Broken Realities

Curiosity

Two days later Zoe watched as the others were leaving for the mission. Zoe would be going to the city with Pepper to stay at the Tower. To Shield this would the Avengers stopping an black market arms dealers with the help of Fury. She was talking to Thor when Steve came up to them "Hey Thor do you mind if I steal Zoe for a moment?" he asked. Zoe's eyes widen and Thor smirked "Of course see you on the Jet" replied Thor to Steve. Then he turned to Zoe "I will see you when this mission is over stay safe Little Bolt" said Thor to Zoe with a small smile as he gave her a small hug before turning to walk out. Zoe return the hug. "I will try my best Thor but you stay safe as well okay Big Thunder" replied Zoe waving at Thor who nodded and walked away.

Steve watched the exchanged and wished he could talk to Zoe as easily as she did  Thor. Zoe walked up to him "So Rogers what can I help you with?" asked Zoe with serious tone to her voice. "I just wanted to thank you for making this mission possible and I am grateful that you is all" said Steve. Zoe nodded "Of course Steve I couldn't let Bucky suffer any longer knowing what I know I can't wait to meet him" replied Zoe. Steve smiled "Oh his going to like you for certain him and your mom were quite close friends back in the 40's" he replied. Zoe smiled "Bucky was always a ladies man right?" asked Zoe. Steve sighed and shook his head "Yes, but I think Bucky and Thea were more of best friends or brother and sister kinda of thing they both certainly liked messing around playing practical jokes on me and the other Howling Commandos" said Steve shaking his head.
"Oh I would love to hear all about those stories" said Zoe gleefully. "Definitely, maybe they can help bring some of Bucky's memories back" replied Steve. Zoe only nodded and was about respond when Tony came up in his full Iron Man suit with the helmet opened " Are you coming Capiscle?" asked Tony looking at the both. Steve rolled his eyes and nodded "Yes Tony I was just thanking Zoe here for making all this possible" said Steve. Tony nodded  "Well if you're done I would like a word with my sister so you can do your little strut and my sister can admire that spangles suit as you walk away" said Tony sarcastically. Steve just raised an eyebrow and coughed "Bye Zoe" and quickly walked away.

Zoe glared at Tony "Seriously brother you're lucky that you have a tin suit to protect you cause I really want to zap you right now" said Zoe creating a ball of lightning in her hand and it holding up. Tony's eyes widen and he held up both his hands in defense. "Hold on now little sis I was only teasing no need to get your panties all sparky" said Tony tensely. Zoe smiled as she looked at the spark ball in her hand "Okay I will zap this out but stop with the jokes about me and Steve nothing is ever going to happen between us and I don't need him to think that I like him" said Zoe snuffing out the ball and frowning. Tony walked closer to her "But you do Zoe and..." Tony began but saw sparks from Zoe's fingers. "Okay okay I will drop it" he said cautiously. "Good, now what can I help you with dear Bubba?" asked Zoe sweetly. Tony "Just stay safe if you need to go out call Rhodes or Happy to take you alright Zoe" said Tony firmly. Zoe rolled her eyes "Zoe please I don't know how long I will be gone I have to know that your safe at the tower" said Tony. Zoe sighed "Okay Tony I won't go out alone and it will be good to get know my future sister-in-law" replied Zoe without really thinking. Tony smirked "Your future what?" asked Tony. Zoe's eyes widen and she covered her mouth "Ummm nothing" she said in trembling tone. Tony got a huge smug look on his face "Me and Pepper huh?" he questioned. Zoe just shook her head "Goodbye Tony safe on the mission" Zoe yelled in response. Tony waved " I will give my future wife a kiss for me and I will watch your future husband precious backside" said Tony and before Zoe could do anything he shut the helmet and flew off. He is such an ass sometimes thought Zoe as she watched her brother and the Quinjet fly off.

Three days later Zoe was sitting in main sitting room of the tower watching TV when JARVIS called out "Miss. Stark there is an Alexander Pierce and a Agent Sharon Carter and Agent Brock Rumlow here to see the Avengers" said JARVIS in a Britain accent. Zoe's stood up quickly "Please inform Rhodes, Happy, and Miss Potts please and let them in please JARVIS" replied Zoe uneasily. "Of course Miss. Stark and I am also informing Mr. Stark as well" replied the AI. "Thank-you JARVIS and please call me Zoe from now on" said Zoe. "Of Course if that is what you wish Miss" responded JARVIS.
