The Infinity Stone

1

Nat stood with Fury trying desperately to not lose their cool. But Aria Stark was making that rather difficult. " Leave it be." Nick snapped at her once more, catching her trying to remove an IV.

" It's itchy."

" I don't give a shit, you are dehydrated, and sickly looking. Keep it in," like a child, Aria slammed her arm across the other, pouting, and glared at the wall. " That's better." If only looks could kill. 

" I don't get why I'm still here. I'm fine. Great even! So let's get out of here, I could really go for a donut." Nat gave her a knowing look.
" You leave when I say you leave." The angry man scolded, growing tired from having to deal with a man child, and now his child. 

" Tough luck," Nat told, making her roll her eyes.
" Yeah no kidding. At least I'm not married to a physcopath." Aria had filled them in about her time in Asgard, and they were able to fill her in what happened after. Though she already knew.

" There you go, look at the bright side." Nat said patting her shoulder, a phone went off, something Aria had not heard in a while. Fury answered, looking even pisser when he hung up. 

" Let's go," he said to Nat, then turned and pointed a finger at Aria. " You. Stay." 

" I'm not a dog." She retorted back. 

" No, that'd be an insult to dogs." Fury quipped before exiting the hospital room, hidden within SHIELD quarters. 

The two left, unbeknownst that Aria had a part to play with the phone call. She pulled the IV out of her arm, and dressed herself. Sneaking out of high security buildings never were a problem for her, her training still moving her body to freedom. 

She opened the window, and recoiled realizing that it was hot and humid. Still with a plan in mind, she hopped out of the window, landing on a neighboring roof. " Idiot, why give me a window, you know I'll just exploit that privilege." Aria mumbled out, in her fake conversation. 

Nat was trying to conceal her laughter, after Fury realized there was no emergency downstairs, the pour worker nearly peed himself, when he asked what Fury was talking about. " That cunning little shit." Fury muttered, making his way back to the room Aria was in.

Nat picked up the piece of paper Aria had left. 

Bye! 

" I need eyes on Stark." Fury commanded a nearby Agent.
" Which one?" 

" Both." 

Aria managed to 'borrow' one of the many cars, and drive away from the dreadful building. Still craving donuts, she found a diertated cafe, with a giant donut sign. Though, something was inside the hole. She pulled up into the parking lot, parked, and killed the engine.

" You saved some for me right?" 

Tony nearly feel out of the giant donut, choking on the left overs in his mouth. While he was trying to breath again, Aria too made her way up to take a seat. Causing him to almost choke again. 

" How did you do that?!" He spat out, not sure if this all was a trick. 

" Magic." She said grinning, moving her fingers in a teasing matter. All the sudden she felt heavy, cold arms wrap around her form. Instead of wrapping hers around him, she held the donut box steady, so they wouldn't fall. 

Tony feel back into his place, grabbing another donut. " When'd you get back?" Aria wanted to burst out in tears and tell him everything, with Asgard, Loki, New Mexico... him. But she turned to him, and plastered on a smile. 

" Just recently, wanted a donut, and ran into you. Talk about killing two birds with one stone." 

" Wait, you were going to eat donuts, before seeing me? After not seeing me for a year." It was Aria's turn to choke up. A year? Already?
" Sorry dad, priorities," it grew strangely quiet, and Aria looked up to see if he was still breathing. He sat frozen, a donut half raised to his mouth, eyes wide. " What?"
