Chapter (40) Fourty ~ ...the girl lending a helping hand

~Olivia~

I cringed as a loud honking sounded outside of my apartment, and I quickly rushed to the window to see what was going on. Looking down, I saw my idiot nephew leaning on his black sports car, looking me dead in the eyes as he honked again. I rolled my eyes as I went to grab my keys and brown leather jacket, throwing on my shoes before stepping out, locking my door behind me, and heading downstairs.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You keep shit like that up and they'll kick me out!" I crossed my arms over my chest.

"They wouldn't dare kick a Stark out of the building. Besides, I know for a fact you own the building." Tony snarked, moving to get back into his car. "Now get in. We're going on a little field trip."

"And where would this field trip be to?"

"The compound. I've got a lot to tell you."

~~

"Your kidding? You're not kidding. Tell me if your kidding."

"Would I lie to you about this?" Tony asked, giving me a deadpan look as he drove us through the streets of New York.

"How would this even-" I was cut off as Tony asked Friday to pull up his schematic diagram. "Oh, that's how. But what- oh, no you've figured that. And you're sure it would even work?"

"Pretty sure." My nephew nodded his head.

The two of us didn't say much more the rest of the drive as I continued to read the prints, asking some questions here and there. It didn't take much longer to get to the compound, where Tony sped around until we were met with a confused Steve, standing at one of the entrances. I rolled my eyes as the man stopped just in front of Rogers before slowly backing up, rolling his window down.

"Why the long face? Let me guess, he turned into a baby."

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

"It's the EPR Paradox." Tony groaned as the two of us got out of the car. "Instead of pushing Lang through time, you might've wound up pushing time through Lang. It's tricky, dangerous. Somebody could have cautioned you against it."

"You did." Steve nodded toward Tony as I slowly walked up to the two.

"Oh, did I?" He faked surprise. "Well, thank God I'm here. And with help, no less. Regardless, I fixed it." Tony held up his hand, revealing a watch. "A fully functioning time-space GPS. I just want peace. Turns out resentment is corrosive, and I hate it."

"Me too." Steve agreed.

"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 found, I have to, at all costs. And maybe not die trying. Would be nice."

"Sounds like a deal." The blond held his hand out, and I smiled as the two shook on it.

I stayed behind as Tony led Steve to the trunk of the car, opening it up to reveal Steve's favorite toy underneath Howie's toys.

"Tony, I don't know."

"Why? You got the seal of approval from the woman who made it. Plus, honestly, I have to get it out of the garage before Howie takes it sledding."

"Psh, like we haven't already done that," I smirked, causing both men to glance at me.

"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?"

"We're working on that right now. Oliv, we'll actually need your help grabbing the big guy."
