Merry Christmas Everyone. I hope you all have a great and safe Christmas/holiday. Have fun and enjoy yourselves. But take time to think of those who can't be with you by distance, by illness, unable to travel or those that have past on. But also take time to think about the less fortunate.

Have Great Christmas or Holiday

and

A Happy New Year: And I hope it will be a good one!

Author's Note: I had just realised I have lost the information for this story. So I have started the info again and things will be a little different as this is now crossover with Black Widow and Fantastic Four.

Chapter .4.

Breakfast seemed to go relatively calmly. Steve had started to relax a bit around them as they didn't seem to look at him in anger or anything. The kids where just curious and loved to ask questions. Which Steve started to answer more and more confidently.

Which was good for Tony, Natasha, Yelena and Loki to see.

Suddenly a woman appears carrying a suitcase.

"Sorry traffic held me up", she says and then looks up in surprise to see Steve there.

Who shrank back a bit.

"Who is…?"
"It is Steve under my cameo gadget. So he doesn't get caught by the bastard Ross", Tony pipes up quickly after wrapping his arm around Steve.

"Hi! I am Doctor Jennifer Walters, cousin to Bruce, you can call me Jenny. And you must be Steve. I am happy to met you properly", getting the hint not to bring up why he was here.

"Hi", Steve replies nervously.

"Well I better unpack. Yelena want to help me?" Jenny asks.

"Sure. You ok Steve without me?" Yelena asks her.

"Yes thank you for the help", Steve says quietly.

"Anytime. We are connected after all", Yelena replies, "Who knows we can learn from each other"

She quickly disappears with Jenny.

"Don't let them put you off Steve. Yelena has only recently learned she doesn't have to be a killer. So she is still getting used to affection and people. Last night was one of the first times she had tried to comfort anyone. She likes you", Natasha tells him.

"Really? How could she?" Steve asks.

"Steve! You're a wonderful person and as we said anyone would be lucky enough to have you in their corner", Natasha tells him.

"But I have killed…"

"Steve we ALL have red in our ledgers. Natasha and Yelena were Black Widows. I was once called the Merchant of Death. Bruce, Betty and Jenny are Hulk's. Thor is a God who has been to war. Loki lead the invasion here even through he wasn't in control he still blames himself. Stephen feels he didn't do enough to save the Ancient One and the people in Tokyo. We ALL have our demons Steve and we WILL help you deal with yours. I promise", Tony tells him firmly.

Steve nods still a little numb.

Before they could say something a portal opens and a Chinese man pokes his head through.

"Stark! You better go after Stephen he is about to kill Richards again or throw him into the Dark Dimension", he says.

Tony sighs, "What did Richards do now, Wong?"

"Tried to open another reality portal over the Baxter Building", Wong replies.

Tony's eyes widen, "Are you serious?"

"Deadly", Wong says deadpanned.

"Shit! I am going to kill him. Ross is going to love this. I'll be on my way Wong. Can you give Steve and I a lift?" Tony asks.

"Do I look like a Taxi service?" Wong retorts and disappears.

"Bastard", Tony mutters to many's amusement.

"Who was that?" Steve asks.

"That was Wong. He is Stephen's right-hand man basically. And if he says Stephen is about to kill Reed then he is. Come on Steve lets go and save an idiot/genius", Tony sighs.

Steve hesitantly follows Tony to the cars and to his surprise Natasha follows with Peter. She shrugs.

"I want to see how Richards did this and to see what Susan will do to him. And Tony might need backup with Ross turns up", Natasha replies climbing into the backseat.

"I wanted to spend time with you and Tony!" Peter exclaims, "I want to get to know you better"

He climbs into the backseat with Natasha.
"What is it family road trip?" Tony grumbles out good naturally.

Tony opens the passenger door for Steve.

Steve hesitates, "Maybe I shouldn't go. This is for family and business…"

"You ARE family Steve. One of my soulmates and Natasha's so come on Stevie lets get going before Stephen really does the Dark dimension", Tony replies with a grin.

He hoped to get Steve out of his shell he retreated into. But it would be hard work. And he would need the help of his other soulmates and kids to do it.

Steve slowly gets into the front passengers seat and Tony closes the door and goes around to the drivers.

"FRIDAY get a route to the Baxter Building up", Tony orders as he starts the car.

"No problem Boss. You should arrive at the Baxter Building in 90 minutes with traffic", FRIDAY says over the speakers.

