5º Civil war and wedding plans
-Tony, relax, please. I know you are angry but fighting with the captain is not….
-He is sheltering a war criminal. They believe that he was responsible for the attack in Vienna
Haresa sighed on the mobile
-I know, but you try to get the truth explained to you. Try to find out what happens on your own. I know it doesn't help that Sergeant Barnes is so good at hiding, but… You know the Captain, if he has proof that his friend wasn't him he will fight to the death to protect him.
-Fuck, precious ... Very well, I'll look to see if somewhere in that shitty neighborhood there is a security camera that recorded the little shitty friend that is Steve
-Thanks. - Haresa sighed relieved and relaxed on the couch a bit. There were several employees cleaning and repairing some of the damage caused during the fight that took place in the tower-I partly understand the Captain. It doesn't matter how well he's adjusting. This is a time that is not his, with very different people than he is used to and he feels out of place most of the time. It is normal for him to want to hold on to something that remains from his past
--------------------------------------------
Tony looked at the supposed psychologist who had been brought in to evaluate Barnes.
-Yes, he attacked me out of nowhere. He is clearly unbalanced by his years in hydra. The best would be immediate removal
-Wait- Tony stepped forward before the military man could give his orders. -I'm very curious, and that man is a friend of someone from my team, so forgive my audacity. I put a mike on him
The man paled as his voice could be heard giving instructions after some key words
-Yes, well- the general arrested the man quickly- Just another lunatic looking for power
The military man approached Tony
-We have yet to find the Captain and the Winter Soldier.
-Maybe, but this shows that Barnes was not the one who did the attack. That means the rogue Avengers were really protecting an innocent man.
-Anyway the sergeant will have to be locked up. We'll have to find a method to erase those damn keywords and the rest of Hydra's programming. I wonder how the doctor ... - Tony interrupted him
-Just one more idiot looking for fame, he doesn't even deserve that his name be said.
-----------------------------------------
Haresa got up before the voice of Friday
-What happen?
- Mr. Stark is going to fight with Mr. Steve and Sergeant Barnes. He has to stop him, the armor is damaged and he will not be able to resist the attack of those two.
Haresa got up and ran as fast as he could to the table where he could connect with the armor.
-Tony ... - the static sounded a bit more- Tony, talk to me. Please Anthony
-It was not an accident. Haresa straightened when she heard his voice.
-Wasn't it an accident?
-He killed my parents, all this time I blamed my father and it was him- Haresa didn't think Tony was talking to her.
- Can he hear me, Friday?
-Yes, Miss Haresa
Haresa got on the mic and whispered
-My love, please. Don't do anything rash. Please.
-Haresa? -Tony's voice came soft
-Please Tony, please. Do not do anything. I know it hurts, I know it hurts a lot- Haresa's tears spilled over the table- I also wanted to kill my parents' murderer. But that man in front of you is not the murderer of your parents. It was the weapon. Please, Tony. Go back home
-Are you crying? - Behind Haresa could hear Steve's voice, soft- Don't cry, Hari.
-I know how you feel. But this won't make you feel better. Please come home. My love, you take Barnes to a place where they can deprogram him and then you come home to me. Then settle accounts with him, but don't do it when you're so upset. But don't do anything reckless. Please Tony.
-------------------------------
Twenty-three hours later Haresa hugged Tony with all the strength of him sobbing. He had a black eye, but little else.
The man took her in her arms and carried her to the sofa where he sat with her on his lap. The man hummed softly as Haresa calmed down
-Sorry, it's the hormones and we haven't been together in a couple of weeks
-It's okay. Everything is fine. Thank you for sending that healer to heal Rhodey. He will have to recover, but he will be able to walk again in a year.-Tony caressed Haresa's head with a distracted gesture
-And the rest?
-Well, since it was shown that Barnes was accused of the attack, they are only going to get a slap on the wrist. A ban to leave the country for three years and little more. Wanda has asked for psychological counseling and it has been granted. Clint and Natasha are staying for a while at Clint's farm.
Haresa stuck her head into Tony's neck
-And the captain?
-The King of Wakanda has the best means to deal with deprogramming Barnes. So Steve will stay in Wakanda until his friend is okay. By the way, Barnes has promised to let me beat him up without my suit after he's healed. - Tony sounded sad. -Apparently he knew my parents and he also feels bad about what they forced him to do.
Haresa pressed closer against Tony.
-Haresa… There was something you said when he was in Siberia.
-I said a lot
-You called me "my love" -Haresa blushed with that.- So, there is something I want to do. I've been planning it for the last five months.
Haresa watched as he rummaged in the pocket of her suit jacket and pulled out a small box. She stiffened quickly.
-Haresa. Would you do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Stark? - The box opened and revealed a small sparkling ring. In a band of gold he had set a small arc reactor- It is not functional, it only lights up, but it will light up forever.
