ALL THOSE IMPERFECTIONS
CHAPTER :1
"Talk to me, Rogers!" she shouted into her helmet.
One of those metallic robots came onto her, which she easily knocked off easily and went near the 'mother ship' to scan for any trace of Dr. Doom. There was no response from the captain's side. There was just a lot of metal breaking sounds and the sound of heavy panting. Well, not that kind of panting but still panting!
"Hey J, you got anything?"
"Ma'am, there seems to a trace of Dr. Doom but I could be wrong."
"What do you mean 'could be wrong?' Jarvis, you're supposed to be the best A.I the world has ever seen!"
She cut through almost impossible-to-break metal and jumped into the ship. And as clearly stated by Jarvis, it was just a robot disguised as Doom, which she took care of easily. Suddenly, an engine went off and the ship started descending from a 100 feet.
"Uh, Jarv, download all the information as fast as you can! Thor, you hear me? I need you to blast this ship off far away from civilian area...but after I come out of course."
"Consider it done, Lady Stark" replied Thor with a booming voice.
She flew out of the ship swiftly and crashed into a gigantic robot. Oh great! She thought to herself as she flew through it, blasting away all of its circuitry. She noted that the 'mother ship' flew a few thousand meters away. "Good job Thor." And then she went to find the captain, dodging buildings and enemy bots on the way.
"Captain! Rogers, come in!"
"Stark..." came a heavy voice, "stop screaming in my head. I am busy and I'm fine. I'm good!"
"You don't sound so good and you definitely don't look good!" She said landing besides him, blasting at the bots, "You're bleeding!"
"I'll heal." he said exasperated while plucking his shield from out of a robot.
"You should've worn my suit, see, even the glove magnet doesn't work properly in this god forsaken suit!"
"Hey, hey! Save it! We got what we needed and we're heading to the Tower. Finish it up soon and meet us there." boomed Romanoff's voice.
"Oh come on, how d'you expect us end it soon when you've got Jolly Green there with you!?"
The red headed spy sounded like she was about say something before Barton cut in,
"Guys, there is the bot that is controlling the others, I think. If we take that down, the others will fall maybe."
"Then, take it down, Clint." ordered the Captain, still throwing his shield at attacking bots. Thor was tearing things up kind of like a mini-hulk while the Iron Woman was just running out of time with an urgent need to urinate.
"But how? It's in a building next to me!"
"My friend, you have a bow and arrow, I am sure you can manage that." came Thor's amused voice.
"See, even Thor got sarcastic." said she, annoyed.
"Yeah, yeah, alright..." came from Hawkeye as he blew up the control centre of the bots. All the other robots fell down with Rogers paused in mid attack stance and the mjolnir flying in empty space. It was comical to look at.
"Hey! Clint Barton saved the day!" piped up Clint with a happy voice, climbing down from the building.
"Oh good! Excuse me, gentlemen." Stark excused herself and rushed into the nearest store.
"Where are you going Toni?" Rogers asked.
"Restroom!" and she came back after a nice 5 minutes with a relieved look.
Banner was the first person they saw as they entered the living room in the Tower. The Avengers' Tower. It's their place and now over the years, it became their home. It's where they did everything from just hanging out watching TV to tending to each other's bloodied up face. The cold walls of this place has become warm, all because of this dysfunctional family, residing in it.
"What happened to the filtration system in your suit? Doesn't work or what?" Clint asked, the question he was really wanting to ask.
"Yeah, it was working fine...but Pepper thought it wasn't sexy and was unladylike to be peeing in my suit, so...you know my motto 'always listen to Pep", Toni mock sighed, "The women never understands the water crises!"
All the while Steve just rolled his eyes and Thor was utterly confused, so he just was there looking like a big eyed bunny.
As soon as Bruce saw them, he jumped up and went straight away apologizing to them,
"Sorry, sorry guys. I wasn't able to come help you. Really sor..."