"Lovely. Lets hope Richards can survive till then", Tony replies flooring the engine.

Peter whoops at the speed and Natasha chuckles. Steve was silent.

Which didn't bode well for his mental health.

"Steve speak to us buddy. What do you feel right now?" Tony says to him.

"I don't know what to feel. I still feel a good bit numb", Steve admits.

"We'll have you feeling again properly in no time", Tony says trying to be positive.

"So Steve how are the others? Are they likely to break cover finding you?" Natasha asks gently.

"Oh no. I didn't think of that. They might get…"

"Steve no, no your NOT to blame!" Tony says sternly, "I'll deal with them after I save Richards. T'Challa will deal with them and make sure they don't break cover till I think of a way to tell them your in good hands", Tony assures him.

"But what if…"

"There are no what ifs Steve. T'Challa is good. He will see they stay safe", Natasha assures him, "And if he doesn't I am sure Tony can put Ross on hold again if he rings to tell the Avengers to go after them"

Peter snickers, "He had Ross on hold for 5 hours last time"

And like that mentioned person heard Tony's phone rings.
"Ross calling Boss", FRIDAY tells him.

Tony smirks at that, "I wonder if I could break that record"

Natasha and Peter smile.

"But no I have a better idea. An oldy by a goodie. I used this on Coulson once", Tony replies and answers the phone.

"Stark!..."

"Hello you reached the life sized model decoy of Tony Stark, please leave a name and message and I'll get back to you a year from Tuesday!" Tony replies happily with a smirk and wink at Steve.

And Tony hangs up and Natasha and Peter burst into gales of laughter and Steve has a small smile.

"I wonder love screwing with that mans tiny mind", Tony smirks with a laugh.

"You do that everyday of the week", Natasha points out.

"I know! It is the highlight of the week! Did you know I heard from a source that he had a dartboard with my picture on it in his office?" Tony asks them smugly.

Chuckles come from around the car.

"I also made him destroy 10 phones, 2 computers and 5 StarkPads because of what I been using to screw with his mind? I heard he shot a couple of them", Tony asks them.
"What on earth did you do?" Steve asks feeling a little lighter.

Tony smirks, "As you know Brucie and Betty are together. I might have just implied a few things and his crazy imagination did the rest"

Natasha snickers, "That would do it"

"How do you destroy a StarkPad?" Peter asks curiously.

"With a tank"

More laughter comes as they could tell Tony was being completely serious.

"I even heard he was sent a bottle of champagne congratulating him on his daughters relationship with an upstanding man", Tony says innocently.

"And you have NO clue who did it?" Natasha asks sarcastically.

"None whatsoever", Tony says cheerfully, mirth dancing in his eyes.

Everyone knew he was lying through.

"Also someone sent him a rigged pregnancy test and a bottle of expensive champagne, a congratulatory note for becoming a Hulkling-Grandfather", Tony laughs.

Oh that was funny.

"Tony how did you…?" Steve starts.

"Now, now Steve I didn't say it was me. And even if it were he had no proof. And Betty actually told her Father it was true and he fainted! When he came too everyone was watching him and Betty informed him no it was a false alarm. All with a straight face", Tony laughs.

More laughter was coming from his three passengers.

"And before any of the Avengers I sent Ross on wild goose chases across the world looking for Bruce, from the Arctic, Amazon Jungle, a Swamp in Asia, the Sahara Desert, the Gobi Desert and even the Antarctica", Tony says his eyes dancing in mirth.

"How did he keep falling for it?" Peter asks laughing.

Tony shrugs, "He just really wanted Brucie. And I REALLY wanted to screw with his mind and maybe make him lose his job if he flew of the handle too much. That didn't work but I hear it is close now"

Tony loved how these stories were showing some life in Steve's eyes.

They were not pulling up to the Baxter Building.

"Well lets go and see what damage Richards has done and if Stephen has killed him or stuffed him into the Dark Dimension yet…"

Wakanda…

"We have to go and search for him!"

"We are wanted fugitives!"

"But he could be hurt somewhere!"
"He could have hurt himself!"

"What if Ross and Stark have him at the Raft?!"

"Now I assure you that we would have heard if something like that happened. I would have heard something being the one who is help rewrite the Accords. And I am sure my sister Shuri would have told us if she got a hit on the search she did on the news for anything about Steve. Now everyone calm down and lets think on this rationally…"
