Captain O'Malley open the door to the interrogation room and ushered Dr Stark into the room. He gave a brief nod to his officer waiting in the room before exiting the room leaving the three of them behind.

"So, is it Miss, Ms. or Mrs.?" Stark said as he pulled out a chair from across the woman as sat down.

"Mrs.," Celestyn Tyma asked as she brushed a few strains of hair from her face. While it was obvious that the woman in question was at least a decade older than Stark, she was still a very attractive woman. "Is it Dr or Mr. Stark?"

"Technically it's doctor, I do hold several doctorates, but people tend to forget that," Stark answered.

"People like to forgot about the mind behind the playboy. It makes it easier for them to talk down about a person when they believe the person is too stupid to understand the insults," Tyma stated. "Which is something that you encourage or used to encourage."

"It's a bit like a beautiful woman would encourage a man to see her helpless innocent side before she stabs him in the back or marries him. Whatever she's plotting," Stark countered.

"A smart woman learns to manipulate the men in her life at an early age. If they don't then they are the ones who are used," Tyma stated.

"Daddy's little girl," Stark replied.

"With five older brothers, it was a matter of survival," Tyma stated.

"Never had the pleasure of having a sibling," Stark stated.

"I am sorry for that. From your family history, I know that your parents had unsuccessful to have children before you suddenly appeared," Tyma commented.

"The surprise baby when they had all but give up," Tony stated.

"The child that was destined to be," Tyma replied.

Tony let out a soft snort before changing the topic. "So, Wanda Maximoff."

"Someone I wish was never born or had died in the place of her parents along with her brother," Tyma stated.

"I can definitely feel the love there," Tony replied.

Tyma chuckled softly. "I image I make quiet the impression on the New York social circle."

"And beyond. I image they're going to up the security on these things," Stark added in.

"Metal detectors. Guard dogs. Security officers," Tyma listed off some possible changes to social events.

Tony nodded his head. "Until it gets too uncomfortable. Can't have security walk in on someone sharing an intimate moment with someone who is not their spouse."

"Or the dogs sniffing out the little pick me up they have on hand," Tyma suggested.

Tony nods his head. "It's not like you can't bar the press from these events."

"Ah yes, the press. I'm assuming they took some interesting photo of what happen," Tyma said grimly.

"Undoubtedly. I'm sure that the photos will be online by now or in morning news. Minus those that the police confiscate," Tony commented.

"There will be many who feel relieved that she is dead," Tyma state. "There were many who were upset that she was named as Avenger; that her crimes were ignored."

"Her and her brother aiding Ultron," Tony said softly.

"Partly. Did you have a chance to read Hydra's file on the twins?" Tyma asked.

Tony shook his head. "No. The decisions to add Miss Maximoff to the roster was already made."

Tyma's eyes widen in surprise. "I was under the impression that all the Avengers agreed to her inclusion."

"As I'm sometime reminded, I'm just the consultant," Stark stated.

Tyma looked at Tony in surprise before adding, "And since you're the one they blame for Ultron…"

"My opinion didn't matter," Stark stated.

"And if your opinion did count, what would you have said?" Tyma pressed.

Stark stared at the assassin for a moment before saying, "Miss Maximoff was a dangerous individual and not just due to her ability. I believe that she needs to go through a great deal of therapy, especially after losing her brother before anyone should consider giving her the option to join the Avengers."

Tyma was quiet for a moment before saying, "That was rather… politically correct of you."

Tony let out a snort of amusement.

"Based on the Hydra's document on her, I would say she's bat shit crazy. Not only that, if she doesn't like you for any reason she's more likely to mind rape you until you're her willing puppet, drive you to kill yourself or worst have those around you; your friends and loved ones, turn against you," Tyma explained.

The jaw muscle in Tony's face tighten slightly as he listens to Tyma.

"It's my opinion, that for the good of the world, Maximoff need to be put down for the dog she was," Tyma finished saying.

"Which I believe you did," Tony replied

Tyma barely nodded her head in agreement, "But not for the good of the world."

