The Billionaire, The Soldier, The Jedi

Back on Earth, Angela replays the word that Steve spoke over and over in her head, while staring out the window.

Earth….Earth? That's some name for a planet!

Angela moves from the window and decides to sit carefully back down on the bed. Tony also decides to sit down in a chair in the right corner of the room, near the open door's left side. Since there was not another chair to sit on, Steve only two options were to continue standing….or to sit next to the Jedi.

Walking up to Angela, Steve asks hesitatingly. "Do you mind…if.. …sit here?" Angela answers with a nod. Noticing his signal, he sits on Angela's left, facing into the hall with Angela.

"Does this planet go by something different? A different name?" Angela's voice was questionable, but firm. She wanted as much information as she could possibly get.

Tony once again is already has a reply. "Not really, no."

Angela remembers the fact Tony stated about them just being able to travel to their moon. That was the only sign of transportation on and off this planet Earth. Trying to piece together what exactly happened, she starts running her fingers through her blonde and black colors strands of hair. Silence comes over the room as she continues to stork her hair from the top of her head to the end of her hair, back and forth over and over again.

While this was happen, Steve and Tony both noticed that the Jedi's black strands of hair were turning back to the blonde color of the others sections of her hair. The shimmering, bright color was taking over the darkness starting from the top of her head, working its way to the ends of her hair. Leaning backwards behind Angela, Steve gives Tony a look of shock and awe. Tony returns to him the same look while sitting up straighter in the wooden chair he was in.

After the Jedi's hair was its normal blonde color again, she raised her head back up, letting out a breath full of stress and worry out of her lungs. She felt better after doing so.

I'm glad I listen to Luke when he was telling me this trick. I feel so much better now; and on top of that, I think my injuries have healed rather quickly this time…I wish I could have controlled myself from using the Dark Side.

Silence was still hanging in the room, but Tony wants some of his questions answered.

"So, Angela. How do you feel?"

"Actually, I feel perfectly fine, now. I feel like a brand new person."

"Don't you think you should take it easy?"

Angela turns to face Steve. He continues by saying, "You were just tossed into a wall, while you were injured. In fact, you should be in pain now just sitting up straight."

First she started to smirk, then she starts to chuckle to Steve opinion.

"What's so funny?"

"Steve," Tony starts to smile as well.

I forgot that Cap was still on ice when Star Wars first came out. He has no idea what a Jedi is capable of. Guess I will have to give him a crash course on it.

Using emphases on each word, Tony states "Angela is a Jedi."

Steve is still confused.

Tony, while standing up, thinks to himself. I'm really going to have to put this as simple as I can.

"Angela used The Force to heal herself more quickly than she would if she just rested in a bed for a couple of weeks."

Angela stands and Steve follows her movement.

Angela's mind had just put some facts together that were in contrast with each other. With questions in mind, she started to fire each questions, one at a time, in Tony's direction.

"I have a question for you, Tony."

"Lay it on me."

"You know an awful lot about Jedi, yet when I said that I was one, you went nuts, running around stating over and over, 'Jedi exist! She's a Jedi. I knew it!'. It's as if you think that I'm something out of a myth or fairytale. Why is that?"

Tony's smile faded away and his face turned to one of question. How am I supposed to answer her question without her thinking that I am lying?

"Well," For the first time in his life, Tony thinks before he says anything. He wants to word this just right so as not to worry the Jedi. After a brief pause, he believes he has chosen the right words to say.

"The reason I went nuts when you said that you were a Jedi is because I thought Jedi were figures from movies and books."

Angela eyes Tony, looks at Steve, then back at Tony.

"Are you serious?"

Tony looks down and scratches the back of his head. "Yeah, I'm…serious."

Sifting on his feet, Steve notices a look of worry on Angela, and tries to comfort her.

"If it makes you feel any better, a lot of people thought that I wasn't real. They thought I was just a comic book character. Yet, Here I am. As real as I can be."

Angela moves away from the two gentlemen, and back to the window, pointing at the city. "Yeah, but at least you know where exactly you are. I don't know if I'm in deep space or in the Outer Rim territory. I not even sure if I'm in my own galaxy anymore!" After she states her mind, she lets out a long, deep breath of air. Finally, she calms down to the point she makes a realization.

"At least I know one thing."

"What may that be?" Steve asks.

Looking away from the window, she walks to Steve, since he asked the question.

Smiling the biggest smile Tony and Steve had seen from her yet, she replies, "You are neither with Imperial remnants or the Alliance."

Tony can't help but crack a smile. Steve, on the other hand, was still just as clueless as ever about everything involving the Jedi.

Suddenly, Angela's mind reminds her of something very vital to getting off this planet and back to Yavin. With widened eyes she asks in a shaky voice, "My Starfighter. Where….is my Starfighter."

Tony face palms himself for forgetting about the Jedi's air and spacecraft. He could not believe he would forget such a stunning piece of machinery.

"Oh geez. I can't believe I forgot about that! In fact, I forgot to check to see if it's here." Leaving from the little circle they had made, Tony walks over to a panel near the doorway and pushes a button.

