Two Great Years
Tony eme around the kitchen, wanting coffee desperately,
Harley and Ivy were still on bed, but he had to go to a meeting, fuck.
He founded his father on the kitchen.
“Hello son.”
“Hi dad.”
“You did woke up earlier.”
“I do have a meeting I need to attend too.”
“About what ?”
Tony sighted.
“Barnes.”
Howard looked at him.
“The panel has agreed that, unless there is a global extinction crisis, they won’t even think about letting Rogers and gang out of prision, but Barnes is another case. The panel thinks, since there is enough to prove to know he was brainwashed, that he should be given a second chance.”
“And what does that have to do with you ?”
“Because Barnes is still the Winter Soilder, they can’t let him out until he is cured from that, and seeing how BARF helped Harley deal with the Joker, they want me to use it to help Barnes.”
Howard sighted.
“I don’t blame Barnes for what happened to me and your mother, I understand he was just a puppet. What worries me is Siberia, while I think everyone can agree the blame for that is mostly on Rogers, Barnes did attack you on his free will.”
“To be a bit fair, Barnes’ Brain was so damaged that it could have triggered a fight or flight response, Rogers just made it worst by playing with his memories. Also, the guy did turn himself in, and acknowledge his role on that, something Rogers still refuses to do.”
Howard nodded.
“So, are you gonna help him ?”
“I am still thinking about it. Harley and Ivy said that I shouldn’t, they are extremely against the idea. Peter actually wants me to help him, but with precaution, and Rhodey said that is my choice. What do you think ?”
“First of all, no matter their opinions, I think everyone says it’s your choice. But I am actually gonna side with Peter. I think you should help Barnes, first of all, we need the Winter Soilder our, but also the man has acknowledge his mistakes, and unlike the others, has had a perfect behavior in prision. As someone who had many years of his life taken and now has the chance to get them back, I think Barnes should too. But it is your choice, whatever you do, I’ll support you.”
“Thanks dad.”
Meanwhile at the common room.
Luis was telling one of his famous stories to Clayface, who was fascinated.
Scott waked in and smiled.
Typical Luis.
He remembers when they decided to build a second yellow jacket suit, but much safer than what across made.
And when they were thinking of a new pilot, Scott new Luis was their guy. He had faced danger in both the Cross and Ava situations, and helped them a lot.
So, after convincing Hope, the others agreed to trust his judgement.
“Hey Luis.”
“SCOTTY !”
“So, I have something to ask you.”
“What is it ?”
Scott handled him a price of paper.
“Scotty, this are the accords ?”
“Yep.”
“Why are you giving them to me ?”
“Because.....”
He handled him a small packet.
Luis opened it, and saw the Yellow Jacket suit.
“Scotty, you don’t mean...”
“Welcome to the Avnegers Luis.”
Luis’ eyes went wide.
He jumped to his desk.
“I AM GONNA BE AN AVENGER BABY !”
And then he passed out.
That was a good memory. Luis had been their second to last recruit, with only Peter being the last when he turned 18.
Scott And Hope decided to stay friends, he was fine with this. He knows he will find the right woman when the time comes.
“Hey there Scott.”
The voice belonged to Sharon Carter, she joined a month before Luis did. Like him, she regretted helping Rogers, paid for her mistakes, and joined the team.
She was Tony’s cousin, so he was a bit soft on her.
She and him, along side T’Challa, had been the ones of team Cap that regretted their actions, and chose to change team and pay for their mistakes. That had made the, great friends.
“Hey Sharon.”
“Just got the news, Barnes might get that pardon.”
To be honest, Scott barley talked to Barnes, so he has no opinion, the man did turned himself in, so that gives him a point.
“I bet Harley and Ivy are furious.”
“Actually, Ivy is more calmed with the idea now, she was the one that told me. She was at first furious about the idea, but as she calmed down, she realized Barnes might nit be as bad as the others, and may deserve a second chance, she still doesn’t want him here, or for Tony to be close to him. She also told me Harley is still dead against him coming out of jail.”
