Chapter 10: I Was There
The Avengers all stood stock still has her laughter died down. No one dared to move.
"Ah, I haven't felt such amusement in what has to be eons!" She mused as she's moved a lock of Raven hair back.
"Look at you!" She said looking around the room.
"I must say this must be the furthest anyone has gotten to figuring things out! Most splendid!" She stated delightedly.
"Do you wish us to figure it out?" Natasha ventured.
Steve shifted instinctively to place himself in between Natasha and Calamity. But Calamity remained where she was.
"Very good question my Dear, in a matter… Certainly not the way you understand it, however." She replied pointedly.
"Oh come on now! You are all standing so stiffly. Please sit, I am not here to hurt to you or stop you." She drawled. Still nobody moved. She sighed.
"Come now." She grabbed Steve's wrist and led him back to his seat.
Steve was unable to resist, his body obeyed her dutifully. The others watched in frozen terror unable to comprehend what was happening. They can see the tense look on Steve's face. After she placed him back in his seat and removed her hand they noticed that his wrist was black and purple.
When Steve saw his team's shocked realization he quickly commanded them.
"Stand down! Do not engage. Please just sit back down." The last part came out forceful and strained. Everyone complied but Tony. He remained frozen staring at the captain's wrist. Steve could see were Tony's mind was heading.
"Tony!" Steve shouted in the best authoritative voice he could muster then. "Sit down."
Tony nodded silently, blinking rapidly. Steve knew if Tony engaged, he would have died right then and there.
"Excellent!" Calamity exclaimed in delight.
"Tell us," Xavier started, "If you are going to be so forthcoming why are you doing what you're doing?"
"Ah, right to the point! Wonderful! I like that mind reader." She said boisterously.
She moved behind the Captain and put her hands on his shoulders. Steve stiffened noticeably at that. He shook his head subtly at Tony who was seething and looked ready to pounce.
"Unfortunately, I have so many agendas happening all at once, none could ever hope to understand my motives." She stated as she began to run her hands up and down the Captain's arms.
"How about I give you a little hint?" She mused.
"Tell me Asgardian, how many great branches of Yggdrasil are there?" Everyone's subtly and slowly looked at Thor.
"Nine." Thor answered simply.
"Indeed. How many of those realms have you discovered that I have, let's say, visited a world?" She asked. Her hands moved to cradle Steve's neck.
"Five, you have been to one world in five different realms." Thor stated slowly a realization dawning.
Calamity was leading them to a pattern.
"Gah, your information is incomplete." She sighed and moved away from Steve minutely. Many, especially Tony, visually relaxed just a little.
"My dear Midgardians, your Earth is the seventh. Of course the quicker I find my keystone the less evidence of my presence gets left behind." Everyone silently waited for her to continue, becoming ever more petrified.
"Admittedly my first world that I took was for something as petty as fury, but I discovered so much about myself, so much about my gifts given to me by our great mother and my true purpose. I regret handling the first so brutally but alas it is what it is… The way it should be." She admitted with a far off look.
"Which world was that?" Clint piped up surprisingly.
"Ah, the archer, he speaks." She looked at Clint surprised. He now held her complete attention and wanted nothing more than to shit his pants.
"Did you know that archery is timeless? It exists in every realm and beyond. Every life form that has developed a form of weapons technology has archery as a foundation. Oh, there is so much I could teach you, but so very little time." She looked truly mournful.
"To answer your question, it was a world from another time near the beginning of everything. Before history books were written and before time itself held any meaning. In a time where life forms had barely begun to become aware of their own existence." She answered.
"After I learned about the value of my existence during that time I knew what I had to do. I took the planet Xiréth in the Vanaheim. Next I took Ödeskar of the Jotunheim, then Pläkktakienvín of the Niflheim, Körga of the Muspelheim and lastly Trëyía of the Alfheim. She smiled watching Thor as she spoke.
Thor looked visibly shocked at her mentioning Trëyía.
"But the Miigs destroyed Trëyía!"
"The planet itself perhaps but not its people. I took the people, their souls. The Miigs merely encountered an uninhabited planet and plundered it for all it's worth." Thor sat stone still mulling over what she said.
She gracefully strode over to Thor and ran a hand down his cheek.
"My dear, I can only imagine what this information does to you. To learn that one of your father's first valiant conquests of his youth was misguided and based purely on conjecture." Thor shifted uncomfortably.
