Tony Stark.........3

"You're sure you can find him?" Marley asks as Carol prepares  to leave the compound.

"Yes, my technology is more advanced, I should be able to pinpoint his location,"

"And you're sure you'll be ok?"

"Not to brag but I can breathe in space," Carol says making Marley roll her eyes.

"Yeah yeah, just bring us back an alive Iron Man please," Marley says as she lightly shoves Carol. The two girls chuckle as the team approaches.

"Sure," Carol says as she walks backwards getting ready to leave. Nat walks up to Marley's side as Steve give Carol another run down of what she's looking for. "I got it, I got it ya old man, geez," Carol says before saluting the team and blasting off.

"Let's hope she can bring him back, " Marley says as the small group walks back into the compound.

"She will," Nat says being the voice of hope. "And then we'll have one person back, and that's a start,"

"Oh yeah that's such a big head start," Rhodey says in his usual smart ass tone.

"We should do something tonight, " Marley says looking for  person to person. "I've been out if it for so long I havent really spent time with any of you," The team agrees and decides of a movie night immediately splitting up to gather supplies.

Marley walks through the halls towards Thor and Rockets room. Gently she knocks on Thors door.

"Hey," She says as she slowly opens the door only to be faced with Thor sitting on his bed with a beer sulking like he's been doing. "We're having a movie night tonight, thought you might want to join, get your mind off of things," She says not pushing Thor to come. He slightly nods his head acknowledging the fact that he heard what Marley said. She nods her head in return before sliding out of his room and closing the door.

As soon as she turns around she's faced with Rocket.

"You're invited too, knife stealer," She says with a small smirk. " Movie night, main room," She says before walking away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What are we watching?" Marley asks walking in to the main room.

"We haven't really decided yet," Nat speaks up from the couch. "You have a preference?"

"No I'm fine with anything," Marley replies as she sits down next to Nat. The duo starts a conversation as they wait for the rest of the group.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been days since Carol left. Marley fell back into a slight slump, she ate less slept less. There were very few people who could get her out of slumps like this, two were gone, and the third was about to break down her door.

"Marley, I swear if you don't open this door right now," Nat scolded from out side her room, Marley had slowly removed all evidence of Sam to the closet, wanting to stuff her feeling into a deep deep hole.

"I don't want to talk Nat,"

"I will not hesitate to break this door down right now," Marley sighs but doesn't move. So like she said Nat broke the door, kickng it down in one motion. "Whoa, it's so plain in here," Nat says as she walks into the room stepping over the freashly broken door.

"Yeah, I may have put a couple of things in the closet, " Marley mumbles from her spot on her bed.

"A couple of things? Mar you put everything in the closet. It looks like one of the guest rooms. Mar what happened to you?"

"I'm sorry," She said from her spot. "I didn't know there was anything wrong with me,"

"Obviously something is, Mar there used to be pictures everywhere in here, memories in every corner or the room. Now there's nothing what happened?"

"I just miss him!" Marley shouts sitting up and facing Nat. "Ok Nat us that what you want to hear that I feel useless without him? That I can't even walk into my own room because everywhere I look it's him?" Footsteps are heard coming from down the hallway. Steve turns the corner stopping at the kicked down door.

"Is everything alright here?" He asks as he looks up, immediately he sees the tears running down Marley's face and the shocked look on Nat's. It was that moment he knew he asked a stupid question. "I take that statement back, what incredibly blunt thing did Nat say because she want's to help you but in reality doesn't know how?" Steve says standing up the door and leaning it against the wall, Nat scoffs at Steve's statement but doesn't say anything.

"She uh... she asked what happened to me," Marley says as she wipes away the tears running down her cheeks.

"Ooh, that's... that's not good," Steve says as he moves to sit next to Marley on the bed.

"Oh shut it Mr.40s, like you know any better then I do," Nat says moving to Marley's other side.

"I know enough not to ask her what wrong with her, just like I know not to pusher her to talk about things she's not ready to talk about. Been there done that," Marley chuckles a little.

"You two are like an old married couple,"

"Yeah well at least we're able to get married," Natasha mumbles under her breath.

"Natasha Romanoff!" Steve exclaims his enhanced hearing picking up on her statement. The room started to shake before Nat could reply, the trio shares a look bafore standing up and sprinting towards the door. The trio meets the rest of the group as they run out side, Marley, Nat, Steve, Rhodey, Rocket, and Thor running out into the feild with Pepper staying closer to the compound. Thats when they see it, glowing in the form of a figure carrying what looked like a ship.

"Oh my god..." Marley says as she watches Carol lower the ship to the ground. "She did it, she brought him back," The ship is finally places on the ground and the ramp opens, out walks a blue robot girl helping Tony. Steve immediately jogs forward to help Tony while Rocket approaches the Blue girl. Once Pepper realizes it was Tony who was on the ship she dashes forward engulfing him into a hug.

Marley waits back tears in her eyes watching Pepper and Tony, Tony was back. They were one small step closer to getting Sam back, to getting everybody back. Eventually Pepper let go of Tony and helped Steve take him inside. Marley decided that her greetings would be saved for the next day and walked into the building her by herself. She walked alone to her room before looking at the damaged door and continuing to walk. She walks to Sam's room and takes a deep breath before opening the door. When she does all she feels is Sam, all she sees is Sam, she feels safe. For the first time in the past couple of days being this close to memories of Sam weren't hurtful, they were hopeful.

Tony Stark was back at the compound, he was back home, things were looking up.
