Iron Woman

Derek

"thank you." Tony said. Stephen nods slightly and rubs his face.

"let me get you guys back to the tower, so you can eat some breakfast." Stephen said.

"fuck yeah! food!" Tony cheered. Stephen opened a portal and Tony ran through, but he stopped Natasha.

"whats up?" Natasha ask.

"she doesn't sleep in her room? why?" Stephen ask.

"she got attacked, by a blind date named Derek." Natasha said. Stephen straightened.

"and this Derek.... he has a last name?" Stephen ask.

"don't know what it is, but Tony sent me this picture he sent her a few days ago." Natasha said, showing him her phone with picture of a strange man holding a picture of Tony.

"I see... well enjoy your breakfast Natasha." Stephen nodded.

"you won't be eating with us?" Natasha ask.

"no I've got a sanctum to watch." Stephen smiled slightly. Natasha nods. "but I will be back tonight for Tony until we find another way." Stephen added.

"alright. bye." Natasha waived as the portal closed. she headed to the kitchen and paused on her way there. "he wouldn't hurt Derek.... right...?" Natasha mumbled. she shrugged and walked off. Tony looked happier than normal, probably because she had slept some.

"you look happy." Clint said.

"I slept pretty good." Tony said.

"Stephen used a spell to get rid of nightmares." Natasha explained.

"the best sleep I've had since I became a girl." Tony laughed.

"sir.... this is... a visitor at the door." Jarvis said hesitantly. everyone paused, clearly confused.

"well that can't be good. c'mon Nat." Tony said, heading downstairs. Natasha followed quickly. they headed to the door and paused. Derek was laying on the ground bleeding. there was a tape on his chest. Natasha grabbed the tape quickly. "what is happening?" Tony ask.

"I dunno but lets watch the tape." Natasha said, looking at the tape. they headed for the living room.

"Jarvis play the tape." Tony said.

"of course sir." Jarvis said.

"who was it?" Phil ask.

"Derek." Tony said.

"what did he want?" Steve growled.

"he was beat to hell and there was a tape." Tony said as the tv came on. it was Derek he was beat and appeared to be begging for his life, but he was apologizing to Tony and promising not to ever come near her again. they stared until Jarvis turned the tape off.

"wh-what was that?" Clint ask.

"I have no idea." Tony said. "but I'm impressed, someone is clearly on my side." Tony said. Bruce frowned slightly and Natasha shot him a dirty look.

"so Tony..." Phil said. Tony looked over. "are you and the good doctor having fun?" Phil smirked.

"I don't like Bruce. infact, he's not even my science bro anymore. he's an asshole." Tony shrugged walking off.

"I-I... I meant... nevermind." Phil said. Natasha laughed and looked at Phil.

"you totally ask for that. you always call Bruce that." Natasha said.

"I just assumed since she didn't like Bruce and is falling head over heals for the other one, she'd assume it was him." Phil said. Bruce frowned and turned, walking off. he was going to confront Tony and confess. he found Tony in the elevator, heading to her room, where he knew she wouldn't get off.
