No-One But You (The Zephyr Endeavor)
Chapter 54: Chaos Control (Part 4)
Hmmmm. Tony Stark was wide awake next to Steve perfect-face Rogers, and his eyes continued to skim over the sea of information that "Rae-Ann" prepared for S.H.A.D.O.W…
…
Something wasn't adding up.
…
Tony was also snacking on some almonds as Steve slept like a baby. Blondie was all tuckered out from their evening activities, and Starknado could tell that he was getting his beauty sleep.
Actually, his tech confirmed that information, cuz the inventor couldn't tell for shit. Anyway, his sharp eyes were hunting around for something specific, and his hands were fast at work as he continued to skim through several screens.
…
He stopped at an activity log for some reason, then his soul made him return his focus back to the countless amounts of Iron Mongers that were on guard beneath the surface of every church.
Why oh why was Tony so stuck on that? Oh, I dunno, call it a hunch. Hmmm. The feisty brunette shoveled another handful of almonds in his mouth, then he zoomed in on another behind the scenes image that Ezekiel provided….
…
Who's actually controlling the Iron Mongers? That information wasn't present in "Rae-Ann's" research at all. It didn't slip through the cracks either, because Tony was just as thorough.
If not, more.
…
Hmm. Tony swallowed down some almonds with his thought, then he took a glance over at the time. Gee golly Mr. Rogers, Tony realized that he was pushing on three in the morning…
Oh well, his mind could go for days, and thanks to his Mystic Arts enhancements and the presence of some tiger kitty-super beast, Tony's body was physically able to go for days as well.
…
Did Ezekiel actually know who was controlling his father's second favorite toy? Wasn't HE powering them, or responsible for them being constructed in the first place? Call it another hunch, but Tony's first instinct was to always mistrust anyone connected to Obadiah Stane.
There was no one on the planet more connected to Satan, dead or not, and Tony was raised to keep his enemies close…
…
"Jarv, have you picked up anything at all? Anything from any of the locations?"
…
"Sir, there are no energy outputs or inputs to report."
…
Hm. Tony scratched the back of his head for a second, then he glanced down in Steve's direction. That golden thing was super-snoozing, and he looked so yummy and cute.
…
"Keep an eye on those machines for me Jarv. I wanna know everything about the energy going to it or from it on a 24 hour basis."
…
"Certainly, sir."
…
The light from Jarvis and all the screens powered down as Tony finally turned in Steve's direction. He noticed that blonde pushed his pillow off the bed at some point, so Tony playfully rolled his eyes.
Steve always did that when he was feeling lonely. He pushed it farrrr off from the bed too, so now the two of them had to share one.
How fucking cute.
Tony lived for Steve's cuddly cute shit, so he moved in all close and up in Steve's space. He planned to talk to him about his energy-driven easter egg hunt in the morning, so for now, the brunette forced himself to rest…
