„Yes, as a matter a fact it is." Dean said with a sad look in his eyes.
„Built date April 24th, engine V8 327 4 Barrel with 3 speeds and Chevrolet company made about 400 of them. See, I can get you a car that's worth a million of yours for free." Tony recitated and showed his knowledge about cars and he really wanted to give them one of his cars.
„No thanks." Dean said with no hussle „But you said you can fix it."
„Wow, you're really persistent. Are you in hurry?"
„We thought we are, but it ended up quite the opposite." Sam said as he remembered why are they in LA.
„You see, I kinda am. In a huge hurry. It's kinda related with what has happened last year in New York."
„Yeah, alien invasion. But you crashed my baby. You're gonna fix it." Dean got into Tony's face but Sam holded him.
„Oh God." Tony struggled and thought for a bit „You look like two decent men. Let's do it this way then. You guys stay at my place in Malibu untill I finish my job, and then I fix your car and you happily go home." He said with a sparkle in his eyes „You can eat and drink all what you want and Jarvis will let you know where can you go and where you can't." Tony just couldn't wait to get rid of them.
Sam and Dean exchanged looks as they were seriously interested in this proposition. Both of them knew they had some free time since their case didn't work out. Tony Stark was also the best person who could ever destroy their car since they knew he is a normal person. Most of the time.
„What's a 'Jarvis'?" Dean asked as Tony curiously looked at him.
„It's a deal." Sam stated.
„Great, I'm just gonna call my friend Hogan and he'll pick us up."
Tony took out a cell phone he designed by himself and both Sam and Dean interestingly stared at a little, transparent, glowing device.
„iPhones and iPads are awesome but this... This is something." Dean said with a wide smile on his face.
Sam could tell he wasn't himself in the last few minutes. He also knew why Dean was so bonded with the car. It was, after all, a gift from their father, but the Impala suffered and went through too much. Even he thought a new car would be great for them. Especially a car from Stark Industries.
Half an hour later Hogan came with his car and a wrecker. After they attached Impala to the tow truck, everybody seated in Hogan's black Audi. He didn't ask any questions but the boys did look suspicious to him. He constantly kept an eye on them through the rearview mirror. To break the awkward silence, Tony decided to find out more about his fellow travelers.
„So what brings you to LA? Business or pleasure?" He interestingly turned to them.
As Dean said pleasure, Sam said business and they were again in another awkward silence.
„Just to let you know." Tony started again „I have nothing against the same sex relationships and allowing gay marriages. As a matter a fact I myself have celebrity friend who is gay. You wouldn't believe who he actually is."
„No, no, no." Dean desperately said and laughed.
„We're not..." Sam choked „We're just brothers. We're not together."
„Damn." Stark said to himself „I knew it! You did look very straight to me but I didn't wanna take any risks." Hogan laughed at Tony and everybody glanced at him „So why are you guys here?"
„Uhmm, we came here to find this guy, but it turned out he wasn't even here." Sam said and looked at his brother.
„Say the name. I know a lot of people, isn't that right Hogan?"
„Of course you do, boss."
„Oh trust me, you don't know this one."
„Yeah, he's not from... Around here." Dean added.
„Well as a matter a fact I even know some folks that aren't from around this par of the Universe, so." Tony and Hogan laughed as they exchanged looks.
„That has to do something with the New York situation, right?" Sam asked.
„While we're at it..." Dean interrupted „You've gotta mention me to that hot chick in black." He smiled to himself.
„Yeah, I will. And it is involved with the New York situation. You know that big, muscular blondie with a hammer. Thor?" Tony continued to answer on Sam's question „Well, he and his brother Loki are from a completely another side of the Universe. They're some kind of Gods over there. Loki was actually the bad guy who brought those aliens here. Son of a bitch."
As he said that, smiles on Sam and Dean's faces were immediately gone. They both looked at eachother with confusion and stared back at Stark.
„Anyways, try me." He dared them.
„Dorcas Moonwood?" Dean insantly made up the most ridiculous name and even Sam looked at him with surprise.
„Seriously?" Tony barely said through his laugh and Hogan's loud croacking „No offence, but really?"
„He's ashamed of his name, but Dorcas really is a good man." Sam helped Dean out and exclaimed the name.
„Well no, I don't know anyone named Dorcas Moonwood. But here's one good news. We're at home."
For a moment, boys forgot about the insane situation they've gotten themselves into and looked at Stark's amazing house on a cliffside in Malibu. They have only seen it on TV or magazines and it was pretty special. But seeing it in person is seriously spectacular.
„Okay Hogan, you can show the wrecker driver where to put their car. I'm gonna show them the house and leave to... Well, you know." Tony said to his friend and went inside of the house with Sam and Dean.
They had to admit, the inside of the house was even better.
„This is like living the dream." Dean whispered.
„Well, you're gonna live it until I get back. Don't forget the deal, gentlemen." Tony said as he put down his armour suitcase next to the entrance „Thank you for bailing on me back there, Jarvis."
„Sir, I am terribly sorry but I have warned you on time." It resounded through the whole house and, as Dean cowardly jumped, Sam turned around himself to find out where the voice is coming from „Good evening, gentleman." Jarvis decently greeted them.
„Jarvis is my 'computer butler'." Tony explained and showed quotation marks with his hands „You have the food in the kitchen." He pointed at the left side of the house „And you can sleep and watch TV over there." This time he pointed at the right side of the house „If you really want to check out suits, do it but don't touch. You can come now with me, I need to get another suit on."
The boys followed him to a spacious room with 8 different armour suits. Tony picked the red and gold one, but slightly different than the one he had earlier that day. Sam and Dean watched the whole process of putting it on and were left astonished.
„If everything goes the way I planned, I will be back by morning. Until then, make yourself at home."
As Stark flew away from the terrace, Dean started shouting at Sam.
„I can't believe it! I can't believe it! Crushing my car is one thing, but that a person who crushed it is the same one who put that damn Loki guy back at his place, which is by the way on the other side of the Universe, is absolutely insane!" he started panicking.
„I know, right? What are the odds!" Sam said and approached the armours.
„How can you be so calm? Sammy, that Loki almost destroyed the whole damn planet last time he was here but now he's back and we're here stuck in a house of the richest man in the world!"
„Can you stop screaming? Maybe he knows what happened and maybe that's the reason why he had to lave so urgently. Just calm down, it's not like he's gonna start the invasion all over again." Sam gently touched the metal hand of the silver armour suit.
„Oh shit." Dean whispered and covered his mouth.
„What now?" Sam indifferently turned to his brother.
„Jarvis... He can hear us." He whispered again „Let's just act normal."
„That's what I was aiming, Dean." Sam turned back to the armour.
„Hey Hogan, I'm gonna find Loki." Tony called his friend from his suit.
„Okay boss. Do you want me to keep an eye on those two? I know you're used to letting strangers in your house, but you smashed their car and picked them off the road. Don't you think they'll want some kind a revenge like stealing your stuff or something?" Hogan answered from Stark's garage where he left the Impala.
„Ahh Hogie, you always think of the worst. But you're right. You should stay and watch them. From the workshop, acutally. There's an entrance from the garage and when Jarvis asks, just tell him that I allowed you. There you have screens of all the surveillance cameras in the house."
„All right." Hogan turned around and saw the entrance to the workshop „Oh and Tony? Let me know when you get the bastard."
„I will."
