It's been a month since the whole city wide mind-control and it's still recovering. The city itself is still standing tall and strong. Tony was getting around slower then normal but at least he wasn't on bed rest anymore. That was a nightmare. His scars were still fairly fresh but the stitches were dissolveable and were almost gone. The scars themselves were still bright red, irritated and Tony hated them. Quinn has been working harder then normal (if that was possible) on her suit and blueprints and diagrams. Kim was getting worried, along with everyone else. Kim offered the idea to take her to central park. It's only a few blocks away an she's in the safest hands around him. He put his numbers into the lab, smiling when he saw her moving some holograms around from the computer, working on schematics. "Hey princess.." She barely looked up. "Hi." He knew her fathers small brush with near death got to her which was why she was working so hard. He smiled, going to her. "You know you've been in here a really long time." "Uh-huh." He sighed, kneeling next to her level. "How about going to the park with me? Get some fresh air, might give you some ideas." She perked up, looking at him, she smiled. "Ok! It sounds like fun." She got off he chair, holding his hand. He smiled. He forgot how much he missed this. She smiled up at him. "I missed you." He smiled. "I missed you to princess."
It was a 15 minute walk to get to central park. For once it wasn't that crowded. He held her hand as they walked. She looked around in awe at everything but still stayed close to him, being shy of the people. Suddenly his phone rang. He picked it up. "Hello?" He looked down at Quinn, making sure she was still having a good time. There was a familiar voice on the other end. "Agent Smith? I hope you remember me and that coffee were suppose to have." He smiled/smirked. "How could I forget maria. Where you at now?" "Just finishing up some work in the city. Collateral damage and whatnot." Gage smiled. "Well me and Quinn are in central park, if you want to join us." "aww that sounds sweet. Ok, I'll be there in a bit. Go to the fountain, I'll meet you there." "Got it." He hug up, putting the phone in his pocket. He smiled down to Quinn. "Were gonna have a guest with us." She looked confused. "Who?" "You remember Maria Hill right? Shes in the city, she wants to meet us and walk for a bit." "oh ok." He noticed how disappointed she looked. He picked her up as they were walking. "Hey, don't pout. Your still my princess." She smiled weakly, before he started tickling her with his free hand. Making her giggle as they walked. They got to the main fountain, sitting with Quinn in his lap.
It was a few moments later someone was calling his name. "Gage!" He looked over, seeing a gorgeous woman, with long brown hair. He almost didn't recognize Agent Maria Hill. He never saw her hair down or make up on or even in normal cloths. He had to remember to swallow. She smiled, walking to them. "Gage, you look good. Hi Quinn, how's your work coming along?" Quinn shrugged. "It's ok." Gage ruffled her hair. "Not gonna tell her you got a working repulser arm?" Maria smiled, eyes wide in surprise. "Wow...really?" Quinn spoke up, sounding small. "And Magnetic boots to." Maria laughed lightly. "wow, you'll have a whole suit in no time." Quinn looked at Gage. "Can I walk around?" She was starting to feel unwanted in this trio. She didn't like it. Gage kissed her head, lowering her to the ground. "Sure but stay where I can see you." "ok." She started to walk a bit, looking at the fountain. Maria sat down, her shoulder hitting Gage's gently. "So how's Tony doing?" Gage shrugged. "Better, thats for damn sure. He was on bed rest for a while. He's moving around now, slowly but he's moving." "Good. I was worried. So how about that coffee?" He smirked. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that "coffee" is code for getting in to my pants. Your sure insistent on it." Maria smirked. "I did mean coffee but that could work to." She kissed the side of his mouth, making him bite his lip. "Lets go get coffee. Actual coffee, not the other one..yet." Maria chuckled, standing. "Go get Quinn then, we'll be going." He nodded, standing. "Quinn!" It was a few moments later she walked over to him. He smiled, picking her up. "There's my princess. Com'on, were gonna go get something to eat." Maria smiled, watching him with Quinn. He was so good with her.
They walked to a close coffee shop. Maria and Gage getting coffee, getting a fruit punch drink for Quinn. Sitting down at a small booth. Maria and Gage across from each other, Quinn on the side of Gage, sipping her juice. Maria smiled, sipping her coffee. "So tell me about yourself." Gage shrugged with a smile. "Not much about me. Trained my whole life for military." Maria smiled. "And it shows." He chuckled when Quinn poked his arm. He leaned over to hear her. "Yeah princess?" "I'm gonna go use the bathroom." She started wiggling underneath the table, he chuckled, moving his legs for her. "Be careful. Ok?" "ok." She made her way into the bathroom at the end of the shop.
