and saw Pepper standing there with a small smile on her face "oh morning Miss. Potts. For what do I owe the pleasure?" The woman just sighed " I came here to tell you that you had a meeting in an hour about the new project the government assigned you to and another meeting about a new system that the council wanted to try to add in. Though considering that you're trying to run on coffee I'm going to take your place at these meetings. You get some sleep." She left the room before Tony could argue against her, sighing he went to go get coffee but ended hitting a certain soldier right in his chest- his very firm chest. "Tony you heard Pepper, you need sleep." Tony just sighed and turned around heading to his room. "Fine but don't wake me up unless it's the end of the world." The made Clint smirk "or unless the spider kid over here gets hurt." Tony flicked him off as he walked away and Peter blushed and pushed the skilled archer off his stool.
"Sir you are needed in the lab." Tony rolled over and tangled himself deeper into his sheets "no. I'm sleeping." If the AI had a physical body then he would have probably facepalmed "sir you are needed in the lab, I do believe it has something to do with the experiment you brought in the day before yesterday." Tony groaned and begrudgingly got out of bed and left his room " what's exactly going on down there?" "That seems to be the problem, sir, I'm not quite sure. Mr. Banner said it was quite urgent." By the time JARVIS was done speaking he was already in the lab and couldn't decide whether he should turn around and go back to bed or…just turn around and go back to bed.
The lab itself was fine but Bruce was unconscious, the man was slumped in his seat and had the liquid concoction in front of him as well as what looked to like notes, sighing to himself as well as mumbling he took the liquid away from the doctor but he didn't see his foot in the middle of the walkway. Tony landed with a huff and winced as he noticed he fell right on the weird gold and purple liquid, there was glass on him as well but that was the least of his concerns…some weird gold purple shit was on him and looked to be quickly disappearing into his skin until there wasn't a single drop of it left. Tony looked at his hands and scrambled to get up and instantly felt dizzy, groaning Tony made it to the door and elevator to get to his floor. "Sir are you alright? Your body temperature has reached 100 degrees. Would you like me to call for help?" Tony didn't respond, the dizziness had gotten worse and he felt like his insides were on fire. He couldn't help but let out a loud bloodcurdling scream and allow all light to fade from him.
"Master Stark seems to be in danger." This was not how they planned their morning, everyone was enjoying their very rare off day. The only one who had to go somewhere was Peter because of school but everyone else was just relaxing…the keyword was. "What do you mean JARVIS? What happened to Tony." The AI seemed to be processing or something because it took a moment for him to respond "he has a fever that has seemed to stop at 100.4 degrees but he has remained unconscious for the past 10 minutes." Steve stood from his seat "where is he?" When he had asked the elevator opened and there lied Tony in an unconscious heap on the ground. "Tony!" Steve and Natasha were the first ones by his side while Thor and Clint were worrying from a distance, true both men had seen Tony hurt and they even heard the man cry once when he thought he was alone with Peter when the kid was in the medical bay…but neither has ever seen him like this.
His face was tight with pain and they could see the sweat drip down his face "Tin head can you hear me? Tony?" Clint tapped his face lightly trying to get him to open his eyes but instead of the intended reaction, Tony screamed. "No! It…it burns…it burns too much." Natasha kneeled beside him "where does it burn?" Finally Tony opened his eyes and the usually static faced spy's jaw dropped and a look of utter concern and fear crossed her face. "Dad?" Everyone froze, Tony never talked about his father unless he was insulting him in some way… "Tony, I need you to keep your eyes open okay?" Tony just stared at her "dad…" then he was out like a light. Natasha looked towards Steve then back down at Tony "what do we do?" Steve bent down to pick up his teammate and carried him to his room before walking back out into the commons where everyone else had stayed, even Bruce shown up. "Where were you?" Clint asked with a bit of anger coloring his tone, "I had pulled a Tony and fell asleep in the lab. What happened during my nap?" Thor sighed "the son of Stark seems to have fallen ill, though we do not know what had caused it. He was fine the day before, did something happen in the labs that he did not share with us?" It wasn't a far stretch, Tony had a habit of sharing the most important information at the last minute. "I guess we'll have to wait till he wakes up to ask him," Bruce said while looking at the others. "You guys are all idiots you know that right?" Everyone looked Natasha with a face that said 'what do you mean we're idiots?' Natasha looked more like her self now that her moment with Tony had passed, she looked like her unamused self again. "JARVIS do you have any video recordings of what happened in the labs before Tony came upstairs?" "Yes, I do Miss. Romanov." The AI answered as a screen appeared in the middle of the room. They watched as the inventor grabbed the liquid mix and Clint snorted a little when they saw Tony fall but the archer's face twisted into concern as the AI showed them a video of Tony coming up from the lab.
"Oh my god." The team turned to look at Bruce "what is it?" Bruce walked closer to the screen "I think that liquid crap spilled on Tony and that's what made him sick." Steve stepped towards the doctor "is there a cure?" Bruce let out a humorless chuckle "a cure? We don't even know what that stuff is? We figured out only half of it." Steve let out an almost silent curse "we should tell Fury about this." Bruce whipped his neck to look at Black Widow "no! Absolutely not." "Why they could help." "Or they could make it worse, think about it Nat. If we hand over Tony to Fury in order to find out what happened to him then he'll become a lab experiment. We both know how well those always turn out." They must have been in two conversations at once because usually, it would take more than just that to convince Natasha, one of the most loyal S.H.E.I.L.D agents, not to tell Fury something this big. "Alright fine, but what do we do now?" Bruce sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose "for now we wait. Hopefully, we're overreacting."
