AGE IS JUST A NUMBER

A FAVOUR

HARLEY'S POV

So, basically Tony died stoping a giant powerful grape who came to the future to commit universal level of genocide using his stone collection. But he brought back the blipped people, so now I had my mother, my sister, a kinda-sorta adopted sister and a kinda-sorta adopted mom. I had two of all except a father, which I had none of. Oh, and I almost forgot, now that the population of the world had suddenly doubled, my mom wasn't able to get a job, I was a intern in the Stark Industries and was suddenly left with a whooping amount of money and property even though it was only a small fraction of da- I mean Tony's will.

My life in short was fucked up.

BZZT... BZZT... BZZT...

It was Pepper.

"Hey, Pepper."

"Hey, Lee. I need a small favour from you."

"Sure, what do you need."

"Do you remember Steve's friend, Barnes?"

I furrowed my brows and replied, "The one who killed Tony's parents?"

"Yeah, that one but it wasn't his fault. He was mind-controlled at that time. Anyway, there is some problem with his metal arm."

I was confused. "What does that have to do with me?"

"You need to make him a new arm."

"Wait, wasn't Wakanda's princess responsible for that?"

"Well, after the snap, Wakanda, like all countries needs attention. And as she is a princess, her duties is keeping her busy. So, Shuri asked me to send someone from Stark Industries to make him a temporary arm till the time she can visit New York. So, I hoped that perhaps you won't mind."

"Okay, so what kind of a arm do I have to make?"

"I'll give you his apartment's address, you can just go there and discuss it with him. Supplies you can use from your lab and if you need anything extra, you can just ask me."

"Okay, cool. By the way, how is Morgan doing? Does she like her new babysitter?"

"Well, she misses her old one and is upset that he doesn't stay with us anymore. Don't forget to come for dinner on Saturday. She'll kill you, otherwise."

"Come on, when have I ever forgotten the Saturday dinners?"

"You do remember we have had only 3 of those so far? Anyway, I got to go now, it's time for a board meeting. I'll text you Barnes address. Bye"

"Bye"

With that the call ended and soon I received the address.

I sat down and wondered about how a ex-assassin from the past would be like, and noted down some ideas about the arm I was going to make him.

That is until my sister barged into my room and forced me to watch another movie she had missed with her.
