THREE
She wasn’t allowed to leave the medical wing until Dr. Banner gave her the OK.
That was almost about a week ago and now she’s standing in a conference room with most of the avengers there.
Tony believed her with all the facts that she was spewing and information that wasn’t even known to the public, he couldn’t help but to believe her. Steve on the other hand was still a bit cautious. But he would let the others decide.
Natasha and Clint were just looking at her, with a Neutral expression.
“Hi I’m Armani, it's really cool to meet you both.” She was Definitely fanGirling at this point. It was time to get into it.
“Ok so, Tony says you're from a different world?” Clint looked from her to tony.
“I don’t believe it.” Nat said getting up to her. Natasha wasn’t much taller than she was, but she looked at her with a death stare, and she knew she could and would kill her, Amani Swallowed looking nervous.
“umm I can prove it!”
“Oh boy, here we go.” Tony looked annoyed and Steve just smiled knowing this was going to freak them out a bit.
“Ok so, During New York Natasha, you went to go see Loki in the puny god cell, you were trying to get information which pissed him off by the way.”
She was waving her hands around enthusiastically; she was always one to use her entire body to speak.
“He calls you a mewling quim, or as I find out, a Whiny vagina.”
Armani's face was red. Natasha looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
'Tony could have told you that.’ She Crosses her arms in a black widow stand.
Armani Leaned into whisper in her ear Hoping that she wasn’t going to get punched or killed.
“ I know you have a sister.”
Natasha looked at her and was surprised and moved to sit down, Clint walked between them both and raised an eyebrow Natasha shook her head not opening to speak about what she said.
“ I know more about everyone, but like I told Tony there's just something that I need to do first.”
“ And what will that be?” Clint asked looking at her when dr. Banner came in with a tablet and a very fluffy and clean Thor with a new blue collar.
“ hey dr.b, oh look at you boy don’t you look all Clean and with a new Collar.” bending down to give him scrubs as he gives her kisses. Clint looks at the dog with excitement. Thor being the happy attention seeking Doggo that he is, he moves over to get more attention from Clint.
“ Is that for me?” She looked over at dr. Banner as he hands the tablet and sits down next to Tony.
“ That is everything we have on 2012 as you have been calling it.”
“Thank you, now I’m going to tell you something that is going to piss all of you off.”
Armani looks at it all looking for a picture of Clint and Loki , then puts them up and the Screen in the small conference room they had.
“ Ok then, what are we looking at?” Tony said as sarcastically as physically possible.
“ Oh come on, really Tony, as one of the smarter people here I hope to hell you see what i see.” He looks at her then at Photos on the Hologram and his face when pale.
“ You're not trying to tell me that Loki, that Psychopathic narcissistic killer, was under Control by the scepter.” Everyone in the room tensed up, looking from you to the picture you could cut the tension with a knife
“ Look, I know it sounds Crazy but you have to hear me out.” Everyone was looking at her with expressions of horror and annoyance on their faces.
” What I’m trying to tell you, Loki is not the biggest bad you’re going to have to deal with. He’s been mistreated his entire life, cast off to the shadow and he wants out.” She stopped and looked at them and took a deep breath, Time to Give them a small glimpse of what’s going to happen.
“ Someone is coming , and that someone wants Half of all life gone.” She snapped her fingers looking at them.
“ as in earth.” Steve asked, standing up looking at her.
“ No, as in all of the Universe, he wants half of the universe gone.”
The room was quiet, tony looked like he just saw a ghost, Clint and Nat looked at one other then at her, Bruce just rubbed his face. The room looked like they were in complete panic. Armani looked at Tony moving over to him, he looked up at her.
“ Tony you win, saving everything.” He looked up at her his face a very very very ghost white , she puts a hand on his shoulder she looks sad but smiles softly
“ Tony, Nat, Loki and two others die.” She looked sad. She wanted to cry. It was hard for her. These were the people that she grew up with, the people that got her through middle school and high school and are most of her comfort characters.
“ I can’t tell you who the person is because I don’t know if I’ll mess up the timeline. I just want to start off with everything and give you a small amount of what I know, so much more happens in between and I’m going to try to stop it and fix it.”
She moved to sit. Looking at them, she needs to explain this better. But how on god's green earth is she going to do that?
“ You never told us how you know this.” Clint asks.
“ well..” she knew that was going to come up and Tony's been asking. “ so, all of you are movie Characters in my world we call the MCU or, Marvel cinematic universe, full franchise tons of movies, comic books, cartoons, you name it it’s probably there.” Tony laughed looking at her getting up and moving to the window.
‘Tony , how is this funny, you just found out you're going to die.” Steve says, looking at Tony with his arms crossed. Tony Turns around and walks over to Armani Putting a hand on her shoulder and smiling.
“ Please tell me I died with style, at least please tell me it was a good tearjerker.” You could feel the Iroll from everyone in the room.
“ There was not a dry eye in the theater. You went out pretty good to,” she smiled “ You look the bastard right in the eyes and said I am Iron Man; killed the fucker. That was the best moment, I couldn’t stop crying and used up an entire box of Kleenex between you and Natasha’s death.”
“ Well I have to say saving everyone and saying those words made me look like a badass.” He moved to sit back down. Armani knows that what he would say ,she looked at nat and then back to tony.