"To think that the full wrath of Asgard was unleashed upon the Miigs, who were wholly undeserving of such a fate… What a pity." She sighed.
"And what is your endgame? What is your purpose?" This time Steve asked.
"My Dear Captain, I had hoped you would address me again." She smiled and came back to stand behind Steve once more. She also ran her fingers down his cheek, tracing his jaw.
"As I said before there is no time to explain everything but I will tell you this; I want access to all the souls, every single one in the entire universe." Everyone stiffened at her admission.
"But in order to achieve this, I need to leave my mark and collect souls from each and every realm." She said matter of factly.
"How do you choose? What made you deem earth worthy enough of the cut?" Tony spat out, his displeasure at the situation holy on concealed.
Calamity's response to that was to run her hands along Steve's clavicle and down his strong chest. Tony's ire did not go unnoticed by anyone.
"Ah you, the walking contradiction. I was wondering when you would finally speak to me." She smirked wickedly at him. Her look was the very embodiment of a cunning fox bearing its teeth.
"My Dear, I do wish I could say that I choose randomly but alas everything is not without a purpose. I do not wish to give you too much information, I do have goals to meet after all. However I will give you this. I choose worlds that, yes, are indeed plagued by war, violence, chaos, and true evil in of itself. However, I also choose worlds in which all these horrors were brought about by a significant influence from an infinity stone. And as it happens your tiny planet that you call Earth has been tainted and influenced by three of the six. I could not have asked for a better circumstance." She replied giddily.
"Why?" Steve asked quietly, all the while vastly uncomfortable with Calamity's wandering hands.
"Why what Dear?" She began to run her fingers through his hair lovingly.
"Why do you want all the souls?" Steve clarified.
"Why does anyone want anything?" She mused. "Unfortunately I cannot tell you, it would be like giving away the ending to a long and wonderful story." She replied wistfully.
"Then what are you waiting for? What is this keystone that you need?" Fury demanded.
"Oh finally! A more relevant question."
She walked around the room lightly touching our hero's shoulders as she went. She lingers on Clint for a moment, grazing her hands over the bandage still present over the assassins forehead making him flinch almost violently causing Calamity to smirk. She also lingered on Tony for a moment, tracing his left ear gently before moving on. She finally came upon Fury.
"Oh Nicholas, so much fear and rage." She sighed. "A very dangerous combination that is."
"Now you want to know what the keystone is? As the names suggest it is a very special significant piece to this the vast and complex puzzle." She began to trace patterns upon Fury's smooth cranium.
"I need the keystone to complete the circle, or perhaps more accurate, the cherry on top so to speak." She said as she tapped their very top of Fury's head gently.
"I won't tell you what the keystone is, that will be a surprise." She stated as she made her way back to Steve. "Besides you couldn't hope to stop me even if you did figure it out."
"Bullshit! I'm close!" Shouted Tony, rising from his seat.
"Oh my Dear Anthony. What you think you have isn't close to being accurate. The algorithms and data you have of my supposed abilities are incomplete at best."
Tony visibly gulped.
"Here," she said as she produced a thumb drive out of a pocket of her jeans. "This is by far more accurate than what you have managed to conceive so far."
She tossed the drive to Tony. "It is merely a fragment but it will have its use in time."
"How is it we were able to find you then? The data I used found you in the video footages we have." Tony replied looking at the drive in his hands skeptically.
"You are only seeing what I am allowing you to see. It is true that a piece of the data you have is accurate enough to perceive me, only because I allow it." She stressed making eye contact with Tony.
"I only hid my visage from your world at first to create a proper foothold before risking detection. After you made the connection to my chosen ones there was no sense in hiding any longer. But I couldn't make it too easy on you either." She winked.
"Is it safe to assume everything we have regarding you is irrelevant?" Natasha inquired.
"Not completely," she sighed. "Like I said before you cannot hope to begin to comprehend the things I have set in motion. However you must understand this: if I wanted you out of the way you would be dead. If I wanted you to utterly fail, I would not have shown myself to you nor would I have left such blatant clues behind these past millennia." She stated ruefully.
Steve swallowed his fear and stood suddenly to face her.
"Why go through all of this trouble? Why involve us like this?!" He demanded frustrated beyond anything he's ever felt before. She only smiled sadly at him.
