Hi everyone I've been working on this one and it's a doozy. I'm so happy I finally got to this part of the story And i have to say the twist and turns are far from over. So without further delay here it is. Let me know what you think. Enjoy ;)
"No way." Dad said.
"Dad come on we're on the clock." I said.
"I can just fly us there you just hold on tight and I'll magnetize you so you stick to me." Dad argued.
"Quit whining you big baby and close your eyes." I said
"Nora do…" he started but I put a hand on his shoulder and teleported us to Oslo. "Uh I'm gonna be sick."
"Just take a few deep breaths and you'll be fine." I said.
"Okay, I'm okay." Dad said.
"Good now how are we going to get in?" I asked.
"Through the front door how else?" He said walking in. "Hi, I'd like to take a look at the safeguards for nuclear weapons. I have a feeling they may be in danger and Id like to help."
"Mr. Stark we've been expecting you." A man with an accent said.
"Hans, right?" dad said.
"We received a call from a Miss Maria Hill saying you would be stopping by. We weren't expecting you so soon." Hans said.
"Well we're kind of on the clock here so if we can get on with this that'd be great." Dad said.
"Of course this way." Hans started but as I took a step forward he stopped. "I'm sorry miss this is a restricted area."
"She's with me." Dad said.
"Of course this way." Hans said.
We were led to the server room and we got started searching for Ultron's enemy. We started sifting through everything we could find. After hours of searching, we finally found it.
"Uh Nora, you need to get a look at this." Dad said.
"What is it?" I said walking over. "I thought you said…"
"I thought so too." Dad said.
"We need to recover whatever we can and send it back to your server." I said.
"Already on it." Dad said.
In a couple of minutes we were done and I teleported us to Avengers Tower. We arrived just minutes before the jet landed.
"Ultron got Natasha." Bruce said. "Barton should be here any minute with the cradle."
"Where's everyone else?" I asked.
"They're dealing with Ultron." Bruce said.
As soon as the jet landed Clint came out with the cradle. We moved it into the lab and started trying to get it open.
"Anything on Nat?" Clint asked.
"Haven't heard. But she's alive, or Ultron'd be rubbing our faces in it." dad answered.
"This is sealed tight." Clint said trying to pry the cradle open.
"We're going to need to access the program, break it down from within." Bruce said.
"Hm. Any chance Natasha might leave you a message, outside the internet, old school spy stuff?" dad asked.
"There's some nets I can cast." Clint said thinking about it. "Yeah, alright. I'll find her."
"I can work on tissue degeneration, if you can fry whatever operational system Cho implanted." Bruce suggested.
"Yeah, about that." Dad started and Bruce gave dad a look.
"No." Bruce said.
"Hear him out." I said.
"You too?" He said.
"You have to trust me." Dad said.
"Kinda don't." Bruce said.
"Our ally? The guy protecting the military's nuclear codes? I found him." Dad said bringing up Jarvis' consciousness.
"Hello, Dr. Banner, Doctor Stark." Jarvis greeted.
"Ultron didn't go after JARVIS cause he was angry. He attacked him because he was scared of what he can do. So JARVIS went underground. Okay? Scattered, dumped his memory. But not his protocols. He didn't even know he was in there, until I pieced him together." Dad explained.
"So, you want me to help you put JARVIS into this thing?" Bruce asked.
"No, of course not!" Dad said.
"Good cause one murder bots enough." I said.
"I want to help you two put JARVIS in this thing." Dad said making Bruce shake his head. "We're out of my field here. You know bio-organics better than anyone and Nora knows computers and codes just as well as I do not to mention she has the extra knowledge of dealing with alien technologies. I'm just here to lend a hand."
"And you just assume that JARVIS' operational matrix can beat Ultron's?" Bruce said already knowing the answer.
"JARVIS has been beating him from inside without knowing it. This is the opportunity, we can create Ultron's perfect self, without the homicidal glitches he thinks are his winning personality. We have to." Dad insisted.
"I believe it's worth a go." Jarvis agreeing with dad.
"Uh, Aya a little help here." I said and she appeared.
"Nora do as your father says. I've had a certain vision of where this leads and it's your best shot." Aya said.
I looked at her confused especially after she emphasized the word vision and that's when it hit me. Vision sounded like Jarvis, this is how Vision was created.
"Let's do it." I said.
"No, I'm in a loop! I'm caught in a time loop, this is exactly where it all went wrong." Bruce said.
"I know, I know. I know what everyone's going to say, but they're already saying it. We're mad scientists. We're monsters, buddy. You gotta own it. Make a stand." Dad said making Bruce shake his head. "It's not a loop. It's the end of the line."
"Nora, are you sure about this?" Bruce said.
"Aya and I have had our differences but I believe she's right about this. Let's let it play out and see where it goes." I said.
"I hope you're right." Bruce said and we got to work.
It was nonstop running around the lab trying to get the cradle working and uploading Jarvis into the body. It was great, I missed science.
"This framework is not compatible." I said.
"The genetic coding tower's at ninety-seven percent. You have got to upload that schematic in the next three minutes." Bruce said. Then Steve and two people turned to the lab. I recognized one of them as Wanda.
"I'm gonna say this once." Steve started.
"How about "nonce"?" dad retorted.
"Shut it down!" Steve shouted.
"Nope, not gonna happen." Dad said.
"You don't know what you're doing." Steve said.
"Yeah we do." I said.