Haresa clung to Tony
-Yes I accept
Tony kissed her as she slipped the ring he had created on her finger. Gods, mother magic and Merlin, she loved that man
--------------------------------
- Have you already thought about the wedding? - - Tony looked at Pepper while Haresa and Rhodey were in the pool of the complex. One of them doing the exercises to re-learn to walk and the other doing some gentle exercise due to the pregnancy
-No, why would I think about that? Just sign the documents and that's it
Pepper smiled menacingly
-Did you like my wedding, Tony?
-Yes, it was incredible. You were beautiful, good food, good music. Why are you asking me now? --- Pepper reached into her bag and pulled out a folder that fell with an incredibly heavy noise on the table. The folder was about eight inches thick and there were post its and other things coming out of it -What is this?
- This, my dear friend, is my wedding filing cabinet. All the details of my big day are here, as are the eight months of preparation. From tasting the menu, to materials for invitations, wine tastings and cakes. As well as hairdressers, beauticians, tailors and others.
-All this?
-Of course, nothing was random. - Pepper's eyes were seen with a menacing glint. - For a woman, the wedding day is a litmus test. If you make it very simple you will look boring, if you make it very elaborate you will be tacky. They will not remember the thousands of successes, they will only see the most insignificant failure. If you leave everything in the hands of an organizer you are lazy, if you do it all by yourself you are a control freak. Men really all you have to do is put on a damn suit and look pretty at the altar.
Tony swallowed hard and looked at the filing cabinet.
-Are these tests hairdressing? Three weeks?
-Of course, I had to try the look of different collected with the wedding dress. And my hair could get damaged if I handled it too much at once
---------------------------------------
Haresa lay down on the bed with Tony, who was on a creative streak, due to the amount of papers around him and how fast he was typing on his laptop. Haresa straightened a little to kiss her cheek until she saw that she was looking at wedding dresses for pregnant women.
-Are you planning our wedding?
Tony took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes wearily
-No, it's just the preliminary investigation. Do you know how much work a wedding takes?
-That's why people hire organizers- Haresa huffed.-Magical ceremonies are only done in front of the family, then a social event is held after the honeymoon
-Can I keep your traditions? I know how to organize a party, but I don't want to have to look for an officiant who can use inclusive language that does not harm sensibilities.
-Why would we need that?
-Because I am a media figure and many people would attend my wedding.- Haresa made a strange gesture with her mouth
-If it were up to me we would get married in a court and then we would go to eat Fish and Chips at a place run by a British man. I miss the Fish and Chips.
Tony laughed and typed a message to Friday to find out the addresses of restaurants with real Fish and Chips. Anything to quell a possible craving. At the moment the only thing that seemed to activate his hormones was the dissatisfaction of his cravings. From bananas to breakfast rostbeef.
Tony looked at Haresa and brushed a strand from her forehead. His heart beat almost painfully
He was a lucky man
------------------------------------
Four very exhausted postal owls left a package on the breakfast table. Haresa looked at them. The morning sickness hadn't gone away soon in this pregnancy, at least it was morning, not like with twins.
She with the twins she lived clinging to a toilet while she vomited up to her heart from certain smells for the first three months. If it weren't for the soups Mrs. Weasley sent she would have starved to death. In this pregnancy she would wake up with retching, she would throw up some bile and she just had to make sure she was away from Tony's coffee pot.
She was under the impression that she was within two grams of the lethal amount of caffeine from the way her coffee smelled. Honestly, Americans didn't know how to drink coffee. They made those big pots of watered down coffee instead of making the potent little doses that the Spanish drank.
Haresa looked at the package and knew it was from Lily. He wondered what the girl had sent them until an envelope on top of her started to smoke.
- Who taught Lily to send a howler? - Haresa approached the sofa as fast as she could and covered her ears with two cushions just in time.
Her daughter's howl of joy resounded and was loud enough for Tony to come running into the room with his suit gauntlets on and armed. Haresa looked at him as the letter turned into a mass of exclamations indicating that they should have waited to make the proposal by the time she was home.
-… I have also attached books with marriage rituals that could pass in photos as slightly eccentric Muggle weddings. But don't get married until I and Orion get back! I want to be at my parents' wedding!
Haresa under the cushions as the envelope tore into pieces and sighed
-I didn't know they could do that- Tony said taking off his gauntlets and putting them in a safe place
-If you can. Although it is a bit advanced for her age. Most of the howlers I have seen were the ones that mothers sent to Hogwarts students when they crossed the line and received letters from the teachers.
-It's a good way to scold
-I know, I have sent you a few-Haresa noticed Tony's gaze on her- When they were eleven years old they set fire to the incantation classroom, managed to sink the boathouse and made the acromantulas of the forbidden forest try to invade the school. It was a complicated year
Tony wiped away imaginary tears
-They are my worthy children
