DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN AVENGERS! Sadly. Oh my God, this disclaimer thing is really making me sad.

It has been 3 weeks since Robert found Anthony—Edward and helped him. Robert knew that they were safe, especially because Robert had a feeling that his spirit guardian friend was always watching him, taking care of him and Edward even though the said friend's location is currently unknown. But Robert couldn't help but to shift his body when the night came and they were all supposed to be asleep. Oh not Robert, especially not Robert.

Robert stared at the young man sleeping next to him (Robert had to share the bed with Edward because there are no more supplies to build a new bed for Edward). The steady breath of the now-blond-haired young man next to him. Robert turned his boy around, now lying on his side to get a good look of the young man. His long eye lashes, the small pink lips, they were all perfect. "Of course, this man is a prince," thought Robert, princes are all about good-looking and all. Suddenly Robert frowned, there's some dirt on Edward's face, tainting his perfectly sun-kissed skin.

Robert moved his hands forward, rubbing his calloused, rough fingers against Edward's soft skin. It felt like fire and ice. Robert can't help but to jumped a bit when he felt some sort of jolt of electricity cursing through his veins as he touched Edward's skin. Robert quickly stared at young man intensely, afraid that Robert has woken the young man up. But he didn't. The said man is still sound asleep, a smile started forming on his face.

Robert smiled a little. He rubbed his thumb against the small dirt on Edward's cheek. "All better now," whispered Robert to himself. Suddenly Robert heard footsteps from outside the cave. The sound of bushes being cut with a knife and leather boots squeaking as they walked.

Robert quickly took the magical green cloak that he got and covered himself with it. He walked towards the entrance of the cave, twigs and mosses and the said cloak covering him as he peeked at his surrounding. The moonlight gave an adequate light for Robert to see who has infiltrated his area.

Robert's eyes widened when he saw who they are.

The same men in black who tried to kill Anthony.

"We must find Anthony Stark whatever the cost is," one of them said. Robert's eyes widened, "So they knew that Anthony is still alive!" thought Bruce.

"Perhaps next time we should rip his heart," the other suggested. Robert glanced at the sleeping body behind him. A smile in his face as he slept peacefully finally after weeks (The massacre has given Edward nightmares and finally Robert was able to find a medicine for Robert so that he can fall sleep again). Imagining the said man bathed in his own blood, body lifeless. Robert shook his head; he may not let that happen.

"Come, let us move now and report to Obadiah Stane," said the man who spoke up the first time and soon they started running away.

Robert walked towards the sleeping figure behind him.

His previous smile now has turned into a frown.

"We must move,"

Edward woke up the next day with finding Robert is not next to him. Edward sat up and walked away from the bed. "Robert?" he called, but there's no reply. Edward frowned, where in this world could Robert be?

Edward started walking outside, trying to find Robert. "Robert?" he called.

"Over here," he heard a reply. Edward ran towards the source of sound, finding Robert wearing his green cloak, the hood is on, and his hands carrying a basket filled with fruits.

"What are you doing?" asked Edward rather confused. Robert turned around and looked at Edward a small smile on his face. "Trying to get fruits for us to sell," Robert simply said.

"Why?"

"Because we're going to move out and we can't stay here for too long," answered Robert as he walked back towards the cave, Edward following him behind his back.

"But why? Aren't we safer here?" asked Edward as they entered their cave.

Robert gave a small sigh as he placed the basket on top of the wooden table before he turned around facing Edward. Robert took off his hood and stared at Edward seriously.

"Those men who were after you… They knew that you're alive," said Robert. Edward's eyes widened. "How?! But I thought—"

"They just know Edward. I saw them walking around the cave last night. And it will take them not long to check this cave. That is why we must move out now," said Robert. Edward gasped and fell onto his knees.

"But I thought that I can live peacefully now, I thought -," and Robert saw how small and fragile the young man actually is when he saw those shoulders started to slump and tremble and the young man started crying.

Robert ran towards the crying man in front of him and embraced the younger man with his arms. "Shoosh, calm down Edward, everything is going to be alright," whispered Robert to Edward's ear, soothing him.

Edward clutched onto Robert's shirt as he cried. "You need to stay away from me Robert, or else you'll be in harm's way," said Edward as he cried. Hiccups and sobs between the sentences. Robert only smiled and ran his hand onto Edward's golden locks affectionately.

"I won't leave you alone Edward, they won't get you, I promise. I shall protect you even though my life is at stake," whispered Robert into Edward's ear. Edward felt himself calming down at the sweet words coming out from Robert's mouth. Edward felt his face heating up.

"Are you all better now?" asked Robert. Edward swallowed his saliva.

"Can we just… Stay in this position and embrace each other for a while?" asked Edward, a hiccup following. Robert chuckled.

