Alright, just as promised. A little more of Veronica and Bucky.
It's Time- Imagine Dragons
"That's the human superpower, forgetting. If people remembered, we would have stopped having wars long ago." -Steven Moffat
"Again." The Russian voice hissed as Veronica was sparring with the Winter Soldier. It was a test to find each other's weaknesses. Veronica's eyes flashed black and she tried to inflict poison on her partner. But he was to fast. He had been doing this for forty years. All of his partners had been weak, and eliminated. Yet, the soldier realised this 'Black Death' was different. But she was still weak. And the sparring ending with her left arm splintering.
Veronica was taken into Hydra at age 15. And even if she was brainwashed and forced to kill. It still took a mental tole on her. She always felt as if she wasn't worthy, or she was always failing. But this mission. Now 17, She and the Soldier would prove their worth in the assassination of Howard Stark.
"Target in sight. The bird has flown." Veronica spoke as she trailed the limo, keeping herself hidden from view. "Heading towards target area."
"Targets in view." The Soldier spoke as he drove the car speeding up. "Black, load into your vehicle."
"If you fail this-" Their master spoke into the com.
"We won't."
"You should hope so, or the punishment will be far worse."
"Loaded and Target again in sight." Veronica spoke just after.
"Proceed to kill." Master spoke.
"Female Innocent in car." Veronica and The Soldier spoke at the same time.
"Proceed with Mission." Master said.
"But, she will be killed..." Veronica emphasised.
"Proceed with Mission."
"Affirmative Sir." The Soldier said with not a strain of emotion in his voice.
"Impact in 10 seconds."
"9.. 8.. 7.. 6.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1"
"Uncle Tony!" Sophia spoke her eyes lit up with joy. Even if she was tired from the day's events. She smiled and had tons of energy. There was a lot of excitement in the tower with all the guests moving about.
"Hey Squirt. Was the bald guy fun?"
"Mean."
"Fine, was 'Professor Charles Xavier' fun?"
"Yep."
"Where's your dad?"
"Room."
"He's in his room?"
"Yep."
"Can I go in?"
"Yep."
"Can you say anything other than Yep?"
"Yep." She said with a smirk. Tony ruffled her hair and then proceeded to leave her room and go across the hall to Steve's Room.
"Capsicle? Can I come in?"
"Sure. Yeah, come in."
"Everything okay?"
"No, yeah." He sighed and a ran a hand through his blonde hair in frustration. "In not sure."
"Wanna talk about it?"
"Yeah."
"Is this involving Sophia?"
"I just don't know how to take care of her. What if I mess something up? What if i get her hurt? How do I help her with her powers? What if I die?"
"Weight of the world on your shoulders." Tony said with a sad smile. "Steve, you're doing perfect. By far better than I could. She loves you. I despised my dad. You are a polar opposite from what I grew up with." He shuttered before he continued. "Her powers, her being a girl. That's something you could work with. That Xavier dude, and all of us will help you. You don't have to do this alone. If you die." Tony paused and he looked down. "If you die. I'll take care of her. Pepper and I will adopt her. You won't have to worry there."
"Thanks Tony."
"No Problem Steve."
"What'd you come in here for anyway?"
"Oh. I was wondering if you could take my cooking spot tonight. Red's cooking and last time I cooked with her... I almost lost a finger." Steve smiled as he remembered the screaming and yelling. "Besides Cap, I know you like her."
"She's with Bruce." Steve spoke slightly embarrassed.
"I give it a month."
"But then I'd be a rebound."
"I think she likes you too."
"How would you know that?"
"Are you forgetting? Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist. And now. Match maker."
"You're almost worse than Nat." Steve sighed. "Yes I'll take Kitchen duty. But, you'll take Sophia duty."
"Fine with me."
"You sure?"
"Of course. What kind of trouble can she get into? She's only a little kid."
"A little kid, with Superpowers."
Tony regretted his decision almost immediately. Sophia screamed for almost ten minutes because she couldn't follow Papa. Then Tony tried everything, nothing seemed to stop the screeching. Although now, she seemed to be playing.
"Could I pay you to be quiet Sophia?" Tony said with a sigh as she teetered around screeching like a bird.
"Caw! Caw!"
"That's a great impression of your Uncle Clint kid."
"Hawk! Hawk!"
"Yeah. He's Hawkeye. And I'm Ironman."
"IronMan."
"Yeah, that's right squirt."He smiled. "Now will you please stop screeching?"
"Okay."
"Thank You." Sophia crawled up into his lap. Her blue hues gleaming with curiosity. "What is it kid?"
"Ultron.." She spoke with a shutter.
"How'd you know about my top secret? Did Bruce tell you?"
"No." She reached her tiny hands out and placed them on his head. "Head."
"You saw him in my head."
"Kinda."
"Did you see the future?"
"Mm.." She nodded nervously incase she might get in trouble.
"How does he turn out? You've got to tell me everything-"
'Mr. Stark, Captain Rogers asked me to inform you that dinner is ready on the common floor.'
"Tell him we're on our way down J." Tony hoisted up Sophia in his arms as he made his way over to the elevator. "We will continue this talk later, alright?"
"Yep."
"Okay Squirt. Let's see what your Papa made us for dinner." He spoke as the doors shut and he went down.
And there was some Uncle Tony love for everyone who asked for it. More to come soon. I've been slightly overwhelmed with a vacation. But, it gives me more time to write. Reviews are always appreciated!
