Iron Woman

Plot Twist

"pretty? they were gorgeous." Tony mumbled. 

"see! you like him." Natasha grinned. Tony's cheeks flaired up.

"what! no! I can't just fall in love with someone as soon as I meet them! it's not a Disney movie!" Tony glared.

"thats you think. I fell in love with Clint the first time we met." Natasha shrugged.

"well.... yeah... I fell in love with Bruce that way.... technically...." Tony sighed. "but I clearly made a wrong choice in him." Tony said.

"look, I bet all you have to do, is ask Stephen to dinner as payment for the gloves so you can get to know him." Natasha said. they paused in their walking as an orange ring appeared in front of them. they stepped back as, what looked like, Stephens cloak floated through.

"umm... what are you?" Tony ask. the cloak fluttered happily and attached itself to Tony's shoulders. "hey! get off!" Tony shouted.

"I think it's Stephens." Natasha said.

"Levi! get back here!" Stephen shouted and walked through the portal. he seemed extremely embarrassed. "uh... heh. sorry about him." Stephen said.

"him?" Tony ask.

"yup. his name is Levi and he needs to get back in the portal now." Stephen glared pointing. Levi drooped and sadly floated through the portal. Stephen sighs. "he's appreciative that you're helping me with my hands and unfortunately can portal anywhere I've been. sorry." Stephen added. Tony nods slightly, eyes looking down at Stephens hands.

"they're shaking less." Tony observed.

"yeah. the gloves are really helping." Stephen smiled. Tony nods slightly.

"good. I'm working on the braces for your hands. you can come by within the next day or two and they should be finished." Tony said.

"again, thank you. if there's anything I can do..." Stephen said trailed. Natasha pushed Tony forward and Tony swatted at her.

"no, its okay." Tony said. "but... I am interested in your powers and would be willing to buy dinner if you'd sit down to discuss them with me." Tony offered. Stephen raised an eye brow surprised.

"inviting me to dinner to discuss my powers? and you're going to pay?" Stephen ask confused.

"yeah. I mean, its not really fair to ask you to discuss business with me and make you pay." Tony said. Stephen shrugged with a nod.

"okay. sure." Stephen said.

"awesome, say... tomorrow at 7?" Tony ask.

"sure." Stephen nodded.

"just portal to the tower." Tony said. Stephen nodded and walked back through the portal. Tony turned to Natasha. "happy?" Tony ask.

"very." Natasha smirked. she and Natasha kept walking down the street. after a few hours they headed back to the tower. hair fixed, nails repainted, coffee's and doughnuts in hand. Clint looked up from the couch.

"hey baby. you guys have fun?" Clint ask.

"yup! Tony's got a date!" Natasha grinned.

"it's not a date!" Tony shouted face turning bright red. "it's dinner." Tony pouted.

"date? with who?" Phil ask.

"it's not a date! I'm having dinner with that Strange guy to talk about his abilities tomorrow night." Tony said.

"date." Clint and Natasha said at the same time.

"it is not a date!" Tony glared. Natasha laughed.