"Sure thing," and Edward wrapped his small arms around Robert before he lay his head on Robert's chest.

After that event, Robert and Edward quickly ran away from the cave. Running from the said place to seek for safety and peace. They have been walking for hours before Edward spoke up, "Where are we going Robert?"

"We are going to leave Nottingham," replied Robert. Edward was rather taken aback by the answer.

"We cannot leave! What about my father? What about the kingdom? If Obie is after me, surely he will do the same about my father!" said Edward, stopped in his tracks. He cannot leave the kingdom, not when his kingdom is in chaos.

Hearing that there was no more footsteps behind him except his, Robert also stopped. He turned around, facing Edward. He saw the frown on Edward's face, the trembling body in anger. Robert sighed, he placed a hand on Edward's shoulder. "I do not expect you to," replied Robert.

"Then, why are we running away?" asked Edward. Robert sighed, "Besides the fact that your life is in the line?" and Edward raised his eyebrows at the statement.

"Imagine it Edward, at such a young age, how old are you?" asked Robert all of a sudden.

"16,"

"Right, by that age, there's absolutely no way for you to take the throne, yes?" asked Robert, Edward nodded.

"Then keep yourself alive until you reached the perfect age for you to take back your throne," said Robert, a serious look on his face. Edward nodded, "very well then," he said.

Robert smiled, "shall we start walking again?" and Edward smiled back at Robert.

"Yes," and they started walking towards their destination together.

It didn't take them that long to reach their destination. A small kingdom named "Derbyshire". They didn't go to the center of the said kingdom though, just the villages around the borders, afraid to make commotions. So, instead they settled down in a small village named "Bolsover".

Edward tilted his head as he sniffed the familiar smell in the air, a smile appeared on his face. The smell of markets, of real life people (not that Robert isn't alive but now he smelled like Robert and smelling Robert is like smelling him now. Not that he have a smelling kink… ish), the smell of roasted meat (Because living in an enchanted forest means that you can only consume fruits and fishes). The smell was so familiar, so…

Edward's smile turned into a frown. The smell reminded him of the cities of Nottingham. Of the memories and the days he spent in the said place.

Tony was running away, trying to get away from the guards of the palace. Wearing beige colored cloak covering his identity, not that anyone wouldn't know who he is, but just for the sake of his safety, and not so expensive normal clothes. He ain't going through this shit anymore. Oh hell no! He's going to spend the day like a normal person now! Tony increased his speed, giving a very obvious range about how slow the guards were. Tony smirked at the range, there's no way the guards can keep up with him now.

Tony took a turn around the corner, making a swift run so that the guards won't find him.

"Alright!" whispered Tony to himself for his success in running away from the guards. Tony started walking forward as he hummed some song that he didn't know. Not noticing the figure walking towards him.

"Ouch!" said Tony as he fell backwards, landed on the ground, his buttocks first.

"Forgive me! Are you okay, lad?" Suddenly there was a shadow looming over Tony. Tony looked up, looking at the figure casting the shadow. It was a young man perhaps in his 20's, dark skin, hair shaved in a tidy manner. Eyes filled with concern as he looked at Tony, hand held out, offering help.

Tony took the hand and the unknown stranger pulled Tony, helping him to get onto his feet. "Thank—"

"There he is!" he heard one man shouted. Tony turned around to see the castle guards behind him.

"Run!" shouted Tony before he dragged the man back then with him, pulling his hand, taking him to wherever Tony goes.

After running for approximately 15 minutes, they arrived at some meadow on top of a hill. The breeze was nice and there's not a single human in sight, Tony laughed as he fell and sat on the grass field. "Finally," he sighed as lied himself down on the field and closed his eyes.

"Hello?" he heard a sound and Tony opened one eye to see who the person is. Tony groaned as he sat up. "Not you!" Tony muttered.

"Pardon me, but you're the one who pulled my arm and took me here," said the man, folding his arms in front of his chest, giving an "I am pissed" look. Tony sighed, wanted to mentally smack himself for his stupidity.

"Why are the guards after you?" asked the man. Tony's mind just go like "oh, this man is new," as a smirk appeared on his face. "I don't know," answered Tony easily as he shrugged.

The black skinned man sat next to Tony and held his hand out, "I am James Rhodes, and you are?" Tony smiled a toothy grin before he shook the man's hand.

"Anthony Stark at your service my good man,"

"—Ward. Edward? Anthony?" Edward snapped back to reality. He looked at the gray-haired man next to him, holding Edward's shoulders with a face filled with concern. "Are you alright?" Robert asked.

Edward nodded, "Worry not Robert, I am fine," answered Edward, a smile forming on his lips. But he knew he's not okay.

He's far from okay.

There were too many memories in Nottingham. And he just can't let go.

Not as Edward Blue but as Anthony Stark.

