"Who votes to throw Stark off of this helicarrier?"
"It's a stabilizing agent."
Then another voice popped into the conversation. One that made Anne shiver in anger. It was so recognizable. So irritable. It was the type of voice that made anyone want to punch the person even if you hadn't seen their face yet. Anne had to hold herself back from gagging at this point. The name was far to unbearable for her to say. Tony Stark. The billionaire and inventor. The way he buttoned his suits or thinks he is better than everyone. Ugh.
When the Stark entered the platform, it was seen that he was walking with Phil Coulson. The two talked to each other as if they had been friends for years. "I'm saying: take the weekend, I'll fly you to Portland. Keep love alive." Tony looked like he was having the time of his life while Phil looked like he was desperate to get away from the conversation.
Then Tony turned to the odd group. One hand was in his pocket while the other was out, motioning to things as he pleased. "It means the portal won't collapse on itself like it did at SHEILD." As Tony was walking towards the control panel and Maria Hill, he turned to Thor and patted his muscular arm. "No hard feelings point-break, you had a mean swing."
Thor gave a weird look to him. And everyone else just watched in wonder. Well, expect for Anne and Natasha who both have seen him in action a million times before. Stark continued as he stood in the control panel. "It also means the portal can open as wide and stay open as long as Loki wants."
He started to turn around and barking out orders to SHEILD personnel without batting an eyes. They all proceeded to give him a weird look as he did so. "Ah! Raise the mizzen mass, ship the topsails." He pointed to the right. "That man is playing Galaga! Thought we wouldn't notice. But we did." Tony now covered one of his eyes, peering over to screens. He turns over to Maria and points to the ministers. "How does Fury even see these?"
Maria, who seemed unbothered, said in a monotone voice: "He turns." Her arms laced over each other as they rested on her chest. Her feet were planted steadily on the ground.
"Sounds exhausting." Tony sighed. He began to touch the screens laid out in front of him, continuing to talk mindlessly. Meanwhile, Maria was watching him and his movements very carefully. "The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on easily. The only major component he needs is a power source. A high energy density. Something to- kick start the cube."
