Broken Realities

Meanwhile

Tony ran out as soon as he saw the Quinjet come close to the compound. The landing dock opened he saw only three people walking down it three others were missing. With a scowl on his face he marched up towards the three. "Oh here we go, good luck Rogers" whispered Nat tensely. Steve just sighed but didn't reply. Tony walked up to Steve "Where is she Rogers, Where in the HELL IS MY SISTER?" asked Tony yelling. Steve looked down and was about to answer when Nat "Tony the was an attack but we will explain everything but let's do so inside were things are more secure and not out in the open" said Nat put her hand on Tony's arm trying calm him down. Tony jerk his arm way and stormed back to the compound obviously upset about wondering about Zoe. "He will understand once you explain everything" said Clint patting Steve on the back. Steve turned and looked at him "Would you being understanding if Zoe was your sister" asked Steve. Clint frowned "Nope I would have shot you as soon as you got off the Quintjet" replied Clint waking towards the compound, Steve groaned and slowly followed.

Tony sat in silence as it was explain what happen with attack and Zoe. "You should have seen her Tony she went all Amazon warrior and was second nature to her" said Clint said in aww. Tony glared at Clint which made Clint shut up. Tony stood up walked straight up to Steve "This is all your fault, you said that you would protect her and look where that got us she is hurt and in the hands of people who caused me to lose her the first place and want her dead" snapped Tony as he pointed a finger at Steve's chest. Steve went to respond but Tony cut him off "Rogers I swear if I lose my sister again I will make sure you will be having conversation with OUR father and you can explain to him how his daughter is dead and I bet he would just love to hear how you his friend has been fondueing his little girl" yelled Tony. Clint let out a small chuckled which he turned into a cough when he got glares from the rest of the group. Steve just sighed and looked straight back at Tony "I know Stark I feel guilty as hell not being able to stop the attack and to be not allowed to be by her side and protect her is killing me Stark, instead my best friend who I was told was her soulmate is by her side" replied Steve with frustrated tone.

Stark raised an eyebrow and then frowned "My sister soulmate is the Tinman instead of the Capiscle interesting..." laughed Tony. Steve got right in Tony's face the two men just stood there not saying a word to each other but the tension was high. Clint cleared his throat and Nat walked over and pushed her way through the two men. "Okay if you are done comparing sizes, we and to be ready when Shield comes and starts asking questions especially if the snake arrives" said Nat with just a hint of disgust. Both men look at her in confusion and Nat just rolled her eyes "Carter will most likely making an appearance since Zoe took out dear old daddy" responded Nat. Steve just groaned and shook his head. Tony called out to Jarvis "JARVIS please keep the compound on high alert and please inform me if Agent Sharon Carter or Agent Brock Rumlow come in any where near the compound. Nat moved towards the door "Well I am going take a long hot shower and I suggest Rogers you do the same" said Nat walking out the door.

Tony sighed and looked over at Steve who was staring at his phone. Tony walked over to see a picture of Steve smiling at the camera but Zoe looking at Steve with huge grin on her face obviously infatuated with him. "You know Rogers by the look on Zoe's face she is very obviously in love with you" said Tony quietly. Steve looked up at his friend  "Thanks Stark" Steve replied as he stood up and walked to the door he stopped and turned to Tony. "I know this whole situation isn't ideal but your sister is strong and has the heart to endure whatever life has to throw at her look what she already lived through and is such a strong and loving woman and I am a lucky man to have her love me" said Steve. Tony nodded "Just treat her right Rogers that's all I ask and we won't have any problems" replied Tony. Steve smiled and nodded and walked out the door.

A few hours later  Tony was sitting in his lab making adjustments to his suit when JARVIS announce "Sir I have just been informed that some Shield agents are on their way and Agent Carter and Agent Rumlow are among them and so is Secretary Pearce" said JARVIS. "Thanks for the warning call the team and have them all suited up and meet in the conference room" replied Tony. "Of course Sir right away" replied the AI.
