The Armory: Steel and Maiden
Chapter one: Rebirth part one.
Anthony "Tony" Edward Stark was a tall man with blue eyes. He was wearing blue jeans and a plane blue long sleeve t-shirt. Stark was currently with his girlfriend Virginia "Pepper" Potts a lovely red-head standing five foot four with green eyes, was wearing cut off shorts and a tang top. They two were in there shared armory in avenger's mansion working on some new armor.
Tony was thinking about his lovely girlfriend. The two went to the Tomorrow Academy together and competed for valedictorian spot since kindergarten and tied for the position. After High school they attended MIT together until the towers fell. Pepper continued at to study at MIT but Tony sighed up for the marines and fought in Afghanistan. During his three years of service Tony was awarded with three purple hearts, a silver cross, and two medals of Honor. Tony received his second Medal of Honor from Captain America himself. It was awarded for rescuing Professor Ho Yinsen from a weapons development lab. Ho saved Tony's life using a magnetic field implant to prevent three bullets from reaching his heart.
The two proceeded to build an iron armor together to escape as well as to destroy the lab. After he returned to New York Stark quietly suffered from PTSD. He finished getting his PhD in business and technology but fell into alcoholism. He would continue to tinker with his new armor as five years went by being a part-time superhero. He also bought up several experimental technologies to keep them out of the wrong hands.
Three years ago Pepper was hired by Tony's father to work with him on Project Mandroid, a shield sponsored program to give some shield agents armor similar to his iron man armor. Pepper well working with tony saw his problems but instead of ignoring it she help him get sober. A year later the two were almost killed by a hydra attack on stark tower.
The two only survived by using Extremism an experimental nanite solution virus to give humans super powers. The main power was super human healing, the second power tony had programmed himself, the ability to link his mind to computer systems and other tech to allow him to better control his armor. Before he could decide to use it he had a very bad heart attack from the three bullets still in his chest. Stark was not sure if he would be able to survive the process. The choice was taken out of his hands when he and Pepper were both injured in the attack. They survived by using two of the four samples of the virus to save themselves it worked and greatly increased their intelligence as a side effect.
To Tony's surprise Pepper had built herself her own armor. Together as Iron-Man and Rescue they took out the Hydra Cell that attacked stark tower. Two years ago Pepper discovered her husband was cheating on her. Tony helped her through her divorce and the two started dating a year later when Pepper's divorce was finalized. Recently the two spearheaded the Avengers, super human response division. The avengers were an international super human and mutant police agency.
The Avengers were also a part of shield led by Tony. They help local police departments deal with super human threats and train young super humans and mutants to use their powers. They created this as an alternative to the mutant registration act.
"Hey Pep could you come help me I can't figure out what's wrong with this circuit." Tony asks the Red head who stopped what she was doing and walked to Stark's was workbench.
Tony moves to the side as Pepper gets close to him. Looking at what Tony was working on she gasps. Sitting between the circuit connectors was a silver ring with a large purple gem.
"Will you marry me Virginia?" tony asks down on one knee.
"YES" pepper yells as she puts on the ring then gives him a very big deep kiss.
"What's it made from and I know the gem is not a diamond, what is it?" Pepper asked Tony.
"The band is True Adamantium and cost me half a billion to make. The gem is triple refined Vibranium in a large oval cut and it would have cost me another half a billion if T'challa did not give it to me as a gift for my three years of sobriety. I would have gladly paid for it but the man would not let me." Tony tells Pepper he as he takes her into his arms from behind.
Just as the two were going to kiss again a bright flash of light blinded them. When the light fades they see that a boy and girl had appeared in front of them. The boy was badly burned and missing his right arm and left leg which looked as if they had been burned off. Half of his brown hair was also burned off and his left eye was gone. But his right eye was blue and his skin was a dark tan. In his right hand was a sword stabbing the girl.
The girl was missing her right arm and left leg which looked like they had been cut off. Her right eye had a massive cut going through it and her long black hair was greatly disheveled. The saw that the girls left eye was light brown color.
"Pepper get the Extremis Injection System ready well I get someone to help me bring them to the storage room. We can ask them why they were fighting when they are healed." Tony tells his new fiancé.
Pepper runs to prepare the machine as Tony saw a short scruffy looking man in blue jeans with an old pair of snake-skin boots.
"Logan I need some help now." Logan could smell the anxiety rolling off Stark so he did not argue.
"Victor Stark needs help." Logan yells at his older half-brother in the next room.
Victor is a tall man with short blond hair and was built like a saber-tooth-tiger with k9 teeth to match, his hands we clawed.
"Coming runt." victor yells in a gruff voice.
The two arrive at the same time and they both grab one of the children on the floor.
"Follow me you two, thanks for coming Creed." Tony tells the blond man.
The two scruffy men fallow Tony into one of his vaults were the Extremis Injection System which Pepper had just finished prepping. They were using the same settings that gave both Tony and Pepper there techokinetic powers. The two children were quickly injected with the virus. Tony and Pepper were glad to see the flesh cocoons form. Well Tony and Pepper were glad it just freaked out the half-brothers.
"Don't worry that's supposed to happen. Now excuse me." Pepper said as she walked to a garbage can and throw up her lunch.
What those children did to each other was beyond horrible. What could cause the two to fight to the death like they did? If she would be able to she would give both sides of whatever war the two were in a piece of her mind, and a taste of her repulsers.
