Double Agent (Fem Reader X Tony Stark)

Chapter 49 - Stones

After getting Natalia set up with Pepper and receiving a million kisses from Natalia, I sped up to the compound to see Steve was outside.

"Why the long face?" I smirk.

"Let me guess...He turned into a baby." Tony yells over to him from the passenger seat.

"Among other things, yeah. What are you doing here?"

Tony and I get out and walk to the trunk. "That's the EPR Paradox. Instead of pushing Lang through time, you might've wound up pushing time through Lang. It's tricky. Dangerous. Somebody should've cautioned you against it." Tony turns to Steve.

"You did."

"Oh, did I? Thank God I'm here. Regardless, I fixed it." Tony holds up his right hand, with a device on it. "A fully functioning Time-Space GPS. I just want peace." He then makes peace sign with his fingers. "Turns out, resentment is corrosive, and I hate it."

"Me too." Steve smiles.

"We got a shot at getting these stones, but I gotta tell you my priorities: Bring back what we lost? I hope, yes. Keep what I got? I have to, at all costs. And... maybe not die trying will be nice." Tony nods.

"Sounds like a deal." Steve reaches out his hand to shake in the deal, in which Tony replies in the same way. Instead of shaking his hand I hug him.

Tony reaches back into the trunk to pull something else out...Steve's shield. He turns to give it to Steve, who hesitates. "Tony..."

"Why? He made it for you. Plus, honestly I have to get it out of the garage before Natalia takes it sledding." Tony chuckles.

Steve fits his arm into the shield. "Thank you, Tony."

"Will you keep that a little quiet? Didn't bring one for the whole team."

"We are getting the whole team, yeah?" I ask.

"We're working on that right now."

For the next few hours I walk around the Compound, smiling at all the memories I had here.

I find myself in the old locker room, smiling as I step over to my locker. I open it and rub my hand down my suit, "Oh I've missed you." I say as I see my Batons.

I sit back on the bench and put my head in my hands, I really wanted to forget this life....I wanted to start new with Tony and Natalia. I didn't want to fight anymore and I didn't want to be known as an assassin or an Avenger.

I just want to be Y/N Stark.

"You okay?"

I turn to see Clint leaning against the doorway, he had a full sleeve tattoo and a new hair cut. I hadn't seen him in five years...he disappeared and was causing violence. "Wow....look at you." I smile. "Get over here." He laughs as we embrace, resting his head in my neck as a tighten my grip around him. "I've missed you so much, Clint."

"I've missed you more...god you look gorgeous." He pulls back and looks at me.

"Not too bad for having a baby." I smile and spin around.

"I heard you had a girl. What's her name?"

"Natalia Howard Stark." I smile and pull out my phone, showing him a few photos.

"She's beautiful...I have to ask. Howard?"

"Tony's father. Howard can be a girls name...don't be a dick." I laugh as I punch his shoulder.

"You think this is gonna work?"

"I do....it has to." I smile and wrap my arm around him as we walk out.