"And you do? She's not in your head?" Bruce said.
"I know you're angry." Wanda said.
"Oh, we're way past that. I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade." Bruce said angrily.
"Banner, after everything that's happened..." Steve started.
"That's nothing compared to what's coming!" dad said.
"You don't know what's in there!" Wanda shouted.
"This isn't a game..." Steve started. I just went back to work and let them hash things out.
"The creature...!" Wanda started and her brother ran and started destroying lab equipment. Just as he was about to push me away from the monitor Aya put up a force field around me knocking Pietro down.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." I said inputting the last bit of code.
Suddenly there were gunshots and the glass floor pietro was standing on Shattered and he fell.
"Pietro!" Wanda shouted.
"What? You didn't see that coming?" Clint taunted.
Bruce grabbed Wanda by the neck and said "Go ahead, piss me off."
"Nora shield!" Aya shouted as Thor flew in and pounded the cradle with mjolnir sending bolts of lightning. Steve jumped in the way and Shielded me with his body and shield. The cradle bursted open and the body inside was brought to life.
Every one was about to jump after it but Thor stopped us. "Wait!" He shouted. Vision flew over to the window and stopped.
"I'm sorry, that was...odd." He then turned to Thor, "Thank you."
"Thor, you helped create this?" Steve asked.
"I've had a vision. A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life and at it's center is that." Thor said Pointing to the gem on Vision's head. Why did I not see that before?
"What, the gem?" Bruce asked.
"My brother" Aya said appearing.
"Brother?" I asked.
"It's the Mind Stone. It's one of the six Infinity Stones, the greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities." Thor explained.
"Then why would you bring it to..." Steve started but was interrupted.
"Because Stark is right." Aya and Thor answered at the same time.
"Oh, it's definitely the end times." Bruce said.
"The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron." Thor said.
"Not alone." Vision said.
"Why does your "vision" sound like JARVIS?" Steve asked.
"We...we reconfigured JARVIS' matrix to create something new." Dad said.
"I think I've had my fill of new." Steve said.
"You think I'm a child of Ultron?" Vision asked.
"You're not?" Steve asked conflicted.
"I'm not Ultron. I'm not JARVIS. I am...I am." Vision said struggling to find the right words.
"I looked in your head and saw annihilation." Wanda said.
"Look again." Vision said.
"Yeah. Her seal of approval means jack to me." Clint said.
"Then take my word for it. We've met before." I said looking at Vision.
"My brother may be rigid and at times, trying to deal with but he does what's right." Aya said.
"Their powers, the horrors in our heads, Ultron himself, they all came from the Mind Stone, and they're nothing compared to what it can unleash. But with it on our side..." Thor explained.
"Is it? Are you? On our side?" Steve asked Vision.
"I don't think it's that simple." Vision said.
"Well it better get real simple real soon." Clint said.
"He didn't mean it like that he's a… thinker." Aya said pinching her eyebrows together.
"I am on the side of life. Ultron isn't, he will end it all." Vision said.
"What's he waiting for?" dad asked.
"You." Vision answered making me look over at dad.
"Where?" Bruce asked.
"Sokovia. He's got Nat there too." Clint answered.
"If we're wrong about you, if you're the monster that Ultron made you to be..." Bruce started.
"What will you do?" Vision asked before realizing what Bruce was aiming at. "I don't want to kill Ultron. He's unique, and he's in pain. But that pain will roll over the earth, so he must be destroyed. Every form he's built, every trace of his presence on the net, we have to act now. And not one of us can do it without the others. Maybe I am a monster. I don't think I'd know if I were one. I'm not what you are, and not what you intended. So there may be no way to make you trust me. But we need to go." Vision picked up Thor's hammer and held it out to Thor. He was definitely worthy. Thor took the hammer and Vision walked off.
"Right." Thor said patting dad's shoulder. "Well done."
"Three minutes. Get what you need." Steve said. Aya teleported to my side and held out a black duffle bag out to me.
"What's this?" I asked taking the bag.
"A little souvenir from the future." She said. I opened it and saw that it was a suit.
"This'll work." I said starting to walk over find a place to change.
"Where are you going?" dad said.
"To go get changed." I said.
"You're not going." Dad started.
"He's right you'd be safer…" Steve started.
"I wasn't asking for permission. This is an all hand on deck situation. Fate of the world is at stake, I'm not sitting this one out so can one of you tell me where I can go get changed or do I have to waste time looking for it?" I said.
"Down the hall first door to your left." Dad said.
"Be back." I said teleporting past them and walking down the hall.
I walked into the room and stripped my clothes. I quickly put on the suit. It was all black. It was kind of like a cat suit except sleeve less and the collar had a slight V-neck. It kind of reminded me of an outfit straight out of Tron Legacy except mine didn't light up.
.
I put on the boots before picking up the elbow length fingerless tactical gloves. As I was slipping them on I noticed there was something stitched on the sides of them near the top. The left glove had the wing of Steve's helmet stitched onto it and on the other was the arc reactor symbol. I couldn't help but smile.
As I finished getting dressed there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." I said.
"Hey, you look…" Steve said.
"Yeah I know it's tight but surprisingly comfy." I said.
"I was going to say you look amazing. Are you sure about this?" Steve said.
"I'm done running. Besides If the world is ending I'd rather die knowing I did all I could to save it." I said.
"I'd feel a lot better you were safe." Steve said.
"Too bad that's not up to you." I said with a small smile.