“Well, they are his fiancés if I am correct, they have the right to be mad.”
“Yeah, they do.”
“But you know what, enlightened about problems, let’s go and do something fun.”
Peter ran to Stephen.
“Dr. Strange wait !”
“Peter, what is it ?”
“I just wanted to congratulate you on your baby with Dr. Palmer.”
Some days ago, Christine had comed out pregnant, with Stephen’s child.
To say he was happy and terrified a thre same time was an understatement.
“Thanks Peter.”
“Do you guys have a name yet ?”
“If it’s a girl, the name will be Clea, we have no idea what will be the name if it’s a boy, have any ideas ?”
“Ehhh, let’s see..... oh I know, call him Harry !”
“Harry ?”
“Yeah, because of Harry Potter, he is gonna be a wizard like you sir.”
Harry, that name was actually not that bad.
“I have another sugestión, call him James.”
Rhodey landed just in front of them.
“Colonel, aren’t you in the meeting with Mr. Stark.”
“Couldn’t go kiddo, the army called me. Vision went with him.”
“Excuse me, do you want me to name my baby after you ?”
“That’s right.”
“No.”
“Why not, James is a cool name.”
“Still no, and Peter, your friends have crossed the magical barrier I settled for the compund, you should go greet them.”
“Oh, ok !”
He swinged out of the room, and said his goodbyes.”
“So....”
“I am not naming him James !”
Harley and Ivy were relaxing at their room.
“You are pissed Harls, what’s wrong.”
“Still angry that they might pardoned Barnes.”
“Babe, lest be fair to the guy, he was brainwashed, he had no control of his actions as the Winter Soilder.”
“I know that, and I don’t blame him for any of that, is just like......am I just like Barnes.”
“What ?”
“They are saying that they want to pardoned him because what happened to me, that we were both brainwashed and turtored, that part is true, and that because I got to heal, he should to. Is not that I don’t agree with that, but.....is Tony going to have to face one of the persons that left him for dead because of me ?”
“Love. You two do have some similarities, I admit that. But Tony, nor I nit anyone, will ever blame you if he gets pardoned. The guy turned himself in so who knows, Scott, Sharon and T’Challa helped Rogers, and we are cool with them, so maybe Barnes can be like him.”
“I still don’t want him close to Tony though “
“Sorry baby, that is not gonna happen.”
Tony came in into the room.
“The choice is made, they will proceed with the pardon.”
“Fuck it !”
“Harls, there might be kids around here.”
“Sorry, are you gonna have to help him with BARF ?”
“For the moment Yes, unless another candidate appears. There could be Cho, but she is busy, if Bruce returned he could do it, I taught him how to use it on the earlier version, and there is Shuri, but after what happened with Killmonger, Wakanda is in recovery mode.”
“I still can’t beilieve the guy did all what he did alone.”
“It is impressive, T’Challa said it helped him open his eyes more about how Wakanda’s old ways are no longer what is the best, and he is more decided to change them.”
“Say.......this pardon doesn’t make it more probable that Rogers and the others get one right ?” Harley asked.
“Absolutely not, the panel has celery said there is no pardoning the rouges, the in,y thing that could happen, is that there is a global emergency and they ware temporally realesed to “help” they would be more of an obstácule if you asked me, but that’s not my choice.”
“Yeah, enough about Rogers, what do we do with our wedding ? Have we found a place that marries 3 people ?” Ivy asked.
“Since that is defiantly not a common thing, the answer is no. Rhodey however said he was gonna find a way, his words were, I James mother fucking Rhodes, and Imwill find a way to get you 3 married no matter what.”
“Tonyyyyyu, no cursing!” Harley said with a smirk.”
“Fudge.”
He sat at the other side, leaving Harley in the middle, who laid down with her head in his knees, and her legs on the outside of the couch.
“Let’s just stay here and.....”
“Sorry to interrupt, but Colonel Rhodes wants everyone in the meeting room now.” FRIDAY said.
“Why FRI ?”
“Loki has returned, and he has a warning.”