"Aw, such a sweet boy, Brucie, apologizing to us, WHEN SHE WAS THE ONE WHO ABDUCTED YOU!" Toni threw, glaring at the red head. Natasha turned around and gave a sharp look,
"I didn't abduct him! What...? Why would I do that?"
"Guys...don't fight...just leave it" pleaded Bruce while the other three avengers just dropped on the couch tired.
"Oh I know what you're doing here missy. You've got the hots for my boy Bruce here. I'm not gonna let you succeed, I know all your tricks, mind you!"
Bruce was flustered at this but tried to bring peace. Well, they knew that it was all just in jest. What's family without some fights, eh?
"I don't got...nothing! Look, he is a big boy, he can take care of himself and he certainly wasn't being abducted. He came there with me of his own free will and because he is really talented in getting information from really advanced computer. Now would you please shut it and look at this thing!" Nat let out a huge breath and went and flopped down beside Steve while Toni just stood there tapping her foot.
"Um, Jarvis, could you bring up the information we've retrieved from Doom's computer?" Bruce asked.
"Certainly sir, but I believe that these particular information are not of Dr. Doom's." came the reply while all of the files opened in the 3-Dimensional Space around them.
"Not of Doom's? What does that mean, J?" Toni asked with confusion.
"Ma'am, I think the owner is called Henry Hank Pym."
"Hank? What's his business in a cave?" Clint questioned.
"No, it wasn't a cave like we all thought. It was actually an underground secret facility of some sort...a lab, I suppose." the Widow answered.
Toni went near the display and opened a file that seemed important. It was about some Project:Utron. As they read through it, they found that it contained details on the creation of a sentient robot. A footage opened up at the side, showing the impulses of a human brain.
"Whose brain could that be?" asked Rogers.
"Might be anybody's but I think that it could be Hank's since, you know, this is his work and all." Toni replied.
"I do not know what to make of this. Could this pose any threat to us?" Thor queried.
"It may or may not. What I feel is that, it might be helpful since it is based on Hank Pym's brain patterns. He is friend, right?" Bruce shrugged.
There was a moment of silence in the room. And then Nat suggested that they should give this to SHIELD but Toni refused.
"No, Fury will just march in and arrest Pym blindly. We can't do that. Come on, his marriage is already crumbling, we cannot put this too on top his head!"
"Ma'am, I apologize for interrupting but is attempting to contact you. Shall I grant him access?"
"Yeah, okay." saying that Toni waved her hands to clear off all of Hank's files.
"Natasha Antonia Stark! What the hell have you been doing? I've been trying to contact you for the past hour and your little A.I has not been putting me through. Now give the reports you collected."
Fury's furious face came up on the display. Toni winced at the mention of her full name but managed to answer with snark.
"Whoa, calm down, one eyed sky pirate! Jarvis wasn't putting you through because I told him to do so, probably when I was drunk or else why would I do that to you Nick! And I'll be sending them in a few minutes. You know, we were just celebrating our victory over maniacal bots, that's why we're late." she gave a smug smile.
"Were we celebrating?" Thor whispered. The Widow threw him a look." Of course not, Thor!"
"Yeah, and I want all your asses assembled when I send Coulson down there to debrief you people!" came Fury's loud voice.
"Okay and thanks by the way, for asking about us, we're fine. Just a few death blows but we'll survive." said the only person who isn't afraid to be sarcastic to Nick Fury.
"One day I'm gonna rip that starkasm right out of your mouth, Toni." And then his face vanished. Toni just lifted a shoulder in response and told Jarvis to upload the file from Doom's ship to SHIELD.
"What's in that?" Rogers questioned.
"Just about another Doom attack in a couple of weeks, a quite major one but not really. This should keep Fury's ass busy if he is as dumb as I think him to be."
"Yeah and the next time, we should just let The Fantastic Four to handle it. I mean, where are they now?" Clint asked perplexed.
"Hm, I guess, vacationing in the cosmos!" Toni said with mock delight.
