Chapter .1.
Tony mumbles to him trying to think what he could do to fix his coming problem. His problem only his family knew about.
Yes that is right he had a family.
16 wives as soulmates and a lot of biological and adopted children. Now all his spouses lived with him. One of AWOL. One lived as the Supreme Sorcerer of Earth. Two were mutants and went between Xavier's School for gifted youngsters and his tower. One was thought to be dead. The rest did stay and he was grateful to them. And not all of them were totally human. They kept him grounded and knew ALL his secrets.
He just didn't know how to tell the team he was deaf. Yes that was right he was mostly deaf. But his special hearing aids made him able to hear better then any human and some mutants.
But the invisible hearing aids had started to irate his ears and he needed to find a way to solve that problem and hopefully quickly.
Besides his spouses he had many children. Adopted and biological. The adopted had been abandoned for being mutants or having powers or disabilities. He took them all in knowing what it felt like to be different.
Another fun fact he had 6 adopted sisters. 5 older and 1 younger. And they were the biggest bad asses you could ever met. And another fun fact is that Howard wasn't as much as a bastard as he made him out to be. Why else would he adopt 6 girls?
Next was some friends he had since children. Reed Richards and his wife Susan Storm, Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm. Betty Ross the daughter of the asshole Thaddeus Ross. Matt Murdock a blind lawyer. Peter Quill who was an outer space Guardian. Richard Parker who died a few years ago. Jeff Tracey and his soulmate Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward. Warren Worthington the Third, Jean-Paul and Jeanne-Marie Beaubier who were Mutant and Hope van Dyne to piss of her Father who hated the Starks.
He had three nieces and two nephews. Which he adored as much as his children.
The Avengers Tower had been changed to house HIS family on the first 5 levels with the Avengers on the floors below it and the remaining SHIELD members below that. Which included the New Director Phil Coulson.
The old Director Nick Fury (Who was actually Tony's Godfather) was doing super spy stuff in Europe and everyone thought he was dead so he couldn't exactly run SHIELD could he?
So he had Coulson do it with Maria Hill his Deputy.
He was trying to figure out when to tell his team he was deaf. Rogers was sure to kick him off the team. But maybe he would keep him on because of Tony's other gifts. Who knew?
Tony was bought out of his thoughts but JARVIS telling him the Avengers alarm was going off. He needed to tell his spouses he was going out. Oh joy this would be fun...
Tony was blasting through the HYDRA base. They had been called to deal with HYDRA Agents with Chitauri weapons.
The Avengers had bought along Sam Wilson the Falcon and Rhodey as War Machine as part of this mission. Steve said it would be more eyes in the sky. And it was time to build trust with him.
Tony wasn't so sure. It was just a feeling he had. A gut instinct.
He was proven right when he sees a HYDRA Agent focusing on Falcon. He went to block an attack when the blast was more then he thought and left his head spinning. Pain hit his ears as he hits a tree.
He couldn't hear Steve barking orders and telling him off for not helping or Natasha's call of his name.
He hits the ground holding his head and his ringing ears. He doesn't even hear Natasha come up too him…
Natasha had just seen the hit that Tony took for the Falcon. And heard Steve barking orders not seeing that Tony was down. He just was saying for Tony to follow orders for once.
"Tony!" Natasha calls through the comms.
But she doesn't get an answer. She curses colourfully in Russian. That could only mean one of three things. One his comms were knocked out. Two he was unconscious and three he couldn't hear her.
Yes that was right she knew his secret.
Of course she did she was his eldest sister.
She needed to get to him and fast. So she shoots any solider that gets in her way and finally gets to Tony's side. He was holding his ears with his hands over the metal.
"Tony?" Natasha calls.
He doesn't answer.
"JARVIS open the helmet", Natasha orders, "Override Russian Sister 1955"
"Done Agent Romanoff", JARVIS says out loud.
Tony's helmet opens up and she sees some blood near his ears.