“ If I had it my way, it would never have happened. Tony you had a daughter, she was five and never knew her father after that.” He looked shocked and nervous at the exact same time.
“ what about nat, you said she dies.” Clint looks at her then nat.
“ At this point I’m not disclosing any more information until we get to a point where I’m comfortable.” She looks around the room trying to gauge everyone’s emotions. It was sad and shocking.
“ Well I think everyone needs to take a break and we will all come back for dinner, Jarvis what time is it?” Tony got up moving to the door.
“ It is about 2:37 pm sir.”
“ ok, Dinner is at 6 , ok Elsa so you’re coming with me.”
**************************
Armani moved to follow Tony out of the conference room leaving everyone in a very uncomfortable state. Tony didn’t say much of anything on the way to where he was taking her. Thor in his now blue collar followed beside her with the happiest look on his face.
“ Hey, Tony I’m sorry for dropping that on you guys I just needed you guys to believe me.” He stopped and looked at her.
“ It's cool kid, if I am going to go out at least I save the universe.” Tony sarcasm seeped through every word he said. It was about another 2 minutes when they made it to a door?
Tony reached over and opened the door, and stepped aside, she looked at Tony. Moving she walks into the bedroom and looks around. It was a very big room, there was a queen size bed, two nightstands, two lamps, a very nice, comfortable duvet, and top of it with lots of pillows. There was a chair in front of the bed more like a loveseat. There is a nice flatscreen TV and a mini fridge and two doors. She walked over to the first one to find that it was a walk-in closet with plenty of space for clothes that she didn’t have. She was currently borrowing some clothes from Natasha that were a bit small. She had walked into the other room to find a ginormous bathroom, shower and bathtub and a beautiful vanity sink duo, which she rolled over.
“ Wow Tony!” She turned around to see Tony standing in the bedroom with his arms crossed, and a smirk on his face.
“ Well here you go Elsa enjoys it. I’ll have Jarvis get you when dinner is here we’re having pizza.”
Tony walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her, leaving her in her new room.
Armani walked back into the bathroom looking at herself, it was a bit funny that she looked like this. White hair and a Kind of Bluish eyes. She looked different and she was ok with that, Thor pranced in and sat smiling up at her. The big dog was happy and most likely Extremely confused.
Dogs are Smart. Bending down she starts to pet him. He felt clean, not waxy like he normally is. When she got sore they told her that she was going to need to give him a bath regularly because of his oily tendencies. But she still loved Thor to death even knowing she had to give him a bath. She gets up and moves over to the couch where she pats the cushion next to her. Thor walks over and jumps next to her putting his head into her lap.
This was a day. God only knew now how she was going to get to Asgard and convince Odin to release Loki to her,, and on top of that the rest of the team will probably have her head. At this point she just wanted food and a long bath.
“Hey Jarvis, what time is it?’ She looks up at the ceiling.
“It is 2:58 pm ma’am.” She smiled
“ OK, i'm going to have a bath.'' She gets up and cringes a little inside.” And do you think you could maybe ask Tony if there’s any way that I can get a different change of clothes? Natasha's clothes are a bit small and I’m not enjoying it.” She giggles.
“ mr. Stark says that there will be some clothes left on your bed for you by the time that you are out of your bath miss.” Jarvis says in his sassy AI voice.
“Thank you Jarvis” she moved to the door Closing and stripping it to get into the bath.
******************************************************
Tony looked at the computer, Oblivious to what’s going on around him. There was just so much happening all at once. Armani She was telling the truth the read out from that night and from the alleyway gave off a different molecular structure from everything around here, Showing it’s like from either the future or the past or something in between. Everything is the true God, everything is going to change .
He dies. Leaving a six year old, He leaves pepper as well and God knows what else happens between then and now. At this point he needs to drink a really really good drink. Tony needs to talk to someone at this point. He needs to talk to pepper.
But she’s currently in China doing something for work. He doesn't pay attention he knows he should but he doesn’t pay attention.
It’s only been a few months since New York and he is still having some issues with Loki, no she’s telling him that there’s something bigger and Loki wasn’t behind at all.
He pulls up the New York file looking through the pictures and everything that he has on Loki's.
He just stares at the hologram, at the man that threw him out of the window; made him take a nuke into space nearly killing him.
His eyes were blue but how can I be sure that they are not supposed to be blue? He looked over the picture of Barton with his glassy blue eyes and did an expression.
She is possibly right the fuck is an infinity stone and why won’t she tell us any more fucking information. Tony grabbed his drink taking a long swig of it, taking a breath and putting it down and closing the file.
“She’s driving me insane.”
“Sir, miss.Armani wants to know if she can get some clothes that are not Miss. Romanoffs?”
Tony stops, and remembering that’s all they had to give to her, he needed to place an order for clothes and whatever else she was going to need while she was here. He takes his phone and shoots a message to a personal assistant with sizes and other things that he got from her a few days ago.
“ Tell her that she’ll have some clothes by the time she’s out of her shower or whatever.” Tony says getting up and moving to the door of his lab he was going to go and talk to Banner about what’s going on.
“ yes sir” Jarvis said
“ oh and can you find out if the kids are vegetarian or vegan or anything because I want meat and if she doesn’t like it we’ll figure something out.” Tony left the lab heading to Dr. Banner on the other side of the building.
