The End of the Team
For a while their lives went on without a deeper purpose. I mean they went to school and trained a lot, but they weren't the old heroes anymore. Then one evening as the three sat together at the dining table and quietly ate their meals as Pym brought a topic up, that Thorunn checked off.
"You should go to Asgard." He said out of the blue as he found unusual interest in his broccoli.
The young Asgardian raised her eyebrows in surprise. "What?"
Pym turned to her and smiled sadly. "Nothing is holding you back anymore. So why should you stay?"
She shook her head frantically. "No. I can't just leave you alone like this."
"We can protect the world without you." Pym assured her. "I mean we beat Ultron two years ago. What's the worst that could happen? An insane scientist gone crazy?"
"Very funny, Pym." Thorunn said and looked down on her plate. "I… I just can't leave."
"Okay, now it's enough. You will go and become one of those feared warriors of Asgard und we will be proud of you. You can visit us whenever you want, when you got the time to do so." Pym said smiling and put his hand over hers on the table.
"I… okay, fine." Thorunn said sighing.
"Good. Now, go on the roof, call your daddy and rough the asgardian monsters up." Pym encouraged the blonde, whereupon Thorunn smiled warmly at him and embraced her friend one last time before she bid them goodbye and left.
The moment she escaped through the door Pym's façade dropped. Sighing he put his face in his hands as he propped his elbows on the table. "I'm going to miss her."
His adoptive father put a gentle hand on his shoulder. "You're not the only, kid. But she was right. You can't protect the world by yourself."
Pym looked up at him. His dark blue eyes meeting Tony's paler ones. "Then help me."
The old man looked strangely at him. "What? Pym, I'm an old man, how could I help you?"
"Are you crazy? You are the Iron Man! You can do it." Pym said and smirked at his mentor.
Tony sighed. "Fine…"
And so the two of them protected the world together. It wasn't such a difficult task in the first year. Tony even had time to locate his protégées and watch them. He watched James entering a university, saw Azari's coronation in Vaconda and how Hawkeye turned into a famous archer. Secretly Tony hoped that the boys would return one day and realize how wrong and childish they behaved, but neither did.
