"Wait, come again, do you want me to what?" – Asked Arash confuse
"To join The Avengers, we need to capture Captain America and Winter Soldier" – said Natasha – "Mr. Stark have already approve you been there" – she explained
"No…look, I don't know what you think you saw in the assembly but I'm not like Tony Stark, I'm not a superhero, ok?" – He said to her
"Really" – she said taking out her phone and showing Arash different pictures of a man with black boots, saggy olive green pants, a white shirt with an orange vest and his head was covered with a piece of orange fabric around his head and face covering everything but his eyes that were glowing in golden – "isn't that you?" – She asked
"That's a very low budget costume for a superhero, how could you think that was me, haven't you see the clothes I wear?" – He says while laughing
"But that ring looks like yours" – she said doing a close up to his hand and then to his eyes – "and those golden eyes are the same you had on the assembly" – she said
"Still doesn't prove anything" – he said
"I know that ring is a family tradition of yours, I saw pictures of your father wearing it before you, so only you could use that and also" – she started to play a video with the same man fighting with some mercenaries and when they shoot he make a force field just like the one in the assembly – "that seems just like the one I saw in the assembly" – she said and saw surprise in Arash's eyes and she smirked satisfy – "still gonna try to deny it?" – She asked
"Still not gonna do anything about your proposition" – he said to her
"Why King T'Chaka seemed unpleased with your presence on the assembly?" – She asked
"I think the same unpleased feeling people get with Tony Stark, guess we are alike in that way" – he answered – "I got a lot of entourage around me always, but is not my fault that I have so much people around me, it was what my father and my mother wrote on their will" – he explained
"And?" – She pursued the question
"I'm not very cultural and traditional, so that's uneasy for some people…and also the fact that I'm gay" – he explained
"But that's not a secret" – she said looking confuse
"I know, it's not a secret to anybody that reads stuff about me in the media, I been linked to a lot of guys, it's not something that looks good in my culture or any other conservative one, including in Wakanda, but my family and friends have respected me for who I am" – he said to her
"So he thinks that you're a bad influence in the assembly?" – She asked
"Yeah…that and T'Challa, he and I are very good friends, so good that once in a while when paparazzi catches us they linked us as a couple in some occasions, which never seem to go right for King T'Chaka" – he explained
"So is that enough reason for not helping?" – She asked
"It's not about that, I would do anything to help T'Challa, he's a good friend and one of the few people who understands me…it's about my privacy, do you see what I use? I cover my face, use clothes people wouldn't think I use and even make my eyes glow because I don't want people to know who am I and what I can do, what happened in the assembly was an accident and.." – he was explaining
"Arash" – said T'Challa entering the room interrupting Arash– "we need your help"
"T'Challa…I…you know that I can't" – said Arash to him
"Yes you can, just…please" – said T'Challa getting close and grabbing his hands – "do it for me, the memory of my father, I know you think he despise you for your sexuality, but he just didn't like the whole media attention you get, he wanted you to have privacy and calm because he could look that you were so uneasy with everything" – he explained – "Please…help us" – he begged
"I…he said that?" – he asked to T'Challa who nodded – "…I'll try" – said Arash half smiling – "but I need a better suit" – he said and Natasha and T'Challa smirked the last one moving Arash hands close to give them a kiss and mouthed a "thank you" to him.
"I hate all masks so far" – complained Arash throwing to a side the mask he was trying – "But I like the outfit, it's an improve version of the one I used" – he said looking down at the black boots, the beige spandex pants, the orange band around his waist, the beige brussa shirt and long to the knees leather olive green jacket
"Here, try this one" – said the woman handling him a new mask, this one had a rectangular hole where the eyes were and covered the rest of his face and have a hole on top the head for hair to come out
"But what about my hair, someone could make the match with my hair style and the ring of my family just like Black Widow did" – said Arash
"Change color, loose the braid?" – She suggested
"Hmmm…right…maybe this" – he said turning to the mirror and brushing only the top of his hair turning it into a blonde color and the woman looked at him in shock – "it's an optical illusion created by my golden glow, that's why is blonde, now give me that" – he said asking for the mask and putting it on – "I feel like a ninja" – he said excited
"Something between Persian and Japanese…isn't that culture appropriation?" – said Tony entering the room
"Oh shut up" – said Arash turning around and see it was Tony Stark – "wow…Mr. Stark, so sorry" – he said looking apologetic at the man and starting to take off the mask
"Don't worry kid, it's an honor been called out by a Prince instead of the media" – he said and then a boy entered right behind him looking around the place
"This is cool, I can't believe I'm…" – said the boy and then stopped when his eyes landed on Arash – "hey…" – he said looking at him shocked
"Prince Arash, this is Peter Parker, another one for our team" – Tony explained
"I'm Spiderman" – said Peter to Arash moving closer to him and Arash brushed his hair and turned back to black and Peter mutter "wow"
"I'm Vizier" – said Arash moving and tripping stepping down from the pedestal he was standing and Peter catch him – "thanks for the catch" – he said blushing at Peter
"No hay problema" – he said and Arash looked at him weird
"I'm Persian, not Latino" – said Arash
"Oh, sorry…now I feel racist" – said Peter blushing
"Ok, boys really hate to break it up here, but let's let the Prince of Persia finish his suit so I can explain the plans for you two" – said Tony
Arash and Peter nod at him and then Arash stepped back on the pedestal for the woman to put some nails to help her fix some parts of the clothes all while Peter couldn't take his eyes off Arash who noticed that Peter was looking at him making Peter look away quickly and blush.
