DAMAGE CONTROL
Darcy Lewis watched the mind of James Rhodes fill with rage and murder the rogue Avengers, with great satisfaction. she did not approve of the method, the speed of it and the lack of suffering for her beloved merchant, but heck if they did not deserve it. Darcy watched intently with great joy as their souls were dragged by lesser demons into the underworld. She would receive them later, but first she had to help Rhodey and the consequences of his outburst.
"I can't believe my Rhodey bear killed them" Darcy hears a voice next to her.
"What did you expect baby, besides that those bastards deserved it" she replied with a sensual smile without taking her eyes off, amused by the souls of Romanov and Rogers trying to get rid of the demons.
"Yes, but we needed them, they are one of the few remaining that would be of help against Thanos"
"Baby, I adore you, but that is rubbish ... nah, for the only thing they serve is for cannon fodder" she spent a moment thinking and considering everything, then "I think I've seen enough, it's time to intervene and put hand to this mess "
"What do you mean?" Tony looks at her suspiciously in his eyes
"Don't worry Stark" he said with a funny smile "right now I must help James"
"Firstly, I told you it was Tony or baby" he said with the smile that characterizes him so much, to which Darcy returned with his own smile, but more affectionate "and secondly, no matter how powerful you are, I don't think that you can do a lot against Thanos, He has all the stones and third if you could do something, why didn't you do it before all this happened? "
"Not BABY now" she emphasized the last word, pulling out a smile. "Now shut up, I'll go see your Rhodey and then I'll explain it to them" he ended up materializing in his room in case FRIDAY had to show the video of what happened, he quickly went to James to help him. Darcy was in the process of putting him on the couch when the others appeared.
"WHAT HAS HAPPENED LADY DARCY?" Thor asked assimilating the bodies, quickly placed himself in the battle position "Are we being attacked by the allies of MAD TITAN? Madam FRIDAY, where are the abominable enemies", finished looking around the room
"I do not register enemies, Mr. Odinson"
"I think it was James" said Dr. Banner, approaching Rhodey and pointing the gun in his hands.
"THAT CANNOT BE POSSIBLE, WE ARE BROTHERS OF ARMS. MAD TITAN HAS HANDLED THE MIND OF BROTHER RHODAS AND FORCED HIM TO COMMIT SUCH ACTS AGAINST HIS BROTHERS ", he concludes with conviction.
"Yeah right," Tony snorted next to him and Darcy barely controlled her laugh, shot him a warning look to shut up, which made him smile and wink at her.
"Dr. Banner is correct, Mr. Odinson," he replied Friday, drawing Darcy into the conversation. "Colonel Rhodes showed up in the common room and overheard the conversation between Mr. Rogers and Mrs. Romanov in which they discussed BOSS, mocking her sacrifice and without the respect that my creator deserved "she said ice in her voice and with an incredible amount of poison for an AI" I think colonel Rhodes had a crisis because immediately after the attack he passed out "after a continuous pause" If I can add, even if we really needed numbers against Titan Thanos, I don't see how the deaths of Mr. Rogers and Mrs. Romanov tilt things in favor of THANOS, their contribution did not show a significant difference in battle as the force Physics is necessary, yes, but these are not the methods that were needed at the moment "they ended on Friday with malice bordering on satisfaction, there was a pause followed by his statement in which those present tried to assimilate with surprise the coldness of the normally educated AI.
"We can see the power of security cameras on FRIDAY" Rocket broke the silence, he sat close to the bodies looking at them coldly, without verbally answering FRIDAY showed the recordings to the present, after the video ended, Rocket said: " Is that man serious? He wants the shield, the shield with which he nearly killed Stark, the shield his father made and which he renounced after betraying Stark, seriously?" Disbelief and disgust in his words "Stark doesn't work as a team? He did what no one else damn did, he almost managed to take Thanos' glove off until Quill's fool ruined him. I knew they believed they were always right and they had their ego through the roof, so I heard from Breasts there (pointing their claws at Darcy) and Rhodes, but I think they're just stupid," he spat furiously at the words he heard.
"I don't think the good Captain wanted to express himself as he did about Brother Stark ..." Thor began.
"Oh come on big boy, those idiots wanted to say every word" Darcy interrupted speaking at the same time as Tony snorted "come on, that's dishonorable right? Rhodey is Tony's brother, so technically he was saving his honor, isn't that what you guys do in Asgard? "she said with a sigh and when Thor opened his mouth to say something, he interrupted him again" Wouldn't you do that for Loki? "Maliciously, squinting and crossing his arms, challenging him to refute his words to what Thor wisely kept silent.
"I like the way you use that viper tongue, baby," Tony whispered into her ear causing chills, Darcy glanced sideways at him, but didn't reply.