She curses again. He wouldn't be able to hear a word anyone said now.
'Stark where the hell are you? Can't you follow orders? We are about down here can you get the Hulk?' Steve says through the comms.
"Captain Shut up Stark is injured and I'm helping him", Natasha says through the comms.
'How bad?' Steve asks.
'Is Tones alright?' Rhodey asks.
"He will live", Natasha says simply but knew his hearing problem was probably going to come out.
'If Stark is complaining about a broken nail…', Clint starts.
"Barton shut up and YOU deal with the Hulk", Natasha orders.
She knew despite Clint's snarkiness he was actually worried. As the two of them loved to full pranks together.
Natasha knew she needed to get his attention. So she slowly reached out and touched his leg. He jumps and looks at her with wide eyes.
Natasha types a message on her wrist communicator that Tony built for all his family. Then takes his hand off his ears and touches his fingers too it. A slight blue light comes on between Tony's fingers and the communicator. Signalling that Tony was reading the message.
The thing was Tony was a mutant. He was a technopath. Able to control and communicate with any technology. So typing a message on her wrist communicator Tony could touch it and 'read' the message.
'Tony can I get the armour off?' – Natasha's message said.
Tony nods.
Before Natasha could get the armour off. Steve, Rhodey, Sam, Thor all turn up.
"What's wrong with him?" Steve asks.
"Stark I'm sorry you took that hit for me", Sam says.
"Tony you alright?" Rhodey asks looking worried.
"Man of Iron are you well?" Thor asks.
"Tony? Stop ignoring us…", Steve starts.
"Everyone shut up!" Natasha says too them glaring at them.
They all look at her in surprise.
"JARVIS can you take off the armour? He won't be able to fly it back", Natasha says to the AI.
"Of course Ma'am", JARVIS replies.
Steve, Rhodey, Sam and Thor frown when does JARVIS obey anyone of them. Especially Natasha?
The armour comes off and Natasha once again types a message and had Tony's fingers on the communicator.
'How bad is the pain?' – Natasha had typed.
"An 8 and ringing", Tony mumbles his voice sounded off to his teammates.
Natasha nods she needed to get him home. She sent a message to Tony that she was going to take him to the Quinjet and sent a message to the tower to Tony's spouses.
"Lets get him to the jet", Natasha says out loud to the other teammates.
To their surprise Natasha helps Tony and Tony doesn't complain once. But he doesn't even acknowledge them.
They were met at the Quinjet by Bruce and Clint.
"What is wrong? How bad is it?" Bruce asks looking at Tony worriedly.
As Tony wasn't responding to questions and he was a bit wobbly.
"Clint get us home", Natasha orders having sat Tony down.
Clint nods and hurriedly starts the jet and gets them on the journey home.
'Can you hear anything brother?' – Natasha types for him to use his powers to 'see'.
"No", Tony mumbles.
"I need to check him out Natasha", Bruce says.
"He will be fine to we get to the Tower. People will be waiting for us there", Natasha replies firmly.
"He needs to be seen. He could have serious injuries", Rhodey argues.
"He is bleeding from his ears", Sam points out.
"I know. But he is not going to bleed out in one hour", Natasha replies.
For the hour the other Avengers watch Tony and Natasha who don't speak. But seem to be communicating in some way.
"Why can't Tony just cooperate?" Steve says with a sigh.
"It is just how he is. And we don't know what happened yet so we can't judge", Bruce points out.
"He doesn't like showing weakness. Learnt that from Howard", Rhodey says looking at his friend worriedly.
"Fine. But I want answers", Steve replies.
"So do we all", Clint comments, "Since when are Nat and Tony friends?"
That had been going on through their minds too. How come Tony and Natasha were suddenly so comfortable around each other now?
Steve sent a message to Coulson to prepare for their arrival.
Soon hopefully they will get answers…
Author's Note: What do you think? Please Review:)
Yes I made Tony disabled. I just like doing it that way.