"Robert, Cecilia, I am home!" said Edward as he entered the small cottage, a place where Robert and Edward lived along with a woman named "Cecilia Potts".

"Welcome home Edward," she greeted as she poured tea into a small cup before handing it to Edward. "Thank you," muttered Edward as he smiled at the woman's action.

"So, when are you going to settle down my female friend?" asked Edward, a smirk forming on his lips. Cecilia blushed. "That is none of your concern Edward!" she replied. Edward chuckled as he drank his tea

Cecilia was a beautiful woman. Blond-ginger-ish hair, soft, white skin, and blue eyes. Not to forget intelligent too. Edward put his tea cup down before he smiled softly at Cecilia. "Of course it's my concern Cecilia, you're turning 25 when the next dawn came and you're still not married!" teased Edward.

Cecilia sighed, "I do not know how I put up with you," admitted Cecilia as she held her forehead with her hands, massaging it. "Oh, how is your orb?" asked Cecilia out of no where.

Edward looked at his chest, the said orb is currently hidden under thick layers of clothing. But only because Cecilia is his close friend, Robert and Edward both told her about Tony's blue orb, the one nestling in his chest. And lucky for them, Cecilia is the only one who knew about it so far, except for both Robert and Edward of course.

"It is fine Cecilia," replied Edward, "And I thought you cared about me more than the orb in my chest," Edward said, pretending to be hurt.

Cecilia chuckled before she walked towards Edward and ruffled Edward's hair, "Of course I cared about you more than the orb silly, but the orb is a part of you, that is why I asked its condition," Edward smiled and he pulled Cecilia into a hug, "I know, I was just joking" muttered Edward and Cecilia hugged him back.

"Ah, that's sweet. Seeing my two acquaintance doing bonding without me in it," Edward turned his head to the source of sound. "Robert!" he called.

Robert walked towards them and ruffled Edward's hair too. Edward huffed, "You know, you and Cecilia will make a great couple," commented Edward.

"Oh, shut up you," said Cecilia. Edward pouted and Robert chuckled. "So how was your day Robert?" asked Cecilia, looking at Robert.

Robert smiled as he fixed his glasses, "It was great Cecilia," he replied.

As soon as Robert and Edward arrived at the city, they started looking for jobs, trying to find ways on how to fulfill their daily needs. Robert became a doctor and Edward became a black smith and they helped Cecilia at times, taking care of her deceased parents' garden.

"Oh, did you remember how we met?" asked Cecilia, all of a sudden.

Edward chuckled, "Of course I do!" replied Edward and Robert smiled at the memory. How can they forget?

It was raining heavily and both Robert and Edward were running, trying to find shelter. They just got kicked out from their previous shelter. All because the landlord said that she didn't like those two.

Now wet with clothes soaked, they shielded themselves from the rain by standing under a tree at the top of the hill, away from the city. They didn't really know how and why they were her, but they just did. Edward chuckled, "This is certainly a new experience," he said and Robert smiled at him, "How so?"

"When I was the prince, they would never let this thing happened at me. I never even got out from the castle borders unless I sneak out or ran away and now to think I'm this far away from home with you is funny. Really funny," said Edward and Robert smiled.

"And comforting," continued Edward, looking at the rain, a small smile on his face. Robert blushed, he felt his heart beating fast.

Suddenly a woman came, running towards them.

"Hello," she greeted even though her white dress was soaked, she was able to give a small smile at both Robert and Edward. "Heavy rain huh?"

'This woman is actually trying to create a conversation,' thought Robert. Before he could reply anything, Edward already spoke up for him. "Yes, yes it is. And what is a fair maiden like you doing here under the rain speaking with two unknown strangers?" teased Edward. Robert wanted to hit Edward on the head for saying such things, afraid that Edward's words offended the woman.

But the woman only giggled and her strawberry blond hair moved along with her giggles. "You are funny," she commented. And Edward smirked and shrugged, "I aim to please," he commented.

"What are you two gentlemen doing here?" she asked.

"Shielding ourselves from the rain," answered Robert. Edward sighed, "Aye, our landlord-ess kicked us out and so now we have no home to return to," added Edward. And the both man could see the sparkle on the woman's face.

"What if you two gentlemen stay at my cottage?"

It was 2 years ago.

Cecilia chuckled, "I remembered it clearly like it was yesterday," she admitted. Robert smiled, "It was a meaningful encounter," he commented.

"Oh," Cecilia suddenly said making the two men stared at her with confusion, "Have you heard the news? Nottingham is falling apart," she said.

Edward's eyes went wide. "What?"

A.N: Okay, a mind twisting quiz so that you can think in my way of thinking. Okay, the quiz is...

Who is Cecilia Potts?

Yeah, basically this is just some stupid excuse because I want to know you guys better! :D I would love to have new internet friends! Because it's fun!
