Mera
"So you dated Lois Lane ?" Yelena asked.
"It wasn't my best moment." Sharon added.
"Please, you almost gave me a heart attack in that relationship."
"Shut up. I have so many bad dating stories with you. Pepper is just the peak of the iceberg, and you two are still good friends. Remember that girl Rachel, or the time you were with Everhart. Or what about those months that you dated Bruce Wayne."
"Ok we promised not to bring that one up. I was young and stupid. I was figuring out what were my sexual tastes, and messed that up a lot. It was the time i decided I only liked women."
"How could you not. We are gorgeous. Besides you guys patched things up......holly shit. My dating life is worst than yours."
"Haha, got you."
They got close to the truck Yelena had used to get there.
"Eh someone will have to use the back to ride."
"Naw you guys go alone." Tony waved. "Kinda in the mood for a flight. Beside I wound't want to interrupt."
"God you're impossible." Sharon winned. But Tony could tell she was secretly grateful.
Tony walked to them towards the car. Not noticing that a person had just come out of the ocean, and was looking at him. Then quickly got back on the sea before they were looked at.
"You girls get there safely ok."
"Don't worry. I am gonna get your dear cousin safely."
"Man I already like you a lot. If only Sharry hadn't been there first."
He closed the door and saw them off.
"Ok, let's wait for the suit and see..."
SPLASH !
Tony turned to the sound, and saw the person.
A woman. Red hair....so red that it might be unnatural to others. She wore a green scaled suit, and.....holly shit was she pretty.
But he knew exactly where she came from. So nope !
"No no no."
"I've been looking for you."
"No no no."
"I need you to come with me to Atlantis."
"Yeah right. Like this I'll be welcomed there."
"You defeated Loki and Ultron, and saved the world. Saved Atlantis. That those give you recognition from our people."
"Look I'll tell you what I told that rusty starfish Vulko. Except nice cause you are a lady, no thank you, not interested."
"Your half brother, King Orm, is planning to wage war on the surface."
That finally got Tony's attention.
"Billions will die. Both your people, and mine. We must stop him."
"And how do you propose we do that ?"
"You are the first born of Queen Maria. The throne is yours by birth right."
"Yeah right." He chuckled.
"The only way to stop this war, is to stop him. You must dethrone him, and reclaim your rightful place, as King."
"You think Orm is just gonna step down if I arrive. No, I am the halfbreed son of a Queen your people executed. Do you don't think that's gonna affect everything."
By her look, he knew she thought the same.
"Trust me. I am no King."
"From what it looks like. You are a leader."
"Please don't bring the Avengers into this."
"Why ? Even in Atlantis we have heard the tales of Iron Man."
"Yeah, well have you heard about how things ended up with the team. The truth that Captain America held from me. How my mother was found by your people."
"No one in Atlantis cares for Captain America. For us he is just another regular human."
"Point taken. But still, if I was a so great leader. That wouldn't have happened."
"On the Avengers, you had people that weren't loyal. Atlantis is loyal to the King. Vulko really believes on you."
"Old man has always been mistaken for that. I don't even know the first thing about being King."
"I know...look it's not ideal. But the situation is urgent. Loki, Ultron ? They are nothing like what Orm wants to do with the surface. You need to reclaim your birthright."
"Listen. My birthright ? It died with my mom. And I am tired of fighting for a world that always blames me for everything. However, if Orm touches one of my people. Then I'll make sure he feels what all of Iron Man's enemies feel."
Tony got in the suit, and flew away after that.
"Dam it."
Meanwhile at the Indian Ocean.
David waited, holding his father's knife with him. For the dam buyer to appear.
Suddenly, the water bellow his ship shined brightly, and a gigantic ship came bellow it.
Soldiers wearing white armor came out of it, and went straight to David.
"Finally."
David stood up and faced the Atlantan soldiers head on.
The leader walked towards him, and used a screen to summon a water hologram.
King Orm came on it.
"That submarine was barely operational....but it served it's purpose."
"One of your kind interfered." He sneered.
"Who the...ah i see. He is not one of us."
"HE KILLED, MY FATHER !"
Orm shrugged, as he didn't care.
"Our transaction has ended." The lead solder dropped a sack full of gold coins. "Here, as we accorded. Now do yourself a favor and tell Hydra not to interfere with what's about to happen."
"Keep the money. I want Stark !"
