Andromeda | Thor [1] |

8- Tony's Tower, Andromeda's Anguish

**Song Beautiful Light by Uppermost**

The words of Astraeus echo in my mind...

"May The Fates be on your side..." What did he mean by that and where is New Mexico?

Shaking my head I look over to see Nat fawning over a random guy and Clint is getting anther drink. Strange... I haven't seen him dance with another girl other than Nat. They'll probably be fine if I leave early.

The cool air hits me like a wall as I walk out of the sweaty club. I'll never understand this Midgardian ways. I make my way to an alley where nobody is around. Closing my eyes I summon my wings, a small pressure forms in between my shoulder blades. Opening my eyes I smile, flying has always calmed my nerves. Crouching low I ready myself for take off. It only takes a few seconds for me to already become airborne high about the buildings. Looking around I see a tall building standing out from the others. Using the wind I start to glide twards it. The words 'STARK' lit up along the side.

**Tony Stark's POV**

"Excuse me sir, but I feel the need to tell you something." I hear JARVIS' monotone voice tell me.

"What is it JARVIS? You know you can tell me anything, we're bros right?" I say with a smirk as Pepper rolls her eyes at me.

"Yes sir, we are. There appears to be a living organism with high power levels making its way to Stark Tower, sorry, now has landed on the top of Stark Tower." I choke on my burbon and summon my suit.

"JARVIS make sure it doesn't leave. Start scanning it and start recording." I order while my suit forms around me, "And Pepper, stay here." she sighs at me while walking to the elevator. I fly out the window and make my way to the top of the tower.

"Analysis report JARVIS." I say as I near the top of my tower. Damn, why did I have to build it so tall?

"The creature appears to be human. Though there are some atributes about it that suggest otherwise." My eyebrows raise and I wait for him to continue.

"The DNA suggests that it is not human either. I cannot detect anything that is from Earth other than the clothing it wears."

"So what, its an Alien?"

"Yes, sir, that would be my guess." My feet 'klink' when they hit my upper roof terrace. I look around for the suspicius alien.

"To your right sir." JARVIS says with a sigh.

Looking to my right I am surprised to see a woman. She can't be any older than 20. She is wearing a dress with heels and-wait, she has wings.

"Uh, excuse me lady. But what are you doing on my terrace?" She turns her head to me, shockingly here eyes are golden. Like molten gold shimmering in the night. She gasps and falls off the seat she was sitting on. A strange melody flows out of her mouth, it looks as though she is talking to me but no words are coming out of her mouth. She holds a hand to her heart and starts to speak english but her accent is very strange, French and British?

"I'm sorry sir, I was unaware that someone lived here. I was just looking for a place to view the stars, but it seems here the stars don't like to show themselves here..." she says with a sigh while looking up at the sky.

"JARVIS start documenting this."

"I have been since you landed sir."

"Well that is New York for you. No stars for us." I say in response for her, "If you don't mind me asking, but what are you?" She looks a bit taken aback by the question but answers it anyway, though she seems a bit hesitant.

"I am the Goddess Andromeda, from the Realm of Spatium-" she is cut off by Pepper walking through the door.

"My name is Pepper Potts. Nice to meet you and I would like to apologise for the blunt rudeness of my boss Tony here, you know men." Andromeda smiles at Pepper and shakes her hand.

"I completely agree Lady Pepper. Though Sir Tony wasn't being that rude. I believe that it was all my fault anyway. I didn't mean to intrude upon your building, as I said before I was looking for the stars."

"Well, would you like to come inside? I could get you some coffee or something. Do you like coffee?" Pep says to Andromeda.

"Pepper, we've stablished that Andromeda is an Alien. Do you think that she would know what coffee is? Then again, who knows how long you have been on earth." I say while looking at Andromeda.

"Only a week Sir Tony, do not fret. I'm being watched over, I'm not illegal or anything-wait do I need a visa of some sort? Oh I can sort this out on my own time. I look forward to meeting you all again soon. Goodbye Lady Pepper and Sir Tony. I bid thee adieu." Andromeda says while falling off of the building.

Pepper gasps and rushes towards the edge only to see the wonderful winged woman (see what I did there:D) fly back up with a smile and a wave. Andromeda turns around and flies west.

"Well JARVIS, things certainly did get a little more interesting around here didn't they?"

"They certainly did sir."

**Andromeda's POV**

I make my way back to S.H.I.E.L.D knowing that Nat is going to be pissed at me for leaving and Clint is probably going to think that I left with some random man. Though I didn't leave with one I certainly met a weird man. Who goes around wearing a metal suit? Midgardians shall never cease to amaze me with there strange customs.

I walk into the common room that I share with Nat and Clint along with some other agents that I haven't bothered to learn the name to. Turning to my left I see Nat laying on the couch with a bottle of 'Asprin' in one hand and a glass of what looked to be water in the other.

"Ugh you're lucky that you can't get drunk Andie... The aftermath is not worth it." she tells me with a side glance and a grimace.

"Nat, don't even try right now! We all know you're lying! Drinking is your favorite thing in the world." I hear Coulson say as he walked through the room. She responds to him with a groan. I giggle slightly as I watch their banter.

"Where did you wander off to last night?" I hear Clint say from beside me. I glance at him and swallow.I can't tell him about Astraeus. I've heard of stories like this before, they never end well. It seems as though my string of fate has been altered so much and I have to fix it before the fates do what is easiest, cut it. Which essentially means that I'm going to die.

"I met a man named Tony and a wonderful woman named Pepper Potts." I say with a smile as I think about the nice couple I met... They are a couple right? My mood shifts from thoughts of death to thoughts of my newest friends who like to build towers and have robots.

"Wait did you meet Tony Stark?!" Clint yells out. I flinch in surprise, what was so wrong about meeting Tony Stark, it isn't like he's famous or anything!

"Andromeda, you've compromised yourself! You can't continue on this mission now that you've met Tony! The whole point was for you to go in undercover with Natasha." Clint sighs loudly and pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Well we better tell Fury about what happened-" Clint gets cut off by Coulson.

"Oh we are well aware of what Andromeda has done, it actually works to our advantage in some weird way." Coulson says to Clint then he directs his attention to me, "Although, Andromeda you won't be able to continue with the mission. Meet Directory Fury in the conference room for your debrief of your new one at 3:00 sharp.I hope you like Astrophysics and the heat because that is all you're going to be seeing and feeling when you leave for New Mexico."
