No-One But You (The Mystic Consultant) - Part 1
Chapter 56: Parallel Universe (Part 6)
Ok, so...
Bucky Barnes was kinda-sorta following along with the two conversations that were carrying on around him.
Clint Barton and Ezekiel Stane had been silently feuding over body snatching, or whatever.. and Nick Fury didn't seem to care.
Ezekiel Stane and Natasha Romanov had been silently feuding because he killed someone in self defense, and she was still pissed off about it.
Bucky was chill with all of it, and he was still wondering what Steve's problem was. His DIVA lover was rubbing off on him, obviously, because Captain America was never late.
The not-so-winter soldier felt a little more than confused. He started contemplating his behavior on the roof the night before.
His mind just gravitated in that direction, because Steve seemed a bit off when he showed up on the roof. Bucky went home with Natasha as if nothing happened...
Well nothing happened at all, so he shrugged. Bucky physically shrugged his shoulders as he processed the thought.
The random conversations finally came to an end, because the door to the training room suddenly opened. Bucky stood up a little taller for the moment, because the person that walked in was ...
A pleasant man named "Happy Hogan" entered the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, and guess who followed in behind him. Tony Stark casually waltzed into the building, but he was wearing a dark hoodie.
Tony looked like he was dressed for exercise. His flashy clothes were nowhere to be seen. His personal chauffeur was carrying around a duffle bag as well..
Bucky's left eyebrow arched up toward the ceiling. His eyes were focused on Tony, because it seemed like he was getting ready to run the show instead of Steve..
"Cap and I are attempting a little role reversal. The timeframe on it is pending. It's kinda growing on us.."
Tony seemed amused with himself. He crossed the room and eventually entered the sparring ring. Natasha watched him as he eventually approached Ezekiel...
Tony just held a small smile. He quickly glanced at the boxing gloves that covered the hands of Satan's son.
Then, his careful focus migrated in Bucky's direction. Tony had a plan or two for Steve's best friend, so his smile pulled open a little wider.
"Don't worry. I'll play nice. The heavy hitters will be here soon. I'm mainly here to facilitate."
Nick Fury had a basic idea of what the plan was. He was mainly facilitating as well, and listening to the way his crew were interacting.
Tony gave him a friendly smile, and then he told "Agent" Barton and Ezekiel to begin.