"Is this the test!?" Steve finally uttered.
Calamity's face lit up joyfully in exhilaration and appeared almost relieved.
"Oh! My dearest Steven this is most certainly a test!" She laughed. She began to fade and become almost translucent like an apparition. "And I have something very special in store for you, Love." She said mysteriously as she'd reached up and planted a kiss on Steve's forehead before completely and utterly disappearing.
Everyone stood completely still. No one dared to move or even breathe. Once a little over a minute past Tony broke the silence first.
"Oh Thank God!" He shouted hysterically and nearly started to hyperventilate.
This caught Steve's attention immediately.
"What is it Tony!?" He asked hastily making his way quickly to Tony.
The genius's outburst had shocked everyone so much they all were about to have their own meltdowns. Steve grabbed Tony's face to make him focus.
"What is it?" Steve asked softer, looking Tony in the eye.
"You're not dead…" Tony replied quietly, his voice barely above a whisper.
Steve raised his eyebrows at that.
"She kissed you and said…" He exhaled and inhaled rapidly, "She said she has something special in store for you." He gulped trying to regain control. "I thought for sure you'd be next." He finished.
Before Tony could go back into hysterics Steve enveloped Tony close to his body. He could feel Tony relax immediately.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!" Clint shouted out erratically. There he goes.
Bruce was shaking violently while Natasha tearfully was trying to keep Bruce calm. Xavier and Thor were both stone silent and Fury promptly fainted.
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry!" Clint shouted again. "I'm sorry." He said a little calmer now.
All of a sudden Tony's phone starts to go off alarmingly.
"Oh God what now?! What now?!" Clint became hysterical again.
Tony took out his phone and looked at it, then groaned as if his very life force was draining away. Everyone still coherent stared at Tony expectantly. Every person's nerves were a delicate thread pulled tight ready to snap.
Tony replied, "It seems that my algorithm found Calamity. Apparently she was here in this room." He all but squeaked out.
And then that thread snapped.
"NO FUCKING SHIIIIITT!" Clinton bellowed insanely, his eyes wild.
Like a shockwave the Hulk suddenly the appeared with a roar of anguish. Steve quickly pushed Tony to the door. Tony grabbed Clint by the collar and dragged him away with him. Thor grabbed Xavier, chair and all and followed Tony. Steve hauled an unconscious Fury over his shoulder and followed Thor, glancing back to see Natasha hot on his heels.
They made it out and shut the door behind them in the nick of time. They can hear the Hulk's echoing snarl as he tears up the Super Duper meeting room once more.
They remained on the floor panting. Finding themselves in yet another terrifying silence. This time Clint was the first to speak.
"Well." He said. "If you will all excuse me, I'm going to go change my pants." He stood abruptly and walked away. No one stopped him.
Steve eyed Fury in his arms hoping that he is merely passed out and not comatose.
"Do not worry Captain, I can read his mind even now." Xavier reassured. "Best take him to sick bay regardless." Steve nodded.
"Or better yet, we should just leave him on the floor." Tony piped up.
"Heh, as tempting is that would be Tony I have to make sure everyone in my team is OK. I am in command now." Steve stated as he looked down at the unconscious Director.
He stood carefully, with Fury still limp in his arms and started to head to sick bay.
"Professor? If you could, please brief the others about what just happened. Leave nothing out."
"Of course Captain." Xavier replied as he melded into a look of concentration and started to head to the labs.
"Nat, how are you?"
"I'll manage." She replied exhausted.
"Get cleaned up and rested up, after that take care of Banner." She nodded and left.
"Thor, will you go check on Clint and make sure he is stable? Remind him why we are here." Thor nodded.
"And if they don't already know, make sure your people know what has happened here today."
"Heimdall would have surely seen what has transpired but I will ensure it!"
Steve nodded and watched as Thor made his way to go find Clint.
"And what will you have me do, My Lord?" Tony piped up. Steve smiled.
"Try to eat whatever you can stomach, not alcohol or coffee please." Steve sighed as Tony laughed. "And get as much rest as possible." Steve said as he walked through the sick bay doors where he was met with Physicians and a gurney.
Tony grabbed Steve's arm after Fury had been safely handed off.
"Only if you join me?" Tony said in a way that was as close as pleading as he could get.