"Puft. You are joking right ? Hasn't Hydra tried to take down Iron Man for so long ? yet fail every single time. No. Stark is Atlantean, therefore my problem now. It's actually pretty personal."
"WELL GET IN THE LINE THEN ! I HAD NO IDEA HE WAS ONE OF YOU !"
"As I said. He is not one of us. Well not fully one of us. I do think him being halfbreed, makes him above your species."
"YOU LITTLE..."
"Anyway. I got a war to fight. So you better, stay away. If I need more business, I'll find you."
Orm deactivated the hologram, and the solders walked away. Back to their ship, and took it bellow the depths.
David growled in rage.
"I'll get you Stark. I'll avenge my father."
Tony flew threw the air. Following his cousin's truck.
"King, me ? Can you believe it FRI ?"
"To be fair Boss. You were a CEO. Basically the King of S.I. You do know how to lead."
"FRI...you heard what Atlantis did to Mom. If for only loving someone of the surface they killed her, imagined what they would do to me."
"You don't know that for certain Boss. Atlantis would be lucky to have you as their King."
"FRIDAY my dear. I am honored on how good you think of me. But do I deserve it ?"
"You certainly do Boss I.........Boss ! I just got a notification. The Emergency Alert System has started sounding on the area."
"There is an EAS ? What's happened."
"Tsunami warning boss. There's an incoming tsunami."
"Tsunami ! Shit !"
That's when Tony noticed the birds flying away from the shoreline.
He turned his head towards the sea and...
"HOLLY SHIT !"
The biggest wave he had ever seen came straight towards the land.
He was safe on the air, but....
"SHARON !"
Yelena and Sharon drove unaware of the upcoming danger.
"I liked your cousin. Seems dickish that Natalia screwed him over."
"Yeah your sister was never able to truly leave the Red Room behind."
"She's just like Alexie. Though it also explains why supers solders are all idiots."
Sharon giggled. "Agreed."
She turned to the window, and saw the birds flying away.
"What the..."
She turned to the sea, and saw it.
"SHIT ! YELENA DRIVE !"
Yelena noticed the wave. "Son of a bitch !" She pressed the accelator, and tried to get away.
But the truck was nothing compared to the wave, and soon, it caught up to them.
"You know, this is a cool way to die !"
"NO IT IS, THIS IS MY PHOBIA !"
"Oh oh."
The water hit their truck, and rolled them over.
Sharon's world went black.
Tony watched in horror as the truck was consumed by the wave.
"FRIDAY open the suit !"
The suit opened and Tony fell to the water.
Atlantean instincts kicked in. He desperately searched for the woman.
"SHARON !" He yelled. "SHARON !"
Tony had to kicked ships away. The wave had brought a dam bunker and there was....shit everywhere !
"SHARON !"
"BOSS, OVER THERE !"
Tony looked, and saw that on the whole chaos. There was an...strange bubble.
He went in, and discovered this place was not underwater.
"What the ?"
That's when she came back. The same Atlantean woman from before came in. Her eyes were shining blue, and she extended her arms.
She was doing this. Controlling the water !
"Woah."
"Behind you !" She yelled.
Tony looked, and saw a familiar truck.
"CUZ !" He ran to them, and ripped the door apart.
Yelena was stumbling out of the truck, but Sharon was still on her chair.
"She's not breathing !" Yelena cried.
Tony pulled her out of the truck and tried to give CPR.
"Sharon. Stay with me Sharon."
The water finally subsided, and the woman was able to stop using her power. She rushed to them."
"She's not breathing !"
"Move let me help !"
She kneeled besides him, and used her powers to get the water out of Sharon.
Soon, his little cousin woke up and threw up a lot of water.
"Sharon." Tony said relived as he hugged her.
Yelena looked relieved, so did the other woman. Tony turned to hell, full of gratitude.
"You know...I don't even know your name."
She nodded at him.
"It's Princess Y'Mera Xebella Challa.....You may call me Mera."
Tony nodded at her. "Thank you Mera."
Mera nodded, and walked towards the shoreline.
"Here, take care of her for me for a sec." Tony walked towards where Mera had gone.
"This was Orm's doing. The rest is still to come."
Tony looked at the destruction, and finally got the magnitude of the situation.
"Oh shit."
"The first attack was successful my King." Vulko said, though inside of him, he was sadden by the loss of life. Mera needs to bring Tony in fast.
"Good. That was just a small one. Let's get the next ready."
"And where will it land my King ?"
Orm smirked.
"The Avengers Compound."
