“What…What do we do now?” Rhodey asks, head whipping from Steve to Thor to Okoye.

“I-I don’t know.” Steve says, his eyes wide in disbelief.

“I must go inform Shuri that the King-that the King is dead, she is Queen now.” Okoye says.

***

Everyone takes their time to mourn before they start looking for solutions.

“THAT WOULDN’T WORK!” Natasha snarls.

“How would you know?” Steve says, after that everyone in the room starts yelling and arguing.

“I think I may know someone who can help.” Thor says, in his booming voice.

“Who?” Shuri say.

“My wife.” Thor answers. “But I do not know where she is.”

“What do you mean?” Steve asks.

“She ran from Asgard nearly 500 years ago.” Thor answers.

“How do you even know she is still alive?” Okoye asks.

“I-I can feel her, in my bones. She is alive and lives here, on earth.” Thor says.

“How will she help us?” Natasha asks.

“She is the Goddess of Life, if half of the universe is truly dead, she may be able to bring them back.” Thor answers.

“Then we will find her.” Shuri says, as she moves towards her computer.

***

They find a legend, a witch who protects an ancient forest. It’s a long run that its actually you, they all know it, but at this point their willing to through every piece of hay to find that one needle.

“She is here.” Thor says as he steps off of the jet. “I can feel her.”

“Good.” Okoye says.

**Readers POV**

You felt it when Thor came to Earth the first time, and you had been terrified that he would come for you. But thankfully he never did, and with each visit to Earth you became more sure that he would never seek you out. Then you felt Asgard die, you mourned for the place that you once called home. One of your regrets was that Garth, your son, would never see the realm he was one day meant to rule. But Garth always understood, you wanted to raise him peacefully and not in a place where he would be forced to thrive on battle and bloodlust. Then one day, Thor returned to Earth and it felt different, almost electric.

“MOM!” Garth screams as he comes stumbling towards you. “SOMETHINGS WRONG!” Then you watch in horror as your son turns to dust in front of you. You panic and tap into your powers so you can pull him back into the land of the living, but he’s not there. It’s as if his soul is trapped somewhere, somewhere that you can’t reach. You start to run through all of the possibilities, perhaps Thor finally figured out why you ran all those years ago, that you had kept him from his son, his heir.

You rage, for weeks you swing from grief to anger, you plot your revenge on whoever took your son away from you, you were ready to burn the world down to find Garth, when you felt him. Thor was close, perhaps seeking you out. You hide within the trees, waiting to pounce on the man who might have answers about your son’s location.

“She is here.” Thor says.

“Yeah, you mentioned that already.” Natasha says.

“No, she is right her.” Thor says looking down at the ground in confusion. That’s when you jump down from the trees, landing on Thor’s back, you pull a knife out of thin air and hold it to his throat.

“WHERE IS HE?” You yell.

“Y/N? What is this about?” Thor asks.

“YOU TOOK MY SON! GIVE HIM BACK!” You scream, as Thor flips you onto the ground. Then he grabs something from his belt. Your eyes follow his hand and you are surprised to see an axe and not his usual hammer.

“Cease this madness, Y/N.” After a pause you throw the knife at him and he easily dodges and then he swings his axe towards you. You reach out and grab it.

“Perhaps you shouldn’t use a living weapon on the Goddess of Life, Husband.” You sneer as you take the axe and throw it away from the two of you. “What happened to Mijolnir?”

“Long story.” Thor grunts. “We have come for answers.”

“Answers to what?” You ask.

“Half of the universes population has died-disappeared. They have disappeared.” Thor says. “Have you truly not noticed?”

“That’s what happened to Garth.” You whisper.

“Who?” Thor asks.

“Is that your son?” A woman with pale blonde hair asks.

“Yes.” You answer. “He turned to dust right in front of me.”

“You-you have a son?” Thor asks and you nod.

“He is your son too.” You whisper.

“That is why you left.” Thor murmurs.

“I would not let Odin ruin him as he ruined you and Loki.” You say and Thor nods his head slowly.

“Is h-he dead? Like the others?” Thor asks, his voice cracking.

“No, they’re not dead, none of them are dead.” You say.

“You can bring them back then?” Okoye asks.

“No they are trapped somewhere. Somewhere that I cannot reach.” You say.

“The soul stone.” Thor gasps. “If we can get it, will you be able to get them out?”

“I do not know.” You say and Thor and his companions slouch in defeat. “But I can try.”