"Then for what reason? Was it orders? I'm assuming you're some type of agent or assassin for the Sokavia government," Tony asked. "Ordered to remove… an embarrassment?"

"I was any agent but I retired recently," Tyma said with a smirk. "I was more intelligent, less assassination or honey trap like the type Ms. Romanova prefers. When you based your career on your looks and willingness to sleep with almost anything; you have a rather limited career but then again that was the nature of the Soviet Red Room Project. There is always a younger model available to replace you."

"I notice that you didn't say if you were order to kill Maximoff or not," Stark pointed out.

"No," Tyma replied. "It was a gift."

"A gift?"

Tyma nodded her head. "To be the one to bring peace to all the family; to bring peace to the dead."

"For Ultron? For her siding with him?" Tony askes

Tyma looks at Tony for a moment before saying, "You're concern that they'll come after you for your part."

Tony open his mouth to reply only to shut it, without a word being spoken.

"If someone slips a drug into a girl's drink and then rapes her when the drug take affect; do you blame the girl for the rape or the person who did the act?" Tyma asked.

Tony shook his head. "It's not the same thing. What Maximoff did… it's not the same," Tony countered.

Tyma was quiet for a moment as she studied Tony. "Why do you think the other Avengers were so accepting of Maximoff?"

Tony looked at her in surprise at the sudden change of topic.

"My colleagues… former colleagues were debating on the theories. The favorite theory is that Mr. Roger is sleeping with her," Tyma stated.

Tony let out a laugh. "Steve sleeping with Wanda? Well that is a picture I never wanted. Steve seems to have the opinion that Wanda was more of a child than adult so I don't think there were sleeping together."

"And the rest of the Avengers?" Tyma asked.

"What Steve wants, Steve gets," Tony replied.

Tyma looked at Tony in surprise. "And no one complains?"

"I do," Tony replied. "Natasha probably doesn't trust Wanda. I don't think she trust anyone. Clint is feeling guilty over Wanda's brother death so he probably sided with her for that reason. Wilson has a bad case of Captain America fanboy lust, so Steve got his vote. Bruce did a runner, which was not unexpected and Point Break… Thor was off planet."

"And you are the consultant," Tyma chimed in.

"And I am the consultant," Tony agreed. "So, what were some of the other ideas throw about for the Avenger accepting Wanda?"

"Roger trying to create a precedent in order to protect SGT Barnes," Tyma stated.

"Except that the two case are nothing like. Maximoff voluntary to join Hydra, just like she joined Ultron. Barnes is a decorated soldier who was capture by enemy forces, torture and brain wash to follow their command. The majority of the world will accept Barnes… after being deprogramed. I'm sure that the information in Barnes's head will uncover a number of skeletons… literal and figurate," Stark stated.

Tyma nodded her head. "Syphilis."

"Roger?" Tony said in disbelief and shock

"Late stage, and while the Super Solder Serum is healing Rogers of the disease, it's still affecting his mind," Tyma explained.

"At that point you can argue Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease," Tony suggested. "Mad cow disease in human. First discover in the 1920, it's possible that Roger is infected."

"That was suggest but it was rather low on the list since it was view as a more 'recent' disease than something like Syphilis," Tyma admitted. "Brain tumor"

"Parasites," Tony suggested

"Lupus," Officer Tackleberry chimed in suddenly

Tyma and Tony turned and looked at the officer in surprise, having forgot that the officer was in the room.

"Sorry. I binged on House M.D. last night and it seems like one of the doctors always suggested Lupus when they're were play 'guess the disease," Tackleberry offered as an explanation.

"After this insightful conversation, I can see Rogers have a through physical," Tony admitted as he turned back to Tyma.

"Including a colonoscopy," Tyma suggest with a smirk.

Tony chuckled. "Well he is old enough to need one.

Tyma and Tony shared a brief smile before Tyma turned more somber.

"It's horrible for me to say but I hope that you find something wrong with him. A disease, a parasite… her influence on him. Something to explain why he didn't allow her to face justice," Tyma stated.

"What did they do? What did Wanda and her brother do to you?" Tony asked.

