Summary
It was just another day in the office for Tony Stark, fighting evildoers and trying to save the world. Then one minute, he's flying through the sky, dodging missiles, and the next he's naked, lying in a forest in Maine, staring at two guys who have never heard of Tony Stark - or Iron Man. Nathan Wuornos and Duke Crocker are on a mission: to find their friend, Audrey Parker, the only person who can help them against the supernatural Troubles that plague the town of Haven. They stumble upon a naked man with a glowing object embedded in his chest, claiming to be a superhero. Now a man of science and a town that defies science are about to meet, and the search for answers gets even more complicated. Just another day in the office, actually. For Haven.
Notes
Written for the CrossBigBang challenge on LiveJournal.
A/N 1: I swear I had the idea for this fic long before I ever saw the trailer for The Avengers with the dialogue quoted after the Prologue. Spoilers for all of seasons 1 and 2 of Haven; written before season 3 aired, so completely off canon.
A/N 2: Please take a look at the art created by the lovely and talented satavaisa and leave her lots of love!
A/N 3: Special thanks to december21st, pygmymuse and cravenhawk from the Nathan_Audrey community on LJ for their suggestion of the one Trouble I sorta describe Tony facing. Your help was greatly appreciated!
A/N 4: I don't own Iron Man, Haven, or anything related to them. This is for entertainment purposes only; no infringement is intended.
Prologue
For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. - Ecclesiastes 3:1 (World English Bible)
The battle raged.
As always, Tony Stark - Iron Man - was in the middle of it all.
Missiles exploded within inches as he danced almost delicately through the air. He swooped, he swerved, he dodged, and tried to lead Dr. Doom's army of Hammerdrones into the Avengers' carefully planned trap.
He talked rapidly to his teammates, giving them his location and his ETA. Teammates? Hell, his friends - for all intents and purposes, new members of his family that had once only seemed to have room for him and Pepper, Rhodey and Happy. Now there was Bruce and Steve, Thor and Natasha and Clint - he even had a soft spot for Fury and Coulson.
A very small soft spot.
Now Tony was leading what was left of the Hammerdrones towards them, where they were attacking Dr. Doom's last stronghold, where Tony planned on using Dr. Doom's own weapons against him by driving them into the bunker where the supervillain was hiding, buried in the depths of the Maine countryside.
The coward.
At least Doom was only using drones and not people, Tony thought, twisting and dodging another three missiles and destroying another drone in the process.
"Sir, there's an anomaly manifesting up ahead," Jarvis said.
"A what? Where?"
"Here."
And the world went black for Tony Stark.