“So there is hope?” Thor asks as he takes your hand in his.

“H-How is she?” Bucky asks as he runs over to Wanda.

“I do not know, Tony and Bruce kicked me out of the room.” Wanda whispers as tears stream down her face.

“She’ll be okay, she has to be.” Bucky murmurs as he pulls Wanda into a hug. The two of them sit in the hallway outside of the room that’s holding you, waiting for news about your wellbeing. When the door creeks open both Wanda and Bucky jump up.

“How is she?” Wanda asks.

“Is she going to be okay?” Bucky asks at the same time.

“She’s stable.” Bruce says.

“For now.” Tony adds. “Her temperature is crazy high and we can’t figure out why…or how she’s surviving it for that matter. We don’t know when or if she’ll wake up.”

“N-o.” Wanda murmurs, her voice cracking as she bursts into tears. Bruce and Tony usher them into the medical room, encouraging them to sit with you and talk to you. Wanda and Bucky hold vigil at your bedside for nearly a week before you finally open your eyes.

***

Beep. Beep. Beep. You hear, it grounds you, then you feel something in your nose and you go to pull it out.

“Hey, hey, don’t pull at that, it’s just oxygen.”’ Bucky whispers.

“Bucky.” You say, your voice raspy from lack of use.

“Yeah, Doll, it’s me.” Bucky chuckles, but you can hear that he was crying.

“I’m hot.” You slur.

“You’re running a temperature.” Bucky says. “Tony and Bruce haven’t been able to get it down.”

“It’s burning!” You yell, as you start to writhe in pain.

“TONY! BRUCE!” Bucky screams.

“I’M ON FIRE!” You shriek.

“No, Baby doll, it’s just the fever.” Bucky says as he grasps your hand, his is cool, when you look down you see a flash of silver.

“I’M ON FIRE!” You shriek again, then you feel it, it’s almost like a vent has opened and all of a sudden you felt fine. But then you look down at your body and to your utter shock you see that you’re covered in blue flames.

“OH MY GOD! YOU’RE ON FIRE!” Tony yells as he opens the door.

“Y/N!” Wanda screams, from her place behind Tony.

“What the fuck.” You whisper as you raise your hands, looking at them with complete disbelief.

“Does it hurt?” Bruce asks as he pushes his way through Tony and Wanda.

“No, it-it feels normal.” You murmur. “It hurt before, but now……it feels….good.”

“Her body temperature is going down. It’s still higher than what it should be, but….how did you feel before this?” Bruce asks.

“Like my entire body was on fire, like on the inside.” You answer.

“But now that you’re actually on fire, you feel fine?” Tony asks and you nod. “Right, of course, makes perfect sense.”

“Do you think that you can stop the flames?” Bruce asks.

“I DON’T KNOW!” You say. “I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW I STARTED DOING THIS!” As you yell the flames around you start to dance higher and higher.

“Okay, first I think you need to calm down.”

“CALM DOWN! YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN? I’M LITERALLY ON FIRE!” You scream and the burning feeling inside of you slowly starts to return. You don’t know why you do, maybe it was instinct, but you raise your hand palm facing the ceiling and sort of just push and flames shoot from your hand, setting the ceiling aflame.

“Holy shit.” Tony murmurs. “FRIDAY, uh take care of that.”

Yes, Boss.

“Y/N! Y/N, you need to breath. You need to calm down.” Bruce says.

“I-I can’t.” You cry.

“Okay, just breathe with me. Ready?” Bruce says and you nod frantically. It takes some time, but eventually you get your breathing under control and then the flames slowly start to dissipate, until they are all distinguished.

“What the fuck is happening to me?” You ask, staring at four shocked faces.

“I-I have no idea.” Bruce murmurs. “But we’ll figure it out, I promise.”

“He’s a nerd, and wanted to see the lab.” You say and Chris nods excitedly. Bruce and Tony spend hours talking to Chris. So by the time they’re done it’s time for dinner. The four of you go up together. When you get up there you notice the tables already set and the food is placed on the table. “Hey everyone, this is Chris! Chris this is-.”

“I already know!” Chris says smiling at the team, everyone smiles back, everyone but Steve and Bucky. Everyone moves to sit down for dinner, that’s when you notice there isn’t a table setting for Chris. So you go into the kitchen to get him a plate.

“Can’t he do that himself?” Bucky snarls.