"Alright." Steve smiled tiredly. "Lead the way."

Their meal together was light and silent. They shared a few pieces of fruit and watched the stars twinkle in the sky from Tony's assigned quarters. After they ate they retired to Tony's bed together, neither of them wanting to be alone. It was completely unspoken, neither of them brought it up to stay together, they just did.
Steve wrapped his arms around Tony without thinking and fell asleep instantaneously to the slight illumination of his ark reactor. Tony was mildly shocked at first by Steve's absent minded forwardness but settled in and listened to Steve's strong and steady heart beat. Like the most enchanting the lullaby Tony fell asleep quickly enough.
Both slept completely through the night and most of the morning for once. Their slumber may not have been entirely restful, considering, but sleep they did.
-0-
The following day had been the most dismal by far. Everybody had moved languidly throughout the entire morning. It wasn't until Steve and Tony made a reappearance did anyone consider to even eat. Steve made sure they did.
Fury was still unconscious and Bruce was cradling his head in his hands speaking softly to Natasha what sounded like a slew of apologies. She kept reassuring him that it wasn't his fault. Clint was the only one remotely lively, pacing back and forth near the window of the common room they were currently occupying.
Thor left earlier that morning back to Asgard. That meeting with his father isn't going to be a fun one. Xavier and his X-Men are in the sick bay discussing what happened yesterday.
Tony was fiddling with the thumb drive in his hand. He was debating with himself what he should do with it. Steve was absent mindedly watching him.
"OK, OK. I can't take it anymore!" Clint stopped his pacing suddenly and faced everyone. "Can I just say, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE!?" He demanded feverishly. "Because, really, I don't have a clue." He began again. All eyes were on him.
"Because hey! We are dealing with an old ass alien who is hell bent on, no, not world domination, but universal domination! Yet! Yet she doesn't want to stop us from stopping her!" He shouted at an unusually high octave.
"Crazy! Crazy she is! Not to mention THIS!" He screamed as he pointed to his forehead. No bandage, no wound.
"She got you too?" Steve asked slowly unperturbed. Clint blinked at him.
"What the fuck do you mean you too?!" Clint ran to Steve and grabbed his shoulders. "Don't be playing with me man." He said lowly as he looked Steve in the eye.
Steve moved Clint away from him as he lifted his shirt. All they saw all was pure milky skin. None of the bruising from the doom bot attack remained.
"She healed everything." Steve stated his voice cracking. "Everything meaning arms and legs too." He added as he stood and stretched his muscles and popped his joints. "Not a lick of pain."
He thought for a moment.
"Not even this bruise on my wrists hurts."
They looked at the bruising around the Captain's wrist where Calamity had first grabbed him.
"Are you sure? That looks pretty nasty." Asked Bruce.
"I don't feel it." He said as he poked at it.
"You two aren't the only ones." Tony replied.
"What you mean Tony?" Asked Steve.
"Well let's just say I won't need this anymore." He replied as he placed a tiny device on the table it couldn't be any bigger than a pinky nail.
Steve stared at it astonished.
"Is that…?" He looked at Tony questioningly.
"My hearing aid." Tony said matter of factly.
"You have a hearing aid?" Clint asked incredulously. Clearly miffed at not knowing such an important piece of information about a supposed friend.
"Well it's not like I broadcast it! That kinda shit happens if you get blown up enough!" Tony retorted rubbing his ears.
"She touched everyone… I wonder what she did to everyone else?" Natasha asked to no one in particular. Only Clint and Bruce recognized the far off look in her eyes as she subtly rubbed her belly.
"See!" Clint shouted. "This is what I'm talking about! What the hell is going on!?"
Steve merely shook his head equally lost. At first he was immensely uncomfortable with Calamity being incredibly touchy feely with him. He knew he could do nothing to stop her. Any attempt to do so could have led to his death or the death of any of his team. He would not allow that. So he let her.
Then he felt a world of shock and confusion when he realized her menstrations were actually healing him. Trust and believe he was vastly more vexed than Clint was at the moment. He just had to keep himself in check for the sake of his team. He would stay the cool and collected rock so that his team doesn't have to.
"Well if we're going to make any sense of this at all then we gotta start somewhere." Steve said clapping his hands together partly to gain everyone's attention and partly to keep his mind focused.