"After all this is over, how about we go on a date?" Steve said
"You trying to wine and dine me?" I said.
"Maybe." He said with a small smile.
"Sounds like a plan, you do still owe me a dance." I reminded him as I put my arms around him.
"Too bad I still don't know how." Steve said blushing.
"I do." I said. "It's all in the leading,"
"Then you lead and I follow." He said resting his forehead against mine.
"Sounds like a plan." I said kissing him.
"We have to go." He said breaking the kiss.
"I know." I said letting go.
We walked out and went to load the jet.
"No way we all get through this. If even one tin soldier is left standing, we've lost. It's gonna be blood on the floor." Dad said.
"That's war." I said earning a look from dad.
"I get first crack at the big guy. Iron Man's the one he's waiting for." Dad said calling dibs.
"That's true, he hates you the most." Vision said as he walked by.
"Ultron knows we're coming. Odds are we'll be riding into heavy fire, and that's what we signed up for. But the people of Sokovia, they didn't. So our priority is getting them out." Steve said after we landed. After that we all headed into the city. "All they want is to live their lives in peace, and that's not going to happen today. But we can do our best to protect them. And we can get the job done, and find out what Ultron's been building. We find Romanoff, and we clear the field. Keep the fight between us. Ultron thinks we're monsters and we're what's wrong with the world. This isn't just about beating him. It's about whether he's right."
After we got there my earpiece started ringing.
"Friday who is it?" I asked.
"It's Aiden boss." Friday answered.
"Patch him through." I said.
"Where are you?" Aiden asked.
"Oh good you're up, how are you feeling?" I asked ignoring the question.
"Sore but better, where are you?" Aiden asked.
"Kind of getting ready for a fight. You may want to turn on the news." I said.
"What am I looking for?" he said.
"You'll know it when you see it. I got to go. Change your dressings and I left you painkillers on the nights stand. Don't worry they aren't opiates." I said.
"Thanks." He said before hanging up.
"Your man's in the church, boss. I think he's waiting for you." I heard Friday tell dad on the coms.
"Come to confess your sins?" Ultron taunted.
"I don't know, how much time you got?" dad retorted.
"More than you." Ultron answered.
"Uhhh. Have you been juicing? A little Vibranium cocktail? You're looking, I don't wanna say, puffy..." dad said trying to stall probably trying to figure out where the rest of the vibranium was.
"You're stalling to protect the people." Ultron caught on.
"Well, that is the mission. Did you forget?" dad said.
"I've moved beyond your mission. I'm free." Ultron said and suddenly the ground started shaking. "What, you think you're the only one stalling?"
"There's the rest of the Vibranium. Function: still unclear." Friday answered.
"This is how you end, Tony. This is peace in my time." Ultron said.
Suddenly robots started attacking the bridge.
"Go!" Steve shouted trying to get people off the bridge.
"Get off the bridge! Run!" Wanda shouted. I looked around and saw a mother holding her daughter as a robot was heading towards them. I quickly teleported to them, blasted the robot and then got them off the bridge before going and doing the same for everyone else I could.
"Ultron." I heard vision through the coms.
"My Vision. They really did take everything from me." Ultron said.
"You set the terms, you can change them." Vision said.
"Alright." Ultron said and I assumed they started fighting cause I heard punshed and the sound of metal hitting something.
"FRIDAY! The Vision?" dad asked.
"Boss, it's working. He's burning Ultron out of the net, he won't escape through there." Friday said.
"You shut me out! You think I care? You take away my world, I take away yours." Ultron said and suddenly the Earth started shaking and the bridge started falling apart.
"FRIDAY?" dad and I asked at the same time.
"Sokovia's going for a ride." Friday answered as the city started rising.
"Do you see? The beauty of it, the inevitability. You rise, only to fall. You, Avengers, you are my meteor, my swift and terrible sword and the earth will crack with the weight of your failure. Purge me from your computers, turn my own flesh against me. It means nothing. When the dust settles, the only thing living in this world will be metal." Ultron said.
"Can someone please shut him up?" I said helping an elderly lady off the bridge.
"The Vibranium core has got a magnetic field, that's what's keeping the rock together." Friday said.
"If it drops?" I asked.
"Right now the impact would kill thousands. Once it gets high enough: Global extinction." Friday answered before telling Dad "That building's not clear, Tenth floor."
"Steve look out." I called out As I saw the robots flying in.
"Cap, you got incoming." Dad said
"Incoming already came in. Stark, you worry about bringing the city back down safely. The rest of us have one job: tear these things apart. You get hurt, hurt 'em back. You get killed, walk it off." Steve said.
"Works for me." I said teleporting to the top of a building and taking out robots climbing on the side, pulling them apart.
"You can't save them all." One of the robots said.
"Watch me." I said as I pulled him apart stabbing the other robots with it's shattered pieces.
"Alright, we're all clear here." Clint called through the coms.
"We are not clear! We are very not clear!" Steve shouted. I looked over and saw that he was surrounded.
I quickly teleported over and put up a force field trapping the robots before crushing them together into a ball.
"Thanks." Steve said.
"Don't mention it." I said.
"The anti-gravs are rigged to flip. Touch 'em, they'll go full reverse thrust. The city's not coming down slow." Friday said reporting the scan.
"The spire's Vibranium. If I get Thor to hit it..." dad suggested.
"It'll crack, but that's not enough, the impact would still be devastating." Friday said.
