Double Agent (Fem Reader X Tony Stark)

Chapter 49 - Stones

"I hope so too." He sighs.

The next day Thor arrives, I had traveled with Natalia a year ago to go see him. We have weekly phone calls......I was the only one checking up on him.

"Thor!" I smile as I hug him. He had changed a lot over the years.

"Y/N, it's so nice to see you. How is little Natalia? Does she still play with that toy Mjlonir I made her?"

"It's her favorite toy. Especially because Uncle Thor made it." I chuckle. "You didn't answer my call this week."

"I'm sorry...I was busy."

"You were passed out, weren't you?" I tilt my head and place my hands on my hips.

"Yeah....I was drinking a lot."

"Thor...remember what I told you about the drinking?" I ask.

"I know...I'm working on it." He smiles.

"Drifting left. On the side there, Lebowski." Tony walks past us with a part to the platform he's building.

"Tony...." I warn.

He ignores me, "Ratchet, How's it going?"

"It's Rocket. Take it easy. You're only a genius on Earth, pal."

I sigh and look over at Thor, shaking my head and walking off to find Nat.

"Hey bitch. What are you doing?" I walk into her room.

"Hey, asshole. Just looking through some photos."

I lay down beside her on my back as she holds up a photo of us from eight years ago. "Look how young we looked." I chuckle.

Nat puts down the photo and sighs. "Y/N...I just want you to know that I love you so much...and that I'm so lucky to be your sister." She turns her head to look at me.

"Nat...I'm so lucky to have you as my big sis. I love you so so so much." I smile and rest my forehead against hers. I then pull away and hold onto her hand. "Okay stop making this depressing...this plan is gonna work. I know it will." I sigh.

We look up as there's a soft knock, Steve was standing in the doorway. "Guys....time for a test run."

We all stand around and watch as Clint steps onto the platform alone. "Alright, Clint. We're going in 3... 2... 1!" Clint's helmet goes on and he suddenly disappears. "Returning in...3...2...1!"

Clint suddenly appears again, he grunts in pain and falls to his knees. Nat and I instantly run to him, "Hey, hey. Look at us." Nat grabs him.

"You okay?" I ask.

"Yeah." Clint holds up a baseball glove and taps my head with it, tossing it over to Tony. "It worked."

We then walk into a small meeting room and pull up the pictures of the Infinity Stones...we needed to figure out a plan.

"Okay, so the how works. Now we gotta figure out the when and the where. Almost all of us has had an encounter with at least one of the six Infinity Stones." Steve nods.

"Well I'd substitute the word encounter for damn well near been killed by one of the six Infinity Stones." Tony adds.

Scott shakes his head, "I haven't, I don't even know what the hell you're all talking about."

"Regardless, we only have enough Pym Particles for one round trip each, and these stones have been in a lot of different places throughout history."

"Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in." Tony says.

"Which means we have to pick our targets." I add.

"Correct." Tony smiles.

"Let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?" Steve turns to Thor, he was sitting in the corner with sunglasses on...motionless.

"Is he asleep?" I ask.

"No, I'm pretty sure he's dead."

Thor jumps up and walks to the front of the table. "Where to start? Umm... The Aether, first, is not a stone, someone called it a stone before. It's more of a... an angry sludge thing, so... someones gonna need to amend that. Here's an interesting story though, many years ago... My grandfather had to hide the stones from the Dark Elves... " He wiggles his fingers to imitate a spooky ghost. "Wooooh, scary beings. So Jane..." An image of Jane Foster pops up on the screen. "Oh, there she is. That's Jane... She's... an old flame of mine... She... she stuck her hand inside a rock this one time... and then the Aether stuck itself inside her... And, she became very, very sick. So I had to take her to Asgard, which is where I'm from. And we had to try and fix her. We were dating at the time, you see. I got to introduce her to my Mother... who's dead..." Thor starts to look broken, and seems on the verge of tears. "And oh you know, Jane and I aren't even dating anymore, these things happen though you know, nothing last forever. " Tony starts to push him back to his chair. "I'm not done yet, the only thing permanent in life is impermanence."

"Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?" Tony asks.

"I'd like a Bloody Mary, thank you."

I get Thor his Bloody Mary and order us some food. Rocket paces across the table as he talks about the next stone. "Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag."

"Is that a person?" Scott asks.

"Morag's a planet. Quill was a person."

Scotts eyes widen, "A planet? Like in outer space?"

"Oh, look. It's like a little puppy, all happy and everything. Do you wanna go to space? You wanna go to space, puppy? I'll get you to space."

This was going on for hours....still trying to figure out our plan.

At this point Tony and I were laying across the table in each others arms as Bruce lays on the floor. "That Time Stone guy..." I yawn.

"Doctor Strange." Bruce says.

"Yeah, what kind of doctor was he again?" I ask.

"Ear-nose-throat meets rabbit from a hat."

"Nice place in the village, though." Bruce says.

"Yeah. Sullivan Street."

"Hmm... Bleecker." Bruce mutters.

"He lived in New York right?" I ask.

"No. He lived in Toronto. Were you even paying attention?" Tony asks.

"Okay smart ass that was five years ago...I try not to think of that time." I roll my eyes. "What I'm trying to say is...If we pick the right year, there are three stones in New York."

Bruce sits up in surprise, "Shut the front door."

We get the team together and set up our plan with different teams and years. Steve looks at all of us, "All right. We have a plan. Six Stones, three teams. One shot."

Oh here we go...