Maria took this moment alone, leaning over and kissing him, deeply. He was taken by surprise but quickly melted before she pulled away with a small smirk. He smirked back. "Were doing more of..that later." She chuckled. "At a loss for words Agent Smith?" Gage smirked. "Not at all Agent Hill." In the rest room, Quinn sat on the toilet, her pants still on. She just wanted to get away from them. She could feel the affection between them. The chemistry. She was feeling like she wasn't wanted and that Maria was stealing her knight away. She sniffled, wiping her eyes. Maybe she could do something to get his attention. But what? She bit her lip, trying not to cry to hard. Once she was done she washed her face, best she could with her small size and walked out. Then he heard it. Buzzing. She looked to it and saw a bee on the seat next to her. It must have followed someone in. She bit her lip. She knew whenever they went outside he had her Epi-pens so she would be fine. She hard them laugh, looking over, seeing them kiss. She wanted to growl. She was so mad. She quickly snatched the bee, holding it in her hands, trapped. She jumped when it stung her, biting her lip to keep from crying. It was only seconds later she felt the effects. Her breathing becoming labored, throat swelling up, unable to stand, she fell to the floor.
There was quite the commotion around her but everything was muffled. She saw Gage now in her line of sight. In the commotion Gage saw Quinn on the ground. He quickly ran over. "Quinn!" He saw her on the ground, unable to breath, face starting to swell. He quickly got an Epi-pen out, kneeling, holding her close as he took the cap off quickly with his teeth, jabbing it into her thigh, pressing the button. He petted her hair back gently. "It's ok princess.. it'll be ok." Maria ran next to him, gasping. "Oh my God, what happened?" Gage held Quinn close as her body calmed. "Shes..shes allergic to bees. One must have followed in here. God..I'm sorry." Maria knelled, taking her coat off, putting it around Quinn. "Don't be, this wasn't your fault. Lets get her home." Gage nodded. He picked her up gently, paying for the drinks and apologizing for the drama. The clerk was only worried about Quinn.
Gage got home, Maria following, her jacket still around Quinn. Kim saw this from the kitchen, walking over quickly. "Oh my God, what happened?" Gage sighed. "A bee. We were in a coffee shop, one must have followed us in. I'm sorry." Kim nodded. "It's alright, that isn't your fault. Lay her down on the couch, I'll get some ointment. Hello Maria, sorry, I haven't said hi." Maria smiled. "It's alright, you have better things to worry about." Kim nodded, rushing to the kitchen. Kim spoke while looking in the first aid pantry. "JARVIS, tell Tony that Gage and Quinn are back. That he needs to come to the living room." She got the anti-histamine ointment and started the tea kettle before walking out to Quinn who was now laying down on the couch, a small blanket over her, Maria now with her coat back. Kim sat on the couch, inspecting Quinn for the sting. She looked at her arms but she saw her hand was the most swollen. She held it gently, the stinger in the middle of her palm. She got the tweezers, taking the stinger out quickly with a small wince from Quinn. Tony made his way to the living room. Long sleeve shirt on, band tee over that. He slowly made his way, nearly limping. He smiled weakly. "Agent Hill? What brings you here?"
Kim spoke. "Tony, it's Quinn." Tony frowned, suddenly worried, walking over to them quick as he could. "Is she ok? What happened?" Gage frowned. "Bee sting. Shes fine now but one must have followed into the coffee shop we were in." Tony sighed in relief. "I'm just glad shes ok now." Quinn whined, turning into the coach. Gage kissed her head. "I'l let her rest." Kim nodded. Gage lead maria to the kitchen. Maria spoke worriedly. "She gonna be ok?" Gage nodded, getting mugs out. "Yeah. She just needs a little rest." Maria nodded. "Poor thing. Having to feel like a fish out of water, it's a scary feeling." Gage nodded, handing her a mug of tea. "Here. Sorry about our half date." maria smiled. "Half date?" Gage shrugged, sipping his tea. She chuckled softly. "Well we could make this a real date and go somewhere private." He felt himself blush before smirking. "How about dinner?" Maria smiled. "That sounds great."
After a few hours of calming Quinn down and putting her to sleep, Gage was getting ready for his date. Clint was on patrol tonight. He met maria standing next to one of the cars. A BMW, red. Maria smiled. "Not subtle, are you?" Gage smirked, opening her door. "Felt like showing off." She smirked,getting in the car. "I have a feeling we won't be doing much eating tonight." Gage smirked, starting the car, driving out of the garage.