"Maybe if we cap the other end, keep the atomic action doubling back." I suggested.
"That could vaporize the city, and everyone on it." Friday said.
"The next wave's gonna hit any minute. What have you got, Stark?" Steve asked.
"Well, nothing great. Maybe a way to blow up the city. That'll keep it from impacting the surface if you guys can get clear." Dad said.
"I asked for a solution, not an escape plan." Steve said.
"Impact radius is getting bigger every second. We're going to have to make a choice." Dad said.
"Cap, these people are going nowhere. If Stark finds a way to blow this rock..." Natasha started.
"Not 'til everyone's safe." Steve insisted.
"Steve, it's Everyone up here versus everyone down there. I don't like it either but we may not have another choice." I said.
"I'm not leaving this rock with one civilian on it." Steve said.
"I didn't say we should leave." Natasha said. "There's worse ways to go. Where else am I gonna get a view like this?"
"Glad you like the view, Romanoff. It's about to get better." Nick said appearing with what I remember dad calling a Helicarrier. "Nice, right? I pulled her out of mothballs with a couple of old friends. She's dusty, but she'll do."
"Fury, you son of a bitch." Steve said making me laugh.
"Oooh! You kiss your mother with that mouth?" Fury retorted.
"This is SHIELD?" Pietro asked as the lifeboats landed in the city.
"This is what SHIELD's supposed to be." Steve answered.
"This is not so bad." Pietro said.
"I have to agree." I said as the doors to the lifeboats opened.
"Let's load 'em up." Steve said.
"Yes! Now this is gonna be a good story." Rhodey said.
"Yep. If you live to tell it." dad said
"Love the optimism dad." I said sarcastically.
"You think I can't hold my own?" Rhodey said.
"We get through this, I'll hold your own." Dad said.
"You had to make it weird." Rhodey said.
"So weird." I said.
"Speaking of weird Nora what are you doing here?" Rhodey asked.
"Long story talk later." I said helping people on board.
"Miss Stark, some assistance if you would." Vision said.
I turned to look at Steve. "Go we got it handled" Steve said.
I put a hand on vision and I teleported us to the center of the city.
"You think you're saving anyone? I turn that key and drop this rock a little early and it's still billions dead. Even you can't stop that." Ultron said choking Thor.
"I am Thor, son of Odin, and as long as there is life in my breast, I am...running out of things to say! Are you ready?" Thor said. I blasted Ultron back right into Vision's swing. The metal of the hammer hitting the robot let out a loud clink and sent Ultron flying.
"It's terribly well balanced." Vision said.
"Well, if there's too much weight, you lose power on the swing, so." Thor explained swing the hammer.
"I got it! Create a heat seal. I can...I can supercharge the spire from below." Dad said.
"That's brilliant." I said.
"Running numbers. A heat seal could work with enough power." Friday said.
"Thor, I got a plan!" Dad exclaimed.
"We're out of time. They're coming for the core." Thor said. I looked out of the citadel and saw the robots starting to head our way.
"Rhodey, get the rest of the people on board that carrier." Dad said.
"On it." Rhodey said.
"Avengers, time to work for a living." Dad said.
Soon everyone showed up.
"You good?" Pietro asked his sister.
"Yeah." Wanda said.
"Kid?" Dad said looking me over.
"I'm okay, been through worse." I said.
"Romanoff? You and Banner better not be playing "hide the zucchini." Dad joked.
"Relax, Shell-head. Not all of us can fly." Natasha answered before she joined us. "What's the drill?"
Dad pointed to the core. "This is the drill. If Ultron gets a hand on the core, we lose." He explained just before Ultron showed up.
"Is that the best you can do?" Thor shouted. Ultron answered his taunt and called in all of his robots.
"You really had to ask." I said.
"This is the best I can do. This is exactly what I wanted. All of you, against all of me. How could you possibly hope to stop me?" ultron taunted.
"Well, like the old man said. Together." Dad said and with that we started fighting them off but they kept coming.
"That's it. I'm ending this." I said I gathered up all the energy I could around me.
"Nora what are you doing?" dad asked.
"Shit, get away now!" Steve shouted. With that I let it out.
There was a bright white light and then a blast. Lucky for me Aya had taught me to control the blast enough to avoid hitting people if I wanted to.
When the dust finally settled I had contained the blast enough to take out most of the robots but not all of them.
"Remind me never to get you angry." Dad said. I was panting and barely catching my breath. I don't remember ever getting this tired the last time I did that.
"You know, with the benefit of hindsight..." Ultron started before Hulk punched him.
"They'll try to leave the city." Thor said watching as the robots flew off.
"We can't let 'em, not even one. Rhodey!" Dad called out.
"I'm on it. " Rhodey replied.
"We gotta move out. Even I can tell the air is getting thin. You guys get to the boats, I'll sweep for stragglers, be right behind you." Steve said.
"What about the core?" Clint asked.
"I'll protect it. It's my job." Wanda said.
"How are we supposed to get out of this crater?" Natasha said. I put a hand on hers and Clint's shoulder and teleported them to thelifeboats.
"Thank you," Natasha said.
"You okay?" Clint asked.
"Yeah, just over did it a bit." I said catching my breath. "Meet you at the boats."
I went to go grab a few people before Aya appeared. "It's time to go."
"There's still people out there." I said.
"You've done your job, go." Aya said.
"Not yet." I said teleporting some kids off the top of a building and back to the boats.
