With the unspoken agreement that JARVIS' plan would work the best for everyone, the group took about an hour to get settled into their villa. Once bags were unpacked and sunscreen was applied, the heroes were suited up for a low profiles day at the most magical place in the world. The maximum disguise Tony was willing to dawn was a large, and very expensive, pair of black Bentley sunglasses. While the girls decided on more of a camouflage, trying to blend in the with the other guests. Wearing one of Steve's Brooklyn Dodgers caps backwards on her head, her feet strapped into a pair of high-top converses and a Mickey Mouse printed Vera Bradley backpack slung over one shoulder, Lex looked ready for adventure.
Rachelle was wearing flip-flops and a breezey turquoise sundress that matched the highlights in her hair. A wristlet, printed with a scene from Lilo and Stitch, held her cell phone and the few other things she would need for the day. Steve chose to match his girl with a baseball cap on his own head and a pair of reading glasses with false lenses to cover most of his face. Sam and Rhodey didn't need much of a disguise as neither of them would attract half the attention that Steve, Tony or his daughter would. So they both slapped on their Magic Bands and the standard pair of sunglasses before leading the way to the hotel's bus stop.
Their masquerade seemed not to draw any attention as they traveled from the hotel to the Magic Kingdom's main entrance without incident. At the gate however, their small party was pulled aside by one of the Cast Members.
"I'm so sorry to trouble everyone." The man frowned. "As I'm sure you realize, you folks have been identified by another one of our Cast Members. Let me be the first to welcome you all to the Magic Kingdom! Mr. & Miss. Stark, Captain Rogers, Mr. Wilson, Colonel Rhodes, Miss Miller! Mickey and his friends are so happy to have you here today, but I'm afraid there's a small policy issue we have to discuss before you can enter the park."
"Policy Issue?" Now Steve was frowning too. They hadn't even walked into the park yet. What in the world could they be in violation of?
"Yes, we have concerns about Mr. Stark's concealed weapon in his backpack." As if in a TV sitcom, the entire group glared at Tony in unison.
"Let's all relax for a minute." Tony rolled his eyes. "We're not talking a hand grenade or a rocket launcher here. It's a small Pulsor glove that'll only work for me. Not like I'm about to leave it lying around anyway. Plus I have a certified letter, counter signed by my dear friend, Mr. Bob Iger." He reached slowly into his bag, so as to not alarm the Cast Member, and produced said letter. Just then a second Disney employee came rushing out before the first even have time to look at the letter.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Stark! We just received an email explaining your situation. Please accept my apologies. I'm sure you can understand with a company this big it sometimes takes time for information to trickle down from Mr. Iger to us. I will be sure to reshare this information with the Main Entrance teams at the other three parks as well so that this confusion doesn't happen again."
"No problem." Tony shrugged before stuffing the letter back in his bag. "Who wants a churro?"
"That's it?" Rachelle asked. "We can just...go in now?"
"They say they were sorry, kid. Now c'mon!" He waved everyone forward again.
"I brought a pocket knife to school in fourth grade and I got suspended for a week." Rachelle complained as she followed Sam away from the two cast members. "Tony brings a military grade weapon to Disney World and it's 'come right on in'!"
"The perks of being a Stark." Lex smirked. "Where to first?"
"Space Mountain. It's a classic." Tony said.
"The dumbo ride!" Rachelle squealed. "They were in all the Disney commercials when I was a kid."
"No way. Teacups first. Trust me you don't want to go on those things after you've had lunch." Sam's face seemed to turn green just from the memory of a past vacation.
"It's going to be a long week..." Lex smiled widely before leading everyone to Adventureland, towards Pirates of the Caribbean, her personal favorite ride.
A/n: So I know this chapter was kind of short, but I can promise you the next one will be a long one. Because the next one will be the last one! Now hold on there, put down your pitchforks or tissues. (Whichever is more appropriate.) Lex, Tony and the gang will be back in a new story following the end of this one! Basically I want to start the Age of Ultron timeline soon, and I really want Ultron and Civil War to each be their own stories. I'll post the final Chapter for Melting Hearts of Iron and Ice either Friday or Saturday. At the same time, I will post the first chapter of the sequel. (Which I have yet to name.) That way you guys wont have to wait long after finishing the first story! For more information/questions you can always send me a PM!
