Legends Never Die

Chapter Eight

The silence that surrounded them went tense as Jarvis came unhinged. 

"What do you mean we are picking up Barnes and Wilson?"

 His words dangerously low, carrying the weight of a double edged sword. 

Fury swallows nervously, Starks AI was protective before, but this was a whole new level of crazy. 

"Since Stark is alive, we are trying to get everyone back together..." he trails off as the Time stone, who rivals in this department compared to Jarvis-if that were possible, gets in Fury's face.

 "She will stay here, and you will go and get them. She will in no way accompany you and you are not telling them who she is. That is her right to do so. Is. That. Clear?"

 Fury nodded slowly, trying to figure out why it has Strange's voice.

 "Crystal" he said tersely. 

"How long before we get them?" Tony asked quietly, leaning against the hull of the jet.

 "20 minutes; half hour. There down south, much closer than New York". 

Tony nodded once and left to sit in the cockpit with the stones disappearing. 

"You still haven't told me how you're alive Tony, I at least need that".

 Tony doesn't turn to look at Fury, " All they said was it wasn't my time to go, and how Quincy was the only person strong enough to hold all of me". 

She finished speaking, turned to show Fury the reactor.

 "Only her heart wasn't strong enough". 

She said with a slight laugh, covering it back up with gauze.

 "Which I call complete bullshit on, she's the most caring person I've ever met, even more so than Ms Potts". 

Jarvis watched the display through Tony's watch. 

Miss's blood pressure was going up, and she was only running on coffee again-she needs to calm down. 

"Miss? You should check on the mainframe off section B, there seems to be a glitch in the landing gears". 

Jarvis effectively breaking the conversation to reduce any more stress.

 "Really Fury? You would all just fall apart without me, wouldn't you?" 

Tony said sarcastically, knowing that if such a problem did exist, the onboard computer would catch it.

Sending a quiet 'Thank You' to Jarvis, she walked over to the computer panel to find said 'problem'. 

The jet landed, and she could feel the warmth of the Time stone illusion brushing up against her skin. 

She never did get an answer if the Stone was just acting like Strange so much... or if it was Strange. 

She didn't have time to ask, however, because two sets of footsteps walked into the jet.

 Sam and Bucky were really surprised to see Fury show up, especially with his cryptic message that everything's changed. 

San and Bucky walked into the jet, and saw a young woman with waist long brown hair messing with one of the computer panels in the jet. 

Before they can say anything, a voice interrupts them.

 "Miss, your company is behind you, I suggest you tend to them". 

Tony discreetly took off the glaze covering her reactor.