"Boss, power levels are way below opt..." Friday said.
"Re-route everything. We get one shot at this." Dad said "Nora your ass better be on one of those boats."
"Getting there." I said.
"Well get there faster. You're a teleporter zap your self in onto on." Dad said.
"Thor, I'm gonna need you back in the church." Dad said.
"Is this the last of them?" Thor asked.
"Yeah. Everyone else is on the carrier." Steve said. Thor took that as his okay to go.
"You know, if this works, we maybe don't walk away." Dad said.
"Maybe not." Thor answered.
"Don't make me get over there." I said.
"Ass! Boat! Now!" Dad said sternly.
Suddenly I hear gunshots in the distance and I see Clint going to a little boy.
"Shit." I said. Quickly I teleport over and put up a force field. Turns out I didn't just Shield Clint and the kid I shielded Pietro as well.
"Didn't see that coming." I said. "We need to go."
"Da." Pietro agreed looking down at all the bullets on the ground that would have hit him. We quickly ran on board and collapsed onto the seats.
"Thank you." Pietro said.
"Don't mention it." I said.
"You okay?" Clint asked.
"It's been a long day. I could use a nap." I said.
"Know the feeling." He said laying down on the seats in front of us.
"Where's Wanda?" Pietro asked.
"Last I saw her she was still in the citadel." I said.
We boarded and helped people get checked out.
As soon the city was gone Vision arrived with Wanda and she threw herself at her brother.
"I thought you were…" Wanda started.
"I know, I thought so too." Pietro said.
"Thank you, Thank you." She said pulling me into a hug.
"It was nothing, just keep him out of trouble. He got lucky." I said patting her back and letting go.
"Nora!" dad said coming over and pulling me into a hug.
"We did it." I said.
"Yeah we did." He said kissing my forehead.
"You are such an idiot." Aya said appearing out of the blue.
"Oh what now?" I said.
"You ever think that when I tell you to do something it's for a reason!?" Aya shouted.
"Again what did I do?" I said confused.
"You interfered in the timeline! You saved him!" Aya said pointing at Pietro.
"What? Of course I saved him!" I said.
"He was supposed to die!" Aya shouted.
"What!? Why!?" I said.
"Cause it was fate!" Aya shouted.
"Fuck fate!" I shouted.
"Nora actions have consequence. His being alive will have ramifications. He needs to die." Aya said.
"No!" Wanda pleaded.
"You're not going near him. It was my choice to save him. It's on me. Any consequences I'll deal with when they happen but you don't go near him." I said.
"Are you sure?" Aya said.
"I stand by what I said." I said.
"Good." She said.
"Good?" I said confused.
"That's the Nora I chose to be my host." She said with a smirk.
"So I didn't mess with the timeline?" I said.
"Oh you did, but you were always going to make this choice. Whatever happens from here on out is on you." Aya said before disappearing.
"I'm confused now." I said.
"You know what we all survived let's call it a win." Dad said. "Whatever happens happens."
"I can live with that." I said. "Where do we go from here?"
"We land, get these people to the Stark Foundation for relocation and we go back to New York and deal with the press and fallout." Dad said.
"This ought to be fun." I said going to help out in the infirmary. Then my phone rang. "Hold that thought. Go for nora."
"Are you okay?" Sam said.
"Sam I'm fine. It's done." I said.
"Are you sure?" He said.
"I'm fine I promise. I'll stop by when I get back state side."
"You better Connor can't stop saying how much of a superhero you are." Sam said with a chuckle.
"I'm not a hero, just doing my job. Gotta go." I said.
I walked in to the infirmary and started helping out where I could. A few hours later we headed back to New York.
As soon as we landed in New York dad was rushed into a meeting with PR and I just crashed in one of the spare rooms.
I hopped in the shower and when I got out Steve was sitting on my bed changed out of his uniform and hair still wet from his shower.
"Better?" He asked.
"Loads. I feel like I could sleep forever." I said.
"I know the feeling." He said. "So I was thinking that for our date we could go on a tour of Brooklyn. I could show you all the places Bucky and I used to go to. A few of them are still open."
"Sounds good but before you do that you need to talk to Sharon." I said.
Steve sighed. "I know, she's in Berlin dealing with the fallout from Sokovia."
"You need to end things. I'm not taking things further with us until you talk to her. If we're doing this we're doing it right." I said.
"I know and I want the same thing." He said. "But until then can we get some sleep?"
"Yeah, I have a feeling tomorrow's going to be busy." Steve said.
I moved to lie on the bed. I rested my head on Steve's chest and wrapped my arms around him.
"I love you." Steve said.
"Love you too." I said.
The Next Morning-
Dad had arranged a press conference to explain to everyone what had happened and that the Avengers were relocating some where upstate.
I got up early that morning and got dressed in a beige lace top and a burgundy midi skirt. To top it of, for the first time in almost a year I wore my arc reactor necklace.
.
We sat in the green room of the Press Room at the Tower and watched as dad took the stage.
"Good Morning. Over the past week the Avengers myself included have dealt with an enemy that threatened us with Global extinction. Its name was Ultron. it was originally a peace keeping program that ended up going rogue. It not only went after the destruction of the Avengers but also that of the entire world. That is what was going to happen in Sokovia. With the help of gifted individuals the Avengers were able to avert this catastrophe but at the cost of the city. The Stark Relief foundation had already started the relocation of all the refugees of this tragedy but have also started in aiding the reconstruction of Sokovia.
