Tony Stark & Nicky Fury + The Avengers
Christmas was a magical time of year. For the avengers it was also the most terrifying. Not because of villains or because of world conquering alien armies but because they were reminded that Tony Stark wasn’t just a man in a suit of armor. No, he was a genius who had once created weapons of death earning him the title of merchant of death.
The genius made the gear and armor for the team but somehow it never reached the level of his old title. Christmas however was the one time of year Nick Fury didn’t act like the distant unimpressed director of Shield. It was a time for family and loved ones where Tony Stark and Nick Fury allowed the avengers to see the two actually cared for each other. Natasha and Clint had both had called bullshit when Coulson told them Fury was Tony’s godfather. Then Christmas came and Tony had jumped into the director’s arms and held up fresh baked cookies that Fury gladly ate while carrying around the genius like he was a child. It might have been cute if it had been anyone else. As it was it was a master spy and a genius playboy and had just been slightly terrifying because of how wrong the entire situation was.
Now another Christmas later the avengers now consisting of Thor’s newly reformed brother, Bucky Barnes who was no longer Hydra’s weapon, Sam Wilson, and the original avengers they were all wondering what kind of unholy weapon of untold destructive capabilities Tony had made for the director of Shield.
“Merry Christmas!” Tony cheered holding up a small device in his hand which made the avengers who had already witnessed this holiday think maybe this year would be different.
Then he pressed the button making a car appear that they hadn’t noticed. Loki, Bucky, and Sam all looked impressed.
“Cloaking technology, bulletproof, magic proof, and stocked with enough weapons to take over a small country.”
Steve looked at Tony as though to ask if he was serious while Fury looked on with a genuine smile.
“Is there a button for death ray gun or something?” Clint asked because it was a legitimate question at this point.
“What? That would be stupid.” Tony scolded the archer making him let out a relieved breathe which he quickly learned he should have waited as Tony continued. “It’s voice activated. Depending on what you want, to destroy a country, kill god himself, or just a warning shot on a comic entity which will hurt like a bitch but kill any normal being.”
Natasha slammed her head into the table because it all honesty they’ve learned not to question if Tony could back up the claims of his weapons. Loki and Bucky looked ready to steal the vehicle mostly because both had a love for weapons and stylish rides.
“Oh and it also flies.” Tony added.
“Of course it does.” Bruce muttered shaking his head.
“I love it.” Fury said before he offered his gift to Tony. “Merry Christmas.”
Tony opened it and pulled out a massive fluffy blanket that had the avengers all woven into the design including their newest members and with a tiny Fury in the background like he was hiding.
“Oh my god I fucking love it! It’s so fluffy!”
Tony immediately rolled around until he was wrapped up in a fluffy blanket burrito.
“I’m staying in here for the rest of the day; the rest of you can fuck off.” Tony said before the sound of soft snores echoed from within the depths of the fluffiness.
“Where did you buy something like that?” Sam asked curious as he dared to approach the fluff wrapped genius but a sudden almost feral growl echoed from within stopping the man in his tracks.
“I made it of course.”
Everyone looked at Fury and maybe Loki, Clint, or Sam would have made fun of Fury if not for the fact they remembered he’d just been given a flying weaponized vehicle that had the claim of being able to kill god himself. Wisely no one said anything. However Clint made the mistake of trying to wake Tony for dinner later, luckily Clint managed to escape with the help of the others with only a few bite marks and a broken wrist.