“He doesn’t know where everything is.” You say, confused. After you get the plate and things, you place them down. Then you go to grab one of the pots of food.

“Be careful it’s ho-.” Nat starts, but it doesn’t register soon enough and you hiss in pain as you retract your hand. Chris grabs it from you and watches the small burn heal, and he smiles at you.

“That will never cease to amaze me.” Chris murmurs.

“Really that little burn? I thought you had standards for this now.” You joke.

“I mean, I don’t think I can cut your toe off at the table. Things like that are frowned upon in society.” Chris jokes.

“You. Cut. Off. Her. Toe?” Steve seethes.

“I mean, yeah, it was a test. We we’re pretty sure it would grow back.” You shrug. The topic of conversation changes, but both Bucky and Steve spend the rest of dinner glaring at Chris- who was squirming under the super soldier’s gazes.

“It’s getting late, I should start heading back.” Chris says as dinner comes to an end.

“I’ll walk you out.” You say as you stand up. Everyone tells Chris that it was nice to have met him- everyone but Steve and Bucky, their eyes just follow him as he moves around the room. “I’m sorry about them. I don’t know what was up with Steve and Bucky, their usually really nice and-.”

“They’re in love with you.” Chris says as he rolls his eyes.

“Don’t joke. It isn’t funny.” You murmur.

“They are, I saw the way they looked at you.” Chris argues.

“They’re from the 40’s. I doubt they would want to be in a polyamorous relationship, plus they’re so in love with each other, they don’t need me.” You say.

“You’re awesome. They’d be lucky if you even looked their way.” Chris says pulling you into a hug. “Talk to them.”

“See you next year?” You ask.

“I think we’re the only divorced couple that still celebrates their anniversary!” Chris laughs as he walks to his car.

“We’ll we always were weird!” You laugh.

“You’re my best friend, Y/N/N, always have been, always will be. I want to see you happy.” Chris says.

“Same.” You say. Chris nods his head, then he gets in and drives away. You sigh and then you walk back inside, Steve and Bucky were still sitting at the dinner table.

“Is the bastard gone?” Bucky sneers.

“What’s up with the two of you today? Why were you so mean to Chris?” You ask.

“Trust me that was us being nice.” Steve grinds out.

“What? He was nothing but nice!” You yell.

“Nice.” Bucky chuckles darkly.

“Why are you guys acting so-?” You start.

“How bad was it? Is it even okay to ask that?” Bucky asks suddenly.

“How bad was wha-?” You start to ask.

“I mean if a judge granted a divorce the abuse must have been…..” Steve trails off. “Are you okay, Doll? Why would you let him come here? After the things he did to you?”

“Abuse? The things he did to me?” You ask, confused by what they were saying.

“HE CUT OFF YOUR TOE!” Bucky snarls. “He’s lucky he left this place alive!”

“Whoa, he cut my toe off because I asked him to! We were testing my abilities! He helped me test them!” You say. “And it was a no-fault divorce! We were 18 and confused! Everyone kept telling us that we would be an amazing couple a-and that we should get married and have babies! About six months in we realized that we were best friends- ONLY best friends! Like we had been since we were kids! He never abused me! He helped me understand a part of me that I had been ashamed of! HE helped me become who I am today! So how dare you treat him like that!” You yell. Both men sit there staring at you for a minute, finally Bucky quietly asks:

“What’s a no-fault divorce?”

“It’s means neither spouse is required to prove the other is at fault.” You say.

“Oh.” Steve murmurs, then he and Bucky just stare at each other and then at you. Both of them are shocked, so you just turn around and leave the room.

Both Steve and Bucky avoid you for the next week. Maybe Chris was wrong, maybe they didn’t like you like that. But then one day you hear a knock on your door, when you open it, you find Steve and Bucky standing there.

“You’ve been avoiding me.” You say as you cross your arms and lean in the door frame.

“We’re sorry.” Steve murmurs.

“Why?” You ask. Neither of them answer. “I’m going to ask again, this time I would appreciate an answer. Why?”

“We-love-you.” Bucky murmurs and you feel your eyes go wide.

“But we know that you’d never go for something like that. We’re okay with just-.” Steve starts.

“Why would you assume that?” You whisper. “I love you both.”

“You….You love us?” Bucky questions, and instead of answering you just pull him in for a kiss. When the two of you break apart you pull Steve’s face to yours and you kiss him.