In light of these events and after long debates it has been decided that the Avengers will no longer be based here at the Heart of New York City but instead at an undisclosed location upstate. This is being done to better serve the public but also to increase our resources and our staff.
That being said I will now be opening the floor to questions." Dad said and all the reporters jumped out of their seats.
"Mr Stark!"
"Tony!"
"Mr Stark!"
"Ben, always a pleasure." Dad called on a reporter.
"Is there any word on the status of the Hulk after the events of Johannesburg?" Ben asked.
"At the moment the whereabouts of the Hulk are on a need to know basis. But while we're on the subject of Johannesburg I just wanted to thank everyone for their donations to those that have been affected." Dad answered.
"Mr Stark." A blonde reporter said.
"Miss Everheart." Dad said through clenched teeth and suddenly everyone went tense.
"Okay why is everyone so tense?" I asked.
"Uh," Steve said looking nervous.
"She's not exactly you're dad's biggest fan." Clint started.
"Why? Oh… dad slept with her." I said realizing what they were getting at.
"Yeah." Natasha said.
"Mr. Stark there were reports of a huge blast before the city was destroyed. Of the three individuals that aided the Avengers it is believed this woman" She said taking out a blurry picture of me hugging Steve before getting on the ship. "Was the one responsible for it. Who is she? Where did she come from? What is her relationship with Captain America?"
Dad suddenly didn't know what to say.
'You know what you have to do' Aya said.
"What about that future?" I said.
'You're not the same Nora as the one in that timeline. Thing's are different and so are you. It's time.' Aya said.
"Well that's my cue" I said getting up and walking out of the room into the Press room.
"Uh…" dad started.
"I think I should be the one to answer that." I said walking towards the podium.
"Kid what are you doing." Dad said in a low voice.
"Something I promised you a long time ago." I said. "Hi everyone, so you've all seen the footage of Sokovia and obviously have a lot of questions. To answer Miss Everheart's questions I'm from Dallas, My relationship with the Captain is for me to know and you to speculate about. And lastly my name's Nora Stark." That sent everyone into a frenzy.
"Miss Stark!"
"Mr Stark."
"Ben, I believe your name is?" I said.
"Yes thank you. Miss Stark what is your relation to Mr Stark?" ben asked.
I turned to dad and he put an arm around my shoulders.
"Nora's my daughter who I am unbelievably proud of right now. She didn't die in childbirth as you all believed but instead was raised out of the spotlight because let's face it you guys are a handful." Dad said making everyone laugh. "With that I think we should end things early. Have a great day."
Dad ushered us off the stage and into the green room.
"I don't know what to say." Dad said.
"It was a long time coming, plus it totally got them off your back about everything else." I said.
"I just can't believe that you actually did It." dad said.
"Yeah me either but fresh start though I do have to apologize over how hard I just made Pepper's job." I said.
"Oh shit. Pepper!" He said pulling out his phone. "For the record I did stick to the cards this time." I heard dad say as soon as she picked up.
"So you're officially a celebrity." Steve said.
"Yeah, I'm gonna have to make a few calls." I said pulling my phone out.

"With that I think we should end things early. Have a great day."
"Well there you have it Tony Stark is a dad, I repeat Tony Stark is a dad." The news reported said.
"That explains lot" Coulson told May.
"You never picked up anything while you were working with Stark?" May said.
"The man knows how to keep a secret." Coulson said.
"He blurted out to the world he was Iron man." May deadpanned.
"Secrets he actually wants to keep." Coulson said.

"I have to get back." Sharon told one of her cousins.
"That's amazing, that's the Nora Aunt Peggy talked about in all those stories. She's amazing." Her cousin answered.
"Cassidy move." Sharon said moving past her cousin.
"Jeez Sharon calm down, you know Steve's okay besides all flights are still delayed just take a day." Cassidy told her cousin.
"No I need to get there now!" Sharon shouted.
"Gosh don't throw a tantrum." Her cousin said before leaving her alone.
'This can't be happening that bitch is ruining everything. Steve is mine, mine!' She thought to herself. 'There was no way I'm losing to her, she should have stayed dead. There's no way he'll leave me."

Bucky couldn't take his eyes off of the TV. There she was, one of the loves of his life. She was with her father and with Steve and she looked happy. He missed her and wanted to be with her and Steve but he wasn't ready.
"Good for you Doll." He said with a smile before putting money on the table and walking out of the café.
Nora's POV-
After I made the necessary calls to certain people specifically my new boss, I teleported to Sam's house.
"Auntie Nora." Connor said jumping into my arms.
"Hey buddy." I said spinning him around.
"You're a hero!" he said.
"No I'm not, I was just helping." I said.
"So it's official?" Sam said walking in.
"It is now." I said.
"How do you feel?" Sam said.
"Like I'm never going to be able to go out in sweats or have a bad hair day again." I said with a chuckle.
"I think that's just part of it." Sam said laughing a bit.
"Yeah, So listen I talked to Aiden and I think I know where to spread Wren's ashes." I said.
"Really? Where we going?"
"I thought that he would want to go home and that we should spread them in the meadow where his parents are buried but he never really went there and he never called it home…"
"I think I know what you're talking about." Sam said
"Yeah, I was thinking we get Connor to maybe make something like a plaque or an ornament. Get one of those handprint things for Ellie."
