No-One But You (The Zephyr Endeavor) - Part 2
Chapter 33: The Power of Love (Part 3)
Tony Stark was in a fancy place called Manhattan, and he was working on the first section of Donna Strange's wedding ring.
He was all alone in his work space, listening to music… but the sound of Jarvis suddenly cut off the tunes.
…
"Sir, there is new activity to report on the Mind Stone. How do you want this information delivered?"
…
Jarvis could have transcribed the "activity" and put it all on a stupid PDF for the rest of the Surveillant Council to review, buuuuuuttt… Tony was known to be a nosy bastard. Of course he wanted to review the information before anyone else…
The snarky inventor looked up from his work for a sec. He had to ponder how he wanted that info delivered, because it was related to the never ending adventure of dealing with Ezekiel fucking Stane…
Some stains never come clean, and Obadiah's precious offspring never seemed to go away…. Does he?
…
Hmmm…
…
"Jarv, patch all that over to me on an encrypted screen. I don't want eyes on it yet. Keep it all off the books, for now…"
…
As far as everyone else was concerned, that Mind Stone "activity" never friggen happened until Tony decided that it happened. Did you catch how that shit works people?
Tony waited for the information to be processed and shared as directed, and he turned his focus back toward Donna's ring until that moment occurred.
I mean, Tony really wasn't expecting much. He figured Ezekiel was having yet another mental collapse, most likely because Wade Wilson did something bizarre.
That was the reoccurring theme of their little shit-show romance, and overall… Tony was pretty indifferent about the whole thing.
…
"Sir, the information is ready for you to review."
…
"Thanks Jarv."
…
His music resumed shortly after the voice of Jarvis ceased to be, but Tony was more focused on reshaping a section of Donna's ring. He was building something that was going to snap to the existing ring, and protect it…
Anyway… Tony absentmindedly migrated his focus toward the encrypted screen that popped up on his left. At first, it seemed like Ezekiel was simply keeping track of Wade Wilson's vital signs for some bizarre reason.
Oh, so… he was tapping into the mercenary's thoughts, and Tony started reading a transcription of what the crazy one had going on his head.
L-O-FUCKING-L… Tony laughed immediately after he read over Wade's thoughts on "fuck-face Doctor Chrome-Dome" teaching Ezekiel about liking guys? Hilarious.
OH, so, Ezekiel was being asked a question about when he became attracted to men… and the "Jackal" was using the Mind Stone to listen in on what wasn't being said. Got it.
Uhh, Tony quickly figured out what was happening between Ezekiel and Wade out there in Japan, based on the information in Wade's mind. The conversation only needed some basic common sense to decipher, so…
…
….
WHOA NOW. What the fuck?
….
…
Uhhhhhhh…. so… the answer to Wade's interesting question was eventually revealed, and Tony silently reviewed the information once more to make sure he was reading the information correctly as it was presented.
…
"Jarvis?"
…
Tony made a quick gesture with his hand, and he dismissed that screen as soon as the information was carefully reviewed. There was no need to read the transcript again, and Tony was very much done with what was described.
…
"Sir? How can I be of service?"
…
The voice of Jarvis cut through the music once again, but Tony took his time before he responded to his technology. I mean… honestly, how was he supposed to react to what he reviewed?
Ezekiel Stane was back to haunt him once again, and now a new truth about their epic "history" was revealed to him…
I'm sorry? You're into guys because of…who exactly? Oh helllllllll fucking no. That ain't gunna fly in any dimension. Tony was practically seething at the thought…
…
"Jarv, torch that activity report. Burn it from the log and wipe it clean. I want the whole thing erased, and I'm talking scorched earth kinda stuff."
…
Tony had no intention of introducing that fuccckkkiiinnnggg crazy information to anyone on the Surveillant Council, and he sure as hell wasn't saying jack shit about it to Steve.
The blonde was at the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility with Nick Fury at that point in time, dealing with the sudden appearance of Rae-fucking-Ann…
Someone's BULLSHIT knew no bounds, so the snarky brunette's mood became very scorched earth after reading the lingering thoughts that Ezekiel Stane had on his fucked up mind…
Yeah, Tony held a scowl on his face as he told Jarvis to change up his tunes….
OH OH Ohhhhh, he definitely wanted to friggen fuck someone up after reading all that SHIT, so Tony decided to listen to something mellow and change up the vibes for sure.
