The Only Chance - Tony Stark

Chapter Three

Tony was getting better day after day, and with him healthier the rest of the heroes got together to explain to him who Paige was and where she came from. But when they were alone, the real conversation started.

"Can you repeat what the voice said?" He asked Paige. For some reason she looked so familiar to him.

"It said, 'one more chance in the 14 million.'" She responded. "I know you understood, I know what happened in space."

"So, you know how I got my ass kicked. No one knows what really happened there besides me and you, and I would like to keep it that way." He told her, making Paige nod her head in agreement. "So, you said all of us had movies, tell me, what was your favorite?" He asked, changing the topic of the conversation.

"Captain America 2." She answered, making Tony roll his eyes. "But Iron Man one is my second favorite." She told him, punching lightly his arm. "It tells how you got kidnaped and how you escaped. It was the first movie released from the franchise of the MCU universe." She explained to him.

"So, apparently I'm really important then? How many movies do I have?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

"They call the actor who portraited you the godfather of Marvel. You have three movies." She said to him. "The second one was about Ivo Vanko, and the third one was about the Mandarin." He nodded in response.

"Tell me Paige, how have you been?" He asked.

She was in this universe for two weeks now, she had been spending most of her time in the room the designated to her, she didn't like to get out of it much, she felt dislocated, she missed home.

"I'm fine." She lied.

"I know that that's a lie, but I'm not going to pressure you." He stopped what he was doing to look her in the eye and smiled. He had been tinkering his suit all the time they were there.

"How are you, Tony?" She asked.

"Healthier for sure, mentally exhausted. I think I'm going to get a house outside the city, somewhere isolated, relax for a bit." He said.

"And to plan your wedding I bet." She made a guest.

"Plan my wedding to who?" Paige now had his full attention.

"To Pepper, of course." She said like it was the most obvious thing in the world, and he started laughing.

"Pepper and I are not a thing." He responded. "We were a thing in the films?" He asked, and she nodded her head. "She's like a sister, my best friend, but just that." He explained.

"Well, if you guys are not a thing, you are thinking of living isolated all by yourself?" She questioned him.

"I might get a dog, or a llama." Before they could continue their conversation, the whole group entered the room. "Look who's here Paigie, your idol." He said mocking her, pointing to Steve, making Paige roll her eyes.

"Don't mind him, he's crazy." She said dismissing Steve's questioning looks.

"Okay, it's been two weeks since you appeared here, and now that you settle down and Tony isn't almost dying, I think it's time for the question all of us are really curious about." Steve started. "Do you know what's going to happen? Can we get those who were blipped back?" He asked.

"If we're in the right timing, which I think we are, I know what's going to happen, and you will get everyone back." She said, her face falling a little, the girl looked around the room, stopping for a second on Tony and Natasha's faces. Noticing this, the professional assassin questioned her.

"When you got here, you told us that you were watching a movie, and that the movie was from a sequence, that you cried a lot during it. Was the movie about what's going to happen next?" Paige just nodded her head. "Some of us don't make to the end of the movie, do we?" She asked, making the girl turn her head to the side, to avoid the stares.

"I think you found your purpose here, Lady Paige." Thor said quietly. Paige could see the suffering in his eyes, those who he lost weren't blipped, they were murdered, no way back.

"Thor." She called him, making he turn his head to her. "Just so you know, your brother was one of my favorite character, I'm really sorry for you loss." She said to him. "He was really funny, and he wasn't bad, just a little crazy, but crazy people are always the best. He will be revenged." She continued. "All of those who Thanos killed will."