“You’re both Idiots.” You murmur and you giggle when they nod in agreement.

“You do not have access to enter the building. Is there anything I can assist you with Ma’am” A voice from a speaker says.

“I need to speak with Captain America or Sergeant Barnes.” You say.

“May I ask who it is that wishes to speak with them?” The voice says.

“An old Friend.” You say simply. The voice doesn’t respond and after several minutes you start to lose hope, but then the door opens and you see both Steve and Bucky.

“How can we help-OH!” Steve says as he looks into your eyes.

“I thought I lost the two of you!” You sob and Bucky pulls you in to the tower.

“How many times have you come back alone?” Bucky asks quietly.

“This is the third time.” You sob. “I died young in the other two.”

“What’s your name?” Steve asks.

“Y/F/N Y/L/N.”

“I like it.” Bucky chuckles

“I’m a mutant too.” You murmur.

“That’s different.” Bucky murmurs.

“It’s been different since the 40’s.” You say and they both nod. “What happened to your arm?”

“It was damaged during the crash. The doctors had to amputate. SHEILD made me this.” Bucky says as he shows you his metal arm. “What’s your mutation?”

“Faster, Stronger, pretty much invulnerable.” You answer.

“So what the serum did two the two of us?” Steve asks and you nod. After a moment of silence you start to cry a bit.

“I’ve missed the two of you so much!” You sob. “I thought I was alone.” Then Bucky pulls you into a steering kiss, after you break apart Steve does the same.

“The two of you been defrosted for all of what 3 weeks. How are you already making out with someone in the lobby?” Tony Stark asks as he exits the elevator, followed by the rest of the Avengers.

“This is Y/N.” Steve says.

“That explains nothing.” Natasha says.

“I’m a mutant.” You add.

“That’s nice. But why are you making out with the two super soldiers in the lobby?” Clint asks. The three of you smirk and then Bucky and Steve lead you out of the lobby and up to their room.

“Why do you think everything has been so messed up?” Bucky asks as you plop on the bed.

“The curse. We’re the earth’s guardians. We are meant to shape and save humanity. It used to mean as royalty or as warriors, but the world has been changing, people are becoming more powerful, everyday someone who can’t be matched appears.  Aliens tried to invade. So what if we need to be more powerful to protect the world.” You say.

“That makes sense.” Steve murmurs.

“So we train, we prepare for what’s to come.” Bucky says and you and Steve nod.

***

“So how did you meet our two resident old timers?” Tony asks you the next morning and you just smirk.

“Doll, let’s go train.” Bucky says as he walks into the kitchen.

“I haven’t been called Doll since the forties!” You laugh as you hop off of the stool you were sitting on.

“Are you immortal?” Tony whispers.

“It’s complicated.” You say over your shoulder, as you follow Bucky out of the room.

“WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?” You hear Tony yell from the hallway.

“Should we tell them?” You ask after the three of you finish training.

“Oh I don’t know. It’s kind of fun keeping them guessing.” Steve says.

“You know. I think the one consistency we’ve had in all of our lives together is that you’re a major ass-.” You start.

“PUNK!” Bucky laughs, cutting you off.

“Sure let’s go with Punk.” You say, rolling your eyes. All of you chuckling.

“Jeez, I thought the two of you loved me!” Steve sighs dramatically.

“We do.” You say, hopping onto his back, so he can give you a piggyback ride.

“Just change the fact that you’re a punk!” Bucky says.

“I’m so glad I found you both.” You murmur.

“We’ve always found each other.” Bucky says.

“And we always will.” Steve adds.

She was a witch- he knew that much from the wand she used. This dream woman had been with the Avengers from the beginning. She was strong, courageous, and powerful. She had been fun and playful as well, she had pulled jokes on him and Tony to. Those dreams were always funny.

Some of the dreams were different from the funny and sweet ones. These dreams involved the woman, Tony and himself falling into bed together, sometimes there were giggles and other times there were moans of pleasure. He always needed a cold shower after waking up from those dreams.

He became almost obsessed with these dreams, no longer did he fear sleep like he once had, every night he got a new piece of information about her, like last night, he had learned her name.

“ACCIO screwdriver!” She had laughed, then the screwdriver had disappeared from Tony’s hand and landed in hers.

“Y/N! Give it back!” Tony had huffed as you and Steve giggled.