"That could be nice, help Connor move past this." Sam said.
"Us too… With everything that happened I've been too focused on my problems I didn't even ask how you've been handling it." I said "So how are you?"
"I miss my best friend." Sam said. "Never realized how involved Wren was until he wasn't… you know every morning before a big court case he would stop by and bring me an espresso from some café in Rome and packed dinner so I could just come home and relax?"
"Whenever I was having a bad day at work he would go buy me a pint of half baked and dinner from a pasta shop in Venice." I said.
"He was the best." Sam said tearing up.
"He really was." I said tearing up. "So listen I should get going, I have to go check up on Aiden and then I have dinner with dad."
"How are things going with that?" Sam asked.
"You mean after we went to a therapist who wanted to have us both committed because of our issues and I yelled out everything I've kept pent up for fifty four years?" I said. "We're a work in progress."
"That's a start." Sam said.
"So I was thinking Saturday I should have the house set up by then, how about you and the kids come over for brunch?" I said. "We maybe even make it a tradition?"
"Yeah, that sounds great." Sam said smiling.
"I'll call you tomorrow." I said before teleporting to the ranch.
"Aiden?" I called out,
"In here." He said.
I walked into the living room and saw him making himself comfortable on the couch.
"How'd you get down here?" I said.
"Took the stairs." He said. "I saw the press conference, so it's official."
"Yup, Tony Stark has a daughter." I said. "I'm said daughter."
"That's all the news can talk about, that and Sokovia." Aiden said. "How are you dealing with that?"
"Not going to be able to sleep well for a while but What's done is done. Listen I had a bit of an epiphany and I don't think England's the place to go for Wren."
"Figured you'd change your mind." Aiden said. "So where we doing this?"
"Home." I said.
That Night-
I got dressed in a navy A-line dress with a v-neck and some black Manolo heels. I wore my matching Arc reactor necklace and a black clutch.
.
I walked out of my room and teleported to the tower.
"Wow." Steve said.
"What too much?" I asked.
"No you look beautiful." Steve said coming over and holding me close.
"Paws off Spangles it's father daughter time." Dad said walking in. "Damn now I feel under dressed."
"You're wearing a suit that's all you need." I said. "I'm ready whenever you are."
"Let's go." He said.
"See you later." I said kissing his check before following dad.
As soon as we got to the restaurant the media was at the entrance waiting for us.
"Ready for your first encounter with the paparazzi?" dad asked.
I pulled out a pair of shade that matched dad's. "I am now." I said.
Dad got out of the car and came over to open my door. I got out and we walked right in ignoring the photographers.
"Not bad kid." Dad said.
"Years of watching you do it." I said.
We sat down and ordered a glass of wine and some appetizers.
"So how'd Pepper take me hijacking your press conference?" I asked.
"Pretty well, I mean she's used to me ignoring the cards she said it was a good change of pace to have to clean up someone else's mess. She also said the wholesome dad image gave our stock a boost so yay." Dad said.
"Wholesome dad image… definitely a big jump for billionaire playboy." I said.
"Yeah, I still can't believe you…"
"I can't either… How do you do it? All those vultures just waiting for anything to pick apart."
"Years of practice and learning to not care and ignore them." Dad said. "Any trouble from work or any reporters illegally invading your privacy?"
"Not yet but then again I teleport everywhere so I don't really give them a chance." I said.
"How's the move going?"
"It's good, everything I'm taking with me is all packed up, the new furniture's being delivered tomorrow and I start work in two weeks." I said.
"You seem excited." Dad said.
"I'm head of my ER, Of course I'm excited." I said.
"You're head of the ER?! You're like twenty two." Dad said.
"I know, add another notch to my belt." I said.
"We need to toast this." He said.
Dinner went well, I decided to go back to the new house and spend my first night there getting used to everything. Steve of course decided he wasn't going to leave me alone so he came with me. We sat down on the couch and started talking.
"I like your house." Steve said walking in. "It's homey."
"Yeah, Wren bought it for me and left it to me in his will. He knew what I liked." I said.
"When do you start work?" Steve asked.
"On Monday, it's time I get back to normal or well relatively normal." I said.
"You know the offer still stands you can still join the team." Steve said.
"As much as I appreciate the offer, Sokovia was a one time thing. I'm retired from the fight. I did it for thirty years I'm better off focusing on being a doctor." I said.
"Well it'll be good to have my own personal doctor after missions." He said wrapping his arms around me.
"Just come back." I said.
"I will, I'm never leaving you again." He said kissing me.
I put my hand on the back of his head and the other on my shoulder. I should push him away. We shouldn't be doing this but it might have been the wine making me want him so much that I didn't.
SMUT-
.
"Mh, Nora." He moaned as he started kissing down my neck.
"Steve." I moaned
"I need you babygirl." He said sucking on my sweet spot.
The combination of what he was doing and the pet name we're really tuning me on. I moved to straddle his lap and kissed him. Steve put his hands on my hips and I started rolling my hips. I started to feel how affected Steve was. When I moved my hand to feel him he gasped.

/gallery/user/sunnystuff/media/bWVkaWFJZDoxNjQyNzgyMjU=/?ref=
"Mh uh." I moaned. Steve started to slowly move his hands lower until he gently started squeezing my butt. "Fuck." I moaned.
"So beautiful." He whispered as he started kissing my collarbone.
"Steve." I moaned.
"I know baby." He said rolling us over.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too." I said
"Where's your room?" He asked.
