Chapter 10:
"Ah Steve, you're back early." I said as Steve walked by.
"Yeah, I can't stay outta the action for too long. I have a question Tony." Steve said.
I stopped, looked at him and crossed my arms. Raising an eyebrow I asked:
"And that is?"
"Do you still have that hard light shield you made for me?"
I laughed.
"Why would I throw out one of my best inventions? Come with me." I said.
As we walked to the lab we walked past Peter and Lang sparring for the umpteenth time, Matthew and Luke "reading" the news paper, Frank and Natasha fighting over who's more skilled, Robbie blowing up our bathroom taking a shit and a massive game party with Wanda, Vision, T'Challa, Bucky, Clint, Stephen and Wong. Rhodes was sitting in the back watching them.
"Friday, turn on the lights." I said and clapped my hands.
"Of course Mr. Stark." The automated voice of Friday said.
I walked over to a desk in my lab.
Steve walked over to an incomplete suit I was making. He then walked over to a new spider suit and a couple new guns I was working on. I even had a new war machine suit and Ultrons head.
"You've been busy." Steve said.
"Yeah, well it helps with the PTSD, and helps keep us prepared." I said, picking up a red and blue glove.
On the palm I had a repulsor, on the back of the hand was a white star, the glove covered the whole arm, so it was more of a sleeve. It had a projector on the forearm.
"Here she is." I said, putting it on.
I turned and shot the repulsor at a dummy I had up. The dummy fell over.
I then brought my arm up in a defensive position and the shield came online.
"Grab that gun on the bench and shoot the shield." I said.
"You sure?" Steve asked, picking up the gun.
I nodded and he shot 3 rounds, each one bouncing off the shield.
"Even lighter then vibranium, 5 times as strong. Glove comes with a bonus repulsor and it's got a self charging battery." I said, taking the glove off.
"Here ya go." I said and handed it to him.
"To turn it on just bring your arm up. To throw it make a throwing motion, im working on a hard light one that stays around permanently, so you don't need the glove, but this is the best we've got for now." I said.
"Wanna see your new suit?" I asked.
"How'd you know I'm becoming Captain America again?" Steve asked.
"Asking for the shield gave it away." I said, shrugging.
"Also I'm one of the smartest people on earth." I said and pressed a button.
The suit came up in a display case. It was the same design and colour as his suit from when he worked for shield, dark blue with a white star and streaks on the chest.
"It's got a vibranium mesh under the first 3 layers of fabric, basically it'll stop anything but an FMJ sniper on the body, the helmet is vibranium, making it bulletproof." I said.
"Thanks Tony, it looks good." Steve said.
"Try it on, the glove fits underneath the suit." I said.
When he went to try it on I started work on my new suit. I'm calling it the Destroyer Armour. It's made out of the same metal as Thor's hammer and I'm modelling it after the Destroyers in Asgard, hence the name.
When Steve came out I was shocked.
"Fits better then I thought, you know I eyeballed the measurements?" I said and put my hands on his shoulders.
"It's a little tight." He said.
"It'll just impress Sharon more, I think you'd look better if you cut the hair and shaved the beard." I said.
"I'll get right on that." Steve said and started to leave.
I stuck my hand out and he took it.
"Welcome back Cap." I said.
Star Lord POV:
"Peter, why are we here?" Gamora asked me once we landed on an asteroid in the middle of nowhere.
"My gut told me we should land here." I said.
We all put on our space suits and stepped out into the asteroid.
"I sense a dark presence." Mantis said.
"I feel it too." Adam and I said.
"I'm going to kill it." Drax said.
"I am Groot." Groot added.
Dey and Kraglin stayed on the ship while the rest of us went out.
"I don't like this..." Thor said.
"Yeah same, it like water." Hulk said.
"Guardians of the Galaxy, you've been foiling my plans for a while..." somone said.
We all grouped up in a circle, preparing to fight.
"I brought you here Peter Quill, so I can kill you and your team, so it will make my conquest of Earth easier." It continued.
"And my lovely daughter Gamora, it's a shame to have to kill you."
Out of the shadows, we saw a glowing, golden gauntlet.
The Mad Titan stepped out, with Ronan, Yondu, Nebula and his children.
"I am going to enjoy this very much." He said, pointed his glove at us.
"Sorry Quill, I got brought back to kill ya." Yondu said and started whistling.
His Yaka arrow started flying around him, but he sent it into the stomach of one of Thanos' children.
"Agh!" It said and fell over.
Yondu ran over to us.
"You really think you're daddy would leave you behind Quill?" He asked.
"EVERYONE ON THE SHIP!" I yelled and we ran for the ship.
As we started boarding, Dey and Kraglin started the engines. Rocket and I roll our seats while Drax and Gamora manned the guns, Adam and Mantis tried to put a shield over the ship.
As we flew off the last thing we heard was inside all of our heads.
"You will pay for this, I am going to make your deaths as painful as I possibly can."