"OK, this is what we are going to do," He started adamantly. "Let's gather everything we have and use the meeting room closest to sick bay. It's not much, but will serve its purpose. It also has a nice view." The Captain proposed.
"And Tony, bring that drive with you. We are going to decide together what to do with it." Tony only nodded, not even putting up a fight.
-0-
They had compiled everything they have together. Everything they were working on the past few days were in folders, stacks of books, photocopies, and hard drives that were now, more or less, organized upon the surface of the table.
"Where do we start?" Asked Bruce as he looked at all of the information, becoming overwhelmed.
"We will start by deciding what to do with a drive she gave us." Steve commanded.
"Well, I think we should destroy it." Clint suggested quickly. "It might be a virus!"
"I don't think so." Said Bruce. "If she wanted to slow us down there would have been easier ways for her to do it."
"I agree." Said Natasha. "I got the impression that she pretty much has the capacity to do nearly anything. If she wanted to destroy any information we already have, all she would have to do a snap her fingers."
"But what if it does something else like leak all of our secret's all over the Internet or something?" Clint retorted.
"Well, connecting it to a device that isn't connected to the Avengers or Shield servers and doesn't have Internet access would solve that problem." Tony supplied.
"What do you think we should do with it Tony? She gave it to you." Steve asked.
"I do want to look at it. But like Clint said there's no telling if what ever is on it is safe to view." Tony sighed.
"Well, she did say that she had no intention of hurting us or stopping us." Steve started. "Assuming everything she told us it's the truth, all that drive contains is a more accurate data code to the one Tony had been working on. We won't know to what value it could be to us if we don't plug it in. She may have handed as the trump card and is waiting to see if we use it or throw it away. She did say that this is a test." Steve concluded.
"What if she's lying about everything and only said she wouldn't hurt us and healed us to prove that point only to get us off guard? This could all be a twisted game to her and she's only screwing with us?" Clint rebuttaled.
"That's true, what if she told Tony he was wrong because he actually is close to finding an answer?" This response came from Maria that just came through the door with Jane in tow. Steve stood to greet them.
"I figured we could use all the help we can get." Maria said as she gestured to Jane. Steve shook her hand.
"Good morning Jane, you're most welcome here any time. But if I had my way I wouldn't involve any more people after yesterday. However, considering all we've gathered so far I will not begrudge anybody of their right to fight for this world." Steve said as he pulled out the seat next to Natasha for Jane to sit. The others nodded in agreement.
"Have you been fully briefed?"
"Oh yeah I have, and if you don't mind Eric and Darcy are in sick bay with the X-Men."
"Oh dear Lord you brought that menacing woman with you?!" Tony demanded snidely.
"If it's really the end of the world, she didn't wanna miss it." Jane replied as Tony rolled his eyes.
"You have no idea what I caught her doing in my lab last time! She – "
"Tony!" Steve cut in. "It's fine."
Tony grumbled in response while wiggling in his chair.
"I also brought Betty with me, she's looking over the patients now." Maria added
The others nodded and Bruce groaned resting his head in his hands. Natasha patted him on the back reassuringly.
"So what now?" Jane spoke.
"We were just discussing what to do with the drive Calamity gave us." Clint replied, Jane nodded.
"And I believe we should destroy it, Maria just did bring up a valid point."
"You all bring up fair points and I do agree with you to some extent however let me put it this way." Steve paused and swallowed thickly. "For those of you present yesterday, what did it feel like when she appeared suddenly?" He asked.
"Like I wanted to shit my pants." Reply Clint immediately.
"Like all the breath left my lungs and I was drowning." Replied Natasha.
"Like time froze." Bruce said.
"Silence. Outside and in." Tony replied pointing to his head. Steve nodded.
"Was that simply from the shock of her sudden appearance?" He asked. "Or was it because you felt how massive her presence was, how it seemed like her laughter could tear every atom in our very bodies apart?" Steve illustrated with a violet shiver. Everyone shuddered.
"You have no idea what I felt when she grabbed my wrist." He continued, his fingers lightly touching the black markings on his left wrist.
"I… I can't even describe it." He whispered. "She spoke of eons and millennia, she's a powerful and ancient being." Steve breathed. "And I believe it."
"We can't think of her as a normal villain. Hell she isn't a villain at all but something else entirely." Clint wanted to protest the Steve continued.
