So Spencer had now joined up with them and the first thing he did was challenge Iron man to a fight to see who had the better tech but he declined.
"I've had enough fighting for one night but if you wanna postpone your loss you can stay at my place for now"
"Sure I'm up for that"
"You boys can play all you want but I get first dibs" Morrigan chimed in licking Tony's face while cupping his head.
"I'll keep recognizable for ya" Spencer said to her. So with 2 take offs and some swinging the 3 made it back to stark mansion. Morrigan was interested in how it would turn out given the rivalry between the 2. Unlike when she fought Iron man Spencer actually beat him to a draw but if you asked either of them they would they were going to win. But their fight was postponed due to the interventions of Galactus but after that they vowed to settle the score one day. But when they got back there was no fighting that night, just some brief catching up between them and ten off to bed. So the next morning came and Tony awoke to a manner similar to the other day. He walked down the stairs in pajama pants and a tank top, into the kitchen there sitting at the counter was his newest guest sitting at the counter drinking straight from the carton of orange juice.
"Morning Spence" Tony greeted.
"Morning" Spencer replied and then threw the carton down to the floor violently. "You're out of OJ" was his only defense but Tony didn't mind. He knew Spencer wasn't much for manners but like Wolverine he was a good guy once you got to know him. He went to pick up the carton and threw it out.
"I hope the couch was comfortable enough for you last night"
"Oh it wasn't the couch I had a problem with" Spencer said before turning to him. "Heard some loud noises coming from the master bedroom that kept me up for some time. I got a pretty good memory you want me to recap for you?"
"Oh I think he's got enough firsthand experience to remember for himself" Morrigan came walking down her hands moving through her hair. "In fact I remember you begging me to stop because I was too much for you"
"Oh now we get the other side of the story" Spencer added.
"Do you have no manners we have new guest in the house and if you must know I remember it the other way around" Tony responded
Morrigan looked at him out of the corner of her eye and scratched his chin with her index finger. "I must have been too rough on you it seems you can't remember a thing"
"So you got raped?" Spencer said in a mocking tone.
"You know this is just exactly what I wanted to talk about over breakfast" Tony said sarcastically.
"Oh Spencer if you ever get lonely you can join in anytime" Morrigan commented.
He scoffed "No thanks I'm taken" he said showcasing his arm.
"Ah of course"
"And the left hand jokes begin" Tony commented,
"Yeah and more asses I gotta kick" Spencer said a little annoyed. Tony went to the fridge and Morrigan followed. He opened but noticed Morrigan was standing next to him leaning on the fridge.
"So are you gonna make me something this morning"
"Sorry princess you're on your own again" he chuckled. Again they were caught in each others eyes. They slowly started to lean in, their faces were about to touch when…. A grapple came in between them grabbing carton. They both turned to Spencer who began drinking.
"What? You had more OJ". Morrigan sighed, Tony rolled his eyes and then went to the counter to make toast grabbing the paper as on the counter as he went.
"Speaking of swingers" he started "Our friendly neighborhood Spider man made the front page". He showed the picture. Spiderman and Frank west stood there hands on each others shoulders Frank sporting his camera in his free hand, Spider man a thumbs up, with hordes of dead zombies around them.
"I heard of that "Spencer said. "The 2 were going after Wesker. They followed him to a mall where they had a showdown. He got away but unleashed hordes of zombies. They decided to stay behind and help people caught in there"
"Yeah says they saved 23 people" Tony read.
"Oh isn't that cute" Morrigan added. Tony then put the paper down grabbed his toast and walked out of the kitchen. "Well I'll see you later"
"Oh you're not going back to that dull office again" Morrigan whined.
"Not exactly" he said before leaving. Now it was Morrigan and Spencer in the kitchen alone. Truth be told they knew each other like they knew everyone else from there world but they just didn't meet that often. Morrigan thought he was too stiff and Spencer thought she put out too much. The most interaction they've had is by meeting this one person. But Morrigan thought this would be a good time for him to lighten up and have fun.
"Say Spencer you think you could make me some breakfast I'll repay you in any way you want" she said seductively letting her rob fall off her shoulder. Spencer turned around to reply.
"Hell no! You're a guest like me, serve your own crap". Morrigan pouted.
Tony made his way down to the basement and turned the lights on. On a large table in the room was the body of Sentinel, a whole still in his chest. He had it brought here last night to see if he could hack it and find out who sent it and what its mission is. HE walked over to the table, set his toast down and began tampering. But the sound of someone coming down caught his attention. He turned to see Spencer at the bottom of the stairs.
"Need some help doctor?" he asked
"Come prep the patient nurse" Tony said turning back to Sentinel. Spencer smirked, grappled onto the fan above them and swung over to the table.
"Well he's the problem there's a whole in his chest" he pointed out obnoxiously tapping with his bionic finger.
"Gee you don't miss a trick do you?"
"I thought you could use someone who actually understood technology you seem a little behind".
"Hm" was all Tony let out before he continued working.
"So what's the story on him?" Spencer asked leaning on the other side of the table.
"I'm not sure. He was sent to find Morrigan but I don't know why but I don't think he's doing it on his own, I think someone's programmed him. The question is who". They both seemed to think for a moment.
"What about Dormammu?" Spencer asked "Demon king takes out demon princess seems to make sense"
"That's true but this is technology, Dormammu's more of a magic guy he wouldn't bother with something like this. I don't think it's him.. Wesker, Virgil and Shuma Gorath don't fit the mold either"
"Well there's always M.O.D.O.K. but hey if he's behind it I wouldn't worry too much" Spencer started laughing but he could see Tony was deep in thought. "But hey don't sweat it, it won't be your problem much longer".
