Pyro and the Hulk (book 2: B. Banner X OC)

12

Before I know it the desk in front of me is covered in boxes filled with paper. I groan loudly knowing that we would have to spend hours going through all of this. I place a box on by lap and begin to shuffle through it. 3 hours and 5 paper cuts later Tony finally points out a person he recognises some one. I smirk as I watch Thor throw yet another file over his shoulder with out a care in the world.

"Wait I know that guy. From back in the day. He operates off the African coast. Black market arms"  Steve gives him a disappointed look and Tony simply rolls his eyes before briefly explaining "There are conventions. All right? You meet people. I didn't sell him anything. he was talking about finding something new, a game-changer It was all very Ahab" Tony passes a few of the photos around for the others to see.

"What's this?"

"Ah, it's a tattoo, I don't think he had it."

"No. Those are tattoos, this is a brand." I look up at Thor's statement and hold my hand out for the picture. He passes it to me and I look at the brand only to gasp in shock. 

"It means thief, in a lot less nicer way. The Dialect is from Wakanda. I had to study it a few years ago when symbols popped up during missions." I explain at the end when Bruce gives me a questioning look. He turns his attention to the brand and quickly trances it onto the computer screen or analysis. After a moment he turns back to me with an impressed look when he sees I was right. 

Tony, Steve and I give each other a look when we realise what's happening. The two talk quietly together so the rest of us can't really hear. Bruce walks back over to us "I don't follow. What come out of Wakanda?" 

At his question Tony, Steve and I look at each other briefly before looking over to Cap's shield that rests on the floor, propped up by a table leg. "The strongest metal on earth" The three us said together in a not at all creepy fashion. Sarcasm.

"Before we go off and save the world again I suggest we have lunch first, none of us have really eaten today" The others agree and we all go off to have lunch on our own floors.

I make some sandwiches and have Tori call the kids in and Bruce explains what's happening. I kiss the kids on the forehead before pecking Bruce's lips gently. "You guys ready" They each nod and I can sense their nervousness so I give them each a boost of confidence. Tony joins us and we all finish eating. "kids you know what to do" They both nod and Lilly jumps into Tony's arms, he throws her in the air before catching her and taking her to the lap to get her suit on. Jace runs down the corridor to his room to get changed and Bruce helps me with the dishes before going to grab his bag spare clothes.

I take the rucksack from the hook near the fridge and put a bunch of protein bars as well as water bottle into it and a couple of bags of tortilla chips on top. Next I grab the freezer bag and place everyone's Tupperware containers into it. After each mission I would cook up another batch of food and freeze them for the next mission. They would then either go into the mini fridge or freezer on the jet for us to eat later if we had a particularly long day.

Everyone would also get a turn at picking what they wanted the meal to be, Jace got to pick last time and this time it was Clint's turn. He picked Chile with rice and tortilla chips on the side.

I leave the bags where they are for a moment before running to my room and getting changed into my suit in record time. Adding my guns and knives where they are supposed to be before going back to the kitchen to get the bags. As a last minute thing I grab a container of gummies for Jace and put them into one of the many storage spaces on my utility belt. 

Tony and Bruce had worked together to create a few things to aid Jace's powers for example he had light weight bangle like cuff on his wrists and ankles that could be filled with water. They each had a small opening that was controlled by his voice so he could spill some water from the cuffs and onto his clothes that he could then manipulate since it wasn't always easy to pull water from the air or ground. 

They had also create sugar gummies that were stored in small credit card shape and sized containers. Each gummy was filled with enough sugar and calories to boost his energy in a fight. Since he was still young he could only heighten his power endurance to a certain level until his body matured.

Grabbing the bags as well as my phone I head up to the jet and meet everyone else their since I was the last to show up. The door closes and I make sure the alter my centre of gravity slightly to stay up right as the jet powers up and begins to take flight. Once I'm steady enough I put the food where its supposed to be and take a seat next to Bruce who was working on his tablet. His kisses my forehead when I lean against his side making me smile.

The kids as usual were playing around with the others and were currently trying to climb up Thor and hang from his arms like a swing. I shake my head at them before closing my eyes and enjoying the moment. I feel Bruce move his arm to wrap around my waist and pull me closer on the bench so I was snuggled into his warm, all without interrupting his work.