"Oh speaking of the cosmos, I have to get to Asgard at the very latest." Thor said while preparing to call Heimdall. Seeing the question marks on all their faces, Thor replied that he had some unfinished business with his father that is, convincing his face to accept his choice in bride. Toni tried to argue that she had just bought a whole lot of pop tarts for him but he had to go. But he promised to return soon just for those pop tarts.
And whoosh! Thor was gone. He had a special place, the size of a helipad, just for his Asgard to Tower or Tower to Asgard transportation. It was just so because that man had no idea of the damage he was causing to the flooring.
Toni went down to her workshop to tinker with her suit and see how much damage it had taken while Steve came in with his sketching book, two cups of coffee and some sandwiches balanced beautifully in his strong, long, muscled arms. Steve didn't need to type in the pass code because he was the pass code. It has been like that for some 2 years. It hasn't been just Natasha Stark's Tower in a while.
The smell of coffee lured Toni away from whatever she was doing.
"Steeeveee!" she exclaimed grabbing her coffee from him. He just shook his head smiling at her caffeine addiction. He then pushed the sandwiches towards her and forced her to eat. They ate while talking about things that ought not to be meddled in but they meddled in anyways.
"So, what are trying to do, riling up Nat? Do you know something?" all of a sudden he asks.
"Well, it's obvious, isn't it? They both feel something for each other. But Bruce is really good at hiding it, but you know, it's me, I can see through everything. And the trained assassin spy is pretty weak at these things; it's just evident on her face whenever she sees Bruce."
"And you're trying to make her jealous or something?"
"No, not jealous. I'm just trying to make her admit, make them both admit...to themselves and to each other."
"Hmm..." he breathed thinking about it.
"Wait a minute there, am I sensing a trace of jealousy in The Captain America?!"
"No. I'm not jealous, please. Don't consider yourself that important."
"Uhuh! Not important now, am I?"
They laughed looking at each other. "How d'you know this is gonna work?" he asks. She gave a warm smile while replying, "Worked well for me."
Something clicked in her mind and her eyes filled with concern, "How is your wound? Is it healed?"
"Well, would've been better if a particular someone had paid some attention to it. But no, that someone had to go and fight to get her science buddy back." He said patting his almost healed abdomen.
"Oh really! You were the one who said 'I'll heal' remember?" she gesticulated. He gave her his crooked smile that always seemed to catch her off guard. She took a deep breath and turned her head away.
"You know what? You're a distraction, Rogers! I can't get any work done if you're here. Go away." She with a frustrated tone, waving her hand at him.
"Come here." came from him softly, with an underlying tone mischief. She slightly turned her head to peek at him, only to see him biting his fuller bottom lip. And that was it for her. 'There is no way he is not doing this on purpose.' She thought.
"Steve..." a breath came out as she curled her hands into fists to control herself but no, she couldn't. So, she gave up and started moving towards him to sit on his lap.
"You know, it's illegal! It is against the law for a grown man to be this adorable." She ran her hands in his hair while his hands wound themselves around her waist, their breaths mingling together.
"I'm gonna sue now. I'm gonna you sue by kissing you..." she said while catching her favorite bottom lip in between her lips.
Hey! I am new here and I love Stony. Also I think Earth 3490 is so cool! I know I'm pretty bad at writing but just had this idea and I just wanted to try. So please leave your love. Criticisms and remarks are welcome. Help me improve and if you want to suggest some cute Stoni scenes, please feel free to tell me. I am going to make this fic to be having flashbacks and also the present. Flashbacks will contain the evolution of their relationship. How they came to love and all. This fic will be based on the mixing of both the earth 616 comics' plot and some plot from the movies too. I know my summary sucks! But, well, that's all I got. Though mostly concentrated on Stoni, this fic will feature many other relationships too like Brutasha!...I know most of you won't like them but I love them so sorry!...
Bye for now. And I'm definitely looking forward to make some friends here.
Yours,
Aish.