"I'm going to go get Natasha and Maria and we will sit with them. Tony tries to find out where they came from when I get back." Pepper tells the boys with an edge in her voice that said: I will remove your balls after I crush them in a vice if you don't do as I say.
Needless to say they stayed until Pepper returned with two very beautiful woman. One was another Red headed woman with green eyes in a black nano mesh armor with yellow pipe like bracer's, a yellow belt made up of multiple ovals and the belt buckle in the center had an hourglass. The other woman was of Hispanic dissent wearing a standard shied wing suit, she had short brown hair and brown eyes. (Think iron man armored adventure Maria hill.) Both women had bodies other woman would kill for and men drooled at.
"Now you three get to work finding out were these two came from." Pepper ordered the men in the room.
Now Victor Creed may be a former serial killer of woman, but even he knew not to fuck with a woman whose maternal instincts were running in the red. Tony and the others slowly back out of the room before they head to go check out the Armory.
"Logan, Victor, see what you two can sniff out, Jarvs see what you can find out look for all forms of residual, or decade energy you can pick up. I will collect blood samples for analyses." Tony tells the two and they all get to work.
Back in in the med bay
Pepper had put blankets over the two flesh pods.
"Why are you doing that for Potts?" Maria asks pepper.
"To preserve their dignity they will be naked when the pods hatch. Now I want to talk to you two. If we are able to get them back to their world I want you two to come with me in hulk buster assault class armor outfitted with heavy weapons so we can end whatever war the two were fighting in. Before you to answer let me show you something." Pepper tells the two as she walks to a computer and pulls up the security footage from the armory.
Maria and Natasha were both used to the horrors of war from battling hydra as members of shield but even Hydra never fielded child soldiers. Hydra may train children to be soldiers and killers but they did not let them fight until they were eighteen. The two woman ran and threw up in the trashcan.
"I do not know about you Widow but I will gladly help you Pepper." Maria tells Pepper.
"I'll bring a nice rusty vice with needles on it so we can crush the leader's balls slowly and painfully." The Black Widow throws in her support with peppers plan.
"Good now let's get some designs going for the hulk buster armors we will be building for us and watch over the kids too." Pepper tells her friends as they get to work.
They would not put the units into production until they knew they could go to the world the two kids came from.
Back with the men
Logan found a black jian sword that was only a few hits from shattering, Victor found a four point hair piece and the blood tests showed the two children's DNA was almost human. But the boy had three inactive x genes and the girl had two active ones.
"Sir the analysis is complete the energy signature of the dimensional portal that brought them here was magic based. I recommend calling in Dr. Strange to try to help with the investigation." Jarvs tells Tony.
"I'll give him a call now." Stark tells the brothers as he pulls out his cell phone.
"Hello Stephan its Tony the avengers need your help with a none-critical investigation. I would greatly appreciate it if you could gate here ASAP because it involves children used as soldiers. Ok see you..." before Tony could finish what he was saying the sorcerer supreme appears before the three men.
"Soon, hi doc." Stark tells the good doctor.
Doctor Stephen strange ware black Chinese style robes and was of Italian descent.
"I'll uses the Orb of Agamoto and the power of the Vishonti to show us what the two were doing before they appeared before you Tony. I will begin the spell now." strange tells the three men as he summons a crystal orb to him.
"By the power of the Vishonti and the Wisdom of the Lions of Arius show us what the children of war were doing to appears in this place, Tell us what realm they came from in the hopes we may send them home, show us now." the mighty sorcerer casts his spell as he made several complex jesters with his hands.
From the orb comes a magical screen.
"Toph, Aang go find the Fire Lord I will handle Azula." The blue-eyed boy tells a grey eyed bald kid in orange monk robs.
The boy had arcane arrow marks tattooed on his head, down his back and along his hands. (Think the Last Airbender movie tattoos since I feel that is what they would look like in real life the rest is cartoon stuff). The boy held a staff in his hands. Next to the boy in orange was a small girl with dull lifeless green eyes and black hair. She was dressed in Asian style armor.
"But Sokka…" Aang starts to protest before Sokka throws a steel boomerang at the ceiling causing it to collapse separating Sokka from the others. Sokka was dressed in some kind of blue hybrid Asian Viking plate armor that would fit right in Asgard and a plate helmet in the shape of a lion's head.
"Big mistake Sokka now you have no back up and there is only three minutes left until the eclipse is over." Azula tells newly reveled Sokka.
"Tell me where Suki is now." Sokka demands from Azula as he pins her closer to the wall putting his black blades tip first to her neck.
"Don't test my resolve Azula ether tell me or I will kill you." Sokka tells the newly revealed Azula.
Azula was wearing Chinese like breast-plate with shoulder pauldrons. She also had on pointed elf like metal boots and black arm bracers with red under shirt. From her arm left bracer a shrunken is released into her hand. Azula tries to stab Sokka with the small weapon but Sokka grabs her arm with his free hand pining it to the wall. From her right bracer a dagger shot out into her hand. Sokka had to dock to doge the dagger thrust to his throat letting the girl go. Azula releases a second dagger from her left bracer and starts to attack him with her blades.
The four men watched the screen in various states of discussed as the watched the two children try to kill each other. They watched the two remove limbs before some kind of reaction happened between the two. The reaction is what created the portal that sent them to this world.
To be continued.
