Warnings: Um...Tony's mouth?
"Tony? Tony!" Steve called frantically. Steve ran down to the workshop where Bruce and Tony worked diligently over a table.
"Tony!" Steve called in relief "Where's Angie? I want to take her for walk" Steve was ignored by Tony, but Bruce looked up.
"Will you excuse us, Dr. Banner?" Steve asked kindly, sending a glare at Tony. Bruce grinned.
"Happily" Bruce walked off with a smirk as Steve sauntered over to Tony. His large hand landed on Tony's shoulder, startling the inventor.
"Where's our daughter, Tony?" Steve asked, eyes narrowed.
"...daughter?" Tony looked confused, much to Steve's horror. Then, he laughed.
"I'm just shittin with ya, Capsicle" Tony laughed "She's playing with DUM-E" Tony nodded his head to the robot, which was holding Angie by the back of her footsie pajamas.
"Angie!" Steve cried in horror.
"Don' t worry, she's safe" Tony reassured. DUM-E suddenly dropped the baby. Steve shrieked. Tony gaped. The small girl didn't fall. Instead, she started going upwards.
"Tony!" Steve exclaimed, accusing the inventor of this.
"I have nothing to do with that!"
"Do with what?" Both heroes spun around to see Nick Fury standing there.
"Nothing, Fury, sir" Steve said, taking on his Captain America voice.
"Then why is there a floating baby behind you?" Tony and Steve winced as Angie let out a cry of delight and floated over to Fury. Fury looked at the little girl and his gaze went from steel hard to rock hard. So, his softest look Tony had ever seen. Fury plucked the baby from the air and held her out to her parents.
"I'm going to give you one warning; get her under control" Fury said, though it wasn't as harsh or intimidating as it should have been. Then, the man walked out. Steve and Tony looked at Angie in shock.
"She can fly" Steve murmured at the same time Tony said "She melted his heart" They both looked at each other.
"Tony, priorities" Steve said firmly "We have to learn how to keep Angie safe from, oh I don't know, flying out a window!"
"Jarvis, lock all windows if Angie gets within a foot of them" Tony said "There. Problem solved" Steve rolled his eyes.
"What about when she goes to school in a year? What then?" Steve asked
"We'll have it trained out of her by then" Tony dismissed "Go for your walk" Steve glanced around.
"Uh...where's Angie?" Steve asked. Tony and Steve exchanged a look before running off.
"Jarvis, where's our daughter?" Tony demanded
"Lounge, sir" Jarvis replied. Steve and Tony sighed and went up. The doors opened to reveal Nick Fury, crossed legged on the floor, Angie across from him, playing patty cake. Tony slapped a hand over Steve's mouth, but the director of S.H.I.E.L.D had already seen them. He stood and cleared his throat.
"She's very intelligent for her age" Fury muttered "Good day" Tony smirked as Fury walked off into the elevator.
"And Bruce thought we wouldn't be able to deny her anything" Tony mused "Then again, if Fury can't, who can?"
"We'll try" Steve said, picking his daughter up
"Unlikely we'll succeed" Tony laughed
"A for effort" Angie grinned. Tony and Steve laughed.
Steve and Tony had been called to the Helicarrier, and had no choice but to bring Angie with them. Angie was in between the two men, hands tightly gripped onto their fingers. Angie would laugh in delight when Tony and Steve would swing her between them. Maria Hill came up to them, arms folded.
"Agent Hill, good timing" Tony grinned "Think you could watch our daughter? Fury needs us for something important, and we can't take her with us"
"Why not hire a sitter?" Maria asked
"Well, she can fly, so that's a bad idea" Tony beamed "Angie, stay with Aunt Hill, she'll keep you safe, blah blah blah, love you, have to run" Angie watched with a smile as Steve and Tony jogged off. She looked to Maria with big eyes. The agent smiled and lifted the girl.
"So, you're the infamous Angie Stark-Rodgers" Maria muttered. Angie bobbed her head enthusiastically, little auburn curls flying around. Maria sighed.
"Well, let's go get you something to eat" Maria muttered. Angie latched onto the woman's hand, looking around in fascination at everything. A few agents walked by and gaped at the woman.
"Let's get you a name tag first" Maria muttered, leading the girl to her office. Inside she quickly made a little badge for the little girl. Angie wore it proudly as Maria led the girl to the mess hall. After letting the girl eat chopped up bits of fruit and bagel, Angie burped, a column of flames torching the table in front of the toddler.
"Stark!"
So, I'm going to hide back in the abyss now.
