Mercury | Avengers

Chapter 4

Mercury

The next day everyone was hard at work looking up things to find out where Ultron could be. The team decided that they would try to find a way back home for me as soon as the more important situation was put at hand. I mean I was a little offended but considering I've seen the entirety of this movie, I didn't take it to heart. Finding Ultron was and is the top priority right now.

Steve had just walked up the stairs to where we were when he handed Thor a tablet.

"What's this?" Tony asked as Thor slammed the tablet harshly against his torso. Tony took tablet and read the screen carefully.

"A message," Steve answered Tony. "Ultron killed Strucker."

"And he did a Banksy at a crime scene," Tony said. I smiled at his unnecessary but highly appreciated one liner.

"This is a smoke screen," Natasha added. "Why sent out a message when you've just given a speech."

"Strucker knew something that Ultron wanted us to miss," Steve whispered as he tried to piece everything together.

I let out a deep breath as I tapped Bruce on the shoulder to follow me. "Come on Bruce," he gave me a confused look as he followed me otherwise.

"Where are we going?" He asked me, fumbling with his hands.

"You're going to show me where Tony keeps all his files, paper files."

"Why?" He asked. He turned to the team to see them talking when he heard Natasha.

"I bet he-," Natasha stopped herself as the computer came up blank. "Yeah, everything we had on Strucker has been erased."

The team looked to each other in a moment before Steve interrupted.

"Not everything."

I just smirked as Bruce looked at me unbelievably. I just laughed it off as he followed behind me to gather the files.

It took a while but finally Banner and I had just finished bringing in the last box of files to look through. Thor was tossing lids everywhere while everyone was reading carefully about anything they had on Strucker. I felt my stomach grumble and quickly excused myself to the kitchen. If I could find my way, this place was a freaking fortress inside a maze.

I exited the room not that anyone noticed and begin looking for my way to the kitchen. I fumbled with my fingers before deciding to ask JARVIS for directions.

"Uh, JARVIS, could you tell me where the kitchen is?" I felt stupid talking to empty space but felt even more stupid when I realized JARVIS was practically dead right now so I really was talking to nothing.

I face palmed myself before trudging along and finding my way. I eventually found my way to the kitchen and decided on a just cooking up a cup of noodles. I placed the water filled, noodle tangled, cup in the microwave and leaned against the counter.

I crossed my arms as I waited for the 3 1/2 minutes to be up.

I took my time to look around and realized I had never seen this place before on the movies. I doubt Tony even cooked his own meals let alone used an oven. I was sure this was here just for aesthetic purposes.
