Chapter 9
I signaled for Pepper to leave. She did.
"Tony, you and I both know Happy has loved Pepper for the longest time. You're lucky she picked your idiot ass instead of Happy"
"I know…"
"If we don't tell him, he'll be butt hurt if he finds out through someone else."
"Maybe that's what we need"
"Tony! Happy is your friend. He's also a skilled combatant. It'll be less hurtful if Pepper tells him, because he wouldn't get mad at Pep. If he wants a fight, then he'll get one. I can beat him any day. Even without powers. Agent Melissa May trained me in combat. So did Cisco. Cisco helped train the Flash himself. He also trained Kid Flash and Jesse Quick. Fury trained me. Hank Henshaw trained me. The strongest people in the multiverse have trained me in combat, and how to use my powers. I think I can destroy Happy if he interferes with your relationship."
"Damn. I was gone for three months, and my cousin is a changed person."
"Heard that! I'm not that different then before!"
"Whatever helps you sleep at night"
"That's my line!"
"whatever,"
Pepper walked in with a grim expression.
"We have a guest."
Agent Coulson walked in.
"We need to talk. Is there any private places we could?"
"Well, this whole house is sound proof… but the most private place here is the basement."
We walked into the basement.
"What would you like to speak about?"
"I have come with Erik Selvig's research on the tesseract. Hopefully you can use it in any way possible."
He placed the files on one of the desks and walked out.
"I can vibe the files to see where Doctor Selvig is."
"Good idea. Get to work Agent Allen."
"Thanks, Mr Stark. Here, I can vibe us both there."
"What if you can't."
"Well, to be honest, you'd get lost in the dark, cold, scary place of the speed force… JK. If you do get lost, the speed force creates a fake setting that's warm and happy as long as you're on it's good side. As long as you don't let go, you'll be okay."
"Sounds interesting. Julia, you know I trust you with my life,"
"I know. And you won't die today, or anytime soon."
I quickly hugged him and vibes Erik's research. I know where they are. That sneaky son of a bitch.