"A parents greatest fear is the death of their child… I think an accident or a disease… something that wasn't anyone's fault would make it easier," Tyma said softly.

"They killed your child," Tony stated.

Tyma nodded her head. "My son, Mateuz and his wife, Zytka… my husband and I were watching our grandchildren for the day while my son and daughter-in-law when out to pick berries by the edge of a nearby forest."

"I'm guess that's code for fooling around while the grandparents watch the kids," Tony suggested.

Tyma smiled softly. "A long family tradition in which the grandchildren and grandparents pick more berries than the parents ever do."

"They ran into the Maximoff," Tony stated.

"Yes," Tyma breathed out as she closed her eyes; her face betraying her anguish.

Tony sat quietly as Tyma collected herself.

"The funeral was as you American would say was closed casket," Tyma stated.

Stark was quiet for a few minutes in order to give Tyma a moment. "What happens next? I'm assuming you'll be returning to Sokavia."

"As I said, Dr Stark, I am retired. My husband and I have our grandchildren to raise, now that their parents have been avenged," Tyma stated.

"In what's left of Sokavia," Tony commented.

Tyma left out an un-lady like snort. "Why is it that the world view Sokavia as a city-country. Ultron did nearly destroy our largest city, our capital Novi Grad but there are other cities, towns and villages in Sokavia. My home, was untouched by the battles with Ultron as where those of my neighbors and their neighbors. We will be fine. And our people will rebuild."

Tony nodded his head accepting the answer. "If you find yourself needing help, contact me," Stark said as he rose from his chair.

"Thank you, Tony," Tyma said.

"No. Thank you Tyma," Tony replied.

"For what?" Tyma asked in confusion.

Tony just smiled before turning and walking out of the integration room.

Captain O'Malley was waiting outside of the integration room as Tony walked out, shutting the door behind him.

"Well that was… interesting," O'Malley admitted.

"Not what you were expecting?" Tony said.

"Yes and no," O'Malley answered. "I figured it was revenge for working with Ultron or Hydra. Didn't expect that."

Tony shook his head. "I didn't either."

"So, what's going to happen now?" O'Malley asked.

"I think that's up to the politicians," Tony stated. "I don't think too many of them will want the details of Wanda's crimes to be made public. It could cause people to start to ask questions about Roger's judgement."

"You don't think people are already starting to question it?" O'Malley stated.

"It all depends on with whether or not they let the media, Facebook or Twitter do the thinking for them or not," Tony answered.

O'Malley snorted. "In other words, don't hold your breath. But what I was really asking is what going to happen to you?"

"Me?" Stark replied in surprise.

O'Malley nodded his head. "I've been a cop long enough to see what happens when things go bad. People pointing fingers, assigning blame where it didn't belong. I'm seen family blaming us because we arrested their loved ones for the crimes they were committing. And then you get the family blaming the cops for not being there to stop the crimes. Damned if you do and twice as damned if you don't."

Tony let out a snort as he nods his head. "You try to protect the world and the world blames you for saving it."

"Amen to that. We're the people who go into place angels fear to tread," O'Malley stated.

"Pretty sure the line is 'Fools rush in where angels fear to tread," Stark stated.

"But we're not fools," O'Malley replied.

"No, we're not."

O'Malley pulled out a card from a pocket and hands it to stark.

"What's this?" Tony said as he looked at the card.

"Support group. Cops, soldiers, ETM. This of us who have to go into those dark places," O'Malley stated.

"I'm not a cop or any of the others," Tony pointed out.

"No but you are one of us," O'Malley admitted. "When you need us," O'Malley nodded to the card in Stark's hand, "You know where to find us."

Tony nods his head and point the card into his wallet.

"Have you ever had a cup of police station coffee?" O'Malley asked. "It's strong enough to strip paint and actual taste a bit like paint stripper."

"Sounds better than the Marine's coffee or the toxic sludge that the Army said is coffee. Now the Air Force has really good coffee but from what I understand that's how it is," Tony said hinting at something that only those who served in the military would understand.

"What's the Navy's coffee like?" O'Malley asked as they started walking.

"Salty."

The End