"What we have to think about is what to do now", speaking Banner for the first time, Tony looked at him sadly and Darcy understood, from what he heard from Rhodey and FRIDAY, Tony considered Bruce as a friend and Bruce also welcomed him Rogers with open arms. Bruce may not have known what happened in the civil war, but he didn't try to find out either. Tony always supported him, but that feeling was not reciprocal.
"First bury the bodies of the Captain and the Russian spy" Nebula replied coldly and Darcy saw why Tony liked the woman / robot "maybe we should use the blood of the super soldier and see if we can improve other humans" she said, then stopped when everyone looked at her in surprise "Stark told me everything on the return trip", she said with an offended look "apart from the blood ... I don't see them as more useful than fertilizers"
"I don't think recreating the serum is a good idea" Bruce said with a contrite face, taking off his glasses and cleaning them with his shirt "Hulk came out of looking to recreate the serum"
"I don't think it's a bad idea Doc, we are many humans without powers who survived after the snap, the numbers would help us in case of another invasion," added Darcy. "We will have to ask for the help of the Queen of Wakanda and the remaining scientists."
"And my help" said Friday "Doctor Banner, after you and Boss stabilized extremis, Boss worked to form a serum with the formula extremis and super soldier, which was carried out with 93% success in recreating a serum stable without rejection for a critical patient "FRIDAY projected graphics while speaking, opening a project folder to Bruce, who looked at the data with a fascinated and impressed look.
"Why didn't Tony use it, FRIDAY?" he asks absentmindedly reviewing everything with enthusiasm "this is incredible, if it worked it could be used with less power to cure all kinds of diseases"
"The boss left the planet" she replied without emotion in her voice "the AREA 52 project ended just one week before the attack on the earth" ended FRIDAY with affection in her voice for the name that its creator gave the Project. Darcy gave Tony an exasperated look that said: did you really name him that? to which he replied with a shrug with a wolfish smile
"A week? And you already had all this ...?" amazement in his voice
"As good as it is, first we have to fix the communications in Milan and try to communicate with the others, who have survived Thanos and want to confront his army, many will want revenge, I want revenge," Rocket spat.
"The rabbit is right, we must seek help from other kingdoms"
"HEY," Darcy and Rocket protested, ofended
"Very well, first contact Queen Shuri so she can help us and the remaining scientists fix Milano and then the Doc here," said Darcy, pointing to Bruce, "recreating the serum for weak humans."
"I think ..." Bruce started, but Rhodes woke up with a groan and cut Bruce off.
"What ... what happened?" Rodhes asked, sitting down
"well, you get trigger happy with the rogues, Bear Rodhey," said Tony, looking at him fondly "" and I'm so proud, darling, it's the best gift you've ever given me "putting his hand over his heart, which earned him a Darcy's look of loving exasperation
"Well ... you killed them, Rhodey, but don't worry darling, we decided they deserved it and that you defended Tony's honor" Darcy replied with a funny smile
DARCY
"LADY DARCY" voices were heard rebuking her, but she gave them a saccharine smile
"What? We decided like that, right?" She said mockingly, ending with a small kick to Rogers' body that earned him laughter from Nebula and Tony, a look of exasperation from Thor and a look of disapproval from Bruce, neither of which Darcy paid attention to.
"Rhodes, we understand what happened, it was wrong ... they were our allies and we are in a crisis. We cannot afford to lose people, but it cannot be reversed, so we have to go ahead and achieve our goal, that of save what we have left of the earth and disengage ourselves from the threats." Bruce finished with a sigh and then continued "I think it's a good idea to fix the Milano and recreate the serum in case of another fight."
"As Lady Darcy said, I cannot convict you for upholding Brother Stark's honor, besides guilt has already been committed, fights between us will not bring the Captain and Spider Lady to death" Thor ended with a pat on the back from Rhodes
"Okay, great man," Darcy started. "I'm going to take Rhodey to bed so he can rest, and then I'll prepare food for you and the scientists before they starve," She said as he helped Rhodey out of the room.
Already in the corridor on the way to Rhodes' room, look in the corner at a camera that is directed to FRIDAY "FRIDAY, honey, contact Queen Shuri and inform her of the good news and that they need it for the repair of Milano"
"On that, lady boss," she heard Friday's happy reply in her ear.
"First my platypus and now you earn my girl FRI loyalty" Tony complains walking next to her "Come on Breasts, I don't like to be ignored "he continues to annoy her arrogantly until She enters Rhodes' room.
"If you don't want me to call you Stark, then you won't call me Breasts," Darcy replies arrogantly and turns to stay between Tony and Rhodey
"What ... what, Tony? Darcy, what's going on here?" calls Rhodes with shock and confusion, Darcy sighs as she looks among the men he has come to respect and prepares for an explanation.