“Y/N!” Steve screamed as he jolted awake. His girlfriend, how could he forget! Now that he remembered your name, he remembered everything about you. How you, Tony and him had fallen in love after the Battle in New York. You had shown them a hidden world filled with magic and secrets. You must have altered everyone’s memories somehow. But why?

“What was that, Babe?” Tony murmurs as he rolls over to look at Steve.

“Nothing, Darling, go back to sleep. It was just a nightmare.” Steve whispers as he pulls Tony closer to him. Where you-where you dead? Is that why no one remembered you? Was it a last mercy you had bequeathed on the team? Steve becomes even more obsessed with remembering.

It takes a month for him to remember all of it. You had told him about the how your second-cousin had fought the Dark Lord years ago, but he was coming back, stronger than before. You had been afraid, but he never thought you would do something so drastic. The memory of you erasing yourself from his memory was foggy, you had kissed him and Tony and then you had taken out you wand. He remembers that you had been crying and bloody. There had been an attack, but he couldn’t remember from what. He had been trying to remember as he walked into the common room, there he found the rest of the team sitting with each other.

“Steve. We need to talk.” Clint says.

“What is this?” Steve asks.

“An intervention- kind of.” Bruce answers, and Steve just gives them all a confused look.

“You’ve been sleeping so much a-and obsessing over something. But you won’t tell us what. Are you having nightmares again?” Tony asks quietly.

“No it’s not like that! You all just don’t remember!” Steve says.

“Remember what?” Tony asks.

“Y/N! Our girlfriend!” Steve says frantically.

“Our girlfriend?” Tony murmurs and Steve nods.

“She was a founding member of the Avengers! Fury recruited her! She’s a witch, a-and we fell in love with her.” Steve says.

“Steve, I think we would know if there was another member of this team.” Nat says and Steve just kind of deflates.

But something amazing happened that night, they all dreamed of you and the next morning they began to search for you. It was hard and basically nothing came of it after several months of no results the team had resigned themselves to never knowing what became of you. But Tony and Steve never stopped looking for their love.

***

(Y/N’s POV)

You had helped defeat Voldemort-hopefully the third times the charm- and now you were back in your home county and currently standing outside of your home- Stark Tower.

“Hey, guy, I know it’s been awhile. Oh you don’t remember me? I can explain that, you see I-I’m a witch and I erased myself from your minds! Oh why did I do that? To protect you.” You ramble to yourself. “I’m crazy, this is crazy!” You say and then you take a deep breath and let yourself into the Tower. You take the elevator up to the common floor. The doors open and you step out, as you do you hear a glass shatter.

“Y/N?” Steve murmurs.

“You know who I am?” You ask.

“Yeah.” Is all Steve says, then he runs to you and pulls you into a hug, lifting you off the floor. You both start to sob. “I missed you so much!”

“The others-Tony- Do they remember me?” You ask.

“They didn’t at first, but I-I got them to remember you.” Steve murmurs after he kisses your head. “What happened the day you left? I can’t remember, none of us can.”

“Voldemort’s followers found me- found us- they attacked, I-I was able to fight them off, but I realized I needed to leave until it was safe again. But I knew you wouldn’t let me or at least let me go on my own so-.” You explain.

“You made us forget you.” Tony whispers from the doorframe across the room.

“Tony!” You sob, as he walks quickly across the room, he puts his arms around both you and Steve.

“You left!” Tony accesses.

“I’m sorry.”

“You made us forget you!” Tony says.

“I’m sorry!”

“And it didn’t even work!” Tony huffs.

“I’m glad.” You murmur. “I love you both so much! It broke my heart to leave the two of you, a-and the rest of the team! But I was needed a-and it wasn’t safe for you all. Magic is a dangerous thing!”

“Everything is okay now though right?” Steve asks.

“Yes, we defeated Voldemort. Hopefully he stays gone this time.” You sigh, both of your boyfriends nod.

“You look tired, let’s go to bed.” Steve says, as he scoops you up into his arms.

“I haven’t slept a full night since I left.” You confess.

“You’ll tell us everything once you wake up.” Tony demands and you nod. “And restore our memories.” You nod again.

“I love you both so much.” You murmur as Steve puts you on the bed.

“We love you too.” Steve whispers, as he lays down next to you.

“Yeah, there’s no getting rid of us. Even if you erase our memory we’ll remember you and find you.” Tony teasingly threatens, as he lays on the other side of you. You pull Tony in for a quick kiss before doing the same to Steve.