Tony looked up to him "What do you mean?"
"You really don't know? HAHA" a laugh escaped him "Man she has got you on lock down". Tony said nothing to him. "Anyway" Spencer said getting back on track "this world merging's not gonna last much longer. They were hush on the details but guys from shield said they know how to get the worlds back to the way they were separate and all. They're gonna plan a date so everybody can be in the right place so they don't get stuck in the wrong world". Tony seemed to think about this contemplating the inevitable, then he stood up and started to walk away.
"Hey where you headed?" Spencer asked
"I've got something to contemplate and in fact you're gonna help me".
Spencer looked puzzled "How?"
"Take Morrigan out to the city, I'll give you some money, treat her to a nice time do what she wants maybe even something for yourself if you think you really deserve it"
"I think I do" Spencer said casually.
"Good then go now"
"Sounds like you're giving me permission to take your girl just so ya know I ain't interested in your sloppy seconds"
"I know than Spencer plus you got Emily to keep you company" he said taping his bionic arm. "Think of it as a double date we're having only I'm not there" Tony said as he walked up the stairs. Spencer stood silent and looked at the Iron man armor encased in glass. It was his objective after all but he could delay the mission right? Then he looked down to his bionic arm
"Don't look at me like that" he said sounding guilty. He let out a sigh and went upstairs to do his job.
Morrigan was wearing the same thing she wore the other day. She was wondering the house looking for the two men who were in the house but hoped she bumped into the fun one. This wasn't the case as she walked into the kitchen to see Spencer grabbing some car keys.
"I don't think those belong to you" she nagged at him.
He turned upon hearing her voice. "Oh good you saved me the trouble of finding you" he said walking up to her. "Now I've just got permission to take you out for a day on the town with little to nothing in it for me, ain't I nice. So get ready cause were leaving now"
"And if I refuse" she said crossing her arms.
"That's the thing you won't". Then Spencer swung up with his bionic arm picking her up and throwing her over his back.
"Tony! EH! Tony!" Morrigan called out hitting Spencer's back as he walked off
"Say goodbye to your hero, he won't be coming to save you" Spencer laughed as he headed out the door.
Tony was in the bathroom with the shower running. He saw looking in the mirror as if deep in thought. He took a deep breathe taking in all the things on his mind and exhaled. Then he turned to walk into the shower.
The day had not gone exactly as the bionic commando had planned. He could deal with following the immature sultry princess around catering to her every need no matter how much it annoyed him, but he was given all that money and he couldn't even use it. Apparently every place they went had some "You saved the world so everything's free sale for them. Currently he sat in a clothing store with his arms crossed waiting for Morrigan to walk out and he would grade what she wore. By his last critique she scored in the negatives. Morrigan then walked out to a less than amused Spencer. She wore short shorts and a tiny shirt that exposed her stomach.
"So what do you think?" she asked turning around so he got a full 360 degree view. Spencer looked around and she was clearly turning heads. Every other guy and a few girls were looking, one guy even got smacked by his girlfriend.
"It's fine I guess". Morrigan smiled finally something positive came from this guy. But then Spencer got an idea "But you know I don't think Stark would like it". Morrigans eyes bugged open and she quickly ran back to change into something else. Spencer sat and laughed softly in the aftermath. "Haha Nathan you are gonna have a good day"
So there day went on stopping and going to multiple different stores throughout the day. It was now sunset and they decided to call it a day returning with no valuables. They walked through the doors to the house and Tony was standing there in a suite.
"Oh you're both back and before your curfew your parents would be so proud. What no souvenirs?"
"Yeah I was gonna bring back a whole catering crew with dinner but lardass over here ate all the food" Spencer said pointing to Morrigan.
"Do you have to be so negative all the time?"
"I don't know do you have to bitch about everything?" Morrigan threw her hands in the air and gave up and walked off to lie on the couch looking exhausted.
"Wow the only time she looks like that is when I'm done with her what'd you do?" Tony asked.
"I don't even need to touch her I can destroy her verbally" Spencer announced. Tony chuckled and walked over to Morrigan. She was sitting up on the couch now with her legs crossed looking out to the city.
"So you have a fun time today?"
"Never again" she said not breaking her gaze. Tony chuckled and turned his head to the city now. He spent all day trying to come up with an elaborate speech about this but in the end all he had was a few words to start it.
"You know the worlds are gonna separate soon" he said keeping his eyes on the city. Morrigan looked over to him now with a pale look and icy stare. "Haven't decided a date or time but who knows could be in a year, a month, a week or even tomorrow" he said looking down at her now. "So seeing as how your stay at castle Stark is wearing out how about having a going away party for the special princess?" Spencer then added his own comment something about him going to **** himself. They both looked back to him and then to each other. "So wadda say?"
"Dinner would be nice" she said.
"Dinner it is, where we can go to any restaurant in the city, hell the world even"
"Here"
"Here? In my home?"
"Our home" she corrected
"Alright when should I pick you up? 7?"
"8"
"8 it is. No overprotective father to greet me when I come get you right" he joked. They shared a small chuckle. Then there was silence "I'll see you then" he said before walking away. He walked past Spencer who was leaning on the wall.
"That was it? I spent all day catering to that so you could spend 5 minutes to set a date?"
"Some things take a lot of thought, you gotta do it right the first time. It all depends on the person Spencer".
"Yeah Yeah. I'll get you back for wasting my day though"
"You can try" Tony said as he walked off.