Around 12AM Quinn woke, crying hard into her pillow. It was five minutes later she wondered where Gage was. Her heart perked up when the door opened but fell when it was just her dad. He frowned, walking to the bed. "You ok princess?" She sniffled. "I had an nightmare. Wheres Gage?" Tony sighed, petting her hair. "Sorry, he's out tonight. Don't worry he'll be back." Her lip trembled. "But he's always here. He's always here for me." Tony picked her up, hiding the wince, holding her close. He knew that feeling. "It's ok. You know he cares about you." She remained quiet and he wasn't sure what to make of that.
Gage was parked at a secluded parking lot. Him and maria in the back, maria on his lap, opening her mouth to the kiss. He moaned, running his hands up her back, under her shirt. She started kissing his neck, suckling on it. He moaned. "Oooh...mmm." Maria smirked, running her hand up his shirt, feeling the defined muscles underneath. He groaned, taking her shirt off quickly along with her bra. Suckling on a breast. She gasped, arching into him. He moaned as she rubbed her hips against his hard member tenting in his jeans. "Maria...how far did...did you want to...mmm?" She smirked, suckling his neck. "I'm protected if that's what your asking." He smirked. "Oh good lord..." He crashed his lips to hers, letting her take his shirt off. Once it was off he quickly laid her on the car's seat, kissing down her body, suckling on her breast as he unzipped her jeans, reaching a hand underneath, feeling her warmth. She moaned. "ooh..." She bit her lip as the jeans came off along with her panties, leaving her lean body nude before him. He moaned, looking her over before crashing his lips to hers, moaning as he started taking his jeans off. She helped, a hand reaching in, starting to stroke him. He groaned. "Oh God...I need to be inside you..." She smirked, wrapping herself around him, his member hitting her warmth. "Then what are you waiting for?" He thrust in fast, groaning into her neck, starting to thrust into her with abandon. She gasping, moaning, her nails digging into his back. He moaned, pounding into her. "Oh yes...mmm.."
underneath there cloths his phone was ringing, muffled by the cloths laying over top and the moans of the car. He groaned. "Oh God...I'm close..." She bit her lip, moaning. "Me...to ahh God.." He groaned as he felt her walls tightening with her orgasm, milking his own. Coming hard inside her. He panted, riding it out until he stopped. "Oh god...mmmm" He kissed her shoulder before pulling out, laying next to her, panting, arms around her. She chuckled softly, snuggling next to him. "You know you'll have to go home soon?" He nodded. "A few more minutes."
It was going on 2Am when he got back to Stark Tower. He dropped off Maria, they had plans for a second date, when they wernt busy. He knew she had a lot to do still concerning the last incident with New york. He had a missed call from Tony but never left a voice mail. He hoped it wasn't important. He got to the upper level and saw the living room light on along with the faint sounds of spongebob. He smiled weakly, making his way in but he frowned. Quinn was awake, a frown on her face, sniffling and wiping her tears. He could tell shes been upset for a while. Her eyes were red and tear stained. He walked in. "Princess, whats wrong?" He stopped walking when she glared. She glared at him. There was anger in her eyes. He couldn't help but think of Tony's temper. It was calm and dangerous and something that should never be messed with. She glared then looked back at the screen. He swallowed, walking closer. "Princess, are you mad?" She remained quiet and that scared him. He walked closer. "Princess...please talk to me." She kept quiet, glaring still, her little arms crossing over her chest. He sat next to her. "Quinn...talk to me." He was pleading at this point. What did he do to make her so mad?
She spoke, her voice wobbly with tears. "I had a nightmare tonight. You didn't come. You never did." He frowned. "Did your dad come help you? Your mom?" "There not you!" He nearly jumped at the raised voice. "Princess, calm down." She stood, glaring at him with tears still falling. He was hating himself with every second. She spoke. "Daddy came to help but you didn't. He isn't you. I want you to help me and make me feel better. But you wernt there, you ignored me all day!" He knelled down to her, holding her arms gently. "I never ignored you." "Yes you did. When that pretty lady from shield was with you. You ignored me as soon as she came to us. As soon as she was with us you didn't care abut me. Even after I left for 7 minutes, you didn't even come looking for me. Even after I got myself stung by that bee you were still all about her." Gage was at a loss then paused. "Wait, you got yourself stung by that bee?" She swallowed, looking away. Knowing she was in trouble. "Yes. I knew you had my pens so I was gonna be ok." He shook his head. "Were talking in the morning but right now I think I owe a day of whatever you want to do. I'm sorry. Hey..look at me." He tilted her head to look at him. Her lip trembling. "Hey...tomorrow, we'll do whatever you like in the city. Our own little date, would you like that?" She smiled weakly, nodding. He smiled, kissing her head. "Good." He picked her up, holding her close, hugging her. "Don't ever think I don't care about you. I'll always be here no matter what." She hugged him tightly, hiding her head in his neck as her tears continued.