“I missed you both, I regretted what I did almost immediately after I did it.” You slur in exhaustion.

“Shhh, you can tell us when you wake up.” Tony murmurs.

“Mmmm, I dreamed of you when I was away.” You whisper.

“We dreamed of you too, Doll.” Steve hums as you drift off.

“What about Howard?” Peter asks.

“No way in hell.” Tony snarls. “What about Henry?”

“I’m pretty sure the first guy I went steady with was named Henry.” You say.

“Ok, definitely not Henry then. What about-.”

“His name is going to be Edward Anthony Stark and we’re going to call him Teddy.” You say glaring at everyone. “I’m giving birth to him. I choose the name.” You were days away from your due and had been becoming increasingly moody with each passing day. You looked around the room and everyone nodded. Tony even blushed a little at the idea of kind of naming your child after him.

“When did you decide on that name, my love?” Tony asks.

“Last night. Are you okay with it? I like how it sounds and I thought Teddy was a cute nick name.” you murmur.

“I love it.” Tony says as he leans in to kiss you.

******

You were exhausted and in pain, but you could already feel your body start to heal itself. It had taken 18 hours to finally get little Teddy out. You had decided to give birth at the compound because hospitals beds and most doctors still freaked you out, so you had chosen to use a midwife. You look over and look at Tony holding your son and a warm feeling spreads through your body. Then Teddy starts to whimper and cry out.

“Shh, Teddy, I’ve got you.” Tony whispered while rocking the baby a little. “I know you want your Momma but she had a really long day and I think we should let her sleep a little longer.”

“I’m awake.” You say as Tony passes Teddy to you. “He’s probably hungry.”

“Helen thinks that he’s going to be able to heal like you.” Tony says as you start to feed Teddy.

“How do you feel about that?” you ask

“I kind of like it. It’ll probably help with my anxiety knowing our baby can’t get hurt. I also like the idea of the two of you living forever.”

“No one lives forever.” You whisper

“Well there’s a first time for everything.”

“Then Teddy will be that first. Let’s stop talking about him living forever, he’s not even a day old yet.” You say as you look down at your son. “He’s perfect.”

“He is, you did so good today, I’m so proud of you, my love.” Tony says as he leans down to kiss your forehead.

“Mmm” you moan “Sorry about the sheets, and the mattress, my claws just kind of came out. I didn’t cut you did I?” you ask starting to panic.

“Just a small scratch.” Tony says showing you his hand.

“I’m so sorry, Tony! I-I didn’t mean-“

“I know, its fine, there’s nothing to forgive.” Tony says as he lays down next to you. The two of you lay in comfortable silence as Teddy feeds. When he’s done, you burp him and then he drifts off into a peaceful sleep.

*********

The last month had been amazing. Everyone in your little gang absolutely adored Teddy and why shouldn’t they, he’s an incredible baby. You were all wary of what was coming tomorrow, Team Cap was coming “home”. All of you were currently lounging in the living room. Tony was holding Teddy.

“I think we shouldn’t meet them outside.” You say quietly.

“What do you mean?” Rhodey asks.

“We should make them come to us, maybe in a conference room or by the pool. Put them a bit off balance. They kind of deserve it, don’t you think? After what they did to Tony.”

“I forgave Bucky a long time ago. He wasn’t in control when he was the soldier and everything he did after was to save himself and Steve. Can’t really blame him for that. Also Cap apologized, kinda.” Tony mumbles.

“He said he was sorry that you didn’t understand why he did what he did. That’s crap, not an apology.” Pepper says.

“They need to realize their actions have consequences. They need to see that what they did will have lasting effects. Cap and the others need to realize that it’s not going to go back to sunshine and rainbows. But I think your right about Bucky. He was a prisoner, like me. The only difference was I had you there to help me from the start and he had no one.” You say and everyone nods there head. So you come up with a plan. You are going to meet them outside with Peter and lead them into a conference room where everyone else will be waiting. You all agreed on presenting as a united front. Tony will not be left to fend for himself. When Rhodey says that Tony rolls his eyes and says he’s not as delicate as he looks. After a bit more planning you have everything ready.

“What about Teddy?” you ask quietly.

“I think that we should keep him from them, at first anyway.” Tony says.

“If you guys need a babysitter I can call my girlfriend to see if she can watch Teddy.” Peter says as Tony gets up to hand Teddy to Rhodey, who is in his wheelchair.