"I feel it deep down. We are but dust in the wind compared to her. This isn't about stopping her anymore, this isn't about our world anymore but the entire universe. Regardless of whether or not she can be trusted is irrelevant now. Considering what we know she is capable of, if she wants to play a game, then so be it, we will play along."
"I agree with you Steve." Tony said quietly. Steve's heart nearly leapt out of his chest when he heard Tony say his name, despite the terrible mood. 'Wow, I am a horrible person.' He thought with a sigh.
Tony pulled a tablet out of his satchel and readied himself to plug the device in.
"Any last minute objections?" Tony asked.
"It could be a bomb." Clint said.
"Like I haven't been blown up before," he laughed. "Well if it is, see you all on the other side." Tony grinned as he plugged the thumb drive into the tablet.
After a moment nothing happened. The drive didn't blow up the world didn't end. Tony touched the screen a few times before he wailed.
"AAWWWW!"
Everyone froze ready for the worst.
"What is it Tony?" Steve managed to croak out through his tense muscles.
"It's encrypted. It's going to take a while to hack, it's pretty complex." Tony replied dryly. They all deflated dramatically.
"Don't you fucking do that!" Clint shouted before socking Tony and the arm.
"Ow! What the fuck? Are you ten or something?" He whined as the rubbed his arm.
Steve pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation. How is this his life? He's just a kid from Brooklyn but here he is, in this time, with these people, in this insane situation. He could not help but to wish Bucky was there with him. He read somewhere that wishes were eternal, whatever.
"Enough!" Steve shouted before Clint and Tony could get into it further.
He took a deep breath a little calmer now, he addressed Tony.
"Just focus on decrypting that drive and let us know about any developments."
He then turned to Jane. "All this here," he gestured to the heaps of data on the table, "is everything we have managed to gather about this whole mess." He sighed. "You and all our Allies are welcome to it." She nodded and began to thumb through some of the files.
"Perhaps fresh eyes may shed a bit more light on this." Steve smiled gently at Jane.
She smiled back and continued to look through the files while Natasha and Clint began to explain to her exactly what happened yesterday. Steve moved to go look outside the window. He stared at the sky and the clouds and wondered when it was all going to end.
-0-
A little while later the X-Men followed by a conscious Fury along with Darcy, Eric and Betty joined the Avengers to brainstorm. Steve was staring out the window still when Tony came up behind him and placed his hand gently on the Captains shoulder.
"How are you holding up there Cap?"
"Pretty well, considering." Steve replied while absently rubbing his darkened wrist.
"Aren't we all?" Tony shrugged. "Anyway I have an approximate ETA on the decryption."
Steve finally tore his eyes away from the sky. "Okay?" Was all he said.
Tony wasn't going to bring it up but he was definitely afraid for Steve.
"The code is pretty gnarly so it'll probably take a week maybe two at the most."
Steve only nodded his eyes a somber blue gray.
"Are you sure you are okay?" Tony asked.
"I was just thinking, if you knew it was going to be a losing battle weeks ago, would you still choose to fight or would you sit it out and let the world fall away?" Steve asked.
"Honestly?"
Steve nodded.
"I'd still want the chance to fight. Even if the world still ends. I wouldn't want the end to come and think well maybe just maybe if I had done more… I'd rather think that if I did everything I could and the world still ends, I'd somehow be okay with that you know?"
Steve smiled.
"Yeah, I know." He did know, he felt the same way. "I'm just a bit torn, I'd like to involve as few people as possible in this. To impose this impossible burden on them would be so unfair and cruel. Yet, I know I can't simply take away their right to choose if they want to be a part of this." Steve uttered through his warring thoughts.
"What are you thinking Cap?" The genius questioned.
"What if we pulled more people in? It would be cruel but I'd want to know and I'd want the chance to fight." He replied firmly. "I know a few people that would possibly want to join us."
"Well being the end of the world and all we might as well get all the help we can get. I've might know a guy or two that would appreciate the opportunity."
Steve smiled at that.
"My apologies, but we could not help but to overhear," Xavier rolled up to them. "But if we are going to be adding members to this ragtag group of 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes', then we know a few others that have the right to join us."
Steve looked at Xavier and to the others and realized everyone was watching them. He made eye contact with Tony and smiled. He turned back to Xavier and nodded.
"Yeah." He said. "Let's bring them in."