With that I teleported us to the only room that was completely set up.
"That's going to take some getting used to." He said.
"One or two more times and you'll be good." I said pulling him into another kiss. I slowly started unbuttoning his shirt but he stopped me.
.
"Tonight's all about you. I have seventy years to catch up on. I better get started." He said kissing down my neck to my breasts.
He slowly moved down the bad and lifted my dress up. Steve started kissing up my thigh and kissed the edge of my underwear. I lifted my hips up and slid my under wear off.
Steve slowly kissed down until he hit just the right spot.
"Ah!" I moaned but that just purred him on.
.
I lost track of how many times Steve made me come but when he finally let up I rolled him onto his back and started unbuttoning his shirt.
"My turn" I said.
I slowly kissed down his chest. I kissed his nipple and slowly started sucking on it.
"Nora!" He groaned.
"Sh, I'm not even getting started." I said but Steve just flipped us over.
"Tease later I need you babygirl." He said.
"Then we're both a little over dressed." I said.
Steve quickly moved us to our side and undid the zipper of my dress. While I was distracted slipping off my dress he quickly got his clothes off.
"Wow." He said.
"You're pretty wow yourself." I said with a smirk.
"Are you sure?" he asked always the gentlemen.
"If you don't want to I'm sure I…" I started but he quickly pulled me into his arms and slid into me. He was bigger than I remembered. "Shit." I moaned.
"So tight." Steve groaned. He waited for us both to adjust before setting a steady pace.
.
"Ah." I moaned.
"You feel so good babygirl" Steve said, his Brooklyn accent slipping through.
"You make me feel so good handsome." I said.
At the mention of his pet name Steve flipped us over so I was on top. I kept a slow pace but I needed more.
. /tumblr_m2xedjEhsX1qgfm4lo1_
"Steve." I moaned. "I need, want…"
"What do you need baby/" He said sitting up and putting his hands on my bottom as he sucked on one of my breasts.
"Go faster… Harder." I moaned.
"Whatever you want." He said moving us over and pounding into me.
"Yes!" I screamed in pleasure.
"So good, you're gonna come baby,"
"Ah Steve!" I said as he hit just the right spot inside of me. I put my legs around his waist and pushed the heels of my feet into his cheeks.
"Yes, yes!" moving faster until I jolted as he hit my cervix.
"AH!" The pain mixing with the pleasure surprising me.
"Shit." He said slowing down.
"Don't stop, keep going please, I'm so close." I whined.
"Whatever you want baby." He said going again.
"Steve!" I shouted as I came.
"Nora!" He said as I felt him cum inside of me.
When he was done he moved to my side and pulled me over.
"That was incredible." He said "I don't remember when I cummed that hard."
End SMUT-
"It was one for the books." I said. "I love you."
"I love you too babygirl." He said.
"I like it when your accent comes out, very endearing." I said.
"Good to know." He said making me laugh
Saturday May 9th, 2015-
I woke up that morning feeling refreshed. I got dressed in a white off the shoulder top and blue and white striped shorts. I wore my arc reactor necklace and my origami crane necklace with my engagement and wedding rings.
.
The boxes of all my things arrived on Thursday and I managed to unpack everything in two days. I kept my promise and had Sam and the kids over for brunch. After we finished eating we decided to head to the ranch where Aiden was still crashing.
"I have everything we just have to find the right spot." I said.
"How about at the edge of the property closed to the lake?" Aiden suggested.
"He did spend a lot of time over there." Sam said.
"Good water access for the tree." I said. "Let's do it."
. .
One short walk later we had the right spot. Sam dug the hole. I put the ashes in with the tree and Aiden covered it up.
"One of us should probably say something." Sam said.
"I'll go." Aiden said. "Growing up everything was constantly changing my only constant was my brother. My first day of training I couldn't sleep because one of the instructors broke one of my ribs during training. I remember I was crying because it hurt so much. Wren looked down from the top bunk and saw what was going on. He teleported to the infirmary and stole some painkillers for me. I was four and he was six so it amazes me how even at that age he was already putting others before himself. I hope to one day be as selfless as that."
"Even on his last day he was always making sure we were going to be okay after he was gone." I said.
"He was a true brother." Sam said. "I had a plaque made."
Wren Alexander Spencer
"Move forward but never forget what's behind you"
It's perfect." I said.
Sam put the plaque at the bottom of the tree. Aidan hung an old rusted throwing knife that had some initials on one of the branches. Sam hung a plaster mold of Ellie's hand. Connor hung a Christmas ornament of a rocket Wren had helped him make. I pulled out a clear plastic ornament with a silver charm of a pair of shoes with wings on them. I also put in a charm with the arc reactor symbol and one of a Paper crane that matched mine.
"What's with the winged shoes?" Aiden asked.
"Inside joke from when we met. The first time I teleported with him I said he could give Hermes a run for his money." I said.
"The messenger god? Funny." He said.
"What now?" I asked.
"I'm going back out, I found snow once, I can do it again." He said.
"How about this time you call for back up before you get pinned down?" I said.
"You sure you're not going to be too busy?" He said.
"I'll make time." I said.
"Forgot who I was talking to." He said with a smirk.
"You have to head back?" I asked Sam.
"Yeah, I kind of have a business dinner later today." He said.
"I'll take the kids I owe Connor a visit to Avengers Tower." I said.
"You sure?" Sam asked.
"Of course." I said.