"Jarvis." Tony waits for a reply.

He should be working after I switched him back on. Makes me wonder how the Sith knew which switch to flip, and how he got past the security points.

"What is it, Sir?" The very British voice replies to Stark in his usual tone.

"Jarvis, do you know if Pepper has retrieved the Starship from the location you gave her?"

"Yes, Sir. In fact, Pepper did that hours ago and I was wondering when you would go downstairs, freak out like a madman, and sit in the cockpit, making firing noises like a five year old pretending he was firing a military weapon."

Angela just stood there, knowing that Tony would take her to the craft after he was through talking with the AI. However, an involuntary snicker came from Steve, but he quickly stopped it.

For a machine with a voice, Jarvis knows how to use humor. Steve thought.

Tony rolls his eyes both because of Jarvis's comment and Steve's reaction to it.

"Not cool, Jarvis. Not cool."

"I only state facts that have a high probability of happening, Sir."

"Yeah. Thanks, Jarvis." Tony presses the button once more to shut the microphone off and walks back over to Steve and Angela.

Tony states the situation to the Jedi. "So, Jarvis had told me that your Starship is here. With that being said, I will now take you to it." Tony starts walking out of the room. "Follow me."

Angela waits, seeing if Steve will go first, but she is shocked when Steve does not move.

Steve looks into Angela's eyes, while holding out his open right palm towards the open doorway. "Lady's first. Unless you are uncomfortable with that."

With question in her face, she replies "No. It's fine." Angela walks out the door and to the right where Tony is waiting at the elevator doors. After Steve exits the room, he shuts the door behind him and walks along Angela's right side, since the hallway was wide enough to do so. Angela continues talking to Steve while they make their way towards the elevator. "You know that's the first time that I've seen any man do that."

"Do what?"

"Let a lady go first out of a room. Where I'm from, it's whoever is closest to the door first, unless it's royalty or someone like that."

"Well, here on this planet, it's called being a gentleman."

Angela face kept its neutral tone. "Being a Gentleman. I'll have to remember that one for the boys back home."

By this time, they had made it to where Tony was standing. Their timing could not have been more perfect because the elevator had arrived at that moment. The metal doors moved to the side in a smooth motion.

Steve was going to say "Lady's first" again, but Tony was the first to speak. Using the same gesture Steve did with Angela, he smiles while stating, "After you, Guardian of Peace and Justice."

Angela suddenly looked bewildered after Tony said those words. She got into the elevator and shrugged it off. I've been called weirder names and also some colorful ones. I'll just go with it.

After Angela was in the elevator, Tony followed behind while Steve entered last. Since Tony was on the left side of the elevator and Angela was in the middle, he asked Steve to press the button labeled L1. He nods and presses the button. The elevator obey the command, shutting the shiny, metal doors and beginning its descent down to the basement.

The elevator was silent but a second. Steve wanted to know some things that this Jedi had spoken earlier, but he did not want to be rude, in the fact that she has no idea where she was exactly at and that she did not know either him or Stark that well. Surprisingly, though, curiosity got the better of him.

"So when you said the boys, did you mean your sons or..."

Tony glances over to Steve with a very shocked look on his face. "Am I hearing things or did you just asked Angela if she was married?"

Steve quickly looks at Tony. "No..I" His eyes lock onto Angela's "I didn't mean…that's not.."

Tony couldn't take what Steve said without an argument. His inner fanboy kicked in and he began to throw facts about Jedi like fastballs at Steve. The soldier was trying to reword what he meant. Meanwhile, Angela head was going back and forth between them, trying to figure out who was saying what, but was failing. Instead of trying to catch a headache from the "discussion" Tony and Steve were having, she tunes them out of her mind and instead looks at elevator floors they were passing above the closed doors.

I hope my Starfighter isn't totaled. From all the information I have gathered from just from these two guys, it seems that technology isn't really advanced. If it is, it wouldn't be high tech enough to help me repair or replace any parts that might be damaged. I just hope that my communicator still works….and that I 'm close enough to a planet with Republic frequencies.

Angela leaves her thought in the back of her mind and focuses back up at the elevator floors. She feels the elevator slowing down. They were almost at their floor. Suddenly, she remembers that Tony and Steve were in their heated discussion.

She tunes her ears back into the argument. She still couldn't tell who was saying what. Outstretching her hands in front of her where Tony and Steve were now standing, she puts her left hand on Tony's right shoulder and her right hand on Steve's left shoulder. Both abruptly stop at the feeling of someone touching their shoulder. Turning their heads simultaneously at Angela, she says in a calm tone, "I think we are almost at the floor we're supposed to get off".

Hearing this, Tony and Steve look up at the elevator floors. Sure enough, the light lit up L1 and the doors started to open back in a smooth motion. Seeing this, Angela then takes her hands off Tony's and Steve's shoulder and moves forward to the opening doors, hoping that in this room would be her Starfighter, in as little pieces as possible.
